Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1940 volume:

AS LONG AS TWENTY DAYS ARE NOW” WORDSWORTH A RECORD DF FOUR YEARS AT EAST HDCKAWAY HIGH SCHUUI. THE ROCK FDR 1940 FOREWORD We of this modern generation envy the people of the Gay Ninety” days, days when precious pictures, each telling a different story, were stowed away in the family albums, and later brought out and dusted off, to illuminate the owner’s memories. Consequently we have chosen as our theme the old-fashioned album, that we, too, may bring out this yearbook from among our school day collections, and refresh our minds with these glorious memories. As wc sit next to Mary in study hall or Tom in English, we think we will never forget the day her chair fell through or the humorous talk he gave on women’s hats. But, memories arc elusive and the incidents and faces we think we will never forget, will gradually become dim and tarnished with age. That calamity shall not be ours, for here in these pictured pages are the means of recollection. What a joyful, tingling feeling will envelope us as we turn back the leaves of this album and £4 ] suddenly sec before our eyes the very expression on Mary’s face the day .. . What sincere laughter shall peal forth as we recall Tom’s unconscious wit and Johnny’s comical antics. Let no skeptic say that wc of today arc lacking in a love of sentiment, for under that oft heard pretentious remark, I’m too old for that,” there isn’t one of us who doesn’t experience a happy emotion when we receive a valentine or singing telegram. Yes, the so-called sophisticate of the 1940 period of ’Gone With The Wind,” Glenn Miller, wedge heels and the Lindy Hop, are all as openly sentimental as were their grandparents in the 1890 era of antimacassars, tintypes, stereoscopes and lambrequins. And so as we advance to that lavender and old lace” stage, and tenderly glance through this cherished book, you will hear us query, Do you remember the time ... ?” Will you ever forget that day in History . . . ?” Ah! these reminiscences are yet to be ours; ours to capture and relive; ours to laugh over and cry over; ours to be locked in our hearts as vivid, vital memories! DEDICATION A person who impresses others with her strength, her knowledge, and her understanding usually has character as the source of that personal attractiveness. To us, Miss Elizabeth Gordon, our class advisor and instructor in Senior English, is the epitome of that thought. Miss Gordon has made manifest to us her aptitude in the English and dramatic field. In October, 1939, she was awarded the degree of Master of Arts by Cornell University, a result of continued work in dramatic structure and history. An example of her ability and interest in this field is shown by an active dramatic club which she has sponsored for four years, each year presenting a successful play, Queen’s Husband”, The Late Christopher Bean”, The Royal Family”, and then Growing Pains”. In the same four years, each literary staff of the ROCK has felt the essential support and capable guidance that she so readily gives. As Miss Gordon gracefully stands before her class reading a passage from Shakespeare in her soft, expressive voice, we see a person whose love for books is genuine. Her enthusiasm for good authors of any and all periods of writing — Burns, Millay and Anderson — is often transmitted to her students to a marked degree. This enthusiasm so diligently carried out is one of our most valuable inheritances from four years in high school. Among Miss Gordon’s treasured volumes is a variety of titles; Ogden Nash’s, I’m A Stranger Here Myself”; Hudson’s, Green Mansions”; Pearl Buck’s, The Good Earth”, and Mary Webb’s, Precious Bane”. These books lying invitingly about, frequently urge apathetic people to make new acquaintances or delight practiced readers looking for fresh inspiration. Diversified interests make the well-rounded individual. Our clever mentor may at times be heard discussing the back-hand stroke in tennis; an animating experience with her favorite mount at the Hempstead stables, or a thrilling polo match she attended. Her long hikes are often made more companionable by the company of Jill, a thoroughly pleasant embodiment of the best Irish Setter traits. Miss Gordon’s fine personality is revealed by her own philosophy of life in which she believes that tolerance, sympathy and the beautiful things in the world take the major lead. . . . And so to the teacher who is never too busy to nod and smile when we pass her desk, we dedicate our 1940 yearbook! THE 11IIEli LLIEIIAIIY STAFF Fu t Ruw Lillis Lieari, Wilson. Judge.

Dear old golden rule days— From class to class we daily roam (And wish and wish that we were home). As you read this section through. Remember, sir, that all we do Is done because of folks like these Who do their very best to please. Although at times we do forget These teachers, we would never let A person think that we don't love Their every help, and push, and shove. And as through life we fight our way Stumbling on from day to day, Then we all shall truly miss The folks of whom you read in this. D. R. THE ADMINISTRATORS Dr. Studwell, who with his dignity tempered with humor. has earned the good will of his faculty and the respect of the pupils, finds in Mrs. Marshall a capable assistant known to the faculty as an habitual but kindly practical joker and to the students as an efficient, well-dressed secretary. Mr. Langworthy shows unending patience and consideration as lie spends busy days helping other people solve their problems. Aiding Imn with his secretarial drudgery is Miss Schcmpp., who also keeps vigil in the hall to see that tardy pupils become more prompt. THE ENGLISH TEACHERS From the participial section we have gracious Miss Gordon and Miss Hickman, who, outside of her informal English Classes, has a blithe air that proves her a more than satisfactory advisor for Library Club. A touch of vitality is Miss Kane, whose ingenious mimicing creates a spark of humor in her classes throughout the day. Miss Lin genus’s giggle which permeates her classes reveals her jolly nature Next is Mrs Reilly, the seniors’ premier’’ English teacher, who kept us laughing with her Celtic humor THE IIISTilIIV TEACHERS Teacher of History A. B and C, we think of Miss Cattcrall as a pleasant person, who this past year, has become interested in tennis and skating Hi-Y members know Mr- Joy as a most generous advisor whose classes arc livened by the amusing incidents she can relate. When Mrs. Yettcr takes a vacation from the explorations of Balboa and Drake, she will undoubtedly be seen digging up plants and weeds in her garden. I II E M A I II T E A E II E II S Since Mr. Davison has become Bimbo's Pop. his interest in piny punt! has Ixren divided, hut it's made no difference in his vehemence for math. Mr. Hoppcn guides pupils patiently through equations and various algebraic expressions with a good humor and gentlemanly manner Besides collecting glass and old silverware. Mrs. Joy helps elementary algebra students to understand the difficult subject of factoring. Mrs. Suits, our attractive piano player, shows an understanding of her arithmetic pupils, which aids Iter in correcting their problems. THE SCIENCE TEACHERS Mr. Hermanson, who teaches students biology, general science and physics, lias won the friendship of his pupils with lus droll good humor and friendliness. Even his sporty new car has not changed his attitude toward pupils he passes on the street. We shall not soon forget Mr Hoppcn s crocodile (Oscar) Nor shall he! This wild animal has been in his care for nearly two years now. Mr. Langworthy, who makes Cltemistry more bearable with jokes, also has sprung more than once an unexpected test which lus caused great consternation. THE I. AIM li LI Alii! TEACHERS Known for her excellent French accent, our traveled Miss Davies, who conducts her French classes in a businesslike fashion, has contributed to the life of French Club with lier powers as an interesting conversationalist. Miss Kane makes her Latin translations lively stones as she interrupts them with jokes and dramatizations. Another teacher who uses the dramatic in her teaching is Miss Langenus, who makes gestures in the true French manner .� she explains about M Pcrrichon. Bourn, Bourn, the clown. She also finds untold amusement in the pupils' translations, which are more often funny than correct. Till: CUMME11CIAL TEAEIlEll!i While figuring! out the net profit. Mr. Halford amuses his pupils with a hit of dry-humor. Our grinning hookkeeping teacher nukes a familiar site while ambling along with his dog (iuppy. Her competence in teaching the fundamentals of typing doesn't hide the fact that Miss Barron makes a pretty picture with her smart clothes and debonair spirit. THE SPECIAL TEACHERS Mrs. Nelson is that charming hostess who can turn from a needle and thread to a mixing howl with a deftness that marks her ability as a home cc. teacher. From her spick and span kitchen we go to the shop, where we find Mr Lena calmly explaining how to mold a plaque. His broader interest, we hope, lies in the girls of the Craft Club, when Ik patiently shows them how to carve designs on wood. Leader of a hand, director of a chorus, instructor of music classes, our proficient Mr. Fordham still finds time for the outdoor life he craves. THE A II T T E A E II E II fi Mr Salford, the well-dressed man, has become quite attached to his new farm, and since Ik is a collector of furniture and china we can imagine that with his artistic taste if will he quite a place. Mrs. Sehroeder, who looks the part of the artist in her smocks, carries on an interesting conversation punctuated with sprightly humor as well as she conducts her art classes. [12] THE ATHLETIC COACHES If you haven’t seen Miss Rudiger's imitations in gym class, you've missed a good laugh. This athlete is versatile, for she can turn easily from sports to b x ks, and not only to rule hooks, for she finds pleasure in poetry, novels and plays. Clever Miss Tice wastes no time, for she may usually he seen with some knitting to keep her fingers busy when she is not refereeing a game Coach Carter, who sports bright socks, tics and shirts, is also sporting a new car these days. He shines in baseball and in the summer plays a hard game on a fast Canadian team. MISS HICKMAN,THE I.IHH All! Could you tell me where I can find a travel Kx� k? How many times a day docs Miss Hickman answer questions similar to this’ But she won’t merely tell you that a book is on such and such a shelf, but will fetch it and others for you Her resourceful head is full of references from all types of books. When not wrapped up in literature. Miss Hickman finds dolls an interesting hobby. There i a bit of the nomad in her. too, as her friend receive cards from such places as Bermuda and Miami. No one fails to notice the cheerful aspect Miss Hickman lends the library with her vivid flowers, as he enters to seek her valuable aid. miss r.niifisii h. tin: xunsi: Our nurse. Miss Cruikshank, has a bonny Scotch humor. When she bandages up your scratches or eradicates y mr pains, she does it with a cool complacency that is very re assuring. She could well be the star of an amateur hour, for her whistle is unique; the melodies issue from lips that seem to be in repose The junior high students have benefited from her classes on the care of the baby, where she earned on her demonstration with a nibber doll. I II E C E S T II II I A K !i Here are those indispensable men, without whose patient service, many of our activities could not be held. When not tending his flowers, you may find our Mr. Muller by the river with his rod and line. Although a breeder of dogs and raiser of vegetables, Mr Kasold's favorite pastime is cultivating prize dahlias. You wouldn’t think as you saw-hefty Bill Robins shoveling snow that his fnends declare him the champion icc cream eater. Mrs. Lass is that jolly janitress whose good nature and generosity are shown as she offers to make the girls’ costumes each year at Rock Rivalry. [13] tin: mmi s This Association is completing its fourth year, having been organized in December, 1936, to serve tin. needs of the new, rapidly growing high school. It welcomes both fathers and mothers (as well as anyone else interested in pa rent-teacher purposes) and holds its monthly meeting in the evening, on the first Thursday in the month. In the carrying outof our work, we are engaged in the following activities: Sponshorship of the Parent Teacher Choral Underwriting and managing the high school lunchroom Furnishing transportation to students on approved school projects Furnishing, wholly or m part, dental and optical aid to students: also in sending delegates to the annual press conference at Columbia University Organizing a party for the Junior High graduating class in June Dinner tendered to Senior graduating class in June Annual scholarship award of $10 ) to a selected graduating student To keep these projects in successful operation requires the wholc-ltcarted and untiring efforts of a group of mothers, members of this Association, who give of their time and talents in order to maintain the spirit of helpfulness which has been in evidence since the Association began in 1936, with Mrs. Miller as its first president. [14] The officer? for 19MM940 are: President Mr. Thomas J. Kelley: 1st Vice President Mr? Dewey Munson; 2nd Vice President Mr? Walter Kirch; Treasurer Mrs Hilliard Proctor; Recording Secretary-Miss Marjorie Barron; Financial Secretary Mr. Harold Sherman; Corresponding Secrc fury Mrs. Herbert Carter Committees: Publicity Mrs. Stephen McGrath; Finance Mr?

Reception—Mr Matthew Kuckens We are proud of our membership of 100% of the faculty; proud of our parent membership of interested fathers and mothers: and of our whole, friendly, congenial, cooperating group, with each once doing his share to make good on our slogan: “To advance ourselves, so that we may help our childre ever-growing, ever-developing high school. n to do likewise; and thus keep pace with our CLASSES CLASSES From the homes of diverse parents at the jolly age of five We came into our schoolhouse, not so glad to be alive. Here we've lived together in a non-phlegmatic state As cut-ups some, as scholars some, we often walked in late. We've spent twelve years together as the closest sort of pals And we think wc'rc quite a dandy bunch of fellows and of gals. To keep these memories burning we here do show to all A portrait and description of each one. short or tall. As now we lay aside our books and step out into life— Some to pick a husband, some to find a wife. Some to find success and fame, some to—who knows what?— We leave to each this year book as sincere forget-me-not. To one and all from each of us, however gay or sporty. We show herein those whom we love: the Seniors. Class of '40. DR. CLASS DF 1940 There's been a big delusion going on around here. From Monday till Friday, forty-two weeks of each year for twelve years, the class of ’40 has been right on hand, getting an education. Sly teachers know why we stuck to this terrific grind; they had us thinking school was fun! Present day bustlers in the McGovern and Betty Decker manner got their training early. At the very beginning, teachers put us to play with crayons and blunt scissors. There hasn't been a dull moment since. In fact, we've been so anaesthetized by activity that we hardly felt the pain of learning algebra, biology, grammar or typing. We made castles from oatmeal boxes on portable sand tables. We made maps from a sluppy slup” of soaked newspapers and peopled them with native villages of decorated clothes pins. In the upstairs hall of Centre Avenue School, railroad man Dick Blcsscr managed an elaborate system of tracks and switches, while-air man Harper West built balsa models after school till six o’clock. We all had a grand time. School routine was broken by games, stretching exer- SENIOR Prendent. Robert McGovc Secretary. Virginia Krull cises as we faced the open windows, and hilarious races around the rows of desks. Oakley Johnson always won the eraser race because the top of his head was conveniently flat. On Thursdays at Centre and Tuesdays at Rhame, our teachers directed a mass evacuation to assembly, where we were entertained by movies, policemen, glass blowers, and plays from upper classes. F.xtra subjects were a joy to those who like them and a joke to all the rest. For music sessions we sometime traveled to the auditorium piano, horsing along the way. Drawing had a special room and woe betide if Miss Emmick heard a racket from her pupils cn route. That meant we had to form a line and come down the stairs all over again and again. In the proper proportion, they gave us outdoor activity, beginning with lower grade gardens and culminating in the Rhamc-Centre track meet. There Bertha Vobornik won blue ribbons annually, to Centre Avenue’s despair. On track meet days there was no school in the afternoon. Mr. Bormann, in white ducks, mopped his head and recorded the points while teachers in ankle socks and sun-back frocks watched over the separate events. Miss Rudiger with a megaphone reigned supreme. [it] CLASS OFFICERS rn. Vice President. Ruth O'Bncn. Treasurer. William Mcldcnhurg Intcr-school track meets, spelling bees and the sharing of the BUZZER, month to month, were the only relations between us future freshmen at high school (it was only a blue print then). These connections were competitive, to say the least. Also, since not all our fun was innocent, teachers held us up to each other and made dire predictions of the day when Rhamc and Centre should meet their superiors in high school. 1936 came and the only conflicts were jealousies that followed some new romances. As a class we have made some records of significance: a Monte Carlo, financially successful; a Junior Play Nile, that may yet become tradition; a balance of $200 in September ’39 to begin the year book. It took us to give a Prom, the first socially successful hop in ERHS history. Free cats were part of the success although Beverly Lillis and Margaret Wilson had tremors at the appalling rate the punch bowl emptied Our resourceful janitors brought a bucket of water and the evening was saved. Our spirits really flared at the first senior Rock Rivalry meeting, a tempestuous two-hour siege. Richie Pastor was one tempest, supporting Devil’s Island as a theme; Vernon Casper spoke for LiE Abner and Daisy Mae, Look, we got a feud right here.” Red Farrell got his [16] Irish up defending Joe College (by collaboration with Jerry Kizelstein this budded into Swing College for the crazy). William Campbell stood on a chair and denounced the cliques. It was mighty. Outside of class doings, there’s been fun too. On a bent oak limb on the Centre Avenue playground, little boys used to kiss the little girls. At Rhame, there were elaborate chases through the lots near school. At sunny ball games and on drippy days, the parking lot was popular, full of car owners’ friends and friends’ friends begging rides home. Vernon Casper, Hid red Hitchcock, Clem Pritchard, Walter Geery and Margie Licari packed them in as long as the doors would close behind them. Only a very few black spots marred our sunny careers. We remember the Lennes’ arithmetic pads that Roy McClure alone could master. For excursions to the museum or the zoo we didn’t always get a seat in the car our hearts desired. The capable class below us frequently beat our teams. But now we laugh recalling. We remember school as brimming with fun and happiness and certain satisfactions. We’ll think back to them whenever we hear a fire whistle blow at eight o’clock the morning after blizzards, whenever we smell floor wax down a clean corridor after a holiday, whenever we see crumpled loose leaf papers escaping down a windy avenue.

THE J U IV 1 II H CLASS We won! After months of hard labor we finally walked off with top honors at Rock Rivalry. Ami hard labor it was! The day before Rock Rivalry in 1938 we evolved the idea of “Dante’s Inferno” for a theme. Roger Mackin. our class artist, drew sketches all through the summer of this startling idea. The girls decided to make things even more fantastic by using green make-up and nail polish. However, the night of Rock Rivalry they decided not to use it and the complaints of Betty Jane Keyes about waste of money were loud and long. When we learned we could not have a Junior Play, the complaints were even louder and longer, hut wc remembered that Kate Smith and Edith Kelly played leading roles in Growing Pams and wc were greatly appeased In order to have a Junior Prom this year wc decided to sell “Magic Pads. Results showed the greatest number of sales came from the seniors, because they realised that il they weren't sold there probably wouldn’t be any prom! £38] I t Row Haider, Southard. Schmitz.

Our eighth grade is divided into three home-rooms, each of which has tts own officers and government. Mr. Lcnz' class is called group A; Mrs. Suits . group B and Mr. Hop pen's, group C. Group A is the smallest class, therefore it has the fewest officers. John Byrne is president; Eileen Abrams, vice president and Gloria Conley, secretary. Group B has as its president, Thomas Doherty; vice president, Marjone Kirch and secretary, Jane Homer, besides numerous committee heads and members. William Thornblow is president of group C, Frank Scharfcnbcrg is vice president and Ellen Tcmmen is secretary. Class meetings are held once a week in activity period to discuss committees, old and new business and affairs in general. Court is held after school for offenders who are judged and disciplined by the respective committees. They also boast of a regular weekly current-event discussion, aside from their student government. 1 t Row Stein targ, Combs. Andemm. Ambler. Bemhardi. Grudinin, Clark. John-un. Kniernn. Donaldson.

Would we be able to sing in the chorus, he on athletic teams, and be in plays? Questions like tliese filled our minds for weeks before we came on that important September morning to high school. When we arrived, we found life very different. Changing classes was confusing at first, but later on wc liked the chance to move around and talk things over with each [ 2] other. Of course, the students from upstairs sometimes told us how young we were, hut generally they were nice to us. especially the hall cops. The girls found what fun making skirts and dresses could he in home ec and learn-ing to bathe Miss Cruiekshank's rubber baby doll. The hoys enjoyed watching the older hoys work in tlic foundry in shop almost as much as they liked making hook-ends and other wood products, themselves. Other classes and activities we found interesting, too. so interesting that we know wc shall like being East Rockaway students, if every other year is as much fun as this one has been ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES Wc sleep our way through Chemistry and doze through History C. Take a nap in Physics, then slumber through French III. We're in a daze throughout our class in Solid or Advanced Then take a brief vacation through the theories Darwin chanced. But when we hear the bell go off that tells us school is out, It brings us back from dreamland with a big delightful shout! We tear from different class rooms as we leave that daze behind And lose all signs of slumber and that one terrific grind. If you are gripped with interest by change kaleidoscopic, Then thumb your way at leisure through this interesting topic That tells you of the lighter side of things here round-about And also of the things we do when school at last is out.

He was always an admirable, poised president whether he was asking Marjorie Munson to read her minutes of the previous meeting, or reminding us to scan the pages of the local newspapers for accounts of school happen ings for our scrap-book. We Remember, Wc Remember how gratified we felt when we found tlut the rule we had worked over for Rock Rivalry helped to make it run with excitement, but with in) upset. We were pleased, too. with the student body's appreciation of our successful attempt to obtain permission for dancing after basketball games. Probably our most popular activity of the year was the assembly program at which the “Three Eight Balls introduced their original composition, Study Hall Blues. We Remember, We Remember moments of laughter that broke into the serious nature of our business. Utsic Moore had as difficult a time remaining dignified while trying traffic-offender George Faulkner as did the culprit. Andy Dyke gave us another occasion for chuckling when he volunteered to patrol the kills during activity period. Wc knew lie preferred wandering through the halls to studying in his homeroom!

We Remember, We Remember Margaret Wilson on the platform feeling conspicu-ous, especially about her feet. Although Dave Rickard professed nerves, he sang so lustily that it embarrassed Anne Proctor sitting beside him. We Remember, We Remember our accord when Doris stated that inducting is worse than being inducted. The inductors all drew slips to be master of ceremonies, since the lucky holder of the gavel wouldn't have a speech to prepare. Margie Munson got it. We Remember, We Remember all nominating ourselves president when Alice Henng suggested that we hold a meeting while posing as above (“a swell looking bunch photographer).

At one of the assemblies our solo cornetist forgot to bring her cornet, and obtained it barely in time to go on the stage. Finally, we went to Riverhead and impressed the judge so much that he gave us a 11 rating (87-95%) which made us eligible to enter competition for the State championship. Our rating there was so good that wc entered the national competition at Albany. Wc Remember. We Remember our annual Spring Concert, and new and popular event, the bi-monthly concerts in the park. On June 8, we played at the World s Fair in conjunction with East Rockaway Day. and finally brought our year to a close with a program at graduation. Wc Remember. We Remember with great pride that Norman Yeakey. flutist, and George Shepherd, tuha player, won 111 rating (80-85%) and David Rickard a II rating at the solo contests at Port Washington.

We Remember. We Remember preparing for the mast important event of our chorus year, the Competition, in which we placed first above all our rivals! We practised the required selections tor over six months and yet when it came near time for tlie first preliminary contest at Riverhead we were still shaky. Also, three members of our chorus who entered the solo competition and came out on top went to tlx- State competition. They were Dorothy Maxwell, Josephine Costanzo and Gertrude Fid red We Remember, We Remember the thrill of singing at the Temple of Religion at the World's Fair on East R«vkaway Day. We had a half hour program that echoed through the near-by Fair Grounds. With this breathtaking event we rounded up our musical year, kxiking forward to the stores of gtxxl times next year will hold. [46] The high school chorus didn't waste any time swinging hack into stride this year, for it was a mere seven days after school opened that a set of little green booklets were issued to a few select individuals and from then on, school hoy pirates spent their time learning: “Come, friends, who plow the sea. Truce to navigation Take another station. ... Also, a bevy of beautiful maidens incessantly chattered about the weather and tripped down the hall singing: Let us gaily tread the measure Of this exceeding pleasure.. . and a group of juvenile policemen looked at their English teacher and wishfully hummed: When a focman hears his steel Tarantara, Tarantara We uncomfortable feel Tarantara.................

As we think back to those rollicking, riotous nights of practice, we recall many delightful moments of the not too-distant past Who has forgotten the night Bill Gillies, Henry Gerberding and Norman Ycakcy ran a race around the auditorium? No one that was there needs to he reminded of Chef Yeakcy‘s proud culinary product—a seven course dinner consisting of seven Mexican Tamales cooked on the stove in the teachers' room. However, much to the amazement of those concerned, forgotten lines came back, sour notes sweetened, flat cadenzas sharpened, marches got on the heat and as a certain young lady will testify, a lover's antics began to acquire a much smoother and more thrilling touch As the eventful nights approached, we found the participants with shattered nerves and smeared make-up. Although a sash dropped at a crucial moment during the show, we are happy to say that both performances were beautifully played, sung and acted to capacity audiences. Let us remind you that it won't be long now until onec again these Carusoes, Flagstads and Melchiors will be ready to entertain you with another Gilbert and Sullivan production. Will you he there?

Vice Prriident —Jane Homer Sponsor-Mr., Re.lly We Remember, We Remember the good times we had in Junior High Dramatic Club under the direction of Mrs Reilly. Our club projects for the year consisted of many « riginal skits, written to brim out the individual talent of our members: monologues, travel talks and pantomimes. Probably the most fun was derived from the tongue twisters that were to help our diction, but instead proved very amusing to all the club members Wc Remember. We Remember our Junior High assembly program, a play entitled Buddy Answers an Ad. This play centered about Buddy, finely portrayed by Lawrence Potlow, who had a mama for answering ads of all types and descriptions. His father and mother. Roy Rappaport and Rose Mane O’Rourke, with the help of his sister and his two best friends, Patricia Run, Jane Homer and William Meagher, played a tnck on him that effectually cured him for all time of this ad answering. Wc Remember. Wc Remember discussing the records of Raymond Massey's Abe Lincoln in Illinois. These- records were so interesting that we arranged an assembly program featuring them that was given over the public address system early in April. [50] Memories of the senior class dramatic club play. Growing Pains, tend to be largely comic, for little of the serious could be expected of high school characters who spoke in the Op language, answering the command, Hopush Opup! with the remark, “Opall Ropight! Tlic grind of rehearsing scenes over sometimes nine times, was lightened by laughter over occurrences as trivial as Evelyn Seely's inevitable tardy arrival for her few entrances and Kenny Grossman's hesitancy about appearing on the stage in shorts, even though they were made of Scotch plaid in the latest design. Wc enjoyed taking the parts of the McIntyre family and their friends, for we know what it is to want high heels, white coats, and “jalopies and to go through the ups and downs of high school romance. We laughed in rehearsals, almost as much as the audience did on the night of the play, at Bill Meklenburg's amusing portrayal of a boy tasting tin delights of a first kiss from the young flirt, Edith Kelley; and Betty Judge's clever char- acterization of a hc-spcctactlcd, hcribboncd wallflower dominated by her dictatorial mother, Agnes O'Neill. Thinking back to the evening spent at Center Avenue, wc find varied memories pop' ping into our minds of Kathleen Smith's practicing on the new thrcc-inch heels, of Utsie Moore's being called “Adolph, and of Bob Keith's arriving on the night that pictures were to be taken wearing the required white coat, but with no tic or shirt under it. We can't forget either the skill that actor-manager Frank Matzke showed in perfecting the attractive set of a Californian patio, or the zeal of Margarethe Eingreiber and Anne Proctor in collecting props—from bicycles to William Campbell's stylish porch swing. Perhaps the antics of Dolly Hermes' dog. or the coca-cola we drank at long rehearsals, or just the gay lines of the play itself gave the air of a lark to our activity. Whatever it was. wc know we enjoyed dramatizing this story of vivacious youth. As the Ops would say, Opit wopas swopcll! [51] THE li I II I, !i ’ II I - Y l«t Row Clemente. McGrath. Munson. O’Brien.

Most of East Rock-away's members spent their time during the showing of the picture in a diligent search lor Martin Smith, our 1939 delegate. Where, oh where was Martin during that convention???

I know I'll long. For the 8:30 bell and the 3:30 gong. The heated discussion in History C, That always proved too much for me: The singing chimes that cut the air. When official announcements started to blare; The sound of scurrying feet in the hall. And tin- telephone's ring from the schoolroom wall. The lull cop's voice saying, Keep to the right!” The welcome cheers of a noon hour fight; The parking lot with ear upon ear. Old Fords and jalopies” with doors ajar; The lower classmen who pushed and shoved; The homework assignments we dearly loved; And so I’ll miss each lively minute I vc spent in school, and everyone in it!

I've barked a lot. but I hear the pen is mightier than tin- bark so here I am taking out my paper and ink to make this official First oi all, I have a complaint to make How is it that no one ever asks me to go for a ride? I've watched Cliffy Platt pile boy after hoy into his limousine. But did he ever ask me to hop in? Oh, no. he certainly did not' And then there’s the Licari girl with the shiny new car. Is she at raid of a few dog hairs on her upholstery? Humph' I have a pedigree! Another matter I d like to mention is about those traffic fellows, Jimmy Alfano and Eldon Hitchcock Did it ever occur to them there's some traffic in my back yard I'd like redirected, particularly th we kids who come down hen.- on tricycles and pull my tail and that stuckup cat of Dons Si mom son's, Mickey? She knows I cant get loose to chase her up a tree or into Mill River, and slie takes advantage of me. You sec. I'm a taxpayer, too (of sons) and I want a share of this traffic protection you people arc getting. While I'm putting in requests how about having Dr Becck come over here to see what he could do about my fleas? Not that I have many, of course, hut there's one named Jonathan, who lus a very large circle of friends and they all meet on me. Don't misunderstand -99 44 100 of the dog world has them, you know. .The next nutter I d like to bring up isn't a complaint— it’s just an idea I had. Would somebody over in the school contact one of the silk stocking companies that pay people to wear their stockings and clock the mileage on them? I have four perfectly g� x l feet, size five, triple A. just going to waste. I might as well be making some pin money to spend on extra dog biscuits or a few pounds of hamburger. You tell them I'll wear their stockings and he glad to do it III bet my mileage per day will top that of anyone else they could get Well, I smell ftxid approaching so I'd better close -in ease anyone doesn't know.

WAY BACK WHEN (Editor's J ote) Irene Sauerbrey found, carefully rolled away in her souveniers, a Christmas letter from a teacher in 1931 to her fifth grade students.

Paul Butkcrcit was referred to as “my little towhead. Henry Southard was referred to as my shrimp. Walter Geery was referred to as “the boy who can't spell. [78] THE FACULTY CONFESS Student who see our faculty sedately carrying on their duties in school prohahly aren't aware that they had moments of deviltry, embarrassment, and unconscious humor when they were our age or younger.

At the end of August his paper came Kick from Albany marked down to 81 per cent and our present principal was out $7.50! Mr. Stiffonl cut school one time because he was wearing long pants for the first time, and what's more, they were purple!

Miss Davies taught hockey at a grammar school while she was a high school senior and received 7 cents an hour even though she never played a game and tluiught a puck was a character in Shakespeare. Miss Kane stayed awake all night worrying about a geometry final she was to take the next day. When the exam came, she fell asleep and made a .'2 per cent in the course. However, the next day she earned a 100 per cent in a chemistry regents. Mrs. Sc ioeder wanting to be realistic in making a poster for a Save Wild Lite Week.' begged a pheasant s head from a hunter friend, and mounted it on her poster.

Sent into the house by his enraged mother, who was busy summoning the fire department, he pondered on how he could evade punishment. An idea came a beautiful idea! When his mother returned still infuriated, there was our mathematician smilingly offering two dollars of his savings to his mother, if she would just forget the whole thing Kid ever happened. Sad to say, his mother wouldn't he bribed. Mr. Kasold put nine mice in the fourth grade teacher's pocket hook when she was out of the room When she returned, she opened her purse to get her handkerchief, felt and saw the mice and promptly fainted.

Mrs. Joy for eating forbidden peppermint candy in school had to draw a map of the United States to scale. After two days’ of hard labor, she had worked from the Atlantic seaboard westward to Pennsylvania. The teacher, fearing a foreign power might subdue America and change its territory before she reached California excused her from the task. Mr . Lass had to stand up against the wall for half a day after she urged twenty-four pals to continue sleighriding through the lunch hour and on into the afternoon. It was such a beautiful day, says Mrs. Lass with a sigh. Mr Robins used to spend most of his school hours adjusting a pin on the top of his shoe to stick into the girl who sat in front of him. Mrs. Reilly confesses she and a friend had an elaborate exchange system worked up whereby she did her friend's English themes in return for carefully done Latin translations. Mr. Carter reports that as he was aimlessly wandering through the school halls one day, he passed by the open door of an English class room, f usy conjugating verbs orally. Hearing the sounds of I am, you are. he is, we are, you are, they are. I am etc —issuing forth, he couldn’t resist the temptation to contribute his bit: he stuck his head inside the door, yelled, “Ych, and so am 1 and ran. Mr. Halford remembers an embarrasing experience on his first date. In honor of iIk occasion he was wearing his first long trousers, and feeling tlwt at last he had reached man's estate. Walking up Mam Street, with Ins girl clinging to his arm, he felt something give his garter was loose and trailing on the sidewalk.

Mrs. Suits Can't look at a purple crayon without feeling very ill. One day when she was still a kindergarten scholar, she was feeling hungry. Looking around for food, she spied a purple crayon and promptly ate it. The Strange Case of Mr. Hermanson Once while dissecting a frog in biology, Hermit forgot how to skin him. The kids in search for the cause used pyschology And found he lud no coffee in him! A BOUQUET FOR LATIN KANE To most of us it is a pain To team that ad means at, But when it's taught by Mary Kane Well, why go into that? —Virgil (?)

THE PROUD POPPA As part of the reportonal work for the yearbook, we were assigned the task of interviewing Mr Davison. Wc immediately secured an idea as to what about, and flew down the hall to room 207, to inform F A D. Sr that he was in for an interview. On what? we were asked. “Your baby,” we replied. Yes, a baby was born to Mr. Davison's betterlulf this year, in case you haven't heard. And is he tough? Why, he can chew nails and spit battleships, we were told And what pnxif is there of this toughness?” Heh! You should have seen him the other morning. He grabbed my glass of pineapple juice m his two paws like this (gesturing) and tried to pick it up. He's only seven months old, you know, and that’s a tough job for a kid that age. On further questioning, it was disclosed that Franklin Pettit (three T's) Davison was bom on September I?, 1939, has reddish-blonde hair, blue eyes, weighs 21 pounds, is 29 inches tall, and drinks pineapple juice. And can he talk? Well, he says all that stuff, but it isn't really words yet. Has he any teeth yet? Oh, they're coming,” was the optimistic reply. “What docs he eat? He eats all that strained stuff. He cats everything, hut he can't hold it He dnnks stuff, too. Stoic my pineapple juice off the table the other morning, and almost drank it Do you want to know his nickname? We call him Bimmic. Where did you get that name from? I don’t know. It just came. How is he for his age? Is he much advanced compared to most children? Well, he hasn't started much math yet. but he is as clever as the dickens You know what he did tlx.' other day? Poured himself a glass of pineapple juice and drank the whole thing. Is he cute? Oh, you bet. What do you think is the cutest thing he’s ever done? This required deep thinking. After a bnef pause for meditation, however, Mr. Einstein Davison broke out in a spontaneous fit of laughing Oh yes. I remember. The other day, Ik drank a can of pineapple juice.” We explained to Poppa Davison that this interview seemed to lack variety. Doesn't Mr. Fourth Dimension Jr. do anything hut drmk pmeapjile juice? Oh sure. He chews nails and spits battleships! With that, we left Mr. Davison to his talk of correcting Advanced Algebra test papers not that we don’t think Mr. Davison's interview was a success Alas, Alack When Margarethe saw some cake Her conscience said, Don't buy it!” But lack o' day she raid no heed, And now she's on a diet!
