THE HOUR GLASS in the auditorium at which the Sophomores were victorious. Dancing followed in the gymnasium which was artistically decorated with our Class colors, blue and white. Cake, candy, ice cream and soft drinks were on sale. To conclude, the Junior Prom was presented, at which music was furnished by the Geneseans. Finally the Senior room opened to us and at a meeting Doris Fellows was selected as President, Francis Fitzgerald, Vice-President, Doris Steffen, Secretary, Ruth Donk, Treasurer, Miss Swartzenburg and Mr. Lynch, advisers. The greatest disappointment was the postponement of the VVashington trip brought about by unsatisfactory business con- ditions. However, there is the promise of a journey at the close ofthe school year. The first enterprise undertaken was a magazine campaign led by Virginia Bacon and Thomas Bridges. Cn November twenty-first a Harvest Dance was given with music by Mel Clement. This proved very successful. Cards were sold during the Christmas season, but enthusiasm was lacking. Cn December twenty-seventh the yearly Senior Ball took place. Ray Bishop and His Thousand Island Yacht Club Orchestra supplied the dancing strains. On April sixth the Senior Play, H Dulcy, was produced. The char- acters were: Dulcy, Arlene Coryell, Gordon Smith, her husband, La- Verne Coffee, Bill Parker, Allan Sullivan, Mr. Forbes, Oscar Guelieh, Mrs. Forbes, Ina Aldrich, Angela Forbes, Marjorie Brown, Vincent Leach, Thomas Bridges, Tom Sterrett, Leo Clifford, Schuyler Van Dyck, Jacque Wilsolig Blair Patterson, Ralph Quinlan, Henry, Arthur Hurlburt. It was under the direction of Miss Teller and M1'. Lynch. New talent was discovered. Activities were concluded with a party held early in the spring where a delightful evening was spent. As we say adieu to our Alma Mater each and every Senior expresses his wish that all who follow may enjoy as many pleasant, experiences as we have. -TVinifred Dinsmore Young Persons, on account of their Passion for various amusements, are less easily reconciled to Solitude than persons in more advanced life. -La Bruyere Page Twenty-nine

THE HOUR GLASS History of the Class of ,33 VV EI VF shoit S eais ago on a icy ous September morn the ma 'gi jority of tl1e Class commenced their education. lVhat pleasant years they were! However, it was not long before tl1e semi- annual regents' papers stared us in tl1e eye and We were ready for graduation from tl1e eighth grade. That sultry June night will be a lasting memory to us wl1o stood before our friends o11 a beautifully decorated stage receiving our diplomas which were the keys to high school. ' Wlell do we remember assembling in the Freshman study hall in 1929 where Miss Deliand, our Principal, instructed us in our duties and helped to draw up our schedules. During this year, a large number of the pupils managed to rank high on the honor roll as they have con- tinued to do. In April the Junior Fair was held, at wl1icl1 we are proud to say the Freshmen carried off the banner with a clever skit of Boots and Her Buddies. Dooley Young will be remembered as tl1e vivacious Boots and Maizie Monteith as Babe On Class Day as the result of a banking contest in which the boys were victorious, a. picnic was held in the orchard of Jol1n Summers' home along the canal. Thus passed a successful Freshman year. The next two semesters were spent under the guidance of Mrs. Ryon i11 the Sophomore study hall. This year proved as favorable as tl1e former, but never shall we forget the number of papers we picked up from tl1at floor. Early in our J unior year we became an organized group. Officers were elected as follows: Allan Sullivan, Presidentg Virginia Bacon, Vice-Presidentg George Gould, Secretaryg Ruth Donk, Treasurerg Miss Jessup and Mr. Mcllllilliams, Advisers. On December third our Junior rings arrived and tl1e following Tues- day they were proudly displayed at a party. Music was furnished by the Little New Yorkers. Early i11 the spring the annual magazine campaign was held. Doris Fellows and George Case were Cl1OSG1l tl1e leaders of tl1e Army Mulesw and Ruth Donk and Ralph Quinlan of the Navy Goatsf' The Army was victorious and was given a party by the Navy, which again proved enjoyable. J On May twentieth the Junior Fair was held. Stunts were presented Page Twenty-eight

THE HOU-R' GLASS Class Prophecy In the Light of 1948 HERE have been, as always, a few brilliant successes, a few failures, and a great deal of mediocrity from our Class of 1933. Paul Page, a 'word-slinger from the International Herald, removed his pipe from his mouth and tapped me emphatically on the knee. And mark my words, he continued-, his intellectual countenance aglow with 32? enthusiasm, f'I have never met with so many complete surprises as I did on this trip around the world.' ' I poured another glass of sasparilla. Tell me, I said, interested as always at any news of my old associates, what are they all doing now? Our worthy compatriot, just returned from a six-month tour investi- gating the world-wide shortage of earth worms, rambled on as follows: HI arrived in New York, preparatory to my journey, on the twenty- first of August. Here, as was my policy throughout the trip, I looked up all acquaintances and found many well and happy. Particularly I remember my interview with Georges Case. Because of his 'keen insight into the minds of the nation, he had recently been appointed humor editor of the 'Ballyhooi I called on him. Carefree as ever, I should have known him in aninstant.. He directed me to a few of his old friends. Viola Fredericks I found in the Cld Manse Night Club, acting as hostess. While I was there, ,she danced for me. Pavlowa herself could not have been more divine. Julia Sturdevant, her chief assistant, was also super- visor of cooks, planning each elegant meal in its entirety. And the head chorus girl was Maizie Monteith, binder of hearts. My hotel in New York was the Swanklofty. I chose this because Gordon Maine, the silver-tongued tenor of the ,radio world, is maitre d'hotel. Do you remember how sulolimely he did ,those high notes in the quartet? And was I fortunate- The B. B. wedding was held there while I lingered-you recall-Brown and Bridges. That couple has suffered more setbacks. The young surgeon killed his first three patients until he got onto his knives and Marjorie, poor dear, just went from one job to another. But the nuptials was sa beautiful affair. Marjorie was dressed in green andfgold, her colors, and her bridesmaids in Tyrian purple. They were Virginia Bacon, the young couturiere, Betty Mabry, the girl violinist, Helene Myers, a patronfof modern art and herself an artist. And the best man was good old Bob Schermerhorn, doing a won- Page Thirty A
