'tv . e so ' ,I 1-, l every available means by which we could bolster our sorely neglected egos. Nlany wore borrowed senior hats so we could stall: proudly up and down the famed marble senior staircase. And in the caleteria we surrounded the senior tables, glancing longingly at those coveted places. Vve were grateful, then, that we had school to occupy our time. Several ol the girls were brave enough to try and usurp AI Vvienerys position as the class Ubad boy.H Sue Cylinder and Roberta Schiff began playing tic-tac-toe in Spanish class, until one day the irate Mrs. Keyes ordered them both to lace Mr. Pred in the language office. And Mr. Nlanheimer was the mean faculty member who invited Nlargaret Hertzig to leave math class until she could control herselif, But Margie fooled him, she stayed out all period! At last the day arrived for which we had waited so long, the day we entered the sacred portals ot our Alma Mater as eighth termers i- full Hedged, titled, and, most important, visible seniors. Vve sported senior hats at every ralcish angle, and peered out of the corners of our eyes to malce sure we were duly admired. But this newly acquired pride and conceit passed quiclcly. Much to our dismay we saw school continuing as usual, and realized, with a bit of grumbling, that we, too, would have to settle down. Vvhat a hectic term that wasl ln addition to the regular academic curriculum, we were constantly lcept busy raising money for senior dues and jewelry, filling out college applications, discussing job possibilities with Mrs. De Farkas, running to the photog- rapher for yearbook pictures, and straightening out various program difficulties. Nlany of us were assuming responsibilities in school. Vvith extra-curricular activ- ities resumed at last, Nat Soifer and lxflargaret Hertzig were elected to the managing board of the Beacon, Phil Gray was editor of the Forester, and lwlarcia Alper and Dick Mayer became the leaders of Arista. Remember the buzz of excitement that circulated throughout the school when senior averages were announced, and we discovered that Dick had attained the highest average ever achieved by a Forest Hills senior? 98.11,-that was really staggeringl The final dramatic production we were able to see was a splendid presentation of The Barretts of Wimpole Street, the love story of Elizabeth and Robert Browning. A Hurry of excitement was caused by a small fire in Mrs. lVlcQuade,s car, and Mr. Vvilson put on a fine display of Southern chivalry when he rushed to the chem lab and struggled furiously with a stubborn fire extinguisher. Thanlcs to him, a major catastrophe was averted. And so passed Senior Day, with the usual array of clever costumes and Conga lines. Only this time we were the uninhibited participants, instead of envious onlook- ers. Many of the boys will remember Mr. Wilson for his active participation. He insisted on depriving some of our mature and sophisticated friends of their trusty Water pistols, only to malce use of them on inattentive members of his classes! We couldnyt feel too gay, however, when regents weelc rolled around. This was the final challenge and we were determined to meet it successfully. As we donned our caps and gowns for graduation, the worries of marlcs and exams were forgotten. Vve rejoiced in the completion of our high school careers, but we couldnyt escape the feeling of sadness that tugged at our hearts. Former teachers and classmates were viewed through tear-filled eyes, and we lcnew that thoughts of yesteryear, of days at Forest Hills would live forever in our hearts.
