OL emori At the crack of dawn on April 21st, the seniors boarded the Long Island train, destination, Washington. The ride into New York left many sore muscles which were happily ironed out in the Pennsyl- vania coaches. As soon as we arrived in Washington we started our tour. First stop was the Capitol and, after a short walk, the Su- preme Court and Congressional Library. We then checked in at the Martinique Ho- tel, our home for four days. Reveille at seven-thirty each morning was a shock for most of us, but free evenings more than compensated for this. Thursday we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving; unfortunately, they didn’t give out samples. In the after- noon it was the U. S. Naval Academy. Here we almost lost some of our girls. Friday we went to the Washington Monument. A few of our more daring ones walked to the top; the rest stood below with waiting stretchers. Many amazing and thrilling sights greeted our eyes at the Smithsonian Institute. Visits were al- so made to Arlington and Mount Vernon. Reluctant leave was taken on Satur- day, but many glowing memories of our unforgettable days will long remain. Seated: D. Ruther, S. Green, M. Kiski, V. Unander, R. Preston.

Further observation would re- veal other club members doing various oth- er tasks under the direction of Miss Orr. Indeed, for their hard work, the Junior and Senior Library Clubs deserve a “well done” from the students of G.H.S. Seated: J. Dawson, P. Bcrdinka, J. Townsend, D. Val lrly, K. rechan, S. Appclt.

Hanff. denior The class of 1954 rang up the curtain on a play that will long remain in the memories of those who attended. The play, directed by “Cecil B.” Carruthers, was called “Hobgoblin House.” It startled the audience with its screaming skulls, hang- ing heads and blood-curdling murder stories. There was a strange array of charac- ters portrayed in the play, ranging from a sinister old Darius Krupp, played by Bob Lamb, to the frightened, fumbling serv- ants, Henry, Delilah and Susan, played by Bill Harrison, Camilla Martocchia and Marge Klipp. Then there was the old maid, Aunt Priscilla, played by Greta Hanff, and the skillfully portrayed sup- porting characters: Jack, Bob Corazzini; Jill, Pat Droskoski; Frank, Dick Preston; Marian, Marge Kiski; Bluebeard Bronson, Tom Breese; Bill Wilkins, Ross Norklun and Patricia, Vida Unander. The few hours before the play were spent in applying and perfecting makeup under the direction of Mrs. Douglas Rob- ertson, and in trying to appear nonchalant and at ease before curtain time. When the long anticipated moment arrived, a most meritorious performance was given by our Thespians. As in the past, the entire class partici- pated in producing the play, but in par- ticular, much credit is due the “special ef- fects” men Frank Swiskey, Lawrence Grat- tan, Paul Wasilewski, Peter Reyes, and Frank Shipman for an outstanding piece of back stage work.
