PROLOGUE EMEMBERPH Upon looking over the ,42 Owl at some future date, this word will be heard many times by some of those who want to re-live high school days. The story begins in far-off 1930 when 158 youngsters from different towns and cities trotted off to the three kindergartens. The West End Journal, the Atlantic Avenue News, and the Marionette, gave each pupil a chance to show his or her news writing ability. Each issue of the papers found the copy rooms full of poems, stories, and jokes, contributed by this ambitious group, the result was seven or eight I 2 3 4 S 6 7 8 9 IO II ll I3 I4 If 16 1. Perry 6.

PROLOGUE pages, fully illustrated editions of three of the Finest little papers in the history of the schools. Dramatic ability was proven when future Judith Andersons and Maurice Evanses got upon the plat- forms of their schools and competed in amateur productions. This took extreme poise, concentra- tion, and oomph, all of which the grammar school class of ,38 had. Innocent cherubs finally became worldly eighth graders. Two sets of ofiicers were elected, one from the West End class and one from the Atlantic Avenue class, which included pupils of Marion Street.

Atlantic Avenue's graduation program was in the form of a radio broadcast over station L. G. S. His- tory prizes were awarded to Warren Stumpe, Eileen McCord, Frances Tenney, Richard Levy, Albert Selling, and Robert Allin. Awards for general scholarship were presented to Warren Stumpe and Marilyn Poth. fSounds familiar, doesn't it?j A musical program was presented by West End, which enabled the group to display their artistic talents, this included squeaky violin solos, shaky trumpet numbers, and quivery glee club selections. Selma Lapin and James Hogeboom were recipients of history medals. Then, as in a dream, Lynbrook High School loomed ahead, and for the first time the class was united as one group. Following came those first few weeks of initiation when the Frosh lived up to one of their school colors-green, but never yellow. The class
