PROLOGUE was led by red-headed Bill Rescorl, George Keenan, and Elinor Wahlstrom. The next year found them as grown up Sopho- mores led by Jack Cuff, Warren Stumpe, and Elinor Wahlstrom. Seeking to obliterate the previous year's Class Nite defeat, which incidentally was the first downfall they had suffered, the Sophs turned in a moral victory by taking second place in a hard- fought battle. Now we're upper classmenlu echoed through the halls when the haughty Juniors came back to school in September. The year started off with the Junior Pigskin Prom, which a record crowd of loo couples attended. COur little kindergarteners had learned to dancelj On Friday, December 13, the Juniors scored an- other triumph when they staged One Mad Nightf' No one will ever forget the nervousness he or she possessed when Jimmy Hogeboom nearly dropped his deadly invention, or the look on Burton Batt's face when he turned the gun upside down. Class Nite aroused the Juniors to a pitch of ex- citement when they won the quiz program, posters, and girls' volleyball. All this kept them out in front until the Seniors defeated them by one paltry point in girls' basketball. When the scores were tabulated, the Juniors took second place with a difference of 102 points. Ofhcers heading the class were Warren Stumpe, Eddie Fisher, and El Wahlstrom, again. The next fall, the former kindergarten intelli- gentsia were sophisticated Seniors approaching graduation. Soon they realized they would no longer be students, but must take their places as alumni with only intangible memories of school life. In order to assist them in their reminiscences of the grand finale-Senior Year-this yearbook was writ- ten.

Dramatic ability was proven when future Judith Andersons and Maurice Evanses got upon the plat- forms of their schools and competed in amateur productions.

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. The West End officers were George Fournier, Fran Andrews, Patricia Doherty, and Jack Carroll. The Atlantic Avenue officers were Eddie Fisher, who, after much agitation on the part of his class- mates, finally decided to wear long trousers to gradu- ation, Ebba Duffy, and Elinor Wahlstrom. June 27, 1938 soon rolled around and on that day both classes graduated from their respective schools much to the sorrow of their former teachers. 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.
