Qllswa Qiatnrg Before we, the n1e111bers of the class of June 1933, make our final de- parture from these great walls of learning, let us recall so111e of those happy times which we all have enjoyed together. lvhen we first assembled as a class, we were introduced to our loving and admirable dean who has worked so willingly and enthusiastically with us ever since. Of course, the dean couldn,t possibly do all the work by herselfg so the class obliged her by electing class officers and an executive committee who have tried their hardest to direct the affairs of such an enormous, illustrious class. Then, you remember, we held our Freshman Party where many ac- quaintances among class members originated. Our only other money-making scheme in our Sophomore year was a successful dance. At the beginning of our Junior year, we looked about and found half of our number missing. Yes, of course, the new high school was completed. Then we had to remain in school all day instead of half a day. Nevertheless, our Junior year held in store for us two thrilling and important events. The first was our glorious Junior Prom. This was a grand success, both financially and socially. Uvhat more could one ask for?j The other was the customary daisy chain. A group of thirty girls crowded into three cars the Saturday morning before commencement. Each member carried a picnic lunch, and set out to find a field white with daisies. This they found and immediately started picking. How industriou-sly those girls did work! QDon't you think that the girls always do the most of the work anywayi'j The best and most important year now faced us4our Senior year. The first half of this year we put over one successful dance. There were so many happenings during the second half, I hardly know where to begin. VVe were an ambitious group-always striving to raise money. VVe began by having two dances. Before I continue, I should like to mention the fact that we have in our class one famous musician and orchestra leader. He conducts one of the nicest little orchestras you would ever care to hear and is familiar to all of us. Next in order is the presentation of ffRollo's VVild Oat Cclass playj. You see, we had so much talent in our class that we had to have a double cast for some of the parts. The people who took any part at all in this successful production deserve much credit for their untiring efforts. The treasure of all times now makes its appearancegthe long-awaited year book entitled The Terracian. Ten years from now you may take it from out of its hiding place and it will bring to mind many happy times and many forgotten friends. Two more never-to-be-forgotten days await usfgraduation and the grand finale, the Senior Ball, where we shall dance away together for the last time. IJITCILLE MITRDOCK. 30

Gilman lgrnphvrg It was a happy day for me but also a sad one. The class which I had watched over for three years was ending its existence as a class and its mem-- bers were about to go their separate ways. As they went forward one by one to receive their diplomas, I wondered whether they were thinking, as I was, of the future. Even as I watched, the figure of Mr. Pillsbury faded and in his place stood a black-robed, white-bearded old man. The diploma in his hand had miraculously become a glistening magic wand. I thought I saw his lips move saying I am Merlin, the great Magician. I have come to give you for a moment a glimpse of these graduates as they will be twenty years hence. He raised his wand and to my surprise there appeared the dimpled umost charming actress of the screen today'if-'Phyllis Anderson. She was gowned in a creation of the eouteriere BI. Burns, the famous designer in America and Europe. Just then the hero of the picture came striding in, and I recognized him as none other than Bob Potter. He had gone from class play fame to the en- viable position of idol of the feminine world. Not less famous were the lights of the Shakespearian drama Peggy Delaney, Mary Kulakowski, Emory Spen- cer, Bernard Kearney, and IYilliam Boyd who recently had made a successful movie of 'tMacbeth.,, The character parts in all the great. pictures of the day were being well played by Emmet U'Brien. The halls of government at tVashington contained several members of the class of ,33, N. T. H. S., and by their influence, politics were on a IllllCll high- er plane than twenty years ago. The widely known reform bills of Senator Elder were fast helping the country to pull out of the worst depression since 1933, and he was beginning to be mentioned as a possible presidential candi- date. I watched Representative Iiisenberg carrying on a successful IO day filibuster before glimpsing Secretary of State Cree, an autho1'ity on interna- tional relations, who had just returned from Switzerland where he had acted as advisor to a world-wide conference. The I'nited States delegate, Ivilliam Leonard, was showing the foreign nations :h1llCl'iC?l,S stand on the disarmament question. The honor of the judiciary was being upheld by Judge Fotheringham, who was trying not to yield to the pleading of that pretty iVIiss Brearton who had been speeding up and down l'lum Street so often lately. lIy glimpse into a skyscraper window in New York revealed Harold Friedman and Joseph Field in private conference with their feet on the desk. They had not changed much: even what they were saying had a familiar ring. I tell you, Joe, this depression is terrible. That one in 1933 was a picnic compared with this. YVhy, itis an event if anybody buys a musical dishpan nowadaysf, 32
