Class History And the distant years shall answer When'er duty calls With the knowledge that we're gaining From her dear old halls. Lord Chesterfield once said, History is only a confused jumble of facts. Our confused jumble of facts began to be assembled in September, 1922. That was the term when segregation went into effect, so that after one month of blissful co-education, the girls, having bid their boy friends fond adieu, were told to report in the afternoon. What revenge we plotted upon the Board of Education! Paterson Girls' High 'School in the next three years became a very busy place. The Criterion, the school magazine, sprang into existence. New traditions were formed. New societies arose. A well organized and efficient Student Council was established. During the same period of readjustment, athletics were not neglected. The name of Paterson Girls' High became well known throughout our state. Meanwhile, the boys became vague figures fading into the dim past. UQ . But they, in their sphere, were far from idle. They established a General Organization and a fine orchestra. Their monthly publication, the Spectator, was excellent-we will make no comparisons. In athletics they made remarkable progress. As to their sister students, memory of them had faded. QFD What was our surprise when near the end of our 3-2 term the astounding news that once more co-education was to go into effect was announced. It was astonishing how unpopular that once desired news was. Finally, after a summer of pleasure, our 4-1 term arrived. Every thing seemed so strange with co-education in existence, that even the fact that we were high and mighty seniors faded into the background. The most important occur- rence of the term for us was the election, in which we made our Ivan class president. We also had a great part in the re-establishment of our school societies. Then we entered our beautiful new home-Eastside High for our last term. When the question of the management of the lunch room arose, the Seniors im- mediately stepped into the vacancy. They also assumed management of the study hall and carried out their work remarkably well. We have now finished our four allotted years. It is with an infinite feeling or regret that we, the first class to have attended and graduated from Eastside High, leave its dear halls. VVith the alumni we repeat: Not on brazen columns lofty Nor on graven stone, But in hearts of sons and daughters Shall her work be shown. SELMA LIEBLICH. 62
