ROGERS, we, the February class of l944, express our sincere appreciation for the guidance which you have so unseliishly given us during our three years together. You have been a wonderful adviser, an unerring leader, and a loyal friend. By your skillful steering, we have at last docked in the harbor of graduation safely in spite of several encounters with stormy weather on our voyage. Thank you for niaking our days at Patterson pleasant and memorable, days worth cherishing. ,-'egvffgf fy-njivigw' aq1'1'w1 4,:7rj.:,u -sq,-zvgfwf ,qwfgf H Appreciation and thanks are always hard to express in words because no matter how sincere one tries to be, the words invariably seem cold and empty. And so we, the class of Iune '44, find it diflicult to thank Miss HARRIET VERNON, our adviser. We have seen the sea calm and peaceful, and we have seen it so turbulent and stormy that it threatened the safe docking of our ship. Through it all, Miss Vernon has been at the helm, charting our course and steering us through. For her guiding spirit and sympathetic understanding, we are truly grateful.

VVC raised on that day alone SZ,832.50. During the Third VVar Loan, in order to stimulate business, the United States Government lent us a jeep so that those students making outstanding purchases might have their pictures taken in it. The idea was well-liked, not only did we reach our goal, but we went well over it, leading all other Baltimore high schools by Sl4,000. Sam Aleck of l2AVl contributed a drawing of a P-Sl Mustang Pursuit Plane for the Fourth VVar Loan drive. The drawing was divided into 15 blocks. VVhenever we put 355,000 in Hshares of freedom, a section of the plane was revealed. Finally the plane was completely uncovered more than a Week before the end of the drive. Students grouped around a set of posters in the cafeteria during the month of February were seeing to it that they had a seat in the auditorium. Explanation: VVe had posters with blocks drawn on them representing each seat in the auditorium. VVith the purchase of each bond, a student was given a small sticker. On this he wrote his name and class and placed it on the poster. The auditorium was Hlled so quickly that we soon had Hstanding room onlyf' Behind these outstanding achievements lies the work of our school's Stamp and Bond Repre- sentatives. These students are found in each homeroom before the 9:30 bell rings, busily collecting money and distributing war bonds and stamps. lt has been their job to see that the Treasury Flag is not lowered until the Great Day. True, we lost the right to display the flag this lanuary, but each representative has vowed to do his utmost to prevent a similar occurrence. XVe know we can depend on this group. 54 Army Air Corps Enlisted Reserve Eager to follow Pattersonites who are in the armed forces, these boys who have reached their seventeenth, but not their eighteenth birthdays, enlisted in the Army Air Corps Reserve. 'l'he boys were first required to have the written consent of their parents and then three letters of recomniendation from reliable sources. A mental examination followed which determined their aptitude and suitability for air crew training. Having been trained in aeronauties and mechanics, our boys passed the test with high averages. After they passed the mental tests, they had to meet strict physical requirements. Finally, in our school auditorium, on November 19, 1943, these young men took the solemn oath which made them members of the Army Air Corps Enlisted Reserve. VVe are proud of the interest that these boys have taken in the war effort, and we are sure that they will uphold the high standards of the Corps.

Rogers, the major, William Moreland, and two adjutants, Charles Novak and Mary Menas, has as its assignment the administrative work of the Victory Corps. i History of the Victory Corps Wlieri the national government sent out the notice that Victory Corps Units were to be organized in all senior high schools throughout the nation, Patterson accepted the order and immediately put into motion the necessary plans to meet the requirements for membership. Acting as charter members, the girls of the Service Club and the boys of the Varsity Club met to ascertain their personal qualifications and were oflicially sworn in as our first members. Soon afterwards, membership was opened to the eleventh and twelfth grades, and over one hundred seventy-tive boys and girls took up the challenge to help win the war through part-time employ- ment, preparation for active service in the armed forces or for service on the home front. Quick to answer the call wherever most nccded, approximately thirty-live girls, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Lambert, hastened to instruction at the Telephone Company for active service on the lincs of communication. Others went to the VVestcrn Union ollicc for similar service. From our com- mercial classes went a group to lill in where vacancies were hindering production through lack of clerical help in offices throughout the city. In reply to a call for help from the nearby hospitals, twenty-Hve girls, under the sponsorship of Dr. Speer, entered the hospitals as nurses' aides, giving as much as twenty hours of duty per Week. Still another group, under the guidance of Miss Perkins, completed the Red Cross dietitian course so they might serve in the diet kitchen of the hospital. Here at school classes in acronauties, mechanical drawing and blueprint reading, meteorology, and advanced mathematics found their place on our pre-school and after-school program. Boys Were coached in naval fundamentals and army pre-induction requirements. All of these and many 56 THE MAIOR AND HIS STAFF Mzijor ......... ............ ...............................,.................,....................,...

Vernon Hill, Edward Shanklin The duties of this staff are to keep records of attendance, to issue orders of the day, and to rnete out demerits for failure to comply with orders. -f 2 090 W more were the opportunities offered to the members of the corps. Not forgotten were our boys in the service. To fill their requests for news from school, the Office Squad, under the leadership of Miss Coard, edited and mailed to them once a month, a news-letter filled with school news. So great was the success of this little pamphlet that the boys wrote back pages of praise, and its fame soon became nation wide. When we opened school in September, we found our Victory Corps plans had been changed. No longer was credit to be given for anything but voluntary service, and two hours of service per week were required for membership. New units were formed. Military training for both boys and girls was offered under the supervision of members of the Maryland State Guard. Training in Sea Scout work was introduced under sponsorship of the Patapsco River Squadron. A new division for Red Cross service was opened under the supervision of Mrs. Dean. New sponsors for the Air Service division and the Nurses' Aides were obtained through the kindness of Mr. Burkert and Miss Silber. Promotion according to hours of service became the order of the day, and every effort has been made to make the Victory Corps program not only interesting but extremely educational and benc- fieial to both the students and the coinmunitv which it serves. No praise is too great to bestow upon the faculty members and the students who have worked so unccasingly to make this war- time activity a success. 57 iliiafy Aeriviaec LIEUTENANT COLONEL FOSTER B.

The corps will play for the outdoor review of the Iunior Service Corps in May. ln order that the students of the junior high school classes might help in the War effort, the junior Service Corps was organized in December, l943. This is a national organization for youth groups who offer conununity and war service, and it is affiliated with the federal government. With Mrs. Sehwarzniann as director, the Corps was divided into nine units. Each unit has a particular duty, and the students cooperate in fulfilling them. The ten units are: l. Advertising-Kliss Lciken 6. Nursery Aides-Mrs. Rlcssner 2, Canteen-Mrs. O'l3rien T. Salvage-Miss lf. O'Donnell 3. Community Collectors-Mrs. Koclunan S. Special Service and Records-Mrs. Koclnuan 4.

Taylor 64 THE IUNIOR NURSERY AIDES At the Salvation Army nursery, the Nursery Aides are caring for children vvhose parents are working. They are learning a great deal about the entertainment and training of young children. The members of the Iunior Service Corps have been busily collecting materials, such as news- papers, magazines, and waste fats, which are vital to our winning the war. The money obtained from the sale of these materials is contributed to the school fund. In this vvay, the Corps is of service both to our school and our country. ln several Baltimore hospitals, girls of the Junior Service Corps are helping in the dict kitchens, and the boys are assisting in the pharmacies. The Corps has also undertaken the task of keeping servicemen yvell supplied with cookies. playing cards. and other forms of amusement. During the junior high school activity periods, the Corps assembles for military drill which is commanded by Captains Vernon llill and Edward Shanklin. This is the one time that all the members meet as a unit. The Iunior Service Corps has proved to be a most valuable organization. YVC are proud of the tireless effort which the members are putting forth in ordcr to speed the Victory. 65 MORIA W v 4 U NORMAN L.

He went to school there until he received his high school diploma. VV hen he was graduated from the University of Maryland in 1912, heiwas selected valedictorian of his class. He began teaching at Newport News High School in Virginia where he became principal at the age of twenty-three. Mr. Clark came to Baltimore in 1918 to teach at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. There his executive ability was soon recognized, and in 1922 he was appointed as its vice-principal, a position he held for four years. In 1924 he received his Master's Degree from the University of Pennsylvania and became principal of Clifton Park Iunior High School. Ten years later, he came to us as principal of Patterson Park High School. Here, he worked to make Patterson a fine senior high school with high standards of scholarship and character. He encouraged outside activities and started many of the organizations that exist in the school today. He was interested in students and their work and always encour- aged them to take every opportunity to further their education. His two mottoes, which he continually held before the students, best characterize him: We're in business for scholarship, and L'W'hen Patterson does a thing, it is done rightf, The Memorial At the time of Mr. Clarlc's death, both the teachers and students felt that there should be a memorial in his honor, something that would remain permanently in Patterson. The committee that was formed found that a portrait was desired by most. The artist, Mr. Henry L. Roben, was selected to paint the portrait which was unveiled at a special ceremony on Tuesday, November 30 and which now hangs in the main hall of our building. 69 LUBS AND SPGRTS Lg 4 P 'XJQ3 J N 'IS , Q TIIE ORCIIESTRA The orchestra, under the direc- tion of Miss Cvrolock, practices everv 'llhursdav at 3:15, rain, snovv, or shine.

Previous to this, some clubs had given individual letters symbolizing the work of the club, while other clubs received no recognition at all. Students had been receiving several letters a year for which they felt little honor or pride. However, under this new system, all the clubs have been organized under the Board of Student Activities which is headed by three teachers and three students who work together for the interest and welfare of all the non-athletic activities of the school. Now, to obtain a Senior letter, a student must have two hundred points which are a total of the credits he receives from all the clubs in which he participates. Each club has been allotted a maximum mnnber of points for which a member may work, each hour of actual participation in the activity representing one point. Each club sponsor or secretary keeps a record of the points the members deserve and submits this record to the Board of Student Activities. A careful tile is kept of all points, and when any student's hours of service total two hundred, he is awarded a letter. In this way, every letter represents actual cooperation and service by the student. It is an award of merit which everyone is proud to own and wear. This eight-inch blue UP on a white background symbolizes the high standards of Patterson. ln February '44 the first thirty-six of these letters were awarded. Below is the list of students who received them.

Todav, the day for which we worked so hard, that great day climaxing our splendid journey through Patter- son, rs come. Yesterday, we were but high school students, today-graduates of the Patterson Park High School, able, willing, but perhaps somewhat afraid to face the future. These last fleeting years at Patterson have given us a necessary background, we are certainly familiar with, and some of us perhaps masters of the rudirnents of the high school. Yet, we are afraid, as a small child is afraid of the dark. Today we are afraid of the novelty of independence, tomorrow we will be masters of our independence. VV e will be confident of the success that the future holds for us. During these years we have built our ships, some sturdier than others perhaps, brit all capable of weathering the stormy seas and gales of this, a new venture in life. The ships have been built. We are now ready to plot our course and chart our own voyage. Our embarlcation is made on angry, sanguine seas, seas colored and deepened with the blood of men and women fighting for their individual philosophies of life. We, too, are anxious to make our sacrifices. Some of our number have entered orwill enter the armed forces of the United States. There, the ablest have volunteered their lives for the safe future of our people, our country, and our world. They choose to work toward the day of ultimate victory, when they may return home and chart a new course in a world of peace, happiness, and brotherhood among all men. Others have chosen to go on to institutions of higher learning where they may learn to do their best for a nation at peace. A portion of their greater education is provided at the expense of the American citizenry. We must remember and recognize that this education is potential power, for the post war world will demand educated advisers. Today the fittest are fighting to thwart the efforts of the enemy, and later the educated men and women will provide for a just, durable, and lasting peace. A majority of our young men and women will step from the carefree life of a student to the more responsible life of an employee. Many will take their places in the commercial world. Others with technical training will operate the complex machinery of our throbbing war plants. And many will fill their places in the world of commerce and industry. As we have charted our respective courses, there are two things of primary importance which we must always consider. Each of us must recognize and accept his responsibilities as a believer in God and a citizen of the United States. As a member of a Christian nation, regardless of our faith, each of us owes to the armed forces his prayers for their speedy and safe return. Each one owes to the leaders of our country prayers that they might guide us wisely and justly. Each of us owes to the people of the entire world our prayers for the successful conclusion of the war, when the aggressor will lay down his arms, concede the United Nations victory, and adopt a peaceful way of life. As a citizen of the United States we enjoy many privileges. We must not forget that this citizenship means certain obligations of us as well. It is our privilege to support the government through the taxation program. It is also our privilege to elect our own leaders. We will go to the polls to vote at our every opportunity, our votes will be respresentative of our own personal con- victions. Indeed, we are fortunate to pay taxes, to vote, to express our opinions, and to enjoy our many freedoms. That is why we are fighting today. V Our day of embarkation is at hand. We have charted our courses. We are capable, confident, and ready to begin this voyage through life. We no longer fear the dark, the future is our challenge, it is ours to conquer. We will meet the challenge, and provide for a better world in which those of the future will prosper. HOWARD MILLER 90 We alute Our Boys To those of us who have completed our course has come the great realization of the sacrifice our fellow classmates were forced to make when ordered from the classroom to answer the call to service. At the time of parting, our realization was somewhat dimmed by the importance of sending them on their way with pleasant memories, but today the glamor has disappeared, and we stand face to face with the same problem. It is true that we have been favored by Fate and permitted to secure our diplomas before we embarked upon this duty, but we now feel the obliga- tion to be doubly ours. Moreover, we realize that it was the great sacrifice they made that has permitted us to have this special privilege of continuing. One of our most consoling thoughts today is the realization that even though somewhat unprepared, they have made good. The appearance of stripes of promotion in rank upon the uniform of these, our fellow-students, fills our hearts with a glow of pride, and we are grateful to have known and worked beside such boys or men as these. Unfortunately, war is a young man's problem. lt is he who must relinquish his dreams and plans for the future, to take up arms against a foe for whom he has no personal dislike or grievance to settle. Yet-thus it is, and we who have remained at home until now are just beginning to sense the vastness of this job we too have been assigned to do. How well we will do it remains unknown. However, we are certain that if we follow in the footsteps of these, our predecessors, we need not fear, for they have proved that lessons learned at Patterson will carry us safely on our way. To those of you who remain at school, we send the hope that you will seize each opportunity as it presents itself, and that when your summons comes, you too will fall into line behind the boys whom we honor today and render service wherever called. Thus do we salute our boys in the service, and extend to them our deepest appreciation for the sacrifice they have made. We sincerely hope that the day is near when they will be permitted to complete their educational training for the coveted diploma which we now so proudly possess. So, until Victory, we salute them. FEBRUARY CLASS OF 1944 Last and Testament of the February Class of 1944 Four short and trying years ago we stood on the threshold of dear old Patterson, brave and valiant freshmen ready to iight and die for our Alma Mater. Now we stand once more upon this threshold-facing Ellwood Avenue-weary, exhausted seniors. The ambitious look which lighted our faces then is gone, wiped off by four years of the hardest, most gruelling labor. We don't even know the meaning of pep and energy any more. Yes, in so short a time we have acquired innu- merable bruises from gymnastics, perpetual bags under our eyes from over-liberality of work, and palpitating hearts from scaling the heights to our penthouse cafeteria. Amidst our trials and tribu- lations we have somehow managed to find time for fun and have also found many things which we would like very much to leave behind us. We gladly relinquish any claim to them. To the Seniors, we leave the headaches connected with the yearbook, class day, commence- ment, and the biggest of all, finding a man to take to the prom. To the Iuniors, we leave the dubious pleasure of knowing that they haven't finished with .those achievements tests, not by a long shot. To the Sophomores, we leave the satisfaction of knowing that they have at last found all of the exits of Patterson. To the Freshmen, we leave the great happiness and innocence of not quite knowing or under- standing what is really in store for them. To Miss Vernon, we leave a megaphone so that she can be heard even in the farthest corners of her room. 91 'Nu r To Mr. Medinger, we leave the hope thatswivel chairs may soon be installed in his room, so that his travels around his classroom may be easily followed by his students. To Miss Grolock, we leave a wish that the next graduating class will have an equal number of sopranos and altos and that they will cheerfully accept their commencement songs at the first hearing. To Miss Benson, we leave a case in which to keep those principles. Due to priorities we were unable to find a combination lock-object, to lock the case and throw away the combination. To Miss Liebmann, we leave the hope that she will have a class of girls who will be thin enough to crawl through the ladder without any mishaps. To Mrs. Rogers, we leave the comforting thought that now her closet and filing cabinet will be minus the million and one things we managed to sneak into them. To Mrs. Kaplan, we leave the hope that she will End a cheerful person who will gladly accept the extra copies of the press to sell during lunch period. To Mrs. Baldwin, we leave her old slogan, You will not get through on your good looks and winning ways. Scholarship comes first of all. To Mr. Mainen, we leave the disappointing fact that he will never see a successful lawyer among us. We never could understand why our decisions were always different from those in the textbook. To Miss Pine, we leave the hope that the students will not discover all of the decent type- writers in the typing rooms and will leave just one for her very own use. To Miss Hufnagel, we leave the disappointment of having to admit that there are very few Iudith Andersons in this graduating class. To Miss Paciarelli, we leave the pleasure of knowing that Spanish is going to come in handy to those boys stationed in Latin American countries. We'd like to know whether that's good or bad. To Mr. Mueller, we leave the ropes, mats, horse, and all other instruments of torture so that he may use them with other unsuspecting classes. To Miss Poteet, we leave the knowledge that one of the best artists in our class was snatched by the Army before he even got to her. Things like that are happening every day. To Miss Lohrfink, we leave the sincere wish that she may yet get aclass that will do its work exactly the way she wants it done and that will be made up of members who will answer immedi- ately when called on. To Miss Coard, we leave our thanks for her patience in helping us with those 60 word tests. They were the hardest. To Miss Sharp, we leave the wish that her l2A class will always be as quiet as ours was this year. To Miss Brusowankin, we leave the hope that she will find a class who will love and be able to do three letters a period. To Dr. Katenkamp, we leave many items to add to the numerous announcements he makes in our assemblies, which, by the way, stretch the time. To Mr. Spinning, we leave the long list, which we haven't yet found, of names from which he may easily select substitutes. To Miss Holmes, we leave the thought that the armed forces may be able to spare a Walkie- talkie for easy communication with Iohnnie's parents to find out about his whereabouts last Friday. To Miss Freitag and Miss Malchowsky, we leave the sincere hope that someone will invent something to put mail into the correct mail boxes automatically. To all the rest, we leave many thanks for helping to make our stay here pleasant and our sincere best wishes for success and happiness. ' 92 To lolmnny Doughhoy Somewhere in tiny Holland a lonely tulip will poke its dainty features from beneath the crushing grasp of Mother Earth and grow free again. It will be free from the bondage and toil that it knew as its efforts to break through the earth's crust increased, it will live and grow, basking in the sun's golden rays and thriving in the freedom and strength of its rebirth. 'l'hc roar of mechanized units over this tiny llower's earth has not subdued its will to carry ony instead, it has served to but add determination to the accomplishment of its task. Perhaps a frightened child has kicked aside a stone that rested above the tulip bulb, with its greatest burden removed, the flower found growing an easier task and lived to become the lovely thing that it is. So it is, Iohnny Doughboy, with an enslaved, but unconquered Europe. You are thc lads who will kick aside the stones and let the people live again. You are the means by which a beaten. humiliated people will find the ability to hold high their heads once more from the snow-tipped hills of old Greece to the throbbing heart of proud Paris. Yours is the task of lifting their greatest burden, that the people might thrive again on the fruit of their own labor, yours to make the soil of your forefathers such that tulips shall always grow! 'THOIXIAS lkODNlCY O1'OI1ElC By LILLIAN SCHINIEISER A heavy fog has fallen over Vienna. It clothes her so that everything appears undimensionalg yet, far more significant, it seems to tell the world that here is a city which has been murdered, and which waits, as do all victims before they can rest, until its murderer is brought to justice. lts inhabitants walk quickly toward their homes in order to comply with the strict curfew regulations. All, that is, except one. His form is bent, his pace is slow, and his very appearance, shrouded by 93 P. the murky fog, cries out, '1Yes! Yes, Vienna is dead! She was murdered, and they murdered me with her. He stops, turns slightly, looks up at the house which he and Martha have made a home, and with a final effort, walks up the steps and presses the doorbell with his elbow. Why, Philip! Since when must you ring the bell to enter your own home? 'll-uh-forgot my key. 'fBut, dear, the door wasn't locked. No? lt appeared to be. Martha, I'm going to my studio. Please don't let anyone disturb me. I have some work to do. Yes, Philip has some work to do. Seating himself in a great chair before the Hre, he gazes into the crackling flames which seem to fade into Vienna-Vienna in the spring, five years ago. She was beautiful then-gay, frivolous, the sweetheart of Europe. It was the season for the festival in which young painters and musicians made their formal debut after years of hard work and study. The paintings were displayed and judged, the musicians had to play a final recital. He sees the concert hall with its long, sleek ebony standing in the center of the stage. He sees the crowded auditorium buzzing with activity. He sees the students in the wings looking at the veterans in the orchestra with envious eyes. Aren't you excited, Philip? Imagine what a thrill it must be! Oh, Philip, what was your inspiration? This last question is always thrust at a composer, and nine times out of ten, there is no specific source from which he draws his material. And so at the psychological moment Philip interrupts. Look, Herr von Straubel is coming to the stage. The program will get under way now. Herr von Straubel, the director of the conservatory, introduces student after student until at last there is only one more to play. We are truly proud of all the students who have successfully finished their years at the conservatory. They do our efforts justice. We are especially proud of the next student, however, since he has shown a remarkable talent for composition. Philip Kronau will now play his own concerto with the assistance of the conservatory orchestra. From that day, Philip Kronau was 'Aon his way, and as he sits here in the seclusion of his room, he relives those wonderful weeks on tour when he met Martha and made her his wife. He remembers how happy he felt when he learned that his tour was taking him to Vienna after three years of travel. Yes, but how short-lived was his happiness! Of course, he had read of Hitler's occupation, but he had not really believed it could affect his people as it did. lust as soon as he and Martha were settled in their own home in Vienna, Philip began a series of private recitals, which were attended by a very select group. A few days after each of these, things would happen. Sometimes a supply train would blow up, sometimes a munitions dump, but always an important factor in the success or failure of complete occupation. Suddenly it all became very evident to the Gestapo: these recitals were shams to protect the real purpose for such meetings. Philip remembers, too, the summons he received this morning, dated October 19, 1937. It was from the C-estapo headquarters requesting his presence for a routine check-up. 4'Routine ! ls it routine to break a dog's back when you tell him you just want to pat his head? Is it routine to drain all the water out of a dam when you inspect it for a leak? Then tell me-is it routine to mutilate a person when he is called on official business? The pictures in the flames disappear, and Philip's eyes slowly End their way to the arms of the chair. On them rest the tools by which he has chiseled a beautiful life. But as a tool refuses to chisel after it has once rusted, so a pair of hands which are hands no more. They can sear a musician's eyes out, and he will still be able to play, they can split a composer's ear drums, yet he will still be able to write. But to mutilate his hands is to render him blind and deaf! Some day, after the last rats have been exterminated from the Gestapo headquarters, someone will place a plaque there in Philip's honor with this inscription perhaps: Here lies Philip Kronau, musician, born March 10, 1918, died October 19, 1937, died---. --. 94 w-, ,. ff- .'.. Class History By IEAN BERNSTEIN As we reach the final lap of a long journey, we look back on the memorable days we shared, working together as a class. There was, in the autumn of the tenth grade, our first hike through the Forest Reserve. We were such a hungry group that we wonder now whether we weren't the cause of the food shortage. Then came our first class day in November 1941 when we received our colors, maroon and gold, and proudly strutted up and down the corridors displaying them. We girls had a line time dancing against the background of boys who were ornamenting the walls. Our first edition of the Port Light came out in May and the farewell issue, in Iune. Our dip into printers' ink was fun although short lived. Our status as Iuniors was heightened by the Iunior Prom when we mingled with the February class in an evening of dancing that we shall never forget. Oursecond class day arrived, and we were prouder than ever at that assembly to present to the Red Cross the results of our handiwork, two afghans. One was multicolored, the other, maroon and gold. The latter now brightens the cabin of a Navy Lieutenant Commander. The Iunior Play, 'fCircumstances Alter Cases, was a great success. The dance in the gym after school, this time with the help of the boys, ended a perfect day. On a bright Wednesday afternoon in the spring, we held a musicale in Miss Grolock's room. All of the faculty and 11A's were invited to see our musical talent on display. Munehing cake and sipping cold lemonade, we spent a delightful afternoon listening to the music of the old masters and of our own l1A composers. We were disappointed at not having a boat ride Qc'est la guerrej, but the trip to Gwynn Oak was, surprisingly enough, every bit as enjoyable. We rode up and down the Mountain Speedway, groped through the Magic Carpet amid screams and shrieks of laughter, bounced through the Pretzel, and did all but fall out of the Gliders. Although the three special street cars did not move as leisurely as a boat, we still found it exciting. At last our iinal year arrived! We were seniors! Oh, well, sub-seniors, at any rate! We started oil with a hike during the Thanksgiving holidays and ended 1943 with a flourish when we presented the Senior Play, l'll Leave It To You. We think the audience liked it, we know we did. VVe were the guests of the February graduating class at their farewell assembly and final dance. Saying good-bye to them was sad, but we couldn't be entirely unhappy, for now we were full-Hedged seniors! By the time this is printed, we shall have had a Minstrel Show and a Class Dance. We shall have said Aloha at our farewell assembly and tea dance. .. The Informal Dinner, Iune 10, the Commencement, june 13, and our Prom at the Belvedere, Iune 14, will make our exit official. Pt 1 '-253' 111 141417 5 -11' i as 1 ,M A -Q.: .255 f i' 4 C' E 95 A Flight Through Time The apartment was hushed. Having just finished my latest novel, I sat thinking of my days at P.P.H.S. How I longed for my acquaintances in the good old class of '44! As I relaxed, I heard the doorbell ring. Amazed, I found before my eyes Doris Iones, who had just returned from a trip abroad, and Ioe Appel, a great power on Wall Street. They both seemed to know the whereabouts of some classmates, so we drew our chairs closer to the fireplace and talked. After chatting awhile, we decided to take a holiday and visit as many friends as we could. joe contacted Sam Aleck, an art teacher, and Ed Eiler, commercial artist. When Geraldine Fisher, now Mrs. William jackson, heard about our plan, she and her husband wanted to join us. We called the airport to charter a plane and were answered by Bob Stiegler, manager. He told us that he could get two planes if we had more people. We immediately called joe Danneman, manager of the Stanley Theatre, Edward Hannahs, a gym instructor, Mary Menas, world's champion typist, Iack Burden, owner of a bowling alley, Dot Habicht, president of a ladies' club, Loretta Seifert, referee of girls' sports, and Rosalie Lonegro, secretary to Henry Lewinski, owner of a zoot-suit factory. As our party assembled at the airport, Iean Bernstein and Ed Samuels approached. They were our pilots, Betty Graefe and Lorraine Rott, our hostesses. New York was our first stop. When we landed, we were greeted by Andrew Aleece, a restaurant owner, and Mollie Bass, chief of police. They took us to Radio City where we saw Lillian Schmeiser introducing a new hit. In another studio, we heard a Memory Lane program by Norma Boehm, featuring the poetry of Richard Miliok. This was followed by a humorous program with Anthony Tenaglia and Dot D'Arnario as the comedy team. Anthony McNicolas's orchestra was playing with Roz Edmonds as vocalist. As we left Radio City, we met Russell Deppish, featured as Bing Crosby II, and Roman Dudek, leader of famous symphony orchestra. Before starting on our journey to Massachusetts, we stopped at the public library to get maps. Here we found Mary Ann Andree, the head librarian. Meanwhile, Ed Capecci entered, looking for material for his new novel. He told us that Albin Grden now had his own successful dance band. He asked us to visit Paul Kardash, who was giving another famous party in honor of Iackie Rosenblatt's latest concert. Early in the morning, we set out for Massachusetts. Our hostesses were replaced by Norma Price and Iune Beard. There a winter carnival was on, starring Henry Andrychuck, champion skier, and Norma Kahler and Dot Orvis in a duet ballet on skates. The lighting effects were originated by Stewart Bennett. We saw Cene Czerwinski enter with her twelfth husband. We could stay no longer because we had to go on to Oklahoma to see Gene C Tex j Kolody's Dude Ranch. As we entered the city, Ioe Canning met us in his convertible streetcar. Peggy Thompson, chief hostess of the ranch, greeted us warmly. In the lobby we saw Ioe Kaiser and Iohn Ayd, both great inventors. One of our party sprained his ankle, so the hotel doctor was summoned. To our surprise he was Ken Creswell followed by his trim nurse, Linnea Nelson. Afterward, we entered the main ballroom where a Hoor show was in progress. Corinne Obrycki and Ioe DiNardi were doing a tango. On Sunday we followed Tex to church, where Bill Burton was delivering a most interesting sermon. In the front pew we saw Hubert Dumbrowski, an auto salesman. Leaving the church, we met Daniel Wiziiecki wearing sun-glasses two sizes too large, trying to elude his movie fans. We hailed a taxi to take us back to the ranch and its driver was Virginia Hunt. She told us about Doris Turner's success as a political leader. She was now waiting for Roosevelt to relinquish the Presidency to her. We departed from the ranch to go to foreign ports. Iean Brant, champion chess player, retired long enough from his game to finish the trip with us. En route to Honolulu, we cabled Minerva Dent and Hannah Thiman, joint hotel owners. They had Rosalie Trahing, Miriam Mason, Catherine Wiley, Martha Karas, Ruth Yahde, and Elizabeth Tumbleson, dressed in native costumes, greet us. Ann Ross and Lois Hanan hung leis around ,our necks, singing Aloha Oc. We stayed in Honolulu a few days, visiting the school. Melvin 96 Crybowski was the English teacher and Frank Metzger was principal. We saw Edna Weber's circus featuring Midge Kellner, fat lady, Doris Potts, trapeze performer, Mary Robinson, tall lady, Gertrude Sperlein, weight lifter, and Robert Straw, tattooed man. Returning, we were attracted by a picture of Dot F usz and Dot Lari modeling clothes designed by Mme. Eileen Ruby. In the lobby our luggage was taken to our rooms by Paul Petri who liked the climate f?j very much. Entering the dining room, we were greeted by Rosie Valasora, chief waitress. While waiting for our demitasse, we were photographed by Melvin Chayt, Hawaii's ace photographer. Finally, amid Alohas, we bade farewell to Hawaii and headed towards England. Our tour began at the Ritz-Plaza Hotel, managed by Betty Lou Dodson who introduced Bernice Kulacki, receptionist, and Emma Vitak, PBX operator. That evening at the Club Picadilly, we watched Norma Manns and Franklin Kutcher in a new version of the Samba During the intermission we saw Anna Ward with her pilot husband. The next morning we toured the Queen Victoria Hospital with Dorothy Grillith, Supervisor of Nurses, and Ioyce Moats, Supervisor of the children's ward. In the day nursery we noticed Robert Parker telling the kiddies he was once called the Frank 'ASend-me Sinatra of Patterson. At a news stand, we bought a copy of the London Times in which we found Connie Prymak's music column telling of Connie Bodnar's operatic success. Boarding our plane, we waved goodbye to james Gleason, airport mechanic. In Africa, our last foreign port, we saw Gerard Walsh's recreation center. A beauty contest was being judged by Richard Lee. Nearby was Merinda Polsinelli, teacher of native children. Farther on, we saw Doris Holland and Anthony Bricko teaching the natives jitterbugging and Lucy Mileto leading a column in military marching. A woman's wrestling match next attracted our attention. The victor was Iuanita Perry. In the midst of a small group we saw Ben Blusewicz, teaching the natives the art of being a card shark. Our stay in Africa was shortened because we wanted to stop at Washington to see Elizabeth Ritchie, who was secretary to Nora Chirgott, Secretary of the Treasury. We stopped at the man- sion of Lorraine Michael, who was married to a senator. She sent for refreshments which were delivered by june Elste, manager at Read's. About this time, Penny Vardavas, chief heckler in the back row of the Capitol, entered and told us she had just seen a picture starring Nancy Potter. At her heels came Crist Conits, who was a chewing gum and candy salesman. Well, now back to Baltimore we had to go. We said our adieus and headed for home. Turn- ing on the television radio, we saw Florence Cohen and Ruth Bartulis doing a twin tap dance. A professional football game followed. Russell Claridge had just made another touchdown. Arriving in Baltimore, we stopped at our alma mater. Morton Schindler, math teacher, was demonstrating a better slide rule invented by Harry Himelright. Morton told us we could see lerome Butler, a chemist at johns Hopkins, and Betty Glass, lab technician, demonstrate a new experiment that evening. He also told us he had heard from Zemery Beeam who had just returned to Tennessee. Sylvia Shochet and Iohn Stallknecht, managing editors of the Morning Sun, phoned asking that a reporter be allowed to interview me about the tour. I told them to send one while every- thing was fresh in my mind. Then I settled back in my nylon chair and started on another box of chocolates. NANCY GARUFI T-1 rs ' T - f' Nfl.
