’52 IN WONDERLAND Bump! At last I'm squashed through the door into Wonderland (I'm just a little freshman. I wish I had my magic mushroom to make me big enough to compete with those juniors and seniors!) Before long my fellow freshmen and I are rushing around gasping, I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!” as we try to get from general science on the third floor to English on the first or to Civic Tours Club or to junior varsity bas- ketball practice. Dean Benson, president, Merritt Spear, vice-president, Joe Stay, secretary and Robert Martin, treasurer, begin the parade of officers. Even without my mushroom it seems no time at all before I've shot up to sopho- more-height; and we elect Joe Stay, president; Sandra Kraus, vice-president; Betty Ann Frost, secretary and Henry Schcier, treasurer. At the Soph Hop I dance everything but the Lobster Quadrille. Wonderland's wondering at its new orchestra under Mr. Wahl. Passing regents to become a junior is harder than reciting The Walrus and the Car- penter backwards, especially when the gryphons in Albany make us the first to suffer through their history regents. Even that criticizing three-inch caterpillar can find no fault with our officers this year — Merritt Spear, president; Jerry Harrell, vice-president; Marian Baker, secretary and Henry Scheier, treasurer, nor with the '52 brains filling the Juntos and Minervians. Even the caterpillar would be excited by the nip-and-tuck battle in which the seniors finally carried off the juniors' colors on Class Day. No caucus race works up more steam than does our basketball team as it takes the North Cbuntry League championship with an undefeated season, first in the school's history. The King and Queen of Hearts never saw anything like the heavenly junior prom with which the juniors fete their king and queen, Jerry Harrell and Sally Beaubriand. For that royal pair the painters don't paint white roses red but do paint a building-full of drab classrooms in lilting pastel shades. Now, as we’re roaming the woods for ferns and decorating the stage for the seniors’ gradua- tion tomorrow, my fellow juniors and I realize that in another year we too must wake up to life in an adult world. We're seniors now. We’ve re-elected Merritt Spear, Jerry Harrell and Marian Baker and elected Skippy Rosenberg treasurer. We're making that rabbit who was late for a very important date look poky. There are magazines, yearbook and class play. I’m so thrilled — the play's all about me! But the duchess’ pig-baby was easier to handle than the Ford the first time I tried it in the new driver-training course. Now my long dream's over. It's time to wake up to the real world of problems and grave responsibility. I guess I can handle it. No Mad Hatter's chatter is the sage sense imparted to me by teachers and the workable experience gained, all backed by a far-seeing principal and board of education. So, with a snap of the fingers, I'm awake and ready for the life ahead. Alice [28]
