Oh, the days of '45 with women and knittin And bowling and ping-pong and the old badminton Women-they ruled indeed- Who cares-it's the men they need! Uniforms have arrived-T. C.'s own gym blue garm-fittings took place at the La Gym Salon De T. C. no one had on their own uniform- Freshmen in divisions and playing against each other in volleyball, basketball-our stars -Marie Carrubba-Dot Healy- The one and only basketball men's team comprised of Jack Hulser, Bob Brulotte, Bob Poulton. How to be clean though friendly in one lesson lectured by Miss Pelz whose topic was What every woman should know . The old woman-to-woman talk. Bowling at the Y -birds flying about while we practiced badminton-baseball in the back lots-tennis in March wrapped in sweaters, skirts and woolens. The funny side of life when-the husky basketball team challenged the girls and lost, and faculty bowed down to students with a game of volleyball-breaking the body in modern dances. New names to our world of sports-Edith DeBonis-jesse Dow. Our first basketball team with names like jack Shanley, Alan Johnson, Jack East. Women we have had our last fling-In '47 all eyes began turning to guess who-jesse Dow and his up-and-coming basketball team with names like Cassella, Schmidt, Grolrns, DeFrancesco- Dancing and card playing in the lounge- receptions at the YH which no one attended- Hostess Day teas- The successful Junior-Senior prom at Inti- mate Racebrook dancing to Betty's CTanseyJ pops' orchestra-the mixed up grand march. Fitzgeralds and our Christmas party-how gay we can be-slapsticking by Ernie- Junior year when we failed to see kids like Eddie Birchard, Mary Bailey, Bob Cox, Sarah Dimon, Marie Frate-some gave it up for the wedding bells-others for other horizons- Cares, worries and frustrations of junior year all forgotten at the Senior prom held in the Hotel Taft in june. K We're all here at last-at the sports day picnic-training students have own fun at Scranton-. The dinner at Seven Gables-crowds in jacks and Manny's scurrying up to Annie's house for much fun just a sittin' an' a talkin'. Our football team winning triumphs-good year too for basketball. Well, that's it kids-just a brief reminder of the fun, and laughs that T. C. gave to us in four wonderful years-four years in which we saw an end of war and a beginning of peace and above all four years of growing up from cocky, eager kids to serious minded young men and women-from students to teachers in four hard but precious years. It's over now- finis-what happens hereon is anybody's guess, but have fun as much as you have had at T. C. and remember, won't you? ADELYNE LENZI
