CLASS H I S TOR Y-Continued mencement announcements grad- uation pictures, and caps and gowns were discussed. Then so- cial events exclusively for seniors came in quick succession. The senior girls' tea given by the City Federation of Women's Clubs was one of the liveliest affairs. First a dessert luncheon was served at the Columbian Hotel. This was followed by a double feature at the West Theatre. The senior play was given on Friday, May 13. A comedy in three acts, Honor Bright, was successful both dra- matically and financially. The cast consisted of: Mildred Roche, Dean Mabry, Paul Fine, Margaret Mae Floyd, Doris Far- ber, Virginia Sisk, Janet Moore, Edna Jane Barker, Carson Shroads, Charles Harvey, Arthur Clements. Cecil Schrader, Ben Kendall, John Reed, and Harold Crawford. On May 29 came the memorable Baccalaureate service. The Reverend C. L. Ramme deliv- ered a most inspiring address. On May 31 diplomas were awarded at the Commencement exercises, which marked the formal crossing of the threshold of life. Certainly at the end of four years in Trinidad High School, the seniors could say from experience that when they saw its portals close behind them, they were bet- ter prepared for life and its trials than when they entered them. Senior No. 1: You know, it's been fun, after all. fsniffl Senior No. 2: f'Yes, it has. I sort of hate to leave. Don't you ? fgulpl Voice of Time: So one more senior class departed in 1938 for higher and clearer levels.

CLASS PROPHECY-Continued day-from morning 'till night, is doing quite well with his ham- burger stand. Now he eats one meal a week-from Saturday to Saturday. And here is a. Flash! The girls are now clamouring over Jasper Picinatti, the screen's most ardent lover. Attention! The par- ty would't have been complete if the company of Banik, Bean, Baca, Berardi, Bonfadini, and Bilotti had not arrived. The last accomplish- ment, for which they received the Moble Prize, was the clever sus- pension of the bridge spanning the Atlantic. The inspiration was one of those Banik Brainstormsf' The motto is, Bigger and Better Bridges Built by Banik, Bean, Baca, Berardi, Bonfadini, and Bil- lotti. A heated debate is taking place between Henry Trollinger and Patty Ryburn on the subject, Does Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Over Night ? Speaking of chewing gum, Niccoli's Inner-Tube gum is guaranteed not to pop. You can't even chew it. Flash I ! ! America's All American Americans have just dashed in for a dish of tea. Can you see George Spahr, Ernest Sa- liba, Clemie Lucero, Charles Maio, Philip Ferris, Rudy Lordnich, Grant Barron, McKenzie Davidson, Steve Grosso and James Macaluso balancing anything smaller than a mug on their knees? You'll no- tice that the team is one short. Mr. Taylor, the matinee idol who is so much in demand, couldn't play full back and wouldn't settle for half or quarter. The notable designer of Women's hair styles is Raymond Goodson. They say he's partial to red-heads. Fancy that! The main course of the meal which is to be served later will be Wonderful Witamins by Wallace, Wakefield and Ward. In one small pill you get every vitamin, and the rest of the meal consists of a generous glass of water and a Roche Super-Dig toothpick. Flash! There's Betty Monroe who owns more sweepstake winners than she Page Thirty-two can count. She brought her best jockeys who are: Gilbert Twee- dale, Joe Alexander, Joe Pompia, Jack Sandoval, Frank Modica, Joe Seculo, James Mattorano and Pete Montera. The Ogden Follies arrives! These are boys who top- ped 6 feet 5 inches: Kenneth Og- den, Pete Renner, Ludvich Tom- azin, Everett Olson, Ralph Gag- liardi, Elmer Jones, Arthur Clem- ents, Robert Choate, Edward Oz- zello, Robert Hart and Frank Frlan. Flash! Managers Jennison and Kilgore are here with Maxie Lopez, undefeated whisker weight champ. Galasso, Garcia, Gargaro, of the Smashwell Tomato Com- pany are the latest arrivals. They did the best business just after the Dionisio-DePaolo stage show opened. During these spectacular entrances we have been entertain- ed by La.rson's Miners.

Cornets -- Bar- bera Hallas, Margaret Johnson, Helen Makloski, Virginia Miller, Phyllis Myklebust, Ruth McPhailL French Horns-Corrine Garcia, Esther Lopez. Marimba and bells -Gertrude Martinez, Sara Sando- val and Lena Santos. They have to pay the drummer by the mile because it's such hard work. One drummer can only play one piece. Drummers are: Slyvia Mantelli, Annie Parolini, Lucy Pompia, Ro- salie Ruvolo, Louise Provenzano, Agnes Prunk, Mary Savarino, Maxine Snyder and Barbera Spen- cer.
