wreaths and Santa Claus in his sleigh—to say nothing of Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, who was the star of the evening? We had hardly recovered from the cabaret when we started to work on the Prom. We had ‘Spring in Central Park’ as our theme and Wendall Bradway’s Orchestra provided the music.” “At last we were Seniors. And, again, a slight change in class officers. You were elected vice-president, weren’t you, Jean?” “You remember everything, Ilarrie. This was our big year, with the Peanut Bowl game added to all our Senior activities. Remember how proud we were when the boys came home victorious? There were a lot of sleepy-eyed students in school that morning after their arrival home. The rally lasted until 2 a.m., didn’t it? But the team really deserved their big welcome.” “The Kid Party sure was fun, too. Remember how funny we all looked in those kid clothes? Everyone joined in to play ‘Ring Around the Rosy,’ tag and all those other games. Santa Claus gave everybody a gift, and the refreshments were delicious.” “The gang worked hard that year on ‘Clementine,’ our class play, and it was a huge success. Marcia Gould and Terry Woodbury were big hits in the leading roles and the members of the supporting cast were also tops. Of course, under the excellent direction of Mrs. Nardi, how could the play be anything but a winner?” “But it wasn’t all laughs and fun, was it, Jean? There were plenty of studies, and then along came our yearbook,—more worry. I never thought we’d reach our quota in advertisements. But everything worked out smoothly and our yearbook finally went to press.” “Well, Harrie, our class banquet came along and then, at long last, our gradu- ation. How sad we were to think of leaving Agawam High, but awfully proud when F. T. I), handed us our diplomas.” Time: Three days later Place: Back in the Recorder’s Office. “So, late again, eh? I thought I told you to be back in two days.” “Well, you see, our passes weren’t properly signed and the Customs Officer sent us back for a slip from the office. Here arc the reports.” 1231
