Shuman, principal of the Berwick High School, graduated from Susquehanna University with a B.S. degree. He completed work on his master of arts degree in the University of New York. Teaching in the Berwick school system since 1925, Mr. Shuman first acted as instructor of physics and chemistry, In 1937 he was elected principal, which office he now fills. During this five year period of office school authorities instituted two new courses, the industrial arts and the home economics. Homogeneous grouping was successfully attempted in the upper classes. Sports were prosperous with basketball twice taking regional honors and the football team finishing one undefeated season and four other above average years. Improvement in the school proper included newly-painted halls and rooms plus a modern intra-communication system. The marking system was revamped with letters substituted for numerical averages and the passing grade lowered from 70 to 60 per cent. 4 131112 anh white Q f- H Class Information -1 OFFICERS ROLAND WEAR, IR. .. ....

We regret the fact that our time has expired And we must say goodbye to the school we've always admired. To the underclassmen we give this advice H You will use your time economically if you are wise.

Salutatory Address By ROBERT ESHLEMAN, Jr. Members of the Board of Educa- tion, Parents, Teachers, Friends, and Classmates -f Tonight it is my great honor to speak the words that bid you wel- come to the 60th annual commence- ment of the Berwick High School. You have shown much interest in us during the last four years and your being here tonight shows this continued interest. We are now pass- ing out into your midst and most of our success depends upon the way you receive us, Tonight, however, we play the role of hosts and as such we extend to you the friendly hand of hospitality. Welcome to this-our commence- ment program, EDUCATION FOR SURVIVAL AT THE PRESENT TIME The theme we have chosen for this evening is Education for Survival- Now and in the Future. Some of the material for this theme is taken from an address by Dr. Francis B. Haas, Superintendent of Public Instruction, whom we wish to thank for his kind permission to use it. Many feel that our way of life under the Constitution and its Bill of Rights, with its freedom, has come down to us and will remain with us. no matter what we may do, or fail to do: that regardless of repeated warn- ings that freedom is obtained at the price of eternal vigilance, we will be blessed with it eternally. To many people now the greatest single issue confronting humanity is -can democracy endure? With all the great inventions of science and industry, we must still beware of that group of nations that would change all that we consider essential to life. So it is very obvious that the upheav- al of recent years makes it certain that freedom, as conceived by Ameri- cans, must be protected and safe- guarded at all times if it is to endure. We entered this World War ll as unprepared as we were when we entered World War l. It is apparent that though we made great advances in a material and scientific way, we turned those advances into the paths of peace, and did not realize that there were about us in the world na- tions that were not in sympathy with our way of life and our ideals, and through armed strength and develop- ments in education and industry, would try to overthrow the ideals which we hold dear for a system of military conquest and authority. In order to do this, they are ready to bomb civilians, ruin historical land- marks and destroy the accumulated wealth of ourselves and our allies, and even go so far as to use poison gas. We must now work harder and faster to overcome this onslaught of military might. ln endurance we must be their equals: in intelligence and skill we must surpass them: in pro- Continuetl un following page 131112 ants white I. - - ,. 0 O O 1942 B.H.S.

Our war materials, guns, planes, and ships m'ust he superior, and the training of our leadership must be second to none in the World All of these are the outcome of edu- cation. Survival of the United States ap- pears to involve first, the desire to achieve our ideal, and second, the ability and willingness to have ready at all times the resources to protect our way of life, These are the prob- lems that challenge education now and in the years to come if We are to survive as a democracy. There is something for everyone to do to throw off the threat of Axis might. American youth is doing much even now. The Boy Scouts are col- lecting Waste cardboard, paper and metal goods of all kinds. They are selling stamps and bonds, and they have planted gardens to provide much needed foodstuffs. ln conclusion, in my judgment, Education for Survival must in- clude, fll an understanding of our own political ideal, 12, an under- standing of the political ideal of other nations, t3j an understanding of the elfect of antagonistic ideals, Q41 an understanding of the plans of other nations to impose their ideals upon us, Q51 an understanding of what other nations can do to secure domin- ation, and C6l specific training to sustain the individual and the nation.

We have completed a youth of instruction in varied fields. During that time this night has always been awaited eagerly. Now that it has come we realize that we owe a deep debt to those who have made our years in the Berwick schools a reality. For this we sincerely thank the members of the Board of Education who have worked hard to gain and keep the high standards of the school system. To them we owe a large part of our training for their efforts in our behalf. To our-parents, who have suffered for our life and growth through the love of which they have freely given us, we extend our highest thanks. And it is our hope that as men and women we will be worthy of the sacrifices which you have undergone to aid us in acquiring our education and maturity. Without the co-ordinating efforts SPPIY, JH. of the superintendent and school principals we could not have pro- gressed .as we have. We sincerely thank you. Teachers, you who endured us from our first days of schooling, we owe you a debt for the inspiration and aid that you have freely given to us. From tonight this class as a unit is dead, having lived its life and served its purpose. We now pass from pub- lic school life to a part in a far great- er sphere of action. We enter a world that has changed in the past few years more than in any other equal period in history. May we, with the help of God, use our coming role in life to the advantage of the nation and democracy. THE FUTURE CHALLENGE For twelve years we have been educatedg we are now prepared to acquire an education. At the start of this year we were at the beginning of the end of our school days: now we are at the end of the beginning of life. Tomorrow we face the world. For the most part we have been thus far pampered, We now face a world in which we will have to fight for every gain we make and every step we take. This class leaves its youth and school as other groups have done be- fore. We have a limited knowledge of its general problems and know, for the greater part, our own ideals. lt is a world of inequality, though in the largest sense, all men are created equal. We, as thousands of others, enter the rigorous role of life with the idea that it is our destiny to be successful, to overcome our problems and sor- rows and attain our ambitions. To- day we stand as a part of that youth, ready to fight and strive for a world one bit better for our having entered. Yet fifty years from now graduat- ing classes will have much the same Continued on following page 381112 anh white O 0 O 1942 B.H.S. Valedictory Address By WILLIAM SPBY, JB. continued from preceding page aims and problems. Youth will still strive toward goals, and they will be almost as far in the distance as those of today. Men will still fight and starve and die, in the never ceasing struggles of the world: the struggles that while horrid to the senses are glorious for their hopes and fears, It is ours to know that far, some- where, as a result of this turmoil, there will be peace on earth and democratic security for mankind. That is the goal and challenge: the goal which led the Iews from Egypt: that shone in ancient Greece: that created and maintains the US.: that has flickered gloriously through the annals of man. It is ours today as it was yours and will be our sons. We are ordinary young men and women, a part of a solid group which makes the American Nation. We are a yet smaller section of those men and women throughout the world, who, like us, are prepared to strive for a better, peaceful, democratic land. That which we will do as a class is insignificant. That which will be done by the youth of the democratic lands will be told for the history of the ages. Little by little, as you have done as youth and men, we, in our 181112 anh white turn will advance. And in the future others shall also take up the strife to continue that slender thread of liber- ty which has motivated most of the main actions of the past, and will continue to do so in the future. We will fight and die that it may live. We will not see its final com- pletion, nor will our sons, or our grandsons, but we progress knowing that its coming is an inevitable event in some part of the future. This is our challenge: it was yours and will ever be that of democratic generations. We are held, as much as our fathers who established this land were held, to continue the traditions of American Democracy. We pledge ourselves to further it to a more near- ly perfect end to make it strong, and insure its permanence among the na- tions of the world. It is for us so to live in conformity to that challenge that we shall never be afraid to die: to follow and lead, as well as we may, the world to a better form, though our contribution will be small. It is our dream that, in the end, there will be a land, an earth, a joyous and beautiful land, where peace, hopejand security will reign for all men. , O Q O C ilitant llelnocracy The world of aggressor nations is learning at last that democracy is not effeminate or impotent to act in an emergency. It is being demonstrated that democracy is literally dy- namite - with an exceptionally long, slow- burning fuse. Our lateness in getting under way has been misleading the totalitarian na- tions, and now they are amazed at the rapid military preparations we are making. Democracy is an experimental social sci- ence pointing towards a fusion of moderated socialism, unsellish capitalism and Christian humanitarianism, It is a compliment to any country to have labored as long as we have to put democracy to work on a large scale. It is the most complicated, elaborate and difficult of all the tested forms of society. Few nations have made it work out satis- factorily. We have given it a shape that is now attractive, and we have provided it with a vigor that is a major surprise to the larger authoritarian countries. The people of the world must not be led to take democracy for granted, We believe it to be the inevitable universal social order, but we know well that its successful opera- tion requires the efficient service of a well regulated system of public schools, The bet- ter our educational program the higher the quality of our democratic processes, and the liner our democratic institutions prove them- selves to be the more satisfactory will be the schools that the people establish. American history reveals that there is a close connection between democracy on the one hand and science, art, philosophy and scholarship on the other hand. In those parts of the current world where democracy has been overthrown or prevented from develop- ing, the fine arts and the sciences have failed to flourish. Where democracy has remained strong there has been a continuous encour- agement of thought. research, authorship and creative art. Democracy is capable of full fruition only when there is every evidence of cooperative effort on the part of the so-called common people. Right now in the United States the masses of our citizens have joined hands and pooled their resources for the purposes of overthrowing the forces that have been op- posing the freedom of the human spirit and the democratic way of life. By means of this all-out devotion to the preservation of liberty and justice we are giving some new ingredients to our concept of the scope and meaning of democracy. Our young people will carry on during the span of their lives and give us a still richer pur- pose and value in life. We are one of the strongest of the United Nations that will in the near future be moving toward a victor- ious termination of this war, and it will be the militant democracy of America that will turn the tide in the direction of success and happiness for all who prefer to live in peace and contentment with their neighbors.

Never in the history of our school has a class been graduated when world conditions have been more acute and when our American way of life more endangered. With this situa- tion in mind we have chosen for our class night program a pageant. the theme of which is the struggle, we, as Americans have had to win and hold our most treasured possessions: our freedom. Through the years our people have worked, fought, and sacrificed their lives that we today might have freedom and liberty. Time after time since the birth of our nation its liberty loving people have seen the light of freedom grow dim. but with the undaunted courage that characterizes our brave Americans they have sacrificed everything to give their people that great freedom of life that we enjoy today. When we think of the young people in the war torn countries who are denied the great freedom of thought, freedom of action, and pursuit of happiness we bow our heads in deep gratitude that we live in America. Let us pause to review tonight this great heritage that is ours so that we, the citizens of tomor- row, can better appreciate the struggle of the past and be more prepared to meet the crisis that faces our country today. As the nation turns to its defense, and as we in Berwick see the tanks rolling from the American Car and Foundry plant daily the class of 1942 of Berwick High School, recog- nizing the part its members must eventually play, present Our American Freedom in order that you and I may know exactly what resources we have with which to defend our shores. Our class does not inform you of your natural resources, but of your spiritual re- sources. For all your coal and oil and land, your copper and your labor power means little for defense unless each one of you knows what he is defending. So tonight we bring you Freedom Forever . Summary nf Freedom Forever America calls from the past those who have contributed most in the building of this nation. They tell what they have done to give liberty and freedom in order that you will know better how to preserve their priceless gift. Students depict scenes in chronological order from the time when Indians roamed to the days of the present World War. Time passes on the stage as the history 131112 anh white of the U.S. is unfurled - from the days of the Indians, to the settlings of the Puritans, the Revolutionary War, the signing of the Dec- laration of Independence, the adoption of the Constitution, the reading of the Monroe Doc- trine, the conquering of the wilderness the Civil War, the Gettysburg Address, immigra- tion, World War No. l, and World War No. 2. 1 , 1 O 0 O Mantle Uration by ROLAND WEAR, IR. As president of the Class of 1942 I welcome you, the Class of 1943. You are about to undertake the re- sponsibilities of leadership which we have held for the past year. Those re- sponsibilities should not be taken light- ly. We, as underclassmen, always re- spected and admired the senior class and longed for the time when we would take our place as seniors. We strived through this past year to maintain the high standards of previous senior class- es. You juniors have an important duty before you. That duty is one of being honorable, conscientious seniors. We, the graduating class have an even more important duty or obligation to fulfill. That obligation is one of being honor- able, conscientious, cooperative Ameri- cans. You may ask what the tie between a cooperative student and an American is. The student's schooling is the foun- dation of the individual, Those who co- operate in school will cooperate later as American citizens. ln these trying times, our nation needs this type of American. Many in our class are already help- ing in the war effort, and others will be 'Apitching in immediately after the close of school. One of our former classmates is even now in the armed forces of the United States. Gthers are working at night in our vital defense industries, or shall we now call them offense industries. Prospective nurses and others who are essential to our all- out effort are graduating with our class. Why should we do all this for Am- erica? The pageant presented this eve- ning helps to answer that question. A few weeks ago the underclassmen scheduled subjects of their own choice for the coming terms. ln Germany or lapan they would not have received this privilege. After we seniors graduate, we will select a life's work according to our choosing. In Germany or Iapan we would follow orders from birth till death. American freedom is worth fight- ing for and worth sacrificing for. Our sacrifices thus far cannot be compared wtih those of the people of Washing- ton's or Lincoln's day. They fought to give us freedom. We must fight to retain it. Let us all pitch in with a will. This classic mantle represents the ideals and standards of all senior class- es. Guard these standards zealously. Continue to uphold its traditions and to set a splendid example for the following senior classes. I therefore in behalf of the Class of '42 present you with this mantle. Junior I-lcceptance by HARRY CALLEY lt gives me great pleasure to accept this mantle in behalf of the Class of 1943, from the Class of 1942. ln all sincerity we, the Class of 43, will do our utmost to uphold the Hne example set by former classes. We have looked forward with great anticipation, to the time when on us should fall the responsibility of preserv- ing the traditions of this, our cherished high school. We now accept the challenge that goes with the transfer of this mantle. The youth of America is being called upon to adapt itself to rapidly changing conditions. Because of this fact our Al- ma Mater has made many changes during your career as Seniors in order to better prepare you to meet the chang- ed times. This condition may increase in intensity rather than decrease during our term as Seniors, but we shall do our best to meet these new demands without lowering our high intellectual standard. We believe in our schools: we believe in the United States of America. We accept this mantle and the duty it obli- gates. We shall always love it, support it, protect it, respect it and defend it.

Il Tim. 3:7 Shakespeare said: All the world's a stage, and all the men and women in it merely players. It would be just as true to say: HAH of life's a school. and all the men and women in it merely students. School days never end. Commencement is the term applied to the end of a course of study. Continuation would be an even better term. We are ever learning, yet never able to come to a full knowledge of the truth. The Iewish Talmud says: MStudents are of four kinds: they are like a sponge, a fun- nel, a strainer, and a sieve: like a sponge that sucketh all up, like a funnel which receiveth at one end and dischargeth at the other: like a strainer which letteth the wine pass but retaineth the leesg and like a sieve which dischargeth the bran but retaineth corn. Some are like a sponge. They have an acquisitive nature. They are interested in quantity rather than in quality. This prin- ciple applies elsewhere. There are those who grab all the money they can, not being squeamish as to how it is securedg still less as to how it is used. Some do this with their pleasures. The sponge not only sucks up all it can get, but also holds it. To get anything out of it you have to squeeze it. The true principle of life, however, is that he who would have his life must lose it. What we do we should do not grudgingly, or of neces- sity. Some are like a funnel . lust the opposite of the sponge. They hold nothing. Things go in one ear and out the other. It is very easy to let things slip away. A very superficial type of life is thus produced. The principle of retention must be observed if character is to be developed. We cannot let the good and valuable things escape and continue to grow. We suffer physically when we cannot retain the food we eat, and we will suffer spiritually if we fail to digest and retain a large part of the good things we hear. We ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we would let them slip. Then there are some who are 'Alike a strainer. They let the valuable escape, but retain the inferior. Some can retain all light trivial things, but do not retain the weighty important. A worthwhile life cannot be built upon the trivial and funny. There is a proper place and a proper proportion for these, but not the major place nor time. Life is too important to waste in trivialities. The foundation of a building is its most important part. Yet if you are to have an edifice you must have more than a foundation. he strength of the foundation will not keep an inferior super-structure from tumbling to ruins. You can spoil all that God has hoped and planned for you if you retain the trivial and lose the weighty. And some are like a sieve . Here is your ideal student. He sifts and discriminates. He does not grab up everything and hold it. He does not let everything he hears pass right through him. He doe not let the good escape and retain the bad. He lets the inferior go and retains the superior. He shakes, examines and scrutinizes things. Thus he discovers the true value of the things that life presents. lt is in this conception of life we should find our ideal and our hope. Not amount, but content: not bulk, but weight should be our determining factors. lf we are to be morally stable we must be morally aristo- cratic. Not every spirit should be believed, but only those that are of God. Not every- thing should be retained but only those that have been proven to be good. We never graduate from the school of life. ln it we are ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth in any abso- lute or perfect sense. Blur anh white ...Dzr.zza. .-.

Senior Drama The Senior Class presented A'What a Life , a three-act comedy chosen for the annual senior drama at the Nescopeck High School auditorium on Friday, April 24th. This is the first year a senior drama has not been held in the high school auditor- ium, but due to a fire which destroyed the stage the play could not possibly be enacted here. Henry Aldrich, a problem child of Central High School, spends most of his time in the principal's office. When Henry is not lying, he is fighting, cribbing, collecting old shoes, drawing caricatures of his teachers, talking in study period, or flunking examinations, As a typical Blue anh white American boy, he delights in break- ing the heart of Barbara Pearson, an honor student, and president of her class. He confides to her that Hamlet killed himself because Hhe couldn't take it. Having invited Barbara to the Spring Dance, and then suspend- ed for cheating, Henry has to invent a dying uncle in Denver as an excuse for backing out. Later he is accused of stealing instruments belonging to the school band, but Henry is re- leased when George Bigelow, anoth- er honor student, confesses to the crime. The curtain descends with Henry, his reputation cleared, again asking Barbara to go to the dance. 1 l ' iii - 'l . .l-1- 6 O Iunior Class Officers: Edwin Bittenbender, Roland Lenhart, Helen Kliss, and Harry Calley.

AAWelcome Class of VIZ was the greeting which appeared in the en- trance to the ballroom and the fare- well sign at the exit read Hflarewell Seniors . Lee Vincent's orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. During intermission soda, cake, ice cream, and candy were served. The dance floor was patriotically decorated with red, white, and blue streamers, Balloons were showered upon the dancers and were hastily snatched for souvenirs - if not brok- en immediately. And so the gala affair of the year passes and remains but another memory to us. Blue anh white Band First Row: Royce Bennett.

Miss Clarissa Hidlay, new Latin instructress, acf companied us into high school. Our class advisors, Miss Yeager and Mr. Ruch. chose the following students to guide us during the first semester. President ....., ....,. S TERLING SMITH Vice-President ........., MARY BASHER Secretary ........ MARGARET MANDRILLO Treasurer ..,.,....... ROLAND WEAR, IR. Following the usual custom we were then placed under the subjection of our 'ASuperior Sophomores who humiliated us for one long week. fFrom September 26- 305 Some of our initiation duties were: 1. All girls will wear one anklet and one stocking while the boys must wear a coat turned inside out. 2. Freshmen will carry books from class to class in a paper sack, 3. To change sex for a day the boys will wear makeup and the girls will wear black mustaches. 4. Each student will wear the customary cardboard sign with names printed on for identification. We made our debut into the social life of Berwick High at the Freshman Welcome Party, Friday, October 7. At this time Miss Elaine Belles was elected Miss 1942 and Mr. Dick Hess, 'AMr. 1942. This was a year of Club organization with the Dramatic Club being organized by Miss Mildred Moody, the Booster Club by Mr. Elmer McKechnie, and a De- bating Club by Miss Iessie Eves and Miss Mary Aller. New uniforms were purchased for the Band members through the untiring effort of the Band Mothers. Pierre Henrotte was the guest conductor at this year's concert which was dedicated to the American Legion. Our Alma Mater received a new coat of paint in the halls. Basketball ranked high that year. Sport results were: Baseball: won 3 and lost 4: Football: won 5 and lost 5. In Basketball we really outshone the surrounding areas by winning 16 and losing only 3, almost winning the Eastern Pennsylvania Championship, The second semester was opened with the election of the following officers: President ,......, .......

The engage- ment of Miss Ruth Fairchild to Mr. Frank Hagenbuch was announced. A keen loss was felt by the Iunior class upon the death of Marian Shotwell on May 15, 1941. Our really big affair of the year was the sponsoring of the Iunior-Senior Prom at West Side on May 23. Robert Eshleman was awarded the scholastic prize for the highest average while William Spry, lean Martz, Phyllis Baer, and Betty Vandermark were honorable mention. lean Martz received the girl's American history prize and Shirley Buell was honorably mentioned. Wil- liam Spry received the boy's prize and Robert Eshleman was honorably mentioned. SENIOR YEAR 1941-'42 Those chosen to head us in our last year were: President ,.,,..,..... ROLAND WEAR, IR. Vice-President .,.,....,... IAMES REAP Secretary ....... ,.., A NDREW DENDLER Treasurer .............. IAMES DOHERTY New faces among the faculty this year were Miss Violet Grigg, Miss Dorothy Savage, Miss Muriel Engel- ke, and Miss Ruth Merrion. Miss Iennie Birth and Mr. Roger Davis, having taken a year's sabbatical leave, returned to B.H.S. to teach. William Spry and Margaret Mandrillo were ap- pointed co-editors of the Blue and White and Ioan Trapane, Thurley Belford, Katie Pasak, and Frances Fink worked hard to type the material for the school paper. The first social event sponsored by the Seniors was the Halloween Dance. An outstanding feature of the year was the forming of a girl's drill team which was outfitted by the Band Mothers. According to custom the Senior class took over the task of feeding the hungry fans at Crispin Memorial Field during the football season. With eleven games, eleven wins, and only two teams able to score on Bulldog power, Berwick ended the most successful football season in its history, being the highest scoring high school team in Pennsylvania, win- ners of the Wyoming Valley Conference, and possessor of the best season record in the state. The Ia vee squad followed the varsity in an undefeated season. Those who received football awards were: Ioe Colone, Iames Reap, Mike Krepich, Glen Kocher, George Reagan, Sam De- Febo, Raymond Stout, Dane Eveland, Alonzo Pruitt, Charles Wentzel, Mike Sabrick, and Ioe Marinaro. Two cheerleaders, Iane Laubach and Margaret Brown, were presented with silver footballs. 42 Replacing the telephones and note carrying brigade. a new two-way loudspeaker system was installed. Fire twice threatened the main structure of B.H.S. on Ianuary 28 as cigarettes were responsible for two serious blazes. Cupid certainly struck the faculty - Miss Ruth Fairchild married Mr. Frank Hagenbuch, Miss Betty Dent married Mr. Harold Border, Miss Doroth Scheckler married Mr. Harold Lanterman, and Miss gdna Keller became engaged to Mr. Ray McBride. In basketball Berwick won the Wyoming Valley League, District Two, and the regional honors only to be defeated by Lower Merion for the Eastem Champion- ship title. The Iayvees came through with an unde- feated season. B.H.S. suffered.a great loss when Mr. Bream departed for the Navy. The Senior Girl's team was the intramural basketball champions of the year. The most outstanding social event of the year was the Senior sponsored May Dance. Miss Iane Laubach, escorted by Ioseph Colone, held court at West Side Park after her coronation there. She was crowned by Miss Doris Haines, Maid of Honor, who was escorted by Iames Reap, Prince. The attendants and their escorts were: Betty Boudman, Louise Mageovage, Ioyce Hutch- ins, Margaret Helen Bevilacqua, Iennie Rhinard, Gloria Dawn Raseley, Mildred Slusser, Elaine Fink, Dick Hess, Samuel DeFebo, Robert Bower, Ioe Wintersteen, Hayden Firth, Roland Wear, George Reagan, and Russell Norris. Due to illness Russell Norris could not participate in the procession and was replaced by Iames Doherty. A catastrophe struck B.H.S. when fire completely destroyed the stage one week before the Senior drama, What a Life . The undaunted Seniors, however, after being told they could use the Nescopeck stage, immediate- ly set to work and both characters and stage setting were ready for April 24. Ioseph Benscoter, as Henry Aldrich, had the lead in the play. Another event which marked the beginning of the end was the sophisticated Prom which the Iunior Class sponsored in honor of the Seniors. Honor students were named and were as follows: William Spry, valedictoriang Robert Eshleman, salutator- iang Margaret Mandrillo, lean Martz, Andrew Yevich, Eileen Falvey, Phyllis Baer, Shirley Buell, Christine De- Salse, Betty Vandermark, Charles Wentzell, Kenneth Ness, William Hosler, Sara Costello and Roland Wear. It was decided to have a theatre party which was followed by a nickelodeon dance in the high school gym as the Senior Farewell party. Baccalaureate, the Class Night, and the Commence- ment exercises were held at Crispin Memorial Field. This is the first year graduation exercises were held outside. On May 29 we left our Alma Mater never again to return as students. 181112 anti white 1 1 l s . 9 9 0 CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATING SENIORS When in Doubt TO FIND A GOOD PLACE TO EAT, PLEASANT EN- VIRONMENT, GOOD HOME-COOKED FOOD, AND A REALLY COOL PLACE IN HOT VVEATHER .....
