Whiffy and her crew, addressing Christmas cards to the faculty .... The Woodchopper's Ball, com- plete with all the trimmings .... The last minute rush for announcements .... Minsky Jones rattling off the mottoes in class meeting .... All the money Bill Miller wanted to spend on the gift to the school .... The tree, now firmly planted by those town-trained coolies .... And a multitude of other activities climaxing our six-year sojourn in Bethle- hem Central. Behind the scenes were Eddie Walsh and his cabinet to make sure everything was func- tioning smoothly. And behind them the whole class of 1947 in spirit and cooperation. Early last fall the executive committee met and set up our budget. Stupendous as it was we met our expenditures and even squeezed through with a few pennies on the plus side of the ledger. The numer- ous other committees that were organized and per- formed their duties were: Goodwill, Senior Play, Senior Ball, Tree, Flower and Colors, Motto, Senior Banquet, Follies of Forty Seven, Baccalaureate. VVoodchopper's Ball and Graduation. In October the Brain Trustv got together again and appointed the Oriole Editors and started the ground work for our great stage production. By November rehearsals were well underway for The Goose Hangs Highv and Munro had the wires crossed for the umpteenth time. On Wrednesdays Oriole meetings flowed smoothly with everyone in complete accord, while the eager scholarship class students trudged to school each A.M. at 7:-15 in the highest of spirits. That rollicking event, the Woodchoppefs Ball, gave us a chance to let our hair down and dance in our stocking feet to our heart's content. This is the way it went with all the traditional events at the closing of our senior year as the Class of 194-7 ascended those last few steps of the Stairway to the Stars . K 11
