HEAVEN ON EARTH Only now do we dare tell the plight of room 302, a room plagued with five all too helpful mas- ters trying in some way or another to get us into some college. We begin our weekly wanderings in room 302 where our history master can honestly (?) say that we are his best Class One. After our history and morals lessons we depart to room 312 where we delve in the mysteries of the physical sciences in a period filled with an open desire for learning. Presently, we scamper down to room 234, zeal- ously wondering whether Aeneas has found his way home dodging Tmesis, Hendiadys, Epithet and other such monsters. From the lost tongue of Latin we come to another lost language — English. In 211 we practice this new language in a book that is almost as sacred as the P I ; the Senior Manter Hall. With this and many other remedies the Doctor tries, to no avail, to rid us of a dreaded disease, ignorance. We now trudge to room 318 for our daily fire, explosion, and quiz with a gen- tleman who is continuously excusing us from school for the rest of the week and giving us the answer to question seven in the next day’s quiz. And so we, the boys of 302 wish to thank all our teachers for what they are doing to get us into the college of our choice and especially Mr. Murphy, who endeavors to help us graduate not only as intelligent young men, but also as gentle- man.

On April 26, 1961, the senior class held its an- nual banquet at the New Brunswick Hotel. The repast consisted of many tantalizing tid- bits and delicacies which fitted the “table d’hote” of the most demanding connoisseur. After the sumptuous ambrosia, the “men” were entertained by an array of brilliant speak- ers, who talked the night away in a very pleasing fashion. The festive occasion came to an early close, so that the “men” could find their way, none too unerringly . . . home? Chairman Frank Alberti and his committee sincerely thank Mr. Hopkinson for his expert ad- vice. The Class Banquet was indeed a joyous event. First Row: Gallagher, Izzy, Shulman, Blotcher, Alberti (Chairman), Fishman, Leaman, Aronson, Russo, Perl- mutter. Second Row: Ring, Kasparian, Cullen, Waller- stein, Haddad, Murray, Conn, Duncan, Berestecki. Third Row: Kahn, Passacantilli, Weiner, Allen, Davidson, Keyo, Carbone, Ang. Fourth Row: Kasoff, Melad, Gordon, Revis, Scharaffa, Brykman.
