What we do, we do well. How well we have lived up to this motto. As memory brings back our achievements and failures during four years of hard work, we can smile, for we came through with marked success. l For all this we thank Mr. Douds, who was our class advisor for four years. His capable guidance was noted by all of our class. It was he who gave pep talks which aroused the students to sell so many advertisements which aided us in publishing such a splendid annual. In the month of September, 1934 we entered Bridgeport High School and began work for a higher education. There were approximately two hundred and ten who began, but as the years went by, quite a number dropped out of the class. However, with the co-operation of those left, we had several skating parties and this aided in securing money for the class. Our guiding staff for the first year included: president, Charles Zimag vice-president, Harold Childersg and treasurer, Charles Fowler. In our second year we were led by president, Harold Childers, vice-president, Junior Marling, secretary, Tom Rouse, and treasurer, Julia Muhleman. ln that year we proved our capability in many school activities. Wle contributed in the field of sports and also took part in musical programs. We gave several skating parties again that year which were well attended. Then almost before we realized it, we were lull-fledged Juniors and saw out destination drawing nearer. This was a very active year for every membcr of the class. We sold magazine subscriptions, pencils, candy, and other articles in order to raise sufficient funds for the Prom. We managed to give the Seniors a Prom they will not easily forget. lt was given at the Eagle's Ballroom, May 27, and was an elaborate affair. A group of our talented Juniors were selected to give a play entitled, Broadway Bound which was a grand success. Those who participated were: Jeanette Morgan, Anne Kotwis, Annalee Malin, Elsie Porter, Clayton Barritt, Leo Salvador, Tom Rouse, Jerry Gordon, and Nick Wukeson. VVe wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Varnes for directing the play. The officers in charge for this year included: president, Jack Bowman, vife-president, Harold Childers, secretary, Jean Ochsenbeing and treasurer, Julia Muhleman. This year, like last, we Figured in the field of sports. Joe George was elected Captain of the football team and was ably assisted by Donald Laase and Jack Shields. Our girls also made a name for themselves. They won the inter-class championship in volleyball. Our great loss occured, however, with the death of Bob Fox, one of our basketball stars who was stricken with spinal meningitis. His passing was felt not only in basketball but also in our every day activities. And now with the hurry and excitement of Commencement, Bacca- laureate, Alumni Banquet and all the other phases of Graduation we cannot help but look back with regret to the high school life which may be relived only in memory.

F Good Bye, Dear Bridgeport High School CTune of True Confessionl Good-byes will always bring us sorrow- We'll try to borrow, Some gladness for today. Because our high school days have ended, And we have wended Our way here to say: Our way here to say. CHORUS Good-bye dear Bridgeport High School, it's time to say farewell, This class of thirty-eight is leaving, you have treated us well. We'll miss our faithful teachers and our fine class- mates too, We'll miss the blue and black we cheered for and to them we'll be true. Though we to other schools journey on-wherever we go We will be loyal to Bridgeport High, we mean it we want you to know.

The year is l953g try and imagine you are with me in my apartment in good old Boston, and that we are going to spend a quiet evening reminiscing and listening to my new television set. Edward Sodnikar, an old classmate, per- fectedltelevision in 1943, and I have just purchased a new Sodnikar Super Specia . We shall turn the dial and listen in on the news of the day as broadcast by Robert Young. My! Robert certainly is a handsome chap with that mustache, isn't he? But let's listen to what he has to say. Today in his home laboratory on Long Island, Charles Schulenburg made known his discovery of Radium Potassium which is to be used as a cure for Sleeping Sickness. Flash! We have received a news bulletin from the China Clipper. Co-pilot Paul Sommers re- ported to the American Air Lines that Pilot James Bain had set the plane down on a small island in the South Seas, but would continue as soon as a severe trop- ical storm subsided enough to allow him to take off. Stewardess Ida Marty also reported that Hugh Kinney is safe but suffering quite badly from fright. Hugh, by the way, is in charge of Paul Perhay's broom company in Australia. For the best in entertainment go to Madison Square Garden tonight for the final ap- pearance of Rachel Wachter's Skating Revue. After tonight's show the stars, Jeanette Morgan and Mary Ricker, are giving themselves a world cruise for a vacation. The girls' private secretaries, Frances Harding and Margery Myers are accompanying the skating stars and will take care of any business worries that may arise. Tomorrow night you sport lovers should tune in on the Garden's big boxing bout between Heavyweight Champion Herman Moore and Robert Drummond, the Slugging Wonder. The bout is a ten rounder with the pro- ceeds going to Edith Henthorn, society leader, who is in charge of the Baby Shoe Fund this year. All you racing enthusiasts will be interested to know that VVilliam Ashton, America's speed demon, won his tenth race in two years at Cleveland today. The thousand dollar prize will be equally split between Bill and his designer George Myers, who is also his relief driver. This concludes to- night's News Parade, but I'll be with you again tomorrow night at this same time. Keep your dial set at 700 kilocycles for that master thriller Dishwater Widow. This is Robert Young bidding you all good night. Dishwater Widow is on the air, brought to you by Van Douds, creator of the soap that's gentle to your hands. In yesterday's episode we left Nick Wukeson trailing a cab that Ardella Hill and Madelyn Friedrichs had taken to escape from that famous jewel collector, Ethel Hamilton. But here they are now. XVhile listening to this thrilling drama of life in the big city, I'll try to give you the lowdown on several other old chums. You all remember Ann Kotwis don't you? Ann is writing a play for Producer Alexander France to be used in a Crime Does Not Pay series. But here's my favorite program. Let's listen in. Hollywood Hotel is on the air-Here's the girl at the switchboard-It's Zelda Smith. Suppose we hear what she is saying. Hollywood Hotellthe play to-night is One Man in a Million starring Jack Bowman and Lucille Mayer. The play was written by Frances Rashka with William Hores in charge of production. The gowns for this evening's performance were designed by Goonie that famous New York and Hollywood Modiste. But look, don't we know her? Of course, it's Elsie Porter. Let's step into the Rose Room where announcer Bernard Ray is in- troducing the first number of to-night's show. Charles Zima and his Swingo- maniacs are playing Annie Laurie. Out in the lobby we find Jean Scheetz and Harriett Drake singing Boo Boo, a popular number written by Louise Wind- sheimer. Here's Zelda again telling about next weeks show. Those famous Ochsenbein twins, Jean and Jane are going to give previews of their new show, fittingly called Double Trouble. Joe Mathieu, popular young actor is their leading man. I imagine it will be quite funny watching Joe try to figure out which one he is to marry. Freda Fehr, famous talent scout, will tell all movie struck youngsters how they may become famous cinema stars. IILHSS PRUPHEIIU 'FH
