he 1-lack I I The Beginning of an End Four acts with many scenes have brought us from the year 1933 to the present year of 1937 when we pause for a short while to look back over our varied experiences and social endeavors. Act I: Freshman Year. XXfith Myra Huberth as our president, we started bravely, though only four in number, to make our first year successful. A roller skating party and fortune hunt were given by our class in the fall, and winning hrst place in the swim- ming meet, and second in hockey and basketball, we felt we had contributed to the upward journey that was before us. Act II: Sophomore Year. Upon our arrival at school the next fall, we found that we were now nine in number, and it added to our dignity to weather the freshmen through the first trying month. Sally Lamparter led us as president, and we fought valiantly to claim our share in athletics and other events. This it seemed was of no avail, but we planned a sweet revenge in our activities of the future. Act Ill: The -junior Class. Sixteen healthy juniors greeted each other in September 1935. Again presi- dential elections took place and Carol Slaughter came out on top. Several social functions had been planned such as the junior-Senior banquet and always the three sorority dances. So school went merrily on until june when we once again parted for the summer vacation. Act IV, and Last. The Senior Class. And now comes the very worthy class of 1937. From every side you may see dignified seniors walking to and from appointments and in the last semester taking full advantage of the senior privileges which they have just acquired. Doris Stratton is our president. W'ith her at our head, we await that day in june when we are pronounced graduate-s . And now a great flood of memories crowd our minds-teas, dances, vacations, Bill's hamburger stand, and then dearest and most precious to all of us, the friends which we call ours. And so finally comes, as it must, the end of another happy year. With all the excitement, tears and warm smiles of parents and classmates, the class of 1937 goes on. Om' HuwrIrr'rl and Nine

l l hflltfh l l i- . L will Bram the iturtain and Show the l?icture Crash!!-South Hall Sadie, Class of '37, bucks the mob of people rapidly collecting in Times Square about two figures, one, indignant, bellowing at an unruffled adversary standing with head wagging from side to side, one hand twirling an immense key dangling from a magnificent gold chain. The latter speaks, drawing from her pocket a pad and pencil. Could you give me an interview? Yes, Kinsey has crashed through again, this time smashing only two cars in an effort to secure Einstein's latest theory on '!How to Solve the Intricacies of Geometry in Eight Short Lessons. Sadie, recognizing that drawl she knew so well ten long years back at Centenary, rushes up to Ginger to snatch that unworried reporter from the abuse of the furious Einstein. They pull their hats down over their faces, yank up their coat collars, and duck through the mob to the seclusion of Gingeris apartment. After giggling over mem- ories of the day the barn was painted, Ginger suddenly reveals that she spent her last vacation visiting every member of '37, greeting each with the grind of her famous little pocket movie-camera which candidly registered evidence of their present occupation. Sadie insists on being allowed the privilege of gazing on her former classmates, so out comes Ginger's projection screen, lights are dimmed, and Sadie sees first Marie Seaman, back in the familiar English room at C. C. I., only now occupying the teacher's place! She's expounding her knowledge of Hamlet to a class of bored seniors! The scene changes to station KUKU where Al Siegmund is extolling the virtues of Gorton's Codfish Cakes, and explaining to gullible housewives the facts about the fertility of eggs. She holds everything while a new flash from airline hostess, Johnnie Herman fshe's on the California-Virginia routefwouldn't you know it!j comes through with the sensational news that Miss Helen Littell, the famous ice-skater, is eloping aboard her plane with an eminent chemistry professor from the South. Flashed upon the screen next is a scene of Say it With Flowers , where june Little, better known around the set as Beulah, the script girl, is prompting said play, which stars matinee idol Phill Stoarke. A hgure reminiscent of Beatrice Lilly is seen amusing the prop men with imitations of the castfwhy, my dear! Bea Lilly is definitely passe since Carol Slaughter landed feet Hrst on the stage! Then, on board the Nowvmmlie, Sadie sees Bobbie Rundell and Dot Merkel ex- claiming over the coincidence of being fellow-passengers bound for Paris. Dot, a buyer for Best 8: Company, is on her way to get the real low-down on Schiaparelli's time-saving innovation for the busy American girl, a combination flying costume, bathing suit, and One Hoimli-mi and Ten
