SENioR PLAY YOUTH TAKES OVER Youth Takes Over by Finch and Smith - - a frolicsome humorous comedy, was presented as this year's Senior Play. The scene takes place in the principals office of George Washington High School. Albert Williams, a high spirited, l6-year-old boy, is at the principals desk, running a carnival, for the purpose of raising money for the League for Young Citizens. Much of the success of the play was due to the able direction of Mrs. Elvira D. Pulver, to Whom the cast and Senior Class express their sincere appreciation. Large audiences at both evening and afternoon performances helped make this play one of the most outstanding successes in several years. S., 1943 i231

H1sToRY or THE CLASS or 1943 The class of '43, the first class to graduate under the new wartime sys- tem, believes that it has done its best for its school and for its country. We cannot deny that at times we have fallen short of perfection in the eyes of the faculty, but it was only because our newly acquired halos slipped a little. That we are an exceptional class cannot be denied when one looks at the brilliant record we have set for the underclassmen. As Freshmen we quickly dispensed with the business at hand, that of electing officers. Peter Gross became our President, lean Becker our vice- president, lohn Harder our secretary, and Thomas Dunn our treasurer. We early developed an interest in the welfare of others,and showed it by sponsoring the Children's Cru- sade for Children to aid children in war-torn countries. Our Sophomore year saw us becoming organized as a class. Under the guidance of Mr. Kufs We elected the following officers: President, Robert Radley, Vice President, Iohn Harder: Secretary, lean Becker, and Treasurer, Barbara Nordman. These officers, with the exception of lohn Harder, who was replaced by Thomas Dunn, served us faithfully through the rest of our high school careers. At the beginning of the year we held our first annual football dance, an event that was destined to become a tradition in C.H.S. The upperclassmen did their best to try to discover our new class colors, but until Arbor Day, when we brought forth our banner of Navy Blue and Gold, our secret had not been revealed. As luniors we started the school year with our second annual football dance. Once again, we set a precedent by being the first class to donate money to the U. S. Treasury. Spring brought us the responsibility of making Arbor Day and the Iunior Prom memorable occasions for the class of '4Z. Much to the regret of the class, Mr. Kufs, our friend and adviser, left us, but we were fortunate in securing Miss Potter to guide us through our last year. We started our Senior year with a bang, when, with the largest cast in the history of the school, we presented the Senior play, Youth Takes Over . It was in this year that we really distinguished our- selves as patriotic Americans. In addition to the regular number of students who come and go, we point with pride to our service flag containing 19 stars. In lanuary We graduated five of our boys: Peter' Gross, now at R.P.I.p George Wilbur, Lloyd Goodrich, Wright Garvey, and William Van Pelt, all in the U. S. Navy: and gained one, Boy Strever, through the new speeded-up program. We are equally proud of our former classmates who previously responded to the call to the colors. The U. S., Army, claims Robert DeVane, Arthur Westover, Bruce Maxwell and Fred Hoffman. Charles Every is in the U. S. Marine Corps. With the U. S. Navy are William Calhoun, Richard Lobdell, Fred Coz- zolino, Donald Bartow, Harold Golden, Iohn Lang, Spencer Moccio, Samuel Kaplan and Theodore Owen. Now with our goal, graduation, in sight, We are filled with gratitude for the school that has so fully prepared us to take our places in this uncertain world. C.H.S., 1943 E251
