FRESHMAN RECEPTION Back in September on all the blackboards in C. H. S. appeared the sign, “Come to the Freshman Reception.” When each freshman arrived, he received a green bow as an all too evident indicator. Also he acquired a tiny slip of paper with a number on it. The number was the source of much wonderment. All evening the freshmen, having lots of fun, danced to a batch of new records when—suddenly—the zero hour! “Emcee” Vernon Skarke stepped to the “mike” and very nonchalantly announced, “Will the freshmen please gather at the foot of the stage for a bit of fun? We’re going to play Truth or Consequences!” The freshmen thought it was a bit unfair, not having a question to answer, but “just consequences” turned out to be “just fun.” A few questions resulted in shy boys dancing with Miss Fletcher, Miss Schermer-horn. Miss Gibson, and Miss Newman, and a very shy boy telling Califern Tyrrell three times that he loved her. Well, there was a bit of humor, wasn’t there???? Such was the evening labeled “Freshman Reception.” HOMECOMING Following the homecoming game on October 27, C. H. S. gave a homecoming dance for students, alumni, and friends of the school. Finding no decorations in the making, a volunteer committee of juniors and seniors proceeded, under the direction of Miss Schermerhorn, faculty member in charge, to give the gym a “party face.” Megaphones, footballs, and names of players in the colors of C. H. S. and Plymouth High were apparent on the walls. Below the rear basket in conspicuous blue and gold letters was the inscription, “Welcome Alumni.” The music, furnished by world-famous dance bands, included arrangements by Sammy Kaye, Tommy Dorsey and Kay Kyser. Needless to say, their bands came to C. H. S. through the courtesy of little waxed platters purchased especially for that occasion. During the course of the evening, a girls’ double trio, composed of Adeline Meyers, Ruth Ninow, Valeria Groeschel, Betty Ritzke, Colexia Halfman and Joyce Smith, accompanied by Joan Woelfel, were featured in a “floor show” attraction. In addition, Ruth Ann Mescar, ’44, home from the University, entertained the dancers with her talented comedy act. Joyce Smith acted as mistress of ceremonies.

In consequence each member of the staff interviewed teachers, tracked down new information, and wrote and re-wrote articles in an attempt to beat the dead-line. For the past few years it has been customary to have the HILLCREST printed in regular newspaper print. However, this year the staff undertook the complete production of the paper. This innovation was made in conjunction with the commercial department because the experiences afforded the students in typing, mimeographing and assembling the paper were thought to be valuable training for the future office worker. The HILLCREST staff for this year was composed of approximately 30 members, including the editors, department editors, reporters and typists. At the fall election Agnes McHale and Audrey Maas were chosen editor and assistant editor. During the course of the year they resigned. Joan Rehrauer and Pat Murphy were elected to fill the vacated posts. The HILLCREST staff was under the management of Miss Gibson. 23
