Dick Saunders said: “We’ll have something cheap like gingerale and potato chips?” Mr. Parish treated the cast of “Happy-Go-Lucky” to cheerios? Herman got the thrill of his life in New York City? Ansel and Dick had their beds short-sheeted? Grace and Elizabeth had water poured to them from out the hotel window? We got stuck with phony quarters in New York City? The boys got scolded by the hotel manager and the bellhop? Ansel got a pile of snow in his face at play rehearsal? Jean was the director of the play? Paul took “those” pictures and smoked cigars in New York City? Bob lost his invention and then found it in his coat pocket? Ansel and Dick slept till noon in New York City? Perhaps the people below (El. and Gr.) kept them awake all night. Line jumped off the stage at play rehearsal? Miss Carnahan got the mumps and couldn’t go to New York City with us? Some of the class got off the bus at 3 a. m., Saturday morning, and walked up the “mountain”? We had a heated argument about caps and gowns? Dick lost his monocle? Mr. Hemink told everyone to be in the lobby of the hotel at 8:30—and walks in late? (The hotel manager forgot to ring his room.) Jane and Jean were frightened in their room in New York City at 3 a.m.?

Page U THESAGA She Saga of a Glass, 1937 On Friday evening, October 30, 1936, the Senior class of Parker High began the campaign to raise money for their trip by giving a very successful Hallowe’en party in the old gymnasium. The party was very informal; games were played, followed by dancing and refreshments. The following Tuesday, Election Day, various Seniors sold tags at the Odd Fellows’ Hall. We now started work in earnest. We sold both candy and magazine subscriptions. On December 19, the class gave its first party in the new gymnasium. An added attraction was the floor show produced under Mr. Hemink’s direction with all school talent. We distinctly remember the moment when Hob, who was not satisfied with some of his super-lighting effects, scooted across the floor while Messrs. Fisher, Beard, Saunders, and Moore were rendering a ballad ?). After the Christmas vacation everyone started studying for the mid-year exams and regents. These duly passed—or flunked—our attention was then turned to the first big dance of the year. More extensive preparations were made for this than for the other two parties. The dance, held on February 12, was a success. Effective decorations of red and white hearts and crepe paper carried out the Valentine spirit. Homemade ice cream and cake were served. A great many Seniors complained of sore muscles after turning the ice cream freezers. Immediately after the dance, twelve Seniors seemed to be going about with a private joke of their own. Such expressions as “Miss Chryl Druel,” “Well, all’s I can say is—” which were meaningless to everyone else, floated from everywhere, and each time they did so, a burst of laughter came from any number of those twelve. Rut, after all, it was nothing—just the Senior play in rehearsal. On March 25, after five weeks of extensive practice under Mr. Parish’s direction, “Happy-Go-Lucky” went off with “nary a hitch ” At 5:45 a. m.. five days later, a chartered Greyhound bus left the front of the school building. In it were twenty-six Seniors, our adviser, Mrs. Irwin, and Mr. Hemink. After a very quiet—yes, actually—ride, with but one mishap about twenty-five miles from New York, the metropolis was reached, and at 7:10 p. m., the class found themselves and their luggage— mostly luggage—in the lobby of the Cornish Arms Hotel on 23rd Street and Eighth Avenue. The next three days were filled with sight-seeing, movies, and looking over the “big town.” At midnight, Friday, of the same week, we started home again. This trip was also noted for its quietness, but of a different kind. No one had enough strength left to make much noise. For a month the Seniors did little as a class, but the second week in May, plans for the Spring Prom were forming. The week of the Prom, all was confusion. Crepe paper and balloons were the decorations used to beautify the gymnasium, and that turned out to be quite a nerve-racking job, but the evening of the 21st, all worry was over. The dancers made a pretty picture as the different colored lights played upon the evening dresses and light suits. When the dance finally ended, it was raining hard, but nothing could dampen the high spirits of those who had enjoyed an evening of gaiety and lightheartedness. Without the kind and ceaseless efforts of Mrs. Irwin during this past year, we do not feel that we could have made such a success of our class. We shall always remember how hard she worked for us, and we wish her all the happiness this world can bring.
