THE BLUE AND WHITE sessions for a time - all too short a time for those who look back with pleasure upon afternoons spent in quiet relaxation after a morning's work at school. Autumn came, bringing thoughts of football and high spiritsj On the team we were represented by Larry lvlulvaney, who played first-string center. Will any of our class ever forget how close we came to losing our lone representative when report cards came out that marking period? Ah, but then, my classmates and I, we don't talk about that. Next I remember everyone hurrying about, each intent upon his own affairs and adding to the general confusion which marked graduation. Because of the smallness of our class, every person was on a graduation committee. Numerous plans had to be made and, above all, graduation pictures had to be taken. The proofs were the cause of many a sleepless night. In school, straight-forward young men and women were transformed into scheming wretches in the general effort to get rid of these pictures. It was rumored about, though I never believed it myself, that Herbert jones was giving away a season pass to the Arcade theater with every one of his photographs. Then one afternoon when our homeroom was almost empty, a freshman walked up to me and asked what I thought of the chances of getting Lewis Tapp's after- school job. What job, I inquired. You know, he said, the work he does after school every day in IO5.ll Patiently I explained to the fellow that Lewis wasn't employed by the school in the detention room, but only attended regular sessions there. Why, I almost forgot where I am. In a moment now I will be getting my diploma. Say, that soldier in uniform over there makes me think of Leo DeSotell and jack Gotthart, who left our class a few weeks before graduation to join the marines. I wonder if they're here now. I'll bet they are, and sporting their new out- fits too. Those marine uniforms always did make a hit with the girls. Well, it's my turn now. As I step up to receive my diploma, a series of pictures races through my mind. I see the flagpole as it is at dismissal time surrounded by groups of yelling pupils, I see Mr. Ed. Smith joking with his class from his perch on a front deskg I see Ivlr. Hill raising himself on his toes to emphasize a point he is making in an assembly hall talk, and then I see the whole school singing carols in the auditorium at Christ- mas time. Three fine years of work and play these have been. We'll never forget them. GEORGE USDANSKY, Chairman SIBILLA ERNST IVIARJORIE BICKNELL LAST BIT OF HISTORY- CLASS PARTY FEB. 1942 1241

The CLASS OF Io4IM leave some very sound advice to those who do not wish to be left holding the bag. Save your Student Treasury receipts because the day will come when you'll need them. As the last will and testament of the Class of IQ4I M and in the presence of us, the undersigned, who have drawn up and signed as witnesses to the same, we leave this colossal document to Classical High School. lSigned1, IRIS ROTH, Chairman RICHARD ELLIOT RUTH LASTER RI-IODA COHEN The Prophecy of the Class of 19415 Hello civilization. This is station C.H.S.G. broad- casting from Classicalonia. I am standing on the main street of our thriving little town, interviewing the passersby. For it was just twenty years ago in IQ4I that we graduated from Classical High School and founded Classicalonia. Together our class beat a track into the wilderness, blazing the trail with for- gotten detention slips and unused passes. After se- lecting the site and rolling Larry Iviulvancy over the ground to clear it, we built the houses to the chants IChatanooga Choo Chooj of Iris Roth, Bernice Horo- witz, and Frances Borich. Oh the suffering of those early years. However, today you will hear from those brave pioneers. I-Iere is one of them now. It is our eminent mayor, Harold Webber, who was elected on the platform What this country needs is five cents. NVould your honor care to say a few words? Thank you, My friends. If I am elected, I will abolish report cards, teachers, books. I will destroy taxes, I will -O heck, I'll wreck the joint. Thank you, mayor. I am sure your Wise words were heeded by the listeners. And now we have with us that learned gentleman, Professor Lewis Tapp, presi- dent of Eezeelife University. As you know, he re- formed the school system by holding classes from z:oo to 3:oo. Can you give us your reason, professor? Certainly, While at Classical High School, I developed an apitude for doing all my work at that time in a room numbered IOS. That is also the reason for the IOS on my study walls. It makes it more homelike. Hello, proff, what- cha doing here. Got you cornered, hey? Let me say something. Folks, this is Larry Mulvaney speaking to you. The team I'm coaching this year at Eezeelife University will win the title or I'll eat my hat. Never did like that hat anyway. Ladies and gentle- men, that was coach Lawrence Mulvaney speaking to you. But now I see the great busi- ness magnate William McManus, whose offices are on Fence Street. He is surrounded by his secretaries who are taking dictation at a mad rate, for he dictates night and morning. In his sleep he has a dictaphone attached to record his dreams. The able secretaries are Rhoda Cohen and Georgia johnson. Herbie jones, who used to work for him, now works for his wife, Wyonella Green, who certainly keeps him busy. Have ..26..
