SCHOOL NEWS HE June Class of 1923 has had little excitement this year, except at class meetings, when the entire class talks at once. Hot dog sales, held weekly since January, have maintained the health of the treasury. The cost of a free dance given in May, was defrayed by the sale of refreshments donated by the members of the class. In response to a request made by Mr. Nutt for library donations, the class voted to give $10; and the regular “ad” in the REFLECTOR was also subscribed. At the June Field Meet, the class secured 12 points, and succeeded in tying, in a few events. Generally speaking, the year has been profitably employed, and the class feels that it has made the most of its second High School year. On the evening of March 7th and the afternoon and evening of March 8th, 1921, the 4-2 Class of Clifton High School gave a circus in the High School Building. Two main performances were given each evening in the assembly hall. One matinee performance was given on Friday the 8th. Side shows held in the various rooms added much to the entertainment of those present. Refreshments of all sorts were served in some of the rooms and “hot dogs” were sold in the corridors. Music was furnished during the course of the evening for dancing. For those who desired “a glimpse into the future,” two veritable for- tune tellers were present. The Senior 2 Class took a trip on May 25th. They left Clifton on the 8.01 train and arriving in New York boarded a sight-seeing bus which took them through down-town and up-town New York. They had lunch at the Automat, after which they went to the Belasco Theatre where they enjoyed the matinee performance of the “Bat.” After the play the class visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral and then dined at an Italian restaurant. Next they took a subway up to 125th Street and the Fort Lee Ferry for Palisades Park. An enjoyable evening was spent here by everyone. On account of the long distance home they left the park at an early hour. seventeen

The Junior 2 Class held a dance on Friday evening, April 22, at Masonic Hall. It was a success both socially and financially. Re- freshments, consisting of punch and ice cream, were served. The music was furnished by Healy’s Orchestra. The Junior 2 Prom which was held at Masonic Hall, Friday even- ing, May 1 3, was a decided success. The hall was very effectively decorated in green and white, the class colors. In spite of the rainy weather, a very large crowd attended. Punch was served. The Liberty Jazz Orchestra furnished the fine music, which helped to make the affair a success. During the past term the Junior 2 Class held a number of fruit sales. Apples and oranges were sold to the students at reasonable prices. These sales helped in increase the class funds. Plans are being made by the Junior 2 Class for a trip up the Hud- son, sometime after the examinations. This will be the last event of the class this year ¥ The Junior 3-1 Class held their first evening dance, Friday evening. May 6. It was a great success. The 2-1 Class, this term, as in the year before, held a Rosebush Sale, and the profits, due to the excellent quality of the bushes, were far more than those of the previous year. On the first Wednesday in April, the class gave an afternoon dance, which was well attended and proved to be a success. On the 22nd of June the two year business students will be the guests of the four year students on a trip up the Hudson to West Point. ¥ The Freshmen 1-2 Class held a very enjoyable afternoon dance this last semester. Refreshments were sold and the peanut hunt was a big success. It must also be said that the Freshmen 1-2 Class had the highest point in the Field Day Meet. ¥ The Freshmen 1-1 of Clifton High School gave an afternoon dance during the month of April, 1921. Punch and cake were sold, and music was furnished by Miss Spencer and Miss G. Conners. eigli teen
