Mair and Eleanor Peterson gave very success- ful humorous monologues. Eugene Kuzmiak played a difficult piano selection. Mr. Kuzmiak, a graduate of Clifton High, is now a student at the Damrosch Institute. The Senior Class successfully conducted an assembly on December 2. The flag salute was led and announcements made by Dot Howard. William Quackenbush read the Bible and led the school in the Lord’s prayer. Betty Lamber- son introduced the speaker, Mr. Paul Clark, of the Pace and Pace school of Accountancy. Mr. Whiting made it possible for us to view the workings of a New ork Telephone Co. office on December 17. An exhibition consisting of dummy switch-boards allowed us to see just how calls are handled. Christmas was celebrated on December 22. A quartet composed of Hertha Sandig, Marie Jorlett, Franklin Cross and Jacob Kuliek gave two fine selections. Interesting recitations were also given. The graduating classes of the school had their farewell assembly on January 26. Seven pupils received certificates for completing the 2-year Commercial Course. The 37 graduates of the 4-year courses were also on the stage. The foot- ball and track letters were awarded at this as- sembly. The orchestra has played selections at all assemblies. Its members deserve a great deal of credit for what they have accomplished. Instead of the usual Reflector Rally, members of the staff have spoken at different times. Those who have spoken are: Robert Caverly, Editor-in-Chief; Warren Piaget, Literature; Betty Lamberson, Literature; Maude Andras, Reflections; Dot Howard, School News; Harold Lentz, Advertisements. We hope many more interesting assemblies will be held, although many of us regret we can- not be present at them. Dot Howard, Feb. ’27. 1 A(JE TWENTY-SEVEN

THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON HIGH SCHOOL F E B R U A R Y. 1 9 2 7, SENIOR SEC TION ■ 923 HISTORY OF THE FEBRUARY CLASS OF 1927 We were meek and scared, just like every other class of incoming Freshmen, on that cer- tain day in February, 1924. And, yes, we sup- pose that that meekness wore off, and we became as noisy, after a few weeks, as any boisterous Sophomore, and yet looked up to the Seniors and longed for the day that we should be in their places. We were very fortunate indeed to have been given over to the sponsorship of Mrs. Henry Smith (then Miss Clara Sharp). She took care of our class and worried about it for three and one-half years as if it had been her very own child. The class, composed of 42 members, elected William Quackenbusli as Freshman president at its first meeting. We did the usual run of things that year, and held various sales with the object of raising money. Robert Caverly was our Sophomore president. Our activities this year were similar to the pre- vious year’s. Freshman and Sophomore classes are usually inactive, though our sales brought us good profits. It was between our second and third years that the wedding bells chimed for Miss Sharp, hut she remained with us for a year and a half more. Arthur Rigolo was elected to guide us through our Junior year, which is always con- nected with the greatest of high school social events, the Junior From. We had planned to hold it in the fall, but the high school body had just moved into the present new building and, because of its incompletion and of the general unsettled condition of things, we could not hold to our decision. Consequently, we had to hold it in our Senior year,—the following spring. And. incidentally, we have the honor of having given the first dance in the school gymnasium. In this year we made a goodly sum of money selling personal greeting cards. Betty I.ambertson led us through our busiest and last year. At the end of this spring term Mrs. Smith left us and we chose Miss Hill as our sponsor. We seem to have a knack of get- ting energetic sponsors. Miss Hill’s master- piece was the Senior play, which she coached. “Kempy” was the comedy we enacted, and in spite of the fact that we had such a small num- ber from which to choose our players, the play was a decided success, pronounced so by people other than ourselves. It contributed to our treasury more than anything else did and made possible that delightful Washington trip,—those three days to which we had expectantly looked forward for almost four years! That trip was wonderful! It was wonderful from an education- al standpoint; it was wonderful from a recrea- tional standpoint; it was wonderful from every standpoint. A trip like that would do a football team good. It binds the members together irre- sistibly and firmly. It did that to ns,—and just a month or so before we were to separate, some of us perhaps never to see each other again. F'ew freshmen really know the true motive behind a principal’s or teacher’s reprimand or hard words here and there; and few understand, know, and appreciate the duties of the members of the faculty. One has to become a Senior to do that. We Seniors do. Therefore, from such a position favorable to appreciation, we wish to thank Mr. Nutt, teachers, assistants, and sub- stitutes for all they have done for us. And we thus bring to a close four years in which we have grown from children to men and women. A. Rigolo, Feb. ’27. PAGE TWENTY-NINE
