V7 ood SST' FO -'C T LAST the moment to which we have Xbeen looking forward for the past four years has come. lt has been a long, hard struggle, but on this day of mem- ories we are all very happy because we have reached our goal. From the very first day of our freshman year we have grown physically and mentally, for we have had an excellent education. The Beauty Culture girls are proud to hold the title of Morale Builders. We have undertaken the important task of keeping women beautiful and of taking the places of those beauticians who have entered the service. ln other ways, too, we have not been idle or content to let the war take its own course. Our girls have participated in many drives for the Bed Cross, National War Eund, collection of clothing and scrap. We also have a group of blood donors. Years from now when we look back over our school days for memories of the past, many pleasant ones will flash before us. There will be the trip to Central Park to see the War Exhibit from which we learned much about the actual conditions of warfare and what situations our brothers and friends are meeting. Our fifth term English work included a Whos Who autobiography project which class history was most enjoyable and through which we were able to know more about our school- mates. ln the sixth term we learned more about our city by preparing an interesting booklet called Around New York with the 5-7-8 BC. This was presented to the library for the use of the students. We shall never forget our History of Hair Styles, a combined project of the English and history departments. lt required work on our part, but it was worth every second, for it inspired us to do more research and also better hair styling. Other highlights in our four years were our visit to the Pennsylvania Hotel to see the exhibit of hair styling sponsored by the Hair- dressers' Association, and the demonstra- tions of cold wave permanents, hair dyeing, and hair styling given in our school by well- known cosmetic firms. Last but not least, our graduate theater party on May l8, to see Dear Ruth will stand out in our memories. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay in East New York and will always look back upon it as the happiest four years of our lives. Because of the fine help received from the faculty, we feel we can take our places in the serious life of our large com- munity as patriotic and efficient citizens.

N DEEP SILENCE we entered the hallowed H halls of East New York on that first Sep- tember day, happy at last, for our dreams were coming true. These were soon to be shattered by the Safety Test, that devil- ishly ingenious torturel Grueling hours dragged by, and then the bell for lunch, a cloud of dust from flying feet, and the long race down the hall to our final goal, the Cafeterial This set the pattern for weeks to come. Then came weeks filled with the mo- notony of drawing plans, but soon, as if by magic, our boats began to form. At this time we realized the tremendous opportuni- ties offered to us. We had plenty of wood and tools, and before long each boy had his own room pass. ln the fourth term, we prepared to build bigger and better boats. It was during this term that we completed the racing sailboat which for two weeks shared top billing with the auto chassis in the lobby. We also had our first experience at decking, which we did very well. Fifth term found us transferred to the ad- vanced shop where we started drawing plans which we completed just in time for class history I I the shift back to our old shop. Returned to the advanced shop in the sixth term, we laid out the plans for two sixteen-foot canoes which we were lucky enough to pass on to the next class. Some of us worked on the thirty-foot Cabin Cruiserg this gave us a chance to try our skill at cabinet-making. We made panels, hatches, bulkheads and bunks fthe less am- bitious got plenty of practice trying out the bunksll Seniors at lastl The first day at school found us all at the G. O. store. What for? Why, to buy senior buttons, of coursel Being seniors must have done something for us- we had lOOU'2, G. O. for the first time, and in addition, we more than doubled our War Bond quota. Our shop seemed enormous this term because of the absence of the cruiser. Work, work, workl For the first time in ages everyone worked, even the confirmed loafers. The green and orange and white strips on the efficiency chart must have done the trick. That is one of the things we'll never forget, along with Mr. Tritschler's im- mortal words, Who has my keys? and the ready reply, Look in your pocket. .-.ii S DOJSSOJO Q.
