CLASSES BEG pardon, Mr. Dierwechter? You want to know what's causing the riot down here? Oh, I'm afraid you're calling the wrong floorg there's no riot here, unless you could possibly mean the Sen- iors. We've just finished our final exams, you know, so we decided to reminisce. VVell, perhaps it is a loud way to reminisce. Most peo- ple reminisce quietly with a dreamy look in their eyes, but not the East Rutherford High School Seniors, No sir-ee-bob. We're the most Hhootin' tootin' roarin' lootin' rip- pity rootin' high polutin' galvanu- tin' son of a shootin' bunch of guys and gals that ever you laid eyes on. That is to say, if you can ever keep us in one spot long enough to cast your peepers on us. You see, lots of things happen to us. We can't help it. We're just that kind of people, I guess, so we have lots to talk about. I don't mean common ordinary things like sneaking forty winks behind our English books or raising our hands in history class if we don't know the answer Ccause we discovered long ago that the teacher always thinks you know your lesson when your hand is up and, hence, calls on someone elseb. Those things hap- pen every day. We like to talk about funny things like the day the Tea Leaf Staff went to a conven- tion at Rutgers and, after bidding Miss DeVries goodbye and promis- ing faithfully to go to the two o'clock lecture, the nine of us ,jumped into the car and took a joy ride all over New Brunswick till three. And then. of course, there was our Senior ballot. All the students who were outstanding in this and that were elected by the fellow JUNIOR 1

I don't think you'll regret it too much when you realize that there'll come a day when you'll be pleased at the pride in our voices when we recall the fun we'Ve had at good old East Rutherford High School. HICH is the best year in high school? The Freshman year? Gosh, no, the poor 'Frosh are too busy gingerly testing their liberties and learning how to get the best re- sults with the least studying. The Sophomore year 'Z Wrong again. The Sophs Qaccording to them- selvesl are too sophisticated. The Senior year? Well, with gradua- tion staring you in the face and your marks what they are, how PF' 5
