The play itself was a three-act comedy, and turned out to be a howling success! The action of the play takes place in the living room of Tom and 0ke's college apartment. The time is the most thrilling time of all school days...commence- ment. Tom has had girls thrown at his head until he's become girl-shy. He soon has the reputation of being anwoman-hatern. He wants to shake off his shyness and meets Babs Sanford, a very fascinating as well as beautiful creature. Oke encourages him, but then Tom hears that Babs has sworn to meet him! However, Babs is determined to cure Tom of his shyness and exchanges places with the girl who cleans Tom and Oke's apart- ment, Birdie laVerne.Birdie has aspirations to become an actress, and Babs loans her clothes and secures a screen test for her. Then, Tom's father appears for graduation with his choice of a wife for Tom, Sylvia Webster, and Tom's Aunt Caroline. More comedy interest appears when Tom and Oke manage to nshoven Sylvia onto their lily-faced college poet, Alfred Tennyson Murgatoyd. Tom's father opposes Tom's interest in Babs strongly and thinks that Birdie LaVerne is Babs! How- ever, the whole play has a happy ending and Tom and Babs are united with Tom's father's blessing.

CL SS HISTORY In September 1929, Dorothy Day, Brenda Dorf, David Boyce, Aileen Strabele, and Paul Monachino en- tered the old Elba High School to begin their first school year. They are really the charter members of the Class of 1941. As the years passed on, we acquired more mem- bers. Evangeline Millis joined our class in '31, Ronald Reiss in '33,Jessie Parnell in '34, Katherine Motz in '35, and Alberta Rowcliffe in '37. By the time we entered the eighth grade, we had saved enough money by having candy and bake sales, to buy our class banner. In September of our Freshman year in 1937, we acquired many more members in our class as a result of the school centralization. These members were as follows: Betty Fraser, Dorothy George, Alice Church- ill, Stanley Andrews, Earl Dorman, Howard Bateman, lloyd Mowers, Everett Lucey, and George Pownall. Richard Hill and Paul Bostwick joined our class in '38. In our Freshman year, we held a very successful baked goods sale. During our Sophomore year we suc- cessfully planned and promoted a spaghetti supper. In 1940, as Juniors, we presented a three act comedy, 'That Crazy Smith Family', which was a huge success. Our class had two winners in the 1940 Speaking Con- tests: Betty Fraser, who won second prize in the Girls' Contest, and Ronald Reiss, who won first prize in the Boys' Contest and second prize in the County Speaking Contest. A very enjoyable roller-skating party was held at Rochester also. As Juniors, in June 1940, we presented flowers at Class Night, car- ried arches at Graduation, and prepared and served the Alumni Banquet dinner. Another very successful play, entitled nGirl Shy', was held in our Senior year. Our play profits en- abled us to buy our class rings, announcements and cards. The schoo1's selection for its candidate for Apple Blossom Queen was our classmate, Betty Fraser. On May sixth of this year, we held another very suc- cessful spaghetti supper. During the last two years in high school, we have been under the very able supervision of our good friend and adviser, Mr. Schogoleff. We wish to take this opportunity to thank him sincerely for his wholehearted cooperation in everything we have under- taken. Class Colors ----- Red, White, Blue Class Motto ---- -Our Ammunition Is Ambition Class Flower--American Beauty Rose , 14 SENIORS' REVERIES We've come a long way since September 1929, that first day in school, but we've still a long way to go. There's been fun and there's been work, and even though we've grumbled and we've nkickedV, it's been well worth it. o School days!!!!! looking back over the years, we remember all those great things as well as those little things, and we are proud. We are proud that 'we have met and reached successfully, our first goal. Real education comes with the years. Here in school lwe learn the fundamentals. We are leaving school now and those fundamentals are with every one of us, ready and waiting to be built up and to be of use to us in the life before us. The life before us? It may seem dark at present, but we are young and undaunted, and will face that future with heads up, looking everyone straight in the eye, and doing our part to keep this democracy forever free. Once more we say that we are proud. Here in our school, the flag and its full significance have been stressed again and again. It still waves above our school. May it forever do so. So we leave those corridors which have echoed our footsteps through the years, and those classrooms which were filled with our voices, and our teachers and classmates, whom we have grown to know and treat as true friends, and our school, our 'second home', and say, nGoodbyen.
