s-If 4. qw.. We 0 , s .trip QC A, O Nur 'sw' Winter As the rust and gold of fall are replaced by winter's wardrobe of black and white, the somber landscape is brightened by: multicolored Christmas lights and garishly painted advertisements urging shoppers to spend their money earlyg the sound of muffled shouts rising from a crowded gym as a basketball is dribbled down the floor and swishes triumphantly through the basketg sparkling diamonds which cover the whole world the morning after a snow stormg bright flashes of color as skaters skim happily over a safely-frozen pondg joyful laughter of little children marveling over the toys left by their Christmas Eve visitorg the haunting strains of White Christmas coming from the radiog the bells and horns of New Years Eveg steaming cups of creamy hot cocoa served before an open blaze after a hard afternoon of sleddingg big and little boys and girls looking shyly at each other as Valentine boxes are opened and their contents de- liveredg a good patriotic feeling which arises from programs which celebrate the birthdays of Washing- ton and Lincoln and reaffirm our belief that we do live in a nation under God which must not perish from the earth.

Juninrs 'Y Miss Rubino XVinter is an exciting time bringing gay parties, sled riding, and the thrilling basketball games enjoyed by our juniors. just to be certain that winter was ushered in formally the juniors sponsored the November Dance and called it Con Capers. What 601111, they have been thinking of? Bill Willianis' Orchestra supplied the dance music for this Atliair a la Alcatraz, and the floorshow skit was A Model Prison, a very excellent drama prepared by the convi- juniors, we mean. Two of the lifers -Fran Vidil and Sammy De Rosa entertained the prison visitors, many of whom were hauled up before the Kangaroo Court. The Court,s most notable arrest was Mr. Nevin! He was hned 25C for being tardy. Later in the winter after the shadow of horizontal stripes had passed from their eyes, the juniors turned their attention to their class pins which were ordered in january just before semester exams reared their ugly heads. As they sat in study halls and Watched the snow pile up on the window sills and saw an occasional bird in and out among the flakes, all of these daydreaming juniors were thinking of just one thing-the PROM, the biggest and best one ever to be held by old E. H. S. The girls were planning the most glamorous type of gown to buy and just how to get the right boy to pop the right question at the right time. The boys were Hguring a budget that would include a corsage--a new suit-and after-prom expenses. Both boys and girls were trying to agree on who would make the most beautiful queen to succeed the lovely Queen Delores. The longer they dreamed, the nearer spring came, and as they sank into unconsciousness they could hear the duleet strains of Tommy Carlyn's band as they danced romantically-in Paris-in April. Hey! What was that! Oh, O. K. Miss Rubino, we're going to start rolling that crepe paper right away.
