Midyear Clam in Lam? FIUT731 Of Activizy Bqfore Commencement Graduation is the ambition of every stuf dent upon entering high school. Soon the February class of 1948 will make its way down the aisles of Armstrong Hall, ascend the stage to receive diplomas. The students in whom the graduating class placed their support and approval by electing him to the important ofhce of president is Donald jackson. Also elected to important senior oflices were Clara Alexander, vice' president, Mary Frances Welsh, secf retaryg Barbara'Daif gre, treasurer, and Nancy Daigre, prof gram chairman. The 4A division teachers, Mrs. Winif fred Wagner, head of the hall, Miss Bea' trice Mathauser, Mrs. Mary Cooper, Mrs. Florence Spring, Mrs. Alice Storer, Miss Tillie Solfermoser and Miss Clara Taylor have endeavored to aid and counsel the students during the year and a half they have worked with them. The forthcoming graduation is an im' portant event for Miss Taylor, who has served as a teacher in Englewood for MRS. WINIFRED WAGNER thirtyfnine years and who is retiring. In her long years at Englewood Miss Taylor, herself a graduate of Englewood, is more than a teacher, she is a symbol of Engle' wood and will never be forgotten by her pupils and fellow teachers. As the semester opened the graduating students began to look with eagerness towards the approaching graduation ref hearsals. They all knew that the gradua' tion ceremonies would be unique because Mr. Thompson had sent to New York es' pecially for materials. And they were not too surprised when in November rehearsal commenced and they learned that the major number on the graduation program would be an elaborate cantata entitled Two Americas . Although there was much excitement over rehearsals there was also a great deal of interest in the fall play, A Midsummer Night's Dream , presented at Kimball Hall November 15, and in the annual theater party at the Goodman Theatre. All tickets were sold out well in advance of the perf formance of the Show Cffw. Making their way into the world after graduation, many of the graduates will be' come doctors, teachers, and sales persons. Whether or not they ever return to Englef wood they will remember Englewood . . . as their place of enjoyment and their place of study but above all Page 30 . . . as their school. -KENNETH GLASSMAN.
