THE ECHO Vi! IO! Senior Class Poem The cadence most marked in our musical score Approaches. Four years we have fashioned the notes Five lines of the saff have been aiding our work. Each musical sign an advancement denotes, The staff, our support, is five bars firm and strong: Our principals. teachers, parents. our friends. And neighbors. To these we shall always give thanks By these have we fashioned each clear chord that blends Four years have we spent in these halls, F. H. S. Each deed was a note in the song. ln the tune Uf our lives this will be but a part-a phrase. Brief and pithy. yet beauty its goal. Regretful we come to the end of this phraseg Reminiscing we know it will often return. And though in this score we have made our mistakes, By care we'll improve and apply what we learn. Though discords are many and frequent the rests, This part of the song with delight we'll review lVhen finally each of us draws double bars. If then we may say to the theme we've been true. ROSELLE KAHN, with the class of ,33 25

THE Ecno W1 ww f Class History N the fall of 1929 the present senior class entered the Flemington High School as freshmen. At the beginning of our sophomore year the present junior high school began to function, eliminating the freshman class and placing us in the unique position of being the last freshman class to enter the senior high school. This distinction had its drawbacks because by this change we lost in our sopho- more year the long awaited pleasure of baiting those who would have been the new freshmen. Like Shakespeare, the first period of our high school life was spent in copying and experimenting. Perhaps we were too skilled in the art of mimicry, for the upperclassmen soon labeled us as the most audacious of freshmen. Although we did not play a large part in the activities of the school. we did prove good hosts at the Christmas dance. lt can truthfully be said that our first year of breaking new ground and laying foundations for lasting friendship was a happy one. We reassembled for the sophomore year to find, a vacant place in our ranks, the depth of which will never be determined. The death of our classmate, Anna Pavlica, left us sad and depressed. Her sunny smile and willing disposition were sadly missing. The memory of her courage helped to inspire us to greater things. The school year of 1930-1931 was, we believe. one of the most eventful in the history of the school. The supervised study plan was instituted then, to our joy and the teachers' woe. The Student Council, Student Voice, School News, Band, and Key Klickers were all organized in our sophomore year, with our members taking an important part. NVe returned for the junior year with high hopes and ambitions, One of the first things that occupied our attention was the selection of class rings, and of course it was entirely unintentional on our part that our hands were very much on display. Another important event of our junior year was the selection of the cast for, and the production of, the junior-senior play. Members of our class were now eligible to try out. and several of them received prominent parts. The crowning event of our third year, however, was the Junior Promenade. The auditorium was arranged as a casino with tables along the sides. The tables were separated from the dance Hoor by fancy and original lattice-work. It was with mixed feeling that we returned for our last year. Contrary to the usual custom, we did not earn the name of dignified seniors. Our attention was immediately turned toward the publication of the Echo, one of the biggest responsibilities of our last year in high school. In the cast of the musical comedy, several members of our class had parts as principals and many others were in the choruses. Immediately after the Easter vacation many of us departed on our Washington trip. Too soon commencement week arrived 3 we met as a class for the last time, and each had to go his separate way. 26
