Pa: Yestiddy — Darn this mail service. We could’ave saddled up our mule an’ gone down to see the gang. Shucks! Ma: Gee, woud’a been nice seein’ everybody. I got an idea. Let’s get out the old year book and look over our ole prison days. Pa: O.K. Wharisit? Ma: Last I knew it was balancing the short leg on the table you made me. Pa: Oh Yeh, here t’is. Ma: The Evergreen — Ha! What fun they had namin’ it. They had three names — Green Years, Avalanche, and Schoholo. Our editor sug¬ gested mixin’ ’em ’n came up with Scholavaleen. Wonder why they didn’t use it. Couldn’t spell it, I guess. Pa: Lookee! Here’s Lou Bush. Remember the day he came school slightly bruised after reffing a football game. Must ’ave had a rough time. Ma: I always wanted to see some one hitch their Bunsen burner up to the water jet thar in chemistry. Everythin’ else happened. Pa: Larry Davis and Ed Day just about blew the lab up one day, didn’t they? Ma: Un huh. And remember the day Gus Collins poured some kind o’ acid on all the sponges. The next day we had powdered sponge. Pa: Look, here’s a pitchur o’ Mr. Galbraith, the first faculty man who volunteered fer the Army. Ma: And Mr. Causey (Ahhhh). Wal, he worked fast, didn’t he? Pa: Guess so! Hey, this here pitchur o’ Miss Raymond was taken with two girls that flunked out off her class the year before. Ma: Thar’s us, the Senior Class I mean. We had some purty nice kids in our class. Waine Morse found out how to detach the mile¬ age gauge whenever he swiped the car. Pa: Heh! Ray Dykes gave Mr. Hubbard’s handwriting to the pen¬ manship teacher. It got a three ' . I done that good! Ma: Mike Maniatty’s favorite saying was “If there’s anything I hate to do it’s to cheat. Wrong. Pa: Here tell Willy O’Donnell’s a Commissioner of Propaganda in Russia now. Last I knew he was up in a helicopter and didn’t dare come down. Ma: Our most amazin’ student was Ellen Erisman. She got over 70 points for Silver G. Pa: Good fer her, but to come back to smart students, thar was a boy in the auto-shop who was drivin’ the teachers’ cars all over town before they found out he had no license. Ma: Yes sir! Quite an energetic class we had. Our Senior Play was “ The Man Who Came To Dinner.” More dern things happened while that was bein’ put on. Ah those off stage romantic leaJs, Ronnie Hali and Phyl Nichols. Whenever the most interesting things hap¬ pened backstage, there was never enough light to see them. Pa: Which reminds me. I never could Agger out why Anne Hamer kept wantin’ ta borrow my coat. Di.ln’t fit her anyhow! Ma: Maybe not the coat, but those dresses did. Pa: {Cough) {Cough) The audience couldn’t even see the stage when Sherry Chase sent up his smoke screen. We should have had a full time fireman ta take k.re of flyin’ sparks. Ma: Too bad it had to be ov Closing night Mr. Cecil B. DeMille Hubbard was presented with a lighter and later asked for a match cauca he fergot he had a lighter. Pa: Oh well, what can ya expect. But here’s the football team. Had a good season 1 recollect. Ma: Fixed them fellers from the wrong side of the river real good. Pa: Yep. With them two — Em¬ ery and Joslyn - as co-captains they did all reet. Ma: Didn’t our youngest daugh¬ ter say she went out with some Joslyn feller the other day? Pa: Un huh — T’ain’t John tho. He was always kind of quiet and skeered o’ girls. Ma: Now what’s this? Must be the basketball team. Pa: They had a purty good sea¬ son too. Thar’s John agin, and Rollo and Ray — Chris too. The rest are all those puny juniors. Papa Hoosick was almost a senior tho! Ma: Here’s Ray Dykes agin and Dick Shattuck, captains a’ the baseball team. Pa: Thanks ta some timely pitchin’ from Shattuck they fin¬ ished up purty good. Ma: We had girls’ teams too. Pa: You did? Ma: Yep. Don’t be a schmoo, Vote for Lou McHugh, and Sheila Driver Spare that Tree Hayes were captains of field hockey. Marilyn Barrise and Barb Curtis led the basketball team. One day the varsity shut Coach in her office and doused all the jayvees under the showers. Captains Annie Mac and had great fun play¬ ing softball with the Gardner boys the day our team went to Gardner and their team came to Greenfield for a game. Pa: Is that all. Ma: No, but you can say some¬ thin’ too. Pa: Yeh, thet were too bad. The club really missed him. Mr. Card did a swell job o’ takin’ over but it was never the same without Mr. Sander. Ma: We had a good Forum, too. I wonder if Harry Williford’s found out yet why people git hitched. Pa: We also got a new auto-shop, new field house, new cellar hole for the home ec. building, new drivers ' course. Ma: That drivers’ course was badly needed. One enterprising young Romeo wrapped one date around a tree and left another stuck in the mud fer three hours at the Boy Scout Camp, complete with hoy scouts. Pa: Poor Bob but remember him and Harry in the Variety Show. Mu: An’ everybody else too. We made over $50 for the Student Council from it. For the first time in several years the council had a good treasury. Over $100. Pa: That was before you left. (PAUSE) Ma: What you thinkin’ of now with that silly grin. Pa: The weekend the 375 Tri¬ ll i-Y girls came to town. Oh boy. More mad Greenfield girls that week! Ma: Here’s the operetta pictures. The leads were Shattuck and Annie Mac. Dick sure didn’t mind re¬ hearsin’ some o’ those scenes. ' a: Who would? I’ll never ferget the look on Shattuck’s face when Butch came on stage with blood streamin’ out of his eye. Pa: To change the subject, re¬ member elections that year? Jack Taylor’s disguise was quite tricky eh wot? Ma: Sure was. Helped to elect Mitzi Croteau president, Jane Wan- deloski secretary, and Ellen Eris¬ man treasurer. V.P.l Pa: {Cough) {Cough) Ma: That election wasn’t the only new thing at GIIS while we were thar. We started the first basketball dance, new Ski Club, and a new Tri-Hi-Y. Pa: Which reminds me. In December the Ili-Y and Tri-Hi-Y went carolling together. What a night. Butch Britton took his flash camera along and shot one of his own face. Ma: Speakin’ of Ili-Y, Mr. Sander retired as advisor, didn’t he? Ma: The audience thought his makeup was runnin’. Pa: Poor Thomas Bouche. The night the curtain rope broke and let the curtain fly across the stage Ray was caught gettin’ up just after he had been killed. Quite surprised him to see the audience starin’ him in the face. Ma: Kind o’ sorry to see it close. Right after the Pro Merito with President Billy Boguslawski be came important. Pa: Member the day they gave out the pins. Whar was everybody. Thet was the day 90M of the class felt rather ill weren’t it? Ma: Some of ’em were ratherill the next day too! Pa: Too bad. Next came Gradu¬ ation. Marchin’ drills and stuff. Ma: Remember, we were writing the history. Took an awful long time. We just couldn’t seem to get down to business. Pa: Yeh. Then Senior Service and Commencement and Banquet and Graduation and Class Day. Ingh. My feet hurt. I want some sleep. Ma: Sleep nothin’! You just got up. Now go call the hogs. Pa: Aw Maw, that’s your job. I’ll go to sleep and you call the hogs. Ma: O.K. Pa: As Prescott would say, ' Sick¬ ling time; time to sickle out of here ' . ' ' THE END DAFFYNITIONS! Quintuplets! Two pairs of twins and a spare. Staircase! a patient who.se eyes won’t close. AS OTHERS SEE IT A certain person, whom we shall call Mrs. McTavish, knew her hus¬ band was economical, but she never realized how far he would carry his economy until one night .she found him sharpening the phonograph needle with a piece of emery paper. With library doors wide open to everyone at all hours, our remain¬ ing ignorance about subjects that interest us is sheer laziness. The only appeal that girls have, as a rule, is that they are females, and when they try to get away from that idea, they lose all the attrac¬ tion they ever had, if any. Whither Whitherest, O Iv y? Oh, plant the ivy ' . By all means, Let ' s place it in the ground. With tender hands and watchful care, Well pat the dirt around. Many, like us, in this same place This very task have done. A nd many a tiny ivy plant l-rooped, withered, and was gone. Our ivy well may join the ranks Of those gone on before But we will keep its memory green, Although our hearts be sore. And, while this promise we still keep. We can, rejoicing say. The poor old ivy never dies; It simply fades away. Pauline Bibby
