Qar en o emories The little Freshman loolced up at the large grey stone louilding. It was his first day in high school. He had loeen told all ahout the wonderful tour years oi fun and excitement he would spend here at Grover Cleveland, hut now all he could thinli of was how small he was and how hig the huilding was. He had never seen so many rooms in one huilding loeiore. There were so many offices-lVlr. lVlcCaiirey's office and Miss Finlfs and Dr. Tonsoris office, where a freshman might come to a sad end if he werenit careful. Soon the first unfamiliarity wore Ott, and the freshman adjusted himself to his new home. He learned to lceep his Freshmanis handhoolc neatly concealed and to act just lilce the seniors. There was a Freshman Rally, to malce him feel more at home, and when the Barn Dance came up, he and his classmates swamped it. Soon signs hegan to appear all over the school announcing the presentation of the HGypsy Baronf, an operetta. When he saw it, he thought it to he the finest he had ever seen. When we entered our second year at Cleveland, we had a feeling of sureness, of certainty, of determination. Our grade advisors guided us into the programs which we were to follow for our entire career at Cleve- land. For the first time we toolc that word HRegentsH seriously. We found new interests and new friends in the many extracurricular activities and cluhs. On short notice, the entire school went on its hest hehavior for a group of visitors from various out-of-town colleges and universities who had come to judge our school. At the end of this year, tallc loegan of a han on after-school activities. This affected us directly in our Junior year, when our extra-curricular activities were curtailed. Though there was some dis- turhance throughout the city in protest, our school calmly worlced through it all. Vvhen our cluhs and teams once more were worlcing, we were ready to talce our place as leaders in school activities. Our musical shows once more were heing produced. There was an Amateur Contest and a Valen- tine Dance. Qur teams, as usual, were leaders in the high school leagues. And then, we were Juniors. There was our last Barn Dance, the Amateur Contest, the celehration of Clevelandis twentieth anniversary, Junior Day, the traditional preview of the prom. And after three and a halt years we were finally Seniors. First the Senior recital, and then the hus ride to Bear Mountain: and waiting for the hats and pins to come liept us interested. Senior Day, with endless rih- hons of names and loest wishes, fancy hats and Sunday clothes for the Senior Day Dance. The climax came with the huying oi gowns and din- ner jaclcets, corsages and houtonnieres, for the Prom was here. ALVIN HELLER ,52
