SENIOR DAY Senior Day, as given by the Senior Class of 1920, on the afternoon of May 27th, was in many ways different from those which preceded it. This, of course, is no more than could be expected as the class does things differently whenever possible. An entertainment, prepared by the class, was presented before the rest of the High School and a number of interested visitors. The entertainment began with a parade of the Seniors around the auditorium. To the accompaniment of inspiring music, the class entered, a long, straight line of boys and girls, the boys interspersed and almost lost among the girls, little girls, big girls, pretty girls all, all forming part of the center of attraction and therefore all in their element and presenting smiling, happy faces. But-who were these girls? Surely they Weren't the Seniors! XYhy, no one ever saw such short dresses, such beautiful big sashes, so many faces surrounded and almost hidden by masses of brunette, blond or auburn curls only partly restrained by big red ribbons, in the Senior Class of a high school. They must be Freshmen! Yet the dresses were white and the ribbons and sashes red. These were the real Senior colors. And there was the crimson and white banner at the head of the line. The line divided and the little girls went into the row of seats usually occupied by the grown-up Senior girls and the boys into another row. They turned around and faced the audience. The girls were the Senior. W , So the successful parade was followed by a successful class song and then by the old class cheer- Pep, Pep, Pep, a-plenty, Hasbrouck High School-1920! Hardly had the applause stopped when the class presi- dent, Francis Dominick, mounted the platform and an- nounced the next number on a program which was full of fun from beginning to end.

A ever a vivid and ever-present remembrance of Senior Day. , THE SENIORS' TRIP TO WEST POINT lt cannot be said that the weather of May 28, the day chosen for the Seniors' trip to lYest Point, was perfect. '.l'he river was enshrouded in mist during the morning and the land was decidedly warm. but it did not rai11 and the sail home was sunny and cool. All the girls of the class were present, but a number of the boys did not come along, thinking perhaps that a military training academy for boys was of far more interest to girls than to them. The class with Miss lispy started on the 7:45 trolley and landed at the 130th Street pier in just convenient time: for, almost as soon as the tickets had been bought, the Xl'ashington lrving came into sight thru the mist. Once on board the boat the class met Miss Diercks, who had saved a fine place 011 the front of the second deck for us. Al- most immediately everyone of the party must start to ex- I'l'TY1'l'l'I'l 'T plore the boat and to take pictures. This continued till al- most the time of the arrival at XVest Point three hours later, when a hasty lunch was eaten just before landing. Now the return boat will leave at 3:10 and as much as possible must be seen during the intervening time. So as many of the class as could be crowded into a sight- seeing bus, started off on a tour of the Whole post. The rest wandered about and saw many interesting things. And there were so many interesting things and peo- ple to see at ll'est Point! There was the huge building containing the swimming pool and many gymnasiums. large and small. llere exercises on horizontal bars and horses, and lessons in fencing were going on. There was no talking and only attention to business all the time. Ile- sides this building there was the fine big library and several u flIll'll 5 3 5 3 3 3
