Valentino Fireman PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 rg ,, ,rl dullness of the eventide served to throw over the ,if-QQ universe a mystic hazy spell. It sensed of the l,',,,9'j4,fg,jj-if supernatural. It promoted dreaminess that grad- ',fff'3UJ.a'll ually melted into optimism. The future with its unknown, yet alluring world was laid bare, and the crystal unfolded its mysteries. The first picture was of a group clad in caps and gowns and looking out upon the world with eagerness. Suddenly it started to fade and each figure stood alone with his future. Gertrude Ackerman, struggling with a bow tie, stood ready to unravel her story. She had successfully received her degree fthirdl, and was safely lodged. Her husband claims her meat balls are unrivaled. fWe're from Missouri.j Ray Beck, debonair, carefree, and entrancing as always, doffs his high silk hat, adjusts his Howing cape, and murmurs, chawmed. His reputation as a contemporary of Beau Brum- mell is established and undisputed. Albert Bell who you remember was new in our midst, proved himself loyal. He operates a Butcher Shop. His taste always inclined toward dumb animals. It is rumored that he is president of the Humane Society in New York City. Jack Burt, the only Charleston dancer that 1926 boasted, con- tinued in the manner in which he began. His dancing studio is infested by all citizens desiring to become graceful. We take off our hats to you, Senor Burt. May you ever retain your boyish form. Your name shall be written on the sands of time. And Rose, rather Rosalie Dankowsky. So you like house- keeping? Little did we think that our eloquent lawyer would stoop to the throes of matrimony. VVe hope your husband ap- preciates your efforts in his behalf. Yes, Al, you can come in. Since you've won that election you needn't try to High Hat us. You can bet we're proud of you. It isn't often that a classmate rises to such distinction. Here's hoping you win the next one. Line forms to the right. Ballots for Mr. Dowd dropped here. Music charms the savage beast, and when immortal strains are played by a pretty girl, what more could man or beast desire? Julia seems to excell. We remember her as the pianist whose disposition remained sweet through all hard practices. We hope you continue your successful endeavors, yet, withal, remain the same patient, ever ready Julia Holota that we knew in 1926. Some are born great. Others achieve greatness. And others have greatness thrust upon them. Nevertheless those who achieve it are deserving of additional merit. Bob Graff has shown the westerners what an easterner can do and impressed them that east is east and west can't beat it. Yet the west is alright, eh Bob? What about that fluffy little blonde? The busy hour of a busy day. Men rushing to and fro. Yet, in a large private office, furnished in a most comfortable manner with an eye to convenience and the beautiful, a man sat, musing. His legs were crossed and a huge forty cent cigar was extended from a corner of his mouth. A stenographer sat in an adjoining office and feverishly pounded a typewriter. The man removed said forty cent cigar and smiled. Hurrah, now we know him-Byron Hall . A man's a man for a' that. Perhaps he is and-anyway why argue? Through the faint outlines of the future a single one stands out. It is approximately three o'clock in the morning. A man clad in pajamas with his hair very much rumpled sits in a rocking chair, crooning lullabies. One after another. Two screaming infants are held in his frantic grasp. One yelling louder than the other tif that is possiblej. The gentleman sings on. We think, once to every man. Never mind, Milton, they'll soon grow up. Best regards to Mrs. Hock. The orchestra strikes up, the curtain slowly rises. Ah, what does that fairy scene represent? A beautiful woodland glade, a mossy dell and the rest, but who is that dainty creature that Hits from tree to tree? At last she comes to the front of the stage. The music becomes jazzy, very jazzy. The pretty lady begins to Charleston. Can she do it? I'll say she can. The audience applauds loudly. Encore after encore and then she retires to her dressing room. Such flowers, can they be hers? Yes, they are. Go to it, Frances, you've surprised all of us. Please, teacher, I ain't gonna be bad again, lisped the youngster. Go to your seat, young man, the teacher yelled without feeling. Ah, Dorothy, why so caustic? Can it be that you are loosing your sunny disposition? fPerhaps she isn't ac- countable for all she does, for, Her heart's in the highlands. J Oh, well. don't take it so to heart. Your name won't be Johnson much longer. All was quiet. The gentle whirring of the wind seemed to lull the world into forgetfulness. As we gazed further into the leafy woodland we spied a maiden. Clad in white she presented a pleasing picture. The purity of her expression rivaled the purity of her gown. Unshed tears trembled in her eyes. Wfeep not, fair Edith, Buddy'll come home from war soon. Yes ma'am, this paint is guaranteed to last. You won't get a bargain like this every day. Look at those hardwood Hoors. Surely, you don't doubt my word. No, we don't John. You're not only a good salesman for Kennedy's real estate, you're an asset to the class of 1926. There's something tender in the moonlight, and ah, beloved, the beautiful calm reminds me of you. More action,--action! bellowed the coach as the hero fin- ished. Do you think that'll do? Here, do it this way. The grimy gentleman grasps the damsel and attempts to illustrate. The hero glares and then does it according to instruc- tions. Yet, he Who labors reaps a harvest, and Dave MacNeil was never known to fail. He'll rival John Barrymore yet. A little bungalow on the outskirts of the village. The smell of baking bread, and a young gentleman of six summers busily eating dirt. Willee! Willee! Then the lady appeared. VVe shall draw the curtain on the next scene, because painful things are better when skipped. Again we see VVillee. Tears falling and chubby hands besmeared with dirt, wiping them away. Have a heart, Mibs. Remember: you have a healthy wallop and you might hurt him. In a cozy room hung with chintz drapes and furnished with old-fashioned over-stuffed furniture, a lady sat knitting. She had snow white hair attractively bobbed and curled. It was the year 1966, and as she looked back and recalled the joys of her youth, she sighed. Alas, she thought, men may come, and men may go, but I go on forever, alone. Cheer up Jayne, it won't be long now. Lead Kindly Light. --the voice stopped and because of the abruptness of its ending, a sense of queerness overcame us. We looked and looked and looked again. It couldn't be, but, yes it was. Standing on a street corner, clad in Salvation Army uni- form, waving a tambourine, stood Esther, the Peg of our High School days. Reformed and reforming. Come on now, let's sing again. It'll take more than a song to survive the shock. For I'm a masher, sang a gay tenor. We turned to get a better view. Yes, it was NValdo. Dressed to the minute finclud- ing spatsJ and ogling at the passing females. Ah me, life holds surprises for us all, but little did we dream that this would happen to the sedate Waldo Nickerson. Now, Joe dear, this is the third time I've asked you to hang that picture of mother, a sweet voice droned. Joe dear stretched, threw down the newspaper and grumblingly got up, glared -at the world in general and accomplished his task. Joe Policastro of all people obeying a woman's command. Joe of athletic fame and frame. Life's many untold histories astound and repel but could we, in sound mind, imagine this. Ah, frailty, thy name is man. Among the hurrying crowds in a large department store, a small boy stood, crying. XVant mamma, want my mamma. A man of massive frame but kindly face attempted to comfort him. The infant continued. Don't want big fat man. want my mamma. The floor walker known to us as John Franklin gave up in despair. After many futile attempts he located the desired mamma QP. S. The youngster's name was Hock.J Thud, thud, thud Cand another thudj. The nail was in its last resting place. The carpenter sighed and the h.ammer dropped causing a fifth thud. Should he or shouldn't he? VVas he a coward? He-once state captain of basketball? Ah, me, no! He would ask her. He did. They lived happily ever after. It is worthy to note that Mr. Dubow dines at the Roberts' apartment on Tuesday evenings. A maiden sat at a desk and steadily pounded a typewriter. Her eyes were very bright and as she transcribed we shall de- scribe her. As secretary to the president of the Consolidated Gas Company, she is one of the greatest successes 1926 boasted. Good for you, Johanna! 'On a stage whose settings revealed royalty, a very attractive speaker gained our attention. Her oratory was so celebrated that even the great did her homage. The gift of expression had not been disregarded and we hope that Jackie's success will be as lasting as her sunny disposition. Remember folks, she collected ballots with Isadore once, now she has others do it for her. Oh Josephine, my Josephine, the years may come and go but your beguiling ways remain unchanged. As a kindergarten teacher you are deserving of commendation. Your evident affec- tion for those little east-siders wins our admiration. A whistle blew. Brakes were jammed. Squeaks were heard, and then, Don't you know what that whistle means ? The unfortunate whose emergency refused to work mumbled, sputtered and blushed. The policeman turned away but not before we recognized him. Howdy, Captain Steinholtzf' A lady with the sweetest face one could wish to gaze upon, stood talking to a small boy. The boy seemed rather puzzled and unable to comprehend the lady's statements. Finally with an exasperated motion the lady began to explain her statements over again. The boy mumbled, I don't understand. The lady gave up in disgust. We don't blame you Eve. Anyone who can't see why right angles are equal is dumb. A tall thin lady with gray hair loomed in sight. Grouped around her were seven children who proved to be her very own. When we inquired her name, she blushed, stammered and finally ejaculated: It-It's Sophie. Airy fairy Lillian! True and yet untrue. Your excess weight proves that your boyish form has taken flight but ah, Lill, don't worry. Your better half loves you, anyway. A word to the wise is sufficient. See Jack Burt. A serious face with troubled eyes and pensive mouth. Ah damsel, why grievest thou? Art thou weary or do your feet hurt? Cappy! I wouldn't have believed it. An old maid like you to attempt to Charleston. Follow in the footsteps of your reformed sister. She hints that the Salvation Army needs a few more volunteers. Madame, can I be of any assistance to you' Yes, for goodness sake hurry! I have a dinner engage- ment and the condition of my hair is deplorable. Give me a sheik bob, hurry! After that we'd better rest. Madge of the blue eyes and beautiful golden hair. The only female woman left, has joined the ranks and made this an era for better and bigger bobs. For thee, dear one, I'd leave home. The dear one glanced contemptuously at the speaker and con- tinued to read. Her book must have been absorbing for she didn't even look up. The afflicted person spoke again. Dear one, what are you reading F Goodness, inquisitive, I'm reading how tomatoes can be best baked. And with a snap the book closed. Dot Utter had f learned her lesson. Never fool with a tomato 'cause you're apt to be squashed. An adorable ink spot adorned the tip of her nose. Her desk was strewn with papers. A cat purred at her feet and the pen of inspiration moved quickly. The great Margaret Wehrfritz sighed and laid down her pen. Her wonderful novel on Rheu- matism and Similar Ailments was completed. An immense automobile was racing up the road. A liveried chauffeur drove it. In the back a man sat smoking a cigaret. He looked out of the window and from behind an attractive Van Dyke, we recognized Spencer Williams. Prosperous from the beginning his immense wealth placed him on the market as a most desirable bachelorg but feminine charms held no lure for him. His large police dog, Mike, was the only one who occupied any major place in his thoughts. A large assembly room filled with students. Every one of them was intently listening to the well-chosen words of an im- pressive speaker. We looked at the speaker. It was no other. It was Tom Woodfield. Mischievous Tom, who had, through diligent study and hard work, become principal of a large high school. Mr. Wukitsch, your mail. The pretty stenographer laid it upon the desk and walked away. Mr. Wukitsch, older than when we knew him but otherwise unchanged, spoke a crisp Thank you and picked it up. As president of the Consolidated Steel Company of America he gains our respect. And then a heavy puff, puff and the one whom time cannot hush, runs in-late, of course. Because of her throaty ways Klinker Klein has become a part of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany. She has deserted meat balls in favor of fried chicken, and when stage duty no longer calls, she scribbles away on her Cook Book. There are many little Klinkers puffing around, and a charming bald, fat husband frelated to King Colej watches them puff-and lets the chicken burn. Helen is very happy! Again the curtain was drawn. Our glances into the future were over. The pals and comrades whose characters had been so queerly depicted had vanished. All was dark. Nothing was left but faded memories. Yet, those memories will remain forever, treasured as something worth having. HELEN KLEI N, Prophet. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF 1926 fr, E, the class of 1926, possessing on the whole a per- L 1 L' 7' fectlv sound mind and the ability to read and write by-,PS do hereby w1ll and bequeath all our worldly posses 3 J ' .1 1 - 1 INV X if , v L X - sions including real estate, stocks, insurance policies, mortgage loans and old sneaks. To the class of 1927 we will our political abilities, our good standing with the Hillside Police Force and the slightly pinned up but carefully rolled green and white streamers used for Senior Prom. They may be used again with careful handling-we suggest sterilized rubber gloves for the person of delicate taste. To the faculty we bequeath all our blotters and joseph Subpoena Policastro's mislaid gym towel to be used to evaporate the tears which it is customary to shed upon our sad departure. To the freshmen we will a new Columbia harmonica with the understanding that they use it to the best advantage to become popular, so that they may no longer be termed those green little freshmen. Q Home, Sweet Home is not so very ditficultj To NValter Krumbeigle we bequeath Evelyn Sterner's antique green sweater guaranteed not to rip, ravel, or run down at the heel-this he is to wear on all important occasions, including music lessons and boxing matches. To Lillian Patton, future editor of the Guide Post, we affectionately give all the pencil stubs and nibbled erasers which may be found around the premises of Margaret Wehrfritz. To Jane lNillmot and Woolsey Haetle, we hold up as an example of gentle ways of speaking, Albert Bell. To Betty Harvey we bequeath a little of Madge Tunison's non-vampishness with the hope that Betty will not be afflicted with cross eyes. To Virginia Joyce we leave all stray scraps of stretchable elastic for her to use at her own discretion. To the sprouting vampires of the underclasses we leave Esther Middleton's ardorous duties of bringing into the limelight of social circles, the juvenal indoor sheiks. What of more importance can we leave the future Seniors than Macaulay's Essay on Johnson, the valuable parts of which have been neatly underlined by the industrious QU of '26. We will Spike VVi1liams' array of tardy marks to any undergraduate who can uphold the standard which Spike has attained. This is quite a desirable position, taking into considera- tion that one is always sure of forty winks during detention period. Our 1926 sign we will to Mr. Sandford. tHe will find it among the debris on top of the cloak ro-om.l This piece of art he may either frame or donate to the Volunteers of America. To the poor unfortunates of next year, we will two,dozen pairs of fur lined pajamas to be worn in case of another coal strike. To the Board of Education we will 5131.05 toward a fund for new auditorium chairs with solid backs in order that the future slaves of learning may not be burdened with round shoulders. To the S. G. A. we also will 31.05 for barbed wire for fencing off the baseball field and 31.05 for bayonets for ticket men. VVe hope that these improvements will end the haranguing phrase where's yer ticket ? so that we may gaze upon the ball game in peace. CC'ontinu,ed on Page forty-onej f. qw- -Iv- iTHE CLASS HISTORY-1926 rg? ,N HE upper class men pointed meaningly and giggled like eighth graders, as we stood before them-on that first ,. V 33,4 September morning in 1922. But even this didn't daunt us. ltffvja' ,. We were determined not to look green, no matter what else Lffxi we did, for that had been the characteristic of every Fresh- man class and we were different. So the boys smoothed their patent leather haircombs and looked blaseg while the girls straight- ened their sashes and wondered if their shoes squeaked. But after that first dreadful break into high school society, we progressed rapidly. With the girls under the direction of Miss McKeever and the boys under the amazing grip Cask Byron Hallj of Mr. Morton, we were organized as the Class of '26. At Hallowe'en a play was given, a very successful play, even though Miss Stevens did have only three days in which to coach it. - The second function was a Freshman party, held in Ye Gym Ballroom which has since become a famous rendezvous for dance lovers. Then came a Freshman Play. A corking affair Cask any alumnusj. Dave MacNeil slept through the lead, and Madge skipped gracefully in, as any fairy should. She bestowed some very nice dreams on him and made the hero happy. By-the-way, Madge took lessons from a corre- spondence school and is willing to lend the letters that made her famous, to anybody who cares to become an actress. ,lune came all too soon, and like good young Freshmen, we followed the precedent by singing, No more pencils, etc. fyou know the restj, as we filed none too rapidly down the High School staircase. The following September we came back a bit more sophisticated, and, if I dare say it, a trifie more accomplished. It was our turn to point and giggle at what we termed cradle escapersf' This year we were placed under the care of Mr. Cox Cpoor man? and with much noise and revelry we made our new home! On March fifteenth we held a Sophomore Dance, and our hopes were realized, for it was voted a success by even the mostcritieal. The decora- tions were green and gold, in keeping with St. Patr1ck's Day. ln the Junior Year, we made great progress. A welcome was ex- tended to the Freshmen in the form of a rip-roaring, get-together tea party Cthe tea was made conspicuous by its absencej. This event oc- curred early in October. Our second class dance was held on October thirtieth, and another point was scored for 1926's high rating. The gym was transformed into a black and gold fairyland and high revelry was held until the hour for departure. On March twenty-first, a reunion of the grammar school graduation class of 1922 was held. It was a novel idea and we witnessed some sur- prising shocks when we saw the change in some of our former class- rriateg, and heard of the heart throbs and misses in their diiierent walks o 1 e. June arrived again! And as we left .school for our summer vacation, we prayed fervently for September to arrive, the sooner the better, for we were to launch on a brilliant and entirely new and happy career. By far the most notable and successful year was the lfourth. We prepared to embark upon a sea of scholastic and social activities which were to prove themselves not only instructive but enjoyable. The nrst matter which confronted us as we found ourselves back for another year was the question of rings and pins. After several weeks of careful consideration we selected one which pleased C?J the fastidious tastes of everyone. And when the emblems arrived! The might have been diamonds set in platinum-we were so proud to wear tliiem. As October drew to a close, we realized that it was due time to con- sider our senior play. Then followed some of the most pleasant, quiet, agreeable class meetings we ever held. How ditlicult it was to obtain a majority! Finally, one bright November morning we met in Miss Stevens' room, cast the final vote and agreed upon J. Hartley Manner's popular play, Peg o' My Heart. A few days later we gathered in the auditorium where tryouts were held and the cast chosen. Defying all superstition, we had our first rehearsal on Friday, November thirteenth, and with Miss Stevens as our competent and experienced coach, we began to work strenuously for the coming event. Second in importance to senior play was the question of a year book. Like the popular question to bob or not to bob, we discussed every phase of the subject. The possibility of substituting a monthly periodical for a year book seemed to some of the class, out of the question. But in view of the fact that a school paper would benefit the lower classes, we decided to establish a precedent which we hope will be carried on through the future years. During December our interest centered upon three things-the editing of the Guide Post, the Senior play and basketball-and of course our studies. The members of the Guide Post staff worked faithfully on the first publication, the cast rehearsed daily for the play and basketball assumed a place of importance, as the possibility of the county champion- ship loomed in the distance. Every Senior will remember the fifteenth and sixteenth of January for on those memorable days, the tirst edition of the Guide Post was heartily received by the students and the senior play was presented before one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the high school.

Jw CLASS HISTORY-1927 Y' Q4 UT of the dim, indistinct, far distant past, events that 4 ,Eiga 5 occurred years and years ago, often stand out with A the clarity of those of yesterday. Among happen- WQVJ' ings which can be so classified is the first appear- ance of the class of '27, Very much like an avalanche has the class of '27 advanced on its wayward journey: wayward in more ways than one, for have we not earned, deservedly or not, the reputation of being the noisiest, the most uncontrollable, irresponsible set of mischief makers in the spacious edifice called H. H. S.? Our Freshman year was quite eventful, as it was filled with new experiences-athletics and the Freshman party being the high lights. At this period of our infancy, owing to the fact that those of the male and female genders, were assigned to two different rooms, our reputation was neuter-although slightly leaning toward the better. Our second year was unlike our first, because we were not mere Freshmen but were well on our way to the S. of U. C. or Society of Upper Classrnen. We made our debut at a formal dance. Every loyal member of our class of last year cherishes the memory of that Sophomore Dance, even now that he has become a Junior. This and several minor activities served to initiate us into the S. of U. C. We had become a real part of the organization. As September for the third time summoned eager students toward the temple of learning, our immediate interest was a Hallowe'en Dance-another social and financial success. Then towards spring unusual sights appeared in the horizon. juniors and Seniors could be caught at almost any hour of the day, exchanging terms o-f endearment. The reason? The Junior- Senior Dance! Later, the Seniors with the true spirit of '26 returned the compliment. Perhaps it is lucky for them that they did. With no malicious intent on our part, this, our junior year, has served to throw practically the last shred of our good repu- tation garment into the rag bag. Instead of improving with age we are just beginning to bubble and foamg yea, once in a while we pop! But now, as the reign of terror draws to a close, our hearts begin to palpitate-not because it is spring, and all that, but because we realize that as our Senior year draws near, we must accomplish those things for which We have half-envied and half- admired, the three preceding Senior classes. We can truthfully say that each member of the class silently and solemnly resolves to endeavor to make the fourth class to graduate from Hillside High., a grand and glorious fourth.

K gl SOVHORIURIC CLA-XSS CLASS HISTORY-1928 OVV we looked forward to those four shining years of IQ ii-Gif high school, those years of work and play-our promised land. All over the country fun-loving, joyous youngsters begin that journey through the beckoning portals of a high school, and so, in the budding town of Hillside, an immense crew of Eighth Graders launched its sturdy bark of 1928 -into the glowing sea of hope, under the able command of Miss Jones and Miss Schmitt. XVe were ready to brave the tornadoes of scorn and snubbing fwe were called babes and cherubsj and sailed on with our one hundred strong, toward our port Senior Year. Our captain was Elmer Hill, assisted by Alma Boylan, first mate, both of whom steered us safely through the difficulties of state. The banner of Purple and Gold Hew over our heads and con- tinually reminded us of the things we had to accomplish, in order to make the colors as famous, as did their former champion, the class of 1924. Some achievements were recorded in the log book of '28, for we presented at assembly one morning, a little play entitled Sauce for the Goslings, which was coached by Miss Schmitt and which gave us all a lesson in the use and abuse of slang. Then came the day when the traditions of the sea were turned upside down for we, those insignificant Freshmen had defeated in basketball every opponent but the mighty Seniors. I can assure you that in this way we earned an important place in the regard of the fleet. The good ship Freshman trudged on past those treacher- ous rocks, Exams, and steered safely through the storms to calm water, reaching a haven of rest in the cove of Vacation. There we waited for those lost overboard in the struggle. The summer months wore away and again we gathered our crew together, this time under new commanders, Miss Jones and Mr. Morton. A few of our number never appeared, for they had wandered off, attracted to other ships. Not to be discour- aged, the fifty-seven remaining set sail for the next lap of the journey ina shining new craft, the Sophomore 'Tis true that our second boat required greater skill in things nautical, but We had come to be recognized by our superior officers as one of them, and could in turn pity and torment those who were making their first trip. Ours was a wonderful journey. Our inspirations mounted high with our accomplishments-socially, athletically, and schol- astically. Our colors became symbolic of great things, the spirit of '28 was leading us nearer and nearer to our glorious port- Graduation. And now that we are ready to embark in our new ship, The junior, may we earnestly endeavor to sail our bark successfully through the storms and calms of another journey, and on through the Sea of Life. LOUISE IVIANLEY, Historian. QI-QSIIXINN Cl CLASS OF 1929 HISTORY if-QQ? FTER eight years of preparation, the Class of ,Z9 1' ' 1. entered the activities of Hillside High under thc 1 fxfi kind guidance of Miss Schmitt Miss Stevens and 1,5 i A '. ' ' 3 i'W'Z4-9337 Miss Bowen. One hundred thirty-seven strong, we have forged ahead, and although not actually organized, have made quite a successful showing in the athletic as well as the academic held. The Freshman Maidens are not without aesthetic ability, as was discovered when the Latin Play was produced, several of them at that time having the opportunity to entertain a tiny feel- ing-just a tiny one, understand !-that they had contributed just a small part in making the Latin Play the success that it was. And with so eventful a beginning, we hope and trust that the Freshman Class will make the coming years a repetition Of its first year and that, with a few more grains of intelligence and renewed vigor, and a ripping vacation, we may plunge into Sophomore year, ready to break any record, past, present or future.

Hartley lylanners' great stage success, Peg o' My Heart. Under the direction of Miss Stevens to whom is due the credit for the splendid performance, the presentation of Peg', reached the high standard characteristic of Hillside High School dramatics. Indeed, according to the press, a gentleman, who witnessed the performance, and who has been in the theatrical business for eighteen years, declared it to be Hthe finest thing in amateur dramatics he had ever seen. ln view of the frne achievements of l9Z4 and 1925, is it any wonder that we of '26 glowed with pride and happiness when we heard this and similar compliments? XXX- were pleased to learn that all who were kind enough to be present at our play, appreciated the great effort which the members of the cast exerted to make 'fPegl' all that The Little Teacher and Daddy Long-Legs had been. The comedy is one in which are mingled humor, sweetness, pathos, and truth. Peg, a poor Irish girl living in New York, is made an heiress by the death of her uncle, and is called to England to be reared by an aristocratic aunt. She is like a duck out of water in these surroundings, and continually shocks her aunt and cousins. She wins her way, however, and also a worthy VOUIIU' En flishman named errv. , s fi , . Esther Middleton made a very winsome and appealing Pegg and David MacNeil, the best looking boy in the class, as the hero of the comedy and the lover of Peg, was a real delight to the audience. Josephine Smith, with her mature ways, was the typical, aristocratic English lady, and as Mrs. Chichester was a great asset to the play. Jacqueline Sherman, as the pampered and snobbish daughter of an old English family kept her haughty role throughout the performance. Although we do not love a villain, Alfred Dowd played the part of Mr. llrent so well that we do not blame Ethel for wanting to elope with him. Allen Roberts as the English dude proved to be a splendid comedian and kept the audience in good humor throughout the evening. But what is a wealthy home without servants? The work of Franklin Reinhart as the butler, Jarvis, met the demands of the most exacting critic, while Catherine Tresslar, as the maid, was extremely attractive and very clever. Last but not least there was Milton Hock, who, in the character of the lawyer, Mr. Hawkes, rendered his lines to the satisfaction of everybody. The great ambition of the class of 1926 was to present Peg o' My Heart in a manner worthy of the high standard of Hill- side dramatics. If our friends, the critics, feel that we have accomplished our task, then we are content. L. T. !'j !' ' 'IP I REHEARSAL DAYS ive, g - ELLO! Are you interested? This is the Senior Play cast lqyf ff L! speaking direct from Peg o' My Heart. We'v'e been W- having just the grandest time planning all the things we're lg lffjhvil going to tell you about our Senior Play rehearsals-of the fun we had during those weeks when the actual presenta- . - - -4 tion seemed so far away. Our program this evening consists of a little talk on Peg o' My Heart, J. Hartley Manners' stage success, but our Peg now and forever. When we began rehearsals, it seemed impossible to prepare, in six weeks time, a presentation of so ditiicult a play, for so critical an audience. But to those who are not fully acquainted with the Little Teacher in our school, this station now introduces Miss Ethel K. Stevens, the little coach and the big asset to Hillside. Did you say the Freshmen envy the Seniors? You are wrong-it is vice versa-the Seniors in this case most emphaticallv envy the Freshmen, because-interested listeners,- the Freshmen have the prospect of being with Miss Stevens for four more years while we, unlucky in that way, have to bid our little inspira- tion adieu. 4 Did you ever meet Peg o' My Heart? No! of course you didn't! But here, every day, when she is present, you are bound to encounter a real, honest-to-goodness Peg-pertness, winsomeness, truth and all-and strange to say, during rehearsals. she was always an early Peg. Oh yes, we mean Esther Middleton! Of course Peg had to have a lover, and our hero was more or less of a lady killer, in the acts, between the acts, and going home from the acts. But, right proud are we of Dav1d's portrayal of jerry. Jerry, with his democratic manners, was quite in contrast to Mrs. Chichester -Josephine Smith. Jo, with her new permanent wave reminds us of the good old play days when she forgot that she was a gray-haired aristocrat and sang out, Jackie says that Miss Stevens thinks she can teach Alfred to make love. Apropos of making love, we'd like this question answered,- Why is it that villains are always good at that kind of stuff? But Al isn't a villain in school life. Any of the faculty will vouch for this, even though in the role of Chris Brent, his success as a bad man was assured. And Jarvis! Poor Jarvis! Franklin was a great success on those January evenings, but he paid dearly for it. He was a mart r to all kinds of things-Allen's teasing, the girls' giggles, and Miss Stevens' sweet words of encouragement, Fat, get some pep. You're big and husky enough to talk more loudly than that. Now, once more! CI-Ie had already said it twelve timesb. Or. Franklin, will you move to the right just a little? I can't see Jackie! Then there was Alaric! Shall we ever forget Mrs. Chichester's drawl- Come Al-l-a-r-i-c, and the Cute, little lady-like trip of Allen Roberts, in the role of the young English chap-followed by apprecia- tive giggles from the cast and coach? Alaric, with his incessant Beastly boah, Fancy that, Ethel, All right, Mater, and Little Devil. Shall we not always treasure rehearsal days? Next in line comes Mr. Hocks, as Peg always called him. Milton Hock might be the quietest boy in the class,' but you can't judge a book by the cover. We formed our own opinion of Milton's character during those rehearsal days. We know that he is full of the dickens and a gentleman along with it. Shall we ever forget the expression of deep disgust on his face when Miss Stevens would say, Milton, for the seventy eleventh time-'Yesl That was why he spoke of her. ' But that wasn't Mr, Hock's fault! Miss Stevens adds to and suhtracts from a play until even its own author would never recognize it. And jackie, the pampered, snippy Miss Chichester. We often wonder how she succeeded in keeping that blase, bored-with-the-world expression during all those weeks of rehearsal. How clearly we recall her and Peg's giggles as Ethel would say Follow that path Cbroad Eng- lish accent herej and can't and after and fancy - -all in that aristocratic drawl. Indeed, we had all become artistocratic before re- hearsals were over. Of course we couldn't forget Cappy as the maid. And let me tell you she made the sweetest maid ever. She was lucky. Everything she did seemed to please the coach. CHow did you do it, Cappy?J , But the coach's remarks! We know them all by heart! The pet one, That's fine, children, but do it once more for me! became a bywordl Then just as we were sure that we were rivalling John Barrymore, we'd be startled with- More pep, you're all dead-keep it slow-come in on it-those long waits have all the earmarks of an amateur performance- Esther you've got to get more pathos-Davie you're overdoing it ! Then, with a long drawn sigh, That first act is in a hectic condition, and children it's Friday! VVell, maybe you'll feel better after you eat l Oh yes, we did take time to eat, during those days! Potato salad, beans, more beans, more potato salad, beans heated at the furnace and eaten at the furnace Cask Allen and Fatj. Then rehearsals went on and on and on! And so, folks this evening we won't have you go away with the idea that the first act. or any act of Peg o' My Heart was hectic, for during those hectic nights of eating tangerines and baked beans and potato salad, we did what all true Hillside High students will always do-we accom- plished our purpose and made Peg o' My Heart a dramatic success! More pep, you're all dead, was famous enough in those rehearsal days, but in the classes to come in H. H. S. you'll find lots and lots of pep. And now, we'll bid you good evening. Signing off, until nineteen twenty-seven comes along with her dramatic triumph! Good luck, '27. x DEBATING TEAM Hillside High School's second Debating Team has met with unusual success. Debating the question Resolved 2 that the United States Government establish a separate, unilied Air Force, and upholding the negative side with Roselle, the affirmative with Summit, the team put two unanimous decisions to its credit. The teams were composed of the following staunch members: Roselle debate-Claire Crosson, Jane XN'illmot, Esther Middleton, leader, and Louise Manley, alternateg Summit debate-Louise Manley, .lane XVillmot, Frances ,leffery and Claire Crosson, leader. Up- holding the negative side, again, the team met Union High School's so-called unbeatable team, and scored another victory, this time, two to one, thus winning the silver loving cup offered by the Rutgers Interscholastic Debating League. This was the crowning success of three months of hard labor on the part of both the debators and the coaches, Miss Stevens and Mr. Cox. It is pleasant to know that we have added one more trophy to Hill- side's wished-for Trophy Case, This linal team consisted of: Claire Crosson, .lane NVillmot, Frances Jeffery, leader, and Louise Manley, alternate. This debate ended the victorious season of Hillside High School's Debating Team. THE COUNCIL AND S. G. A. President ..,.,...,.....,., ............. l Mvun MCNEIL Vice-Prcsidczzt ...,.,,.. i,.......

But not until the 1925- 1926 season did our team ohtain the highest pinnacle of success hy decisive- ly defeating every l'nion county high school in competition, and carrying off the highest honor next to state championship, namely, the Lnion County Class li championship. ln addition to this well deserved position, Allen Roherts, our star forward and captain, ohtained the distinguished place of all-state forward and all-county forward, a position which was well deserved hy one who gave all his ahility and strength toward making the season the most successful one in our history. Bill Squier and Joe Poli- castro shared honors on the second all-county team, and Eddie Zilahy, who played his first season on the varsity this year, was awarded honor- ahle mention. Truly a record to he proud of, worthy coach l GIRLS' BASKETBALL Baskethall is always looked upon as ll leading sport. Hillside High does not neglect to make it a leader. lt has heen only three years since Baskethall hecame a part of our sport routine, hut it has remained so, and continues to hecome more important. This last year laid a goodly share of victory at our door. Our girls' team lost the county championship hy one game. Due to the splendid playing of the team we were ahle to make this record. Our captain, Edith Jowitt, played a good game hoth as a center and guard. Violet Hall, Alma Boylan and Dorothy Ltter gave the oppos- ing forwards a good hit to think ahout. Mahel Long and julia Holota, Hillside's high-scoring forwards, did not disappoint the cheering squad. Evelyn Sellick and Marguerite Huhert stepped in and did a clever hit of playing in several games. Jacqueline Sherman made a strong side-center and Catherine Clark stepped into place as a side-center and helped the for- wards to score.

She says to leave my career to fate. I think I'll be a pirate, daring an' bold Sailing the seas like the ones of old, An' sink every ship that comes in sight An' make everybody whisper 'bout their plight. The men we'd charge on, an' make 'em tightg The women we'd marry-that's only right. We'd have big solid gold earrings to wear And of course we wouldn't be afraid to swear. We'd wash only on Christmas day, Never go to church an' never have to pray. Then comes pa's voice, readin' to mom: Pirate gang caught, going to be hung. Well, there's a clown all spotted and red. Guess I'll be one an' walk on my head. Pa's voice- Circus clown falls, now dead. Well, my heart sinks jus' like lead. How about workin' in a candy store? Eat all ya want-an' even more.

MY SCHOOL The little old school by the roadside, The little old place that I love, Whose windows stretch forth a welcome As they smile and watch from above. The little old door that I entered, In dreams I see it again. The little old gym that we danced in How happy we all were then. The cosy rooms where I studied, The place I recall with a sigh, Oh! to live once more- As in the days gone by. But only in dreams can I go back-3 'Tis only in dreams, and yet, When twilight steals with its vision, Comes the school I can never forget. I. S. POETS' CORNER ROSES With a Hash of white, of pink and of red, God gave us roses-for beauty, 'tis said. The rose of a blood-red, brilliant in hue, Is the rose of love, a rose ever new. The rose of pink, of soft, tender pink Is the rose of. a blushing bride, I think. The rose of white, of sad, silent white Is the rose of Death, the rose of night. But fairer than these, that are sure to fade, Is the all-colored rosebud a wee, little babe. It's soft dimpled hands are the roses of white, Whose touch alone, be it ever so slight, Can pull on your heartstrings with a little tug, And make you want something to cuddle and hug. Its wee, little mouth is a rosebud of red And is sweeter than any rose 'tis said. Its fat, chubby cheeks are roses of pink And are softer than any rose petal, I think. Its heart is an innocent heart of gold VVhich comes to light as the petals unfold. And so don't you agree with all I have said That a babe is the sweetest rose-pink, white or red? Ill. W. HER FIRST I am excited as I can be! A real beau's going to call on me! He wrote to ask if he might call. He's big, a blond, and young, and tall- There goes the door-bell now! I peeped to see who was at the doorg 'Twas only a parcel from the store. I got all red and fussed you see, But 'twasn't my beau to call on me- There goes the door-bell now! It was only a girl from across the way To know if I'd come out to play You should have seen her-'twas a sight I said, Bill's calling on me tonight. There goes the door-bell now! I am as mad as mad can be. Fate played a nasty trick on meg He sent a note to say, Is it all right If I come up some other night? Doggone the door-bell now! L.

The seasons came- then seasons went- The years were new-then old and bent. But time and change cannot go nigh We'll ne'er forget old Hillside High. In after years should troubles rise To cloud the blue of sunny skies How bright will seem thro' memory's haze Those happy, golden, bygone days. Oh, let us strive that ever we- May let these words our watch-cry be, 'tWhere'er upon life's sea-We'll try For God-Our Country-Hillside High. S J. . LITTLE THINGS Don't sigh for the bigger things of life brother! Tackle the small tasks an' look round fer anothe rl 'Tain't how much you do. the main thing is how,- Whether you do it termorrer 'er whether you tackle it now! Don't wait fer an opportunity fer some life to save, Jus' do the little things that to you Time gave. Don't wait fer a chance to bring yourself fame, Because 'tis you that counts, not jus' yer name. So, brother, look round fer the little things to be done So's you'll have been worth while at the setting of Life's sun. M. W. CUPID'S DONATION When your feet become unsteady, And your senses start to reelg When your head is sort of heavy, Do you know the thing you feel? It comes but once a lifetime, And stings and yet is sweety It makes the harshest words sublime And chills run through your feet. But, Oh! fair one, beware of it! For from the heavens above, 'Tis said the angels send it- This ticklish thing called Love. H. K. 'nw' ' E 47726 Pm I5 Mzghtier 72072 Tfze Sword BANANA PEELS A careless pedestrian. A banana peel. A slip. A curse. There, you have a tragedy! VVhy DO people insist on depositing banana peels right under a person's foot? Scientists don't know. No one knows. Yet the peels land and so does the unlucky person who steps on them. It had to happen on Broad Street before dignified natives, scurrying pedestrians, pretzel sellers, automcbilists and a little bit of everybody. I smelled bananas. They are one of my hobbies. I felt the sidewalk. A banana peel! Then peels of laughter. I flew up a few feet, the nearest I ever came to heaven, and landed, not very gracfully to be sure, but most bodily. Inside, a hot fire burned. I repeated words never meant for human carp attempted a weakly grin and it hurt so, I changed it to a much- used frown. .Xt least ten people slid on that same peel that very day, I was in- formed and I made eleven and a half. The half because I bounced and then hit with only my ear. I brushed off my damaged clothes and hastened down the busy thor- oughfare into obscurity. The fire still burned and fermented. I reached the car station. Ah, luck was with me. A Kearny! Dear old Hillside! No more banana peels! I hastened into the street and stepped on the safety aisle. Bang! I fell ker plunk! A dratted banana peel. The fire inside increased in fury and its flames reliected on my face. The Kearny slid blissfuly onward. I finally reached the safety aisle and an hour had elapsed before I was informed that, because of a tie-up, the Kearnys couldn't leave the car house, I sat in a huddled heap on the curb stone,'a pitiful sight. One hour, two and three. At last, a Kearny! I paid my fare in high spirits-H nothing on my hip-and prepared to occupy the only empty seat. Fate would not permit. I slid. A banana peel! And so, gentle reader, should you ask me to name my worst enemy, I should feel a Fire burning within me, a curse or two upon my lips, but I should courageously swallow these symptoms, glance at my feet, lean closer and whisper: A banana peel. M. W. DEFINE A senior. VVhat definition can be better described than the one which a Freshman gives of his superior? A Senior is something to be held in aweg to be fearedg to he enviedg to be worshippedg and to be AVOIDED. And still the Sophomore comes forth with a definition that is astounding in its truth. A Senior is to be idolizedg for who more than a Senior rushes the Zb's for Sororities and Fraternities? Bravo-what are the thoughts of the Juniors? 'LA Senior is no better than a Junior. Well stated, Juniors, and now harkcn to the definition given by a Senior himself. One who is out for the true spirit of a schoolg who is interested in every school activity as well as in the interests of his classjwho is a steady worker, who will strive for better unityg who will cooperate in all matters of school workg and who is on the whole a friend of Freshman, Sopho- more and Junior alike. That in Hillside High School is the true meaning of Senior , and so on departure from our favored school, we sing James VVhitcomb Riley's old song: O the present is too sweet To go on forever thus! Round the corner of the street Who can say what waits for us? Meeting, greeting night and day, Faring each the selfsame way. J. S. WHEN BIG SISTER GOES TO HIGH SCHOOL Itlwas a glorious, warm day in June-junelwith its romances, its moonlit nights, and-its exams! On such a day Big Sister was graduated from grammar school and the troubles began! Ask dad, he knows. In the following September Big Sister demands that her hair be put up. No girl ever attends high school with a braid down her back-it's entirely too kiddish! Pa doesn't agree, but holds his peace-his tongue. In October she must have a powder compact-one from the five-and- ten will do. All the girls have one. In November she must not let her knees show but must have a pair of black silk hose, and also decides she must lengthen her skirts :in inch or so-all the girls do. In December she must not wear high shoes-none of the girls do. In January she must have a wrist watch-all the girls do and she's so embarrassed without one. Pa says his pocketbook begins to feel em- barrassed. ' In February she must have a skating sweater and cap-it's the latest. In March she really needs a pair of knickers-they're so handy- besides, all the girls have a pair. In April it's a plaited skirt, they're the rage this year. In May she must wear her hair in puffs-all the girls do and she feels so undressed with her ears poking out. In June she just passes her exams and must have an informal party to celebrate-all the girls are having one. In the meantime pa has been handing over money in rather a puzzled, continuous manner, saying: School ain't what it used ter was, no sir. Ma just looks over her knitting, shakes her head and says: I told you so. In the following September as she reaches Sophomore year, Big Sister demands a bob-all the girls have one. Dad murmurs something about a woman's crowning glory ain't what it used ter was and hands over fifty cents. In October she must attend the Soph masquerade dance-if you don't you have no class spirit at all. Pa wonders if class spirit is some new kind of home brew but says-nothing. In November she must have a sweet sixteen party-it's customary. Dad murmurs something about expenses but finally gives in which is the only safe policy to follow where woman is concerned. In December it's just a nile green evening gown for the Senior prom. Dad snitfs something about Sl.50 for a yard of green tissue paper that looks like split peas, whereas Big Sister's beau says she looks like a sweet pea. In january it's a permanent wave and dad murmurs something about the definition of permanent didn't used ter was just fer a few months. In February she decides upon a few pairs of silk stockings-only old maids wear cotton stockings and here ma looks at her own woolen stock- ings and raises her eyebrows while pa, out of habit, holds his purse. In March she needs a new double compact-all the girls have one and a dollar one is so cheapish looking. In April she demands a gold fountain pen and pencil-They're so con- venient-all the girls have them. Pa says something about speaking of April fools! In May she really longs for a pair of jade ear-rings-they're so reasonable-33.00 a pair. Pa murmurs something about bargains ain't what they used ter was. In june she demands a formal card party and dance. The house isn't large enough-all the girls give'theirs at the Masonic Hall. Pa looks at ma over his paper and sighs- School still ain't what it used ter was, and ma nods back wisely and says: I told you so. The next September she has reached the dignified summit of a Junior and demands nothing less than a boyish bob and a marcel-all the girls have one. In October she must have 3535.00 for the dearest dress for the Junior Prom and pa says something about S35.00 for a couple a yards a lace curtain stuff, sewed at the sides with a buckle or some sech thing on the waist! In November she decides upon a weekly allowance of two dollars and pa snilfa something about two dollars for nothin' but sittin' round like a freak! In December she needs a flannel dress for the theatre party-liannel is Paris' latest-all the girls have one. In January she must have a New Year's party which won't cost over thirty dollars and pa says something about thirty dollars to hop all over the Hoor an' sit in a corner with the lights off. In February she's invited to a Valentine party and needs ten dollars for an adorable costume she saw in Macy's. In March her room must be decorated in ivory-all the girls have theirs' that way and again pa hugs his pocketbook and sighs. In April it's just one of the Chinese good luck rings-five dollars- it's the latest. 7 1 ' -f:rn nrrtgyUlrw':f l In May, an evening wrap of velvet for the opera-all the girls are going. In June it's an informal luncheon because she passed Caesar! v And as pa pours over his account book he sighs and says: School ain't what it used ter was. Ma appears wise and replies: I told you so. 1 .The next September Big Sister has reached the undeniable glory of Semorhoodland the first event of the season means a new evening gown for the junior-Senior dance and pa bids good-bye to twenty-five dollars. In October she must see a hair-dresser and returns home with her once beautiful locks piled mountain high and-her eyebrows plucked! All the girls do it but pa gasps for breath. In November it's an adorable mink fur piece-they're just stunning- pa carries a lighter pocketbock. In December it's a fur coat-all the girls have one. Pa makes a trip to the bank and spends a sleepless night. In January it's a pair of satin dance slippers, price twelve dollars and pa mutters something-un-nice. .In February it's a Roman striped dress-price eighteen-fifty and pa again wonders what bargains really are and longs for the good old days. In March it's a rope of pearls-they don't necessarily have to be genuine-and pa groans: I guess not! ' In April it's a fiexible bracelet and she saw a bargain for three ninety-eight. Pa says: VVell, that's the cheapest demand in ages. In May it's the farewell reception to the Seniors and she must have a black velvet dress-all the girls do-and pa says: Now she's making up for that three ninety-eight bracelet, and, as usual, pa's right-she makes up several times-which may have another meaning. In June-it was june againmlune with its romances, it's moonlit nights and-its exams. Again Big Sister is graduated-this time from igh School and as the folks talk things over at home after the exercises Big Sister declares defiantly: VVe1l, when I go to work, I'll buy all my own clothes-I'll be independent. Ma nods and says: I told you so! Pa just sighs over his bank book-this time a sigh of relief-and says devoutly: Thank heaven! Still, school ain't what it used ter was! M. W. Q ALWAYS Time-Any afternoon at Hillside High. Scene-Senior Problems. Characters: Seniors-fVVho are trying to pay attention.J Mr. Cox-CThe ornament never worn out.J Mr. Cox speaks: Come now, come now, girls, will you please sit down-what? Yes, I'm trying to get the attendance first. Allen? Why- let me see,-yes, if Mr. Dubow really needs you, but come back. And oh! by the way, Mrs. Stevens needs a few boys to help move the piano. fThere is a shuffle and the entire Senior class voices an approval of all the boys' departurej M r. Cox goes on with the lesson. Mr. Cox speaks: Josephine -fthe young lady looks upj- what is the law of diminishing returns? CThere is a long period of si1ence.J Come now, Josephine, don't you know? Esther? Julia? Rose? CAnd here we have the brilliant answerl-'The law of diminishing returns is to give back what you don't want. fMr. Cox doesn't hear this as he is called to the telephonej Enter the Senior boys in silent parade without a smileg and with a heavy step, one after the other, they file into their seats and then Mr. Cox returns. Helen! Evelyn l CSternly.j CThe lesson goes on.D Ray! Are the coal strikers justified ? Ray drawls out a long speech half of which is true the other half made up. Should we abolish capital punishment? CWe do in Hillside and so proceed to study again.J Any questions about the lesson? Yes Allen? CAllen speaks and asks if the Seniors have decided on the orchestra for the dance yet.J Mr. Cox slowly reminds him that this is PROBLEMS, and Allen whispers to Josephine, whom he invariably teases, It's a problem alright to convince Jo that Al Reinhard's is the best orchestra in sight. Josephine lets out a shocked Allenl Then Lady Hall begins his comic sheet for the day. After Mr. Cox has repeatedly stated that commerce is an exchange of goods between states and nations, Lady Hall frantically waves his hand in the air- Mr. Cox, he drawls, what IS commerce? The class proceeds to roar with laughter and to the relief of all, the bell rings. ' Moral :-The Seniors are the most brilliant bunch of kids in the school. Ask Mr. Cox-he knows! J. S. FAREWELL Our voyage o'er the sea of life Is drawing near a port, A Guide Post, aiding in the strife Of study and of sport. Four years of happy High School lore, On seas both rough and calm, Have reached a sheltered harbor, But, we must travel on. Our ship stands in its port of call, And we disembark once more, To light true friendship's Ere On the trodden, well-known shore. At lirst it flames n1ost brightly, But then it burns quite low, Yet old friendships dancing sprightly Leave a gladsome afterglow. Old '26 We leave today, Yet time will not dissever For friendship's ties shall never fray But bind us all,-forever. HELEN KLEIN, '26. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF 1926 CContinued from page twenlyj Isadore and Jackie hereby bequeath their offices as tellers and we prefer that these important positions be filled by persons of keen intelligence. On looking over our inmates we find it necessary to will Milton Hock's superb tidiness to some of the less fastidious. VVe would give five cents to see Milton's hair mussed up just once. Upon investigation we find that the window sills in the new building are of conveniently wide dimensions and so we dedicate one of the aforementioned to Kit Clark and Eddie Zilahy. The well used and right comfortable one located in Miss McKeever's room we will to the rising generations of young romancers in the hope that they keep it well seasoned with fond memories. To the ten minute eggs and furniture movers of the younger generation we hereby relinquish the responsibility of heaving the piano off and on the stage. To whomsoever is wise enough to accept it, we leave our renowned reputation as a token of love and sincerity. To Mr. Cox we bequeath all our sweet memories of noon time in June time down along the river, and, for a speedy recovery from the critical case of nutiness which we have placed him in, we prescribe fried talcum powder and dandelion soup. Finally, upon our departure, we appoint the present junior Class to act as executors of this our last will and testament and do hereby place our signature in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. CLASS OF 1926, HILLSIDE HIGH SCHOOL. Witnesses: 4 Calvin Coolidge. Margery Doon. Fritz Katzenjammer. Class Lawyers: Jack Burt. Catherine Tresslar. THE CLASS HISTORY-1926 CCo11finued from page twenty-onel achievements as these are worthy only of '26-the class of faith, foresight, talent and ability. And during the following week our bright skies were overshadowed by the dark clouds of approaching exams. Having survived the shock of our midyear marks, we vowed to settle down and study. March twentieth! The Senior Prom. Gay young couples gliding across the floor of the gym to the music of Al Reinhart's Sunset Orchestra. Beneath the bright green and white streamers the soft lights shown upon the happy faces of the dancers. Seniors feeling just a trifie more im- portant than usual assumed a dignified air. To the strain of Home Sweet Home, we reluctantly left the gym and the Senior Prom became another pleasant memory of our senior year. About the first of April we held a card party but not the type you would imagine. Mr. Cox, our worthy advisor, distributed the cards, and some of our brilliant classmates carried off the prizes in the forms of 85's, 90's and 95's. Some of the scores were so low they were sent home for inspection, and nine seniors were duly disgraced. This will not happen again-we hope. On April sixteenth the Juniors were so kind as to en- tertain us at a dance held in the gym. We are greatly indebted to the Juniors, and we appreciate the efforts they put forth to make the affair a success, which it unquestionably was. Toward the latter part of the month we turned from social activities to those of a more serious nature. Frances Jeffery was chosen to represent the Seniors on the debating team and Jacqueline Sherman represented Hillside in the New York Times Oratorical Contest. Jackie took first place, winning fifty dollars, a medal and a certificate for the school. We are proud of both these Seniors who have done their share toward the glory of the class, and we take this last opportunity to extend to them our sincere congratulations. In May, we elected the members of the Senior if any one is eager to know how enthusiastic we Marge VVehrfritz, the editor-in-chief, how quickly contributions. On the twenty-ninth day of May, Junior Class at a dance held in the famous gym Guide Post staff, were about it, just we responded with we were hosts to Characteristic of and ask our the our previous affairs it was a rousing success and a good time was had by all. All that remains in the annals of our history, is class night and gradu- ation! Events of the future where time must take its course. And with our spirit joyous, though sad, our heart light though heavy, and emotions of mingled joy and sorrow known only to seniors, we bid a fond farewell to Hillside High with the hope that the fame and spirit of '26 will ring forever throughout its halls.

His hand with the instrument in it, moved slowly downward, and his tense face revealed the suspense he was in. How many times he had seen a similar piece of work ruined by a slight unstcadiness of hand or dimness of eye. It was indeed a delicate operation, and he gave a sigh of relief when he had Finished-for he knew very well that if his hand had faltered even a fraction of an inch,-the part in his hair would not have been straight. I saw a man kiss my sweetheart. His hand- some head was pressed close to hers. His fingers strayed through her silken locks. Her dainty head rested on his broad massive shoulders.
