As jK r custom, we opened the Social Season with a Hallowe’en dance—our Junior Prom. Lights were low. music soft, couples gliding in and out. It certainly was “swell”. Several meml ers of the class through the rest of the year were prominent in various fields of activity such as Basketball. Baseball. Track, Debating, Dramatics. Journalism, which is only natural for we are to take on the burdens of 1kmng Seniors next year and we need some experiences. The last jKirt of our history, we cx|x ct will Ik much longer than those preceding. Just before the close of school, our class had a meeting to decide alxntt our rings. After looking over the samples the choice lay between a red onyx ring garnished with the New Jersey State Seal and a standard gold ring. We. desiring to Ik unusual finally chose the red onyx ring and exjiect its arrival when we return to school next year. Until then. MEREDITH RUTH BORDEN. Mt. Olyrnpus—Radiogram Hillside. X. J. April 18, 1928. To Clio, Goddess of History: We emliarked on our last year (?) in high school and now we rather sadly see it drawing to a close. In accordance with our policy or fate of being unusual, we lx gan school by having sejiarate session rooms. However, we attempted a remedy which was not very successful. We intrcxluced something new, too, when we organ- izcd a f«H tl all team in our class and played the other classes, beating them all. Then, contrary to custom, we gave two one-act plays instead of the traditional three-act play. Our plays were quite successful. Our class, in addition to our own activities played a prominent j art in the school activities. The Varsity Basketball Team was conqxised of Seniors entirely, as was the Varsity Debating Squad. These two teams met with remarkable success. The former, even though handicap| ed by the new gvm not l eing finished, made a good showing and was not eliminated in the State Tournament until the third round of the game. Early in March we started work on our Year Book. What a job! Getting pictures taken, proofs returned, articles written, ads in, and the thousand and one other things connected with publishing such a big project. Happily it is proceeding smoothly now and is almost finished. Xow. we are looking forward to our Senior Dance. Class Night, Commencement—and then what? We can never forget the memories that crowd our minds in profusion and it is not without sadness that we dej art from Hillside High, wherein many happy and trying events have transpired. However, we must not consider our departure as unfortunate. but just as an advancement in our life, and we know that Hillside High is always glad to welcome back to its Ixisom one of the “old grads”. Closing with sincere regret, 1 am, MEREDITH RUTH BORDEN, Historian.

Mt. ()ly m pus----------Air Mail— a tidy Hillside. X. J. May 18. 1925. To Clio, Goddess of History: J. as the official historian of the Class of 1928 of Hillside High School, am sending you the first installment of our history. Gather round your stenographers and get busy. High School yawned cavcrnously as a pit when we approached it one fine Septemlier morning, but we entered that institution one hundred and fifty strong. As Freshies we were the most harassed group of “cherubs” you can imagine. Previously we had given little thought to that white porcelain fixture, called erroneously, drinking fountain—we came to regard them as showers. It was the particular delight of one of our superiors, to garnish one of these objects with a squirming, “all wet” Freshy. And this was only one of the tortures we had to endure. Of course, l eing Freshmen, we were denied the pleasure of giving a dance, but we gave the upj er classmen a jolt when we successfully produced (under the guidance of Miss Schmitt, now Mrs. Rudolph), the play, “Sauce for the Gosling”. Again we startled the world (at least our little community) by practically winning the class basketball championship, except for a little luck on the Seniors’ part in the last few minutes to play. During the rest of the year, although we did nothing spectacular, we held our own with the other classes and now we are looking forward to our Sophomore year, contemplating the incoming Freshies with a malicious gleam in our eves and diabolical thoughts in our hearts. Until next year, MEREDITH RUTH BORDEN. Mt. Olympus Air Mnil— Andy Hillside. N. J. April 6. 1926. To Clio. Goddess of History: This is the second installment of our history, and this should Ik more interesting because we are now budding forth as a class. Upon being released from the “swaddling clothes of Freshies, we took our first hesitating step. This was a dance held on Deccmlier twenty-third and we must say that our debut was a great success. This year we were successful in “copping” the Class Basketball Championship much to the other Classes’ chagrin. The remainder of the year jxissed away comjwra-t'vcly quietly, except for a few riots resulting from our successful seige of the Freshman stronghold and the consequent carnage. Hoping this is duly recorded in the “GimkI Ih ok , I am. MEREDITH RUTH BORDFV Mt. Olympus------------Air Mail—LA tidy Hillside, N. J. June 3. 1927. To Clio. Goddess of History: The third installment of our history—one more to go. This year as Juniors, we returned with many aims and thoughts before us. One among these was that our class would Ik co-ed in the same room rather than divided, but we were doomed to disappointment. Another source of gloom was the creation of a Junior High and the consequent elimination of the Freshies from our High School.
