OBITUARY By Marjorie Smart The dreadful and unexpected death of the Class of ’42 on June 10 was a shock to all of the underclassmen and friends. The cause of the death is reported to have been over-exertion in school and social activities. They led a hard but eventful life from the time they “took over” the school as freshmen until their recent death. Each name has gone down separately in the memory and the history of the school to be looked upon with much respect and many fond memories. When toddling along the corridors as freshmen, without a care in the world and a smile for everyone, little had the thought of this harsh ending ever crept through to those delicate minds. Their powers of deduction were greatly im- proved by their sophomore year, and they carried on nobly right to the end. Never was there a shirker among them. As we look back on their junior year we now recall the tell-tale marks of large, dark circles under their eyes ( prob- ably due to their “night-life,” which we are certain consisted chiefly of laborious study ) . When they returned as seniors, their once rosy cheeks were now faded into angelic whiteness. Although the end was sudden, we are sure that the spirit of this once superior and beloved class will go on in the hearts of everyone who knew them.

SENIOR DRAMA The three-act mystery drama, ‘’Tricking Tricksters,” was presented to a hall filled to capacity on January 23 by the Senior Class of 1942. One moment was tense with excitement, the next relaxed with laughter with the following cast: Grandmother Gavin, Stacia Czapla, playing very true to character; Grandma’s clever secretary, Shirley Cook; Hazel Rogers, the clever jewel thief, Catherine Mosesso; Hazel’s accomplice, Chester Ignatowitz; the Irish cop, Walter Dono- van, an excellent piece of acting indeed; Grandma Gavin’s superstitious and imaginative maid, played and beautifully acted by Hilda Terrazano. The four granddaughters were played by Elaine Megley, practical granddaughter; Jean Hollis, carefree young miss; Beverly Higgins, charming girl of seventeen; Lor- rell Keller, lovesick granddaughter. This proved to be a very wise selection. Edwin Paul was a newspaper reporter and Mary’s boy friend, who proved to be quite humorous, in his clever costume of a sheet. The cast was well chosen by Miss Kathryn Megley of the faculty, who also coached the play. Miss Megley, as usual, gave up a great deal of her time, as did the members of the cast, for rehearsals of the play. From the number of tickets sold and from the favorable comments on the play, the Senior Class considers it a great success. Phyllis Wilson, who was the true granddaughter, Lucy Lee, did a very fine hit of acting, especially in her faint.
