CLARKE I fsliriiii IIA ' I ON THE BRIDGE OUR SHIP has come into port and our journey is at an end. We stand at the rail, and we reflect on all that has passed. We recall our first days on board, as Freshmen. We remember, with some misgiving, uniform examinations and the Regents. Our first days as Seniors are upper- most in our minds. How proud we felt when we displayed our large Sen- ior buttons. We remember the humor- ous things, too: the look of horror that the others showed as we rushed down the hall to show them, once again, our shining Senior rings. We remem- ber our excitement on Class Night and Senior Day. One event we will always hold dear, will be the glorious night of the Prom. As we stand at the rail, we reminise on the places we found for ourselves in the halls of Iohn Adams. These activities are where we found an out- let for our abilities, hopes and am- bitions. Tears well up in our eyes and a lump forms in our throats, because we realize that these activities and the many wonderful teachers who make them possible, will always be clear in our hearts. We want to thank our Skipper, and his able crew tor making our stay at Adams both a profitable and an en- joyable one. We turn, with faith and hope, to the future, and all that it holds, as we say goodbye from the graduating class of Iune, 1954. Monica Scimeca H I G H S C H O 0 L NEW YORK VOL. 14, NO. 4- PRINCIPAL COLUMBIA SCHOLASTIC PRESS ASSOCIATION GOLD MEDALIST 1954 5 I a n give '25 A ' l no g lgf l W . , Weddage ,Lowa fke ,X IN THE play, The Bonds of Interest, the Spaniard Benavente has woven an ingenious plot that carries a valuable moral. The scene is set in an unnamed European town in the late Middle Ages and the chief figures are a pair of rogues, master and man, who live by their wits without conscientious scruples. Coming to the place as strangers, they succeed in weaving them- selves so completely into the fabric of the community that the bonds of interest thus created in their continued success protect them against exposure and ruin. Too many influential people would be involved in their downfall to permit the truth to be known and the rascals to be seen for what they are. In this imaginary tale, Benavente has given us an excellent example of the complicated nature of many social. economic and political prob- lems with which we have to deal. Things are not ordered so simply that it is readily possible in a given instance even to distinguish right from wrong. For the further step of maintaining the right in full vigor while striking down the wrong, the difficulties grow by leaps and bounds. There is a term often in the mouths of left-wing adherents, over- simplificationu, that has value in this connection despite the questionable use of it by that group. In dealing with matters involving human beings, it is too easy to see issues as all white or all black with no intervening shades of gray. This tendency to which the young, because of their fierce logic and impatient zeal for justice, are particularly inclined is essentially over-simplification . Matters of controversy about which there is heated difference of opinion lend themselves to the sharply drawn contrasts of black and white. Yet, Descartes was correct when he said, Truth is rarely found in either extreme, but somewhere in between. To make matters even harder to resolve, the motives and the arguments of the parties to a con- troversy are a complicated pattem of good and bad, true and false. Similarly, it may be said that no nation wins a modern war, for the lives and fortunes of all nations are so intimately interwoven that a Carthaginian peace would drag down the victors in the ruin of the conquered. Hardly have armed hostilities ceased, when among the vic- torious people measures are adopted to revive the vanquished enemy. It is not pure generosity, but enlightened self-interest that prompted such action. The moral is that of The Bonds of Interest , for good and bad are so closely linked at many points that the surgeon's scalpel over an extended period of delicate probing is needed, rather than impetuous laying about with a broad sword. Intelligent study, patient analysis. careful weighing of all factors, these are the necessary procedures as both the cockle and the wheat are permitted for a while to grow until the time of harvest. That time of harvest must be the moment of calm and balanced reason that will give due value to all elements of the situation and result in a judgement in which there will be little or no over-simplification . In dealing with human problems, complicated as they are by almost inseparably involved good and bad elements, this slow, careful course is the only sure one to follow. The bonds of interest that tie us all so intricately together make the task exceedingly difficult at best. Five INSIDE STORY Patricia Butler LATELY THE American public has become increasingly aware of what seems to be a degeneration of the American teen-age population. Is it possible, they ask, for all teen-agers to be bad? But in the words of Father Flanagen of Boy's Town, There is no such thing as a bad boy . This may well have meant any young person needing guidance. For it is in the adolescent stage of life that a person needs understanding and help. more than any other time. Certainly some people have made the wrong turning in life but what of the majority of young people in the country? Let's stop for a moment and reflect on them. A certain high school Ut is not neces- sary to mention the name or the loca- tion of the schooll has greatly influ- enced the lives of its students. Iust what have they gained in their ser- ious efforts to find a place for them- selves? Their lives were in the hands of that school for four years and it had the power to reject them or raise them above their present standards. Six We will follow a student throughout her four years in that school, and she shall remain nameless. Entering the school as the proverbial freshman, she disliked the new life she was thrust into. Adjustment came hard to her and she began to take her school work for granted. She found herself not yet a part of the school and its activities and was greatly troubled by her apparent dis- interest in her education. Throughout her life she had one ambition: to be a teacher. Only this provided her with the determination to go on with her work. Suddenly she found herself in a peculiar position. She began to en- joy her other life for she had found a certain pride in being associated with that high school. Consequently her work improved and she found herself feeling proud when she was praised by a teacher. Oh, she was no student, for she didn't apply herself enough, but at least she was on the way to growing up. Then through the efforts of special courses and understanding teachers she found herself immersed in the activities of the school paper. The people there seemed to like her for her writing and for herself. She gained confidence and therein lies the crux of her uncertainties. Now she belonged. The paper afforded her the oppor- tunity to express herself and thereby discover her assets and her liabilities. She had something fine and wonderful in that narrow bit of print called a paper. Now you may ask, what has that to do with the increasing rates of juvenile delinquency? This girl could have been included in those rates if it hadn't been for her determination to succeed and the unfailing watchfullness of her par- ents and teachers. Is this example so different that it warrants telling? No, for it happens every year, in every city. And it will continue for years to come even unto the end of time.

He started puttering around with the car when he wasn't even fifteen and had a junior license two weeks after his sixteenth birthday. It was unfair discrimination I complained.

He had nothing to say when my mother got her license. but does everything possible to keep her away from the family car. I don't know why he objects to Mom's driv- ing. She's very careful and has never had an accident or even received a ticket. CUnless you count little insig- nificent things like over parkingl. How- ever, the sight of a steering wheel in feminine clutches is enough to send him dashing for cover. I suppose that is why he nearly hit the ceiling when I asked him to teach me how to drive. I was so careful to catch him in a good mood right after dinner when he was well stuffed and off guard. At first he ignored me and kept on read- ing his paper. Then he tumed almost fushia and in a patient voice thundered that he would not be responsible for placing the general public in such danger. Mother calmly told him he was insulting his own daughter and if I was a menace it was his fault. Dad retreated behind the sport's page while mother continued listing reasons why every girl should learn how to drive. She was just explaining the necessity of a car for shopping when Bill, my older brother came into the room. Bill sponsibility. Oh, Mom can be so clever when she wants to. Dad got up and growled like a wounded bear. I am not getting old and I am certainly not afraid of my own daughter! Nobody said you were dear. May- be Bill would teach her if you would give her permission? What! Bill exclaimed in surprise, I'm too young to die. Remember what happened last time I let her near the car? I just told her to check the oil and she nearly fell in the engine. Well, I'm not a mechanic. Whose side are you on anyway? I'm beginning to wonder. I think you're too stupid to learn how to drive. A person doesn't need much brains to drive, or you wou1dn't have gotten a license to even change a tire. Children, please, mother inter- rupted, you're only complicating things by arguing. Now, I think Kathy has every right to learn to drive. If no one else will teach her. I will. You'll what? Dad shouted. Two women in one car is too much. I won't hear of it. Kathy, I'll teach you and I won't take any backtalk. The matter is settled. Nothing you can say will change my mind. If you insist, Dad. I replied, there isn't much we can do about it. Mom nodded in agreement, and if she winked I'm sure it was only some- thing in her eye. Seven BEHIND THE SCENES Selma German Helen Kvstenbaum Eight IN THIS issue of the Clipper, We would like to introduce to you the people behind the school publications. Mr. E. I. Clarke, the faculty adviser of the Clipper, is the first on our list. Mr. Clarke was born in Brooklyn. He was graduated from St. Francis Prep and received his B.A. from St. Francis College and his M.A. from Fordham University. He got the idea that he wanted to be a teacher when he was in college. He taught at Bishop Lough- lin Memorial High School and Brooklyn College in both the evening and sum- mer sessions. In 1938. he came to Adams. Mr. Clarke enjoys good con- versation cmd good books of which he has read many. He is very fond of paintings especially in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Art Gallery in Washington. He likes every member of the Clipper staff past and present. His hobbies are raising his family, doing some painting, and writ- ing. Mr. C1arke's favorite performers are Helen Hayes, Katherine Cornell. Katherine Hepburn, Walter Hampden, Iose Ferrar, Greer Garson, and Debo- rah Kerr. His favorite foods include apple pie, rice pudding and home- made chocolate layer cake. 'Soccer and boxing are among his favorite sports. Mr. Clarke dislikes students who give lame duck excuses for not handing in their homework. He thinks that 3-D. Cinemascope and the other new in- ventions are too exaggerated and pro- vide an excuse for not giving much of a story. He feels that there is too much overemphasis on spectacles, tricks, and gadgets. Mr. Clarke still thinks that in a movie a good story is needed. His ambition is to play the piano better than he does at present. Mr. Clarke has three children, two girls and one boy. His older daughter is graduating next term from Queens College and is planning to be a high school English teacher. His other daughter is attend- ing Mary Louis Academy and his son is going to St. Iohns Prep. Mr. Clarke lives in Hollis and is interested in the possibilities of writing for television. He has been an adviser on the Clipper for 15 years and has found his associa- tion with people on the Clipper very gratifying and stimulating to him as a teacher. He feels it is a real pleasure to have worked with so many boys and girls in publication work over the years. Mr. Clarke likes the way the school is run and the atmosphere in the school. He is very happy to be a faculty mem- ber of Iohn Adams and he feels as if this is his second home. The second person we would like to interview is Mrs. Maxine Stem, the faculty adviser of the Campus. Mrs. Stem was born in New York City. She attended Iohn Adams, received her B.A. from Queens College and her M.A. from Teachers College at Columbia University. Mrs. Stem taught in an ele- mentary school in Brooklyn and then came to Adams. Her favorite sports are tennis and baseball. Her favorite ball team is the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mrs. Stem likes traveling, and has seen much of the United States. She would like to see the rest of the world some day. She also likes foreign films, read- ing, listening to all kinds of music. driving a car, and taking long walks. Her pet peeve is holding the door open and then having the other person leave her with the door in hmid. She also dis- likes discourteous drivers on the road. Her chief hobby is reading. Her favor- ite performers are Lucille Ball, Groucho Marx, and Ray Bolger on television. The first thing Mrs. Stem looks at a menu for is whipped cream desserts. mid won't turn down a good steak or roast chicken. She always wanted to be a teacher. Her ambitions are to play the piano for her own pleasure and for the pleasure of those immedi- ately around her, and to own a good radio-phonograph and a record col- lection. She would like to be fluent in French and Spanish, and to have the time to read half the things she would like to. The attitude of students means a lot in the classroom-if they are earnest, make an effort, and want to cooperate. That means more than if they are able to grasp the work. She dislikes the student who hands copy in after the deadline mid comes in the next day and asks what is to be done. Mrs. Stern has been the adviser of the Campus for almost five years. The only regrets being an English time she teacher is when she is swamped with papers to mark. The art Clipper and Campus is Mr. Robert Steed. He was born in New Iersey. He has attended New York University, State Teachers' College in Buffalo, Art Students League, National Academy of Design, and Cape Cod School of Paint- ing. He was always interested in art and it is his main hobby. He also likes ice skating and tennis. His favorite museum is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Steed's favorite performers are Aline MacMahone, Ethel Barrymore, L i o n e l Barrymore, mid Frederick March. He eats everything under the sun from octopus to squid. Mr. Steed has been in lndia and thinks that the people are friendly, warmhearted, beautiful to look at, like people all over the world, and generous. The country has exotic color mid is roman- tic in architecture. His favorite gripe is the motorcycle jackets or l'Marlon Brando jackets. faculty adviser of both the The photography adviser of both the Clipper and Campus is Mr. Richard Blazej. He was born in New York and he received his degree from Columbia University. He always wanted to be a teacher of math and has always been interested in photography. He enjoys walking outdoors and books on travel. His favorite food is broiled lobster. He is married, has two children and three grandchildren. He dislikes chewing gum. He lives in Canada in the sum- mer. Between Toronto and North Bay is where Mr. Blazej makes his sum- mer home. Well, here they are. The little inti- mate facts about our faculty advisers of the publications. We hope you en- joyed their likes, dislikes and ambitions. Why don't you get to know them?

Now it moves. Is it alive? Is it breathing? It moves again. What force is driving this object onward? What mystifying power impels this object to obey? Perhaps man will never know. Per- haps it will be another wonder for man to unravel. Wait-it moves again! I can see it move clearly. The contour is more distinct, the color more vivid. The lines move. I know what it is! The secret is out. It's a dozing senior. Edith Goldberg DID YOU ever stop to think how beautiful a tree really is? Let's look at a tree with its shapely body and its dress of bright green leaves. In the summer, she always manages to keep trim, and her overwhelming beauty catches the eyes of both young and old. Although she never has to comb her hair, it is always neat: washed with the rain to keep her looking her very best. In the autumn, she changes her dress from a bright green to a red and tan cover, a perfect match for her brown body. She is always there for people to see and she makes a perfect home for birds to breed their young ones. The next time you pass a tree, stop to look at it and really notice the beauty that everyone seems to take for granted. Theresa DiBernardo THE SKY was dull gray and the overhanging cloud seemed to reflect the gloom in Iim's heart. At last the time had come. Secretly he had hoped that the dawn would forget to break this morning, or that God might somehow overlook this calen- dar day. lim had awakened early. Undoubt- edly his troubled thoughts would not permit sleep. As he lay there think- ing of his past, he wondered just what he had done to deserve this punishment. The gallows itself could not have presented death in a more realistic manner. Automatically his body performed the daily rituals of dressing and eat- ing breakfast. His mind was saturated with thoughts of the fast approach- ing moment. Iim heard the clock strike six, and decided it was time to leave. As he walked through the familiar streets, he noticed the clouds were beginning to lift. Perhaps this is a good sign, he thought, encouraging himself. He was not long in reaching his destination. Nearing the assigned building, his heart began to pound and his body ached with fear. Upon entering, he found that he was early. Another was awaiting sentence before him. Time ebbed on. The moments seemed to numb Iim's mind, as he patiently awaited his doom. A voice was saying, Iames H. Stewart, please step forward. Doing so, Iim was at last face to face with his fear. Time traveled swiftly, though anxiety never faded. A few spoken words, one signature, and it was over. Iames H. Stewart was in the United Siates Army.

The machine that opens his can of beans, that machine that makes his car run, the machine that keeps his food cold, and that which prints his books.

They shall leave theirs behind: their loved ones, their enjoyments, their sorrows, their sleep, their waking up, their eating, their starving, all these things shall be nothing. Their blood shall stop flowing from their heart and they shall rot-in the ground. Rot, not like an apple, for an apple has seed. They shall rot and break up and nothing will come of it. Why! Why!

I notice that both armies claim some sort of affiliation with the Lord. Their gods may be different and very possibly the same yet the ground is drenched red. They love God but hate their fellow man. What hypocracy! Maybe, someday, there will be a great war. A war that will never be written down in the annals of his- tory, for there will be no history. A war that really will end all wars. Oh, mind you, man will fight alter that. He will fight his neighbor with his bare hands, and with his teeth. He will fight not for hate, just for food. He will never strive for any- thing. He will never want anything. Art, sport, music will mean nothing and will be nothing to him. He will retrogress until he will be another wild beasts of the forest.

He removed his rainsoaked coat and hat and hung them up. He brought his valise into the living room, set it down, and eagerly went about building a fire in the fire- place, iust as he had pictured him- self doing so many times before in his imagination. After the fire caught on, he stayed to warm up a bit and then walked quickly to the front door, pulled it open, and peered outside into the heavy rain. It had been raining stead- ily all day and Ronnie was worried that the rain would keep his father from coming to the house. Today would be the first time that he would see his father in five years and he didn't want anything to go wrong. He shut the door again and decided that now would be a perfect time for him to go through the house which had sheltered him since infancy. Ronnie climbed the Sixteen Lillian Crannas stairs and as he reached the top floor cz flood of memories came over him. The sight of the long hall with the many doors leading to the various rooms acted as a stimulus to him and he could vividly remember the happy days of his childhood. Familiar scenes came rushing back to him and he was tempted to slide down the bannister once again with the reckless abandon of a young boy who had just seen the new, shorter, exciting route down- stairs. As he walked through the long hall, he hesitated before a large oaken door, walked on, and with a short oath at himself for being so frightened, returned to the door, and giving the door a vicious turn he entered the room. Standing there in the center of the room, which was exactly as it had been on that fateful day five years ago. a cold sweat broke out on Ronnie's forehead and his first impulse was to turn around and run from the room back to the warmth and cheerful safety of the living room. Fighting down his desire to flee, he forced himself to sit down cmd as he did so, the whole horrible nightmare became a reality again, and he relived it as his thoughts raced back with the speed of terror to that day. He could see, once again, his friend's face, distorted with rage and envy, as he threw Rormie's prize cut glass vase upon the floor smash- ing it to smithereens. Two of these tiny pieces of glass pierced Ronnie's corneas and he became totally blind. He could remember his father's patience, solicitude and great desire to help to restore his son' sight. Ronnie had gone to doctor after doctor, pray- ing for and seeking help. However, he was finally convinced that there was no chance for him to regain his sight. Ronnie and his father plunged into the very depths of misery, but so great was their love for each other that, they tried desperately not to show their unhappiness during the days and months that followed. Two years went by thus, until one of the world's best known eye doctors said that there was a chance for Ronnie to see again if he would consent to an operation which would consist of transplanting donated cornea on his eyes. Ronnie and his father had a hasty meeting and both gave their consent. The operation was performed and was suc- cessful. After a period of convalesence and readjustment Ronnie had wired his father, who was unfortunately away on a business trip, and arranged this meeting. Ronnie was shaken from his stupor by the sound of a car. He rose from his seat, flew wildly down the stairs, tore open the door and leaned against it as a new wave of misery swept over him. There in the driveway was his father, eyes swathed in bandages, leaning on the arm of a young com- panion. I-ls Ronnie stood there, he real- ized that his father had been the an- onymous cornea donator and that he had been in the hospital and not on a business trip, when the operation had been performed. Shutting the door softly, Ronnie ran into the living room and sobs began to tear his body while tears streamed from his eyes, his father's eyes. His mind was in a tur- moil of emotion, compassion and love for his father, contempt for himself for his having whined so frequently during the past years, and bitter hatred for his friend, who had been so shallow and unstable as to have become vio- lent and hateful because Ronnie, and he, had won the most coveted first prize in an international art con- and who had since disappeared Ronnie's life. Then, amidst his heart breaking sobs he heard the tip- tap of a blind man's cane and rising from his seat he flew into his father's arms and vowed that he, both as a son and a person who had gone through the agony of sudden blind- ness.would do his best, as little as it was, to try to repay his father for his supreme and voluntary sacrifice. not test from Seventeen ALUMNI NEWS Marilyn Bond Pearl Stock MOST OF us at one time or another have probably asked ourselves. What has become of former Adams gradu- ates? We would like to try to answer that question. Let us begin with one of our more recent graduates of the class of Iune 1953. Mark Hoffer, who was prominent on our swimming team, tied first place for scholarship at Union College at Schenectady, New York. Paul Ostrowski and Robert Weiner, also graduates of the class of Iune 1953. are now attending Weslayan College in Middletown, Connecticut. Paul was noted for his many interesting stories in the Clipper and Bob received many French awards. Last Spring's dean's list at Hunter College revealed that many of our Adams graduates are doing well. The list included the following: lean Malone and Mary Muscarella, class of Iune 1950, Rose Bader, Class of Iune 1951 and Barbara Dumas, Class of Iune 1952. Leonard Uzan, a graduate of the class of Iune 1949 is now in his fresh- man term at City College and major- ing in engineering. Upon graduation, Sonny as he is often called, entered the Army. He spent the major part of his army career in Korea and received his honorable discharge holding the rank of Sergeant. Ronald Cohen, class of Iune 1951, attended Hofstra College and com- Eighteen pleted two years. He is continuing his courses at Queens College during the evening. Ronnie was a member of our swimming team. Marie Antonich and Ruth Udelsman, graduates of the class of 1951, are now attending City and Queens Colleges respectively. Marie and Ruth were for- mer editors of the Campus. Ronald Hengen, graduate of the class of Iune 1951, is now attending Dartmouth University in Hanover, New Hampshire. Many of the upper termers will remember that he honored our school by winning the New York State Competitive speaking contest. Betty Boos, graduate of the class of Iune 1950, is now married and is the mother of a baby girl. Before her mar- riage she was singing professionally at night clubs under the name of Betty Baron. She was voted the class vocalist of her senior class and hopes to con- tinue her singing career shortly. Harriet Perlson, graduate of the class of '51, is now attending Queens College. Elizabeth Steifeld, who graduated as Valedictorian of the class of '54 is now attending Albany State Teachers College and is majoring in math and minoring in science and math. Kenneth Maliere is now attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He graduated in Iune of 1952. Richard Kunz and Edward Weingart, class of Iune '53 are now attending Polytech Institute of Technology. Frank De Rosa is now attending Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam, New York. Frank graduated in Ian. '53. The president of the Alumni Asso- ciation and graduate of the class of Iune 1948, lohn Santucci is now en- gaged to a former Adams Co-ed. William Faron, Ian. 1950 graduate, is now in the Air Force and is stationed currently in Newfoundland. We would like to say farewell to Clipper readers and hope that you too will someday see your name in print in a future alumni column. LONGFELLOWS M4 mg,-f v .

Unite, I say, unite before it is too late! If we are to escape the machinations of the conspirators, we must band to- gether. Only by making a unified effort can we hope to preserve ourselves. What are we preserving ourselves from? E x t i n c t io n--that's what we're doomed with unless we do something to stop the villains behind this plot. Who are the villains that are plot- ting to make the tall human being extinct? The answer is simple. Short human beings, that's who! The conspirator's methods of attack are so subtle that most people are not even aware of the fact that anything is afoot. I, my- self, was under the impression that only governments had to worry about becoming the target of subversive acti- vities. Then one day I uncovered a plot that was clearly subversion toward tall people. My awakening began when I tried to sit in a seat on a bus. While trying to slide into the seat by the window, I became jammed between the fancy offset curve and the back of the seat in front of me. After much manuvering and by dislocating every bone in my body, from my collarbone down to my toes, I managed to get unjammed. However, no matter how I contorted myself, I couldn't find space enough to accomodate my legs comfortably. Finally I gave up and tried to take my mind off of the discomfort of my cramped knees by studying my fellow passengers. All of the other tall people couldn't get their legs to fit either. Short people had no trouble whatsoever: they ap- parently fit very well. As I sat pondering this, my mind wandered to another problem of fit- ness. Somewhere, I had run across something about survival of the fittest. Animals that were able to adapt to their surroundings survived, while those that could not, became extinct. Suddenly, I had a disconcerting thought, I don't fit! Most tall people don't fit! Medium tall people fit better, but short people fit best! Therefore, short people seem the fittest. Logically, it follows that the short people will survive and the tall people won't! Short persons have the advantage in more than one situation. Ceilings are getting lower. This gives the tall person claustraphobia, but does not effect the short person. Doorways are getting lower. This makes the tall per- son stoop or duck but the short person fits easily. Car doors are designed in such a manner that the tall person knocks off his hat: or even the top of his head, when getting in or out. The list of examples goes on and on, and proves that designers are in collusion with short people to make the short person the fittest. If present trends continue, within two thousand years, there will not be a single tall person left on the face of the world. Therefore, people over five feet six, again I beseech you, unite, be- fore it is too late! Let us put down this conspiracy. Let us crusade for higher ceilings, more head room, longer beds, and above all more legroom. Nineteen SECTION 812 Mrs. Mortin Section Officer ,iz SECTION 817 Miss Connolly Section Officer SECTION 8114 Mrs, Arnreich Section Officer SENIOR CLASS UFFICERS Selma Gernmn FIRST ON the list, is our Senior Class President, Rosemary Nodar. This at- tractive gal enjoys dancing, bowling, and Glenn lVIil1er's music. She rates From Here to Eternity tops on her list. In the food department, she loves spaghetti and meatballs and Chinese food. Perry Como, loni Iames, Dean Martin and Ierry Lewis, the Dodgers, and Duke Snider are some of her other favorites. Ro, just like all of us, has some dislikes. Some of them are people who are hard to please, taking shorthand on her lap, and doing ex- ercises. When I asked her what she would remember most about Adams, she was quick to reply, Sitting in the G.O. Council meetings and being Presi- dent of the senior class. Among some of her favorites are I Love Lucy, Tony Curtis, mid Charlie Ohlig. A main ambition of our President is to bowl 175. She enjoys Stenography very much cmd would like to be a success- ful secretary someday. One of the most popular girls in Adams is our Vice President, Gene- vieve lGennyJ Kloda. Genny likes English, roller skating, dancing, cars, babies, black and white sodas, good jokes, and beach parties. She also likes people with a good sense of humor. The songs, Till Then, and Lou Monti's Darktown Strutters Ball rate with her. loni Iames and Tony Bennett are her favorite singers. An- other Dodger fan is our Vice President with Gil Hodges as her favorite player. Some of Genny's dislikes are people with no school spirit. weekend assign- ments, conceited boys, and people who tease her about her fear of water. Genny will remember most about Adams the football games, dramatics club, winning the dancing trophy, do- ing her G.O. minutes, and Mr. Piatti's assembly programs. Someday, Genny hopes to be a teacher. She will attend St. Iohn's University this fall. Next, we come to our Treasurer, Arlene Weber. The day she found out she was treasurer will always be re- membered by her. Arlene likes to col- lect records, take pictures, train her two canaries, play baseball, and swim. The Bell Bottom Blues has a special significance for her because of a cer- tain sailor named George. The foods she enjoys the most are pizza, spa- ghetti and meatballs, and her mother's homemade meat loaf. Arlene does not like rushing after gym, people who cannot make up their mind, and tele- vision. So Big is Arlene's favorite movie while Montgomery Clift takes the acting honors. The Dodgers and Gil Hodges are who she will be rooting for this season. An ambition of Arlene's is to leam to bake a cake like her mother. Arlene is looking forward to being a stenographer after graduation. Red-haired Maxine Wechselman is our Secretary. Mickie, as she prefers to be called, thinks the songs Star- dust and Heaven Knows Why are the most to say the least. Mickie likes Sara Vaughn, horseback riding, moon- light swimming, bowling, collecting jazz records, and airplanes. She keeps scrapbooks of Tony Curtis and her favorite ball team Cyou guessed it al- readyj the Brooklyn Dodgers-they must win this year! She dislikes people who are not punctual, and boys who cannot dance. Mickie says that the one thing she will remember most about Adams is homework. M.ickie would like to get married and have five boys someday! In the meantime, however, after graduation she will be a secretary for T.W.A. I hope you have enjoyed meeting the officers of the Senior Class of Iune 1954. I would like to wish all of the Seniors the best of luck in the future.

Twenty-two CAP AND GOWN IN ALL high schools the highest form ot student life are the Seniors. They have arrived at their last term, a very proud and impressive group. It is very easy to distinguish them from the other students, for they wear the mark of a true senior, the Senior button. During the four year course that they have received in high school their training as good citizens has been furthered to a higher level. Their minds, bodies, and souls have been educated for adult living and think- ing. These are the last days of their adolescence. For now they must pick up their long planted roots and start something new, something which they fear but cannot turn and run from, for it is a challenge for them, and chal- lenges were made to bear. Some will enter college, others will give their talents to business or making a home for a family, but all will look for a place in life. All will want to succeed. Of course being a senior is a most wonderful experience and can never be duplicated in any way. There is the joy of putting together a song and dance for the variety show which occurs at the end of the term. There is the wonderful thrill you receive sitting through your first senior meeting. It's as though you and your friends have found a treas- ure all your own. Nothing can sur- Doris Miller pass the admiration you receive from the lower classmen, upon their learn- ing that you are a senior. Almost immediately you begin to count the days till you will walk down the aisle glancing from side to side at all your friends. You begin to get lumps in your throat every time you pass the spot where the graduation exercise will take place. The day arrives and you are walk- ing down the aisle just as you al- ways imagined, and your parents are proud of you and you feel it right through your newly acquired cap and gown. As you take your diploma from the principal's hands you know it means that from now on you are on your own. As you look to the future for gains, you know you will always remember the people who have contributed a large portion of their lives towards building a steady happy future for you. Yes, you are on your own. Your diploma is the key to life which en- ables you to enter the world of fit beings. Your carefree days are over. A new and wonderful chapter oi your life is about to begin. As you turn to look back at your parents. teachers, and friends your views are changed, for now you are young men and women seeking your place in the book of life. All these thoughts crowd your mind as you stand in cap and gown. Twenty-three SHOVING OFF AFTER FOUR years spent in Iohn Adams, the Clipper ship has come into port and we are about to dis- embark. The time has come for us, the graduating class of Iune 1954, to say farewell. We try to say good- bye without becoming sentimental, but as we trace back our wonderful years at Adams we can feel a lump in our throats and tears burning in our eyes. It was just four years ago that we, as eager and bewildered fresh- men, assembled in Memorial Hall and were divided into our respec- tive classes. From that time forward, we started toward our goal of at- taining senior status and long-awaited graduation day. The years were filled with hard work, lots of study, exams, and extra-curricular activities. But these seemed few to the many times we had, and the close panionship with our classmates. Then as the years went on, we became adjusted to the routine. We accepted things as they were given to us. Remember the fun and excite- ment of listening to the G.O. cam- paigns and voting for the one who good com- Twenty-four Rosemary Nodar promised soda in the lunchroorn? Then in the winter term, we cheered our football team until we were hoarse. When Christmas came, we witnessed the wonderful play and Christmas music in assembly. While we were still getting ac- customed to our surroundings, the years were rolling by and we soon found that we had reached that wonderful status of senior. Our many friends, class night, the Prom, new senior buttons, senior day, and finally our graduation exercises will linger in our memories for a long time to come. Realizing that any goal in school cannot be achieved without full cooperation between student and faculty, we derful skipper, Mr. William A. Clarke, assisted so ably by Miss Keller and our many fine officers. These ever- lasting memories and events would not have been possible without their patience, guidance, and under- standing. say thanks to our won- Now as we prepare to embark on a new voyage, it's good-bye from the Class of Iune '54.

At Sleep - A - Bye Amusement Park the other day, loan Specht and Nancy Souran did a fabulous stunt. They fell off the Merry-Go- Round while it was standing still. The girls explained this rernark- able act by saying that Thomas Barry and Ed- ward Wilson made them dizzy by running around in circles. The engineer on the toy train that runs around the park is Mary Ann Vissichelli, the fireman is Kenneth White. Some of the pas- sengers on the train were lanette Gaffney, and Robert Arfman, loseph Geller made a fine speech about the value of laughter at the opening of the park. The strange part about this speech, though, was that no one laughed, ex- cept loe. Selma German was seen riding the roller coaster the hard way, by walking the tracks. The screams of Dorothy Stark and Carol Waltz scared Selma off the track, but she was saved by Tom McGowan. An- gela Adessa, on vaca- tion from her job of sell- ing hot dogs at Yankee Stadium, was seen sell- ing peanuts to june Austin and judith Wein- stein.

Ann Tobin, Dale Weaver, Utta Moll and Pat Shan- ahan were seen stagger- ing out of the park, as the sun set in the West. Must have been too many hot dogs, girls. HIC-HICK Now we come to some one who has realized her ambition and has become a country hick. ln fact, she moved so far into the country that we had a hard job try- ing to find her. Out there, in Mastigue River, she has opened a piz- zeria, where the best pizza pies in the world are served. Miss Monica Scimeca is the person to Whom we have been referring, Miss Scimeca has even concocted a few recipes of her own. When you leave her place you eat so much that you feel as if you don't have to eat for the next five years. She is thinking of opening another pizzeria in the city, but whether she will or not, only time will tell. THEXTTIT-IE JURY Even the courts are making news today. At present, there is a trial which has been going on for five months and shows no sign of ever ending.

She can be heard beating her tom tom all over the studio, Bessie lewis and Arlene Horowitz are assisting Victoria Cano, and Anna DiBono in dis- couraging some head- hunters from having a feast during the broad casts. Don't loose your heads, girls! PAITERODOLLS If you happen to be passing the Canopener School of Modeling, you might see a couple fam- iliar faces among the bevy of beauties. An- gela LaBianca can be seen posing before the hot lights and cameras at any time of the day, or you might see Anne LaBarbara waiting to be selected as one of the Truly Trushe girls. As we gaze back over the years, we remember our first days as fresh- men, and how large Adams looked. We re- call how we were soon accustomed to our sur- roundings and how fam- ilar each corridor and room became to us. We remember how superior es- we felt as Seniors, pecially the day we re- ceived our large butt- ons, and the day we re- ceived our Senior ringh. All these are part of the many joys we found at Iohn Adams. Now we shall look back and entertain these won derful memories, O1 G.O.

Everyone looked up as the an- nouncer's voice broke through the quiet. We interrupt this program to bring you the latest weather report. A hurricane has just hit the Bahama Islands and is headed in this direc- tion at one hundred miles per hour. It is due to hit northern Iamaica sometime tonight. Board all doors and windows. Stay tuned for further news. Daddy stood up, stretched him- self and went out. At this time of the year, tAugustJ a storm was nothing to worry about. Nevertheless it was best to be prepared. Mary and I helped Mummy as she tried to put the animals where they would be safe in case of danger. Dickie, Ioe and Daddy saw to the boarding up of the window and doors of the house. Soon prepara- tions were completed and all of us returned to the living room to wait for further weather developments. Eighty-two At nine o'clock, Mummy sent us to bed in spite of all our pleas to be allowed to remain longer. At ten o'clock, the announcer said that the wind had changed its course and we were no longer in danger, so Mummy and Daddy retired to bed. Suddenly, I was awakened by a loud crash. Apparently. everyone had heard it because Dickie, the youngest. started screaming. A light was turned on and both my parents got up to try to soothe us. In a few minutes, all was quiet again, except for the howling of the wind and the patter of rain on the roof. As seconds pas- sed. the wind grew stronger and the branches of the trees could be heard beating against the sides of the house. After what seemed an eternity. the wind grew steadily stronger and another crash sounded. Then a groan. I rushed into Dickie's room or rather what once had been his room. A tree had been uprooted by the force of the wind and had fallen across the room, completely ruining it. A branch had hit Dickie on the head. It was too late to help him now. I Yvmuw Blythe stood dazed for some time. Suddenly I realized that the water was rising in the room. Mummy and Daddy had the other children on the kitchen table, when I finally fought my way through rain and water which had started to pour in. The water kept rising. The only thing to do, was to get to the school. It was built on a the street and was hill just across sure to be safe. Come on children, keep close to- gether. Hold hands! Daddy shouted above the wind. We are going to try to get over to the school. Into the storm we went. The wind had certainly increased in its velocity. This was an awful hurricane. I would be thankful if I did get into that nice, warm school. The street lights were out, the fog was very thick, and it was dark as we fought our way slowly. Suddenly, my foot slip- ped. I fell into what seemed to be a very swift stream. Where did all this water come from? We had no rivers near here, I must be in the street: rather what was a street a few hours ago. The water is moving so fast that it is impossible to get across, in fact, I am being taken along with the tide. What a terrible way to die. I thought. I had always dreamed of dying in bed with a lot of friends around and a priest. Ah, yes a priest. I opened my eyes and saw the sun streaming in through my window: I tried to turn, I could not, my head was bandaged, yes and it ached too, a, dull throbbing ache. My hands, they were bandaged too. Whatever had happened? Oh yes, I remember now, there was a hurricane last night, or was it last night. I don't know, I can't think. Oh, why doesn't some- one come in? A nurse came in. She was very cheerful. She wanted to know if there was anything I wanted. No nothing only my mother. She did not reply to my request. A few minutes later. Dr. Solomon came in. He felt my pulse, and sat on the edge of the bed. I am Donna, he said, I've known parents a long time. They were won- feel. sorry your derful people. I know how you What is it Doctor. Is everyone dead? They were found the day after. They were buried two days ago. Yes, my entire family was drowned while they tried to cross the street. Now I am all alone in this world. All alone. Eighty-three SENIOR SCIENTISTS Rosalind Becker Lillian Grannas THE CHEM lab captain, Valerie Soli- mene, is the first Senior Scientist up for analysis. Like all Italians, Val loves pizza. To get off weight adding effects, she swims, bowls, and runs after boys. When not doing the latter, she probably can be found reading or trying a lindy step. To add a sour note, her pet peeve is the lack of school spirit among the student body. However, this may soon be forgotten in her excitement about driving lessons and medical school. Dave Bellan, sole Senior male on the squad, is often heard saying Gad zooks when he thinks of eating. He likes anything that doesn't bite him first, especially steak and cherry pie. Eating is also one of his hobbies along with collecting folklore and camping material. The latter may have helped him in deciding to go into wild life management after graduating from Syracuse University. Eighty-four Yvonne Butterfingers Blythe, in- tends to study medicine at McGill University in Canada. She gets ex- perience for future work by being official test tube washer. After get- ting her M.D. degree she intends to spend half her life here and the other half eating codfish anackee, a mixture of codfish, fruit, bacon and onions, in Iamaica, West Indies, where she was born. Besides eating this concoction, Yvonne likes to read, paint still-life, and most of all, loaf. Leading the busy life she does, she still finds time to play tennis, softball, and root for the Dodgers. The first specimen under the micro- scope for dissection in the Bio Lab is an electrical whiz, Eddie Wilson. Eddie can be found glued to the radio during the baseball season listening to the Dodgers land eating anything handy except tomatoes, that is.J When not listening to the radio he collects stamps, and reads science fiction. Eddie hopes to graduate from Queens College and get a degree in electrical engineering. Last but not least we interviewed the captain of the Bio Lab, Roz Becker, and got a real scoop, just in time for the presses to roll. We'll start this interview by saying it's been her mis- fortune to have as her favorite food, ANYTHING that's fattening. She trys to overcome this by swimming and bowling. However as this only builds up her appetite, she has to have quieter hobbies such as dancing, reading and listening to music, es- pecially semi-classics sung by Tony Martin and Gordon Mac Rae. Iust let us add that she will be perfectly con- tent in being a college grad who can specialize in doing research work on diseases. Now that you have become familiar with the skeletons in the closets of two science labs in Iohn Adams High, let us say that we hope their am- bitions will be realized. Good luck to you, Senior Scientists. RARY IB L 'S IP SH - 2 S 1 -s s s .. v 'n S I - 1 Q vs. -. w 7 L THIS IS the last time we will be bringing you reviews of books because we will soon be leaving the Clipper Ship. As members of the graduating class of Iune 1954, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Miss Novotny and her staff for their valuable assistance during our four years in Adams. We hope you will take full advantage of our fine school library during your stay in Iohn Adams. The first book on our list is The Man Who Never Was by Ewen Mon- tagu. During the Second World War, Ewen Montagu served in the Naval Intelligence Division at the Admiralty. It was there that he formed Operation Mincemeat for which he received the Military Order of the British Empire in 1944. The Allies had decided that after the battle for Tunisia, the invasion of Italy through Sicily would follow. It was felt sure that the Nazis would ex- pect this and concentrate all their ef- forts at that strategic point. In order to make the Nazis believe that we would strike somewhere else, a brilliant de- ception was conceived. The entire book deals with the fascinating details that went into the preparation of Opera- tion Mincemeatu as it was officially named. It was essential to make the Germans believe that they had acci- dentally stumbled on the greatest se- curity leak of the war. To do this, Mon- tagu and his associate had to think as Germans. A dead man took on the identity of a supposed Major in the Royal Marines and a whole new per- sonality was established for him. Im- portant documents were created, and many personal details were attended to for this man who never was. He was to be found by the Spanish and turned over to the Germans by them with these top documents in his possession. The operation succeeded, and in fact, caused the Germans to plant their de- fensive effort right across Europe, even of sending German vessels away from Sicily itself. At the end of The Man Who Never Was, documentary and photographic evidence are shown let- ting one know the German reaction to Operation Mincemeat. The enemy right up to the High Command and even Hitler were convinced that Sicily was not the place that the Allies would strike. If you want to read something that once more illustrates the point that truth is stranger than fiction, then The Man Who Never Was by Ewen Montagu is what you are looking for. Most of us have probably heard of Ernest Hemingway, author of such pop- ular novels as For Whom The Bell Tolls, The Snows of Kilimanjarof' and The Mocomber Affair. We would like to familiarize you now with his most recent novel, The Old Man and The Sea. The Old Man and The Sea is much shorter than the conventional novel and much longer than the regular short story. It is written simply and directly and to the point. It can be read in a few hours. Iust as the simplicity of the story will amaze you, the depth and truth of the theme will bring to your mind many new ideas. In this novel, the reader meets three elements, the old man who represents human striving, the great fish, cour- ageous and powerful, who represents nature in all its animosity, and the world of the Gulf Stream, sometimes beautiful and friendly, other times fierce and horrible. Combining these elements, Mr. Hemingway has brought forth the story of life itself, man's struggle with other animals, with na- ture and with himself. If he can over- come these forces, he is the master. If he fails to do so, he is the mastered. Mr. Hemingway, on writing The Old Man and The Sea, has written down for all to read a story whose truth will always remain timeless. We strongly urge you to read this power- ful novel. Eighty-five SENIORS ALL SENIORS COME in varying sizes and shapes. There are however, four prin- cipal types. There is the conceited sen- ior, there is the bullying senior, there is the humble senior, and finally there is the average senior. The first type, the conceited senior is by far the most common. This is the kind who would wear his button through his nose if that type of pin was attached to the back. He usually wears colors that harmonize with the blue and white. He strides down the corridors, glancing from time to time, down from his loft on to the mere freshmen or seventh termers below. Imitating a Clipper staff member is C1 good way to duck this type. The most dangerous example of Sen- ior is the bullying one. It is very hard to spot one at first glance. They usually wear an angelic Who Me look on their faces. Their senior buttons peep out at you from their pockets as if ashamed to acknowledge their owners. Their senior hats are perched danger- ously on the side of their heads. This is, however, a most subtle and cunning disguise. This is the type most likely Eighty-six Elizabeth Rossi to direct the freshman to the elevators or write Cwith Hazel-Bishop non-smear lipstickl. I beat my mother for beer money on the Mona Lisa. Blending in with the walls is a recommended escape from this sort. There are some who say there is no such thing as a humble senior. This is a deliberate lie. There are hum- ble seniors all over the school only being humble they try to disguise it by appearing loud. The humble sen- ior is most likely the loudest person in your English class. They dress normally and well, lets face it, there is no get- ting away from them. Our last example senior. He is pretty pulls his rank on the lunchline. library line, hall patrol and a few other places. the paintings or is the average decent and only He doesn't write on sell elevator passes. His senior button is suitably decorated and his senior hat sits right up on top of his head. This is the type that will try to write music to our class song, or the Last Will and Testament for the Clipper. How do I know all this? I'm a senior too. W H AT NEXT? Marilyn Bond THERE I was in the same place, at the same time, doing the same thing, when from amidst a great throng of people a man stepped forward. May I have a Chinese thing? he said. This is a usual occurrence for a waitress who works in Woolworths. First let me tell you something about the job itself. The most im- portant factor is that you do not have to be extremely intelligent to the job. To put it bluntly, any- could get a job in Woolworths. The only qualifications for the job are that you be over lG, that you be able to count fairly well, and that you are capable of saying three phrases, Can I help you? sauerkraut, and large or small. Having passed all these requirements, you are given a uni- form with an apron, told to put on a net if you are a female and ushered to one of the many lunch counters. get one Let us suppose that you are to work behind the Snack Bar. This counter is located in the very front of the store where all the cold air rushes in. It is famous for its typical New York customers who rush in and out of Woolworths. Here, you are able to show the manager of the store how well you can apply these three phrases. After working here for a few days. you are familiar with the routine. You know that when a customer asks for a Mission drink that he wants grapes. You know that when he asks for a dog that he wants a frankfurter with sauerkraut. You automatically say sauerkraut, and large or small without thinking. Sometimes you ask the cus- tomer if he wants sauerkraut when he asks you for a chow mein sand- wich. You also know that there are Willmark men or spotters scattered among the customers waiting for you to make a false move. Many a time when you think that the customer is a Willmark man, you are on your best behavior. More important you know the people that patronize Woolworths. Nevertheless you just can't understand how anyone can feed a young child a frankfurter at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing. On this job you come in Contact with many different people. You might say that Woolworths is a small example of the phrase AMERICA, THE MIXING BOWL OF THE WEST. You wait on people from many foreign nations, France, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Eng- land, etc. Some of the people are fine, decent people and, of course, others aren't. You learn to control yourself and tolerate these other people. On the whole, most of the customers are considerate. They realize you've been on your feet all day and do not yell when their child looks up at them and says. Mommy, lady spilled sauerkraut all over me. They just grin and bear it. Besides the customers, you find many interesting friends in your fellow employees. You grow to like many of them and to understand others. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend working in Woolworths as a full-time job, but for boys and girls that need a part-time job after school, Wool- worths is as good a place as any to earn some needed extra money. Eighty-seven xlmmw he X P TO THE TOP Frank Nickels THE PUBLICATION in recent times of two books has instigated a new in- terest in the literary world. These two books are Annapurna by Maurice Herzog and The Conquest of Everest by Sir Iohn Hunt. The new interest is, of course, mountaineering. An indication of the acceptance of the public of this type of book is the fact that Annapurna reached first place on the best seller lists in less than two weeks after its release. Equally amazing is the fact that in each case the author was not a writer by profession, nor even by hobby: yet their achievements in lit- erary fields is in many cases the un- found goal of people devoted to pen work. The obvious reason for the suc- cess of these works is due to the achievements behind them. Anna- purna is the story of the climbing of a peak of some 26,000 feet, which was until May, 1953 the highest sum- mit yet reached. The Conquest of Everest is the narration of the as- cent of the highest peak on the earth. Although Ramsey Ulman's White Tower, a fictional work on mountain climbing, was quite successful, it did not approach the acclaim accorded to the two books mentioned here. To readers accustomed to getting their exercise at picnics, dances, or walking to school, the question will probably arise as to why people climb mountains. Some answers try to place the reason on phsycological causes, others tusually from climbers, themselves! give it a world-wide sig- nificance. Neither of these are prac- tical answers. After lengthy reviews of the question, the answer seems to lie in the fact that climbers merely like to climb, as fishermen like to fish. As to why Everest has been attempted the answer has best been expressed by Mallory, the first Everest climber, who gave his life in the attempt. He said, simply, Because it's there. In regard to this question, it is interest- ing to note that even though the Sherpas, who were the local resi- dents hired by the expedition to as- sist in portage work, are as excellent climbers as the expedition members themselves, they seldom have the in- itiative to climb of their own accord. They would indicate that it is largely due to the praise of bookkeepers and of clerks, that stimulate men to un- dertake the daring deeds of mountain climbing. Books on mountaineering almost in- variably furnish a wonderful trans- portation into the some beautiful country. Annapurna and Everest are in Nepel and Tibet, respectively, countries which are ordinarily closed to foreigners. For this reason, the accounts of the countryside, found in these books is especially valuable. Books on Alpine climbing also have some of the quaint air of Swiss and French chateaux: Advances in the popularity of mountaineering are opening up a new field of literature soon to become similar to the tradi- tional sea story. Eighty-nine MEET OUR TEAM Donald Visco AS YOU read this article, the chances are good that Iohn Adam's base- ball team will be the champions of Queens. This is the nicest group of fellows I have ever had the enjoy- ment of writing about and playing with in my four years in Adams. The team is under the guidance of a wonderful man, Mr. Iames Shields, who has made a well coordinated team out of a lot of individual ball- players. Ninety per-cent of the students in Adams either do not know, or do not care, who is out there fighting for the honor of the school. The ten per-cent who attend the games are the backbone of our school spirit. These people know that the fellows have been practicing since the end of February, in order to be in top Condition for their first game which was on March 30 against Forest Hills, which we won handily. More things are learned from your coach than how to hit a baseball. You learn good sportsmanship and fellowship. You learn to take the fruits of victory with the discouragement of a bitter Ninety defeat. The players I have met on our team, as well as the others on the opposition, will always remain in my mind, even after I graduate from Adams. Our champs are well rounded at every position. The infield has been hailed as one of the best in the city. It is composed of the double play combinations of Richard Senicola and our great lead off man, Richard Speth. At third base is the scrappiest player of the team, Frank Braga. The infield concluded with our forthcoming bas- ketball great, Iohn Kurilla. At first, our power hitting outfield has Bob Graska in left, and our captain Roger Wynohradnyk in center and either Tom Abrams or Frank LaVacca in right. This team is backed up by a strong bench which is a test of a champion. To play every position good is just as good as playing one position excellent. And this is what every pitcher on Adams has to be able to do. Our fine reserve infielder and outfielder is Pat Hader. The catching is done by Iohn Brooks with a great assistance from Chris Cane, our future star and Tim Williams. The pitching department which is the main clog in the production of a champion, is handled by Iohn Scol- low, a boy who uses his head as well as his arm. Vinnie Calusvanno, the strike out artist, Iames Arturo, the Rex Barney of john Adams, Ierry Bonnabeav, the pitcher with the poise of a pro, Ioe Ambrosio, the unseen young hopeful of Adams, and yours truly fwho enjoyed every minute of the seasonl complete the team. If my prediction comes true, and Adams wins the championship, it will give our wonderful coach and team a chance to get into the headlines. If we don't, we can always be like the Brooklyn Dodgers and wait till next year. In closing, I would like to repeat myself by saying thanks once again to a wonderful coach and friend. It was great playing for Mr. Shields. So long, fellow Adamsites! A SENIOR LOOKS BACK f:0llPl'i0l'P Klodr: IN A few days along with my fellow graduates I shall step forward to take my place in the world of to- morrow, and walk out of my youth into adulthood. Somehow, I cannot leave this place which has been my home for four years without remi- niscing upon the past. In the fall of 1950, I entered Iohn Adams as a freshman-a teenager unaware of the many aspects of life, having a limited outlook and unpre- pared for the future. As the weeks, months, and terms went by, I devel- oped a fuller sense of understanding, a completely different outlook on life, and the people sharing the earth with me. And now, I'm leaving as a Senior, with a carload of memories instilled in my mind of times and experiences shared within these brick walls. The wonderful and many acquaintances I've made: the various members of the faculty who gave so generously of their time and effort to direct and guide me on to the right path: the dramatics clubs I've been a mem- ber of: the honor assemblies my class participated in: the self-satisfaction of serving my school as a member of the Student Council: the service I've given: the report cards I received. While partaking in many of these activities I leamed to respect other people's opinions: to abide by the laws of the school: to think before I spoke: to be true to my own self, and to my friends. My memory book would not be complete without a reflection upon the football games, the thrilling swimming meets, the ex- citing ball games, autographing the Senior Clippers, and frolicking in my green gym suit. My high school car- eer has been a happy one because I got out of it what I contributed to- wards it. You can't expect to get it if you don't give. This holds true, not only in school, but in every walk of life, in a profession, a marriage, a home. The friends I've made are priceless. They, too, are the citizens of tomor- row, the future of America. People brand all teenagers because of the misdeeds of a small number: all are condemned because of a few. No, the high school students of today are not delinquents: they are a bunch of warm, big-hearted, friendly child- ren. As a whole, they strive to get the most out of life and they enjoy working to attain an end. I've met them, I've known them, I am one ot them. Some of us will enter the busi- ness world, others may serve their country in the armed forces while others will enter a professional field. No matter where we are bound, I believe most of us will succeed, for in us dwells a cheery spirit, a spirit of hope and happiness. To those we leave behind, I'd like to say goodbye and thanks, thanks for a four years well spent, thanks for helping us to be what we want to be, proud graduates, eager to up- hold the good standard and reputa- tions of all teenagers, parents, teachers and citizens of our America. It will be with a wistful smile, a tear- ful eye and a glowing heart that I'll leave these doors, the doors that hold the cherished memories of my past as a proud student of Iohn Adams.

Her brother had said that if she didn't think about it, it wouldn't seem so dreary. Terry tried not to imagine horrible things by read- ing the magazine she had bought. All of a sudden the train left the tunnel and emerged to elevated rails. Dark- ness had engulfed the city and the night air was damp. Terry looked up startled, as the train left the next station. She thought everyone had gotten off, but there still remained an old woman sitting at the other end of the car. She was, Terry observed, very shabbily dressed, and she stared ahead of her with deep set forboding eyes. She turned around and for the first time noticed Terry and a queer smile froze on her face. A chill went up her spine as the woman stared at her and she had a feeling that something terrible was go- ing to happen. Terry got up and tried to get into the adjoining car, but the door was jammed and she had to go back to her original seat. Maybe lim was right, if she didn't think about it nothing would happen. Terry tried, with no success, to con- tinue reading her magazine. Iust a few more stops and she would be home, but a lot could happen in that time. She remembered the newspaper head- Ninety-two lines that a maniac was roaming the city, but she couldn't remember if it was a man or a woman. lust the thought of it gave her the creeps and she wished the train would go a little faster. Terry noticed that when the woman thought she wasn't looking, she edged a little closer in her direc- tion. As the train pulled out of another station, she counted just two more stops to go. The old woman had reached the mid- dle of the car and was sitting right near the center door. The train was coming into another station and Terry decided that she would get off and wait for the next one. She got up as the door in the center opened, but the one she was closest to remained closed and a sign Out of Order stared mockingly at her. Terry thought she would go out of her mind with fright as the old woman got up and slowly came toward her. They were out of the station and Terry knew she was trapped. The woman was nearly up to her when Terry screamed and fainted. She awoke a minute or so later as they were pulling into her stop. The old woman was gone, and Terry couldn't understand it, because the doors hadn't opened yet. She glanced into the cars on either side, but she didn't see anyone. Terry won- dered if the old woman had been a figment of her imagination or if she had really been there. 0' W 3234? f fi Q, Compliments of ' MARCY PHARMACY 71 , ,xxfb fc LQ- RQ PRINTERS MACHINISTS ' I T .
