Many times, when we have been at a loss to find the solution of some problem or have made a mistake which needed to be rectified, it has been wonderful to know that there was a patient, generous, understanding person to whom we could go for advice, help, moral support and sympathy, and know that we would never be turned away. Because her kindness and friendship have endeared her to us, with a sincere wish for her future happiness, we — the class of ' 45 — lovingly dedicate this book to our friend, Amelia Tuttle. [7] 211 A High school is a glorious adventure for all students since it broadens their outlook on life and makes them aware of the opportunities which lie ahead. High school helps one to get as much pleasure, satisfaction and real joy out of life as possible. Students learn about themselves and others as human beings and about the world in which they live. They learn how to live effectively in the present and how to plan intelligently for the future. In high school new perplexities, new surroundings, now conventions, and a wider circle of acquaintances aid in training students to cope with the problems of later life. An educator of national repute has stated that the public investment in free educa- tion can be justified only to the extent that those receiving the benefits of this education will contribute or give back to the public a corresponding return. Both faculty and students at Regional High School have this as one of their objectives. My congratulations and best wishes to the Class of ' 45. WARREN W. HALSEY AMELIA L.

Her exceptional talents in music, dramatics, and scholarship; her joy in sports; her capable and vigorous work in homeroom and student council; her enthusiasm, wit, vivacity; her interest in countless school and community activities — these qualities recall in a measure our popular, versatile, talented classmate. Nevertheless, it is for her friendship, her personality, and beautiful character that we cherish most deeply her memory. r H] f ticMemufUxum JEAN PRISCILLA SWANSOIN For all their importance books, lessons, sciences, arts — all the paraphernalia of school fail to move or influence us as forcibly as does the strength of a glowing human spirit. Such a shining, beautiful personality was our class- mate, Jean Swanson. We shall always be affected by the memory of her strength of character, her warmth, her kindly generous spirit. When anyone had a problem, Jean was always ready to listen to it. The philosophy seemed to be live for your fellow men, for she certainly lived most unselfishly. Jean hoped someday to become a journalist. With ease and naturalness she wrote stories, poems, or anything that expressed her feeling. Much of her outside work was devoted to the church. She was active in the choir, helped organize the nursery school, and took part in all the activities of the church. With affection we remember her as a truly won- derful girl.

Some 250 feet of 9-foot mural is no easy task but Freshmen, Sophs, Juniors and Sen- iors alike pitch in each year, working hard to turn the gym into a glamorous setting for the sub-debs at Regional. The theme this year was Mexican Fiesta and with the multi-colored ceiling and lights and the Mexican scenes on the walls we were transported to another world. The art students do a beautiful job and the rest of the school is grateful to them for it. The great dramatic event of the year is presented by the Senior class under the direction of Miss McCarthy. Janie, the stage and screen hit, was the pop- ular play that was given this season. Jane Alexander was a perfect Janie and Bob Gilbert and Bernie Treadway did an excellent job with the male leads. The cast was very well chosen and their per- formance was worthy of praise. In order to put on a show like this, it is neces- sary to have a lot of prop men, stage hands, ticket salesmen and make-up artists. We include the cast, the coach and the production assistants in our tribute to a grand performance. « I Mtei- wFO [47] ■ I t I FRANCIS HANZEI President ALFRED NIERENKF.RKEN ' i e-Presidmt JUNIOR Row I, left to right: Paul Materia, Ruth Bataille, Edna Lawrence, Gladys Sandusky, Elaine Southard, Theresa Esposito, Victoria Cirillo, Frieda Babcr, Betty Jane Knauss, Catherine Titley, Helene Carter, Doris Michel, Kathleen Costello, Edna Weber, Harriet Neilscn, Betty B.nkert, Joyce Heins.

Until- you have served in some capacity — sorting pictures — identifying members of clubs — securing ads — making sketches, or various and sundry other things which take time, energy and brains, you cannot know just what a colossal job it is. This year, with the aid of the advisers, an excellent staff has turned out, we sincerely hope, another masterpiece. They present Regionalogue 1945 for your approval. O ( ne alaclent GmmciL This year our Student Council is really on the beam. They were behind our successful bond drive which mounted way over the goal of S5000 and reached the sum of SI 5,140. Super-salesmen! Yes? Our stamp sales have been excellent and if they keep up the good work, we know the P.T.A. membership will be better than ever — and there won ' t be a student soon without a dues card. One just has to be on his toes to keep a step ahead of this crowd. The two dances they run are always successes, and the money made takes care of that annual scholarship. Even with all the war service activities they never forget that. Mr. Sterner and Miss Fielding are the never-tiring advisers of this group. Besides the many constructive things this organization accomplishes, they find time for some of the nice little things that make people feel good. Just the other day we heard one of the teachers, returning after an illness, remark about the thoughtful- ness of the Student Council in sending her a card. We ' re really quite proud of them. mm mi Standing Rear: Virginia Krochling, Jack Nelson, Miss Fielding, Mr. Sterner, Helen Gunser, Barbara Sachsel.

But that ' s not all — they must have character, the ability for leadership, a strong school spirit and must participate in a variety of school activities. We would say, roughly speaking that they should make pretty top-notch citizens. It ' s not easy to get in this organization but we think it ' s something worth while trying for.

They have donated blood to the Red Cross and have built equipment for canning centers both in Clark Township and in Springfield. Another nice gesture was the collection of food baskets for the needy in the school area. Work of this sort has always been of major importance. This fall when we were hit by the hurricane, the boys came through in helping to clear away the fallen trees on school grounds and in other sections of the county. Besides all these activities there have been farmers to help with chicken raising, equipment repair and building — and, well, go out and talk to Mr. Peigelback; he ' ll tell you all about it.

Strolling along the hall early on Tuesdays, one might glance into Mr. Bobilin ' s room and see his club pupils hard at work -making canes, ash trays and games for use in the hospitals. Checker boards and chess boards come in mighty handy when someone at a hospital has many hours of leisure time. If you continued your stroll along the hall, you would see Miss Romano ' s students busily knitting squares for an afghan. Scattered about on the various desks are materials for making utility bags — and various balls of brightly colored wool. In the corner a girl sits pondering over how much money has been collected during the Junior Red Cross drive, which is an important part of raising the needed funds. In Room 211 Miss Crawford ' s Red Cross workers knit, sew, and work on various things to be used in the hospitals. Miss Leh ' s girls make all the yummy little whatsits which go to Camp Kilmer. There were so many students interested in doing Red Cross work that it was necessary to organize three clubs to accommodate them all. At a time when the nation and the world are torn by war, it is wonderful to see the spirit of these young people. They realize that they have a job to do, and they know that one big way to help is to do Red Cross work. Our day of victory will come just that much sooner because of their efforts. Three cheers for the junior Red Cross. MR. BOBILIN First Row: Frank O ' Such, Kenny Hall, Bob Young, Walter Colombo, Steve Staruk, Nick Warchol, Thomas Rendano, Bob Sho- mo.

Grab a tray! and help yourself to a part of the 700 bottles of milk, 40 quarts of vegetable soup and 100 potatoes that our students eat at every meal — to say nothing of the salads, vegetables and desserts. We really don ' t know how Miss Maitland, the Cafeteria Director, manages to feed us at such a small cost. You see the cafeteria is a non-profit affair but still must pay its own way. She is assisted by several ladies of the community and by some students. Very often, during lunch, the sound of Happy Birthday can be heard over the rattling of dishes and the hum of voices. Some group greeting a fellow student. And just as often there is a birthday cake with candles. This is one of our nicest customs. A spirit of friendliness prevails in our modern, well-equipped cafeteria. Yes — we even have an electric potato peeler and a modern change machine. 7Heuie Operator. Since education in these days is not all studying from books, a great many educational films are shown in practically all types of classes. Handling a motion picture machine requires quite a little technical knowledge and a sense of responsibility. Movie Director Cubberley, Beatty and Gilbert are kept busy throughout the year handling film, for the various departments in the school and training other operators. This year they leave us. We wonder who is going to fit in their shoes. jgf V Left to right: Bill Beatty; Herbert Cubberley, Movie Director; Bob Gilbert. We have an assembly every Friday and there are always lots of details to make the programs more effective. Props have to be set up, lights have to be operated, furniture has to be brought from various places. In fact, the crew of stage hands have an all year ' round job without speaking of the extra entertainments such as the Senior Play, the Christmas Cantata, the Spring Concert and P.T.A. programs. Those who take over responsibilities of this sort find that it requires a lot of time, energy and initiative. As our experienced stage hands graduate, new ones must be trained. These things sometimes seem like thankless jobs, but what would we do without the fellows who are school spirited enough to see that they are done? Thanks a million!

C Q?eachend CU oclcdwrv The Teachers ' Association at Regional is not altogether a professional organization, which sup- ports school legislation and keeps up with the new trends in educations, but is also a social group. Several times a year they gather together informally at teas, sports and picnics — where everyone has an opportunity to know his colleagues better. We think this is a grand idea because when a faculty is con- genial everything seems to run more smoothly. This year Mr. Battaglia is the organization ' s able president and assisting him are Miss Crawford, vice-president; Miss Cowie, secretary; Mr. Campbell by election and Mr. Lewis by appointment, treasurer; and Miss J ohnson, entertainment chairman and Union County Teachers ' Association delegate. Whenever Regional needs any printing done, all they have to do is get in touch with Mr. Hough and then in a little while the machinery in the print shop begins to hum. When the printers have no jobs to work on there is always type to be sorted and many other things to be straightened up.

Furthering health supervision, providing student aid, establishing a scholarship fund are only a few of the things they have done. The student body really appreciate the wonder- ful interest they have shown in the school. [96] Uoc tefi Chdr Keenly aware of the importance of athletics as a factor in boosting morale and developing school spirit, some of our parents went about setting us a fine example when this school was new. Moral sup- port, encouragement, cooperation and backing have taken on a new meaning for us, through their efforts. We could never fully express our appreciation and gratitude for things they have done for us; furnishing transportation, presenting us with awards and giving us our annual football banquet. The Booster Club is just another one of the assets that make Regional such a grand place. I H 3! 211 m A ootlrall How ' s football? Well! we beat Rahway, yes, Regional licked Rahway to the tune of 6-0. Though we were hampered with injuries at the beginning of the season, the boys showed the scrappiness and spirit neces- sary for a good football team. The first game with Summit was a nip and-tuck battle with Regional at the tail end of a 6-0. In the second game, a powerful Cranford eleven managed to squeeze out a second 6-0. But the Regional gridmen fell into stride in the third game by downing Somerville 7-0. In the following games the Orange and Blue lost to Caldwell 6-0 and defeated Union 14-13. Hanzel ' s conversion in the Union game clinched the victory, and the following Saturday we only managed to get a 6-6 with Roselle. The seventh game saw Roxbury down Regional 20-19 with the Bulldogs making 19 points in the final quarter. In the next to last game we saw Harrison plowed under to the tune of 35-0. They were an out-classed, but a fighting team. On Thanksgiving Day we defeated Rahway for the first time in Regionals history. Our squad played like veterans in back of their powerful line. With the excellent support of the student body, Boosters Club, and cheerleaders our team was led to many victories. Our all-state men were Ginesi, Aldrich and Neirenkerken. It ' s not hard to see why we ' re proud of our 1944 football team.

You see, we beat the teams we were worried about and the teams that feared us usually won against us. The main trouble has been the fact that most of the team this year was made up of fellows who had no experience in basketball and the whole team is in the process of rebuilding. The fellows have a lot of spirit even though they have had a tough schedule. Since quite a few members of the team are Sophomores, Freshmen, and Juniors, next year we ought to be able to repeat the victories that in previous years made Regional county champs.

In the two hottest matches of the season the boys lost by a single point to Blair Academy and won by a single point over Admiral Farragut. The feliows were shut out forty to zero by an exceptionally fine Newton squad. Washington also took our measure, winning a 31 to 9 match. We beat Thomas Jefferson of Elizabeth decisively by 25 to 10. Losing to Roselle Park 38 to 6 and to Teaneck in a hot contest by 18 to 28 the musclemen took Union ' s measure with ease, win- ning all but a match. Two boys undefeated throughout the season in their respective weights are Charles Calderairo and Pat Scorese. Both are expected to do well in the State contests. The team got off to a tough start losing two prominent boys, namely Dave McCarthey and Harry Keehn, due to illness. Late in the season Joe Hoke was unable to continue because of a dislocated shoulder.

Ns AS SottlndL The girls are just as much baseball enthusiasts as the boys — and we might almost add just as expert. Captains appointed by Coach Lubeck select their own teams. Picking a winning team is quite a job. Be- cause the girls are chosen for their ability and not because of their membership in a class — the rivalry between teams is only a temporary one. Softball is one of the favorite pastimes when nice weather permits. ScfthU Here at Regional we have never had baseball as a sport although there has been some agitation among the students regarding it. Softball, we play and the captains who are appointed by the coach may select their own teams from among the best players for the intramural games. The games are played more for the sheer sport of it than with any idea of keen competition. X P tyield H ch if At the state tournament one of our girls, Ethel Costello, was selected for the all-state first team. And were we proud ! This is the first year that any of the girls have played field hockey. We lost our only game to Union but we held our heads high when Ethel came through for us at the state tournament. The girls are enthusiastic about the game and next year they plan for a larger schedule of games and some real playing. We ' re looking forward to a suc- cessful season. « Ai tMS. •nm • Jbicheftai About twenty girls who have their own equip- ment were interested in archery this year. The school furnished the target for practice. Of the group, the best scorers were chosen to make up a team, with Kay Titley in charge. Beside intramural matches, they competed against Madison and Plainneld. This is really a free sport and we hope it will become more popular. Left to right: Kay Titley, Muriel McDowell, Virginia Schramm, Betty Jane Knauss, Ruth Titley, Shirley Jeakens. tti iij QinU A A, The girls are organized for the purpose of pro- moting a good wholesome program of athletics and financing the purchase of the letters and awards. The officers this year were Ruth Titley, president; Shirley Heetkamp, vice-president; and Kay Corby, secretary and treasurer. A manager was elected for each athletic activity: Hockey Jean Keeth Basketball Anne Philippa Swimming Muriel McDowell Archery Kay Corby Baseball Irene Vicendese Modern Dance P e gg ' Sarge This organization has proved itself to be very efficient and we think the girls have profited by it. Left to right: Muriel McDowell, Kay Titley, Anne Philippa, Katharine Corby, Ruth Titley, Irene Vicendese. t I Basketball Basketball, I guess, is about the most popular of the girls ' sports. There were three teams organized in each class — intramural games were played and the Junior and Senior teams played outside games with Madison, Chatham, Union, Hillside and Scotch Plains. The Senior teams were unlucky but the Jun- iors were undefeated in both intramural and outside games. That looks promising for next year. Left to right: Costello, Miss Lubeck, Anne Detrick, Shirley Jeakens. QThdenn Vancuuj The modern interpretive dance group was an in- novation this year. The girls, under the leadership of Peggy Sorge, aided with the coaching of Miss Lubeck enjoyed creating their own steps and rhythms. This sort of dancing develops sense of rhythm, bal- ance and grace of motion. Not a bad innovation, we think ! Kay Titley, B. J. Krauss, Ruth Titley, Anne Philippa, Helen Smith, Bette Ficke. Scrclai Dancing The social dancing group has really progressed this year. Due to the cajoling and threatening of both Coaches Lubeck and Borelot, a great number of the bashful wallflowers have gradually come down off their perches in the bleachers and have managed to find a partner who will struggle along with them. Dancing is a social accomplishment and the stu- dents realize that they have an opportunity given them here in our modern school. They really should make the most of it. Left to right: Fred Edwards, Rudy Albert, Elmore Martin, Herbert Kurz, Joyce Martin, Richard Barbon, Gene Thorpe. Dancers, left to right: Helen Duguid, Donald Cavalcanti, Peggy Kelly, Bob Albert, Joan Metzger, Vincent Vennati, Dolores Baber, Ardelle Sabedra, Freida Baber, Jean Conley. $ ? ■ VffSi jBL r . «K- Stvimminq The interest in swimming and life saving was very great among the girls. About seventy-five girls turned out for the Thursday afternoon class at the Westfield Y.M.C.A. It was necessary to reduce the size of the group which was cut to thirty-five. While life saving was their chief work they still found time to run a few meets against Plainfield, Westfield and Summit. Kay and Ruth Titley, Anne Philippa and Doris Costello were the star swimmers. They all had a lot of fun as well as some useful experience. Front row, left to right: Vivian Grate, Bstty Jane Knauss, Joan Metzger, Margaret Brahm. Second row: Helen Duran, Helen Smith, Rosemary Chattin, Kay Titley, Ruth Titley, Muriel McDowell. Cfiee dead u) Our Cheerleaders are a fine hard-working bunch. When we see them out in front of the bleachers; peppy, coordinated, making such a fine showing, we need to think back to the hours of grilling practice that has put them in shape. They certainly were an inspiration to the teams this year and the school responded well to their excellent leadership. From our Cheerleaders Club will come another group next year that we know are going to carry on the excellent job done by this year ' s Cheerleading squad. First row: Ruthe Steinemann, Margaret Palmer, Helen Gunser. Second row: Genevieve Ciemniecki, Peggy Kelly, Kay Titley. Third row: Eileen Becmer, Shirley Heitkamp, Lois Spankowitz. Fourth Row: Virginia Kroehling, Rosemary Chattin, Jane Alex- ander. In our eight years at Regional the collection of athletic trophies won by our athletes has steadily grown. We have excelled at one time or another in bas- ketball, track, wrestling and golf. Many individual prizes have also been taken in the various interscho- lastic meets. The trophy case is rapidly filling up and we feel that, since we are a comparatively new school, we have a lot to be proud of. [120] Oufctf Cowtbai This year we did fairly well with our Cross Country meets. Harvey Schramm was the captain, and he was the star of the team. While running against Irvington, Harvey broke their record. Inci- dentally, we beat them. We had a very good schedule, entering in the State and Union County Park Championship meets and taking fourth place in the Union County Park meet, competing against five other schools. We would have taken four places in the State if we had had another man, but we only had four. Schramm ran sixth; Alley, thirty-seventh; Dahlgren, forty-second; and Terrel, seventy-second. Schramm received a medal for coming in sixth. Next year ' s Cross Country team looks pretty promising. There is only one man leaving. The lettermen are: Schramm, Alley, Dahlgren, Ford, Terrel, Sadowski, Dawling and Bonnet, Manager. h IK II ! Can You Imagine . . . . ? Roger Todd a member of the clergy? June Packer with a haircut?

She lost and lost at an awful rate, Now the human skeleton ' s her only date. Karwoski ' s ambition was to be A yodeling cowgirl wild and free. Now she ' s down in North Caroline, Hog callin ' s how she spends her time. Genesi put Casanova to shame, He was never seen without a dame. But Genesi couldn ' t make up his mind, A lonely bachelor now you ' ll find. Helen was a noisy lass, But miracles sometimes come to pass, To believe reports seems almost too good, She now is known as Silent Duguid. Mueller was an expert at chewing gum, She made those masticators hum, She chewed at work and on a date, But lockjaw was the lady ' s fate. Sadowski has brains and personality, too, Friend of the boys, and the gals he did woo. We always thought he would easily succeed, Now cattle and chickens he does feed. Join the Navy was their ideal, Schmidt, Pinkava, and O ' Neill, If a peek at their hands you steal, You ' ll see the scars from potatoes they peel. The girls George Abram could not resist, A girl, I ' m sure he ' s never missed, A Romeo we all felt sure, Now exists on the Alcatraz shore. Popular and cute was Spankowitz, The guys at Regional, she did blitz, Her Grable legs have grown too thin, You ought to see the shape they ' re in. Quick with the corn and ve:y alive, Jeanne Allen was witty and hep to the jive. Now she has nothing to break the monotony, She lectures on tombstones, biology, and botany. Hockey, swimming, and basketball, The Costello twins were tops in all. Across the floor, they used to streak, But now they walk with limbs that creak. Ed Foster in the halls always did swoon, When he heard the strains of a certain tune. But after he married a great shock he received, For the girl he married couldn ' t sing I ' m Making Believe. With soldiers and sailors Crozicr did spoon, ' Neath the light of the silvery moon. With one she knew a romance would start, But alas! alack! A civilian has captured her heart. Makeup, glamour, and quite tall, Scosky thought she had them all. Now she ' s gotten big and fat, A spinster now with just her cat. Most likely to succeed, Jean Cosgrove was indeed. Now she ' s in a department store, Selling shoe laces by the score. Muscles Wodtke had his fame, In every Regional football game. He ' s still a great big muscle man, He dumps the garbage out of the can. Accurate baskets Detrick could toss, The game to Regional was seldom a loss. With his arm he lost no luck, He throws the cans to Wodtke on the truck. Lee Johnson loved the Navy ' s blue, Marry a sailor was what she would do. One day she met one and married by chance, Now all her children have bell-bottomed pants. A wit and goon and versatile, Ambition to make you laugh the while Picking pockets without a rod, Along Fifth Avenue is Roger Todd. Virginia Kroehling, who likes to sing, Figured she ' d be a female Bing. But opportunity shuts its doors, And now she ' s busy scrubbing floors. Marguerite Faede was a gal, A friend of all and a real pal. Bette Davis she undertook, Old maid now, with crochet hook. Steineman knew the cheers inside out, She taught all the freshmen how to shout. But now she prays for peace and quiet, When her eight youngsters begin a riot. Jane Alexander was on the ball, With friendliness, acting, voice, and all. When she was made a chambermaid, She found out this was to be her trade. Vogue was Chattin ' s real ideal, To pose for pictures with sex appeal. Now on Post Office billboards, you may see, Just what this Miss turned out to be. [129] Calendar Si pi i mber 7 At farming we ' ve labored, six hours a day, From sun-up to sun-down, we ' ve sure earned our pay. At hoeing and puking we ' ve worked like a fool — Oh, isn ' t it restful to get back to school. 8 Proud Freshmen pass under the portals of Regional — like lambs to the slaughter. 10 The lady said, No, and Bill Beatty discovers that, that pretty blonde isn ' t a senior — apologies to Miss Mather. 18 Regional nearly blown away by hurricane. Ag. boys clean up the remains. 20 Bigger and better initiations used on Freshmen — you ' d think lipstick was cheap. 30 First football game Regional saves her strategy. Summit is surprised by a 7-0 victory.

We share the points with Roselle. November 3 Seniors prepare for a White Christmas by selling Christmas cards. 5 Regional ' s own Roy Rogers, Jack Lafayette, added Thrills to the Roselle Park Rodeo. 20 Dewey wins votes from majority of Regional ' s students. But loses to Roosevelt in the fourth term. 22 Pep Rallies end — cheering for the inevitable victory over Rahway. 2 3 Attention Mr. and Mrs. America and all ships at sea! Let ' s go to press. For the first time in her history Regional rolls old Rahway in the mud, in the mud. Rah! Rah, Rah! This gave the Booster Victory Dance some real cause to go over with a bang. 26 Those musclemen seen running around the school who looked like Superman ' s helpers, proved to be our great wrestlers. Although s:r.all, Pat Scorese is state champ. 29 By popular demand Maxie O. Perlman again returns to the footlights on review of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Di-t EMBER 1 Greer Garson Koonz and James Cagney Alimonti amaze Hollywood talent scouts in the Haunted High School. 10 Janie chosen for Senior play.

Read all about it! The new year is started out right. All mail services held up while Herb Cubberly attends all classes today. 16 Students were taken by surprise when given a day off due to snow storm. Heart-broken students were sent home — cheering! 19 Four fellows of the senior class leave for the Navy. Could it be Greer Garson Koonz ' acting was too much for them? 22 Bob Jones, Steve Schmidt, Joe Pinkava and Dick O ' Neil join the Navy. Homeroom 2 is quiet for a change. 24 Freshman boys swoon over the voice of Virginia Kroehling who dedicated. I ' m Making Believe to Ed Foster. . . . Sorry, Freshmen. 26 Coast Guardsmen put on Flep-Cat assembly — Senior girls never swooned over Crosby like that, never! How could we? 28 Rockford makes debut in our girls ' room! 29 Bernie Trcadway makes big hit with all girls, even though 1 4 8 9 12 16 16 22 we may not know it.

Artists of Regional show their talents in Art, and enter the National Scholastic Art Exhibition. The girls got Cupid busy a little earlier this year at the Sophs ' Valentine Dance. P.T.A. sales poor.

Lincoln ' s Birthday — freed all slaves except Regionalites. It ' s here!! Perlman ' s wizards hand in masterpieces (essays to you. Feud is on! Again? Yep — Seniors had a Ball — manpower shortage lifts its ugly head. Swell time had by all. Seniors in spotlight again — the Voices read their life ' s work — essay. 22 — Busy day — Washington had another birthday and we had another school day.

Senior classes empty. Girls shed sweaters. Junior Prom goes over big. Exams over — Seniors store brains in moth balls, once again. Underclassmen still sweat. Everyone turns out. Recuperating — o-w-w my head— clean-up Saturday morn- ing after Prom proved stiff competition for Mr. Frey. Seniors still missing fron classes — oh Commencement practice. For a change a single holiday is celebrated.
