Lambertville High School - Hiltopia Yearbook (Lambertville, NJ)

Our yearbook came next. What a struggle! Boosters, ads, and pictures came in so very slowly that Miss Ronkin had five gray hairs and Mrs. Hill had ten. We didn't progress quite as rapidly as we had anticipated but finally everything was much brighter and we were nearly finished. But, what we didn't know was that 47.5'!o of the pictures were blank and had to be retaken. Oh, yes, another un- happy one for us students especially those runners Barbara, Henry. To-Be, and Donald. Remember the cheese and yes ? Our class made headlines in the Hunterdon Republican with the following news item concerning our senior banquet: SENIOR BANQUET Despite all wind, ice, etc., the seniors and their dates trudged the hill to the senior banquet last Saturday night. The major problem of the evening proved to be getting Margaret Haney out of the country. Most of the boys entered into the attempted rescue. lt seems that Frank Steffanelli, her date, tailed to reach her home before dinner and thinking of his stomach hrst he waited until after dinner to try again. This time Bill Frabizio took him. When they failed to return, Pete Heath took out after them. Before a third left, Bill phoned Mrs. Hill, the senior adviser, saying that he was stuck. After a struggle they all returned-without Margaret. In March Cinderella Rose decided to make her appearance. so we presented a three-act musical comedy, which because of its unique scenery, and its unusual characters, was an overwhelming success. Tietsworth's cool romance with a refugee from the ice plant held the audience in spasms of laughter. Henry Bob Shanon Nalence's five o'clock shadow and his Tarzan hair cut were the brunt of Barbara Cinderella Rose Allen's ravings and rantings. The cook and his kitchen orchestra, the hicks , and the cute chorines and their blazing blazers made a perfect background for the fast moving, entertaining production. The soup supervisors, with the arrival of 10 billion pounds of potatoes, were seen around the school wearing tan draped potato sacks. fWell, at least they felt like it anyhow.l From that day on sales boomed and orders for potato cakes, potato salad, potato soup, potato pie, potato soufflee, potato sandwiches, potato ice cream, and guess what, even a request for a plain boiled potato. When the hilltoppers returned to school during this period called Potato Renaissance they were greeted continually with the de- lightful aroma of delicious, nutritious, scrumcious potatoes. We're off! The senior trip! The hustle and bustle of getting up early that morning made us so quiet that the noise we made was heard only in Chicago. The giggling sophomores, both of them, gave us a howling send off! Entering New York on the Lambertville-Trenton Bus-Line special, we energetic seniors started on a merry whirl of walking, walking, and more walking, and eating, eating, and again eating. After two days of plays, boat rides, baseball games, etc., we were finally exhausted. Can you imagine a person trying to see everything in that big city in two days? Well, that is what we attempted to do. As the last few hours arrived, we were so tired that we gladly piled into our bus and sailed merrily home to exams, class night, and graduation.

Cfaaa o 1947 September, l946, the beginning ot our last few school days. It's a laugh to think of it-there we were a few years older, and a couple of pounds heavier, but none the wiser lor were wel than we were when we entered L. H. S. in 1943. After a short vacation of a mere three months, we opened our doors only to close them again because of a case of infantile paralysis. We started this social season with an Indian Summer Dance which proved to be a sensational pow-pow. The auditorium was converted into a typical Indian reservation while Pocahantus, Hiawatha, and Chief Rain-in-the-Face, all joined in and helped add wampum to our treasury.
