Vp a lazy river on a warm Nfay day was where the Trip Committee sent us. The train-ride, the boat-trip, the card-games, the song fesls, and the unforgettable fun at Bear hfoun- tain Park were great beeause of the efforts of the Trip Committee. In ehoosing Bear Mountain Park for the trip, its members, both IQA and IQB at the time, seemed to have a foreknowledge of the wonderful time we had. Cap 85 Gown Senior Trip Committee M. Coren, J.

Class History Part of crowd at Jamboree Band performs during half-time Victorious Basketball team at Palestra . 'I Naive youngsters wandering through corridors, wondering what it is all about, is probably a good delineation of freshmen. Awe possessed us as words of wisdom emanated from the lips of our teachers. No school, it seemed, could be of more portentious size. The maze of cor- ridors was the great enigma of the year. It was with great vigor that we prepared for our first examinations, our whole future seemed to be contingent on the grades we received for them. Time passed slowly, and holidays seemed a sanctuary in which we got relief from the de- mands impressed upon us. At the close of our freshman year the dim outlines of a class unity started to appear. Subjects, along with the intensity of study, increased in difficulty during the sophomore year. For the first time many of us indulged in extracurricular activities, discovering interesting and invigorating pastimes, At the Sophomore Hop We had the delightful experience of dancing to the harmonious notes of the Lincolnaires. We had now attained a responsible position in the school community. In our Junior year many of us took the History Trip to Washington, supposedly for the purpose of enlightening ourselves as to the func- tions of our governmental body. Our football team during this year became supreme monarchs of the Public League and our basketball team came near to accom- plishing the same feat. The highlights of our social season were the Pigskin Hop and the Basketball Bounce. Our ultimate goal, graduation, loomed just ahead. We had earned the distinguished title of seniors. All of the joys and the miseries of term reports and final examinations were ours. The senior trip to the spacious Bear Mountain Park and the Prom at the lush Sheraton Hotel, gave us many fond memories. We finally had reached the end of our tribulations and hopefully learned the value of a good education not only in terms of its earning power but as a stimulus to our minds. We were now prepared to pursue our many aims in life. Senior Trip boat ride View of Palisades during Senior Trip
