Prefidefzt 5 RICHARD MAHER Slzpqrifztezzdefzf of Schools Prifzfijml of Higb School Dear Seniors: It is not surprising if you turn a rather heedless ear to most of the profound wisdom that is showered on you by way of advice at this time. You have a kind of sturdy sense which tells that it will all turn out about the same anyway, As individuals, we have perhaps very little influence on the course of events. But this is not true regarding our own lives, and ourselves. Here, we are master. With quietness and courage we can conquer any threat, and we can attain any real desire. With quietness and courage we can make our way through the impossible. Remember, quietness and courage. RICHARD MAHER 6 IOSEPH S. BORZILLERI Vice-P1'i11cipfzl of High Srlmol Dear Seniors: In preparedness there is strength. In strength there is security. In security there is peace and tranquillity. None of these things come easily. They are the result of exacting and difficult labor. It is unbelievable but the fight for peace is nerly as difficult as the struggle of war. It is toward this peace that we have tried in a small way to prepare you, and for which we pray you will striveg we pray that you will be citizens of the world, aware of the other fellow's problems, considerate of his feelings and helpful to those less fortunate. We are confident that in these things you will not be found wanting. JOSEPH S. BORZILLERI. IW. GENEVIEVE KELLY EDNA KLAGES MRS.

The faculty has been as much a part of our four high school years as any basketball game, square dance or operetta.

The Tide NCE more as the school bell rang, boys and girls had to turn from the sunny beach and cool Atlantic to the big brick building on Lindell Boulevard. Even before programs were settled and classes fixed, the Tide staff was busily at work pre- paring the first issue for publication. Our new and very capable Editor was Renie Lurie, whose first issue was a mild sensation. It was especially well received not only because of its superior quality, but also because it was a product of our own print shop. Working very closely with Renie were Feature Editor Barbara Rothbart, Sports Editor Joe Morris, News Editor Pat Nugent, Business Manager Rhoda Fisher, and Art Editor Jack Defranza. In january, when Renie left, ready to step into her place as the new Editor in Chief was Pat Nugent. Sondra Karp was appointed the new feature editor and no one will forget the way she practically dragged literary masterpieces from her feature staff. Louise Levis, worked quietly but diligently at producing a good front page. Howie Dubin who had worked closely with Joe Morris continued a very interesting and well written sports page. The work done by Mel Wolff and Charlie Gelfond as Business Manager and Managing Editor respectively was very valuable and the Tide is very fortunate that they will be here again next term. Everyone on the staff enjoyed writing the material and from the comments of the students, they enjoyed the finished product also. 13 eneral rganization 14 T is strange that only the smallest percentage of agreements between nations have been ulti- mately ancl lastingly successful. There can only be one reason for this. Either stubbornness or fear prevents the settling of the disputes that crop up by compromise. The great intelligentsia of today should take notice of the children', whose opinions and methods they ignore or condescendingly criticize. Last September, after a year's preparation con- stituting much time, effort and research on the part of the high school students, the finest General Organization in eight years started functioning. After a week of whirlwind campaigning including speeches, posters and other types of bally-hoo, the first G. O. elections were held. A regulation voting both from Mineola was used and the procedure was the same as during any municipal, statewide or even national elections. The officers were Paul Marinaccio, President, Steve Lazaras, Vice Presi- dent, Carol Schultz, Secretary, and jerry Kerner, Treasurer. These four immediately fell to the tasks of establishing a G. O. store and chartering all extra-curricular clubs and activities as active parts of the G. O. Incidentally, the store is now a thriv- ing business selling almost every supply needed by the student. It is on the plan of a good college cooperative. The spring term passed swiftly and soon it was again time for elections. Popular Paul repeated as President while Jay Price, a junior, Pat Nugent, and Roy Schwartz filled the positions of Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer re- spectively. With the advent of the Student Court, the G. O. was able to fulfill its purpose as mediator between student and teacher and as main booster for citizen- ship and sportsmanship. A H, HOUGH not the most successful of Long Beach's athletic teams, Coach Roy Illowit's 1947 football squad provided its share of thrills, spills and exciting moments. Undoubtedly the highlight of the schedule, even though it ended in the Long Beach loss column, was the mid-season 10-6 defeat at the hands of our traditional gridiron rivals, the Ocean- side sailors. A wildly cheering Long Beach FOOT student body was brought to its feet as they watched the Blue and White explode into a quick six point lead, only to sink back into their seats as the visitors slowly cut the lead from six to two points. Then, with the clock ticking off the final 30 seconds of play, Oceanside attempted a desper- ate 35 yard pass which clicked, resulting in a Frank Merriwell finish and giving Oceanside a storybook victory. BALL The season's opener, a non-league affair, played upstate against a tough Washington Irving Eleven, resulted in a good showing for Long Beach but a better one for our opponents, as evidenced by the 19-13 score. After playing to an exciting 6-6 tie with Mal- verne, we came up with our one and only victory of the year against the hard-fighting Woodmere gridders, with a single touchdown providing the margin for a 6-0 victory. Lynbrook, a championship contender all season long, found the Long Beach team, paced by the fine line play of Larry Hayes, one of their tough- est opponents, and were hardpressed to come up with a 19-7 victory. A 26-O pasting at the hands of the champion Southsiders explains itself. The season's finale was a 15-0 loss to East Rockaway, with the winners looking no more impressive than the losers. BASKETBALL URING the 1947-48 Basketball Season the Varsity encountered some very rough going, but in an erratic fashion they played some fine basketball. While the overall record of seven wins and eleven losses does not speak highly of its prowess, the team showed flashes of ability on the nights when they were Shot. The result of two games against Central present the most shining example of two good evenings by our five Central, a top notch team, was defeated in two encounters with the Blue and White. However, nights of glory like that one were a scant few for the High School Hoopsters, who had to be satisfied with fifth place in section two of the S. S. A. L. standings. As far as the record goes, the locals opened the season with a 38-34 loss to Lawrence. During the course of the campaign our favorites dropped both engagements to Woodmere, Southside, and Malverne, and split a pair of games with Lynbrook, Oceanside, and East Rockaway. The Suffern Cats journeyed down from Sulfern, N. Y., only to meet defeat at the hands of our ball-hawksi' to the tune of 38-30. The high point of the season was the teamis week-end trip upstate to Hornell, N. Y. This game gave Long Beach the opportunity to demonstrate the type of ball that had been con- tinually drummed into their heads all season long by Coach Bob Gersten. Although the club was not so confident as it had been in previous en- counters, a surprising brand of both ball-handling and team work, enabled them to come close to one of their biggest upsets of the season, and were it not for the poor officiating, the boys would have come back with a clean sweep of the series, and a psychological shot-in-the-arm. Despite this temporary setback, the team posted an easy victory over a much inferior Corning Squad. Coach Bob Gersten is the man who sweated it out with the team through all the joys and dis- appointments of a competitive sport that he him- self had mastered to a high degree, and is the only one who deserves both our sympathy and praise for the headaches suffered by a basketball coach. Working with what at the beginning of the season was a young and for the most part in- experienced team, he is to be highly commended for the good showing that the courtsters of LONG BEACH HIGH made .... This past season, team honors for high scorer went to Gene Carbona, who had a total of 146 points in 16 games, nosing out Wendell McPhee by 15 points. Gene was also the high individual scorer with. 19 points on two occasions. Bernie Fisher was third in the scoring race with 95 points. Gene Carbona, Billy Ryan, and Vinnie Klemmer, will not be back next season, but aside from the V. men that will be making the jump to the varsity, the team will be molded around Roland Perry, Donny Walters, and Bernie Fisher, Wendell McPhee, and John Nosworthy. Wendell was on the second string V. last year but showed great possibilities. This year he moved up to first string varsity and was one of the stead- iest men on the team. There is no reason why someone else should not duplicate his feat next year. Though next yearis team will miss Gene Carbona's fine play under the boards and Bill Ryan's great floor work, the future L. B. basketball picture still looks good. re-stling ORKING with what was a young and comparatively inexperienced group of boys at the beginning of the season, Coach Roy Illowit managed to turn the 1947-1948 mat season into one of the most successful that Long Beach has seen in many years with a record of four wins and six losses. The most consistent wrestlers on the squad during the season were Donny Taussig, Stan Rud- dock and the two graduating grapplers, Al Bomser and jack De Franza. However, it was in the post-season South Shore Class B Wrestling Championships that Roy Illo- wit's boys showed their real mettle. With a total of 63 points the Long Beach Wrestling squad took the class B South Shore Wrestling Championship by 8 points over our nearest rivals, the grapplers from Oceanside. In the 103 class, Paul Bedell reached the nnals on a bye, and pins in 4:25 and 3:14 over his opponents from Malverne and Lynbrook and took second place when Oceanside's Hull-Ryde pinned him in 3:02 in the finals. At 112 though we had no one in the finals, the consolation match involved two Long Beach boys, with Bill Kiernan tying Al Sutton for third place with the referees decision going to Kiernan. Long Beach took lirst and second position for 11 points at the 121 pound mark when Jack De Franza, in one of the best matches of the day, pinned his teammate Andy Segura at 7:37, for the first of Long Beach's 3 Class B championships of the night, and also won the Metropolitan A. A. U. meet in New York. The second championship was won by 128 pounder Stanley Ruddock, who put up his usual good show in registering his third decision and third pin of the tournament, a 4:22 pin of his Oceanside opponent. Though we took second place in the next four weights, Al Bomser's loss was very close and was a great match all the way, and the pin called against Hal Battani was a very poor call, and actually was not a legal pin. These 4 seconds netted us 16 points, At 165 pounds, Donny Taus- sig continued his winning way, taking a 5-0 de- cision over Nielson of Malverne, after a 5:21 pin of Burgner also of Malverne in the prelims, for our third championship. Girls' Sports 1947 saw many changes but one of the more noticeable was in Girls' Sports. Long Beach High joined the Long Island Girls Association and was offered the opportunity to participate in inter- scholastic events. The long bus rides when there weren't enough seats, the broken fingernails, the Senior trip with Aunt Clara CMiss Ditchikj and P0ky CSheila to a volley ball playday at New York University, the thrilling game in which the Seniors defeated Oceanside, the Boys' Basket- ball Cheering Squad, the candy canes at Mepham and our basketball playday at Lynbrook are the things the girls of Long Beach will not forget for a long time. Gym classes became more interesting and the girls took advantage of every opportunity to prac- tice their skills. The 5th period gym class was very pleased when they defeated the boys in a volleyball game and the Seniors of the second pe- riod class made a record in basketball. Because of the enthusiasm the girls showed new activities such as stilt walking, modern dancing and bowling were organized. To climax the Intramural activities and the Girls Athletic Association gave a banquet at which Long Island Girls Association awards were given out. Jeannette Romanescu earned a numeral and shield while the following Senior girls received a numeral, shield and letter, which were awarded on a point basis: Helen Andreoli, Florence Fischer, Sheila Kaminow, Joyce Rohr, Carolyn Salzberg. The highest award, a gold key, was awarded to Carolyn Salzberg. The singing of class songs and a guest speaker completed a very enjoyable eve- ning. These events were made possible through the combined efforts of Mrs. Propper and Miss Ditchik. usic ONG BEACH is proud of its music depart- ment, and well it may be. Through the years, this branch of our school has been consistently outstanding. In the fall, Mr, Brown ,leads his echelons on to the field and marching practice begins. Soon he has a well-drilled corps led by seven very expert and very cute drum majorettes. His blue legion- naires manage not only to form the best marching band on Long Island, but also to get themselves in to very interesting formations, ranging from bells and shamrocks to bubble pipes. Along with proving their own skill between the halves of grid contests, the band plays a very important part in cheering our football team into victory. Where the team goes, the band goes, and because of crowded buses this leads to many amusing and sometimes hilarious consequences. As the weather grows colder, the music De- partments activities are restricted to indoor enter- tainment. Mr. Brown then begins planning for his two big productions, the concert and the Christ- mas assembly. By coordinating the activities of the talented dance-band, orchestra and choir, he man- ages to produce shows that are professional, smooth and vastly entertaining. This year the outstanding numbers in the concert were Chocolate Soldier, Yuletide Echos, The World is Waiting For the Sunrise and the Wiffenpoof Song. The skits that were given as part of the Christmas Show were enjoyably corny and the music as usual was excellent, the hits being Lovers Leap, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and especially Jingle Bells. Our imes 1947 and 1948 were revolutionary years-years that found the world changing in every respect and we discovered that we were changing with it. Our skirts became less and less revealing as the hems crept slowly toward our ankles. We traded our dun arees and menis shirts for ballet sli ers and stockin s. Chocolate 8 PP 8 bars returned at six cents instead of five. The crew-cut crowds discovered that bubble gum was back, to the consternation of teachers and parents alike, and with the ending of as and oil shorta es, the line of old 'alo ies once more a eared in front of the 8 8 l P PP school. And-we had a snow storm which surpassed the blizzard of '88, so they say. Snow piled up to 25 inches and turned the long suffering Long Island Railroad into an over- night housing project. Heating, lighting, and transportation were almost completely crippled. Though the adult will curse the storm for various reasons, the student will always berate it for having occurred during Christmas Vacation, but, that is the way of the student. It did, however, seriously affect him, oh yes! He was put to work shoveling snowg all his many plans and parties had to be postponed and in some cases entirely abandoned and for weeks he went about on foot having snowball fights at the least provocation. Even though you might think differently, all the important and world-shaking events did not occur in Long Beach or in Long Beach High. The years 1947 and 1948 will be remembered for the controversial Taft-Hartley labor law, the seizure of Czechoslovakia by Moscow dominated Communists, Cookie Lavagetta's pinch-hit double in the fourth game of the 1947 World Series, the Palestine Partition problem, the over abundance of Presidential candidates, and the wayward bus driver who decided to take a trip to Florida, bus and all. When we consider that this, our graduation year, is a year of crisis, and that each and every second, events are happening which will have direct bearing on our future lives, we must turn from this light vein and become sober and serious. We must realize that the world today is a powder keg ready to explode at the least provocation. Never- theless, no matter how realistic and comprehending we have to be, we cannot allow Worries concerning ominous forebodings of future events to replace all the rich and pleasant memories of our youthful years, which we hold dear. Throughout the period when the world was so full of hate and belligerency, our class with its Maranaccios, Ryans, and Nussbaums was able to work together closely and in harmony toward the goal we are about to achieve. Let us therefore never forget these last few happy, fruitful years which were and always will be, Our Times. 23 RONALD ALEXANDER - Ronnie . . . Assistant editor of Tide...Echo...Art...

This was a step in the direction of tragedy. The Dramatic Department felt that Long Beach High had had enough entertainment and some education in the ways of true Drama was in order. Appearing again in this play were our graduating thespians Miriam Singer and Vin- cent Klemmer. Though the reception to this play was not as encouraging as it was to the first play Antic Spring, produced in December of 1947 starring the Seniors Rhoda Fisher, Renee Lurie, Sondra Friedman, Miriam Singer and Vincent Klemmer, it was enjoyed by all. Their second play done, the Dramatic group devoted its efforts to the Senior Play, The play decided on by the Seniors themselves was Janie Mrs. Klages and Mrs. Bell together with two students chose the cast which resulted in Janie being played by Miriam Singer, Scooper Nolan by Vincent Klemmer, and Dick Lawerence by Steve Lazarus. Much effort was put into this production, but all who participated in it enjoyed themselves immensely. The finished product turned out to be well worth the laborious effort put into it. Through the Dramatic Director, Mrs. Bell, Sondra Freidman was able to secure a scholarship to the Carnegie School of Dramatic Art for the February semester. Miriam Singer and Vincent Klemmer tried for the September scholarship. 9 2 Music ITH the coming of Spring and the melting of the snows, also comes the time for the annual operetta and Mr. Brownis real work then begins-first, the selection of the operetta itself, then selection of the cast, then rehearsal, after rehearsal, after rehearsal, and finally the produc- tion itself. This thumbnail sketch cannot give one any idea of the work entailed. Mr. Brown must be given a great deal of credit for his perseverance and expert direction. This year's production, Pa- tience had four Seniors in starring roles, joan Banvard in the title role, Steve Lazarus as Gros- venor, Helen Slattery as Saphir, and Sheila Kami- now as jane. This operetta dealt with twenty love-sick maidens and the prom-conscious senior girls believed it to be very timely. Running Mr. Brown ragged is his schedule of spring musical events. Following the operetta is a grade school concert and then the annual Swing Show in which the music department runs wild. This last is always a success and probably always will be. With it all, Mr. Brown leads his talented Swing in Schooltimeu group, made up of the best musicians throughout the county, in concerts taking place in Glen Cove, various other places and ending up in New York's Town Hall early in June. Long Beach was the location for one of these outstanding shows this year and was very proud of its favorite sons and daughters such as Roy Schwartz, first trumpet, Ellen Gussow and Herbie Hiller, first violins, and Esta Feldman, Florence Fisher, joan Banvard, and Ruthe Buss, making up the major portion of the choir. Mr. Brown and his chief aides de camp, Messrs. Young, Ruddock, and Phillips plus the music department take up their leisure time with a Talent show and gradua- tions here and there. With it all they try to keep busy. K I Arista HE spring term is the one in which the ma- jority of school activities usually take place. The Arista this year is not an exception. Each March a refrain can be heard echoing through the halls of Long Beach High. Yes, it is the Arista Popularity Contest to which the entire school looks forward each year. This year, the penny a votel' receipts were collected in large spurts. This was due to the competition between Beth Silverfein and Jeanette Romanescu. ln the finish Jeanette won, but it was a close race. As for the boys, Eugene Carbona won hands down. Part of the money is being donated to the Scholarship Fund, and the rest will be disposed of through the discretion of the Arista. The Presi- dent, Steven Lazarus has done a fine job in the organization of the Arista's activities. A movie had been planned but was tabled for next term due to the difhculty in obtaining the films. The annual field trip was the Yankee-Detroit baseball game which was played at the Yankee Stadium. The entire organization had a wonderful and interesting time to say the least. The fall term had Jeanette Romanescu as its President. Although the term was short a Christ- mas party and dance was given. Both were suc- cessful. jeanette's popularity was exemplified by the fact that she was elected President of the Arista while in her 4A term. This broke a long standing tradition. Plans for the future include the bringing up to date of the Arista plaque which hangs in the auditorium. Baseball HIS season the Long Beach fly-chasers started the season with a promising and potent squad. The infield housed a fast,L hard throwing quintet composed of Artie Golden at the initial sack, Vinny Klemmer at second, Tommy De Luca at shortstop, and Bill Ryan holding down the hot-corner. In addition to their fielding abilities, this combination also had the needed power at the plate In Fausto Cimador, Donny Taussig, and John Maloney in left, center, and right fields, we had a very fast and potentially powerful corps of outnelder patrollers. We were well fortified in the catching department, which was ably drilled by Don Wreck Sonder- gard. His experience and knowledge of how to handle pitchers, plus his ability at, as well as behind the plate, made him a valuable player, of Coach Santay's '48 diamond squad. The pitching staff was again headed by the young, versatile, Donny Tausigg who also doubled in centerlield. Rounding out our comparatively young, but capable mound staff was Larry Levinson, Howie Gluck, Don Ostrove, Bruce Blinn, and Ray Keyes. Track ESPITE the absence of many of his '47 track stars, Coach Irv Gold was again able to send forth a squad in 1948 that Long Beach could be proud of. Returning in the distance events were crack milers, Larry Hayes and Roland Perry, who took more than their share of victories in the course of the season. With only Bob Flapan missing from the Long Beach squad that did so well at the Penn Relays in 1947, We were well fortified in the sprints and dashes, with such speed- sters as Mort Diamond, 'the Class B quarter-mile champ, Bob Falcon, Artie Klemmer, and Stan Krafchick. Gene Carbona did most of the high jumping, and Andy Segura and Davy Brown, high men, doing the pole vaulting, rounded out the 1948 squad. Latin Honor Society NE of the most interesting events of the term, according to the Latin students, was the visit to the Roman wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City. After visiting the Museum the group had a theatre party. The play they saw was Medea, It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the students, many of whom had seen the motion picture l'Henry V the year before with the Latin Club. The Latin Society, each year, makes a practice of going to New York City and attending a show. In the future, the Latin Honor Society is going to exhibit to the High School, motion pictures concerning Roman life and culture such as The Last Days of Pompein and Ben Hur. i The present members of the Latin Society are Carol Schultz, Louise Levis, Connie Usenheimer, Steve Lazarus, Peggy Collins, Jerome Miller, Hugh DePritore, Arthur Oestereicher, Donna Mirarchi, Larry Baturia and Jeanette Romanescu. Mrs. Austin, acts as faculty advisor. The Latin Honor Society is an example of how scholarship and extra curricular ac- tivities go hand in hand to make Long Beach one of the finest schools on the Island. The Speech Arts Club HIS spring term brought forth a new club in Long Beach High School, 'lThe Speech Arts Club. It was organized by a group of students who wanted a medium for expressing their own ideas and opinions. Some students wished to be radio announcers and others wanted to be directors so they all joined together, to form our newest club. Thus far this organization has been able to offer the facilities of the school public address system to its members through the radio workshop. Here, under the direction of Mr. Kuhn, the members have been taught to prepare and produce the broadcast which begins the day at Long Beach High. By doing this, the group has learned microphone technique and also how to prepare copy for the air. By working in teams, sometimes listening and other times broadcasting the students have been able to observe each other's work and give valuable constructive criticism. Because of this the quality of their work has improved to the point where they have taken a professional attitude towards the work they do. The activities of the club, however, are not limited to the use of the public address system. A debating team is being organized and at some future date Long Beach will participate in debates with other schools. The present members of this organization are Steve Lazarus, Paul Marinaccio, Pat Nugent, Ellen DeVries, Ruth Newberger, Jordon Dedwin, Thomas Connor, Irwin Wohl- man, Barry Kranze, Alan Gordon, Jay Price and joel Heller. 34 Men at Work ' 35 0 E., ,,,, , , , , , , gif , A W lp, H11 51 V iw.

After all, we cannot stay here forever, even though some of our classmates have been trying to for the past year or so. But even if we must relinquish our places as mighty Seniors, we will always remember the pleasures of school life and the fun we have had. We will always cherish each moment spent with our friends and teachers. One instance that will always rate high on our list of memories is the water fight Vinny Klemmer and Billy Ryan had in study hall. It seems that those two well-poised seniors would, one after the other, get excused from study hall to fill their mouths with water. As soon as Skip turned his back, they would fire awayfl Since it was an especially cold day, Skip realized they could not be perspiring and drew his own correct conclu- sions. So he took them both by the backs of their collars, dragged them into the hall, deposited them at the water-fountain, and ordered them to ure- fuel. Standing at four paces apart, under Skip's supervision, they slowly started walking toward each other and at the precise moment Skip'l said, Fire away, they did! Results: two very wet seniors, a nearly hysterical teacher and a tender memory! Then there was the time the senior girls de- cided to have a pajama party. Sweet, unsuspecting Carol Schultz offered her house as the refuge for the night, never dreaming thirty girls could make such a mess in a short fourteen hours. CWe all helped clean up in the morning, though, hon- estlylj By nine olclock, we had all arrived in our very best nighties.', Sheila Kaminow, in her brotherls long army underwear, Sandra Karp, in her red flannels with the feet in, Jeanette Ro- manescu in her pink shortie!' and of course, our Helen Slattery in that black evening gown. QShe really wanted to be differentj We had plenty of cold cuts and bread, we forgot the pickles. We had plenty of film but the camera didnlt work! Despite a few setbacks, we managed to keep each other awake the entire night and might add, far into the morning. Some girls made good use of their time, like Bebe Brackman who decided to wash her hair at about 11:00. Ellen and Barbara didn't close their eyes once that night, but some girls actually claimed to have slept from,one half to three hours. And Pat Nugent was certainly attractive after she fell in that puddle at two in the morning and the dye came off the pajamas and onto her! But the thing we will remember far into the future is the barber shop quartet that serenaded us from the safety of the cellar! fThank you Paul, jack, and Mellj The breakfast feast was eaten in three shifts, the first starting at three o'clock with a very good meal served up by Sandra Karp and Shirley Adams. The second shift did not enjoy the company of chefs and therefore had greasy bacon, soft eggs, and dirty pans. But the third shift found a clean pan and coffee pot, thereby enabling chefs Pat Nugent and Carolyn Salzburg to serve a meal comparable in taste to the first shift's efforts. The next morning was one of much inactivity and laughing especially over Gladyce, Ruth and Esta's senses of humor. Another experience that should be mounted in our hall of memories is the trip to the city to in- quire at the different hotels about our prom. Three groups of four each went in for the day. They traveled by car, trolley, bus, subway, cab and feet. CThe senior treasurer did not approve of any of the methods except the latter.j After a hilarious tour of the hotels most all met for lunch with the exception of Roberta, Pat, Mel and Marc who just had to have Chinese food! The rest ate in one of those quiet out-of-the-way restaurants Qthat nobody knows where it is nowj. After everyone had or- dered the same thing, turkey sandwiches, the con- versation turned to the weather, whereby Eugene made his now famous remark, oh, yes, it's so hot in here, I must take off my senior ring. Well, it was funny at the time! Anyway, they returned home, reported at the next meeting and we decided we would have our prom at the Park Central Ho- tel. Yes, that meeting was a memorable one too. The problem of who was to pay for the day's expenses was discussed. Naturally, those who went said the class should pay, but those who didn't said those who did go should pay. Some other of the wonderful experiences we'll always remember are, Skip's 7th period C3 class, the senior play rehearsals, our hangouts after the football games, Pines, the Senior girls' modern dancing in gym, the boys' party which never did materialize, serving the refreshments at the Forum Square Dance and every little thing that happened in our classes.
