In the crucial days which lie ahead of us we earnestly hope that we may be- come part of our country s tremendous war efforts During our years in school we' have been taught the principles of derrtocracy. We hope that we, too, as welll as our fighting forces, will help to keep these dem- ocratic principles part of American life. We are de- termined that with our help, this government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

This happiness, I hope, is being shared by your families, your friends, and your teachers. This happiness, although tempered with a note of sadness when your thoughts drift back toward Pearl Harbor, Corre- gidor, or Bataan, must continue, for you are leaving school where your teachers were ever ready to lend a helping hand when things went wrong, to take your place as leaders in a war torn world. You are entering a business world that has been affected by war. Perhaps that job about which you have dreamed is no longer important compared with the urgent calls of our war industries and our government! Should you choose to follow this patriotic calling, remember it is only temporary. When this war is over, you, as a highly trained worker in a particular field, will be in great demand. During these trying times we must all find two kinds of service or employ- ment. One will bring dollars and cents in return, the other satisfaction and hope. The latter may include volunteer welfare work for our allies, volunteer services with such recognized organizations as our own Red Cross, U. S. O., or Minute-Women to promote the sales of war bonds. Be your service what it may. Go forth, do your share to make this a different but a better world for every race, color, and creedl MARY Q. CASSIDY DEAR GRADUATES: May I congratulate you upon your graduationl Although the joy of the occasion is a little dimmed by the grave condition of the world at this time, there is much for which you can be thankful. For one thing, when you seek that position for which you have planned, studied and trained during the past four years, you will find a greater variety of desirable positions open to you than have been available to graduates for many years. You will find also that the trade skills you have acquired will be in greater demand and so, higher salaries will be attainable, Better still, you will find yourself equipped to do a share in the total pro- duction so necessary to our country's defense in the great crisis we are experiencing. lust as vocational schools were ready and able to train and retrain men when the first call came for education for defense, so term by term, they have been privileged to turn out hundreds of young people like you, trained in skills now vital to our national welfare. I-low fortunate you are to be able to help your country and your homes in their dire needl How fortunate your country is to have so many thousands of young people like you, who appreciate their responsibilities and their power to be of service. lt is my hope that you will march forth and take your places in the great production army, knowing how much our country needs your services, how much our armed forces and civilians depend on your labor, proud that you you can and will contribute so much to final victory.

The memories include some of the happiest moments of our lives, spent in the halls of our beloved school. Let us reminisce a little. Remember that stormy day back in September when we first visited here? Remember our first and second terms spent in the Annex? Those were the happy yet confusing days when we spent much time getting acquainted with the school and our fellow classmates. Remember how terrified we were at the thought of entering the main building? Remember when we finally were third termers and were confused all over again? Remember, at the beginning of each term, how we were asked to pay for this and pay for that? We surely thought they wanted money for everything. Remember the phrase, Give me your program, please? Remember when elections came around, how every girl wore a gold or blue ribbon in her hair and went around campaigning for her candidate? Remember the various entertaining assembly periods we had? Remember how we couldn't wait for the day when we would wear blue smocks, and then remember how quickly that day arrived? Remember, six months after that day, a tiny yellow ribbon attached to our left sleeve which identified us as eighth termers? Remember our senior advisors-Mrs. Pohle and Mrs. Levy? Remember our representatives pleading for dues? Remember, how we all had our hair fixed, and how we all bought white blouses to have our pictures taken? Remember all the hard work we put into our senior play to make it a gala event? Remember the day we had our school dance, and invited the Stuyvesant boys! Remember the night of our graduation, how we nervously filed down the aisle and later proudly received our diplomas? Remember-ah, there are many memories, enough to fill an entire book! There are many memories that will always remain with us, and, although some of the memories may not be entirely happy ones, Warm kindly feelings will always accompany our remembering. PATRICIA ALEXIADES 1 k F' 1-- '-Qfwif - 'Ji 1 gl i X -WAR The world at present is bleak and gray, And you hate it more and more each day, But if you can smile and see it through Uncle Sam will be there protecting you. Yes, our boys are dying on foreign soil, But it's for you and you cmd you they toil. Of course this war will be long and tough, But it's our job to keep our spirits up. Whatever you do in time of need Is never too great or small a deed, Be it holding a gun inthe very front rank Or buying defense stamps at the bank. Perhaps you are knitting for an army lad Or giving your time with mother and dad. Whatever you do, no matter how small, Will help to make the enemy fall.

J PERSONAL Look neat at all times, but don't comb your hair in school. On Monday morning all necks are to be inspected to see if they have been washed during the week end. When you come to school tell your mother not to have any appointments. You may get sick. Mend smocks immediately, but not in your trade room. DURING CHANGE OE CLASSES During change of classes keep to one side of the hall. This is easy, for there is only one side. Only those going above the twelfth floor may ride. Everyone else must walk up. All elevators will stop at half floors. IN CLASSROOMS Only teachers are allowed to break windows. Therefore students are not to touch windows at any time. Girls will be told to remove smocks when it is hot in the office. IN LUNCHROOM Run around the Iunchroom to get on lunch line. This will help to give you an appetite. You may not hand money over the rail. lWhat about under it?D You may eat from the window sill but you may not look over at City College. When the whistle blows for dismissal stop talking immediately so that you may hear the teacher in charge scold all the girls who have not stopped talking. Use the down staircase down and the up staircase up, at all times except when going to the roof. Then use the down up. LAVATORY When you go to lavatory you must have a library pass. Do not use the paper to dry hands. Below the seventh floor use your petti- coat. LIBRARY When in the library use shelves for studying. The tables are for books. DISMISSAL Fold smocks without creasing. Monitors will attend to that. School hours are from 8:55 to 3:40. You will be marked late at 8:50. Early dismissals on assembly days C4:l5l.

Micky, with his devilish teasing laugh cmd funny dimple in his cheek. Yes, everyone knew Micky with his cheery good-morning and friendly smile. Micky, at twenty, laughed at this crazy world and the world laughed back at him. Sure, Micky loved life and he knew just what he Wanted from it It you had met Micky, you would have had no real reason for remembering him. He was just another tellow to everyone except to those who really knew him. Micky could be seen most any day of the week in his dark green trousers and hat and his brown and green jacket. No, you probably wouldn't think twice about him, yet those who knew him will never forget him. l know I will not. It you had troubles, you could go to Micky and tell him. He would listen to you, sympathize with you, and while you were finishing your tale of woe, that funny little dimple would start dancing about and your troubles would, after all, not seem quite so serious. 7 .vt.,2ff.w '- --H ' ' ' ' WF Of course, Micky had his serious moments, and one of his most serious thoughts was about joining Uncle Sam's Navy. One day Micky's dreams were realities. He was in the navy. Yes, he strutted his uniform down every street in Astoria. Conceited? No! just oh, so proud! Then Micky left for the most important part of his life. He saw the world and thrilled to every minute in the navy. Then one day he was sent to Pearl Harbor on the U.S.S. Utah. We, back home, joked about his having a good time and getting paid for it. Yes, he was paid for it but he paid back at a very high cost. Then one terrible day a newsflash was heard on the radio-Iapan was at war with the United States and had bombed Pearl Harbor unmercifully. The U.S.S. Utah was at Pearl Harbor and somewhere on that boat was a young boy with a dimple and dancing eyes and a teasing little laugh that made you smile just to hear it. Yes, he was reported dead, but if you knew Micky you would say, No, Micky's not dead. Micky loved life too much to give it up so quickly. One sunny day Micky will walk down our block and laugh at us for crying over him. Yes, he will stand there tall and erect in the uniform he loved, his green eyes dancing, and his funny little dimple showing clearly. DOROTHY MURDOCK SYMBOL OF DEMOCRACY Here I stand alone, on the threshold of my free home, watching and caring for my people. Did I say alone? No, I am never alone. Even if my children are not with me at present, they will soon come into my waiting arms. You see, I am the mother of a hundred million children. Children who were weary and tired and desperate. They came to me and I gave them my strength and my love. They are strong now, and united. They know that the freedom I have given them is just, and now when there is danger of this freedom being destroyed, they are fighting to preserve it, and the symbol I represent. My boys are gallant and my girls are strong. I have done a good job as a mother of these children, and I have complete confidence in their ultimate victory. When this tragic era is over, I will still stand erect at the threshold of my home and wait for my children and for other poor frightened creatures to come into my arms. I will make them strong again and we will live in my home-the home of Liberty. PATRICIA ALEXIADES -'li '-tt: TAKE OUT YOUR ASSIGNMENT BOOKS! matter what language that sentence all of us. Before it is spoken, there there is a feeling of curiosity about is given, there is a worried feeling throughout the classroom. I know that this is true because I have experienced all of these emotions since the day before yesterday, when my English teacher spoke those hated words, and this essay is proof of what homework really is. Take out your assignment books! No is spoken in, it has the same effect on is a feeling of anxiety. After it is spoken, what is to come.

That feeling of anxiety is caused by homework. My hopes that we will not get an assignment are not usually realized. The feeling of curiosity is almost as great as the feeling of anxiety. The reason for this is that both usually have the same ending, a bad one. When you are Worried about whether or not you are going to get an assignment you usually get it, and when your curiosity is aroused by that hated sentence, it is usually satisfied in an unsatisfactory way, like getting an essay to write. The feelings of anxiety and curiosity are nothing compared to the feeling of actually settling down to the homework. All students will understand exactly what I mean, because they usually go about doing it in the same way. You keep putting off doing your homework until a better moment-a moment which is usually the last moment. When you sit down to do your homework, ' :Jr-,ll anew-,z-'nur' - 1-y-fe that seems to be the signal tor everyone in the family to give you competition. Father goes to sleep, but father snores. Mother begins to sing while your older sister tunes in on her favorite band, which by the Way, is a noisy one. Your youngest sister decides to chastise her baby doll by spanking it and giving it a good loud scolding. This isn't all, though. Inspiration about what to Write will not come until you finally decide to write an essay on Some thoughts about homework. I have given this topic a great deal of consideration and I have come to the conclusion that there is only one thing to do when the teacher utters the words, Take out your assignment books! -lust think how good the finished piece of Work makes you feel.

Now, I am sure that quite a number of people will define this term simply as an instructor. Well, I disagree with them because I believe a teacher is more of a builder than an instructor. It is certainly not very difficult to make a student remember a few lines of poetry, but it is quite another job to build the fundamentals in that student, to make her interested in her work. To be such a builder, you have to possess partic- ular qualities which few teachers acquire. A permanent place in my memory belongs to those teachers who have these assets. One of the most important qualities is naturalness. A student does not want a horn-rimmed teacher who, through her looks and voice, tries to frighten the spirit out of the classy neither does she want to see one of those ultra-modern glamour girls sitting in front of the room attempting to captivate the student's attention through her rather superficial and perishable charms. A pupil likes a teacher who gives herself as she is without any pretenses, being broad- minded within certain limits, determined without being stubborn, and patient to the very point where even patience is not effective any more. Those are but a few virtues necessary for a successful teacher. Another essential one is an extensive knowledge of a particular subject and all the subjects related to it. This is necessary because in discussions the speakers do not always stick to the same subject and the teacher should never be at a loss for information. But the most important feature of teaching is the use of psychology, which is the study of the mind, its activities and reactions. This is of primary import- ance, as the teacher must know what causes a student to give a Wrong answer. Adjustments will have to be made, as not every child is ready and willing to learn. The teacher should try to make lessons to such a child, not a penalty, but a privilege, bringing out the good points to attract the student's interest. Praise should not be Withheld if a child shows effort. Human nature always wishes to be complimented, and encouragement from the teacher will inspire the student to render her best work. Thus the practice of the principles of psychology influences chi1dren's willingness to learn. Looking back upon what I have written, it is quite difficult to imagine the existence of many such teachers. Those I have met have left an indelible impression upon my mind. May they long continue to inspire those hungry for knowledge! MARION FLEISCHER 'Vi.'Vf f 7 'Y:Qw '-I I CCNTEST WINNER Now that the essay is finished, I'm sure first prize I shall win, And with the money that I receive My career I shall begin. I'll go to Arizona, From state to state I'll roam, And when I become tired, For a rest I shall come home. That stunning green dress I will purchase, The one I've always wished for, And a lovely fur coat, mink or sable, Shall hang on my closet door. I'll have friends from near and far, Who'll invite me to parties and teas, I'll possess a shining black car, And live a life of perfect ease. Now let's see, where is that address, To which my masterpiece goes? What is the day when the contest ends? Why, look! Yesterday was its close! I ANNA GUASTELLA CDN THE ROOF Where is it that girls go after lunch on mild days? What is it that they take the down staircase up to? The school roof, of course! Our school roof is not a very big one, yet it is a very popular place. It is guaranteed to take your mind away from your troubles. The roof is the only place in our school where girls may talk above a whisper without having a summons handed to them. It is there you will find girls jitterbugging to their hearts' content. It is there you will find amateur photographers in all their glory. Some of the best times I have had have been on our school roof, and when I am an old lady I will still remember the fun we had taking Ye Olde Family Portrait.

There are two Student Councils-one for the morning and one for the after- noon trade girls. The president of the school, Anna Kovalchek, presides over both councils. The vioe-president, Santa Morici, acts as recording secretary for both councils. If a student breaks a school rule, she is given a summons to appear before the council. She is given a chance to speak in her own behalf and is then questioned by council members. When the council members feel that they know enough about the case to judge her, she is asked to leave the room so that the council may discuss her case. She then receives the verdict. For so young an organization, the Student Council has been extremely effective. Faculty Advisers-Mrs. Catherine Fisher and Miss Florence McKeon. STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Self-Government Organization is organized on a democratic basis. The government lies in the hands of the student body which our officers represent. This group is responsible for general order in the corridors, on the stairways and in the lunch room. President .........,,.... ........... A nna Kovalchek Vice-President ....... .......,...........

They also participated in the centennial program called The Century of Progress, which was given to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the Board of Education. SAVINGS SQUAD The Squad Captains are to be congratulated on the splendid work they have done this term. The five girls who have given their time so generously before and after school, selling defense stamps, have done an excellent job, and when this War is over, they can look back and truly say they played a definite part in helping to Win it.

Short were the years that have passed away As love for our school grew day by day, For we worked till all was put to right When the hours looked none too bright. And now too soon our work is done, And that shining glory now is won, But these years will always be A bright light till eternity. IOSEPHINE CAMPIONE Sn 'VV U 1 J v C -I V C E VI x 2 5 l I I N I 1.
