MEMORIES Manhattan High School has given each and every one of us something to look back upon in the later years of our life. 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.

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.
