'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. NANCY SIGNORINI

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 ....... .......,...........
