These boys are our prize pupils. They have consistently attained better marks in both shop and academic sub- jects. They represent the cream in a bumper crop of potential aviation mechanics. The task of scanning three years of high school records to determine the boys who merit this honor has fallen for many years upon the very capable shoulders of Dean Weiner. It was no easy job, in view of the size of our class, and our deepest appreciation goes to our dean for his effort and concern. The senior class, the administration and the faculty are proud to have known these young men for the past three years, and to them go our best wishes for the utmost in future suc- cess and happiness.

from the bottom of our hearts From the bottom of our hearts Thanks for the memory Of books that weighed a ton Of bells that made us run A whale of a time for you and me In our alma mater S. A. T. We thank you so much. And thanks for the memory Of gas tanks that we built Of casein glue we spilt Of cylinder four and carburetor Of swimming pool and escalator We thank you so much. And thanks for the memory Of notes through which we'd dig And simple stuff like trig Of absence reports and a cutting card And 25 laps around the yard We thank you so much. Gee, we'll miss them all Our friends named Ben and Sam Whose specialty is ham The inner yard and the Hollywood Pepsi-Cola that tasted so good We thank you so much. We made you dizzy, we made you gray There's a tear in our eye, but all we can say Is thank you so much. And now we'll say goodbye We'll miss you, donit ask why You gave us the knowledge we will need Because of you we will succeed So-we thank you so much. AL DINHOFER

senior diary Gaze upon us, lower termers, for we have been granted the sacred heritage of seniorship. These garments which we wear faithfully serve as a sufficient reward for the three years of arduous study which we have all managed to survive. Indeed, the tree of patience seems at last ready to bear fruit. FEBRUARY: Brazen and bold as all new seniors are, we scorn outer clothing and catch innumerable colds exhibiting in nonchalant fashion our spiffy uniforms, wandering grimly through the wintry winds to the steps of our beloved mansion of learning. At last we enter the home of the great ones, the reconverted eighth term shop. Our new shop teachers gaze lovingly upon us, pat our cheeks and then gently turn us upside down in a search for loose shop funds. What a sight to gaze once more upon the A-17-S rivet. MARCH: Discarding our Davis lamps, for we come now to school in the light of early dawn, we enter upon a hectic election campaign. Our choice wins, having promised graduation in May, no draft for S.A.T. grads, and only nineteen laps around the yard. Money is the eternal cry. Whether cringing in one of the basement boilers or in the scrap metal pile, Mr. Bennett finds us. His eight pairs of roller skates are continu- ally being repaired by his slave squadron. Comes picture time, and all the matinee idols get sharpened up. Senior Spanos gets shave and hair- cut for the big occasion. Great talk about a school dance with the Julia Richman girls, but quick death to the idea because none of us knows how to dance. APRIL: Spring is in the air, and a man's thoughts turn to-money, money, money. We are assailed by reps for Solo, Log, Jewelry, Red Cross, and sundry individual benefits.
