NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE When '33 Was Very Young NCE upon a time, on a n-ice sunshiny day in September, sixtyftwo mothers polished sixtyftwo little faces and sent their owners off to a great, big building called MERCHANTVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. Here the sixtyrtwo little girls and boys were put into a class room and given a name. Their name was THE CLASS OF '33. This room was next door to a place called the HLABH, where other little boys and girls mixed up things called chemicals which did not have a nice smell. One of their dear teachers, MR. BISHOP, thought it would be fun for the CLASS OF '33 to write 1,000 word compositions. All the teachers considered the one on BOYS very interesting. When finally June came, all the little boys and girls, thankful that their FRESHMAN YEAR was over, went on their summer vacations. When the SOPHOMORE YEAR began, the CLASS OF '33 was much bigger than it had been before, because a lot more little girls and boys joined it from PENNSAUKEN JUNIOR HIGH. There was a great deal of hustle and bustle at first, but at last every' thing was straightened Out. Some of the little boys and girls had a glorious time because they had FOUR different English teachers before it was all settled. They learned a lot of ENGLISH! Before the end of the SOPHOMORB YEAR, the GLEE CLUB gave an operetta called NTHE BELLE OF BAGDADI' Anne Casper was the BELLE, And then the CLASS OF '33 started to grow up. The little boys and girls were now JUNIORS. The boys began by winning the INTERfCI.Ass BASKETBALL CHAM' PIONSHIP. At the JUNIOR SUPPER the little boys and girls tried to find out who could break the most dishes. Richard Ballinger and Hobart Hankins, with a few teachers in close competition, broke the record. The class made 886.65 profit on this SUPPER. The next thing it did was to have a MOVIE BENEFIT. Everyone enjoyed joe Carson and Dick Haage's announcements of it. This benefit brought the CLASS 582.30 profit. During BOYS' WEEK, Martynette Firth and Marjorie Applegate were COUNCILMEN and had a free ride on a FIREfENGINE. Sad to say, MR. BISHOP, that same dear teacher, was arrested for shoplifting and sentenced to LKSIX MONTHS IN JAIL. The FRENCH CLASS read an interesting play called LE VOYAGE DE M. PERRICI-iON.H While they were dramatizing it, a little boy called JOE CARSON, kissed a little girl called CATHERINE BOOTH. FRENCH also had a queer effect on Elizabeth Johnson, for she walked into class with a paper crown on and called herself HTHB QUEEN OF THE NUTS. In the NLIPSTICK FROLICH the boys very kindly let the time run Over so that they might win a bet. Then came the SENIOR YEAR, and the sixtyfseven little girls and boys who were SENIORS felt quite grown'up. At first they were unhappy because their little friends were in different HOMEfROOMS, but they soon began to have a good time. Thomas Clydesdale tried to join the SR. TRIfHI Qby mistake?j Bob Johnson came from Conf necticut and thought Evaline Smyth an interesting little girl. Also, he paraded through the halls in his NIGHT'SHIRT during practice for UPEG O' MY HEART. This play 27
