THE 1924 ODRANOE1. Ifaisturp uf the lass' uf 1924 I -in ' l V I I fly held an 'election in which Harold Carter was chosen President. this same meeting, Blue and Gold were selected as colors. Then followed a vear of hard work and lots of fun. H74-YJ King, the girls' home room teacher. The boys of 24', were invited, too. N SEPTEMBER. 1920, 102 little Freshmen green. as green could be. T eager to begin high school work and to participate in high school activities, began their career in Middletown Township High School. Verv earlv in their history this class, realizing the need of unity, At brought its I'reshman year to a close by giving a farewell party to Miss On the following September, 1924, being now wise young sophomores and realizing more than ever the advantages of class unity, held a meeting to reor- ganize. joseph Conover was chosen president. In October the Sophomores gave a Hallowe'en Dance in honor of the Juniors. 1923 declared that they had a great time. On the following May, 1924 again showed the school how remarkable they were. Imagine how proud little '24 felt in winning from the juniors and Seniors the local May Day Fete banner. After another summer's vacation, the class of 1924 returned to dear old M. T. H. S. The year's work was begun amid the noise and confusion of the erection of a new wing. which was being added to the high school building. How happy the Juniors were on the day when they first had classes in the new building. Then came elections! 1924 showed that it was a lirm believer in woman's ability and right to hold high office, for Marjorie Horn was chosen as their class president. - ' During this year the importance of the Juniors was felt in the social world. There was that delightful party which the Seniors gave the juniors, a successful junior dance. and the junior reception for the Seniors. The crowning event of the year, however. was the junior Review. The- mere mention of the Parade of the 1Vooden Soldiers recall pleasant memories to all who had the opportunity of seeing the review. 24 had its academic achievements also. WV ere not two mem- bers of 1924 on the debating team during junior year? In athletics, too, 1924 won honors. Again 24 won the local May Day banner which it had wrested the previous year from the Seniors and juniors. During the Junior year, 1924 had the difficult task of choosing its class Then all too quickly came Senior year. The members of the class of now found themselves with the difficult task of upholding Senior dignity wisdom. 1924 had found that they, as Juniors, had elected as president, a of exceptional class spirit and devotion to class interests. Marjorie Horn again re-elected Class President, Earl Lucas was chosen as Vice-Preslc Dorothy Smith as Secretary and james Bussom. Treasurer. Fete 1. ing. H943- l and gi rl was ent, Tliroughouttits Senior year 24 has planned and worked to obtain money enough for an educational trip to XVashington. But a large sum of money was required to buy tickets for so large a class. For this purpose the Seniors have sold candy all year. Two dances and a Senior Fair helped also to swell our Treasury, but it required the proceeds from the Senior play to complete the amount for the XVashington trip. No Senior will ever. I am sure, forget .fXll-of- a-Sudden Peggy. Every member of the cast well deserved the congratulations they received and to Miss johnson who coached the play, 1924 owes a lasting debt of gratitude. So that M. T. H. S. would not forget 1924 the Seniors on Arbor Day planted an evergreen tree. Buried beneath the tree are the names of the members of the class. Soon they will be, as the song says, Lost, lost in the wide, wide world. It is to the end that they may not be lost entirely that their spirit may still live in M. T. l-l. S. that we have written his history of the class of 1924. VIOLETTE MURRAY '24. STANl.EY PHRANER '24. 11

THE 1924 ODRANOEL Qlilass rnpherp S THE years pass on the now far away future becomes the present and our high school dreams materialize into fulfillment or disappoint- ment. NVe have all vaguely planned our vocations, and so let your- self slip some ten or fifteen years into the future when this prophecy T 'oe W may be true. Miss Dorothy Ackerman is fulfilling her contract with the Annette Keller- mann Company by posing as a model for bathing suits at a salary of 3325.000 a vear. Red Bank's leading dentist, Robert Brown, is wondering how he can leave his patients long enough to participate in the Olympic International meet this year. Edna Booth is teaching in a rural school near New Brunswick. james Bussom, the president of the Popular Trust Company, of New York, has just returned from a holiday at Palm Beach with his wife and little daughter. The great dam engineered by Charles Corse, across the Colorado River, has created an inexhaustible supply of water for the State. Mr. Corse has been offered several contracts by European concerns, but being a family man. he prefers not to leave his happy home in America. Spanish plays hold an important part in the dramatic program of New York City since the noted actor, Harold C arter, has shown his preference for Spanish roles. joseph Conover is at last to make use of his knowledge of Castilian Spanish, for he has been appointed Ambassador to Spain. It is said the peanuts sold by Henry Conover at the Leonardo Railroad Station are almost as delicious as those which he sold some years ago for the Senior Class, of M. T. H. S. A prosperous farmer of New Jersey, Clifford Cooper, has been elected presi- dent of the American Farmers' Co-operative League. A Miss Mae Crawford, a graduate of St. Luke's Hospital of New York, now has a position as a trained nurse in the Rockefeller household. Miss Pearl Cobb refreshes many weary travelers by the delicious meals which she prepares on the dining car of the Seabright Express. Miss Florence Davies, who is Finishing her ten-year course in aesthetic dancing, is to appear, on her return to America, at Keith's Hippodrome. ' Ennis Estelle is to be heard nightly announcing from radio station B. U. L. L. The Rumson Band is scheduled to appear next week at the Capital Theatre. Its leader, VVilliam Fiordland, may give some saxophone solos. Miss Etta Grenger has at last realized her childhood ambition to be a singer. She gave a recital over the radio recently, representing the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The newspapers announce that Myron Golden has just been chosen to repre- sent the United States in the XVorld Court. XVe feel that now Europe has no need for a peace plan. Miss Majorie Horn is Superintendent of the Kindergarten Department of the New York School system. Miss Alida Helwig, a graduate of Glassboro Normal School, has proved that a woman can have a career and be happily married. VVith her husband, she is teaching in the Shiloh High School. , The United States Government has no difficulty in securing funds to enable it to function, since Dan Hendrickson became Chairman of the House NVavs and Means Committee.
