Tl-IE FLIGHT GF Tl-IE MAGIC CARPET under Mr. Howard Thorne's direction was successfully organized. We passed through one memorable shower - not a shower of rain, but of gold. When We emerged, class rings gleamed on our fingers. The play, Maggie Fixes lt lived up to its name. It fixed our treasury, making it very beneficial. An enormous airplane loomed to- ward us one sunny day in April. Wie ran- sacked it and found what we had expects ed: food, flowers, gorgeous clothes, and music. The result was a banquet and the Prom , the biggest event of the year. Again the Vacation Cloud appeared before us. As before, we saw old class- mates leave and new ones joined our crew, but this time there were more than classmates. Mr. E. G. Groleau and sev- eral teachers left for other destinations, and as we went aboard for our final year we had a new guide, Mr. C. lVl. Puff. Together with these changes, we chose a new Lieutenant, Thomas Palmquist, and also a second Lieutenant, Virginia Conrad. We are now nearing the end of our journey-a journey never to be forgotten. Already We are slowly descending toward our goal. When this Carpet reaches the Gates of Graduation, we will all be ready to step from it, enter the gates, and pass on to other lands of opportunity. Our Magic Carpet is, after all, not a magical one, but a reality.

S., gently glided up into the atmosphere for a four- year journey to distant lands of know- ledge. From it honesty, co-operation, courage, and reliability fanned our cheeks fand also some bald headsj Our captain, Miss Elizabeth Fry, with the help of the Lieutenant, Francis Cotter, guided the Carpet with skilled hands. On one occa- sion we had a visitor in the form of the Sophomore Class, who held in our honor the Freshman Reception. Sometimes when the sun was setting or when the stars were shining above, we held Weiner roasts and skating parties. But soon a large cloud loomed before us, and We landed for a rest. The end of the first year had come. After a short visit on this Vacation Cloud, we again set sail. But something went wrong with the controls and we abandoned the Carpet fremember the strike?D Repairs were soon made, how- ever, and the trip continued. Floating too near the stars reminded us of movie stars. The outcome was that our own pictures were produced on the screen. It was at our second resting place that lVIr. Donald Reader became our cap- tain. During this year flocks of birds Hy- ing southward sang inspirations to us. A Student Council was formed and a Band
