his spinach. We also enjoyed the cowboy ballads of YValter Kowalchuk and James Senese, as well as the singing and dancing of Basil Enright, Maxine Marsh, Magdalene Bernstoff, and Robert Eilenberger, and the Xylophone numbers of Edward Koch. We saw ourselves in the pictures taken of the foot- ball game between Mont Pleasant and Nott Terrace and spent the latter part of the evening dancing in the gym, and the next morning we were greatly pleased to hear the sum of the receipts that was contributed to help publish our year book. We will graduate, presumably, but there will continue to be Freshmen like us who tramp through the long, long corridors, marvel at our gyms and auditorium and who are amazed at its bigness or, to use a word befitting a Senior, Hspaciousnessf' VVe will be able to see ourselves in every Freshman who enters and gazes, bewildered by the multitude of upper classmen who swarm through the halls. But there will always be Freshmen who will take our places and who will eventually become Seniors. Catherine Callias. Eighteen

Lucile Hawkins, and as treasurer, Richard Hallahan, but more important than the election of our offiicers was the unanimous selection of Miss Brakebill and lVIr. Meara as our deans. Now, as Juniors, we were content to arrive in class just as the bell rang, for we still were just a little afraid to be late and brave the withering glances of the teachers. We pretended on our scornful faces utter disinterest in a D or an F, but often we were really a little worried. Once in a while we for- got to do our home work. Then, at last, after struggling through several Regents, we were Seniors. VVe no longer feared being late for class. Report cards worried us less. Most of us were now acquainted with hir. Spaine, hav- ing at some time discussed with him the subject of skipping school. We often depended on something similar to a miracle to get our home work done. During the two and one half years at Mont Pleasant, certain students were foremost in various activities. One of these is Marvin Dwore, who We hope will some day in the near future become the country's star tennis player. A double team composed of lllarvin Dwore and Francis Chamberlain may some day be practically unconquerable. Besides athletics, many of our class- mates will be outstanding in other activities. In later years, Anthony Barbieri will be a fiery orator in the United States Senate and will have as fellow sena- tor none other than George Bernadt. Undoubtedly, Virginia Hogan will be successor to Madame Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins. VVhen we finally became 4A's, a great event happened which was of as vast importance in our little world as the election of the President of the United States. The officers elected for our class were: William Boehm, presi- dent 3 Richard Hallahan, vice-president, Ruth Kerley, secretary, and jack Miklowitz, treasurer. VVe were not quite so irresponsible as we had been as 4B's, for our day of graduation was approaching and a feeling of uncertainty was hanging over us. Even the stars cannot foretell what will appear on the Regent papers. On a Friday night, November 16, the second annual presentation of Hi-links was given in our auditorium. The performers included one of our classmates, Perry Vedder, and his partner, Georgie Hall, who literally brought down the house with their tap dancing. VVe believe that Perry's name should be in lights on Broadway right now. What gave us a pleasant glow of satis- faction was seeing our faculty return to school under the careful eye of Prof Stone. No one could resist laughing at Mr. Delehanty singing The Man on the Flying Trapeze and attempting to dance to its tune, and Mr. Sherley singing Poor Little Buttercupf, Juliet Morhous and Romeo Jordan enacted the balcony scene as it has never been acted before. The climax was reached when Romeo began to eat Wheaties in the manner of Popeye and Seventeen
