To us, Tinker Bell, the light that guided Peter Pan, stands for knowledge, the light that guides us. To us, too, the Indians, who befriended Peter, symbolize the classmates and teachers who help us; and lastly. Captain Hook, Peter’s worst enemy, is chosen to represent our own arch foe, ignorance. hc Cell 10 Montvale High School €cL 0 Our Faculty We have not always fully appreciated them, We have doubted them, and even, to our shame, have sometimes criticized them, but here we wish to express our gratitude for the help they have given us in making our dream come true. ke C ' ck 10 Never Never Land is behind us. We have come to know our friends, Knowledge and Progress, and we have crushed our enemies. Ignorance and Superstition. We have now caught the gleam of that light toward which our inquisitiveness has driven us these four years. To Peter Pan that gleam was the light shed by Tinker Bell. To us that gleam has been the light of Knowledge.

SOPHOMORE Peter Pan, after his first year in Never Never Land, had become acquainted with Captain Hook, his enemy, and with the Indians, his friends. So we, also, after the first year of investigation and ex¬ ploration, have become acquainted with our enemy. Ignorance, and with our friend. Knowledge. We, however, not being content, are still investigating and exploring, following the urge of inquisitiveness. CAe C ' cL 0 SOPHOMORE Class Officers President . Vice-Preside7it . . . .

Peter Pan, curious and inquisitive and always desirous of knowing what was ahead of him, ex¬ plored the room where Wendy lay sleeping as if it were some newly discovered land. Likewise we, the Freshmen, as curious and as investigative as Peter, are exploring a newly discovered land, our first year of high school. FRESHMEN Class Officers Presidefit .

Never for an instant was he idle. If he wasn’t on the trail of the enemy, or displaying his friendship for the Indians in numerous acts of kind¬ ness, he was scurrying around his home among the tree roots, getting the children ready for bed or helping Wendy. We, too, have not been idle in our high school life. We, too, have spent our energies and time in many different activities. CAe £ clio Senior Play ‘ Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost” The Senior Class prsented this play in the Montvale High School auditorium, December 19, 1936. Aunt Samanthy Simp¬ kins, a man-hating, eccentric old maid, who owns a chicken farm, frightens all the suitors away from her nieces, Serena and Sophia who live with her. Serena is becoming just like her aunt, but Sophia rebels and starts something. She writes love messages on some eggs being shipped and signs them “Miss Simpkins.” Mean¬ while, Polly, the maid, buys some love powder from a fortune teller to whom she confided that Buddy Baskins, the grocery boy, does not return her affections. She puts the powder in lemonade which she intends to offer Buddy, But Samanthy and Lucien Littlefield, a widower whom Samanthy has always bitter¬ ly detested, drink the lemonade first. Then the hilarity starts for the powder really works. Samanthy is a changed woman. Serena, too, imbibes and is transformed. Samanthy’s two man- hating friends partake of the lemonade and try to take Lucien away from Samanthy. In the midst of all this, Lawrence Love- well, who has received an egg bearing a love message, arrives to claim Samanthy as his soul mate. In the end Samanthy relents and the curtain falls on a clear horizon. Dramatis Personae Aunt Samanthy Simpkins Serena Simpkins . Sophia Simpkins . Polly Paine . Annie Ambrose . Blanche Bowers .

One of the most important projects now in use is the communication system. Each room is equipped with a loud speaker which is connected with the amplifying unit in the office of the principal. This system makes devo¬ tional programs possible as well as announcements from the principal’s office. The auditorium of the main building is also equipped with loud speakers. Another important project is a completely equipped Home Economics Department which was completed last fall. On one side of the building is a modern apartment home, while the other portion of the building houses the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Other projects of the school are: An experimental home economics course in operation in the primary grades, a growing athletic program, a ' ‘portable store,” and hot lunches prepared by the senior home economics department, and served under supervis¬ ion in the classrooms at a nominal cost to the students. The school has a library which is operated by student librarians, consisting of twenty-two hundred books. A radio in the principal’s office can be used to bring educational programs, new broadcasts, special programs of interest to youth, and music to the pupils. All these things have helped the school a great deal. May Montvale show even greater progress in the years to come!
