 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Aladdin has certainly rubbed his magic lamp, transforming us from bewildered Freshmen to poised Seniors; for surely it was only yesterday that we occupied those four rooms on the third floor, and yet here we are in gay, friendly Room 19, endeared to every Senior. In a few weeks we will be graduated and so it is that we relive in spirit those days gone by since we first entered Mynderse. Freshmen days were times of utter confusion until we had our first meeting and very sensibly elected Gladys McCoy to lead us, with Jack Fyfe and Richard Ashton assisting. Miss Wagner, Miss Caldwell, Mr. Davidson and Mr. Wor-muth helped us to give an amusing masquerade, our first social venture. Then remembering the importance of finance, we sponsored a benefit movie, and brought our first year's activities to a successful ending. Chapter one was closed. Sophomore Year we elected Jack Fyfe as our president and Miss Cushman, Miss Vreeland, Miss Smith and Mr. Wormuth as our faculty advisers. Our party in honor of the post graduates was largely attended and very gay. This was followed later in the year by our benefit movies at the Strand Theatre, and the joyous picnic at Enna Jettick Park, in June, which ended our Sopho- more activities. Half of our high school days were behind, the less eventful half, and Junior Year was at hand. Mary Haley, president, Glenn Hamilton, vice-president, and Sylvia Gustafson, secretary and treasurer, were our Junior officers.

The second semester brought two major events—our play and the prom. The first, TheCall of the Banshee,'- through the untiring efforts of Miss Hathaway, was acclaimed the most successful characterization ever staged at Mynderse, and the prom—well, let me tell you about it. With the assistance of our advisers, Miss Compitello, Miss Miller, Mr. Baker and Mr. Brumagim, we decided to turn the gym into a moonlit Hawaiian scene with lofty palms and soft breezes. We had the usual difficulties; for the sky was too cloudy and the stars wouldn't twinkle through properly; but we did achieve the soft breezes, and aside from that palm that Mr. Baker painted, an atmosphere suggestive of leis and pounding surfs. The two hundred guests who danced to the strains of Don Davidson's zo
