I-l I'-l iprnpherg nf the Gllzma nf 1933 june 27th, 1946 Mr. john McNerney, Forgotten Acres, New York. . Dear t'jawn : g Lay aside all distracting thoughts, and listen to my story. Here's some interest- ing news. hot from the latest issue of XVho's lNho in America . whose columns fairly scintillate with the accomplislnnents and achievements of the class of l933. N. l-l. H. S. My greatest thrill as a newspaper editor is the fact that l have inside information regarding people long before the public scans the press. This news l am forwarding so that you may get in touch with our classmates and invite them on your round-the-world yachting cruise. lack Field, VValdo Beach, and Charlie Maillard- Beau Brummels of high school days-are now embittered bachelors. Recently in an Anti-lNoman's Rights campaign they hired a hall to combat this menace. Scarcely had Charlie proclaimed before a packed house, Frailty, thy name is W'oman, when Helen Tolman. Vivian Berman, and Phyllis Stuart. at the head of a baud of frenzied women, charged the jammed hall. Burt Johnson, Mitch Garber, Phil Paolella, and Eddie Shia were injured in the wild stampede for exits. Bob Moon Mullen is not the great banker of his boyhood dreams but is asso- ciated with money, being chairman of the annual drive to secure funds to provide the poor Eskimos of Alaska with Eskimo Pies . The Misses Phyllis VVatrous. Louise Tator, and Lillian Mermin are active mem- bers of the Stitch and Chatter Chapter of the sewing circle. Edward Vanity'i McGarry is living in McGarry city, McGarry County, New York, where he and his McGarry Orchestra play in the M cGarry Hotel, situated ou beautiful Lake McGarry. Norty Levine and Herb Lipofsky were prominent New York barbers until sued by Harvey Edlin, popular sport scribe. who charged them with lntent'to Kill and False Pretensef' VV ith his haircut as evidence, Harvey was awarded the case by Ben Silverman, the judge. Don Soup Campbell is a famous jockey. lt is claimed that Don's success is due to his hair, which creates little wind resistance. Of our many screen heroines, Margaret Vlfeigle will long be remembered for her superb acting in XVei-Gals Leave Home . Saul Jacobson has resigned his position as Soapbox Orator to take over a po- sition in the Pudclicombe cold cream concern. Man's declining superiority was very noticeable in the world famous trial of Joy Goddard. Ruth Kimberly, and Georgia Holabird, who were charged by Art Coun- tryman. city prosecutor, of Under a Straw . Mass. with running a sweatshop', in which only men were employed. Jim Cooney and Bud Baker dramatically told of the cruelties indicted upon the men workers by Nancy Hogarth and Laura Stirl- ing, factory foremen. Ray York, to the hewilderment of nerve specialists, still continues to see Redd QKittyj. Louise Pickett, to the joy of all, has finally traced her ancestry to one Moxie- W'a-W'a . a prominent Revolutionary VVar Picket , who was killed at the battle of Fork's Bend . Louise is now a full-fledged member of the D. A. R. Jake Levy Qeej, famous engineer, is all broken up because of the many severe Hoods.

Have we at last assumed the important position in scholastic life or are we merely Juniors with a few more points? VVith new friends, -new teachers. new rooms, we gradually lit ourselves into this mold of seniority. VVith varying degrees of determination we set about the tasks at hand. There is the first call for football candidates. Under the skilled tutelage of Coach Bowen. another crack team develops. Smashing line bucks, long spiraling passes. loose-hipped sprints through a broken field. well illustrate the versatility of our well-oiled football machine, which ultimately annexes its second consecutive state title. Football, as usual, predominatcs but the other fall sports make themselves heard over the roars of the pigskin devotees. Tennis finds Milo Peck its Senior champion. An embryonic Jones. Palmieri. takes home the coveted golf title. A fine athletic year is tlms under way. Politics cuts a wide swath in school activities. Wlith December class elections arrive. Again the political infiuence pervades the school. As a rc- sult Lambert Irons assumes the ofhce of Presidentg Georgia Holabird, Vice-presi- dent: Ruth Kimberley, Secretary: Harry Dickinson. Treasurer: Eugene Coyle, Class Day chairman: Lillian Mermin, Class Motto chairman: and Donald Campbell. Class Gift chairman. The Christmas holidays arrive. Wfith Yuletide festivities still fresh in our minds. school presents a drab front. but back we return to the long trek. Athletics again take the center of the stage. A great basketball season is looked for. There is every reason to hope that the pin- nacle of success is at hand: a great coach, promising material. and Bobinski rolling 'em in as never before. That pinnacle, the championship, is snatched from us even on the moment of reaching it. Rho Alpha Gamma offers a cup to the winner of the hiter-fraternity Basketball League, which A. D. S. promptly takes over. The champion Hillhouse swimming team. although not the favorites, retain their honors in the Hnal Tri-meet. That sterling natator, Johnson. duplicates his extraordinary feats of the preceding year. Then, like the sun through the clouds. comes Happy Days . That highlight of every year presents scintillating entertainment. A dazzling stage. pleasing songs, amusing skits contribute to make this Happy Days the criterion of better high school presentations. Once more the track team upholds our athletic standards. March IS sees a Tuttle-advised group win the lnterscholastics. VVrestling and hockey. each with its share of hard fought battles, close successful seasons. The winter of our last year is history. The balmy days of spring are anticipated. The balminess fails to materialize, for March Zlst is a day decidedly reminiscent of some nights in mid-January. Graduation speakers are chosen: Wfaldo Beach, Lillian Plotkin, Margaret VVeigle, and Norton Levine. Marjorie Resnikotf, Anthony Paolilla and Pearl Myland find their places as class historians. For the benefit of the Milk Fund Happy Days is repeated. A fine turnout for First prac- tice bolsters the hopes for a championship baseball club. An oratorio is held at Troup, and the Senior Chorus Hoods the auditorium of that institution with its melodious tones. Time is slipping away. College-Board preparation is in full stride. ln the latter part of April the Glraui appears. True to the admirable precedent which the Glcfam has set. the issue is clearly of the first water as a school publication, and is put out under the editorship of VValdo Beach, with Pearl Myland as associate editor. and Donald Campbell as assistant. Then. although we have been conscious of its imminence for some time, the fate- ful moment is upon us. Shortly, we must sever definitely, the ties of sentiment. loyalty, and comradeship. which have ever characterized our associations with Hill- house. The soberness of the thought is momentarily thrust aside under the gayety and excitement of the great event, Graduation. ' JOHN WVELSH 20

'XX s lNl't-l'I-1' t It was only right for Hecky Tweed to enter the haberdashery business. Dwight Lewis, champion golfer and close friend of Tweed, thinks that because he is wear- ing a Tweed suit, that he IS wearing a Tweed suit, which he is and isn't wear- ing. Do you find it hard to grasp this, j'awn ? Ralph Sebastiani is the track champion of all points south of the Mason-Dixon line by virtue of his thrilling victory over Johnnie Urbanski. Gossip has it that Ted and Charlie Fowler paid Lester Aaronson one thousand dollars. Aaronson's shoe repair shop was set on tire by a burning Fowler Cigar . Fred McKeon, Jim Hinchlitf, Harry Dickinson, Fred Mott, and Bert Farrell are heroic sailors aboard Uncle Sam's Submarine S-89. This will not surprise you as everything was over their heads in high school. Frank Palmer is prominent as the founder of the For-hams University. jack Dreamy'l Minor is the headmaster of a high school in On a Decline , Nevada. An innovation in jack's school is the convenient placement of beds for weary and foot-sore boy pupils. After the resignation of Mr. Nettleton from The Sentinel big Bill Evans took over the Nettled State of Affairs. Let real QKjraftsmen Ironize your car' is the slogan of Lambert Irons and Louie Kraft, nationwide specialists in rebuilding automobiles. W'e were all astounded when Laura Read, janet Brigham, and Miggy An- drews, made a non-stop Hight around the world from New York to New York. lt was foolish to worry, however, as they always ended up just where they started. Retribution is the theme of Paul Massey's life. Paul is now owner of a popu- lar newspaper and is relentlessly campaigning to make the teachers take pay cuts. Dick Carroll is probably Americas greatest spendthrift. If he cannot secure the right Diamond QPinkyj he has sworn to be a bachelor. Anne Ahearn and Betty Voos have succeeded in selling the toothless savages in Africa a carload of toothpicks. Eleanor Kugel and Beatrice Ladin are the teachers of recreation at Spireworth School, New Haven. Milo Peck and Dick Guptil are the recipients of the William Rowland , trophy, an award presented to the most courageous and gentlemanly of men. They helped Kate Smith, inuneasurably in bringing the Moon Over The Mountain. Fresh from the hands of the publishers comes Charlie Brennan's latst novel W'hy Give Up based on his experiences on his first sea voyage. Bill Fleming is a prominent member of the court-bench . Pearl Moeller is the present furore of the selling world. She succeeded in selling the Prince of VVales a non-skid saddle. Betty O'Brien and Helen VVebb are new members of the Mahatma Crhandi per- sonal retinne. Betty has a new way of wearing her tent robe to the chagrin of Mahatma. Walt Haesche and Charlie Dreisen are well able to be associates in the trea- sury department as they learned to raise the Qbjucks on the hockey team. Since Billy , Rennicke stopped so many hard drives at the Arena, he was com- missioned as a general in Uncle Sam's Army. You will remember that Gene Coyle and Eddie Urbanski were always experi- menting in Chemistry. They are now trying to lind the combination of Davev Jones' locker. ' George Hawley, who received his P. H. O. in Bullology, is the focus point of the lntelligentsia because of his recent fcheckj book Owd to a Bird . Third rate passage will satisfy me on your cruise. Have Bob -lohnsoq, Bill Lee, and Paul Kebabian somewhere near me. and all of us near the life boats. 55,- More interesting news follows. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity of renew- ing old acquaintances. The receipt of your check covering your subscription fee for the last three issues of VVho's VVho would be greatly appreciated.
