..1..- ' - .......... I fllllrmnrira 1923 An Auhihlr illllnuir As l entered the class room for my last class in college, l was handed a program. This wasn't of much inter- est to me until I saw in especially big type New Haven . This naturally at- tracted my attention and I read, Aud- ible Movie To-Nite at the Xlfhite Star Theatre-Review of New Haven Sen- ior Class of '23-8:oo O'clock Sharp . Nothing was on my mind that entire day except that movie. By six, I was anxiously waiting, with about two college students. for opened. Since each Senior class realized thousand other the doors to be member of the that this was the last day of his school life and that his education would not be complete without hearing an aud- ible movie, it naturally drew a large crowd. XX'hen the doors of the theatre were iipenecl. there was a grand rush for seats. In about ten minutes the doors were closed and the show began. The first picture represented the tirst day of school. Not only did it show the dignified expression on the Sen- iors' faces. but it showed the juvenile expression of the Freshies. lcoulcl not only see the pupils but l could hear them talk as plainly as if it had been the year 1923. There were two assemblies, Assem- bly l and Assembly II. No one could find his books, tablet. pencil. pen or ink. l then saw Raymond Greiser tak- ing long. hurried strides thru the lab- oratory. He turned to Noel Smith and said, Anyone seen my Indian ink? Noel Smith gave a reply as he swayed back and forth, Haw, haw, haw. you can tell the Freshiesf' l then saw a white, slick-haired dog running thru the laboratory unnoticed by the pupils: evidently very much at home. Fastened to a collar around his neck was a card on which was written Sept 5 . I happened to re- member that jean Morris' dog used to attend school quite regularly. NX'ith each picture jeans dog was represent- ed with a date on his neck. The public speaking class was organized on Sept- ember seventh. lt did not meen until the following day. l saw DeYon Phil- lips stand on one foot and gaze at the ceiling as he gave a three minute talk. Then I heard Carrie lloeglein give an oration. She started to make a gest- ure. but happening to think it was the wrong place. she scratched her head instead. l then heard Leola Handel- ier give a current event. She contin- ually inispronounced the word ob- viously, but Bliss Tonkel told her to go ahead with her report and if she would come up some night after school she would help her to pronounce it correctly. When Leola had finished l heard Miss Tonkel say. Folks, you must not have a rising intlection in your voice when you get up to give a Pure Nineuf-thus

I could see that the team had the support of the school as we-ll as the parents. Soon I heard the shouting and rooting from the grand- stand. under the direction of Zelda Riehhart. the cheerleader. It certain- ly was exciting to see Pete Putman make a home nun, and see the school anxiously watching the next play.

In the next picture I saw corn- stalks. pumpkins and old rose and white crepe paper draped about the rooni of the town hall.
