 Pmn True blue as the sky, pure as a cloud, Our colors express our aims out loud. Sorority sisters one and all, Full memories of pleasure recall. Our first activity: initiation. Was one of much consternation; The going was rough we do report. But all nine proved their willing sport. We held our banquet at Williams Lake, Each sister her best beau did take, A wonderful time was had by all. This memory we’ll most of all recall. When autumn leaves began to glide, Our thoughts turned to a gay hay ride, Three cheers for our cake and cookie sale! No ill effects did this entail. Our minds became more serious, Christmas time drew near. Collecting food for those who needed A bit of Christmas Cheer. As this year is ebbing, We see that happiness. Is found in simple friendship, And just togetherness OFFICERS Marie Ruiz President Rufcnc Smith Vice-President Peggy Rhinehart Secretary Florence Ellison Treasurer O.M.N.

pant) The New Paltz Central High School Band, under the direction of Mrs. Arras, started out early this past fall with many enthusiasts. After a few rehearsals a definite number of members were found that could be counted on for their cooperation and maintenance of a good school band. The band was the largest it has ever been with many new members from the Freshman class. We added a new activity this year, that of playing for the basketball games. Players and rooters enjoyed the marches, and other tunes that put all in a fighting spirit for the game.

Our opening shot took the form of initiation; sorority hats and pins for the new members came next on the agenda. ’Mid the swish of gowns and clouds of corsagi we bustled off to our annual sorority banquet held this year at the Penquin”. Having hardly recovered, we dc cided to forego our usual O. M. N.-Thespian Christmas Party in favor of a Christmas Basket for some needy family in this locality. Suddenly we find two engagees” among us. So rising to the occasion we threw a big double shower. The next hop took the Senior Thespians to New York and a memorable performance of Joan of Lorraine”. A bigger and better Checkerboard Cafe” was forthcoming in March. It even had an original theme song. As a parting shot we gave a play for assembly. Final thanks to Miss Bantham, our faculty advisor, for helping us. Page twenty-nine
