David Banks, Efficiency Expert, is reprimanding Winnie Bates, the sob sister, for overunning her budget. For the homeraaking page, Florence Lawson is writing three tempting salad recipes, while Orlanda Marchi and Julia Kurtz, cooperatively perform social services. It is Ruth Goodale's enormous duty to collect the day's items for publication and put them in order. The fumes encircle and fade; slowly our hazy minds return to the present. Our curiosity is completely satisfied, so we depart with many thanks to the scientist.

CLASS PROPHECY, 1938 Time: 10 years hence Scene: As follows - As we are walking down the street of a modern town, this sign confronts our eyes, Clayton Olsen, Scientist and Specialist in Foretelling the Future. We enter a dingy underground suite of rooms remodeled scientifically, we suppose, under Mr. Olsen s able supervision. Mr. Olsen: Good afternoon, ladies; have you a particular problem with which you need assistance? We: Ten years have passed since we have seen our classmates. Is there aiy possible way of telling where they are now and how they are progressing? Mr. Olsen: I have Just compounded some colorful solutions which will enable you to per- ceive the locations of the present positions of your pals. After setting up several colorful, oily liquids, he proceeds. From the vermillion solution comes the picture of a beauty salon where Gert Stanton is attending Mrs. Merrill Stevens, the millionaire heiress. Mrs. Stevens: Hurry up—I have an appointment across the hall with that famed physio- therapist, Miss Isabel E. Berry. Through the entrance of the salon comes Adeline Hollis. I have just a few hours off from the office; I d like to have a facial and manicure in a hurry. You know, I Just passed Mike Sartinsky driving Dora Mathewson and her dancing pupils down to the theater in a yellow cab. The white solution reveals a county hospital at which Edward Tyburski, an interne, is assisting a doctor who is performing a tonsil operation on John Twardy. Later Barbara Barbour, R. N., is seen reviving him from the anesthetic or perhaps the diet which dietitians, Marjorie Pape and Natalie Russell, have prepared for the patient. A purple compound brings forth the town s most progressive theater, designed and constructed under the supervision of Conrad Charbonneau. As Ralph Turner struts leisurely into the theater, he presents a pass, (the donor, Dora Mathewson) to Paul Agogliati. Paul: Dodo and her girls are on at 9:40 tonight. Ralph: Hey—can you get me a seat in the front row? Paul: I can t—but walk straight ahead and ask Bennie Levinski to get you a front seat. Ralph: Thanks. Take these flowers backstage, will you? After Dora s sensational act, the newsreel presents Sport Spots. Here we see Louis Chalko dribbling up the floor for one of his renowned shots. The next scene reveals Teddy Lenczyk s superb form as he makes a hole In one on the links at Bermuda’s first-class golf course. In the political world. Republican President Leda Bernice Square-Deal V.egmann, first woman President of the United States, is seen presenting a speech entitled Let the Children Decide for Themselves. May we add that she received thundering applause. Out of a blue maze we see slowly emerging, the twinkling neon Newington Swing Club. Here Christy Finegan’s orchestra swings Into Loch Lomond with Bob Holden bringing it to a grand finale with his inimitable washboard solo. Alyce Johnson, dressed In shimmering silver lame, goes into her weekly song and accomplished dance specialty act, accompaniod by the celebrated twin pianists, Madamoiselles Ignis Chadwick and Stella D’Eddy. At a table for two wo find Misses Vivian Anderson and Harriet Holt, school marms, sipping soup and stoically swallowing swing. An oily, black liquid slowly brings to form an airport where Robert SJolander and Chester Rowley, joint aeronautic engineers are instructing Joseph Condron and Charles Wilber, their assistants in planning a new air route from Pensacola to the Orient. A newspaper office is produced from a pink compound. Lois Webster, editor of the Society Page, is seen speedily typing comments on Ethel Ford’s dinner party. Sherley Terwilliger breezes in from an assignment. She presents a story on Jennie Bloch, winner of the $5000 Cake-Making Contest. In the Ladies’ Sport Section, we see Julia Cwikla, editor, typing her personal Interview with Paul Push-’em -up Jervis, outstanding shortstop for the Yankees.

CLASS HISTORY The class of 38 is the first class to graduate from the Newington Senior High School We are very proud of this fact, and hope that we have set a good standard for the other grades to follow. It has been the aim of the class not only to receive a good education, but also to be of some use to the school as well. In 1934-35, members of our class took an active part in the building of a nine-hole golf course. A golf club was established, and its members played other schools In competition for the Championship. Newington has had the honor of receiving this award for four years in succession. During the same year, the Student Council was organized. The Council has done much to raise the morale of the student body in the school. We feel that this organization should be mentioned in connection with our class because Christopher Finegan, a member of the Senior Class, has been president of the Student Council since its organization. In September of each year, when school reopens, the Council holds an Induction ceremony. At that time, the newly elected members take vows for their future service in the Council. In the year of 1935-36, the class organized the first Dramatic Club in the Newington Senior High School. Because of Its financial success, the club was able, with the assistance of the School Board, to present a six-piece set of furniture to the school for use in the teachers' room and in Dramatic Club productions. The Music Group was organized in 1935-36 as the result of a suggestions made by Charles Wilber, a senior class member. The faculty adviser fpr this group was a former teacher. Miss Stratemeyer. A musical was given by the group, and they used some of their profits toward a week-end trip to New York. The Athletic Association was organized in 1936-37. This group ha3 sponsored different projects to raise money to assist the school in the purchase of athletic equipment. Several athletic groups have been formed within our own class. This year we have had a girls1 basketball team; basketball, golf, baseball, and bowling teams for the boys. At the end of the tenth grade, we found that Instead of attending New Britain High School as the preceding classes had done, we were to remain hero in Newington to complete our high- school education. At that time we were very much disappointed. Now at the end of our stay here, it Is with a feeling of regret that we leave the Newington High School, for we feel we have gained as much and perhaps more than we would have if we had attended a larger Institution.
