The beginning of the second half finds the Class of '39 fewer in num- ber-the weaker having fallen. Now we are wiser and more experienced. To our surprise, School Books come back with many new plays and finding our goal line in danger we retire to the sidelines to select our officers and hold a cake sale. Michael Fitzpatrick is once again chosen captain and this time Helen Davis fills the position of co-captain, C-erry Speno is secretary and Frank Buckhout is in charge of our financial affairs. Properly strengthened by our little repast, we renew our game with great vigor and make a won- derful drive down the field and begin to threaten the goal of School Books causing them to call for time. During the interval we discuss plans for a hand book, and by the time play is called our material is in the hands of the printer. We just begin playing when History is hurt and has to be carried off the field. While School Books are choosing a player to fill his position, the Class of '39 holds its Junior Prom. Having chosen Geometry to fill History's place, School Books come back to the field. ln the remaining few minutes of play we come within l5 yards of a touchdown, but the whistle blows. Perhaps in the last quarter .... The fourth and final quarter opens with our faithful leader, Michael Fitzpatrick, still the captain, with Morris Amato as co-captain, Felisa Este- ban as treasurer and Mary Smercak as secretary. Books seem superior this quarter so we take time out to decide on a new line of attack and also to welcome the Freshmen into NT. We decide study is the best attack and upon trying it discover that we are right. The game turns into such a close battle that the referee gives us a few minutes rest and we dance until our time is up. Then we see that time is getting short so by studying harder we manage to carry the ball to the ten-yard line and by a tremendous burst of power go over for a touchdown. The whistle blows, the game is ended, and we have won. We celebrate our victory with a Ball on Class Night and then as a reward-graduation. The game is over but we won't forget-we can't. We will always re- member those four years in which we fought so hard yet enioyed so much. And though memories may dim and fade one will remain-the game-The Class of '39 vs. School Books.

Ama of C39 ua. Cguoofgoki TIME: l935-l939 SCENE: N,T.H.S. The whistle blows and the game begins. Michael Fitzpatrick, the cap- tain, kicks off and English receives. Science and Civics come to his defense, but our captain, with his assistants, Gerry Speno co-captain, Morris Amato treasurer and Reginald Cardwell as secretary and the great backfield of the Freshman Class, succeeds in throwing him for a ten-yard loss, Algebra calls for time out and the Seniors take this opportunity to give the Frosh a Fresh- man Bawlf' The game is then resumed and School Books come back with a strong team and regain the ball. They threaten our goal so it is time out for the Class of '39 During this brief rest period the team decides to hold a Freshman Dance. It is very successful and with boosted spirits we return to the field and hold our own until the end of the first quarter. As a result of the rest period between the quarters, the Class of '39 comes back with a new lineup still captained by Michael Fitzpatrick, but now with Margaret Jacquin as co-captain, Betty Barr, secretary, and Morris Amato as treasurer. The now Sophisticated Sophomoresu are in danger of losing the ball only once and then take time out to hold a dance. This strengthens them greatly and they keep School Books from further advances and the half ends with the score O-O.
