SOPHOMORE CLASS President ................ Gwendolyn Olcott Secretary .... Florence Shaw Treasurer .................. Eleanor Wesel At the end of the second year of our triumphal march through High School, we pause to look back, over our laurel- strewn path, and we breathe a sigh of relief. Half our journey is over, and half of our victories are won. We fully believe that we are the smartest, most talented, most gifted class in the whole school. Our class oflicers are capable of holding down any office, anywhere, for after holding down our class, they have all the qualifications needed. We hold our meetings Friday afternoons, or rather, we hold them then if the class will hold still long enough to find out what's going on. If they won't we adjourn the meeting till the next time. Our super-human intelligence aided us in entertaining the rest of the school. in assembly, three times during the past year. And our class holds many of the noted actors of the High School! Four of ,our n1e1nbers, through competitive tryouts, gained admission to the new Dramatic Society-which was quite an honor. And two of them, along with two other Sophomores, took part in the Year Book play, Clarence and made names for themselves. 'They're not in electric lights on Broadway yet- but they ought to be, and some day maybe will be. The Owl, Page 28

JUNIOR CLASS President, Robert Hoppen Treasurer, Adele Wheeler Vice President, J. Jones Secretary, Frank Ciancimino The Junior class of 1923 has been very prominent in all the athletics and social activities of this year. They were Well re- presented in football, basketball, and baseball and their Promen- ade was the most successful dance of the year. Three of the class play in the orchestra and many of the girls sing in the Glee Club. On the whole, it has been the most active class in many years. The girls especially have shown a I-ine spirit in paying their dues and working for the general Welfare of the class. The Juniors are looked to by the lower classmen as the ones who are to continue the work of the Senior class when the latter is gone. The Juniors are, as it were, the high school's reputa- tion because it is they who have before them the task of holding up the name of Nyack High. Let them gain knowledge and benefit by the experiences of those of whom they are to be the successors, that they may in their Senior year discharge the duties of Seniors with fewer blunders and more efficiency. This class of 1924 should be particularly nude awake and energetic because they are facing an era in school life when the social and educational activities are making great leaps of progress, and when new ideas and inspirations are continually springing up which must- be dealt with in a level-headed and scientific man- ner.

FRESHMAN BOYS ' s President, Jolm Wolf Treasurer, John Anderson Vice President, John Mitchell Secretary, John Colgan We beg to introduce to the reader the noble class of 26 , the greatest class that ever entered the realms of N. H. S. We are famous as Freshmen and will be equally qualified as Sopho- mores tif we're luckyj. This picture was taken in the South Yard and not at the Zoo. The class started the year off by sending five representa- tives to the Football Squad. We took all honors in the Class Basketball Tournament. The class is led by the great sports- man and noble gentleman, John Wolf. fNote: No, the president didn't write thatj . It is unusual for a Freshman class to enter into varsity athletics the way this 1926 bunch has done and especially so for a Freshman to make a team. But some of our men have done it and are proud of the fact. Our class is a very large one and it is our wish that all of us may continue on through school together. If this could be possible we would be able to have the best Senior class that the school has ever been graced With, because after three years' cooperation with each other we could do about as We liked with the major affairs of the school. Watch yourselves, upperclass- men, lest we beat you in your own game. The Owl, Page 29
