CLASS HISTORY S freshmen, we were rather distant from reality, listening with a naive air to the tales of gold which issued from the mouths of our superiors. We finally hit the right path after a bit of trial and error, and started to function efficiently under the astute guidance of our class adviser, Miss Brown. The class officers were drafted, and when the results were tabulated, we found Henry Bodner, President; Kay Sobrusky, Vice-President; Virginia Ryan, Secretary; and Asher Curtis, Treasurer. Lunch hour dances were arranged to further sociability, and contributed to the integration of the class. At mid-term we lost a few of our friends, but the excite- ment of the new term made their loss seem rather tempered. The Freshman Prom was given in honor of the seniors in May, and Chairman Phil Olgin and his committee were responsible for the unique decorations and the enjoyable time. Our greatest project was publishing a Handbook for the incoming first year classes, and although it resulted in a slight financial loss, the service it has rendered to incoming classes since our green days has compensated us to a large degree. June arrived with the exhibition, and although we had relatively minor parts, we did our bit toward its successful completion. We bade adieu to the seniors the next day and retired for a well-earned vacation. Returning in September of our Junior year, we found that some of our classmates would never reappear, and we entered into our park work with a vigor and zest that surprised our instructors. Election of officers was held and Joseph Stewart was chosen President; Ruth Tomasko, Vice-President; Virginia Ryan, Secretary; and Asher Curtis, Treasurer. Fred Claxton replaced Stewart as President, when the latter resigned from school. When park season had passed into oblivion, our task of initiating the freshmen consumed most of our spare moments. Our efforts resulted in the first college style initiation ever indulged in at our school. Parades through the city, stump speeches, paddles, and other paraphernalia were resorted to in order to make the affair unfor- gettable. Not a male freshman student appeared and the next day we all turned bar- bers, to give our friends haircuts with an energy that literally swept them across the locker room floor . When the rumpus was over, we ran a Hallowe ' en Dance, and good will was restored. Settling into our regular routine, exams were upon us once again, after which we relaxed by attending the fraternity affair in old clothes. In the spring of our Junior year, we gave several exhibitions in Folk Dancing, and competed in a contest in New York. The baseball season passed rapidly and the exhibition of our year ' s work in June finished our activities, and we again said good-bye to our out- going senior colleagues. Our Senior year was the most glorious and productive of all. It took us two years to realize that conscientious academic work was truly desirable, but we surely produced results in our last year. Our class officers were Herman Kaufman, President; Ruth Tomasko, Vice-President; Lillian Rubin, Secretary; and Asher Curtis, Treasurer. Pat Vaccaro replaced Curtis as Treasurer at the mid-term. We offered staunch sup- porters to every branch of athletics and enthusiastic leaders to carry on the various extra-curricular and club activities current in school. Practice teaching was our crown- ing glory, and we set enviable standards for other classes to follow, in all fields.
