being starred in that million dollar production Moon Over the Campus, with himself (Don) as her leading man. Cliff Bender, as their business man- ager, is doing wonders with their money and by this time, has accumulated quite a tidy little sum for himself. George Esposito and Reno Ringi have be- come typed as the modern gangsters, using foils instead of the customary shot-guns. George Aumack was recognizeci by the mayor, and the report for New York was given. George, himself, is chief taster for the large, new Coca Cola Plant, and brought with him several cases of free samples. The city is raving about its biggest box-office attraction Li ' l Abner ' s Pappy, with Ed Meisse in the title role and Ed Beckman as Li ' l Abner. Gene Lieberman is winning fame as a photographer for the Marion Allison Dance Company, the largest in New York. Eups Arminio ' s latest surrealist painting is on exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum. Honey Nairn and Beaman the Demon are doing well with the Inter-State Airlines. Helen makes first jumps in all new parachutes and Fred is number one test pilot. Muriel Corcoran replaced Lippy Durocher as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Marcie Koster organized a newspaper; appointed herself Advice to the Lovelorn Editor, and employed Bob Galinkin to draw the cartoons. Al Sabo is covering the field of sports for the Koster Gazette. Charlie Scanlan has a monopoly on the undertaking business in New York. It ' s a good job, says Charlie, the only one in which the customers don ' t talk back. When the rodeo was in town, Don Daly and Ralph D ' Andrea refereed the bull fights, and Jack Richards earned a round of ap- plause each time he succeeded in throwing the bull. He was proceeded by Toreador Minowitz who was not quite as successful. Abbey West was chosen to speak for the educators. He is now wowing his first aid classes with a very special tap dancing routine. Scotty has won fame by her Erlandsen Revision of the Stanford Revision of the Binet Scale. She based her conclusions upon the reactions of five of her colleagues whom she formerly suspected. Harry Sandlaufer is nearing completion of his doctor ' s thesis on Air Currents and the Jewish Problem. Bobby Sullivan, one type of educator, is devoting the rest of her life to the raising of two beautiful sets of twins. I told you so! said Bobby. Swede Masin, however, was proclaimed Queen of May. He is the only one of us who has stayed within his own field. He is now teaching physical education and hygiene, and incidentally, is earn- ing a larger salary than anyone else in the class. Ihe reports were completed and an agreement made to meet in the same spot ten years hence. Bill Rooney carried the still sleeping Joe Boll to his airplane, and we all started off in different directions, toward the same t oal, success. JEAN BURGESS, Class Prophet. Page Twenty-five

' fife ' Wc Albmer West Abbey De Witt Clinton High School, New York City 651 Lincoln Ave., Orange, N. J. Ever ' !) nian who is high up loves to think that he has done it all himself; and the wife smiles, and lets it go at that. Student Council 4; Olympia Class President 4; Staff, Business. Abbey has only been with us a short time. His de- meanor marked him as a gentleman of quality. Since worth cannot remain unrecognized for any length of time, he promptly became class president. His friendly personality established him as a popular leader. May 16, 1952. The usual let ' s go was enough to tear Kay Cairns away from the U Drive It and We ' ll Wreck It Company, of which she is commander-in-chief, and to start us toward that spot in the CatskiUs designated as a meeting place, by the Class of 1942 on that fateful graduation day. As we approached our destination, we were greeted by an ominous roll of thunder. The Panzer boys, with their usual promptness, had arrived some time before, and exliibiting much ingenuity had devised a game of ten-pins, which was responsible for the thunderous reports. As we drew nearer, we saw Joe Boll, now Co-King of the Naval Air Corps, slumbering on in true Van Winkle fashion; and Bill Rooney, also Co-King, trying vainly to revive him. Our arrival completed the group, so Tommy Brennan, Mayor of Jersey City, took charge; while Harriet Kane, his campaign manager, nodded her approval. The Honorable Thomas Brennan called for sectional reports. Donald Simpson told us that our friends in Hollywood were doing well. Fran Trebour, who got her star t as a stand-in for Carmen Miranda, is now Page Twenty-four

CLASS WILL We, of the Class of 1942, being of sound body and mind, do hereby pub- hsh and declare this our last will and testament. FIRST: To our esteemed faculty we bequeath a long lost, well earned peace of mind. SECOND: To the Junior Class we leave the honor of following in our footsteps and the privilege of occupying our old seats in Room 6. THIRD: To the Studious Sophomores we bequeath carbon copies of all our old term papers, Dr. Kilander having kept the originals. FOURTH: To the care of the Freshmen we leave the locker rooms and the privilege of showing all notable guests of the future, the place where the Class of 1942 used to hang their hats. We also make the following bequests with our sincere hopes that they will be accepted in the spirit with which they are given: To Miss Wardell we leave our thanks and our slightly used textbooks to fill the gaps in the library shelves. To Miss Burnham we leave a copy of Elbert Hubbard ' s Scrapbook. We of the Senior Class are for bigger and better quotations. To Mr. Johnson we leave all our questionable relatives to add to his collection. To Miss Brown we leave the underclassmen, hoping that in them she will find such desirable qualities that her sorrow in losing us may not be too great. Kay Cairns and Swede Masin leave their basketball ability to Bert Mellen and Donald Wadams. Helen Nairn and Frances Trebour leave two well worn pairs of tap shoes to any budding Pavlovas of the Freshman Class. Harriet Kane leaves the bubbling enthusiasm of her public speeches to Helen Moore. Marion Allison leaves those cherished ballet slippers to Frances O ' Rourke, if she finds that at the last minute she can part with them. Joe Boll leaves his crown to those who wish to rule supreme. And lastly, we leave Panzer College, but not the memories we have gathered or the friends we have made here. These will live on forever. The foregoing is the legal will and testament of the Class of 1942. In ' witness whereof, we hereby subscribe our name and seal, on this sixteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Two. JEAN BURGESS, Executrix of the Will.
