CLASS PROPHECY . . . January 119416 . . . Most people believe that the outcome of life is based on the stones of fateg but the Seniors of Passaic High School have a slightly different con- ception of the idea. As we pick up the january 28 issue of the Passaic Daily Yatata-Yatata published by Ruth Maltenfort, we are greeted by several articles which touch our hearts deeply. From the headlines we learn that our Alma Mater has been completely destroyed by fire and it is definitely suspected that Billy Newman, so used to dropping chemical equip- ment in his days as a student, forgot himself and dropped a test-tube full of atomic energy. Miss Klug has put it on his breakage bill. Mayor Pinhead Moriarty refuses to comment on the catastrophe un- til his blonde secretary gets off his lap, Turning to another column we find that foreign correspondent Henry Flaw Erikson is trying to find out why the price of beets has gone up in Yugoslavia. Owen Adler was arrested for selling bananas on Market Street without a license but judge Frank Bongiorno suspended sentence when he saw how Owen had shrunk to a mere two tons. On the amusement page we find many interesting advertisements. At the annex to the Playhouse Theater we find Sam Our Boy Merilson and Ethel just are currently being starred as the screen's worst lovers. Annabel Einhorn has replaced Gertrude Neisen in the cast of Follow the Girls. George Gayclos and Richard Honigsbaum are still taking co-operative chemistry tests. Donald Goldstein and Leon Handsome Stein have found Page 36 out that the way to a girl's heart is on four wheels. David Romeo Hanis and Dotty Howard are mak- ing their debut at Gallai's The Home of Fine Burlesque. Sturgeon Karpen has published a new book, How Girls Can Get A Head in Life g of course he knows. Latest comment on Lillian Debreceny . . . HUBBA . . , HUBBA . . . HUBBA, . . . Herman Packer and Harold Leib have opened a canary shopg at least they have the beak for it. Ruetta Furst is still giving command performances as the Farmer's Wife in the story of The Three Blind Mice. Jean Minervini has gotten her Tommy Manville medal with oak leaf cluster, she's starting on her fifteenth. Shorty Holstein is appearing at the Montauk in The Heavenly Body g associate feature is Higher and Higher, starring Buck Sie- gel's prices. Herbert Stein has taken Brother Edson Electromotive Force Clark's place as physics teach- er in Passaic High School. It seems the Board of Education decided that it would be cheaper to have Herby teach physics than to have him fail for the 33rd time. 'ljaponeen man, Mitchell Laiks, is com- pleting his tenth year at Hoischecado Institute for the Development of a Stronger Beer. joe Peligal and Leonard Bindelglass have written a book, Life Can Be Beautiful Without Gym, with thanks to the nurse for her help. Bob Rosenblatt is playing his tenth season of Varsity football at William and Mary. He is taking six periods of gym a day. Passaic High School is currently turning out a new crop of geniuses but none to compete with the class of February '-46.

LAST WILL and TLSTAMLNT We, the first graduating class of this year, 1946, being of sound mind Qdespite the opinions of the facultyj do declare this to be our last will and final testament: To the grandchildren of the present student body and therefore to the present faculty we leave a brand new, shiny school. But for the faculty there is one conditional clause-that the school be built on a higher hillg that seems to be the closest they'll ever get to a raise. In the new high school we leave a large cafeteria with Mrs. Stubba as head cook and Buck Siegel as head dishwasher. For Mr. Brady and his janitorial staff in the new school we leave an immense oil burner. To the many titles which Mr. Kennedy holds and with which we know you are all familiar we add another- The Voice. For Miss Eaton we wish a 25 hour day so she can really accomplish something. We sign up Miss Cunningham and Mr. Ander- son as outfielders for the N. Y. Yankees. They're always running to catch something. , We bequeath Mrs. Mac, who comes from down in Maine, a large sack of the best in the land- Idaho potatoes. We have for Miss Race a floor-to-ceiling portrait of Thomas jefferson, founder of the Democratic party. We leave Miss Kranz a six-day bike race track where she can really speed up class work. We leave Miss fyou can't do math work in herej Schooley a copy of Forever Amber marked Stu- dents Only. For Miss Schutt-a snowstorm in the middle of june-that'll teach her. We leave Miss Messinger an eggbeater to break up the crowds on the third Hoor. We have a radar set on a high stool for Mr. Woods to operate to discover the whereabouts of students who cut classes. We leave to Miss Estey a class that doesn't know the meaning of a crib sheet. For Miss Bates we have a measuring spoon for dividing Gaul into three parts and mizfing Caesar with fudge. We'd like to inform all incoming sophomores of the position of Doctor Dales-we know of a little sophomore who asked her homeroom teacher for a slip to see Doc because she wasn't feeling so well. And for Miss Partridge and him we have separate soundproof shelters. Last but not least we leave the nurse a valuable assistant-a handwriting expert. Page 37
