Last Will ul the Januarg '47 Class I strolled along the darkened halls of Passaic High School, the haunting strains of a sousaphone hitting me in the face.

Januarg Class Prophecg to look into the future. As we gaze into the crystal ball, we find that Termites' Paradise lthe Annex to other peoplel has been devoured, and in its stead stands a magnificent 1 new school. A KJ' ,144 Qc: g if S graduates of Passaic High School, we rely on a crystal ball Q A W ' ' W' A fS Continuing our tour of the new building, we come to the guidance office. Ah, yes, there are Marvin Alperin and Ro- berta Schoem, guidance counselors, whispering sweet nothings through the partition. Around the corner we come to the room where safety is taught, and we find Miss Mae Baldanza direct- ing her class. We glance out of the window and we see all the girls swooning with joy. The cause? lt's only the new history professor, Mr. Kenneth Van Hine. ln the library we see a new set of books on the art of argumentation written by Morris Garber. Wearied from our tour we go to the lounge. We spot on a table a newspaper with a picture of Helene Mosberg, who is X , , We see ourselves entering the stately portals and wander- ing along the marbled corridors. Shhl lt is the sound of music. We follow the sound and come to the door marked Music Room . We peek in and find the maestro, lvan Uze, conduct- ing the Junior Symphony Orchestra, We look into the room and find that Rita Mandell is Mr. Biondo's assistant coach of the Pacific Grass Skirt Chorus. Then we saunter along and admire the magnificent structure. We see Lenore Kantor directing a group of eager Thespians in a play called To Do or Not to Do Homework . And in the spacious, mirrored, and carpeted office, we see Shirley Fisher and Mae Braer, the school truant officers. QB currently starring in a Broadway play. On another page there is an advertisement of a very large and beautiful dance school directed by Norman Goldstein. On the homemaking page we find a column entitled Your Children and What To Do With Them , written by Anita Heyman, eminent child psychologist. On the next page is a picture of the county jail which has been remodeled and furnished by New Jersey's foremost interior decorator, Elodie Miller. As the dismissal bell rings, we step out into the corridor again and while we walk along, we hear the latest bits of gos- sip. George Bickoff is reported to be peddling balloons con- cealing answers to the Observer tests. So ends our delightful trip through the new high school of the future. -lll
