CLASS POEM THINGS REMEMBERED Itis the little things, The little things best remembered . . . The way the sky looks a hard, bright blue on a frisky morning And the flag etched sharp and clear against it, The field melting into heaven until The bold red stripes are a separate entity in themselves. And that first amazed flop on the ice at the gate And I-Iasn,t this walk been cleaned off yet?', And the snaky lines of the fire drill . . . The way you can,t get upstairs after lunch And the pained surprise when a test is sprung And the perpetual squawks about one thing or another. The awful humiliation of being caught with your homework not done The first time this term QIt,s always the first timej. The shiver of joy when there's no eighth period Or second . . . or third . . . as the case may be. The throb of excitement at a football game With the color and enthusiasm of the band and the Mr. Tompkins's light spring up to the platform And the thunder and lightning of honest applause cheerleaders And the days you find out your teachers are human. For all these things-but mostly because youire you The big, alive, colorful you- Eastside, I'll remember.

CLASS WILL We, being hep to the jive, solid and all reet of physique, do in the presence of yehudi, Bad Humor Man and John Silver, leave to certain katz as well as ickes the following stuff : Part the beginning - devoted to our patient teachers, God bless them. A band whose members always show up and never play a sour note is our gift to Mr. Dutcher, all of him. Miss Banghart is rewarded with a mute sec- tion and sound proof walls. Three new, unused, streamlined typewriters are willed to Mr. Crooks. Something new has been added for Miss Grimshaw, a fourth floor - a new library. We leave to Miss Koch a class perfect in Latin sight translations. A healthy student body and faculty is willed to Miss Soutar. Part the second - to the classes that follow in our fading footsteps. Suzanne Polowe leaves her capacity to keep a class in good cheer and laughter to Clare Van Dyk. Happy-go-lucky Mary Cuccinello leaves to Tom Pascreta his talent. To Joyce Stemer goes Faye Krauthamer's ability to select Schiapar- elli styles. Heinz Suhl bequeathes his power of making a co-ed,s heart flutter to handsome Dick Hill. Peppy Marion De Crosta and Jack Mial add their vitality to the rest of the squad. When you see red, it's only Helen Cornett's blushing prowess being transferred to Lou Hoitsma. Versatile Vicky Smith be- queathes her athletic skills to Helen Seymour. After adding his initials to those gone before him, Al Kachadurian hands the well worn gavel over to the new president, George Lessuck. Marvin Tuckman and Murray Freed smile slyly as they leave to the new Senior Mirror staff exactly one bottle of 1,000 aspirin tablets, one bottle of morphine and ten packs of reefers, to help rid them of their worries. Part the end - to those who have sighed with relief when they thought they had slipped through the noose. The vivacity of Doris Leffertz is left to anyone with the energy and will power to fill her shoes. To any two courageous enough to try to equal them, Mary Calabrese and Irving Nurik leave their Quiz Kid knowledge. Bernard Unger- leider, Herman Auerbach and Charles Kaplan leave their place in the band to any student virtuoso capable of keeping up the pace they set. To any quick thinker and slow mover, we donate l'Hundred and One Tried Excuses for Being Late to Class, by Bernard Greenbaum. Any science enthusiast with the capacity to absorb thoughts quickly is willed, in addition to his own, Harold Neufeld's faculty. To the seniors we leave the happy thoughts of graduation in June. Juniors receive thoughts of class elections in the near future and a little swelled head from being upper classmen. We leave the sophomores a book on salesmanship - or how to sell an elevator ticket to the frosh. To the freshmen, being self- made men, we leave but the idea of four years full of fun and studies. To the faculty in general and especially to Mr. Tompkins, our deepest gratitude and fond regard. a
