A 1 1 e -ef .L , for one dime. Cardinal and Scribe affracfed a crowd by selling rhymed forfunes fied fo very arfy peanuf souvenirs. To fhe beaufy and gayefy of fhe Chrisfmas season, Dolores Makemnos added her sparkling perform- ances in fwo of fhe finesf plays fhaf our school has ever had. Across our horizon came many celebrifies: Canada Lee, Margaref Websfer, Bess Myerson who was Miss America, Andy Russell who ap- peared af our Youfh Rally, fhe many disfinguished foreign speakers who honored us af our famous U. N. Assembly, fhe impassioned orafors who campaigned for fheir candidafes af fhe Roosevelf-Dewey debafe. In fourfh ferm, our war work reached ifs climax wifh fhe purchase of four ieeps and fhree field ambulances fhrough fhe sale of war bonds. We celebrafed wifh a jeep parfy. Af lasf we were seniors wifh a bursfing memory book of four years' good fimes. Today as we look back, we remember horseplay af fhe end of fhe pool, fhe brave girls in Drama 9I0, plans for forums, club parfies, all kinds of frolics. A cerfain amounf of sfudy, foo? Yes, fhere was Velia Coscarelli's mafhemafical genius, and Alice Yerchin's anfics in bio. We gasp as we fhink of fhe sfupendous campaign of our G. O. Presidenf, Margaref Turner, and fhe efernal haphazardness of fhe Publicafions Office. Mrs. Buckley's efernal pafience and calm will be a course of never- ending wonder always. There are all fhe prefecfs and subiecf feachers who have done so much for us. There's nof one of us who doesn'f find as she looks back, fhaf Miss Ficks was always fhere wifh her undersfanding ancl loving guidance, and wifh fhaf exfra liffle liff fhaf did so much fo make Prospecf Heighfs whaf if has become fo us. We'll fake wifh us all fhese experiences and recollecfions fhaf made high school such an advenfure. As we leave, we'll wave fo fhose whom we leave wifhin ifs walls, and say, So long, Cifizens of Prospecf Heighfs, you lucky people. W
