As all studen know her help is always available, even when you don't want it! .lf In the commerce end of things is Margaret M. Bergen, the Shorty of the faculty. If you want to get through a crowd-follow her. She might be small, but she can sure get places. The fourth grade is ruled by Eleanor A. Chase. Besides teaching she has also done a great deal for our cheerleaders by giving them the needed points to make us proud of them. Our Colgate personage is none other than Clifford C. Clinton, the coach and English teacher. As everyone knows the fame of the R.H.S. teams has stretched far and wide since he took over. Grade six is the responsibility of Elizabeth A. Cole, known as Buffy . The junior Chorus is also her rule-remember their number, The Story of Christmasu? john Deisseroth, the principal and Big Boss of R.H.S., falls under A, for he does an excellent job with the ruling of the school. This year on the upstairs floor Edna M. Dennis is head of the seventh grade. She's not only a friend of the seventh grade, but of the whole school. Grade one and part of grade two is the worry of Jane Elston. We all have to start some- where and if we were the little beginners, we wouldn't mind having such a charming person for teacher, would we? With a B.S. degree, Elena M. Gliottone, a favorite of many, also comes in when we say 'fthe commerce department. She smiles often and has a wonderful personality. Have you had your eyes examined? Have you had your tonsils out, and what about your ears? All this congestion is caused by Nurse Pearl Hess. But what would we do without her? So let's all Remember Pearl Hess ! The social studies and physical education departments lets William E. Hopke in. For his most prominent characteristic shall we say-a blush?

In writing this history, I have tried to mention the most important ones. When we were pea-green freshmen, there were forty-nine of us under the guidance of Mr. Robert Kingsbury. At our first class meeting fthe only one conducted orderly and in a business-like way, I believe, because we were still a little bashfulj we elected Barbara Phillips, president , Angie Amedio, vice president, Evelyn Hoffman, secretary, and Roberta Jobson, treasurer. So you can see the girls had the upper hand in our freshman year-but that was only for one year. The South Bethlehem Dramatics Club came to Ravena High School and gave Melvina's Court- ship , a comedy play, for the benefit of the freshman class and shared half the proceeds with us. Afterwards there was dancing which proved rather painful and embarrassing for the majority of us. Those proceeds were put away carefully for our senior trip, which we were already counting on Much to our sorrow, Mr. Kingsbury, our advisor, and Miss Skevington, the homeroom teacher for some of the freshmen, were leaving. We gave a farewell party in their honor. Everyone had a grand time-after we got started. When we returned in September, we were called gay, youngi' sophomores, which sounded much better to us than 'fpea-green freshmen. Our first great task was to select a new class advisor. We chose a new comer to the Ravena faculty, Miss Phyllis Arnold. I'm certain that not one of us is sorry as she has stuck with us through thick and thin and has helped tremendously in making our various undertakings successful and in making our class a better one. The officers chosen this year were Lou Montelone, president, Barbara Phillips, vice president, Roberta Jobson, secretary, and Matthew Parker, treasurer. The highlights of our sophomore year were the Strawberry Shindig and the Harvest Hop, which was turned into a victory celebration for our undefeated football team-minus the coach who had a very important engagement in Long Island. It seemed unbelievable that two years had passed already. But it was true. Now our title was juniors-jolly juniors. We were jolly, too. I guess Miss Arnold and Miss Gliottone could write a book on our behavior in homeroom. The ofiicial positions this year were held by Lou Montelone, president, Bob Gallagher, vice president, Angie Amedio, secretary, and Gordon Albright, treasurer. We sponsored the best Coronation Ball in the history of R. H. S.--Lavender and Lilacs-Pomp and Circumstance-queenly Barbara Phillips marching with regal Neil Hallenbeck, and attended by Angie Amedio, Roberta jobson, Bud Parker, and Lou Montelone are all fond memories of that beautiful ball. There were also cafeterias, benefit movies, candy selling, and the junior-senior picnic. When we returned from our much needed summer vacation, we were seniors, yes, our dream had come true. We were really seniors-grand old seniors-without a doubt the grandest bunch of seniors ever to enter R. H. S. We were very different from those lively, irresponsible, awkward kids who had come to R. H. S. three years ago as freshmen. We were now well-poised, dependable, and serious- minded. Our one aim was to graduate. The ofiicers selected this year were Bud Parker, president, Lou Montelone, vice president, Angie Amedio, secretarty, and Gordon Albright, treasurer. To enable us to devote more time to our studies, we adopted a new plan to finance our senior trip. Instead of sponsoring many activities which took much of our time and effort as well as our money, we decided to save money each week, putting it in our own individual bank account. The money already in the class treasury was equally divided among the seniors, helping them to reach the specified amount necessary for the trip. This plan proved very successful. The highlights of our senior year were the three one-act senior plays, which replaced the customary three-act senior play, and the senior trip to New York City. The talent displayed in the senior plays was amazing. We almost lost some of our classmates, they were so exquisite that Hollywood wanted them. I don't believe we shall ever forget the numerous parties our class has had, but I think the memory of the one held at Dorthea Stankevicus's home after the senior plays will linger longer than any other. After the senior plays we all piled into the available automobiles and went to Butch's. Then and there a collection was taken up-the result-loads of delicious food. Then on to Dot's we went where we played games, and what games!

Twenty-nine CLASS PROPHECY Five years have passed since that grand Class of '42 left Ravena High with memories of those happy school days still ringing in their ears. They had said their last good-byes to a school they loved so well and to those glorious years they spent together! There were many struggles and hardships, but they attained the goal they worked for. What has become of this class? Yesterday, I decided to visit some of my classmates and this is what I found: The day was warm and inviting, everything looked so fresh and happy. I glanced once more at my memory book and the first place read f'Albright's and Day's Dependable Insurance Company. The taxi stopped at a huge building. I was lost for a moment, then Information came to my rescue. just as I started on, I heard some one say, Now james dear, stop telling me about the money I would get in case something should happen. You know I wouldn't think of it. Who was this charming lady? Yes, I remember nowg she was Connie Rittenhous voted the funniest and most talkative by the senior class. After my first surprise, I ventured into an office filled with chattering stenographers. The secretary who asked, May I help you? was none other than Marie Hannibal! And there in the corner, faithfully working, side by side, were Anne Nunziato, Helen Court and Faith Cooling. It was a long time since I had seen them, but they still looked like the same kids, After I had been announced, I found two business men with ruffled hair, turned-up sleeves, and cigars dangling from the corners of their mouths pouring over Hnancial statements and income tax returns. Gordon Albright looked up absent-mindedly while David Day went on dictating to his private secretary, Dorthe Bliss. After Dottie left to transcribe her notes, we talked insurance for a while, and it seemed that business was fine. The next place I went to looked quite familiar to me. As I neared the steps, I looked up and saw School in large letters. Into the office I walked and there sat Professor Lockett stressing the need for better class behavior. Professor Lockett nodded and told me to go right up. He had become accustomed to my frequent visits. On the way to my favorite room, I stopped by a door marked History. There was Arthur Russell discussing the New Deal. He always looked so stately and important even while teaching. I reached the room at last. Surrounded with adjectives, nouns, and mischevious students, stood pretty, blue-eyed Roberta Jobson. She smiled and went on, for she was used to my going there. After that delightful little visit, I decided to drop in to see the spacious gymnasium. The boys were in a huddle around Coach Lou Montelone who was giving them pointers. How Well I can remember hearing those very same words used by Montelone's coach, Cliff Clinton. The airport was listed next in my book. just as I reached the port, a passenger plane was landing. It seemed such a long time before attractively-groomed, stewardess, Elsie Zolko, stepped out with pilot Bud Parker. The mechanics who followed later were joe Veltri, Carmen Diacetis, and Frank Scalzo. They looked so big. just think, they were once my classmates! On my Way back, I stopped at the Hardware Department where I was greeted by the owner, Richard Bennett. Working as salesmen were Reuben Kilmer, Gerald Colliton and Morton Tryon, all just as happy as they used to be in school. The combination of such pleasant personalities had brought a great volume of sales. With this group of business workers were two great private sec- retaries, Dorothy Conrad and Eleanor Powell. It was splendid how well they had established them- selves in the business world. After that short visit, I stopped at the news stand for the New York Times. In large print was written Two Prominent Men Take Government Positions. Under this caption were pictures of Conrad Hyatt and Ralph Hotaling, two good students who had received recognition for their ability. A sudden urge came over me to stop at one of the largest hospitals in the city where I knew that the head stenographer was Dorothea Stankevicus. She was still the same lovable person. It was no trouble at all to get a special pass, and I went on up to visit the nurses. As I walked quietly down the immaculate corridors, I spotted a handsome doctor with two night supervisors coming from one of the patient's room. They looked so pre-occupied that they hardly glanced at me. But I recog- nized them as Dr. Bob Gallagher, Barbara Phillips, and Evelyn Hoffman. Marie Powell was in the next room, faithfully watching a patient. My time was so short and they all seemed so busy, that I decided not to stay.

I am sure all the students would say that this course is a help in present day life and also for - H for Miss Jabaut! future life. Three cheers Thirty-five CLASS WILL Since You Will Walk Wihtout Us, why don't we go down Melody Lane and over to the Little Street Where Old Friends Meet because the Class of 1942, village of Song, town of Rhythm and state of Jive, are about to publish and bequeath their last will and testament. To the G-clef, Mr. Deisseroth and the staj, members of the faculty, the Class of 1942 leave the vast amount of knowledge which has been accumulated in the four years of high school. This we give so as to lessen the burden when teaching classes of lower standard of intelligence. To a major note on the scale, Sam Zolner, we leave the executive and athletic ability of our student council president, Lou Montelone. For a trill in the scale, we leave the fluttering way of Connie Rittenhouse to jean Armbruster, who has returned from Washington without an accent but with plenty of blarney. For variation in tone we leave 'tPeanut's ability of getting himself picked on to Angelo Rosato, who already has been initiated on some past bus trips. Evelyn Hoiiman's rhythmic gum snapping we leave to Mirian Kilmer, without a book of instruc- tions. john Perrine leaves his knowledge of music to the Stardust Seranaders who, he says, need practice but who someday may duplicate his high notes. Into the march of IUe, comes the brilliance of Roberta jobson, and we leave this to Robert Ruxton, who will go all the way to parallel Roberta's enviable record. To keep up the harmony of this piece we leave Neil Hallenbeck's neat appearance and interest in aviation to Wes Muller. For a sharp note, we leave Dot Bliss' love notes to 'tCrusher who really doesn't need any pointers. It's with an eighth beat rest that we leave Charles Locket's ability to argue with the teachers on subjects oblivious to him to David Wade, who already has established himself as a professor. To joey Whipple, who is already musically established, we leave Angie Amedio's bashfulness. Ang, however, has learned to control her blush. Look at her now. Speaking of harmony, George Marcella's finesse and even disposition we leave to the teachers of R. H. S. For a black note, Gerald Colliton's nickname of Inky we leave to Shirley Fiescher. Rippling the keys a little faster now, we leave Dick Bennett's carefree manner of driving to Herby Hamlin who already has distinguished himself as a Main Street cowboy. Faith Cooling's art of writing poetry is music to anyone's ears and we leave it to Mose Pelton fthe teacher's nemesisl. Always a song in his heart, so we leave both of Arthur Russell's voices to Virginia Powell. We can't measure the innocence of David Day, but we leave it all to Norman Tinkle. We don't even leave Joy Kincaid an eighth-note rest for we bequeath her Vivian Greene's giggle- it is a penetrating one. What could be more rhythmical than Eleanor Powell's knack in square dancing-we leave it to Olga Halsted. Beauty set to music, for Ruth Klenk we openly leave Marie Hannibal's note from Bruzzy. Swinging into Congeniality, we leave Ralph Hotaling's doing other people's homework to Reid Cary who says he has never failed to get his homework in. A haunting melody is Dorothea Stankevicus and we leave her figure to Doris Wilsey. If rattling pans are music to anyonels ears, we leave Gordon Albright's efficiency in the kitchen to Tiny Yager. He can be such a help! Technique in jive and in note writing, we leave both of these to John Ormsbee from Conrad Hyatt. Buster Makely's line does away with the score -especially with strange girls in N. Y. We leave this to Chris Diacetis. However, Chris says he has no use for a wolf, Bud Parker's cordiality and excellent manners provide an excellent theme here at Ravena and we leave them to King Glen Townsend.

She thinks the use of paper to write notes is incredible, after all, National Defense. Ask the boys who write to their best gals. Marie Jabaut runs the homemaking section. Pep-Vigor and Vim are her numbers! Remember the senior plays? Miss Jabaut shouldn't ever forget them, for one of them was her success! Yes, William Miller is the cause for the fella's bringing home the things they made in school, for industrial arts is his outfit. There isn't any getting away from it, the boys' work is granld. In the language section we find Virginia L. M. Mitchell, a blonde with blue eyes. She directs the G.A.A. in addition to teaching French. Harriet Pauley, with rythmn in her name, shows us she heads our music department. The Senior Chorus is under her guidance too-with a mo-ma-mo-ever hear it? The tots of the third grade and part of grade two are under Beatrice Ramsey's leader- ship. We're sorry you're leaving this year. Ethel Schryer has the fifth grade on her hands. She lent a helping hand to the success of our Coronation Ball by helping make artificial fiowers. In the market for any? Mildred Tyler, a grand person to know, is in charge of English and the library. Haven't you heard the seniors talking about how much they like her and how sorry they are she is leaving? She really has a lot to contend with when she teaches English IV, and we do appreciate it. 'fGeorge Washington was the first President of the U.S.A. or Abraham Lincoln made his Gettysburg address at Gettysburg , might be the words of F. Clifton White. This year he left at the end of the first semester to join our U.S. Air Corps. Did you ever hear him talk? I'm sure he'll keep 'em fiyin'. 'lr 'k CLASS HISTORY Continued from page 24 There were more than one senior that blushed that night-and from the waist up. The girdle didn't fit Jackson very well but he was appealing just the same. And I bet Roberta won't ever forget the game, Boots She was feeling quite uncomfortable after the jewelry was taken off. Angie may have powdered her nose beforehand, but who knew the difference after the fiour paste went on. Eddie didn't enjoy the hot pepper as much as the kisses, but then could you blame him? The next day we were tired and not too energetic, but fortunately the teachers understood. After what seemed to be endless weeks of study and hard work, Easter vacationfinally came and with it came our senior trip to New York City, instead of the customary Washington trip. Bright and early Monday morning we left Ravena, a happy, energetic group. It was early, too, 6:20 a. m. We all had a grand time in New York. Miss Arnold and Miss Gliottone were swell, and we seniors want to thank them for being such grand sports. Friday night we returned to Ravena tired, but very happy. Two of our former classmates are now with the United States Marines helping our country win this fight for freedom. Although we wish john Ginter and Louis Caracciolo could be with us now, we are very proud of them for answering our country's call. To John and Louis we seniors want to say, Good luck! We're proud to have had you as our classmates, and we're routing for you. We are sorry that Harold Wells, Clifford Trosclair, and Walter Rowe have left this happy group and cannot graduate with us. In closing I want to say that the Class of '42 hates to leave R. H. S. where we have had so many good times together. We realize that after our high school days are over we are more or less on our own. For. many years to come fond memories of R. H. S. will linger in our hearts, and we will always be remembered as the Wonderful Class of '42. Roberta Jobson Forty-eight CLASS PROPHECY Continued from page 30 That dinner engagement! I almost forgot. It was for 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Brown, the former Vivian Greene, remember her? When I arrived, I found that the prosperous John Bailey was already there. He and Buster Makely were co-owners of an up-to-date garage. It was they who told me that Eddie Marcella was a foreman on the railroad 5 his brother, George, was a stationmaster in a large city. While eating I caught a glimpse of the former Jean Thompkins who was strolling by with her husband. , After dinner, a friend and I went to the Stork Club where Neil Hallenbeck and his orchestra were playing. What music, too! The floor show starred talented comedian, jackie Jackson and Johnnie Perrine who thrilled the crowd with his sparkling rendition on the trumpet. That is just the remedy this world needs to keep it happy and shaking with laughter. Tired, but happy, I was on my way home. The day had ended all too quickly and like a dream the night had swallowed that perfect day. I know now, that it's people like these that we need in America, and Class of '42, I'm proud of you! E Angie Amedio ir 'k CLASS WILL ' . Continued from page 36 A whole note in any song would be the frank sayings of Ed Marcella. We give this outright to Tom O'Sullivan. A smooth tone is a soothing job and so we leave Ann Nunziato's genius in the care of library to Harriet Van Wormer. The hottest Java Jive is something like Jackie jackson's ability to get into trouble, and we bequeath this wholeheartedly to Lynn Arcenaux. , just to keep this in the groove we leave Frank Sca1zo's philosophical theories on the world to the entire History C Class of 1943. A solid bit of rhythm gives out with Morton Tryon's excuses for parking his car. These go to Robert Van Etten. Of all the songs about hearts, none would fit the heart of Helen Court, and sorry we are that we can leave it to no one in Ravena but some Englewood man has taken care of it. The charm and wit of Dot Conrad we add to the blarney of an Irish jig-no one but Rosemary Mulligan. ' Audrey Fiescher will sing her way anywhere, but we leave Elsie Zolko's persuasiveness with Mr. Hopke to Aud. The catchy wink of joe Veltri gives many a gal a heavy rhythm of a heartbeat and we leave it to Dangerous Don McGraw, the up and coming Romeo. To the strains of the Star Spangled Banner and to Uncle Sam we give the services of two able bodied seniors Louie Caracciola, and John Ginter. The tempo changes decidely for we leave the roller skating wizardry to Reuben Kilmer to Lover Gombel. And in order to make an intricate passage for harmony, the flirtatious manner of Marie Powell we leave to Frances Mitch. No song, words, rhythm or accomplishment is needed for this as I finally leave my love to the girls of R. H. S. Robert Gallagher Forty-nine Fifty PATRONS I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who contributed so generously toward making this issue of Cap and Gown a great success.
