t 1 x lf. i Q A WEIRD SISTER CARD DAY AND CLASS DAY The February Graduating Class of l939 ended its days at Riverside by observing the traditional Class and Card Days. The custom- ary senior activities for this day took place on the last Friday before final examinations. For Card Day, presented before the entire school, all the seniors wore caps and gowns and occupied the center section of the audi- torium. Robert Heling was in charge of the program. Mr. Schneck began the program by having the student body sing the Where! Oh, Where? song. Following this. Anita Ergang FEBRUARY CLASS presented a toast to the faculty. Mr. Kastner gave the reply to this toast. Robert Heling expressed the appreciation of the seniors to the underclassmen in a toast to the student body. After he had concluded his speech, he, as class president, presented the block and gavel, symbols of leadership and service, to Roy Rom, the representative of the llA class. Finally everyone joined in singing the River- side Alma Mater. Then the seniors, singing School's Out, began their march down the aisle. After the seniors had left the auditorium. the remaining students toasted the seniors with Seniors, Seniors, a clever parody on Reu- ben, Reuben. Class Day exercises began after the close of card day when the gymnasium was opened to seniors for dancing. After a banquet, the seniors listened to the class prophecy by Albert Prinz. Margaret Hoenigke followed the pro- phecy by reading the serious Class Will. Marjorie Schulist read a poem written by another senior, Lucille Samonig. A skit was presented by Ioseph Miszewski, Edwin Schultz, and Erv Stoltman. After this take-off on the witches in Macbeth, Henry Mueller played a guitar. As a last gesture, all the seniors joined in community singing. With these final exercises, the seniors had only graduation left for them to complete their days at Riverside. However, their classmates will long remember the talent displayed by the seniors of the February 1939 class, as they participated in Class and Card Days.
