CLASS AND CARD DAY Four years seemed to be a long period of time, yet this interval passed only too quickly for the l94O February Class, who suddenly found themselves taking part in those activities which bring to a close a senior's days at Riverside. The Class Day program brought the seniors together for the customary senior supper. A mock-banquet was the program presented before the meal was served. Waiters served the make-believe courses, and students in the class represented the food by their various talents. While the waiters served the appetizers, Grace Maciejewski played an accordion solo to portray appetizers, When the meat was served, a meaty play was presented by Walter Adams, Geraldine Staab, Don Weis, Irvin Charne, and Gertrude Krajna. Caper sauce, a tap dance by Shirley Trupke, was next served. Dessert was a clarinet duet by Don Weis and Irvin Charne, At the banquet, held immediately afterwards in the cafeteria, Ruth Rosenow read the class prophecy, A Dinner Guest's Dream. The evening's entertain- ment was concluded by community singing and by dancing in the gym. Several days after Class Day, Card Day exercises were held in the auditorium. President Roy Rom opened the program. Leonard Novak, vice president of the class, thanked the faculty for the help and advice the teachers had given to his class. Then Mr. Schneck led the school in the traditional song, Wherel Oh, Where? The class gift, a leather bound book in which the names of the honor students are to be inscribed, was presented to Gilbert Peirce, as repre- sentative of the next senior class, by Ruth Rosenow, valedictorian. Mr. Kastner then addressed the school, he made an excellent analogy between the impressions of finger prints and the impressions we get of people, just as no two finger prints are alike, no two impres- sions of people are alike. After John Jones, president of the next February graduating class, had received the gavel, the seniors, dressed in their caps and gowns, marched slowly out of the auditorium, singing School's Out. Class Day, Card Day, Commencement-school is really out for the- February Class. Class Day Melodrama l9
