Svrninr Gllaas llliatnrg On September 8th, 1927, fiftyfeight path' etic and frightenedflooking students filed into the Rye Neck freshman rcom. Pathetic be- cause of their abject misery at having been deprived of their freedom. Frightened bef cause cf the vast strangeness of this large study-hall and the proximity of the principal's office. Not frightened but hardly less pathetic was Miss Wilhelmina Hutchinson. Through the use of almost daily lectures and being kept after school, the class of '31 learned not only their lessons but also the rudiments of common courtesy and dignified behavior. Their highfschool social career was started with the annual Hallowe'en party and dance. An assembly program of great inter' est on Birds and Flowers of May was pref sented by the freshman English class. 1928-Sophomores! Almost dignified. Not until now had the freshman assumed his prof per insignificant proportion. The class of '31 by comparing themselves with the foolish freshman, realized the importance of the step they had taken. A new studyfhall and teacherg theirs for two full years. With a new and happy feeling of importance the class settled down to work. They experif enced some feelings of awe' and respect for the illustrious Senior but lost all respect for the juniors who raised cain and were in trouble almost as much as themselves. In their second year of' high school, they presented a Book Week play, depicting various characters from books, in the assem' bly. They were also well represented at the Hallowe'en party. ' As Juniors the class of '31 assumed a posif tion of real importance. They entered en' thusiastically into sports, were ,quite active socially, and behavior and work improved greatly. Their literary talent was recognized in several editions of the Junior paper, The Quidnunc fBeware of imitationj The Seniors were treated to an exception- ally pleasant party and dance at the Annual juniorfSenior party. The main entertainment was the chorus girl dance gracefully executed by the blushing boys. The junior science class made visits to the Suburban Ice Plant and the Brooklyn Poly' technfc Institute where they viewed with wonder and delight interesting experiments and exhibits dealing with laws of physics. At the Metropolitan Opera House, the en' tire junior class enjoyed john Faust Phd , presented by the University of Pennsylvania Mask and Wig Club. The thrill that comes once in a lifetime was experienced in june when the respective members of the class of '31 were informed that their exams were largely successful and that they were now technically Seniors . Their senior year is the year that the class of '31 shall treasure most in their memories of school. Their activities and adventures to' gether have formed a strong bond of friend- ship amongst them and made everlasting their senior days. This last year for the graduates has been the busiest and surely the most enjoyable. In every branch of school activity have the seniors been prominent. Four tea-dances and a card party were held in the gymnasium, tickets were sold for a halffdozen other enter' tainments, food sales were held, candy was sold at school, and the senior plays were showng all to raise the fund necessary for the Washington trip. The thrilling trip to Washington is second only to the final, glori' ous activity, graduation. James Reed Page Fifteen
