X. MUST tell you about yesterday, because the discovery which I made is one of the most fascinating of the century. I had gone out to the gift shop at Sunny Hills School in search of several old pieces of pottery which I wanted for my collection, for I had been told that they had some beautiful old hand-made pieces. I had been looking around for almost half an hour when I discovered an old hand-turned vase hidden in a cor- ner. I picked it up to look at it and in doing so dropped it. Of course vou can imagine how horrified I was. I stooped to pick up the pieces and as I did so I noticed an edge of paper sticking out of the rather thick base. I immediately broke away the l'CSt of the clay to get at the slip of paper and as I got it away I unrolled it. It was of fair size but very brown and brittle so that I had to be careful. As I read the writing on it I realized what it was-well maybe this will give you a clue. t'We, the ninth graduating class of Sanford Preparatory School, being in sane mind and sound body on this thirtieth day of May in the year of our Lord, the nineteen hundred and forty fifth- You can imagine what it was, one of the manuscripts of an early copy of the San- ford Preparatory School Yearbook. Wfhat a discovery! I gave a slight cry of surprise and soon had a gathering of five or ten people in the gift shop. After the introduction it continued and I read aloud. First to Sally Schoeffel, Kyle has left his amazing ability to collect money for the Senior Class from anyone. Second, Clela has left Sally her speed which she knows will make Sally an A-1 wing for Sanford next year. To Natalie, Bill has left the playing of the noon grace and Grace Caley leaves along with it, the dining room piano for practicing. Jake has added to that his amazing ability to have his English assignments done on time. So that next yearis Glee Club will not suffer too much at the loss of its tenor section, Jake and Kyle have left their melodious voices to Bob Miller and Johnny Dyer. The whole class has added to Johnny's gift a gallon jar of rubbing alcohol, another bottle of Sloan's Liniment and a yeast compound to be taken at meals. We are sure that this will develop for Johnny those desired muscles. Our three senior photographers, Pike, Dick and Kyle, have left the dark room, complete with shelves and home-made enlarger, to Wendy. They also advise her to start taking yearbook pictures early. Wendy' too, has been given the Mermaid Tavern to wax on Friday evenings and to clean thoroughly every morning. She may even conhscate books which are left out, for the benefit of the senior treasury.

74a 'L . To Alfred, Mac leaves his uncanny ability to construe that miracu- lous wave in his hair, a wave the Spider,' sorely needs. Tom leaves a bit of his heftiness to Alfred so that he will be able to play in more football games next year. Mac has left Bronxville and the privilege of talking about it to Pat Doorly, Marylee, Lee Ann and XVendy. To add a much needed spark of vitality to the Junior Class, Ann Biddle has also left to the four Bronx- ville girls that technique of noisemaking known only to her. Jane White wants also to leave her girls for Pat to take care of so that she can be sure that they will get good care. There were several other things left to various Juniors. Edith had left the costume room telephone to Bobby Lloyd and along with it Jane had left her a wealth of correspondence for Bobby to keep up in her spare time. So there could be no excuse for tardiness to meals or to classes, George had left his bugle along with a few free lessons to Bill Robinson. George had also left the care of the big dining room to Dick Johnson. To the whole of the Junior Class, Grace Read had left her keen mathematical sense. Last of all Buddy had left to the basketball team of 1946 the skill which he was unable to use for them in 1945. That was the contents of the little sheet of paper. I put it down and turned to the audience who were standing there in awe, all of them thrilled as they listened to the names of people about whom they had so often heard. Then, one by one, they walked away. Sunny Hills is the strong, vibrant force it was then, and that force is felt by everyone, the patrons of the gift shop, and the many other people who on any occasion visit the school. It has grown larger, yes, but with its increase in size there has been an even greater growth of spirit. Now as I glanced down again at the paper I realized the im- mortality of so great a spirit. Seadafz 'ugh UE, ONCE MGRE, to the crowded war-time Conditions in Washing- ton and Williamsbu1'g, the Senior Trip will be a week in the beautiful quiet of the Poconos. It will be a week long remembered by those who will go. Here is nature at her peak. The long rushing drop at Buck Hill Falls, the rolling, splashing falls called Indian Ladder, will never be for- gotten. The evenings are quietly spent around an open fire or a walk under the moonlit sky. The stillness and atmosphere of tranquil beauty pene- trate the depths of one's soul. Itis a much anticipated relaxation after we have completed all the essentials demanded of Seniors. We all want to express our appreciation for the opportunity of going for a trip like this, a chance, students of few other schools have. 7945
