PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS DI SCOTCH PLAINS HIGH SCHOOL SCCTCH PLAINS - NEW JERSEY jnfmw Ad This is just a short account of what our years at SPHS have meant to us. We couldn't possibly place a memory of every important thing within the confines of this book. We will look at our yearbooks nowg we'll sign them with the greatest of careg we'll be proud of our high school career. But we will not really treasure these memories until our class has drifted apart. When all the faces are only memories, then this Culmen will have reached its greatest value. The poem that follows will mean nothing to you now, but read it five or ten or fifteen years from now and think of your old friends in the Class of '48, Memory takes me back tonight To the days of long ogog To a little village--my old home- And to those l used to know. Again l see the old school house, Our teacher, the girls and boysg How precious now seem those schooldoys Mingled with sorrows ond joys. These childhood friends of long ago, Where are they all tonight They've vanished-like the ships at sea, So quickly lost to sight. My eyes grow heavy-a clock strikes twelve- Memory is now taking flightg But may it return and bring again The pleasure it brought me tonight. lSAMUEL 0. BUCKNERl --1 Editor-in-chief .. .........

The Fanscotian is our school news- paper which is published bi-weekly by an interested group of students, who often work until the Sacred Halls are dark. They always manage to get it out on time, though. The school anxiously awaits the report of Blinkey Eyes, the school reporter who is always at the scene of any parties or dates that happen to take place. Other favorite columns were the inquiring Re- porter and ln the Spotlight. The Fan- scotian staff has done a fine job of covering all school affairs and sports activities.

Mrs. Poulson aiu gm This year, the Art Club, under the guidance of Mrs, Poulson, has been very active around school. The club was formed as an outlet for the artistic talents of any interested students. The Christmas scene on our front doorway was painted by the group and they aided on the various other decorations throughout the school. The club has offered a service of making posters as publicity for any school organi- zations. They are planning a field trip to a nearby church to study the stained-glass windows. S6 Los Majaderos, our Spanish Club, was reorganized in September, with Miss Lenora Rossi as faculty advisor. The club name was adopted some years ago, and, loosely trans- lated into English, means Blockheads. The purpose of the club is to develop the interest of the higher-ranking Spanish students in the language and customs of Spanish-speaking peoples. The clubfs main social event, as in the past, was the annual Spanish dance. Usually a Spanish band is employed to provide a real atmosphere. OFFICERS President ..,.........

They practiced hard for assemblies and their annual spring concert the Night of Music at which they played many favorite songs. Two of the band members Joan Elsener and Dorothy Tutt were also members of the All-State Band. Scotch Plains High is proud of the band and appreciates all it has done to make school life more enjoyable. Scotch Plains High has been very proud of the twirlers who, at each game, led the band onto the field. Their initiative and skill has added much to half-time programs.

As a rule teen-age audiences do not like or appreciate classical music, but the orchestra received many fine comments after their various perform- ances.
