On Easter Monday evening eighteen happy and excited seniors met at Ithaca to take a trip to New York City. We were to go down by Greyhound bus and to stay at the Hotel Taft. Yes, for three days we were to be living in a world so different from our own that we sim- ply cou1dn't believe that this excursion, so long a dream, was now a reality. All night we rode on the bus-fun it was, especially after four Columbia University Juniors boarded the bus at Scranton at three a.m.-but tiring it was also-nobody got a decent n1ght's sleep, unless perhaps did our chaperones. But you know by now that the Class of '41 ls made of sterner stuff! So, on our arrival in New York City, we were all fresh and rarlng to keep up with the pace of the largest city in the world. It soon turn- ed out that New York City had a problem keep- ing up with us. Our first day gave us a b1rd's eye view of Manhattan Island. From our hotel we walk- ed over to Radio City. Here we were conduct- ed through the studios and were shown the many processes involved in the presentation of our favorite radio program-from the time the script-writer gets it on paper to the mo- ment we enjoy lt ln our own homes. A four hour sight-seeing tour of the city in an open-topped bus convinced us that New York as a city of contrasts. We saw the rich aristocratic residential sections border ing Central Parkg we saw the horrible slum sections of the lower East S1de's ghetto. On this ton' we saw many famous landmarks: two beautiful cathredrals, St. John, the D1v1ne's and St. Patr1ck's: Grant's Tomb: the buildings of Columbia University, many more too numerous to mention. ' During our stay in New York, we made a trip to the Statue cf Liberty: to the Hayden Planetarium, where we took to the moong to the Museum remained behind-she could three days here, she said: Natural History, where the historic animals attracted an imaginary trip of Art, where Lois have spent all to the Museum of skeletons of Pre- our attention. Atop the Empire State Building we gazed in wonderment at the amazing panoramas before Ula LaGuardia Airport we visited too. Here we watched our American planes come in on bird- llke landings and take off like butterflies soaring off a flower. Living at a metropolitan hotel was a new experience for most of us. Here we enjoyed luxuries unknown to us in our everyday lives. One of the highlights of our trip came on our last noon in New York. Our whole group deck- ed themselves in their Easter Sunday best, and dined in the Grill Room of the Taft, where we danced to the music of Frankie Mas- ters and his Orchestra. Each senior had the most enjoyable Easter vacation of his life. Each, also, feelsthat the trip wouldn't have been possible without the capable planning and leadership of our Class Advisor, Mr. Kaplan. We wish to thank him here for all he has done in our behalf to make our class trip possible. We also thank Mrs. Van Arsdale for being our chaperoneg we enjoyed her companionship very much. Now that we have had our class trip, we wish to add that we hope each graduating olasl in the future will be able to realize both the enjoyment and the educational values that arise from an experience like ours. ----Rita Shaw

anim We, the Senior Class of 1941, feel that lt is our duty to leave, to the Juniors, a few bite of sound advice, in order that they may more ably fill the positions from which we step. Thomas Powers, you should prepare to accept the great responsibilities that sre,no doubt, to be placed on your shoulders. We advise you to follow your basketball training rules bet- ter than you have in the past: this will get you in shape for executive positions, as well as for upholding your fame as a basket-ball star. Gerald Beebee, you should mix a little more in social life. Don't be afraid to talk. If you follow this advice you should have, in no time at all, a lovely young companion to ac- company you when you take those frequent,long drives in your car. Vincent Cahalan, we advise you to cultivate your voice. After your supreme success in the operetta WThe Mikadon, we expected you to ac- complish great things in this field. You have disappointed us during the last two years,but we feel confident that you have it in you. We expect you to bring fame to Sherwood. George Casler, you present a grave problem to us. We advise you to refrain from taking any more science. This year of biology seems to be having strange effects on you. After a little rest and quiet this summer you may be normal once more and able to resume your work 'EHcs A at Sherwood. Evelyn Van Lieu, we advise you to make a trip to a G.L.F. store ply of G.L.F. Fleshing you need to do this to uoue year ahead of you. vice, we feel that you of your class. and lay in a good sup- Pellete. We feel that prepare for the stren- If you follow our ad could compete with any Virginia Heath, we are really concerned about youg you must settle down and be a lit- tle more serious and dignified. Take pity on Miss Beck. Let her see that the Homemaklng Course has benefited you.We expect you to be- come as studious as Lois Myers. Bradley Mitchell, the seniors are really quite elated over your prospects as a Senior. We commend you for your scholarship, for your participation in sports,and for your interest inuschool activities. Our advice is nKeep it up . hilce Colley, we want you to be sure to keep ln mind that Sherwoods your Alma Mater. Don't let the boyirlends from King Ferry im- press you so much that you cheer for the wrong school. We advise you to get your boy- friends in this vicinity or keep Sherwood in mind-otherwise you'll be classed as a trait- or. R e Dale Sullivan, we advise you to stop ag- gravating your teachergyour marks are likely to go down. We think that the best thing for you to do is to organize a debating club.Af- ter that Wilkie-Roosevelt debate we rest as- sured that you will become famed in that field-if you follow our advice. Irene Jacobs, we advise you to reduce the number of dates and boy-friends. It might be wise for you to take one year of Homemaklng before you leave school. We feel that you will be needing it. bo enroll in Miss Beck's class the first day of the new school year. Louis Shaw, we advise you to concentrate on basketball next year. You should be pre- pared to take the place of one of our worthy senior players who is leaving. Mr. Maddaloni is depending on you! Ruth Powers, you should get in a little earlier nights. Dances do last Wil 1:00 A.M. but what do you do all of the rest of the time? Just because his name is 'Parker' you don't have to -- well. Barbara Richardson, we advise you to ln- slst on V1nce's getting at least a couple of spare tires. Really, it is terrible to be stranded at such late hours with a flat. Raymond Drake, we can understand your pre- dicament in being so popular with the girls, but we advise you to walt until your senior year is finished before indulging in such a round of gaiety. Like Tom, you, too, should obey training rules. Everett Allen, you should not think of Rival Dog Food, but rather Rival Wally Duck. Haven't you noticed Marie and Wally in those little tete-a-tetes? Margaret Nolan, you should cultivate your voice, so as to be soprano soloist in 'Shy' Sh1eld's Orchestra. e advise you to begin studying music right away. Margaret Ann Dougherty, we advise you to give up a few of the boyfriends and Margaret Ann, don't attend another Pol1ceman's Ball. Really-- Billy Nolan, we advise you to quit rais- ing Cain in Homeroomg settle down a little. You distract the teachers until ---- well, the situtation is serious. David Nolan, you seem to be always pick- ing on the g1rls.We advise you to leave them alone and concentrate on filling Chas. Hurl- but's shoes as Basketball manager.These lit- tle men seem to succeed at this position. Thus end our words of wisdom. Please don't be offended at anything we've said. We only hope that it has been beneficial to you, so that your class will be second to only one- the Class of 1941.
