True, much more is forgotten than is remembered, But some fond memories are destined to live forever. Among Our Souvenirs Two Hershey bars smuggled from the top desk drawer of Mr. Weaver, our amiable democratic principal, whose appetite, if properly measured, would still not quite overlap a space filled with his knowledge of so many little things that count. A slightly used, yet much worn, P. O. D. book unconsciously brings a tired smile to our tired faces in memory of Mr. Sowa, whose classes were quite as colorful as his ties and frequently as loud. This clicking of typewriters in our ears must come from a look at this beautifully arranged business letter, undoubtedly the product of our typing instructress, Miss Reiser, whose patient drilling and helpful scoldings forced our still fingers into agility on the keyboard. The quiet softness of this small poem we hold, left to us by Mrs. l-luckestein, cannot help but remind us of her own pleasant self. From the ceiling we see suspended a dangling participle to cheerfully remind us of Miss Maloney, whose good nature and spirited sense of humor mixed so harmoniously with her ability to conduct a class. The shorthand we learned is well forgotten now, but with us still are the amusing recol- lections of the humorous Mr. Citron, whose singing and wittiness take the credit for his never-boring classes. This - ouch . . . needle with which we have just pricked ourselves, has obviously strayed from the neatly sewed pin-cushion of Miss Tercheck. Her tactful Home Economics instruction has helped us to be the model housekeepers of today. If we take this X2 and multiply it by itself, we have as a result a very clear and distinct picture of Mr. Phillips, our authority on Math - his teaching ability is well worth remembering. A much-handled basketball speaks loudly of the memories of the energetic Miss Marzolf. Her vim, vigor, and vitality were good examples to all. Our heads grow slightly dizzy as we hurriedly glance over a now ancient piece of journal paper, once so laboriously perspired over every seventh period, under the skillful direction of Mr. Petach, whose ability to keep our jumbled Bookkeeping hgures straight is still as clear as mud to us. A buzz, a clang, a whir I ! l . . . and we remember with a smile the noisiness of the shop with its able instructor, Mr. Dumm, who kept the wheels turning and the saws buzzing ! Tattered and aged as it is, this blue operetta book holds within its music-filled pages refreshing memories of Miss Rothaar, whose daintiness and golden voice made our four years just a little more pleasant. Laid away also with this beautifully drawn picture, from the pencil of the artistic Mrs. Cochrane, is the pleasant memory of her able - though frequently futile - attempts at artistic instruction. As we hold in our hands this tiny card with the name l... R. Cutshall engraved upon it, we are again reminded that silence is golden and quietness one of the first symptoms of intelligence. The noise of the shop is again prominent in our ears - but this time a shade lower - as the wheels are being controlled by the newcomer, Mr. Costarello, who is catching on to the customs of S. T. H. S. K Any of our handy fiction books continuously act as printed reminders of our pleasant librarian, Miss Love, whose quiet manner and calmness often unconsciously brought us back to our senses in times of turmoil. A popular tune, coming from the direction of the nearest radio, is all we need to bring back memories of Mr. Markowitz. I-lis gym classes had few dull moments. Page Twenty two

History of Senior Class FLIGHT THROUGH MEMORIES Come with us on a short memory jaunt, as we pass through our last four years of High School ! It took time and hard work to climb to this step of the ladder of success. We are now prepared to step out into the world and be good American citizens. We are ready to prove it in any way possible. We, the Freshmen, entered High School in l938-small, excited, and inexperienced. With the help of our home room teachers, Miss Clove, Mr. Disegi, and Miss Hoffman, we soon grew more confident and began to realize that preparing for the future was necessary. Next stop on our flight - 1939 - Sophomores I This year was one of our most venturesome. Ar last we were recognized, for we now knew what was expected of us. We advanced another year or stepping stone toward our goal. Yes ! Juniors at last ! Upperclassmen. This was the outstanding year in our flight. By Christmas, every Junior was thrilled beyond words, he had received his class ring. Then came the hit of the year, The Path Across the Hill, directed by Miss Maloney. Another sensational event was the Junior-Senior Prom in May. The music for the season's important event was furnished by Art Sable and His Orchestra. Seniors ! Oh ! Our final goal of High School life is reached. A year never to be forgotton has ended. All activities demand our immediate attention. Under the leader- ship of Mr. Weaver and Mr. Sowa, our last year became our highest achievement. This year started and ended with skating parties, dances, raflles, Christmas cards, and Aquila. All money made on the activities went into our Senior Class Fund. The Senior Class Play was a smash hit ! A carefully coached cast, under the direction of Miss Maloney, gave a fine, clever performance of When a Man Tarriesf' One event after another and before you knew it we were dancing at the Prom as guests of the Juniors. Unique arrangements made the Prom successful. Then, as it must always happen, all good things came to an end - so ended our four years. Those inevitable days -- Baccalaureate Services and Commencement. The never to be for- gotten Senior Trip. To our regret - our victorious career as the class of '42 ended.
