of the “Son” tribe. “Mort,” our versatile sports captain who insists that Hank Greenberg is his cousin — through his father, he says. This is our room, and I am sure that the students who attended this class during the ’45-’46 term will long remember the happy time they spent here. (Until June 30th, to be precise.) Class X-35 Class X-35 — here is a scene to stare at — through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars! The background is a gleaming array of mysteri¬ ous test tubes and chemicals, and the atmos¬ phere is one of vitality, youthfulness, and eager¬ ness for knowledge (of how to persuade a teacher to allow a free period for baseball). The scene is peopled by characters deep in activity. A few are coupled around the fish- tank, somberly meditating on the intricacies of its architecture. Others are running around the room — training for Field Day. Class X-35 topped the list on Inter-Room Field Day with a total of 29V2 points. The stars include Leap¬ ing Leo Lankowski, surefooted McGill, record- breaking Baransky, the Late Betty, and the eight tripping maidens who gracefully (?) won the relay. Not only do thinkers and athletes catch the eye, but also do the flitting antics of our repre¬ sentatives to the Opera, and our secretary who handles the worthy causes invented for the good of Class X-35’s soul. Finally the picture is completed by the teacher, Mr. Laycup, the genial guide of the grateful Class X-35s. Class X-36 Flash! “Booze” Rusen once came on time! This startling and unusual event shook the students of Room 36 to the core! SOCIAL EVENTS — Room 36 pupils attended a tobogganning party and a roller skating social during the term and both proved very successful. MUSICALLY SPEAKING — Roberta Silverman and Mugsy Mason “talk¬ ed about the weather” (unusual) in the Pirates of Penzance and quite a few more girls are donating their vocal talents to Miss Horner for the Festival. SPORTS — The girls made Room 36 quite proud of win¬ ning the Inter-Room Volleyball championship for Grade X and the boys (oh, what would we do without them!) also did well in sports. OBITUARY — Our mirror (long deceased) met its untimely death as all good mirrors do and this tragedy was mourned by some and rejoiced by others. We would like to thank Miss Ross and all our other long-suffering teachers for trying to pull us through our first year at Tech., un¬ scathed. Page One Hundred and Seventeen
