CDNLY YESTERDAY Now aT The compleTion OT our Tour years oT high school, we can siT back, and laugh or shed a Tear aT The memories herein recalled. During our Time , we have wiTnessed in The aThleTic sphere OT TexTile The winning OT many P.S.A.L. championships, in almosT all The sporTs, including Tencing, baseball, baskeTball, and lv1anhaTTan cham- pionship in TooTball. AT These clashes we all cheered loud, long, and lusTily Tor The Purple and WhiTe TighTing iron-men. Do you remember The old-Tashioned home remedies you used To use, so ThaT when you goT To your music period your ordinarily smooTh, mellow voice would noT be harsh and raspy? The dramaTic socieTy during The Tour years produced many worTh- while and highly amusing plays, among which we saw Seven Keys To BaldpaTe . IT Pays To AdverTise , and The Goose l-langs High. The TaculTy musT be crediTed wiTh heaps oT dramaTic abiliTy Trom Their saTisTacTory producTion oT Winsome Winnie and The FaculTy Show oT I933 , composed oT numerous skiTs. ln our li++le world oT music, we have wiTnessed The incarnaTion oT a band and an orchesTra which enlivened many oT our inTra-school and inTer-school acTiviTies. These occasions included Friday morning as- semblies-remember shorT periods all day?-G. O. dances+especially The lasT one-Tree To G. O. members and The orchesTra had Their new uniTorms on-TooTball games-baseball games. There has been many a change in The hisTorical halls Themselves including The opening OT The pool which lured many oT us mermen and mermaids To iTs sandy shores-oh pardon mel-To iTs icy Tiles on The warm spring and early summer days. AnoTher acquisiTion which was To be one oT The smarTesT shops in school was The opening oT The 6.0. sTore-whaT would we have done wiThouT iTs everTlowing supply oT eighT by Ten-and-a-halT paper Tor ComposiTion Thursday. WhaT would we have done iT we had noT been able To geT down There iusT beTween periods Tor The RegenTs Review book, in which The day's home- work was assigned! There have been many changes on The walls oT our school. Re- member The painT iob ThaT was done and odoriTorous scenT oT painT Tor weeks aTTerward? IT was worTh iT when you remember ThaT you spenT Those periods in The sTudy hall. While we're on The subiecT, The walls. do you recall The murals ThaT were Tinally compleTed? Guess iT was worTh The Trouble Too, because They are cerTainly someThing To be proud oT. - When our ship was Tinally launched inTo The Senior SemesTer, we recall To our memories The elecTion oT class oTTicers and appoinTmenT To various commiTTees, The Tinal resulTs which included The mosT glamor- ous Senior Promenade, The Class NighT, and grand Tinale-6raduaTion lCon1inued on page IST

Tl-IE SENIOR'S DREAM A FANTASY Walking down I9Th STreeT we are greeTed by Mr. RosenTeld who bids us a cheery Good Morning and inquires aTTer our healTh. Hes- iTaTing and a bi+ shy on The subiecT, he inTorms us ThaT we are TiTTeen minuTes laTe, buT urges us noT To worry because, Tor Seniors iT is quiTe all righT. The door squad holds open The sTreeT door and, very dig- niTied, bows as we pass in wiTh an arisTocraTic air. George, The elevaTor operaTor, presenTs us wiTh The FascisT SaiuTe and Then ushers us To The plush-covered chairs which he has insTalled in The elevaTor Tor our con- venience. Upon enTering The oTTiciaT classroom we are greeTed by several haT-and coaT-check girls who eagerly Take our wearing apparel. Imme- diaTely a greaT number oT sTudenTs run up To us and give us a duplicaTe copies oT The day's required homework. ll-low ThoughTTul oT Themll The school's period bells are silenT and insTead page boys dressed in purple and whiTe velveT blow cuT-glass TrumpeTs. Growing Tired oT aTTending classes, we have no Trouble in enTering The Library lCuTTer's RoosT,l where smoking is permiTTed, in TacT several cigareTTe girls wander abouT The crowded Tables and give ouT cigars and coTTee lgraTisl. The school orchesTra is Tucked away in one corner oT The library playing Tea music, which laTer develops inTo Spanish classics and Tango dancing is Timain TeaTure. Q Lunch Time is growing near. Upon arriving aT The TexTildorT, we are greeTed by The head waiTer lMr. Kirbergerl who ushers us To a cozy Table Tucked behind a beauTiTul palm. The menu is in French, buT TorTunaTely our waiTer is able To TranslaTe iT inTo English wiTh The greaTesT accuracy. UnaccusTomed To This mode oT dining, we order lobsTer. This poor Tish appears To us To have a very bad case oT sunburn: upon coming closer To invesTigaTe iTs condiTion, iT iumps,righT up on Top oT our head and begins To crown us Queen OT The May, wiTh iTs mighTy claws. Several waiTers come To our rescue: Two oT Them Take a Tirm grasp on our leTT ear. The waiTers Tinally exTricaTe us Trom our predicamenT and we decide ThaT we will spend mosT oT Senior Week in The library, and ThaT lobsTer shouldn'T be eaTen in any monTh conTaining any oT The leTTers, A, E. l, O, U or even W and Y.
