On our journey through high school We have heard much of Sullivan and read most of Gilbert. Comes the de- sire to memorialize this matchless pair for what we owe them for ex- teriorizing their genius in the be- loved operettas. This we do in our present issue of the Loom. VV hen in the uncertain days ahead our course in life may seem not too certain, let us remember the light- hearted Gilbert and the melodic Sullivan. Once they visited our shores. Were they here now, we know they would never return to England with- out visiting Textile. They Never Will Be Missed was never meant of Gilbert and Sul- livan. Invoking a moiety of Gilbert's imagination we shall attempt to ful- fill our Wish by taking these beloved entertainers on a tour through Tex- tile High School. gf!

DOOLEY Tn the Graduating Class nf June 1944 The hlembers of the Graduating Class of june 1944: On this, the Twenty-fifth Anni- versary of the establishment of the Textile High School, I congratulate you, the members of the graduat- ing class of june 1944, on the suc- cessful completion of your course of study. During the past twenty- hve years, forty-seven graduating classes have passed through the doors of the school out into Life. Most of these young men and women, I am proud to say, have represented-and will continue to represent after the war-the back bone of the textile and related in- dustries not only in New York but also in the country at large. Members of the faculty and former graduates of our school have rendered splendid-and in many cases-conspicuous service in the armed forces. As Principal, I feel very strongly that the success of the school is measured by the careers of its students-by the happiness of the students and their usefulness in in- dustry and business-and in the community. I 21111 receiving, every day, from the armed forces and from industry and business, letters praising the services rendered by our graduates. VVith this in mind, I offer you-the members of the current graduating class-best wishes for continuing the achievements of those who have preceded you. Sincerely yours, VVILLIAIVI H.

ALBERT LINDLEY-Teacher-in-Charge We, the youth of today, the men of tomorrow, are fortu- nate to have been guided by a man who combines the shin- ing characteristics of achieving order and cooperation, and at the same time gaining the sincere friendship and admira- tion of the student body. Our principal, Mr. Lindley, has been both capable and understanding in his leadership. The days before us may present many hardships for our genera- tion, but we, who have been given strength and confidence by Mr. Lindley, will be better equipped to face them. DR. VV ALTER DE MOTT-Senior Teacher Now that we are about to leave the security of our school, we do not look forward to graduation day with so much anxiety as we had anticipated. We realize that good fellow- ship and understanding such as has been wholeheartedly showered upon us by our Dr. De Mott, will rarely be offered us. Now, as well as in future years, when members of our class will reminisce together, Dr. De Mott will remain synonymous with all that has been dear in our school days. MR. WILLIALI FREELIAN-AViClfiOTL Instructor Our classes have been for us, not merely places for grasping the rudiments of education, but for enjoying the personality and good humor which Mr. Freeman radiates. Because of his supervision of the Service Squad, and Aviation and Wood Shops, these activities have been a source of pleasure for his pupils. Mr. Freeman has generously and conscientiously donated his time to demonstrate what pleasure and satisfac- tion can be reaped from work well done. OE CAPONE Vzce-President MICHAEL OZARCHUK, President PATRICK MCANDREWS, Associate Secretary FRED SCHMEL Secretary FRANK TRUNCALE, Treasurer They have triumphed over all -THE GONDOLIERS Michael Ozarchuk: Our President! His job this term has been trying and exacting, requiring tact and diligence as go-between in matters pertaining to Senior activities. His personality, dependability, and well controlled reactions under all conditions have earned him the respect of both the faculty and student body. His teachers and classmates are confident his success is assured. Ioseph Capone: Or Blacky as he is often called, is our Vice-President. He has been foreman in Wood and Machine Shop, where his seeing-eye has proved helpful and effective to both student and teachers. His keen interest and outstanding ability in athletics assure him of continued popularity and success. Frank Truncali: The watchdog of the Senior treasury, and President of the GO. The operation and success of the Service Squad owes much to his continued efforts. His major interests are in the field of mechanics, where he has given invaluable assistance to our instructors. Fred Schmel: That's our Secretary! There's a constant merry twinkle in his quiet blue eyes. Of all his subjects, those pertaining to machines and science seem to be his favorites. During his stay at the Annex, he has ac- quired the necessary qualifications, which place him among the Leaders of the Senior Class. When Fred leaves this term, he will be missed by all who have known him. Patrick McAndrews: This cheerful mick has always been one of our most popular boys. His pet likes are shop, dancing, and women. He has been an officer of both the Lunch and Service Squads for the past two years.

You have arrived at one of life's milestones. During your school life you have formed good habits, I hope, which will have a great effect on your future. The teachers have tried to make good citizens of you, knowing that before long you must carry forward the democratic idea under which the people of these United States enjoy a greater degree of freedom than exists in any other country of the world. lf you proceed from this time on, with sincerity of purpose, following the precepts of the Ephebic Oath, there will be no doubt that our form of government will survive this present upheaval in the world. No matter what business or profession you may eventually follow, work will be a dominent factor in your life. In conscientious work you will iind a degree of satisfaction which will be its own reward. ln these days we cannot get away from the thoughts of war. Democracy makes demands on those enjoying its privileges. An educated, patriotic and healthy nation is the one which will survive. See that your contribution to our form of life is of such a character that your parents, your school and your country will be proud of you.

' I Q The Yeonren of the Guard The rhythmical trot of horses, jingling of silver bells, and a bright red carriage, announced the approach of those two outstanding rhythm makers come to visit us here on the grand old ship, H. M. S. Textile. Two gentle- men dressed in strange, classical clothes who are known as Sir Gilbert and Sir Sullivan, alight from their richly ornamented carriage and are met at our portals by Captain Dooley and the senior crew of H. M. S. Textile whose pleasure it will be to show our guests throughout the length and breadth of our school. As an introduction the Captain and the senior crew sing a delightful little aria. I am the Captain of H. M. S. Textile, And a right good Captain, too. In response to which the senior crew croons: You'rc very, very good, And be it understood, You command a right good crew. Our two guests seemed quite puzzled at the nostalgic strains of the com- position whcreupon Sullivan queries, uDon't you think that there is something in the air that seems very familiar, Gilbert? Yes, Arthur, let that not bother you, replies Gilbert. Pardon me, gentlemen, but I think it is about time for me to show you the ship owing to the fact that each of the crew is at his station greatly anticipating your visit, interrupts Captain Dooley. VValking along the main deck of H. M. S. Textile our visitors are pleased to see many of the crew diligently working at their assigned jobs, particularly Sir Ioseph Porter Burke, K. C. B., who is known to us as the living embodiment of the exact science located on the second floor where he is often LOST AND FOUND, Cleaning up the windows and sweeping up the floors, And polishing the handle of his big front door. Our visitors are shown to the luxurious cabin of Textile's Lord High Exeeutioner Mr. Siegel, whose duty it is to keep order on the ship and punish all offenses severely. The Lord High Executioner from his soft, plush lined, swayback chair, greeted the little group solemnly with: Every day it happens that a victim must be found, I've got a little list-I've got a little list, Of S. T. H. offenders who might well be underground, And who never would be missed-who never would be missed. Didn't I tell you once before that these dialogues are slightly familiar? remarksTSullivan. T T Quite right, responds Gilbert, 'fthese dialogues seem to have come from thc wonderful manuscripts of Dr. Horwitz, the Poet Lureate of H. M. S. Textile. He must be a great author to produce such fetching choriambics! He knew what to leave in the ink bottle. Suddenly the Lord High Executioner's recitation is interrupted by the chiming of the ship's clock which denotes a change of watches. 'Tm sure you gentlemen will excuse me for I have a few rigadoons to execute fsicj before lunch. 'lCertainly, replies Captain Dooley. '4Rigadoons on a ship? ask Sirs Gilbert and Sullivan. Surely, answers Captain Dooley, you see, we have sarabands and rigadoons during certain periods of the day when part of the crew is off duty. But let us proceed. Oh, gentlemen, ejaculates Captain Dooley, here comes Major Gen- eral Ford. A general on a ship? asks the bewildered Sir Gilbert. He is my chief assistant and has served in the ofricial capacity of guid- ing our seniors to a successful destination. Now let him speak for himself, says Captain Dooley. Yes, I am a Major-General! I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral, I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical, From Marathon to Vlfaterloo, in order categorical, I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical, About binomial theorem I'm teeming unto a lot of news- XVith many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenusef' The general very graciously bows low and begs to be excused because he has an important conference with the senior committee concerning a bouillabaisse of plays, tales and a prom. Do you know, Captain Dooley? l've seen many bulletins concerning some strange event called a prom, declared Sullivan, and I should appre- ciate it very much if you would tell me what this occasion concerns. VVell, replies Captain Dooley, this is an occasion that is celebrated by the senior crew once every cruise. It is a gay affair at which Paderewski's Minuet is frequently played and danced, it is preceded by Strauss' Waltzes, magnificently played by the famous H. M. S. Textile band. lt is the ter- mination of a successful cruise. fContinued on page llOj 95 We have often thought that a jester'.s calling would suit us to a hair -YEOMEN OF THE GUARD Although Gilbert and Sullivan had achieved considerable fame, as dramatist and composer, respectively, their true potentialities were not realized until they became a team. Prior to their meeting, Sullivan had launched himself upon a career as a serious composer, his most distinguished works being incidental music to Shakespeare's plays, notably The Tempest and Macbeth, His lengthiest achievement was a grand opera, Ivanhoe The height of Sullivan's success came at forty-one, when he was knighted. But, you may ask, just how many of Sullivan's compositions are being pre- sented today? Essentially, there is one hymn, Onward, Christian Soldiers and the ever-popular The Lost Chord. Beyond that there is very little besides museum pieces. And what of Gilbert, the dranratist? Well, beginning with HDL Dulea- mara, when he was thirty, Gilbert pursued a career of playwrighting, being generally regarded as successful. Time, however, changes the tastes of the masses and today of all Gilbert's plays we occasionally hear of 'lEngaged being performed by an amateur dramatic group. lt seems evident then, that on the basis of their singular cllorts these men have no claim to immortality. And yet, the names of Gilbert and Sullivan are regarded as nearly immortal as any two names in the history of operetta can ever hope to be. Therefore, we may assume that here is one of those perplexing examples of partnership genius contrasted with singular obscurity. In its own sphere, there is nothing quite so perfect as the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. As a collaborative effort combining humor and music they have no equal. The combination of lyrics and music are so homogen- eous and closely woven that it appears almost as a fallacy to believe that they did not come from one mind and one inspiration, but are the result of a union. The remarkable achievements of this union of Gilbert and Sullivan may be explained thus. VVhatever deficiency either had was complemented by the other. They each possessed the faculty of being able to draw the best out of each other. Gilbert's libretto brought eleverness and wit to the com- bination while Sullivan's music supplied the beauty and abounding rhythm so vital. The aforementioned abounding rhythm is the real key to the enduring popularity of the Gilbert and Sullivan productions, generally referred to as the Savoy Operas. lt is this vivacious rhythm, both on the interpretive and creative sides, that places them in a separate and enduring class. lust as the essential part of the dance orchestra of today is a steady, solid rhytlnn section that can keep the beat at all times, so is the rhythmieal elegance of the Savoy Operas its solid base. The charm of Sullivan's music lies in its unfailing rhythm and rich melody. However, not all the rhythm of these 96 operettas came from Sullivan's lilting melodies. Wliereas Sullivan was a great musical rhythmist, Gilbert was in turn a great verbal rhythmist. In his lyrics his rhythmical adroitness is exceptional and in not a little of his dialogue is there rhythm too. UH. M. S. Pinafore is perhaps the best ex- ample of this lively, unfailing rhythm, a rhythm which gives this operetta its everlasting youth. A source of continual debate among music lovers is choosing the superior of these two men. Gilbert or Sullivan? Which of the two actually con- tributed more to the operas? Should the credit for the immortality of their work go to the dramatist or the composer? Sinful though it may be to put asunder those joined in the holy wedlock of the arts, let us examine both points of view. On one side we have Gilbert, the creative agent. Gilbert it was who laid the foundation of the operas upon which the superstructure was raised. It was he who conceived the plots and created all the delightful characters to be found peopling the operettas. Sullivan, on the other hand merely created the music to accompany the libretto of Gilbert. From these surface facts Gilbert apparently was the superior of the two and deserves the greater recognition. But let us consider further. Sullivan's music, alone, can stimulate a mind worried by the cares of the day. His melodies can be heard away from their operatic setting and still enchant us immensely. But could the librettos of Gilbert be presented upon a stage, as spoken drama, without causing an audience to depart at the first opportunity, muttering about boredom? Probably not. It may well be that the richness and majesty of Sullivan's music gives a semblance of gold to otherwise weak Gilbertian verse. Withorit attempting to detract from Gilbert's genius, the truth is, that stripped of Sullivan's music and clad in stark literary nakedness, many of Gilbert's lyrics would be rather tiresome, if not objectionable. In summation, while Sullivan's music can face the world without Gilbert's libretto, Gilbert is rather listless without Sullivan's accompaniment. It is therefore apparent that if we are to judge between Gilbert the dramatist and Sullivan the composer, the verdict must be given to Sullivan. In reality, it is of little consequence as to just who was the superior of the two, as neither could achieve any measure of perpetual fame without the assist- ance of the other. Of greater importance is that they were a team, a team that gave the world such musical treasures as, Trial By jury, The Sorcer- ers, HH. M. S. Pinaforef' 'The Pirates of Penzance, The Yeomen of The Guard and 'The Gondoliersf' Their contribution to musical culture is great enough to endear them in the hearts of all lovers of music forever. 97 .l?..l......, my Yu 0 .QZQ r, K .uns-.

Robert Alberti leading his own band and jane Paulette as his vocalist. Mary Paul married to a King is King in her household. Ho, Ho, Ho-I can see a fellow-he's in the fur business, during his school days he was called a wolf-his name is Lee Wechler. Ah! humm! there is a pretty sight I see-that's right-wedding dresses and the girl is trying to decide which one she wants-her name is Elaine Hinzpeter. There is a couple named Ralph Ghiaro and Lydia Ezersky cooing to each other. How wonderful it is living in a house built for two. An earl seems to be loose but right behind him is Marguerite Touchette. Anna Stanick is having trouble raising quintuplets. George Keyloun won the Harvest Moonball Con- test for jitterbugging. Muriel Blatt is a secretary for a Governor. America Laurido is finishing her last semester in a Music Academy. This is a line future for our graduates-a fine future but wait, I see more.

This is our Swan Song, our part- I W ing salvo. Four years have come and gone 7 like the long woolen underwear Uncle Q Henry gets rid of every Spring. Four years V in which we grew up, changed from large f' eyed freshmen to smug all-knowing world- f l sters. Yep, here we are on the threshold which separates Textile from the outer world of great reality. Here we are stand- ing on that threshold waiting for someone to hand us a diploma with well-wishing. As boys and girls who have spent such a considerable length of time in one place, we should not leave without deeply indenting our names in the hearts and upon the scrolls of those we leave behind us. ln order that the graduating Class of Iune, 1944, be re- membered we do now draw up this last Will and Testament. To the teachers who have served us so gallantly, so completely, and so successfully we leave our names. In future years any teacher in this school while lecturing to a class may say, I remember back in '44 when Marmaduke Mulligan was a Senior, now there was a bright boy. Yes, to all teachers we leave our names so that they may use them as a comparison between the old and the new. To the teachers we also leave their digmty for try as we have. we have never taken that from them. From the time as freshmen when a group of us wandered into the girls' gym and a female Gym Teacher collared us savagely, to the escapade when as Seniors we hid the Attendance Book of our favorite Science Teacher, they certainly have remained poised. To the undergraduates we leave everything. We leave the books to you, perhaps marred, perhaps a bit diflicult to interpret, perhaps slightly over used by ourselves. We also leave you the teachers. PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE, remember in these days, in these times of war, teachers are hard to get. We beg of you, undergraduates, do not mistreat our teachers. We leave them in your hands. Again and perhaps most important to you undergraduates we leave Textile. We leave you seventh termers, the tables marked Seniors Only. We leave all of you the bustle of the machine shops, the tests galore, the eye-popping Gym work, the exactness employed in the Art classes, the intelligent air of an English room, the milk on the lunchroom floor, and the empty bottles on the lunchroom table. We part with them with reluctance, but part with them we must. That is all we can leave, we cannot leave anyone or anything in Textile the knowledge gained during our stay. This we must treat carefully and take with us' in our worldly travels. 99 lContinued from page 9Oj The Schemer .. . ...............................

WALTER GRANT I view occurrences big and small- For I loom head and shoulders above them all. DOLORES DEPERINO Here's a maiden free and agile, Scorning pastimes conceived for the fragile. GENEVIEVE AMICO Let us gaily tread the measure, Make the most of fleeting leisure. IOSEPHINE MULROONEY The question is had she not been a thing of beauty, Would she be swayed by quite as keen a sense of duty. GERTRUDE WEBER I 've jibe and joke and quip and prank For lowly folk and men of rank. FRANK D7ANDREA I can set a braggart quailing with a quip- The upstarts I can wither with a whim, But his laughter has an echo that is grim.

Since the first term of high school, yve have known him to be the average student, but with this much difference. Ioseph has gone out of his way to do all in his power to make this school, the school that it should be. He served as GO. delegate for two terms and for seven terms served as secretary for Mr. Kir- berger, our physical instructor, and was senior chairman. He did a splendid job of skillful management. Therefore, we seniors of 1944 consider Ioseph Giaquinto our most outstanding student of 28th Street. May lie continue his brilliant work in the future. FRANK F ANTETTI The Senior Class is fortunate in having such a dashing president as Frankie. Frank told us that he likes to loaf, play baseball, football, basketball, and most of all that he likes girls. We all think he did a splendid job as Senior and GO. President and Supervisor of the Service Squad. When he leaves Textile this term he will be missed by all those who have known him. VIRGINIA EDICK Virginia has been at 28th Street since her first term in High School, and in that time she has rendered many services. Her main weakness is ice cream and her hobby is serving. Of all her classes, Mr. Samal1nan's Com- Inercial Law is Ginny's favorite. Ginny also thinks Sonny Tufts is Super! She, at present, is working for R. H. Macy's and her ambition is to someday become a telephone operator. IRENE IUCHNIEWSKI Irene entered 28th Street after attending the Main Building for iive terms. She has been chosen the one most likely to succeed and because of her many qualities is entitled to take her place in the Hall of Fame. She hails from Brooklyn, and just naturally likes the Brooklyn Dodgers. Her pet likes are the color blue, baseball games, books, Tommy Dorsey and steak. Her ambition is to become a journalist. VERONICA BURKE A tall and attractive girl is Ronnie. She has a personality that matches the sparkle of her engagement ring. Ronnie has been in the Annex since the third term, and has proved to be an outstanding student and a real friend to everyone. She is the secretary of the senior class. Her pet likes are the Navy and Frank Sinatra. Ronnie's personality will aid her on the road to success. ANNE RICIITILR Here's a popular senior who likes dancing, the Navy Qbelievc it or notj, working at Macy's. Before coming to 28th Street, Anne was at the Main Building and thinks that our '1Little Red Schoolhouse is tops. This blue-eyed 104 1 WJ? blonde's ambition is to become a Navy wife. The Class of C-80 wishes you all the luck in the world. IDA IANELLI Here is a girl that never leaves a task undone. Since her entrjl at 28th Street Textile HQh School, we have known herdoiibe a studious and eo- operative student. Ida is a willing worker and has done everything in her power to improve conditions in school. She has had service credits for almost every term in high school. Ida was a senior secretary and did a splendid job of management. She is a prompt and most attentive girl and for this we consider her one of our most outstanding students. Good luck to you, Ida. -l1T- To P.F.C. HENRY PRUNKA, U.S.M.C. Here's a sweet fellow that we seniors all know, He joined the Marines but not to make dough. He's strictly a sharpshootcr, he's made many a score He is bashful and quiet, as we knew him before. Marine life has changed him, we know that of course But we still miss Henry, to us a great loss. So the best of luck and happiness, too, Remember us Henry, as we remember you. To P.F.C. LAWRENCE GORMLEY, U.S.M.C. Here's a swell fellow who joined the Marines Hels doing his lighting with excellent teams. He was to be graduted in june with us all His fighting urge was greater, so he answered the call. Larry was quiet and he knew quite a bit- Marine life has changed him, he's now quite a hit. So to you Larry Gormley, we say Hail and Farewell And when you get back, may you have lots to tell. To DAVID G. KAY, U.S. NAVY David is our sailor boy We seniors wish him fun and joy, We know that he is doing his best Fighting for his Uncle Sam like all the rest. Your eyes are blue and you're six feet, too All the girls think you're just too, too! So bon voyage, to our big healthy gob May you always continue to do a good job. lVlARTHA LOVENSKI and ELLEN DOBOSIEWICZ 105 llaplain Joseph Purler lllaims: Once upon a time I thought I understood woman, but that was before I found: If you Hatter her, it frightens her, If you don't, it bores her to death, If you make love to her, she gets tired after a While, If you don't, she gets oilended at the beginning, If you agree with her in everything, you cease to charm her, If you don't, she thinks you unreasonable, If you don't believe all she tells you, she thinks you a cynic, If you do, you're a fool! If you Wear loud ties, socks, and etceteras, together with a loud hat, shc Won't let you take her out, If you Wear something quiet, she goes out with you, but gazes all evening at others in loud ties, socks, etceteras and loud hats! A If you're jealous over her, she can't endure you, If you're not, she can't understand you, If you join in her gaieties, and approve of her drinking, she vows you are leading her to the devil, If you don't, she thinks you're a Wet blanket, If you are ailectionate, she soon tires of your kisses and seeks consolation elsewhere, If you are sweet, old fashioned, and a clinging vine, she doubts if you have any brains, If you are modern, advanced and independent, she doubts if you have a heartg If you are cute and boyish, she longs for maturity, If you are brilliant and intellectual, she longs for a helpmate, If you are temperamental and poetical, she longs for a playmate, And all the time she makes you think she is falling in love with you for What you are, and is trying to remodel you into what you never were nor ever will be! If you clon't believe, End out for yourself! ADAPTED 106 Princess lrla Says: I nevg did understand man becauseg l If you Hatter him, he thinks you're trying to catch, hook or land him, If you don't, he thinks he is making no progress with you, If you agree with him in everything, he thinks you have no individuality, lf you don't, you're hard to get on with, If you're jealous over him, he feels tied down to you, If you're not, he thinks you're losing interest, lf you join in his gaieties, drinking, etc., he thinks you too low to associate With, lf you donyt, he Qif he is that typej thinks you old fashioned or afraid of yourself, Did you ever see a man who is sweet, old fashioned, and a clinging vinc ? That characteristic is usually reserved for the fair sex. A male in that category may have brains but-. . . g If you are modern, independent and advanced, you are typed in either of two classes: Qaj a school teacher, or fbj a much too sophisticated social Climber, If you are affectionate, you're too fast, If you are not, you are a drip , lf you are cute, plus freckles, he seeks someone with understanding, If you are brilliant and intellectual, he seeks someone he can play with, who cannot put up a better argument than he when discussing politics. Men just love to come out tops in a political or otherwise intellectual discussion. If you are temperamental and poetical he thinks you a bore, a pest, or just plain silly, All the time he tries to make you think he is sweeping you off your feet, While all he is doing is playing Clark Gable very badly. If you haven't found out yet, you soon will. ADAPTED 107 LEST WE FUHBET Our Senior year has been a memorable one and all of the five hundred graduates have helped to make it so. But that we might never forget them, this space has been provided for the most prominent students of the Senior Class .............. At the head of the list is our Senior President, VINCENT CIPULLO. Many of the girls didn't know Vinnie when lie was a candidate but he won the election because of his great popularity with the powerful male sex of Textile. VVhen he came into the spotlight, we found him to be kind, con- siderate and mannerly. He has a wonderful voice and glorilies Sweet Adeline when he and TRUDY WEBER harmonize. He's been an efficient president whom we'll never forget. She is quiet and reserved yet her absence is definitely noticeable. She is Cirl Leader of Arista, her I'l21II1C-B'1ARCARE'I' MCHUGH. Margaret has been a secretary to Miss Curran for a number of terms. She is dependable and an asset to Textile. Along with countless school positions MARVIN MAZUR is Boy Leader of Arista. Few committees are formed without being headed by Marvin. He is the Chief-Inspector of the Cafeteria Squad and a member of the Brother- hood Council. In the elections for Senior President he drew a large portion of the girls' votes. He has, literally, a linger in every pie. Among the Senior Officers we have three who do most of the work and receive the least credit. They are THELINIA GUNDERSEN, LORETTA SIEBECKE, and ANNA FROELICH. Thelma is also well known for her activity in Health Education. She is the Vice-President of the Girls' Health Ed Honor Club and the star player of the Cirls' Basketball Team. Loretta Siebecke is the Secretary of the Senior Class. She is a member of Arista and a very popular member, too. Anna Froelich holds the position of Senior Class Controller which requires a responsible and capable student and Anna Hlls each qualili- cation. Many afternoons will find her working over large books until ive o'cloek. Tall, handsome, the envy of the boys and the idol of the girls is EDWARD REDDING, the C-.O. President. Ed is a star player of the basketball team. He 108 .yn AMI-1 is a good student and a good friend. He has made a line President. Lower term girls Walk in a daze after speaking to him but Ed shruggs it off with, Anything for thirty-tive cents! Strolling along the corridors of Textile we frequently see three girls in heavy white sweaters and purple skirts. These familiar outfits publicize the basketball games, for in these sweaters with the major T are the cheer- leaders, ELAINE HINZPET'ER, BERNICE NICKLAS and MARY EBNER. Elaine, Bernice and Mary are the originators of the Girls' Cheering Squad. Elaine is the Captain of the squad. Last term she was the controller of the GO. Elaine's a good scout and liked by all. Co-Captain Bernice Nicklas was also a CC. officer. She held the position of Corresponding Secretary. Bernice is an Arista member. She is admired by the faculty and liked by the student body. Mary Ebner is this term's GO. Controller. She has given many terms of service to the Lunch Squad and is a captain this term. Like her friends Elaine and Bernice, Mary is very Well liked. EDWARD VULCAN is a lad who has risen to great heights of popularity in this last term. He is a member of the Loom staif. The girls find him excellent prom bait but Eddie has a previous engagement with the Army Air Force. MATTY SIMMONS has earned his space here because of his many services to the school. Matty has broken and set a new record by earning sixty-six service points. He has been on the Spinning Wheel Staff since his first year at Textile. He is a member of the Brotherhood Council and the Director of the Variety Show. IOAN TVICCAINIBRIDGE has been a faithful supporter of the General Or- ganization. For several terms she was a class representative and linally ran for the ofhce of controller. Last term she was elected Vice-President. Ioan is sincere and diligent, a conscientious student and a regular fella. Much credit for this year book goes to TONY CAPONE, Art Editor. Tony is quiet in manner and wears a perpetual smile. He puts every effort into his Work. Tony is a member of the Brotherhood Council and the originator of the Senior Figoota Fraternity. Seen constantly with Capone is FRANK lVIAGGIO. Mag is one of the Art Staff members and offered many sugges- tions concerning the layout. 109 4 fContinued from page 95D Before you leave, gentlemen, you must pay a visit to our Quartermaster Department, where we manufacture all the necessary articles of clothing needed aboard our ship. 4'With pleasure, respond Gilbert and Sullivan. Moving along on rubbery legs they enter and whom do they find but Lady Buttercup Galvin with all her sisters and her cousins and her uncles and her aunts looking over the latest styles.
