And so iT came To pass ThaT The school year had ended. BuT beTore iT halTed, wiTh mixed sighs oT regreT, ioy and optimism, records were delved inTo, memories recalled, and liTerary Tal- enT rushed To The Tore. Then This annual came To be wriTTen. We lThe hisToriansl cannoT say ThaT we have looked back. On The conTrary, These happenings are noT behind us, They are parT oT The unknown TuTure. For will we noT change and enlarge These incidenTs upon re+eII- ing and bringing Them To mind? On a cerTain SepTember day, every year, Three Types oT sTudenTs renew Their conTacTs with civilizaTion. They are classiTied as sopho- more, iunior, and senior, respecTively. To pre- senT an analogy loT whom does ThaT remind you?l, The lowly sophomore is roly-poly YouTh, The pracTiced iunior is Prime Middle Age, and The veTeran senior is an AncienT. The TirsT sensaTion The AncienTs had when They began This year was one oT superioriTy. They were on The Top oT The pyramid. No one could look down upon Them. BuT This invigoraT- ing Teeling conTinued only Tor a liTTle while. Then came a period oT Tragic realizaTion-Summif High would noT know Them nexT year, They would be ouTcasTs, TorgoTTen Tavorifes. YeT we will noT wover Trom our conTenTion ThaT on graduaTion nighT This senTiency will likewise be supplanTed when a galaxy oT oraTors proclaim Them as The Young AdvenTurers oT Tomorrow, The Conquer- ors oT a New World. As has been said, cerfain evenTs oT The year will be held in The back oT everyone's mind, To be produced as wanTed as evidences oT The revo- luTion oT I939. NOT The leasT oT These were The sTruggles oT sporTing supremacy. Our warriors oT The gridiron inauguraTed Their conquesT wiTh HISTORY OF 1938-1939 a vicTory over EasT Oranges ScoTT High and culminaTed Their siege by Trouncing Caldwell, and very soundly. The biggesT Thrill, oT course, occurred aT The ouTseT OT The Millburn baTTle. when Cabby Baker ran back The opening kick-OTT, over sevenTy yards worTh, To score sTanding up. All in all, The TooTball Team acquired meriT wiTh a much beTTer-Than-average season, Our sTudenT body was very proud The nighT Their baskeTball Team sTrolled on The courT To en- counTer RuTherTord in a STaTe TournamenT Game. The squad had emerged on Top in all buT one oT sixTeen conTesTs. No beTTer Team during The pasT Ten years. LiTTle Five Champions. AlThough our boys were deTeaTed in a close conTlicT, The loss did noT deTrocT Trom our admiraTion. We are sTill proud. IT we were TorTune Tellers we could probably predicT a brilliani season Tor The baseball Team. BuT we'll sTay on The saTe side by wishing Coach comog ioods oT luck. The year was noT wiThouT iTs social ceremonies. ATTer The somewhaT hilarious TreaTise on adoles- cenf suTTering, in oTher words The dramaTic Growing Pains, we prepared ourselves Tor The usual run oT TuTure expecTaTions, The lighT Tan- TasTic was gaily Tripped aT several swing ses- sions, mosT noTable oT These being The Seniors' FooTball Hop, The Leap Year Dance, The ThriTTy Hi-Y hops, and The Junior Promenade. The number oT SummiT High girls who aTTended The Prom increased slighTly This year: Toreign girls are cerTainly appreciaTed by The sTronger sex. OTher Thespian Thrills were provided by Those Two annuals, The G. O. Show and The Spring Revue. The second annual TOP maTinee drew many curious To understand The TiTles oT The plays. Ah, yes, we do have so many hisTrionic aspiranTs.
