That was us. Our first theatrical effort? That fateful event took place on October 12, 1942-Columbus Day. It was then that the budding genius of our brilliant talent first burst into flower-and then closed dismally as the cry Man overboard! min- gled with Land ho l and the ocean waves moved along at such a furious pace that the ships could hardly keep lp. It was a hit confusing to our audietee, as Columbus was a different person in each scene, but they heartily enjoyed our discom- fiture. We never fully appreciated the meaning of the word fiasco until then. The big' scrap drive of the same year? Weren't we proud that we surpassed the freshies in one thing, at least? The proceeds, by vote of the class, went toward the stadium fund, which undertaking is soon to be realized, we hope. We fear that some of the irate inhabitants of the surrounding countryside didn't fully realize to what a noble cause they were being given the op- portunity to contribute, when they demanded that their roving agricultural implements be returned at once. The All-school Party we put on way back in 1944? It was called Valentine Hop and un- doubtedly was the best dance of the season. The day we all came to school in the morning to learn that there wouldn't be any classes in the afternoon because of the Open House that night? Our parents were given a opportunity to see what goes on in the normal school day and later were guests at a political rally where able imperson- ators presented speeches by Governor Dewey, Clare Booth Luce, and Mr. Roosevelt. When all good War Bond Gallants came to the aid of their country? We went from door to door selling bonds in the Sixth and Seventh War Loan Drives and we really used some high pres- sure tactics. Our junior year, the busiest one of all? Our play, Mr, Justice J immy, was a riotous dramatic triumph. We rolled 'em in the aisles. Our Prom? It was built on a rainbow theme and was a huge success. It should have been, for we certainly put enough time and artistic in- genuity into it. A canopy of balloons provided a big bang. Our last year, when we dignified seniors were put to every tan? We were photographed, took those rigorous LQ. tests, produced our senior play, were capped and gowned, attended Baccalaureate and Commqcement, and finally graduated. With these pleasant memories behind us, we go on to greater achievements in the world of tomorrow. We'll see you next in Who's Who.
