SENIIIR SECTIIIN About any senior class there floats an aura of hopes and dreams, eagerness and aspira- tions. All eyes are focused on the senior, he is at once the envy and the pride of the school. This term's senior class is no diiferent from any other in this respect. Its history is also almost identical with that of other senior groups. Its members, having undergone the radical change from a comparatively leisurely elementary school routine to the hectic and exhilarating life of Townsend Harris students, were naturally bewildered when they entered the school. After some time, however, dur- ing which the class, by absorbing the tradi- tion and background of Harris, achieved its equilibrium, it began a steady rise to the top. By becoming seniors, and as such, individuals set apart, they have attained their goal. The intellectual regimen of the school has served its purpose. It has sharpened the mind of the senior. He has been adequately pre- pared to make his own decisions, to forge ahead by his own worth, to carve a niche for himself. Besides this, graduation holds a certain sig- nificance for the senior, it means the en- forced termination of many friendships developed through years of constant associa- tion. It is not easy to say goodbye. But time rolls by and progress demands recognition. So it is with good wishes and a handshake that the senior bids adieu to his schoolmates. page fifteen xx S X S X x X Z4 Zzs' i r 'f

OUR FACULTY As I stand on tl1e threshold and contemplate college, My head hanging earthward, weighed down by my knowledge, Accrued in the course of three years' cram- ming, Of subjects I love which Pm constantly praising, My thoughts turn to teachers who foolishly strove To anchor with learning the mind made to rove, And to others, as bad, who when ennui did gnaw me, 'Would, rather than humor, ineffahly bore me, And thus could I easily list all their faults, But here will I now the least most exalt. A well-meaning teacher tried lessen a bit, An over-dried lesson with sprinklings of wit, Now this teacher, though young fall his hair wasn't outj Was afflicted, poor fellow, with left-fooled gout, For exercise, therefore, he couldn't use running, But instead, poorer fellow, was addicted to punningg His special depression pun was indeed ducky, The lot of all realtors is most unlucky. The boys on iirst hearing all rolled in the aisles, The second rendition elicited smiles, When he cracked them a third time each face turned to stone, The teacher low chuckled, but chuckled alone, He told them again, I thought I would bust, Three students arose and walked out in disgust, The tenth time I heard them my soul felt a pinch, We rose in a body and teacher did lynch, Doc Falion approved and he pardoned us all, The moral, dear reader, '4Don't wise crack at all. page fourteen

T0 THE SENIOR It has been my privilege as well as pleasure to have been associated intimately with the class of January, 1934-, as class advisor for the past two and a half years, a period cover- ing all but the first term of its life in Harris. It has been a joy to watch the members of the class grow from rather green and be- wildered lower classmen to capable and re- sponsible seniors. This class has accom- plished mucll worthy of praise and emula- tion. But I have been particularly happy in the friendly and intimate associations with the individual members. So I hate to see them go. I hope they will return often to visit and keep alive the old friendship. It is my fond hope that every member of the class of January, 1934, will be true to the ideals of Harris-upright in character, un- selfish in devotion to service for others, and persistent in striving for scholastic profi- ciency. Good luck and success to every member. H. F. Standerwick, Faculty Advisor page Sinn
