LOWER C It may be truly asserted that this semes- ter's Lower C class has made an auspicious start in its three year Harris career. Adorned with the ever-present symbols of grammar school graduation pins and new brief-cases, the freshmen entered upon their high school course, cherishing high hopes for future success. Acclimating themselves immedi- ately to their altered environment, they set to work' on their term's activities, planning a newspaper, selecting class colors, and con- sidering many other formalities. The oiiicers chosen to lead the class through the all important first term exer- cised their duties with exceptional compe- tency. President Senftner and Vice-President Solomon merit commendation for the praise- worthy manner in which they guided the group through its initial obstacles. A mimeographed paper, the Blue and Silver, was edited by the council. The jour- nal's popularity was due to the fact that, un- like many other enterprises of a similar nature, it appeared at regular intervals dur- ing the semester. To the Lower C group, which has so ad- mirably completed the iirst lap, the upper classmen extend their most gracious con- gratulations. Furthermore, it is the earnest hope of all that succeeding councils will add to the work so estimably begun by their predecessors. I. Senftner ....... ........... P resident J. Solomon ..... .....

UPPER C The Upper C class has surmounted the ob- stacles offered by the first semester in Harris, and has advanced into an equally trying term which has shown its direful effects upon the group. In Upper C many students from junior high schools become members of the newly settled unit. Confusion ensues, and re- sults in a lack of cooperation which has de- feated many admirable projects initiated by this ambitious class. The outstanding of these was the banquet, a novel function for lower classmen and one which was greatly encour- aged by President Davidoff. The students, however, were not sufficiently consolidated to support wholeheartedly such an enterprise, and the widely advertised, eagerly anticipated U.C Banquet was canceled. The class paper, The Blue Eagle, was as good as could be expected from an Upper C class as far as literary content was concerned. In fact, it was an industrious accomplishment, unfortunately spoiled by the poor printing facilities which resulted in a scarcely legible paper. The Upper C's in general, nevertheless, are gaining a foothold in Harris, some even ex- celling in certain fields to the point of school- wide recognition. Credit is due to Mr. D'Amato, the faculty advisor, who has sup- ported the students in their endeavors and counseled them in the realization of their ideas. D. Davidoff ...... ..........
