But with the coming of a new planting season, the Tiger sows its crop and the fall will bring a new harvest. Corn, it's true, but home grown. Needless to say. at this time of year, most of this is canned. As Don Pedro said after his ninth pro- posal had been refused by a young senor- ita “Long time no si!’' As the magician sawed the woman in half, he said casually. “Now. ladies and gentlemen, after the young lady has been severed, her brains will be given to a med- ical school and the rest will be thrown to the dogs.” Just then a deep voice from the balcony interrupted: “Woof, woof!” And then the little boy yelled at the umpire. “Your head can have that ivory look in just twelve days!” Mr. Gillespie (to the basses) : “Come, now. A rich, beefy tone.” The basses: “Mm-mm-oo-oo-o-o-o!” Teacher: “Have you done your outside reading?” B. Pezzolla: “No, it’s raining.” U.E.

Eighteen CLASS HISTORY - - - (Continued from Page 6) Before we realized it, we were seniors lacing graduation. All rhe little things, once despised, became increasingly dear. We tried to make the most of the time left. In so doing, we looked around at our classmates who had distinguished them- selves during their high school careers. There is Vincent Vetrano, football player par excellence, president of the Stu- dent Council, our own selection as U.-E. representative on Mr. Brees’ trip to the state capitol. honor student, and able presi- dent of our class. Mary Bortnick. president of the Commercial Club, representative at Girls’ State last year, was our choice as vice-president. Mary Ruth White has been the recipi- ent of numerous awards in the prize es- say field and also editor of our school magazine. Robert Austin won national honors in a science talent search and lacked but one point of a perfect score in the army tests in the spring. Only thir- teen students from three states made this high score. As graduation approaches more and more of our boys are leaving for the armed services. At the time of writing. William Blazey, Joseph Purcell, Angelo Grassi. Myron Brazilla. and John Logan have donned uniforms. Many others are taking special examinations so that they may answer the call and any list must necessarily be incomplete. The football team smashed through an undefeated season to the championship of this section and the basketball team did likewise. Many seniors received music awards for two years in the football band and drum corps. The sectional music contest held here in May gave first ratings to thirteen T he Union-Endicott Tiger From the Radio Department Hi. ho. there, merry gentlemen! Let nothing you dismay!

In the traditional candle light service twenty-one seniors inscribed their names in the register of honor students. Leading them was Alida Tait. with Pauline Jones only six one-thousandths of a point behind her. Robert Austin and John Dapolito followed them closely. It is fitting and proper that these deeds be recorded in the history of U.-E. as the school will be dear to the hearts of the graduates. But more important still will be the record of the years to come. A post- war world has never offered a more tre- mendous challenge to graduates than that facing us. With this in mind we have chosen our motto “Let us light candles in a shadowed world. Betty Beaman '45

MEMORIALS - - - (Continued from Page 4) it cannot be just an American peace, or a British peace, or a Russian, or a French, or a Chinese peace. It cannot be a peace of large nations—or of small nations. It must be a peace which rests on the coopera- tive effort of the whole world. “It cannot be what some people think— a structure of complete perfection at first. But it can be a peace and it will be a peace, based on the sound and just principles of the Atlantic Charter—on the concept of the dignity of the human being—and on the guarantee of tolerance and freedom of religious worship.” People of the World! If you can build such a monument of peace, its greatness will lift it above mere human effort and make it a memorial touched and sanctified by Divine Wisdom. Vincent Vetrano '45
