10 Ti-is Histonv or Ti-is ci.Ass or jANuARY 1938 All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players, They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. The setting of our stage is familiar and dear to us-Washington High School. The play- ers are members of the senior class, who in l932 and i933 made their entrances each in his time appearing in many parts and who, in l938, regretfully make their exits. ln the spotlight now is David Falkoff. David has just received the Bausch and Lomb award for outstanding scholastic achievement in science. Quietly, Ruth Ogol enters and takes her place beside him in the spotlight. Together, they hold a coveted place on the stage, as the standard-bearer and guardian of the flag. ln the junior high, they played yet another part-that time as recipients of the Lion's Club Award. joe Ortolani makes his entrance, a prominent player on our stage. joe was president of the class during the eleventh and twelfth grades, and school-community vice-president in the IOB. He was one of the business managers of the senior play, The Patsy. This play was one of the distinctive and most successful activities of the class, and it brought to the fore lnnocent Strazzeri, who proved himself to be as accomplished an actor as he was a good school-community president. Belle Rubenstein now comes to the front-notable for her literary work. As a co-editor of the Washington Post, the school newspaper, and of the Pathfinder, the literary maga- zine, her works stands unexcelled. A conscienitous worker now enters-Louis Morris. lt is his persistent efforts that make possible our yearbook. Besides this important role, Louis previously played another, that of vice-president of the class in the llA, l2B and l2A. ln the tenth and eleventh grades, it was the concentrated effort that john Melnyk put into playing the role of class president, that furthered many class projects. In the part of vice-president in the tenth grade, Raymond Gifford is worthy of recogni- tion. Although Raymond is now in Massachusetts, and is not graduating with our class, he was one of our original cast, and the part which he played was so well-done, that it was not forgotten. Ida Bagnara is such an active member, that she makes her appearance numerous times, first as school-community president in the lOB, and again as sponsor of the dance given by the seniors, the Big Apple. Our principal players have taken the spotlight because individually, they accomplished something of stellar quality. But for the supporting cast--the play could not go on with- out them. There were the ushers for the first graduation exercises, and those who served at the first senior banquet, and the hosts and hostesses at the Courtesy Party. Each one made his appearance, and in his time played many parts, making this play a memorable one, and the players worthy of many curtain-icalls. T'lVlahry Stolnitz IANUARY 1938
