22 Zin illilemuriam NICHOLAS BARON November 3, 'l92l - August 4, 'I935 An amiable and intelligent youth: Sadly missed by those who appreciated his friendly manner and his fun loving personality. FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL---TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS With knee-length ruffled dresses and fancy hair-ribbons they made their entrance into high schoolg but only bobbing heads and stamping feet were seen and heard, ducking amongst the lofty seniors, who, possessing the knowledge and wisdom of the ages, slowly sauntered to their classes while the little seventh graders scurried down the corridors of Washington High School in order to reach their destination, or perhaps, to become lost. johnny. I got a new bike yesterday-Boy-it's a dandy and wait till you see it. Your pal Tommy No commas, no capitals, no grammar, and no proper English sequence-but johnny understood perfectly. These secret notes penetrated through the musty air of the quiet, but bored math class as beams of sunshine penetrating through storm-black cloud. The ever exact electric clock, ticking once every three minutes, was secretly watched from one corner of each student's eye. The solid scenery surrounding the placid neighbor- hood became just another fixture on which many a student's eye rested in searchsof a forgotten thought. 7 On certain pieces of small cardboard--which were rated equal in importance to the Con- stitution of the United States-in indelible letters, stood the failures, the successes, the optimistic and pessimistic phases of each one's life. She's got a boy friend. His initials are L. lvl, resounded and re-echoed throughout the corridors, as the heart-interests of Washingtonians fluctuated on equal bases among the he's and she's. Friends, Romans, Countrymen l have come to bury Caesar- Not to praise him- The future orators of Washington High School found to their liking, the presidential campaigns of the school, the higher-ups, the class dances and frolicsg and the moochers, their fellow moochers. Up the ladder of high school education they stumbled until the top was reached and then they tumbled out--seniors-masters of all intellectual subjects, brilliant, and full of knowledge and wisdom. True they had made mistakes, but who can add anything to the progress of our times without making any mistakes? Dianne Turk IANUARY 1938

New York! joe Latragna, the Department Store Baron, has just announced that with the opening of his new super store in New York City, he will surpass any record in store organization, this being the hundredth store under the name of Latragna in the Eastern U. S. Upon investigation, one will find that his secretary is the sweet, efficient Helga Kubica. Part of the Baron's huge success is due to his capable purchasing head, none other than Ruth Stoler.
