-- SENIOR ACTIVITIES This is an official Communique reporting on this day, lWay 1, the past year's maneuvers of the senior class of West View High. What a year it wasfjust crammed full with activities of every size, color, and shape. The size was in various lengths, the color, redg and the shape, hollow thin strips. No, we won't forget the spaghetti dinner held at North Park Lodge on October 26. Enough spaghetti was cooked on that afternoon by Mrs. Romito and several senior girls to feed a regiment, and a regiment it was. One hundred and fifty strong turned out to feast upon the delicacy of spaghetti with meat balls . . . The spaghetti had just been digested when along came the senior class play, on the night of November 7. Growing Pains scored a perfect hit. Citizens of West View laid aside their important problems for a bit of laughter and cheer with the seniors. YVe grown up seniors returned once more to the problem of growing up, and the pains connected with such, both mentally and physically. All the little things from our earlier days that so many of us had forgotten were freshened in our memory, and UGrowing Pains proved to be a delight for the cast and audience as well. The Federal tax was counted on the play tickets, and the profits were safely locked in the strong box in the office when we all went Hollywood. Vive didn't board any moving vehicle and wend our way westward, but we became concerned with cameras, hair styles, hair cuts, and clean white shirts. Instead of going west we hailed a passing street car and proceeded into the big city of Pittsburgh to have our graduation pictures taken. Pretty senior girls flashed their most beguiling smiles for the man with the birdie, and handsome young Romeos set their rugged jawlines at distinctive angles. Then a few weeks later, amid groans and cheers, we received the proofs of our various countenances .... The year was nearing the halfway mark when we enter- tained ourselves and the rest of the school with the Senior Serenade. The gym floor donned festive decorations. The lights were lowered and the atmosphere was one of romance and gaiety, as we tripped the light fantastici' to the music of Iohnny Fontaine and his or- chestra. Things were fast drawing to a close, as we ordered commencement announcements, name cards, and the other essentials necessary for a climaxing graduation. We began to realize that we were about to close the book of our high school life and our ever-memorable senior year. Thus we spent the last year of our school days, school days, dear old Golden Rule days.

7 , ,, Y , ,m , ATTENTION ! DUFFY THE BCJSS DEAR MOM, Pm on my way to the office tno, I wasntt had and cliclntt throw paper wadsj, but Iym going to have a man-to-man talk with the two men who really keep this school on active duty, They are Mr. Horsch, the supervising principal, and Mr. Paynter, the principal. I hear they are really swell pals and clon't even resort to capital punishment. Gee, I wish people had believed that way when I was still pushing a scribble stick. There are thirty-five school Hmarmsn and Umasterst' who keep the kids, I mean stu- dents, on the straight and narrow path. I hear that it's only in rare cases that they make children stay in for throwing erasers, and thevve practically done away with home work. The teachers think that itys too harcl on onets constitution to study at night, thut all this is just a rumor- eso don't tell any- one yetj. Vllell, Itm on my way to meet the foe Love, DUifIfY.
