E enior gfcldzi .xhlfilforg S the sun smiled down on the troubled world, way back in 19-12, so did Woodmere High smile for at least she grinnedj, at the new group of fresh- men who swarmed the halls of that noble institution. The uoldern students even laughed out loud, as they saw little Mickey Straclcs stumbling about, lipsticlc smeared over her face. fBut what can you expect, when sheyd only been wearing the messy stult six weelcs?j How could they realize that from such a gawlty child would rise the editor-in-chief of upatchesf' lt was baclt in those good old days that .lean Burlce and Hslceetsu Kelly began their daily visits to Mr. Otis' room. frlwhat man never loses his charmlj Time moved on to our sophomore year. We ploughed about amid a mass of King Arthurs heroic deedsj geometry theorems, crushes on seniors and World lnstitutions. Year number two in the Hworld of higher learningu saw the budding of our class athlete, Hslatsn Thomas, not to mention our glama- zons, Denise DeVeaux, Pat Mccartie and Pat Rear- don. One bright fall morning the class of '46 awolce to a startling revelation. We were upperclassmenll Somehow we can't thinlc of our junior year without recalling those riotous health classes, made even more hysterical by the humor UD of AI Dreyfus. And our junior class meetings, when poor Joy tried to sell anything from chocolate bars to Woodmere Beanies - and succeeded, tool The real highlight of our junior year was UOne Mad Night, when Mr. Boyd un- earthed our class Bernhardts and Barrymores. Some of the Hgrammar school gangn arerstill Hohhing and ahhingu over that spectacular lciss, when George Levine proved his worth as a Junior Cassanova. Nor shall we forget Jesse Margolirfs great faux pas of the evening, when he gently patted his powdered hair and caused a cloud of Mrs. Boydls best calce Hour to go lloating about the stage, much to the amusement of the audience. So. with a sigh and a giggle, we mounted the final step of Woodmere's ladder. After dreaming, hoping, praying and fearing for three years, the worst for the bestl was finally realized. We were SENIORSI lmmediately our noses were lifted. We tallied to Miss Van without qualcing with fear. We dared to eat lollypops in class. To tell all the fun that was crammed into those last ten months would be impossible. We welcomed Phil Crane to our midst, blue eyes and all, and discovered that he loved to play with the bells on typewriters. We ate hamburgers and ice cream on the stage, while rehearsing for our senior play. Norma Rashba was elected waitress because she always brought the food baclc hot, or cold, as the case may be. fNote of ex- planation: the hamburgers were cold, and the ice cream was hot, of course., At Joanys cast party Dolly Olswang was voted our champion jitterbugger. lvlost Woodmerites thought the lR.C. was composed ol' intelligent students, till they heard of the escapade of that club on the Staten lsland Ferry at i:OO A.lVl.l The sight of Henry Powsner whistling for a subway will long remain in the minds of the Hterrible twelve who made the journey. A familiar sight to most ol' the school are the girls of the fourth year Latin class who malce their way to Mrs. Kieltyls room each day. Though the class was larger, when it started four years ago, things are still the same . . . Grace is always wrong, Carolyn is always tallcing, Lynn is always smart, Nancy always does the homeworlc, and .loan Harris is always supplying the gum. As this hoolc goes to press, the plans for our Seniorama are being formulated, tall: of the prom is starting and we realize, with a jolt, that graduation is almost upon us. Sud- denly the superficial gayiety is swept away by a wave of grim realization, The lun, the carefreeness, all that is symbolic of high school is over. And as the curtain is about to be drawn on the best four years of our lives, all our hearts can say but one thing, Thanks for everything, Woodmere, and God bless you.
