W Ralph Quirk, Vice-president and Barbara Hartley, Secretary With St. Patty's Day coming around with the wearin' of the green, a St. Patrick's Dance was planned. There was a large turnout and the Stars again showed what could be done. Then, as a final activity, the Iunior Prom, An Evening in Paris, was given to the departing Seniors as a farewell gesture. Everyone said the prom of '46 was one of the most successful proms presented in the high school. It showed that a lot of planning and work was put into it by the students. Now is as good a time as any to say that the prom would not have been what it was without the many hours of work 'and worry on the part of Mrs. Bitter, to whom we are all grateful and extend our sincere thanks. She has led us through many trials and tribulations, so we say, Our hats off to you, Mrs. Bitter. Being just small satellites, the class of '47 began to send off a brighter light as it neared its final goal. Since the Iunior year was rough going, the class elected the same officers to lead the class through the last days of the journey through the heavens. The first money making project was the Christmas Card sale. The for- mer magazine drive proved the class had super salesmen and, like a speeding meteor zooming to the earth, they zoomed to another lUU !o project. After the Thanksgiving football game and an adequate supply of turkey and all the fixins, a Thanksgiving Dance was held. The Continentals sup- plied the music and gave out with some starry-eyed melodies. The decoration committee did a fine job of decorating. Pennants were suspended around the gym from cord and the scores of the present.season's games were posted. Large, colorful, folding balloons were suspended from the ceiling. The dance proved to be well worth the time and effort put into it. A shooting star and a candy box were seen frequently throughout the school. Candy selling was another project, which was by no means, a failure. Last, but not least, on the calendar of events, the class was recognized as Thespians after their star performance of Stranger in the Night. The play was ably directed by Miss Thompson and Miss Pettry. The members are looking forward to the class trip to Washington and, with a hesitating air, toward Baccalaureate Services and Graduation Night. The class son was written b Hilda Green and Gl d s Brow g y a y n. Our motto we leave as a word of advice and last tribute to the follow- ers of the stars.

once, make the most of it. CLASS IIISTOIlY The Stars began the four year fourney by electing Howard Evans as president, Iimmy Kapp as vice president, Ioanne Hitchner as secretary, and Iune Kem as treasurer. The first endeavor was a movie benefit. The committee chose What a Woman starring Rosalind Russell. Despite being new at this sort of thing, the class found its efforts well worth while. With much planning and help from. their North Stars the first dance, The Freshman Frolic, was put over with a bang. The Stars, after they were fully acquainted with their scholastic en- vironment, had a successful sophomore year. They decided to start anew by electing as their leaders Iimmy Kapp, president, Ralph Quirk, vice president with Ioanne Hitchner and George Wright as secretary and treasurer re- spectively. Haley's Comet came forth with The Adventures of Mark Twain which was chosen as a movie benefit. ln order to prove initiative and present constructive ideas, two successful dances, namely, the Sophomore Hop and a Football Dance in honor of a successful football season were sponsored. The class, although amateurs in the field of drama, presented a one-act play to their fellow students. Crime Does Not Pay brought out the talents of many of the class members. The play was well worth the practice and proved advantageous as the Stars traveled onward. Looking through the telescope, we see coming into view a successful third year. The Stars soared upward by electing Zakie Zakarian, president, Ralph Quirk, vice-president, Barbara Hartley, secretary, and Ianette Harris, treasurer. Pillow to Post was the title of a movie benefit. The Stars busied themselves selling writing paper, postal cards and name labels. The project was a Bang-up. Ah! Men. What a play! It was presented by the Comets on March the seventh. The play was ably directed by Miss Arinsberg and Miss Bolmer. The cast worked hard and did a fine job. The scene of the play took place in the home of Susan Betsford, the part of Susan being capably played by lean Barton. The play soared through time about a hundred years to the year 2050. The scenery was extremely modern. The women, who efficiently managed the government, proved efficient and strong. The men though subservient in the beginning, turned the tables and were fine examples of masculinity. Each time in life comes but Ianette Harris, Treasurer and Zakie Zakarian, President
