As she furiously gestured with her hankie and precociously tossed her head, Inez Schumann Hie Haec Hoc, Mr s.

Goes <"<"Over Top" On Quota; Carnival Activities Well-Organized Hunter's first real G.O. project in fotir years finally materialized May 24. From 1 p .m. to 4 p.m., eager Hunterites ran from floor to floor trying to see everything at once. Walking through the halls were such unusual characters as "cig- arette girls" from the Cinema Club, who sold ballots to determine ·Valiant Faculty Plays Students by Esther Gordon The gym was packed! Wa s it any wonder ? H unterites at last had · a chance to see girls of their own status, pupils, turn the tables and chal- lenge the teachers. Yes , the A.A. had cha ll enged the faculty to a volleyball game, and the teachers had accepted, little knowing what was in 5 tore for them, Hun ter's favorite actor and actress; Topsy and Rowena, advertising the Literary Club; and the always-wel- come girls who sold food-everything and anything, fr em pickles and pret- zels .to ice cream and soda, The Phy- sics Club's "Hm Dog Heaven" also travelled a ll over the school with a mu stard pot. Way up on t he sixth floor, the Ger- man CIUlb ce .ndl! cted ·two games. " Han s, " an .enormous creature with a gaping mouth hung nea.r one wall, and "ate" the bean bags the girls tried to throw into it. The other game co nsisted of knocking clubs ov er wi.th a volleyball. The French Club presented a Recital of French SeJlgs in 614. At the Art Clu'b exhibition, on the fifth floor, the beauties of Hunter had pOrtraits and caricat ur es drawn by their most talented schoolmates. The H unter Forum heatedly debated the Th e fa cuity's first di fficulty wa s getting into the gym itself. Some dr essed in sh ort s, and others dressed in gym suits (Miss Renda came as a house-painter) , Th e ticket-taker, not res:e.gnizing her august instructors, demanded tickets. Upon establi shing their identity, however, the faculty l)layelJ were by th e commem, "J thought they were stu- dents." Once in side, the were pre- sented with booklets, which the A.A. 'had thoughtfully provided, explaining the art of playing volleyba ll. They contained such helpful suggestions as "The object of the game is to get the ball ov er the ne't", "Please don't hit the ball with your head", and "The idea is to hit the ball not to catch it!" No sooner was peace and quiet estab- li shed than A.A.'s cheering squad marched in, with Laura Ka llman and Ba rbar a Bronson in the lead, support- ing a pot in which to "boil 'em in oi l." The squad then gave a cheer for the teachers, ur ging them to "fight fierce- ly," pr-es: ir: g J ]ll est ion, their hair long ?" Room 503 transformed into an airpc.rt, as am- bi tious gir ls tri ed to pin darts ' on ainplanes tacked on the wall, or knock Ruth Gra-benheimer, A.A. President, announced the members of the teams. The teachers playing were: Miss Aqui- lera, Miss Benedix, 'Mis's Bur stein, Miss Geddes, 'Miss Ma rr ico, Miss .Ren- da, Miss Russ, Mrs. Simon, Miss Tur- ner, and Miss Wahl. Ja ckie Brookes, Gloria Bullock, Vivian l? urk e, Helen Gi ll en, Dottie Gwon, Gerry Hurley-, Elaine Jackson, Alice Newhouse, Mad- eleine Smith, and Evelyn Snell made up the A.A, team. Helen Gi llen, Secretary- Treasurer of A.A., served as captai· n. Ruth Grabenheimer "reffed" the game, with the assistance of Arden Brown. The game once under way, you cer- tainly couldn't hea.r a ten-ton truck drop, much less the proverbial pin, as the spectators yelled cheers and jeers. When ·Miss Russ, Hunter's T exan history teache r, stepped up to serve, one brilliant group conceived a plan of singing " The Eyes of Texas ' Are Upon You"; they did so ... lustily. Certain faculty members must surely be looking forward to end-terms and retribution! Although the teachers were "in the re pitching'" the more experienced A.'A. team did win by a score of 41-15. Better 'luck next time, teachers! over planes from a ta-ble with a ball. On the floor 'below, the "Dove of Peace" that the I.R.C had prepared to pin on a chart of the U.N , by fo.ur o'clock had disintegrated into a mere thumbtack. The Astronomy Club had a rockets game, On the third floor, the Lit erary Club sponsored a game that couldn't be won, The had not only to know the author who created the . character whose name was on a clothes- pin, 'but also had to be skilled enough to drop the clothespin into a milk- bottle.

C ,-£-: The Cinema Club's "Holly,wood Ba- zaar" conducted a penny-pitch in g game, a,t which it seems the faculty was more adept than the girls. Safely distant from them in room 211, the Biology mice ran imo the sink instead of to their race track, and almost cQmmitted suicide by falling to the floor. By the end of -the' after- noon, the mi ce were so tired t hat in the midst of their last race, three of them "called it quits" and only one ran to the finish. Th e fi. rst floor was devoted to the- atrical productions. In room 111 the Spanish Oub gave an original ver- sion , of "Sleeping Beauty," called "Beauty From Castille" and the Fac- ul,ty and Dramatic Clubs used the auditorium for their superlative shows.

    In , Conclusion This past term, Hunter's G.O. has been not

    only a more popular and democratic student gov-ernment than ever before, but has also coordinated student activity by placing some of the control of the ·G.O. project previously delegated to a small G.O:-elected committee directly in the hands of those groups in the school desiring to partici-pate.~ In addition, the G.O. Council has considered more amendments this term than in the two pre-vious terms combined, and thus has shown a sin-cere desire to eliminate grievances, at the same

    -.:» ; ~;re-~~.nonslrating the flexibility of the Consti-tution.

    the G.O.'s crowning achi"evement is the suc-cessful completion of its first real project since ' tl'te beginning of the war. The full cooperation 'H unterites have given in the various collections held throughout the school, in the common cause of helping less fortunate students across the sea, is proof of the growing significance of the G.O. to the. individual Hunterite.

    JAuch of the G.O.'s success this term has been brought ·about by the efficient and untiring lead-ership of the G.O. officers, who through their time, effort, and ability have made this term a truly wonderful one.

    These achievements are representative of what can be done; they provide a solid foundation for future plans.

    All This Although distraught by the mere thought of

    end-terms and Regents, we leave our hooks long enough to dream about the wonderful long ' days of pleasure that await us, whether we remain in the city for the summer vacation or not.· We leave our books long enough to think of lying in the corner bunk at camp, wide-eyed and breath-less, ' counting stars in ' the very early morning; to see the tall, proud waves glisten in the sun for a short, tremulous moment before crashing into frothy surf; to feel the warm, wet sand yield gently as we walk along the shore.

    .'-- '-

    The city too holds its store of memories: the sheer joy of walking, carefree, along city streets in the glare of, mid-morning, of spending quiet afternoons sun-bathing on the roof. We re-member the thrill of sitting under the stars in Central Park, listening to concerts; the fun of G.O. Summer Committee meetings; the feeling of well-being as we sit in the park, reading, u~disturbed but for the gentle breeze tugging at the page corners.

    \. Wonderful days are before us!

    WHAT'S WHAT

    Dramatic Club Members Stage Skits At Carnival

    by' Ruth Herzberg

    For the Carnival on May 24, the Dramatic Club presented a series of short comedy skits, the purpose of which was to give as many girls as possible an opportunity to act and direct.

    Carolyn ' Calvert directed the first skit, Golden Wedding, the cast-including Barbara Davidson, Sylvia Samquist, and Cynthia Ham-mond. Barbara and Sylvia played the parts of Grandma and Grandpa on the day of their golden wedding an-ni versary and Cynthia' played the part of their grand-daughter. Grandma's powdered hair and grandpa's beard and mustache ' made a most striking picture.

    The second skit, entitled Childish Prattle and directed by Joan Dubrow, ;pictured the usual "Ii ttIe brother trouble," when big sister's boyfriend pays a visit. Norma Exler in up-sweep hair-do and earrings played the part of the nervous mother and Mir-iam Sandberg, the daughter. Jackie Brookes was the handsome man, com- • plete with suit, tie, and moustache. Marion Rosenbaum, as the mischiev-ic.us little brother, brought the house down with the surpri se ending of the play.

    A Welcome Reminder, the next skit on the program, pictured an ex-tremely fo,rgetful boy who was trying to cu re 'himself by means of a memory course. The part of the boy, who even forgot to eat break;fast, was played by Jeanne Silver, and Judy Baron acted the part of his sister. Joyce Litt directed this skit.

    Misinfor11l.ed 'was really a matter of mistaken identi ty in which two girls expressed their honest views about a lady whom they thought deaf. The supposedly deaf lady was played by Lucille Richmond, while Ann Antul-10 and Irma Robbins were the two girls. Phyllis Falchook directed.

    'W'qat happens when three girls live together and decide to wear each othe,r's clothes was the plot of What Price Roo1nlll.ates, directed by Corrine Fennel. Mona Laubheill) played the part of the poor young girl, who in bathrobe and slippers was making a frantk sear,ch for her raincoat. Robi-nette Nixon, ,and Annette Littman,

    , played the, parts of the unsympathetic roomates.

    The last skit, N o Visitors Allowed, had a perfect surprise ending. Two gi rls who came to a hospital so anxi-ous to see an injured high school foot-ball star that they pretended to be his ;isters were Celia .Spiro and Marcia Polak. Lorraine Shandelow played the nurse. The unexpected ending came when the nurse informed the girls that she was the boy's mother. Th is skit was under the direction of Florence Goodstein.

    'Between the performances the orch-estra played ' numbers hom its reper-toire.

    If you s h 0 u 1 d ask Ruth Graben-heimer what she is most afraid of los-ing, her a n s we r would not be the conventional "a r -ticle of sentimental value", but "my history notes." This term's A.A. Presi-dent declares that

    she has "slaved" over them for so long that she considers them a part 'Of her, and a great deal more valu-ahle than her life!

    History notes, however, are not the only targets of Ruth(e's dri ving energy. Most of it has been directed toward the A.A., tennis; and photography; in fact, because she hates to see a job

    le·ft unfinished, wlhatever she does !'e-

    ceive·s the same houndless enthusiasm.

    "Grabby" c'Olleds both stamps and

    charms, adding the latter items to a

    bracelet she received for her s1xteenth

    ·birthday. She wishes that more girls

    would participate .in extra-curricular

    activi,ties so that they might enjoy

    them as she does. After graduation

    this June, Ruth will go either to

    Queens College or Cornell Unive.rsi.ty

    I where she will maj'Or in math.

    We all agree that Ruth has not only

    the A.A. (athletic aptitude) of a good

    Hunteri>te, bu! also the A.B.C.'s: abil-

    ity, brains, and character.

    JANE THOMSON The curtain rises,

    and a slim, attrac-tive bl'Onde cap-tures he? audience. Jane Thomson is at home either be-hind the footlights or presiding over a meeting of the Dra-matic Club; she plays her part as Student M e m b e r

    of the Board 'Of Govern'Ors with as much poise and talent as she plays her stage roles.

    Presence of mind is a requi site of a good actress, and Jane certainly showed it during the Senior Day play! When her baby's head dropped off, she did not yield to any of the emotions that might have ·overcome a mother of less stern stuff, but calmly, almost philosol>hically, replaced it.

    Jane's fondest dream, besides, of course, being accepted hy Cornell Uni-vers ity, is to see the G.O. win a G.O.-A.A. basketball game.

    In spite of the fact that she looks as fragile as a Dresden figurine, Jane is an enthusiastic athlete, her special-ties being swimming and basketball.

    Jane was cast in another role re-cently, for the Senior Class voted her the "Girl Most Likely to Succeed." Her term knows well her sincere manner, common sense, and efficiency.

    So take a curtain call, Jane Thom-son, as we join your little sis ter class, and your other fans, in wishing you the best of luck.

    ABOUT BOOKS

    My Three Years With Eisenhower,

    the, story of Ike Eisenhower, told by

    Harry Butcher, his constant compan-

    ion, ~rsonal friend and military aide,

    gives the reader an opportunity to be-

    come acquainted with the general as he rose from an unknown staff office~ to Allied Commander-in"Chief.

    Butcher, who probably has tl;e dis-tinction of being the first " naval aide" on .the staff of an army general, did little "naval aiding"; his jobs ranged from acting as Public Relations Offi-cer, censor, and conlidant ·to losing in . golf, and even at cards to "Ike". Mt . Butcher's book deals with such important affairs as Eisenhower's ar-guments with Churchill and the British High Staff, and his informal meetings ' with General Patton and Clark. The biography includes such details as the gJeneral's love for dogs and western novels, and his nonchalance at the proposed meeting with Geo,rge Bern-ard . Shaw.

    Everyone who was anyone, at one time or another visi ted E isenh0'wer. The V.I.P:s (Very Impor,tant Per-sonages) included Secretary of the Navy Knox, Donald Nelson, James Landis, and Harry Hio.pkins; the V.G.D.I.P:s ( \) were President Roosevel t, Gene.tal Marshall, and Winston Churchill. These, as well as Edward Murrow, Bill Downs, and Ernie Pyle, some of his reporter

    I ' friends, are the pe0'ple who crowd the book's pages. .

    My Three. Years With Eisenhower is fascinatj)1g and noteworthy not be-cause it reveals hitherto unknown facts about the war, or because it is profound writing - for Butcher is no Boswell - 'but because, it shows Eisen-hower as a human, friendly person.

    "Besides getting good weekly pay right from the start-$28 for a five-day week-I'll get frequent increases as I go along. By the end of three months, I'll aver-age $34 a week!"

    "I'm not worrying about • never having bad a job. They'll teach me all I need to know-and I'll get full pay while I learn."

    "An operator's job is the job for me. However, if you think you'd).ike clerical work instead, why not find out about it at the Telephone Company before you graduate. No matter what job you take, it's a good place to work. ~y not talk it over with Mother and Dad today-and then visit the nearest Telephone Company employ-ment office?"
