at~s GOOD LUCK FOR END TERMS Official Publi,cation of H unter College High School NEW YORK, N. Y., MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1947 Vol. 54, No.4 City Slickers, Yokels For Day, Pocl{et Prizes At County' Fair Faculty Joins Students In Competitions; Food Ranks First In Students' Tastes After many weeks of preparation, the G.O. County Fair arrived on Friday, May 16. With a wealth of unusual booths and contests, the fair provided entertainment of ,all kinds. A number of clubs ran individual attracti.ons, while terms were represented in the various contests. Faculty members, too, played a large part and some of the most amusirtg and energetic stunts of the day were presented by them. The Biology Club under the supervision of Mrs Florence Sharaga, sponsored a rat race, for which partitioned, screened cages were built. Although food and other stimuli were used to induce the rats to run, they ~emed rather reluctant, but finally, the teinperamental performers gave their show. The Cinema Club showed a fifteenminute cartoon, "Felix in Hollywood" as its part in the project. The comedy was run off twice with Miss Evangeline Trolander, dub .faculty adviser, at the motion picture machine. Rush on Russes The f amoll'S Clla'r 10 tt e R usses 0 f th e _ French Cl,ub sold out in a short time.

J I ?"" at i, Tlle Glee Clu.b presented as its contribution to the County Fair, an adaptation of Victor Herbert's "Naughty Marietta." The orchestra under the direction of Miss Audrey Olsen, opened the production with an ove rture, Victor Herbert selecti ons. The sto ry of the operetta was narrated by H ertha Striker and the part of Marietta was taken, in. turn, by Leila Weinstein, Jacqueline Toulouzan. and Mary Besso, sopranos. Joan Geensberg's singing of the puppeteer's aria was followed by the Marionette Dance 'by Gretchen Fielstra. Adelajde GUlbins accompanied the vocalists at the 1)iano. Everyone who attended the production agreed that the Glee Club and orchestra did a most outstanding job. Mt. Olympus Sold Out "Bacchus Bar," .presented by the Latin Club did such a large volume of business that they were forced to close in little more than a n hour after the County Fair began .for lack of "Nectar", colorful gra1)ejuic.e, and cookies. The History Club presented an ori ginal version of the-old-fashioned hog,calling contest, complete ' with the story of the Three Little Pigs in mural form all around the roo m. The "hogs", three members of the dub, who were dressed in pink flannel creations, responded to the calls o.f the would-be farmers who had come to try their skill as hog<allers. The winner was awarded a large piggy bank. Fact or Fiction? The Literary Club, ,on a new tangen t, told fortunes in four different ways: through Gypsy palm reading, handwriting analyses, "Delphic Oracle" consultations, and Chinese ,stick-plucking. The mos t popular was the "Del,phic Oracle". The Nlewman i(Jub sold jelly apples to the first-comers One hundred, the complete stock, of the popular taffy apples were soon bought. The so<alled "in~betweens" displayed their long-hidden talents in Room 219 where the weirdest of all contest.s took place. Under the title of "Missing Links", the costumed creatures (?) were intrq<iuced by Martha Fontek who defined rhe Missing Links as "c.reations that are midway between man and beast." The girls, giving interpretations of the M i.ssing Links, which included several animals, a nightmare, and an evil woman, entertained the audience by describing themselves to the tune of "Tah - l;'ah - rah - boom - dee - ay". The fourth term, represented b1' Matilda Alouf in the form of a green snake, won the contest as the most hideous and most original "Missing Link". Skill and Endurance "'T~ni~-High term sponsored bo h £ f kill h ' a ot ,or games 0 s ,suc a, the "Wishing Well", consisting of pitching- pennies in to an imitation well. Another attr·action was the ,"Cone Blowing Contes t" which tested the ability to blow a paper cup attached to a string, across the room. Prizes for winners were lollipops. The Eating Cont~st provided an opportunity for ever-h ungry Hunterites to exhibit their ability. Two gi11s from each term .were elected to particiPate in the wiltest which required them to eat sou r cream, chocolate cake (with chopsticks), and Uneeda biscuits. The best at this arduous task were M~rgueri te Plate and Elinor Berkman of the fourth term. Jimmy Specials Sigma's part in the County Fair was the running of a real soda fount,ain at the basem;nt lunch counter. Luscious concoctions, including a sundae called the "Jimmy Special" at thirty cents per, were eagerly bought by ice<ream.hungry Hunthites. What's What also played a part in the fair by selling assorted items of food. Trays of potato chips, chocolate bars; doughnuts and pickles were vended in the halls by .reporters and editors alike, forsaking newsprint for a more County Fair-like pursuit. Represe ntatives of the various clubs, undel' the super vision of the Chairman of Clubs, spent the afternoon selling soda. Teams Compete In Sailor Guise (CONT' D.

Two Programs Vary The Arts Bard At G.O. Fair; Comedy Scores Hit IT he Dramatics Club presented two !performances of a one-act comedy, 'Good Theatre, at the G.O. County Fair. The play was a modern parody of Shakespeare's As Y Ott Like It. Its setting was a street outside a legitimate theatre on Hallowe'en night, where the rein carnated Will Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, played by Jacqueline Brookes and Marilyn Gross, come to view the progress of the theatre. They are di sillusioned to find that the old plot of A s Y all Li/~e It has degenerated into a shabby spectacle entitled, Your Money or Your Wife. The latter is a hit backed by two l,oud-mouthed "dinner jackets", Annette Strobel and Joyce Litt, and plugged by a raucous-voiced cashier played by Norma Exler. Newspaper Staff Selects Editors - .

Now, one week before exams, we find ourselves still looking back delightedly to the County Fair, the assemblies, the G.O. meetings, the dances, the games, and all the things that have become so much a part of Hunter, that the word "extra-curricular" seems not [0 describe them adequately. For a term crammed to capacity with fun and really worthwhi1e;:'activify, we ' vote a hearty '·' thanks" to our fellow students and especially to our G.O. leaders. This term's project far exceI1ed previous ones not only financially - " "bUf' inthe;number.of students that actively participated. The' County Fair had a:1-.lle earmarks of a school undertaking as opposed to some_ thing "strictly G.O." A repetition of the kind of cooperation' and participation that made this project a record-breaker should be heading the list of "musts" for next term's officers. Hide And Seek Would you like ,to save some money? Then take a peek into *that overflowing locker, that Fibber McGee closet, and those convenient junk drawers. Perhaps under a pile of old lunches, last year's hats and the history of your most recent pe'ccadillo (defined as a "slight affair of the heart") you may chance upon Thomas and alamm,. Tanner's Gra11-mtar, and Dull's Physics. Your long-lost green or blue friend, the cause of so' many "unprepared marks," may have "!Jeen resting in the gym's Lost and Found.

On some dull afternoon when you have nothing better to do, go exploring to evade a shamefaced reply to the semi-annual question, "At what cost did you get your report card?" Pattern Far Fun For us, the summer vacation is truly "the illumInation of the darker side of our captivity." Free to do almost anything we want, the majority of us will live out of doors as ll11uch as possible. The most active will run across a tennis court after an elusive ball; come up for air firom the ocean's depth only to be ducked again by the oncoming wave; bicycle through the countryside and tramp over mountains; or ride a bucking bronco. Those that go to work camps , will be pi'cking beans, peas, and tomatoes in. the field, or building bridges in the Ozark mountains. The more sedate will feel content to lie on warm sand or to 'Sit in the tool shade -af a large elm tree rereading a favorite book. For campers and ·counsellors alike, moonlight dips or canoeing, songs and ghosts stories around the campfire, will take up the cooler evening hours while square dances and concerts in Central Park will provide good times for city vacationers, especially for those who stay to work. At any rate, all for fun and fun for all will be the motto. We 'Couldn't believe that all one had to do was to walk through a busy kitchen, and up a flight of tortuous stairs, to get into an atmosphere so different from the lushness, glamour and "continentalness" that. were the famous Russian Tearoom down below. Finally we came to t he ·room which is the office of Anatole, ·famous manager of the restaurant "where Music, Art and Ballet Lovers Meet". The room was small, filled with art magazines, "Butchers Advo'Yates", and three data-filled desks, two Ib usy phones, a file marked "Unpaid Bills," and most of all Anatole.
