CU Jfistor On a bright, clear morning in the year 1939, we the class of ’42 found ourselves entering the Berlin High School as freshmen. Confused groups of boys and girls scampered around the build- ing looking for the proper rooms. Attending assemblies made high school more interesting. Super- intendent Calvin E. Wilcox and teachers guided us on the pathway of success during this year. Our class adviser was Mr. Henry Anderson and assisting him were the following officers: Presi- dent — Harold Corr, Vice President — Robert Werdelin, Secretary — Dora Willet, Treasurer — Mabel Read. The three events which were held, were the Freshmen party, Class Picnic which was held at Lake Compounce, and a Semi-formal held in January. Entering school again in September the class of ’42, now Sophomores, elected their officers with President — Harold Corr, Vice President — Pat Cistaire, Secretary — John Prendergast, Treasurer — Dawn Scott. Mr. Henry Anderson was elected class adviser for the second time. The class activities were the Sophomore Hop, and the Class Picnic was again held at Lake Compounce. Although the weather man provided us with rain everyone had a good time. Arriving as Juniors in 1941, we had a very good idea of what school life signified. More studying and hard work made the class as a whole settle down because the next year would bring us into the outside world. The biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom held in February, which was under the supervision of Miss Mary E. Fowler. The decorations consisted of beautiful flowers, ferns and a wishing well in the center of the auditorium. The officers elected this year were: President — Robert Werdelin, Vice President — Dora Willet, Secretary — Dawn Scott, Treasurers — Arthur Crandall and Harold Corr. Finally we reached the last year of the never to be forgotten school days.” The Senior Class adviser was Mr. Kenneth L. MacKenzie. The class officers were: President - — Robert Werdelin, Vice President — Arthur Crandall, Secretary — Doris Bighinatti and Treasurer — James Fagan. Following the footsteps of graduated classes, a Senior Court was organized. This court was or- ganized for the purpose of having the underclass men” realize the Seniors’ privileges. Arthur Crandall served as the Judge and the class as the jury. Some of the judgments handed down were scrubbing the Senior Walk, washing boards, and washing windows. The Senior Card Party and Fashion show, sponsored by Raphael’s Department Store, proved a great success with the cooperation of the class and the leadership of the outstanding committees. Our two senior models were Dorothy Emery and Wanda Stepanik. In March our class combined with the Berlin Choral Society and the High School chorus to present a concert in the New Britain Senior High School Auditorium. Robert Weede, Metropolitan Opera Star, was the guest soloist. Our Senior Class play came in April. Skidding was performed and was very successful. Last but not least, we held the biggest social event of the school year; the Senior Ball. James Fagan was chairman, the decorations were beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time. This ended the social events of our fourth year. These four years will never fade from our memories and we shall not regret anything that has been done to make these years happy and successful. We leave Berlin High School with a feeling of gratitude toward those who made our stay here both profitable and enjoyable. Jane Goodrich Ines Carsonico
