THE CJLYMPIAN JUNIOR CLASS NQTES The school year began with a great deal of excitement for the Class of 1941, First of all, we sat in the Assembly Hall, directly behind the Seniors, which made us realize that we were juniors at last. Early in the year we had a class meeting to elect officers. The results were: President, Roland Hotte: Vice-President. 'Pete Mantis: Secretary, Ronald Ayotteg Treasurer, ljatricls Cacciapaglia. Later on oui Treasurer moved away and we elected Thelma Saperia to succeed him in this office. VVQ gave the 'Freshmen a hearty wel- l40'I come at the Freshman Reception, which is an annual event. On February 9. we presented the .lunior Play, our first big venture. A ring committee picked out four rings from which the class chose a gold one with a curved stone of black onyx. Vile are very proud of our class rings, which we think are unusual and distinctive. A class meeting was held in February to organize a Vtfashington Club. The officers elected were: President, joe Zoolcq Vice-President, Janet Baillargeong Secretary-Treasurer, Lucille Morris.
