CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR-1945-1946 On a bright September day 'way back in 1945, sixty-three eager-eyed boys and girls entered the halls of Bloomfield High School to become the new Fresh- men. We, the members of the Class of '49, admit it was we who wandered about that first day trying to find Room 13. What a hectic time we had-trying to get to classes on time, decipher our schedule, and get used to the new rules. How we envied the con- fidence of the mightv Seniors! Their self-assurance was the secret goal of all of us. It wasn't long before we had a class meeting. We were called to order on October 10 for the pur- pose of electing our class ofiicers. Jimmy Ventres was elected President, Joan Flynn, Vice-President, Elaine Quavillon, Secretary, and Pete Humphrey, Treasurer. At our next meeting, we decided to send flowers to Elaine Ferraresso, who was ill and confined to bed. On the 28th of the month, an Acquaintance Party was held so that we could get to know each other. A few weeks later we presented a Meet the Freshmen program, in which we introduced our oflicers and class talent to the upperclassmen. One of the high points of the program was the skit between Pete Marshall and William Scully. Pete Humphrey composed the song, Here Come the Freshmen , which was used as our theme. Four of our group with dramatic talent pre- sented a Christmas play on December 21. They were Ingegerd Larson, Pat DeWitt, Albert Neuhauser, and Virginia Bentley. We Frosh also had fun at our Valentine's Day party which featured a Valentine Hunt. The win- ners, Virginia Bentley and Bob Jorgensen, were crowned King and Queen Valentine. Our annual dance, carried out in a St. Patrick's Day theme, was a great success. The hall was appropriately decorated with green and white stream- ers and shamrocks. Music was provided by Baker's Cavaliers. And so, with the help of Miss Zabriskie, our able and competent adviser, we close the book on an unforgettable Freshman year. SOPHOMORE YEAR-1946-1947 After a summer vacation that seemed to pass too quickly, we settled down to being Sophomores, a title far more dignified than Freshmen , At our first class meeting, which took place Sep- tember 24, we elected our class ofiicers. Chosen to lead our class this year were: Bob Jorgensen, Presi- dent, Jim Ventres, Vice-President, Joan Flynn, Secre- tary, and William Scully, Treasurer. One of the first social events of the year was the Sophomore Hop . Our dance carried out the har- vest-time theme. The decorations followed the pat- tern of cornstalks, pumpkins, and harvest moons, with green and orange crepe-paper streamers. To culminate our study of wild life, the Sopho- more Biology Class embarked on a trip to Forest Park, in Springfield. Guided by Mr. Sperl, we took in many sights, including a huge black water buffalo that charged against the fence and nearly frightened us to death. We spent the day there, enjoying the humorous antics of the lively monkeys, the bright colors of the tropical birds, and the hot dogs and sodas at the adjoining luncheonette. We tiredly climbed aboard the waiting school bus, and headed for home, B. H. S. Early in December the homemaking class was invited to a fashion show at Windsor High School. Upon return, they talked of nothing but their pros- pective fall wardrobes. Our class was well represented in the various school activities. For example, Joan Nicolle, Jimmy Ventres, and Bob Jorgensen were on the Student Council. Joan Flynn and Judy Tull were on the SALMON SHEET staff. Elaine Quavillon, Ann Faulk- ner, Herbert Holmquist, and Joan Flynn were in the Dramatic Club. Soccer lettermen included Bob Jor- gensen, Chris Webber, Osburn Harrison, Jimmy Ventres, and Donald Keene. Our basketball stars were John Novak, Pete Marshall, Harry Stepanick, Bob Jorgensen, Chris Webber, Roger Cowles, and Albert Neuhauser, Baseball claimed John Novak, Chris Webber, Jimmy Ventres, and Bob Jorgensen. We even had one cheerleader, Elaine Quavillon, JUNIOR YEAR-1947-1948 The summer passed on wings, and before we could say B, H. S. we were back to our friends and activities. The first meeting of the Junior Class took place on September 25. The oflicers that we subse- quently elected were Pete Marshall, President, Chris Webber, Vice-President, Joan Flynn, Secretary, John Novak, Treasurer. Our first activity of the year was the Harvest Moon Dance , which was held on October 30 in the high school auditorium. The hall was decorated repre- senting a farm in the Fall. Cider, soda, and dough- nuts were served. And, of course, everyone had a good time. The Junior Ring Committee, consisting of Alfred Forster, William Willis, William Slamon, Herbert Holmquist, Elaine Quavillon, Julia Wirsul, Joan Nicolle, and Janet Burnham chose six rings from the salesmen who came to Bloomfield. We then voted on these and chose a beautiful design called the Empire . Early in the new year, members were inducted into the Honor Society. Those from the Junior Class were Ingegerd Larson, Nora I.eHane, Cynthia Bar-
