The Race at the Half ROBERT CHIESA I N the fall of 1938, the class of ’41 went into action by nominating candidates for the various offices to be filled. After the battle was over there were four new class officers and one sponsor. Robert C’hiesa, president; Bob Allen, vice presi- dent. Owing to his honesty and integrity Lester Hatch was made treasure]- while Evelyn Mattie was the sole representative of the girls as secretary. Our class sponsor is Mr. Oakman. Sports seem to be the most popular topic in the sophomore class. Many of the boys went out for football — some made good. In football Gerard Clougherty stood head and shoulders above the rest, being the only one to get a letter. Dwight Chandler showed up well. Lennie Caruso was going places when a leg injury stopped him short and Jack Powers was in there all the time. When basketball practice started many sophomores reported — a few of them made the team. The only fair way to name them would be in alphabetical order and so here they are: Paul Cheverie, Ken Goebel, Tom Huleatt, and George Lewalcl. Many other members of the class were gym team or field hockey candidates. At our first class meeting it was decided that it would be necessary to have representatives from the various homerooms meet to decide on class matters. The first and most important thing to be worked out was how to get money for dues out of tight-fisted pockets. In March we ran a dance in the school hall which proved successful even though there was much ado over the admission charge. During the magazine drive the clas s of ’41 did not show to any particular ad- vantage but salvaged a few dollars for the treasury. In the spring many sophomores reported for baseball and track — many of them going right to the top. Even though the class had an eventful year, everyone was glad to get out for the summer. ■{ 17 }
