THE CLASS RECORD At the sound of the corridor bell on September 6, 1939, we started the first lap of our race for knowledge. We were then full-fledged freshmen. That was the year we did our homework so faithfully; Freshman Year when everything was new and strange; when we stood in awe of all our teachers. Didn’t we have our own Freshman football team and cheer leaders? And what about the chorus and gym and basketball teams? They made a good start toward the winning of our race. Well do we remember that day in February when we went to school in the sunshine, only to return home at five o’clock ankle deep in snow. Yes, that was the year of the Valentine’s Day blizzard which gave us practically two week’s vacation instead of one. With the coming of June we had rounded the corner of the first lap of our race and . . . a new sophomore took the baton for the second year at Braintre High, a tought but beara ble year. We experienced for the first time the real duties and troubles, as well as the joys, of an upperclassman. Sophomore Year The football team as usual had little effect save to beat the freshmen. In early January the first class meeting was held. The sophomores pulled themselves together for the hard press ahead. We gave some aid to the juniors ahead of us with the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance.” Dashing across the finish line of the second lap, . . . we breathlessly entered the third and important lap of our race for knowledge by getting together and drumming up our class officers. We wanted go-getters with lots of punch, so Bob Bewley, Bob Junior Year Thompson, Faith • Gambino, and Mary Jane Carty were ele- vated to the spots of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Having done this, we went excitedly and gloriously on with our school activities. Of course we sold Christmas cards and, with our usual vibrant spirit, almost beat the seniors. Remember the Oral English play? It was rumored it was one of the best ever staged in our school. “Little 125 }•
