HIT . . . One windy autumn morning in September, 1941, a group of timid freshmen entered the doors of Braintree High School. We found high school life very different from that of grammar school, but we were able to grin and bear it. In all of our sports, music, and scholastic ability we were one of the most promising classes ever to come to B. H. S. We proved our scholastic ability by having less failures than any other freshman class before us. Our sportsmanship was shown in the football teams which were organized immedi- ately. On December 7, 1941 war was declared on the United States; the follow- ing day we heard President Roosevelt make his formal declar ation of war on Japan. In our freshman year history was made and, with all of our dreams and ambitions before us, we had started on the way toward achieving our goal — winning a name for ourselves at B. H. S. With our goal still in view we started our sophomore year with a bang! With most of our bashfulness gone, we tried to pass on some of our priceless experiences to the poor freshmen. Many new friends were made in the corridors and classrooms with our superiors— the juniors and seniors. At our first class meeting we elected officers: Bill Aumen, president; Chickie Ferguson, vice president; Margie Arnold, secretary; Barbara Dixon, treasurer; Mr. Erwin, class sponsor. That year we were also prominent in both football and hockey. The big event of the year was the Sophomore Social held in the school gymnasium on the evening of February 12. This also proved to be a big success. It was a grand feeling to be upperclassmen. 126 }
