May 24th. in the beautiful auditorium of the Colt Memorial High School. Amid soft lights, sweet music, and attractive decorations, the “promenaders” had a dclightul evening, happy memories, which will linger long with members of the Junior Class. The gaiety of the scene was greatly enhanced by the beautiful gowns worn by the very charming Junior members and guests. Leading the grand march were Peter Alfano, president of the class, and Miss Elsie Weaver, secretary; followed by William McCarthy vice president, and Ruth Tattrie member of the executive board, who in turn were followed by Thomas Van Voast, treasurer, and Frances Capone, chairman. During the evening, refreshments were served and dancing was enjoyed to the music of Joe McPhillips’ orchestra until twelve o’clock. The success of the Junior Prom was due to the efficient work of the executive committee composed of Miss Frances Capone, chairman; Miss Ruth Tattrie, William Sisson, William Simmons and Thomas Byrnes. The members of the Class of 1936 are deeply indebted to their advisor, Mr. Burke, who assisted them sagaciously. ROSE FORMISANO, 35. GREEN mndL WMl 17

SPORTS FOOTBALL Coach—Mr. Walker. Assistant Coach—Mr. Carlson. Captain—Domcnic Capone. Manager—Joseph Perella. The football season came and went, came with prospects, practice and predictions—went in a blaze of glory, not for Colt but for South Kingstown, the champions. Colt was handicapped by an almost totally Inexperienced team, Captain Capone being the only veteran from last year’s eleven. The team faced vastly superior opponents. After losing all five of the Class B games Colt faced Case High of Swansea, Massachusetts, a team that had tied the powerful Warren eleven at 0-0. Our team played like champions and after holding the strong Case team on even terms for three-quarters, we were able to score the first touchdown of the game and our first touchdown of the year—“Rubin” Russo’s magnificent run and Capone’s pass to Alfano for the touchdown. “Pip” Securo snatched Capone’s pass over the goal line for the extra point. Final score 7-0. Thus a little glory was injected into an otherwise colorless season.

Captain—Joe Bruno. Manager—Alfred La Rue. The valiant basketball team is deserving of great praise for the fine showing made throughout the season. The team was a runner up for a position in the Class B playoffs until the final Class B game with South Kingstown which proved that a Colt team is both a good loser and a good winner. At the beginning of the season Coach Walker was confronted with the problem of building a new team as Captain Joe Bruno was the only veteran from last year’s five. Mr. Walker certainly ought to be congratulated for the remarkable team work and cooperation displayed by the five. At the close of the season. Coach Walker showed his appreciation by inviting the team to his home for a spaghetti supper, which was followed by attending the South Kingstown-Pawtucket championship finals, in which Pawtucket was the victor.
