SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IT was an excited group which waited eagerly for the long streamlined bus at the Guiteras Junior High School. This bus was to take the Class of 1937 on a three-year trip through the Colt Memorial High School. The bus arrived and the students happily but nervously boarded it. You see they had heard different stories (a little exaggerated perhaps) of how newcomers were initiated there the first week. Well they were, but no one can say that even one person in the ’37 Class complained. Then the work began, although the fun wasn't dispensed with. Two members of the class, Ruth Sanford and James Conley, were elected to the Student Council. I ater three others Herman Kemph, Mary Velleca and Robert Tourignev, were elected to the Green and White staff. Many pupils from this class attended the student dances and joined the clubs, among them the Sophomore Commercial Club, tin French Club, and the Sophomore Girls' Liter ary Club. After ten months of study it was time to board the bus ’37 again, this time for a tour to Vacation I-and and then back again to Colt as full fledged Juniors. Now it was the thirty-seveners’ turn to initiate, and initiate they did. as the present Juniors can well remember! The following officers were elected after the return to school: Arthur Manchester, presi- dent; James Conley vice president ; Mary Velleca, secretary; Anthony Iasiello, treasurer; executive board : Elsie Gilroy, chairman, Irving Murray, John Simoes, Ruth Sanford, and Herman Kemph. Mr. Burke was class adviser, and a very good one, too. The representatives of this class on the Student Council were Arnold Dryer, Anthony Iasiello, and Arthur Manchester. The Green and White members were Rob ert Tourignev Herman Kemph, Ruth Sanford, James Conley. Arnold Dryer, and Mary Velleca. That year the Junior Promenade was held on June 5. It was a never-to-be-forgotten night, and the colorful figures in the beautiful auditorium at Colt made a never-to-be-forgotten picture. At least, they did to the thirty-sev-eners. After the final exams—that was where the road was quite lumpy—they again rode in their streamlined bus to the Land of Relaxation where they stayed for two months. That was the last vacation from Colt they were to hav and many of the students returned to scho.,1 with heavy hearts because of that fact. Officers were elected again: Robert Touirg-nev, president; Herman Kemph, vice president; Mary Velleca secretary; James Conley, treasurer; executive board: Elsie Gilroy chairman; Antoinette Rucci, Vernon Gray, Arthur Manchester, and Irving Murray. Two operettas, “Tune In,” and “The Magazine Princess” were successfully staged that last year in high school, and thoughts wen finally turned to graduation. Pictures were taken, Class Day officers were chosen; plans for the Senior Reception were made. The Reception—that was the very last time the thirty seveners would be together as a group. Well, we shall leave them there in the auditorium. dancing, and not wondering at that moment, perhaps what the future holds in store for them. Let them dance and have a merry time for the night will soon end and tomorrow will come. Tomorrow will come and the thirty seveners will don their travelling suits again, board their wonderful bus for the last time, and drive away—away in the distance to various destinations, leaving the next class to take command.
