JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY President-Raynor Coloumbe Vice President-4Norman Dunn Secretary-Doris McGinty Treasurer--William Jackson Student Council-David Crowell Advisor-John J. Assis In the fall of 1938 a very timid group of Freshmen entered, the portals of Central Falls High School. As the year progressed, however, the timidness wore off and we began to feel more at home. There was no class organization until our second year when the first event for which we were responsible was the Sopohomore- Social. This event was a success in every way. At last the long awaited time came. We were Juniors and upper c1assmen . Our first step was the organization of the classy next, the laying of plans for the Junior Frolic, the forerunner to the dream of every Junior-the Prom. Both the Frolic and the Prom were socially a success, and were the greatest financial successes in a number of years. The last activity of the Junior year was the entertaining and humorous play, Stream- lined Sue. And now the Junior Class closes its door on a very successful year and looks forward to occupying the places left vacant by the class of '41, We will try to deserve the dignified. title of Senior. RUTH BEAVEN WALTER LADA SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY President--Raymond LaPlante Vice-President-Louis Poutre Secretary-Mabel Thornton Treasurer-Samuel Shmaruk Student Council--John Kubiski Faculty Adviser-Mr. James Morgan The class of 1943 is a talented and resourceful group. Among the class officers we find a youth who has distinguished himself in the fields of football and basketballg a number of other Sophomores responded to the call of the athletic coaches and showed fine ability and willingness to cooperate. Another group showed their dramatic abilities in a play given at assemblyg three others were elected to the Student Councilg and a large number of Sopho- mores make the Honor Roll each quarter. After reviewing all our abilities, we are inclined to say that the Sophomore Class shows great promise. May the teachers be as proud of the class of '43 as they are of the present graduating class.

ATHLETICS Football-Central Falls was represented in the newly formed Eastern Di- vision of Class B by an aggressive, Veteran team. Despite the lack of material, Coach Landry, in his second year at the helm, moulded an eleven whose strong bid for the championship fell short by the smallest of margins, and whose play throughout the campaign left little to be desired. Among the brighest stars of the squad were several seniors: Boardman, Steere, Dzierzyc, Sherry, Kenny and Moore. Although outplaying our opponents, a last minute Classical drive turned apparent victory into defeat by a single point in our first game. Such an unfort- unate beginning failed to dim the team's spirit and it bounced back to win five out of the remaining seven games. The most notable of these 'victories were those registered over St. Raphael and Westerly. The St. Raphael victory was especially significant as it broke a string of five years without a triumph over our arch-rival. Basketball-For the first time in several years Central Falls had an inexperi- enced squad due to the graduation of former luminaries. What we may have lacked in experience, however, was made up in speed and determination. The team played as a unit all the way through and although hampered by a poor start. a strong finish carried it to the top of its respective division. Kaplan and Steere finished up their high school careers by making their last season their best. The playoffs for the divisional crown, which followed immediately on the heels of the gruelling schedule, found our athletes too tired to put up their usual fight, al- though what fight they did present was worthy of a better fate. Most brilliant of the victories were those over Woonsocket, Aldrich, St. Raphael and Westerly. Baseball- With the loss of six regulars from last year's squad we entertain no pennant hopes, although the boys are very enthusiastic and shouldn't be too bad, said Coach Landry prior to the beginning of the '41 schedule. Coach Landry was faced with the difficult task of building up a new infield and pitching staff. In view of the fact that C. F. fielded a team with only three holdovers, the chances of a successful campaign rested on newer faces. But whether our team won or lost Central Falls always put up a strong fight. oiegwfiit T l50l
