JUNE CLASS I-IISTCRY Darkness has settled upon G. H. S., enveloping it in a black, foggy shroud. Inside, mutterings and strange murmurs are heard. Suspicious, we come closer and crawl through a window. We have chanced upon the annual meeting of the Memory Club. Each year after the last graduate has departed, the building settles down to apparent peace and quiet. However, as soon as privacy is insured, the rooms awaken and draw forth longfforgotten memories. Each room likes to think itself richest in these priceless treasures, thus, the arguments. Tonight the discussion is concemed with the june Class of 1941. If we walk on tiptoe and keep silent, we shall overhear their conversations. From what we can understand, this class had the unusual distinction of having had three different principals. As shy freshmen, their adviser and friend was Pop Folsom. Through the vicissitudes of sophomore and junior years, they were led by Mr. Shattuck. In their senior year they followed the counsel of Mr. Bella. We are startled by a clear voice, proud and boastful: I have seen the girls at work and at play for four years. Especially well do I remember: Virginia Monty, Betty Moore, Virginia Eldred, Eleanor Hogan, Alice Nunnenkamp, Alice Mayes, Ann Murphy, and Gloria Belmont. Afternoons they played hockey, basket' ball, volleyball, badmin- Suddenly a booming voice interrupts. I also have seen the boys come and go. We sent forth teams full of fight and spirit. Each fall, football teams ran from my locker room, eager and willing. During the '40 season they won the Fairfield County Championship, helped by Don Ash, Pete Dluznieski, joe Halligan, Larry Dudas, and Dick Cunningham. Reluctantly leaving the argument, we creep through the gloomy corridors, until we are stopped by a forceful voice calling out: During junior year, the National Honor Society was granted a charter in G. H. S., and twelve members of the class were initiated: Elly Ahnert, Donald Ash, Robert Bonaparte, Catherine Davis, Lois Faulkner, Carolyn jackson, Betty Landis, Alice Mayes, Betty Moore, Alice Nunnenkamp, Frank Palmatier, and Miriam Walsh. In their senior year twelve more were selected: Pearl Baker, Mary Ann Beiser, Virginia Eldred, Josephine Koziel, Antoinette Letta, Arthur McElfresh, Florence Okerman, Virginia Stevenson, Virginia Tedeschi, Gerda Thorenz, Evelyn Victor, and Frances Witewskif' Down the hall we hear: I have observed their earliest efforts at acting. In their junior year they suddenly rose and took important roles in the plays, 'It Can't Happen Here' and 'If I Were King' During their senior year they excelled in 'What a Life,' and 'The Thirteenth Chairf This class contributed to the ranks of the National Thespians such outstanding actors and actresses as Gordon Hale, Mary Thiel, Betty Moore, Jack Pearl, Howe Morris, Henry Zieba, Bill Taylor, Charles Emerson, and Leonard Ashinf' In another room, elections are being discussed. Do you remember their junior year when Dick Slater was President, Peter Dluznieski, Vice President, Don Ash, Secretary'Treasurerg and john McDonnell and Don Ash, G. O. Representatives? Yes, and during senior year the popoular Don Ash was elected Presidentg Miriam Walsh, Vice President, Justine Arata, Secretary, Bob Barnes, Treasurer, and Henry Zieba and Joe Halligan, G. O. Representatives. Once more the rumbling voice of the gym: They called the junior Prom, 'The Stardust Prom'. Dancing beneath a canopy of twinkling, silvery stars- Gradually the talk becomes softer until finally words are scarcely audible. As we again crawl through the window, more slowly this time, our minds are filled with thoughts of this class. People will contend that inanimate objects have no emotions. We know, however, that our redfbrick edifice will always cherish memories of the illustrious Class of june, 1941. I7-31
