6 T II E ADDRESS OF WELCOME SASSAMON CLASS DAY Parents, Teachers and Friends: As President t the Class of 1941, I am very happy to welcome you this morning to these our Class Day exercises. At this time when we are assemhled here to take part in one of the last ceremonies of our class as a whole, we wish to express our deepest gratitude to you parents and teachers for your patience and generosity in guiding and directing us so far. e hope that we may reward you by being a credit to you in the years to come. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1941 Twelve years have past, twelve eventful years during which we have been constantly readjusting ourselves to changes and gradually learning how to successfullv combine ' work and play. Now, four days before graduation, which will mark the beginning of that new life, in which we will be free to try our own wings, we pause to look back upon the history of our class. As Sophomores, due to the double session, we were apart from the rest of the school, but were given the privilege of forming a Student Council and Safety Council. This helped to make us feel that we were a unit, that we really belonged. For our officers that year we elected Marjorie Sutherland, President; Jean Culbertson, Vice President; Muriel Church, Secretary; and Marian Cantrel, Treasurer.

Mr. Cronan came to us each morning from Junior High to teach mechanical drawing. The football team made a wonderful showing. Our Turkey Day Game, unlike previous games, was played December 7, just after a heavy snowfall. We were the victors for the second time in five years. In November when the nation was voting for a candidate for the presi- dency of the United States, we were electing as final officers of the class of 1941: Ralph Raphael, President; John Grady, Vice President; Jean McGrath, Secretary; and Alfred Saviano, Treasurer. Assailed by an epidemic in December of our Senior year we were handicapped in many ways. Our football dance was cancelled entirely and basketball games were postponed. In spite of this turn of fate we survived to return to our usual routine. In February, Natick High School was host to
