4 'I' H Ii S A S S A NI O N ADDRESS OF WELCOME CLASS DAY l,2lI'l'IlIS, 'lieachers and Friends: Un behalf of the Class of I9-I2 I wish to extend to you a most cordial welcome to our Class Uay exercises. We the class of I9-Q, sincerely believe that we are very fortunate in being able to hold these exercises during this National Crisis. Nlle realize that children in countries at war are often not even allowed to attend school and we appreciate the opportunities afforded us. Vlle wish to thank all of you parents, teachers and friends who have niade this gathering possible and we hope to be a credit to this community in the years to come. JOHN MUFFATT HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1942 The Class of I9-I2 made its first appearance in Natick High School in the fall of l939. VVe were the first class since 193-I to be housed with the seniors and juniors, with the exception of a few cooperative and willing students who remained at Alnnior High. These students came over to the high school every afternoon to take typewriting from Miss Vllildbur. An active Glee Club was arranged under the new music supervisor, Rodney May. Many sophomores were in the Glee Club, and we were enter- tained by this club on several occasions. As sophomore class officers we elected Alfred lfdwards, President Vllilliam lflorio, Vice President, Robert Bennett, Treasurer: and Shirley Kilmer, Secretary. Under the able supervision of these officers, and with the guidance of Miss Hayes, our class advisor, and Mr. Hill, then principal, the officers worked hard in an effort to promote enough spirit in the sophomore class to have a prom. But, alas, it was not to be. Many of our boys went out for sports, but the one outstanding lad in football, during our sophomore year, was Charles Kotchie Sargent. Korchie played in many games and proved himself to be a great football player. Although Kotchie has left school, due to an injury received while playing football, we all wish him great success in whatever field he chooses to follow. ln the fall of 1940, we were welcomed back to school by lNlr. Wciieidbllry, our new principal. Mr. Vvoodbury was chosen to succeed Mr. Hill, who left Natick to become principal in Hingham High School. Our class officers for our junior year were Melvin Freedman, Presidentg Geraldine Brown, Vice President, Robert Bennett, Treasurer, and Shirley Nliles, Secretary. A very capable junior executive board was organized, and was responsible for the election of the committees which made the Junior Prom a memorable success. ' The various athletic clubs made wise choices in electing the following captains: football, Co-captains Ernest Parker and Nicholas Sciannag hockey, Co-captains Frank Miccile and Dana Vllinner, basketball, Reginald Matthews, and baseball, Robert McNeil. Vllith the beginning of our senior year we faced a handicap in the form of a semi-constructed addition to our Alma Mater. Many of the teachers acquired laryngitis trying to make themselves heard above the din of the work-
