THE SASSAMON 5 ADDRESS OF WELCOME CLASS DAY PARENTS, TE.-XCHERS AND FRIENDS: In the absence of the President of the Class of 1943, Robert Palladino, who entered Notre Dame University in January, it is my privilege to welcome you to these our Class Day Exercises. We of the Class of 1943 are deeply grateful to all who have made this happy occasion possible. We realize how very fortunate we are to have had the many opportunities that you parents and taxpayers have provided for us. Some of our classmates are now in the service of our country. llany of us will follow them soon. Let us all pray that this horrible war will soon be ended and that whatever our future occupations may be we will make you proud of us. HENRY' AGOSTINELLI CLASS HISTORY HE history of our class begins in September 1940. Prior to this time some of us studied at the Junior High School and others at St. Patricks Parochial School. That was the year Germany became a real threat in Europe. Since that time we have spent three happy and profitable years together. Xlany changes have taken place in that time. We have experienced a change of administration in our school, said farewell to some and welcomed other new members to the faculty. VVe have been affected by the course of world events which have caused many of our classmates to be called to the service of their country. Yet through it all we have remained loyal to Natick High School and the class of 1943. The first few days were memorable ones. llany a Sophomore found himself in the wrong class, confusing the names of the teachers and getting lost in different parts of the building. However, this was soon straightened out and the class of '43 began to feel it really belonged. Class election was held early in October and we were functioning as a unit with the following officers: Charles Haddad, Presidentg Bob Lockhart, Vice-President: Kathleen Condon, Secretary: and Vito Cardellicchio, Treasurer. The year passed swiftly and rather uneventfully. At commencement time there were Seniors in uniform but no one really had any definite idea of what that foretold. Various talented members of our class joined the Glee Club or Orchestra and we were entertained by them on many occasions. llany of our fellow classmates participated in sports and were recognized as capable and sportsmanlike players. Nlem- bers of the class were also elected to the Safety Patrol and SASSAMON Board. September again and our greatest year was before us. VVe returned to find the building being remodeled. This curtailed activities because the gymnasium and as- sembly hall could not be used. With the exception of Vito Cardellicchio who was retained as Treasurer all class officers were new. George Baird became Presidentg Henry Agostinelli, Vice- President' and Lydia Hamilton, Secretary. Y Again Natick had a good year in sports and the following captains were elected:
