Ever since entering S. H. S. her in- terests have centered in the little town of Ston- ington. Rose is a lover of flowers and that is the reason she acquired her nick-name. Al- tnougnt sne dia not participate in athletics she maintained a good standing in her studies. Good luck, Marion!

George was voted by the class the most intelli- gent boy because he is gifted with a great ora- torical ability. More than one class has had the privilege and honor of hearing George speak with great fluency on many subjects. Georgie's grit and spirit on the football Held have be- come one of the legends of Stonington which will last for many years to come. George has had to overcome many obstacles to obtain his diploma and if we were to give our opinion on the boy most likely to succeed, George would undoubtedly be the one chosen.

State Colege but she has always been willing to help make her own Alma Mater's activities a success.

Stonington High School Year Book, 1932 31 Class History WE, the class of 1932, entered Stonington High School in September 1928 with the idea firmly fixed in our minds to make good. Our class was, as usual, composed of graduates from Broadway, St. Michael's and West Broad St. school. We held our Freshman dance in April and this affair proved to be successful. The boys of our class entered athletics and some of them made the varsity team. During the Sophomore year our social activities were limited to the Sophomore Social which was held on October 31. This affair was successful and a large crowd attended. In regard to athletics many a gap in the football line was filled by Sophomores in 1929, and other athletic teams were boosted by the presence of the boys from our class. Our Junior year was successful as far as athletics, financial, and social affairs were concerned. The Junior dance was held in the Town Hall in November. This dance was well attended. and we thought our financial troubles were over for the year, but unfortunately we lost our class funds. A benefit dance and whist was held and the generous support of the school boosted our' treasury. Last but not least came the Junior Prom. Much credit is due to the committee in charge of the affair for mak- ing it so successful. Although financial ruin had faced us dur- ing the latter part of the year, due to capable management of our affairs we pulled through with success and always we lived up to our principles socially, financially and athletically. Our Senior year has been just another year of success for us. Many of us secured honorable mention and seven members have won scholarship letters. We have made remarkable progress in the clubs which have been organized for the first time this year. In athletics the outstanding work of Jim Hanley and Dog Arnott will be missed 'on the field, and the work of Miss Szymanski on the court is something that will long be remembered. Much as we regret leaving Stonington High School, we are happy in the thought that we can look back with pride on our undertakings during the four years we have spent there. The pathway of life lies before us and we step forth boldly eager to continue our principles of making good. George Whz'tford.
