The pleasures we have enjoyed, the friends we have made, the preparation for life that we have received, we owe to the efforts of Mr. Phelps. Mr. I Lacey, the faculty, and the School Committee. But we are especially indebted to you, parents and taxpayers, who have made these educa- tional opportunities available to us. The Class of ’41 will endeavor to be citizens worthy of your efforts. — Robert Healy CLASS POEM In ourselves, our future lies.'

Geraldine Balhoxi [ 19] THE SENIOR CLASS All over the United States millions of young men arc offering one year of their lives to the defense of their country. The schools, too, arc in the front line of defense; they, however, give not one but twelve years of training. In the schools the impressionable clay of American youth is fashioned. Here are instilled the earliest teachings in patriotism and democracy. The stability of our faith in our democracy rests upon this earliest of foundations. The futility of a gun in the hands of a man who does not have complete faith in the government which he is defending is illustrated by the wretched plight of France. If the tragedy of France is not to be repeated here, it will be because school, aided by the home, develops responsible American patriots. By an American patriot I mean a self-reliant, intelligent, well-educated individual who is a responsible cog in the great wheel of our democracy and who is ready to fight for his country because by his own thoughts he concludes that in spite of its faults, democ- racy is the freest and most civilized form of government in the world. Such a man is immune to the most deadly saboteur at work in the U. S. today, the dread that democracy’s day i over, that whether we like it or not the world of tomorrow will be totalitarian. He realizes that a more tragic fallacy could not be found : that there is nothing inevitable about a dictatorship; that it comes about only when the free man neglects his responsibility, grows soft, distrusts himself, and in his fear turns to a leader to solve his problem. In Germany the schools, warped by the sickness of Nazism, have produced the goosestepping, emotional. leader-loyal Hitlerite. Every subject is taught with the idea of glorifying Hitler and instilling in the pupils by constant repetition the idea that their first duty is always to the leader, that he comes before themselves, their families, and their God. The German schools forge the chain of dumb obedience that is fastened about every Nazi neck. The free American schools provided by townspeople like yourselves grant every person the right to his opinion. Every subject is taught with the idea of giving the student a background upon which to form intelligent opinions. We learn tolerance of all races and creeds. We learn manual training instead of the manual of arms. The aim of our educational facilities is to enable us to live intelligent, varied, and happy lives. But more than that, today in this era of tottering democracies the schools are faced with the additional task of arousing every citizen to his responsibility to his government. To quote Commissioner of Education John W. Studebakcr: “An educa- tional program for the common defense must sharpen our wits and deepen our under- standings of ways in which to bring about the more rapid solution of the social and economic problems of the machine age. For we can lose democracy in either of two ways—by pressure from the outside, or by collapse from within.” Difficult though the next few years will inevitably be, in spite of the sacrifices they may demand, we of the Class of '41 believe that our educational training will enable us to face resolutely these trying years. Through the public schools and your efforts, we shall be soldiers of democracy in heart as well as in uniform. — Robert Healy [2. ] Time: June 20, 1941. Place: The home of any member of the Class of ’41. (On the right, in front of the curtain is a comfortable chair, a reading lamp, and a table. A senior enters, picks up a paper from the table, settles himself in the chair, and starts to read. His mother enters.) Mother: It’s time you went to bed, son. School days are over, now. Tomorrow you go to work. Senior: I hate to think school is over. We had such a swell time those four years at Agawam High. I’d like to live them over. Mother: Good-night. I’ll call you tomorrow at six. Senior: CJosh, I’m sleepy. (She exits.) ( He puts newspaper down, stretches and yawns, settles back comfortably in the chair, and falls asleep.) (Curtain slowly parts, showing a huge calendar which dominates the stage. The top leaf of the calendar has September. 1937. written on it in large letters. From behind the pages of the calendar step Barbara Chapin and Barbara Risley with ballots in their hands.) Barbara C.: Didn’t our first class meeting go off nicely? Barbam R.: Even if we are Freshmen, we had a most successful meeting. Barbara C.: We must count these ballots. (They walk over to a table on the left and start counting ballots.) Barbara R.: Well, Raymond Raschi is our class President and Myrtle Maillard is Vice-President. Barbara C.: I’ve finished with these ballots, too. Albina Shea is Secretary, and John Caldon is Treasurer. (They pick up ballots and exit to the left.) (The curtains are drawn and when they open again, the calendar shows the date September, 1938. From behind the page of the calendar step Albina Shea and Mary Gravel.) Albina: We must call the newspapers right away. I’m sure they are waiting for the report of the elections. Mary: You call them. You’re the school reporter. Albina: (Steps to the phone and dials a number.) Springfield Union? — The Soph- omore class has just elected its new officers ... Yes ... 1 knew you would want the report. Raymond Raschi is President; Myrtle Maillard, Vice-President; Alma Lodi, Secretary; John Caldon, Treasurer . . . That’s all . . . Good-bye. (She hangs up and the two girls exit.) (The calendar shows date April, 1938. Then Marianne Brady and Barbara Chapin enter.) Barbara: Isn’t it a lovely party? I’ve looked forward to this Sophomore party for two years! Marianne: Bobby Fcnn certainly did a good job as general chairman. Barbara: Yes, aren’t the balloons and streamers the best-looking decorations? Marianne: Let’s go back to the party. We don’t want to miss Thelma Wheeler’s song. Barbara: She’s just starting to sing now. (They step aside and Thelma appears from behind the calendar. She sings “My Hero,” then they exit.) [22] (The date on the calendar now reads September, 1939. Barbara Risley steps from behind the page and walks to the table at the left where she turns on the radio. A music program blares forth which is interrupted by a news announcer.) Announcer: We interrupt this program of popular music to bring you the returns from the Junior Class election at Agawam High School for which the world is anxiously waiting. Raymond Raschi is the President; Edith Marinetti, Vice-President; Alma Lodi. Secretary; and John Caldon, Treasurer. We now return you to the musical program. (Barbara turns off the radio and exits.) (When the curtain opens, the date on the calendar has been changed to November, 1939. Wilbur Miller and Robert Fenn enter.) Robert: Where are you going, Wilbur? HU bur: I’m going to the printer with the program for the operetta, “The Outlaw King.” Robert: Any of my friends in it? Wilbur: I should say so. Thelma Wheeler has the lead, playing Maid Marian; John Quirk, Eugene Zielinski, Cecelia Napolitan, Helen Davis, and Yours Truly are also in it. Robert: 1 suppose you’re coming to the Cabaret? Wilbur: What orchestra is playing? Robert: 'Fed Jarrett’s! All the Juniors will he there. (They walk off the stage and the curtain is drawn.) (The calendar shows the date May. 1940, when the curtain opens again. From behind the pages dance Lucille Letendre and Robert Xotman.) Lucille: Isn’t it a perfect prom, Bob? The revolving light adds a lot to the decora- tions. doesn’t it ? Bob: Yes. Those guitar players, Mexican girls, and cacti actually seem alive, don't they ? Lucille: I like the donkey, too! Hob: That music by Bell Brothers’ orchestra sounds like more dancing. Let’s go back. (They exit.) (The calendar shows the date September, 1940. From behind its pages step the Class Officers and a photographer.) Photographer: Now let's see, this is to be a picture of the Senior Class Officers, isn’t it? I want the President in the middle. (Points to chairs.) Marianne: That's Boh Healy. Photographer: T he Vice-President next. Alma: That’s you, Marianne. Photographer: Next the Secretary and Treasurer. Hob: That’s Alma and Johnny Walker. ('File picture is taken, and they exit.) (Joe Pisano in football garb steps from behind the pages of the calendar. A reporter enters from the left and approaches Joe.) Reporter: Are you Pisano? Joe: Yes. Reporter: I’m Ed. Sullivan, up from New York to get an exclusive interview about your football team. Joe: Well, our team is the champion of Western Massachusetts! Reporter: Who was voted the most valuable player in Western Massachusetts? Joe: You’re looking right at him. Reporter: Did any of your team make the Western Massachusetts Honor Roll? Joe: Any? Bob Healv, Leo De Forge. Johnny Walker, and, of course, Joe Pisano. Reporter: Was this the first time you made the Football Honor Roll? Joe: The four of us made it last year, too.

Evelyn Comeau and Cecelia Xapolitan enter.) Evelyn: Are you going to the rehearsal for the operetta, “The Pirates of Penzance?” Cecelia: Yes. I’m on my way. The Senior Class is well represented in the operetta, isn’t it? Wilbur Miller, Helen Davis and Alfred Mutti have important roles. Evelyn: Yes, and Cecile Brusseau, Dorothy Conroy, Albina Penna and William Chiba are in the chorus. Cecelia: Let’s practice our song now. (The girls sing.) (Calendar shows the date December, 1940. Jeannette Hart and William Wylie, sucking lollypops, step from behind the pages in their Kid Party Costumes.) Jeannette: Isn’t this Kid Party fun? William: Aren’t you proud of the prizes we won as the cutest girl and boy at the party? Jeannette: Indeed I am. Raymond Raschi and Cecelia Xapolitan won prizes for the funniest costumes. William: There’s Santa Claus. Don’t tell anyone but it’s Johnny Walker. Let’s go get our presents. (They run off the stage.) (Robert Xotnian enters and turns on the radio. A sports program is in progress.) Announcer: 'I'his time of year finds basketball at its height. In the Valley Wheel Captain Hob Hcaly of the Agawam team brings the high scoring record to his school.

I want to rehearse it for the American Legion Contest. Bob: Go ahead. (Wilbur gives part of his speech, and they both exit.) (Lorraine Hawkcs appears walking along reading a book. She bumps into Alma Lodi, who is very excited.) Alma: Excuse me. Oh, Lorraine, Congratulations! Lorraine: For what? Alma: The Mirror. Lorraine: The Mirror . . . what about it? Alma: Oh. haven’t you heardf — why it’s right on the front page of this morning’s “Springfield Union!” Lorraine: Alma, will you please tell me what you are trying to say? Alma: Why. The Mirror won first place in The Columbia Press Association Contest! Lorraine: Oh, isn’t that wonderful! Do we have an assembly this afternoon? Alma: Yes. it’s the Pro Merito Assembly. Who will be sitting on the stage besides you and me? Lorraine: Geraldine Balboni, Evelyn Comeau, Helen Davis, Robert Healy, Kenneth Leger, Edith Marinetti, Edmund Massa, Millie Pisano.

(The curtains are drawn and the calendar changed to show the date April. 1941. The cast of the Senior Play appears and gives a short skit from the play.) (When the curtains are opened for the last time, June, 1941. is written in large letters on the calendar. Breaking through the center of the calendar, appear Barbara Chapin, Barbara Risley and Marianne Brady in caps and gowns. They bow. The curtain is pulled.) Senior: (Waking up and yawning.) What a dream! All four years of High School over again . . . four happy years I’ll probably keep on dreaming about.

(Begins reading and remarks) Boy. this Agawam 'Times is all right. Robert Penn and Edith Marinetti certainly are marvelous editors. The campaign for mayor of Agawam City has reached its height! Alphonse Lango on the “Aga” ticket and Wilbur Miller on the “Warn” ticket — stiff competition there! I see Cecelia Napolitan, the Coast-to-Coast lecturer, is backing the “Warn” ticket with all her inspiring talks at the Agawam Municipal Auditorium. (Startled) What’s this? (Reads) “A new . . . (Stops; hears girls’ loud angry voices; covers face with paper in desperation). (Voices arc heard outside) We don’t know who he is, Phyllis, and we don’t care to know! We re going in! (Lorraine and Alma enter stormilv.) Alma: (Angrily) We’re the owners of the Loral Dress Shop, and Mr. President, we’re here to complain! Lorraine: (Angrily) We certainly are! Our shop has the reputation of being distinguished and carrying the latest modes. Alma: This happens to be H)$i and not 1041! Lorraine: Why, we didn’t have a gown in stock fit to sell to Thelma Wheeler, the well-known opera singer. Miss Wheeler certainly couldn’t appear in one of your gowns at the world-famous Zielinski Opera House! Alma: You can take the Loral Dress Shop off your mailing list, and you can he sure that our neighbor, the Letendre and Letcndrc Department Store, will hear . . . (She is interrupted by the entrance of Daglio. He’s laden with dresses and boxes so that his identity is not at first revealed.) Daglio: Excuse me. The vice-president, William Myers, sent me. I’m the new production manager. These dresses—(Startled; sees girls) Alma ! Lorraine! (Drops dresses to greet them.) Alma. Lorraine: Obbie! Gee, it’s good to see you! (Meanwhile, Raschi, hearing the names, slowly, not believing his ears takes paper from head.) Raschi: (Startled) No! No! It can’t be! I'm going mad! But it is! Lorraine! Alma! Obbie! Lorraine, Alma. Obbie: (Turn to him) Ray! Lorraine: You, the president of this firm? [26] Dap lio: And my boss? Alma: (ice, but it’s a small world! (Telephone rings) Raschi: Sit down. Make yourselves at home!

I bought it from the John Diduk Real Estate Agency last year . . . Certainly, you and Harold Clark can use it for a billboard! . . .Good-bye! (Hangs up) Thar was Kenneth Leger. Daglio: That chocolate taste to the new Leger and Clark Toothpaste is all right. I use it four times a day. Lorrairii : Maybe Hjordis Paulson or Ralph ()li cr will pose for the billboard. They've been doing a lot of posing for national advertisers. Alma: Their pictures do improve the scenery. Daglio: I've often noticed their pictures on the cover of Myrt's Co-Ed Fashions magazine. Myrtle Maillard and Albina Shea are brilliant editors. Their magazine has a national circulation. Raschi: Who does the modeling? Lor rain; : Barbara Risley and Shirley Wilcoxson. Raschi: Remind me to get the magazine! I've been missing a lot! Lorraine: Speaking of models, Cecile Brusseau and Helen McDonald model the dresses in our store. Alma: Yes, and Stanley Anderson is our store manager. Daglio: It seems odd that we four should all land in the 1 ress business. You know— (Daglio’s interrupted by the appearance of a Telegram Boy. It's Alfred Mutti.) All: Why. Alfred Mutti! Mall-: Hello, everybody! 1 have a singing telegram for you. Raymond, from your North Agawam “gang. (Sings. “Happy Birthda) to You. ) Raschi: (ice! It is my birthday! I almost forgot! All: Happy birthday, Ray! Mutti: I sing telegrams just as a side line, you know. I'm really an undertaker, but bu-incss hasn't been too good lately. That Dr. William Wylie's Eternal Tonic certainly adds years to people’s lives! Catherine Smith’s best seller, Don't Ever Die. doesn’t help my business any either. Well, good-bye folks. Hope to see you again soon. (Leaves) Daglio: Not in your parlor. I hope. Lorraine: Say. what are your North Agawam friends doing? Raschi: No doubt you've heard about Edmund Massa. Alma: Yes, isn’t it grand that lie’s been appointed Secretary of the Navy. Lorraine and I met him the last time we were in Washington on business. We saw John Walker there, too. He and Jeannette Hart are co-workers in the Treasury Department. Lorraine: What's Bob Grady doing? Daglio: He teaches chemistry at the exclusive Marianne Brad) School for girls. Alma: Wasn’t that the school that nearly exploded last week? Raschi: Yes. Bob was experimenting with his new non-explosive substance for pre- venting baldness. Daglio: Marianne has a fine school. Geraldine Balboni teaches Latin there, and Mary Grasso is the gym teacher. Lorrairu : What are the De Forge boys doing? Raschi: Leo and Philip are the proprietors of the North Agawam Ritz Hotel. Alma: Really? I’ve often admired its original architecture. Daglio: It was designed by Eleanor Zucco and built by the Calabrese and Richmond Construction Company. Lorraine: Who did the beautiful interior decorating? Raschi: Eleanor Scagni with the help of the Zancho sisters, Frances and Jennie. Daglio: The De Forge Brothers know how to draw crowds there. They’ve got the popular 26-piece Philip Brusseau Orchestra under contract. Millie Pisano is one of the talented musicians. [27] Raschi: Yes, and Evelyn DiDonato is the charming vocalist. She leaves you spell- bound whenever she sings Evelyn Comeau’s latest hit, “1 Hear a Melody.” (From outside comes. “Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Harvard Coach, former Agawam athlete, sets record! Extra! Read all about it!”) Alma: Now who — could — he be? Why — Joe Pisano, of course. Run out and get a paper, Obbic. (Daglio exits) Lorraine: I can still remember the day that Joe was appointed football coach at Harvard. Why, every broadcasting company and especially the Jackson National Television System honored Joe. He was on a national hookup for about two hours. Raschi: Yale’s basketball coach, Edward Neilson, gets lots of publicity, too. Robert Xotman. the radio sports commentator, gives Eddie a buildup every week. Alma: Speaking of the radio, do you listen to the Lepore Shampoo Pot O' Silver program ? Lorraine: Yes, it’s my favorite program. The comedians. Lulu and I)odo, arc a scream! Raschi: (Puzzled) Lulu and Dodo? Alma: Yes, Louise Allen and Dorothy Conroy. You’re missing a great program, Ray. John Caldon is master of ceremonies, and he’s just as humorous as the two girls. (Daglio enters) Daglio: (Excited, with open paper in hands) Wait until you hear this! (Reads) “Pisano sets new record! Harvard coach. Joe Pisano, former Agawam athlete, sets a new world’s record. Never before in the history of any college has a college remained undefeated in football for more than two seasons. However. Pisano’s Harvard teams have remained undefeated for the past four consecutive seasons. Robert Healy, Dean at Harvard, presented Pisano with a golden trophy in recognition of his excellent coaching.” Well, what do you think of that? Alma: That’s grand. Ix’t me see the paper. Obbie. (Daglio gives her part of the paper.) Say, look at this! (Reads) “Reconstruction of Paris completed. Local men, Frederick Pruczinski and Robert Wilson, have just returned from France where they directed the remodeling of Paris. Paris is now more beautiful than ever and should be on the list of every traveler. (Bewildered) Visit your local Wright and Davis Trav- elers Bureau for information where to spend that summer abroad.” Goodness, for a moment I thought I was reading a news item. Lorraine: What original advertising! That must be the clever work of the Went- worth Sisters Advertising Agency. We must see them, Alma. Maybe they can give us a few ideas for our advertising. Daglio: That must be this morning’s paper on your desk. Ray. What’s new in the Highlight Column? Raschi: I’ll look for it. (Struggles through mess of papers) Here it is. Listen to this! (Reads) “Patricia Coughlin, the vice-president of the Henry Ford Motor Company needs to own but one per cent more of the stock to be co-president of the firm. Flash! Gloria Savioli, world’s champion typist, will return from her western tour this week. Marguerite Lctellier, Miss Savioli’s private secretary, stated that Miss Savioli is to appear at the new enlarged Agawam High School in the near future.” Our class certainly has become famous! Alma: This comic strip, “Superwoman, by Theresa Roscoc is thrilling. Lorraine: Alma! You don’t still read the funnies. Daglio: Why not! I read them! I wouldn’t miss David Cesan’s “LiP Abner, Jr.” for anything! Raschi: They haven’t grown up yet, Lorraine. Alma: What do you mean uc haven’t grown up yet? If I’m not mistaken, that on your desk is a copy of Vincent Caroleo’s popular child story, “Snow White and the Seven Elves.” Explain that! Raschi: (Embarrassed) Well —well — it’s such a cute story that — say, we haven’t heard all the highlights. Read them, Obbie. (Gives them to Daglio) Daglio: (Reads) “Edward Ramah now has exclusive control of all the cleaning and dyeing companies in the City of Agawam and its suburbs. Springfield and West [28] Springfield. Flash! The Agawam Hospital has added more efficient nurses to its staff. Among them are Jennie Subotin, Mary Gravel, Catherine Rachck, and Norma Mitchell. Jean Petersen, the famous dietitian, has found a single diet that adds pounds to thin people and makes fat people thin.” Did I read that right? Lorraine: Obbie, you need glasses! I’d advise the I)iduk-French opticians. Alma: He did read it right. 1 know, because I was talking with Jean’s assistant, Thelma Beal, the other day. (Telephone Rings) Raschi: Excuse me. (Picks up phone) President Raschi speaking . . . Senator Carr? . . .Oh! Charles Carr! . . . The Senate won’t repeal the bill? . . . What did the House think of it? State Representative, Charles Porter, approved? . . . Well, thanks anyway. Goodbye! (Hangs up) I can’t understand it. Our Massachusetts woman governor, Joan Baker, said the legislature would repeal the bill. Dagtio: What’s this all about. Ray? Raschi: (Disgusted) Women’s dresses! Listen to this. (Takes clipping from desk drawer and reads) “Dress lengths to be longer! Frances Arnold and Irene Marotte, Hollywood wardrobe censors of the John Quirk Film Company, have succeeded in passing a bill whereby women’s dresses must not be more than ten inches from the Hoor. Lorraine: So what? Raschi: So u hatf That means more material for each dress I manufacture, and I can’t get the act repealed! Alma: Oh, cheer up, Ray! Daglio: Do you know that Eleanor Pruczinski’s and Madelainne Richard's Thor- oughbred Dog Farm was honored for having the curliest-haired dogs in the country? Alma: Really? That reminds me! My hair needs to be set for Saturday. I'll have to call the Placido-Penna Beauty Parlor for an appointment. Lorraine: You should have called at least three weeks ago to make the appointment. The Hollywood hair stylist, Emma Scherpa, is there. Alma: Well, I’ll see if Esther Littlefield, the private secretary at the parlor, has an opening. Raschi: What do you say. Obbie? Let’s forget work and celebrate my birthday by taking the girls out. Daglio: Good idea, Ray! Well, girls? Lorraine, Alma: Wc like it! Raschi: We can start by having dinner and dancing at the “Agawam Trocadero.’’ Lorraine: Isn’t that the new restaurant owned by Carmella Pisano and Virginia Brinker? Daglio: Yes. They have delicious food there. Then we can go to the Everett Neil Playhouse and see Barbara Chapin in Grapes of Joy.” Lorraine, Alma: Sounds grand! Raschi: I’d better let my secretary know I’m going out or she’ll have the entire G-Men squad, including the chief, William Chiba, looking for me. (Picks up phone) Phyllis, I mean. Miss Connor, please take the “Do Not Disturb” sign from the door, and place the “Out for the Day” sign on it . . . Yes, and ask one of the fellows to drive the car out front . . . no, not the Cadillac . . . my new Regnier roadster. (Hangs up; gets hat and asks) Ready, folks? Daglio: Come, girls, here’s where ask for a raise! (They begin walking out) Alma: Lorraine and I still have a bone to pick with you, Ray! Lorraine: Yes. Ray! Raschi: Let’s hurry and make it a juicy steak bone at the “Agawam Trocadero.” Alma Lodi Lorraine Hawkes Alfred Daglio Raymond Raschi [ 29 J THE SOPHOMORE CLASS We. the Class of '41 hang of sound mind, we hope, with sincere and careful con- sideration for all our associates of the past four years, do hereby write our last will and testament: To the citizens of Agawam: Our grateful thanks for the educational opportunities and happy memories of the past four years made possible by their foresight and gen- erosity.

The Pirates of Penzance,” in which they played the overture. The orchestra also played for the Agricultural Oratorical Contest which was held at Agawam, and for numerous school assemblies. Senior members of the orchestra are Millie Pisano and William Wylie. B A N D Agawam is very proud of its newly organized band which has played at football and basketball games, and several assemblies. There are now twenty-eight members, with Shirley Linnehan as drum majorette, and Nancy Clark and Dorothy Woodruff as twirlers. The band is also under the musical direction of Miss Perry and has been in- structed in marching by Mr. Henry Baker of the faculty. The band marched in the Memorial Day parade. THE AGAWAM MASQUE The Masque has had an unusually active year. The Christmas assembly, a series of dramatic tableaux illustrating the Christmas story, was the first major production of the club. In May the Masque presented a Benefit Show, consisting of a one-act play and a magician, to raise money for the curtain fund. During the year many short plays and skits were presented at the regular meetings by different members. Besides theatrical activities, the club sponsored a dancing school, conducted a Victory Football dance, held an initiation party, and finished the year’s activities with a picnic.

In addition to the regular business carried on by the council, many social events were enjoyed. Among these were conventions at Palmer High School and Classical High School in the fall and winter respectively. The high light of the council’s activities came in the early spring when Agawam was host to all the councils of the Valley Wheel. The convention opened with a welcoming address by Mr. Daccy, after which the members adjourned and took part in panel discussions. In the evening a banquet was served to a group of seventy-five council members. The banquet was followed by danc- ing. the music being furnished by the “Sunset Serenaders.” THE SPEAKERS' CLUB The purpose of the Speakers’ Club is to give students practice in correct English speaking. A secondary objective is to give training to those interested in oratory. One of the outstanding events of this organization was the annual elimination contest in February to choose the speaker to represent the school in the Valley Wheel Oratorical Contest held in Ludlow. Five members competed, each giving an oration of approximately six minutes. W’ilbur Miller won first place and Ruth Raison, second. Prizes were presented to the winners by the American Legion. Wilbur Miller tied for third in the District American Legion Contest and won second place in the Valley Wheel Oratorical Contest. He also won first place in the state contest of the National Forensic League.

The club is composed of Junior and Senior girls. Early in the fall Tri-Hi, in co-operation with the Agawam Women’s Club, spon- sored a course for training girls to be mothers’ helpers. This course consisted of a series of lectures and demonstrations and was opened to all girls in the school. The fall program centered in a study of manners and was climaxed by an assembly program in which the girls, assisted by the boys from Hi-Y, demonstrated correct manners for all occasions. There were several fine travel lectures, the outstanding being one by Mr. Hadley, “Appreciating New England.” and a colored movie of a western trip by Mrs. S. F. Cushman. Another speaker enjoyed by the club was Miss Caroline Wagoner, who spoke on “Good Hooks for Girls.” Tri-Hi also enjoyed a spring and fall dance, a spaghetti supper, and several parties. In May, the girls entertained their mothers at a Mothers’ Day Tea.

The last three have been members of the baseball squad since their freshman year. That year the team won the Valley Wheel and took part in the Western Mas- sachusetts Tournament in which they were defeated in the semi-finals by Athol, the winner of the tourney. The season of ’39 was not quite so successful, but victories over Enfield and West-Side finished the season with a flourish. This was also the year in which Mr. Reynolds left for Suflield and handed over the coaching reins to Mr. Oulton who is the present baseball coach. The following year the team took part in the Western Massachusetts Tournament, from which they were eliminated bv West Springfield, and finished second in the Valley Wheel. Joe Pisano made the Western Massachusetts Honor Roll for baseball. Regnier, Calabrese, Fenn, and Leger were members of this year’s hockey squad. The year of 41 marked the revival of this sport at Agawam High with Mr. Purcell as coach. The new team had a successful season. Healy, I . Dc Forge, Oliver, P. I)c Forge, Miller, Ncilson and Pisano are the members of the graduating class who took active part in basketball. All of these boys with the exception of P. Dc Forge have been members of the squad since their freshman year. During the ’39-’40 season the team won 11 and lost 3 games. This same year Rob Healy made the AIL-Western Massachusetts Honor Roll. This past year the team won 10 and lost 4 games during regular play. The boys also took part in the tourney at Northampton in which they were eliminated by Northampton High. Rob Healy, captain this past year, once more made the All-Western Massachu- setts Honor Roll and in addition brought the Valley Wheel individual scoring record to Agawam for the first time. In football, a sport for which Agawam has ever been famed, were the greatest athletic achievements of the class of ’41. Ncilson, Daglio, Pisano, Walker. L. De Forge, P. De Forge, Healy, Grady, Massa, Notman, Oliver, Regnier and Robert Fenn were all members of the squad. It was in ’37 and ’38 that the foundation was laid for the fine teams which Agawam had during the Junior and Senior years of this class. A review of the season of ’39 shows a record of 5 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie. Agawam finished 3rd in that year’s Western Massachusetts ranking. J. Walker, L. Dc Forge, J. Pisano, and R. Healy all made the Western Massachusetts Honor Roll, and Rob Healy was captain of the ball club. Orange sweaters were received by all lettermen. and the squad was given a banquet at the Agawam Center School. Needless to say, this past season lived up to expectations, for Agawam took all the football honors — the Agawam High Football T eam won the Western Massachu- setts championship, a member of the team was voted the most valuable player in Western Massachusetts and broke the Western Massachusetts scoring record, and s Agawam boys including 4 seniors dominated the Western Massachusetts Honor Roll. Agawam won all of its 8 regular games, dropping a post-season contest to Watertown 9 to 6. Joe Pisano established a new scoring mark, and at a special assembly lie was pre- sented a trophy for being the most valuable player in Western Massachusetts. Leo De Forge, Captain Rob Healy, Joe Pisano, and John Walker once more made the [ 50] FOOTBALL TEAM. 1941 All-Western Massachusetts Honor Roll. Diplomas with a picture of the team on the inside were presented to the lettcrmcn. At this banquet the trophies which annually go to the Western Massachusetts football champions were presented to the school by Mr. George Springer of the Springfield Daily Xctis and Republican. With the help of the coaches. Mr. Smith and Mr. Montagna, a great deal was contributed to the football tradition of Agawam High School by this, the Class of ’41. GIRLS' ATHLETICS The girls of the class of 194« have been very prominent in athletics. They com- peted in class and intcrclass sports. In their junior year they won their numerals in both field hockey and softball. In their senior year the girls again won their numerals in softball. In these after-school sports the girls strive to earn their Agawam A’s. In order to earn an A a girl must accumulate twenty-five points in the four sports — field hockey, basketball, volleyball, and softball — throughout the year. Any player on a championship class team receives her numerals. Interclass team captains were: Yale, Marianne Brady; Harvard, Barbara Chapin; Dartmouth. Mary CJrasso; and Princeton, Myrtle Maillard. Others partici- pating in sports were: Frances Arnold. Thelma Beal. Phyllis Connor, Patricia Cough- lin, Jeannette Hart. Alma Lodi. Edith Marinetti, Helen MacDonald, Jean Petersen, Carinclla Pisano, Millie Pisano, Isabelle Placido, Catherine Rachek, Barbara Risley, Kmma Scherpa, Catherine Smith. Jennie Subotin.
