We carried on many projects with the Seniors to make money to go on a trip. We ordered our class rings. We gave our first class play, and we helped in the publication of the newspaper and the annual. The Junior play was Spring Fever , which was produced under the direction of Miss McKinley. Probably the most thrilling event of the year was the three-day trip to Detroit with the Seniors.

ROLLIN ARY doesn't have much to say, but his name usually comes near the top when the grades are being handed out. He was man- ager of the basketball team and.was a member of the newspaper and annual staffs. Rollin spends his spare time practicing on his electric guitar and he has become an accomplished musician. May you have many years of success in whatever line you follow, Rollin! WANDA POLING has come to Ansonia school for twelve years and has made herself a prominent place 'in our Class of 1941. She has always rated well in scholastic achievement. but she has by no means centered all her efforts on books. She had important parts in both the Junior and Senior plays and was active in all Senior projects, including the Ansonia Messenger and the Oracle , Dependability is her outstanding trait. If Wanda agrees to do a task, it will be done. Luck to you, Wanda! ROBERT STRAIT is another one of the Ag boys who is mighty handy to have around when there is decorating to be done or stage sets to be built. Bob's favorite hobby is riding around in his flivver. He also likes to roam the halls when he isn't occupied in stirring up a batch of muscle-builder or Whisker grower in the chemistry lab. Bob will no doubt be a successful farmer, but could give Bob Hope some stiff competition. BETTY THOMAS's true-blonde hair and dimples make her one of the cutest girls in the class. Her aasy blush also adds to her charm. She has a beautiful singing voice which she has lended to the F. H. A. songs and to the Girls Glee. Tommie is not one to take things too seripusly but she can accomplish much when she ap- plies herself. We wish her much happiness. LAWRENCE GREWE enrolled at Ansonia as a Sophomore and has been a loyal member of our class since that time. Lawrence is a quiet boy and seems to have a knack for staying out of mischief. He is interested in agriculture and has been a member of the F. F. A. for three years. Lawrence plays the violin and was a member of the orchestra. His hobbies are raising rabbits and collecting pen- nies. You are a good boy, Lawrence! Keep up the good work! J OANNE MARTIN is another member of our graduating class who has completed all twelve years in the Ansonia schools. She has taken part in all home economics projects throughout high school. This comely young lady has a quiet, easy-going manner and is always trying to please her associates. She, Iola, and Wanda make quite a threesome. You have our recommendation, Joanne.
