JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1939, we entered Attica High School an energetic group of freshmen. Under Mr. Van de Mark's guidance, we held several class meetings. We chose for our officers: Louine Kilian as President, Robert Flick as Vice-Presi- dent, and Vera Frisbee as Secretary and Treasurer. The class representative was also Vera Frisbee. Being feshmen our activities were limited, but we participated in a humorous pie eating contest at Stunt Night. With great zeal we began as Sophomores in September, 1940. We elected Robert Hussey for our President, Mary Ann Walsh for Vice-President, Russell Watson for Secretary, and Sarah Perry for Treasurer. Roberta West and Robert Flick were chosen for representatives of the class, and accomplished a great deal with the assistance of Mrs. Sands and Miss Woods. We showed our school spirit with enthusiasm when we won first prize on Stunt Night with our excellent review of the Gay Nineties. Our ambitious class was the originator of the fam- ous play day on the school grounds in June, 1941. During that year we sold candy at basketball and soccer games and sponsored a very successful Thanksgiving dance. With these and other social activities behind us, our exemplary group enter- ed the Junior Class of 1942. We chose for our officers: Mary Ann Walsh as President, Donald Richter as Vice-President, Eleanor Spring as Secretary, and Vera Frisbee as Treasurer. Sarah Perry was chosen for Girl Representative and Frank Vitagliano for Boy Representative. ln October our class had the first card party ever held by a class in this school. It added a great deal to our rapidly increasing treasury. lt was followed by a successful movie benefit. Our class, assisted by our advisors: Mrs. Ranger, Miss Manley, and Mr. Frank then held a Junior Prom and Play. The patriotic prom held in the high school auditorium was memorable to all who attended. Its decorations in red, white and blue made a marvelous showing, while the favorable weather conditions encouraged an enormous crowd to attend. Don't Be Bashful proved very successful and the cast was most commendable in its work, while the various committees added their part to the play's great success. Due to war conditions, we have already purchased our class rings, to wear in preparation for a Senior year which we hope will linger long in our memories. On the commencement of our present Seniors, we Junior students shall begin wearing them. At present our class is looking forward to an exciting year full of commend- able activities. Page 29

Keep up the good work students, and finish with flying colors. After completing a successful Freshman year-both financially and scholasti- cally-we proceed to duplicate this record in our second year of high school. We elected competent officers as our leaders. We, Sophomores, gave an all out effort toward the sale of defense stanmps and bonds and at the end of the first contest ranked second to the esteemed Seniors. During our high school career we have sold candy, held dances, and collected dues in an effort to boost our financial status. This has added a tidy sum to our treasury. This year the class had two new advisors: Miss Feeley and Mr. Cogger. With Mrs. Sands they have aided the class in making it one of their most suc- cessful in its history. So-long until next year students of Attiica High. Page 31
