Glass Gtistorij As the orchestra began to play the march that would rhythmatically beat out the his¬ tory of our class, marching feet could be heard coming closer and closer to the stage. This was the class of 1942, the class which had four years ago began high school with strange and puzzled minds. The music from the orchestra seemed to harmonize perfectly with the thoughts of the Seniors. Swiftly they recalled the important events that made each year of high school out¬ standing. Our Freshmen year could be compared to the Call to Arms , that was being musically portrayed by the school orchestra. As we advanced into high school life we elected our first class officers under the supervision of Mr. Keough. Fernand Croteau was elected president, Juliette Collamati— vice-president, Constance Codin—secretary and Romeo Sweck as treasurer. Long will we remember the never-ending periods of Ancient History while other mem¬ ories portraying the adventures of the brave Ivanhoe of Literature will always stand out in our mind. As the rhymic beat of the music swiftly changed to a sharp staccato, our thoughts just as swiftly leaped to the following Sep¬ tember where as Sophomores, we found our¬ selves rushing lickety-split into room ten. Miss Ward quickly calmed us down long enough to select our class officers for the coming year. Kadzemiez Michalowski was elected president, Mary Foley—vice-pre¬ sident, Romeo Sweck— secretary and the late Irene Drapeau as treasurer. Soon the time arrived to choose our class rings. How happy we were to show the other students our choice. As the days passed on our debits and credits in Bookkeeping seem¬ ed to balance more frequently, while the nouns and pronouns in Latin became more familiar to us. Even the speed and accuracy, so needed in typing, was begin¬ ning to enter our fingers. High school sub¬ jects were not so hard after all! We all looked forward with excitement and anxiety to our first dance, the Valentine Dance. With plenty of encouragement from the upper-classmen combined with the hard work of our own classmates the dance turned out to be a huge success. Faintly now, we could hear the simple tunes streaming forth from the orchestra. These simple tunes were introducing strong and forceful measures which would reflect our approaching year of high school, the Junior year. The year which would reach the climatic point in our school work and in this way forming the back-bone of our education. Of course, we would not have realized this important moment so keenly without the wise advise of Mr. Granger. Mr. Granger, being our class advisor was the greatest help our class had to reach the goal that was now drawing closer. After considerable thought toward the more cap¬ able members of the class, Romeo Collamati was elected president, Juliette Collamati, vice-president—Lenore DeJony, secretary and Normand Bel isle, treasurer. Plans for a Halloween Dance were soon underway. The profitable returns from this dance rewarded us for our hard work. Soon the Junior Prom was being thought over, very casually at first, but as time fled by our thoughts began to materalize. Dia¬ grams were designed by the head of the decorating committee and tickets were printed. Everybody was busy doing some kind of work. On the night of May 2nd, 1941, the veil of industry lifted and behold! there before us was the finished product. A hall beautifully decorated with maypole, streamers, and maybaskets and a happy group of young people dancing to the music of Harington ' s New Englanders .
