JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Otic rainy day in September of ’38, a number of bewildered sophomores were standing around the bulletin board on the first floor of Colt Memorial trying to discover just what their next move should be. Within a week we were all settled, that is, we thought we were until the juniors and seniors took upon their shoulders the task of initiating the “silly sophs.” During the course of the next few weeks, we were very busy capturing the banner for best scholastic standing and electing class officers. Before we knew it. our days as “silly sophs” were over and in September we would be able to enter the school and survey the incoming sophomores with a critical eye. At the first meeting of the junior class we elected our officers: President - - Albert Velleca Vice-president - - Edward Russo Secretary - - Marcia Gifford Treasurer - - Charles Coggeshall Executive Board - - Norman Rene. Vincent Vaccaro, Lucy DelPiano. Attilio To-pazio. Mary Burns. We met the mid-year examinations with a little more courage than we had had in our sophomore year although the results in some cases were shocking. After mid-years, we came back to school filled with a new spirit, but soon a cloud passed over the juniors caused by the death of their classmate. Clara Harmon. The junior prom proved to be a huge success. Our auditorium was beautifully decorated with brown and yellow streamers and colorful balloons blending with the gowns worn by the belles of Colt Memorial. After the prom comes the senior reception to which all juniors are invited and which many, no doubt, will attend. NANCY BOSWORTH 41 0 THE SOPHOMORES The past year has been a year of success for the Sophomores. For this, we have to thank our principal, our teachers, and our class officers, who all have endeavored to teach us the required elements of high school study. They have made us feel at home by opening up to us new fields of learning and education. The class got off to a good start by electing very capable officers, who have proved themselves worthy of their appointed positions. As faculty advisor. Mr. Sullivan gained the confidence of the sophomore class, which is greatly indebted to him for his time, and his patience, at class meetings and recreational activities. Great spirit was shown in the field of sports where many of our sophomore boy captured honors in football, baseball, and basketball. They were quick in response to the call of the athletic association, as can be seen by the number of members. On November 20, 1939, the first class meeting was held, and students were nominated for office. At the following meeting, held on November 27, 1939. the officers were elected as follows: President - - Frank Murgo Vice-president - - Harold Demers Secretary - - Joseph Accardi Treasurer - - Walter Brelsford Later the executive committee was chosen. It is composed ot the following: Louis Alfano. Yolando Santulli. Ferdinand Almeida. Felecia Goglia. Carole Guisti, Madeline Castro. Another example of school spirit was evident in the co-operation of the members of the English Club, organized for the purpose of encouraging extra-curricular activities. It was carried successfully through the years by sophomores. The French Club cannot be forgotten, as it takes up the minds of the pupils in French classes, by encouraging extra activities, and the advancing of the French language. Their president is the ever-popular Walter Brelsford, who maintains order and encourages attendance at meetings. We Juniors-to-be hope that the oncoming rush of sophomores will enjoy their year as much as we have. Again, we thank our teachers for their faithful guidance throughout the past year. 29
