CLASS HISTORIY Swish-That was Ex-Headmaster Ruel E. Tucker going out the doors of Brockton High School as we were coming in as sophomores. Filling his former seat was a big, smiling man, Waldro I. Kindig. ln our first assembly, Mr. Kindig suggested making a road map of B. H. S., a project which we heartily endorsed. Our activity as a class began when Miss Sophie Urburtis, the sophomore adviser, guided tenth-grade home room representatives in drawing up ct constitution. December 7 .... Peaceful scholastic activities of the High School were cut short with the japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. We shifted into war gear with a paper drive and prolonged but enjoyable air-raid drills. Despite added war responsibilities we kept on with class functions. Our voting for class leaders resulted in the election of Francis MacDonald as president: Gloria Wentzell, vice-president: joanne Hill, secretary: and William Tarlow, treasurer. The elected executive committee included Kathryn Adams, Earl Alexander, Richard Anderson, Donald Booth, and Marilyn Nawrocki. Later, joseph Teplow designed the class of '44 banner of royal blue and white, the official class colors. The year's activities were completed with the presentation of a gift to the school and the participa- tion of the sophomores in the Field Day exercises. A Year Closer .... Swish-That was Ex-Headmaster Waldro I. Kindig going out as we came back again to begin our junior year. We made the acquaintance of our new headmaster, Ralph W. Haskins, at a class meeting. Miss B. Elizabeth Elzbut took over the reins as adviser. At the mid-winter junior-Senior Prom we made our social debuts. April elections were, in fact, re-elections, for Francis Mac- Donald, Gloria Wentzell, joanne Hill, William Tarlow, Earl Alexander, Richard Anderson, and Marilyn Nawrocki were returned to office. Ann Arnold and Helen Barry were elected as new executive committee members. ln addition to taking part in the Field Day exercises, 26 girls and 26 boys served as junior ushers. A contribution was voted for a fund to be used eventually in erecting a memorial plaque listing B. H. S. alumni making the supreme sacrifice in World War II. Finally . . . Yes, finally we became seniors and started on our merry way toward gradu- ation with all its glamour. Football came first and then the Victory Cruise fthe junior-Senior Proml, which was held early in the year for the benefit of those fellows who faced induction into the armed services before the new year. Announcement of the yearbook staff was made by adviser Edmund Pilla, and work on the book of the year began immediately. Along about December 3, 23
