THE TOOT 29 Sophomore Class With an abundance of pep and energy, the Class of ’45 reentered C. H. S. last fall and ea- gerly looked over the incoming Freshmen. At our first meeting of the year we elect- ed Patricia Milmoe, President; William Park- er, Vice President; Helen Bonaventura, Sec- retary; and Norman Johnson, Treasurer. Then it was our duty (and good luck) to initiate the “Frosh.” At our second meeting we designated the tortures, and fun reigned for a week. Our next undertaking was an assembly program. It brought vaudeville back with solos, ballet and bottles (remember?) A lit- tle later we managed a highly successful sport dance which enriched our treasury by $13. In March, the “Sophs” gave a class party, each inviting one person, a plan that worked very well. We’d like to thank our advisors, Miss Dan- iels and Mrs. Smith, for guiding us through another year with very able help. —HELEN BONAVENTURA Caller: “Boy, I would like to see someone with a little authority.” David: “What can I do for you? I have a- bout as little as anyone.” Miss Mackey: “Name the ten greatest men in the world.” Freddie: “The New York Yankees and The Lone Ranger.” Ginny to Carmie: “I have an uncomfort- able feeling we’re not being followed.”

THE TOOT Junior Class this year leaving a substantial balance in the treasury. We are anticipating entertaining the Sen- ior Class as our final social event before we cnLer our own Senior year. —MARY KAY YORK George: “My love, your cheeks are like peaches, your lips like cherries—” Barb: “Stop, you already used up 48 points.” Soupy: “Where’ve you been?” Louie: “In a phone booth talking to my girl, but someone wanted to use the phone, so we had to get out.” Definition: A night club is a place where the tables are reserved and the guests aren’t. Early in September according to custom, we began the year by electing officers as fol- lows : President, Asa Smith; vice president, Sylvia Miller; Secretary, Mary Kay York; Treasurer, Josephine Lanzafami. Our first social event of the year was a Hallowe’en party held on October 30, which proved to be a success both financially and socially. There were many original costumes and prizes were given for several of the best. Early in November we decided on our class rings which finally arrived in March. We chose a distinctive gold ring with black onyx stone. In March we began to make plans for our Junior Prom which was held on April 26. Music was provided by Chic Webb, and the decorations followed a patriotic theme. The Junior class has co-operated very well

THE TOOT 30 Freshman Class President .................Richard Clark Vice President............Harvey Stocker Secretary ................Charlotte Parks Treasurer ................Margaret Fisher Motto—Amor patriae est nostra lex. (Love of Country is Our Law). Colors—Navy blue and white. Flower—Daffodil The Freshman Class began its social ac- tivities in High school by taking part in the annual Hallowe’en Party. We showed movies sold ice cream, and told fortunes to earn some money to help pay expenses for the coming year. Later in the year, we held two dances for everyone in the school and had one party for ourselves. We plan to purchase our window before the year is over, and put it up with the others. —CHARLOTTE PARKS Gleason was being examined for admission to MIT. He seemed all right in every way but one. The doctor said: “You’re a little stiff.” Quickly his blood mounted as he said,“ You’re a big stiff.” Hedg: “Just because a man has money doesn’t mean he’s a success.” Nina: “I’ll marry any failure who’s got a million dollars.” Miss Clines: “Dick how many times have I told you to get to this class on time?” Dick: “I don’t know. I thought you were keeping score.”
