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.”

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 31 This year, we Thespians had our usual election of officers. They are as follows: Robert Gleason, President; Shirley Sorci, Vice President; Carmela Aquino, Treasurer; Shirley Cardner, Secretary. Due to the lack of a permanent dramatic director, we were unable to present prize speaking and a three-act play. However, we gave a number of assembly programs, the foremost of which was the “Gay Nineties Revue.” Under the leadership of our temporary ad- visor, Miss Penna, we were able to initiate twelve new members on May 20. An initiation party was held in the school gymnasium. Because of the late initiation, the new members were unable to have their pictures taken with the other members of the Thes- pian Society. The new members are: Con- cepta Zumbo, Mary Waldo, Fred Penna, Mary Lou Farr, Frances Aquino, Betty Schmidt, Josephine Farfaglia, Josephine Lanzafami, Asa Smith, Harold Spencer and Thomas Mc- Nally. —SHIRLEV CARDNER Bill Mott: “John Beach is going to get a medal. He saved the lives of the company.” Floyd: “How come?” Bill: “He shot our cook.” Miss Daniels: “What did Benjamin Frank- lin do when he discovered electricity ?” Greiner: “Nothing, he was too shocked.” “Of course I wouldn’t say anything about her unless I could say something good. And, oh boy, is this good—”.
