THE TOOT 25 Sophomore Class On October 8, 1943 we organized our Freshman Class with the following officers: President, Richard Clark; Vice-President, Harvey Stocker; Secretary. Charlotte Parks; Treasurer, Margaret Fisher. Then committees were appointed to de- cide upon our class motto, colors and flower which are as follows: Class Motto, Amor Patriae est nostra lex; Colors, Navy Blue and White; flower. Daffodil. We then took part in the Hallowe’en party by showing movies and selling ice cream. loiter in the year we had a party for our- selves and two dances for the public. At the beginning of our Sophomore Year we organized with the following officers: Presi- dent. Joe Cerio; Vice-President, Helen Vree- land; Secretary, Charlotte Parks; Treasurer, Margaret Fisher. Our most important duty was the Fresh- men Initiation to which we gave our complete attention. We at least enjoyed our share in this annual event and we are sure the Fresh- men escaped without much suffering. We raised our money by holding two dances during the year. With this money raised during our Freshman year, we pur- chased our window. We all have enjoyed fully our first two years in C. H. S. —CHARLOTTE PARKS Jo: “What’s wrong with the guy asking Peg: “I was dancing w th him when he you if you can dance?” asked me.

Clarice?” Early in December, we ordered our claso rings which are to be gold with black onyx stone. Our most important event of the year was the Junior Prom, held on April 14. Music was provided by Jim Blanchette’s orchestra. We all agree that such success would not be possible without the helpful guidance of our advisors, Miss Daniels and Mrs. Smith. —HELEN BONAVENTURA Clarice: “I feel all right, but I can hardly breathe.” Dr. Fiore: “Don’t worry, I'll soon stop that.” Draw your own conclusions, dept.: United States food rationing point values—brains 3 points; tongue, 6 points.

2« THE TOOT Freshman Class Upon entering high school in September we. the Class of '47 immediately elected our class officers to guide us in our freshman year. The following officers were elected: President. Mary Tornabene; Vice-president, Richard Tornatore; Treasurer. Eugene Pe- trie; Secretary. Mary Guifre. Initiation began the third week of school and continued over a period of three days. When those eventful days were over we had a party at which the Sophomores were our guests. There was dancing, games and re- freshment. To keep financially fit, dues were collect- ed monthly. In March our class window was put yp with the others, a sight every fresh- man was thrilled to see. Later in the year we had two dances which were very successful. We profited greatly by the advice given us by Mrs. Fudesco and Miss Furfaro, our class advisors. —MARY Gl'IFRE During an examination.
