The History of the Class of 1940; Precious Words He ate and drank the precious words His spirit grew robust; He knew no more that he was poor, Nor that his fame was dust. He danced along the dingy days, And this bequest of wings Was but a book. What liberty A loosened spirit brings. Time: A.D. 1940%. Prace: Springfield, Mass. U.S.A. SETTING: Classical High School. Motto: ‘‘Nobody has the right to do that which if everybody did it would destroy society.” Prot: In the cold month of January 1937™%, one- hundred and twenty-seven frightened freshies cowered down in the assembly hall seats trying to escape the preying eyes of the silly juniors and dignified [ ? ] seniors. Suddenly a bell rang out, the preying enemies scurried to their rooms, and the freshmen were assigned by our honorable principal, Mr. Hill, to their new rooms. Several weeks [in fact months] passed, and the freshies, having regained their self-assurance, chose their officers: Robert Cross for President, Maurice Drumheller for Vice-President, Scott Edwards for Treasurer, Leonard Sommers for Secretary, and Richard Levitt for Member-at-Large, and held their initiation day formalities, followed by a dance. Many joined the numerous clubs such as the dramatics club, the German club, the French club, the Recorder staff, the Welfare board, and the G.A.A. June rolled around in all her glory, and the gleeful pupils fled from the school. In September, the for mer freshmen were assigned to 10A home rooms. The football season, the new freshmen day activities, teas, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons filled their 10A semester with excitement. Again promo- tion rolled around and the 1940™% class advanced to their junior year. Now feeling important, they enjoyed looking in on the freshies. A few weeks later, after they had stepped back into the swing of things they chose Walter Doyle for President, Vincent Caroleo for Vice-President, Leonard Sommers for Secretary, Scott Edwards for Treasurer, and Richard Levitt for Member-at-Large. During this semester they held their Junior Prom with the 11A class, and enjoyed a n exciting evening of dancing. It was during this junior year that Miss Snell, one of the best-liked math teachers of Classical, resigned her post. She was a sweet lady, as fair as the day is long. She did her best to help the unfortunate non- mathematicians solve their problems and her class was an inspiration to all who attended. About this time the dramatic club presented the play, “Caesar in Modern Dress.”’ A new traffic and lunch system sprang up, with many changes taking place. Certain stairways were to be used for going up and certain ones for coming down. In January 1940 the Junior Class became the Senior Class, greatly lessened in number though still going strong. Peter Facos was chosen President, Aline [Tiny] Wells, Vice-President; Carolyn Cobb, Secretary; Ray Stansfield, Treasurer; and Joe Pamelia, Member- at-Large. The important event which took place during the first half of the semester was the 12B picnic, enjoyed by all who attended. In the latter half of the year our graduation pictures had to be taken care of, the Recorder had to be seen to, a banquet committee to be chosen, and a date set for our banquet-prom night. The class finally decided that it was to take place Wednesday, January 22, 1941 at the Highland Hotel. Historians: GERALDINE ANDERSON, Chairman WENDELL WRIGHT RAYMON STANSFIELD Sk
