The statue portraying the famous explorer with his sextant and maps is chiseled in granite, and bears the official seal of Italian-American War Veterans. Constructed through the efforts of the United Italian-American societies and clubs of greater Springfield, the statue will long stand as a reminder of this coura- geous man. Robert Achin is putting the final touches on his water color reproduction of the monument.

The administration at Classical MR. RAYMOND MONTAGNA, PRINCIPAL From his speeches at the many assemblies which he addresses, students of Classical may easily observe that our principal, Mr. Raymond Montagna, is extremely proud of the many achievements of Classical during this school year. As the chief administrator of Classical for the past four years, Mr. Montagna has upheld the fine tradition of scholarship for which Classical is so well known. However, many new honors, both academic and athletic, have been bestowed upon Classical this year. Mr. Montagna feels that all members of the Classical community, both the stu- dents and the administration, should possess a sense of pride when they consider all that they have accomplished by hard work and cooperation. Our principal sincerely hopes that Classical will continue its fine work and maintain those honors which have made this such a “great year.” 10
