CLASSIC MYTHS President's Address EDWARD NICCARTHY It is, indeed, with heartfelt joy that I extend to'you, parents and friends of the graduating class, a most cordial welcome this afternoon, to enjoy with us here, the last informal assembly of our high school days. In a world torn by war and rampant with militarism, uwhat right have we to be joyous, you perhaps ask? We are about to receive a reward, a prize for which we have labored for four years. We shall soon be presented with something of which we may be proud, and of which you. too, in our behalf. may well have the same feeling. Can not we, then, feel a bit happy this afternoon? Moreover, we earnestly desire that you, each and every one, share in our satisfaction, cvcn if it were only for this after- noon. To our loyal principal and to our understanding teachers. who liaxe so often smoothed the rough places, go our sincere gratitude and appreciation. But for you, indeed, we should be poorly equipped to take our place in the uncertain world of today. It is you. the educators of today, who mould the leaders of tomorrow. May we not be pardoned for desiring to be among the latter? Once again, a cordial welcome. cc nv

CLASSIC MYTI-IS Class History NANCY ROBERTSON The good ship Classical,, once more docked to pick up the motley crowd who waited expectantly to board the boat. Timidly, amid great confusion, the aforementioned - you and l - ascended the gang plank under the critical stare of the more experienced crew. Scarcely two weeks passed, during which we followed minutely the misguided orders of our superiors, when, tearing down the coast at ninety miles an hour, came an unprecedented storm - a hurricane! The boat was badly damaged but fortunately for us the good ship 'LNorth came to our rescue. Although the capacity of the '4North,7 was greatly over-taxed, through the efficient cooperation of Captain Sherwin and Captain Fenner and their respective officers, the passengers were able to pursue their necessary duties. No longer could the upper classmen taunt the new travelers, for here all alike had to readjust themselves to a new ship's routine. Sports activities Went on with more than usual vigor, for we gained supremacy over our hosts. Still awaiting the reconditioning of our ship we continued our second year of our training cruise in the Northil. On shore leave the boys, hockey and tennis teams won the championships among Worcesteris four ships, and rated second in basket- ball. Entertainment on ship board was of the best with our lovely Connie lVlcKerroW and capable Billy Dorman taking part in the Christmas play, HGuest House, Very Exclusive , under the able direction of Mr. Post. At long last, on April first, the entire passenger list of the 4Classical'7 boarded its own vessel once again, and for the second time the Class of 1942 fioundered around trying to learn the situation of various staterooms. It was good to be back cc 11+ rx
