As Freshmen we seemed to make continuous mistakes and were always underfoot, much to the amusement of the upper classmen. Experience is a wise teacher, and so we became more confident and self-assuring as we entered our Sophomore year. I lere we became more ac- tive. were given more responsibility and felt as though we were a cog in a wheel of production. Now we wanted to go forth, to serve with our predecessors. Success was inevitable. In our Junior year capable persons had to he elected to guide the class through its two most important years. John Manzi came forth to serve as President. His assistant as Vice President was George Isaacson. Financial accounts were en- trusted to Nicholas I rasatto and correspondence was kept by Rita Bonusiewicz. Under the ben- evolent guidance of Mrs. Natalie P. Nic hols, our financial status inc reased. Our activities included the sale of refreshments at football games, sale of Christmas Cards. Skat- ing and Movie Benefits, a cold supper, and a Junior Prom. In February of our Junior year we received our class rings and were very proud on this occasion. In the fall we returned to school as Seniors and bent our efforts to selling sub- scriptions to magazines, a spaghetti supper and the all-hilarious Senior Class Play. The class worked very hard to obtain money for tlie class trip to the Nation s capital, since the annual trip was discontinued during the war. Those three days will live with us through all eternity. We returned to school filled with vigor to prepare for graduation. During the warm days of early June we had our prom with the Juniors as our guests. Class day followed when parents and friends were invited to listen to the prophesy- ing and willing of talents from Seniors to Juniors. Dressed in our caps and gowns in the audi- torium. Sunday night was marked for Baccalaure- ate Service. And then at last—graduation night. For four years we worked hard to be present on that occasion. Speeches were made, prizes awarded, we were happy; and yet within us was an empty feeling, for we were leaving our high school. Sixteen DENA F.

I reasurer Junior Class History I lie Junior class was formed in late September. 1945. The first task was to elect our offi cers. 1 hey are: Victor Montemayor. President; Louis Primavera. Vice- President; Lucy Colanzi, Secretary; and Fred Barbato. Treasurer. Mrs. Lentz was to be our lone adviser. I he first ac tivities that we undertook were those of selling candy at school and of selling hot dogs and other refreshments at the football games. We cannot forget how hard the refreshment committee worked for the profits that we acquired from these two activities. I hen. of course, there was that important activity of selecting our class rings. Once the class was started there was no stopping it. Pencil sales. Junior Prom. Christmas card sales, and movie benefits soon followed. The New Year was greeted by an anxious class with the determination to finish their junior year successfully.
