Senior Cfass Hz'story Four years ago when we first arrived at Cranwell we all had that natural shyness as is customary in new surroundings, but this was quickly conquered. and with it came the formations of new friendships which have endured during the most formative years of our lives. Letters were of major importance to us, and we recall our prefect scaling scented letters from the steps of St. Ioe's, our unrestricted scouring of the neighboring hills and hollows, our catch-as- catch can arrangement of selecting dates for our first dance, Murray scoring as Beansie in the initial Cranwell production and the election of McKeon as our first president.

Sophomore year came and with it the election of Campbell as president. Berchmans and Aloysius opened to meet the flow of new hopefuls. Highlight of the year was the trip to Worcester to see Holy Cross humbled by L.S.U. Murray was elected president for the third year and it was now that we really began to distinguish ourselves in sports, dramatics, and debating. During this year our gym was completed. Saturday nights we spent evenings of enjoyable recreation watching the cinema stars. The gym afforded Kapples, the brothers Delfino, Lopez, Conway and Richards an opportunity to sharpen their eyes for the basketball games. Morton, Holahan, Lopez, Lane, Cloney, Dischino and O'Neil stepped out to make a name for themselves on the grid- iron. For baseball, Linehan, I. Delfino, McKeon and Conway were our repre- sentatives. Big highlight of this year was the parents' week-end, and the color- ful horse show. Success at last . . . With the new year comes a new president in the person of Iohn Lufkin. War has cast its shadow over Cranwell so that some of us departed at the mid-term. Manns, Guinan and Molinari left to join the armed forces - Lufkin entered Yale and Tom O'Neil journeyed to Notre Dame. Se- niors led all students in sports events with Holahan, Linehan, Murray and Kapples captains of football, baseball, hockey and basketball. Major catas- trophe of the year was the sudden and untimely death of our beloved Fr. Iohn F. Cox. Fr. Maurice V. Dullea was appointed as our new Father Rector. Some- thing else also came with Fr. Dullea . . . Commando training. So it is with heartfelt sorrow that we seniors go forth to battle for God and Country, proud to be members of the first graduating class, which has completed the entire four year course here at Cranwell.
