SENIOR OFFICERS William Greele Mary Jane Nielsen .... Mary Fiori ...... Jay Kinigli ..... President I ice-President Secretary Treasurer Class of 41 The Class of ’41 again joins hands, but this time we say goodbye” to a pleasant high school career. We have been a good-natured class and have tried our best to build Leyden into a still better school. Now we pause to glance at ourselves in relation to school and the school’s relationship to us. We see several peaks on the road, but mostly we feel a keen spirit of unity within the class and a consistent, thoughtful broadening for the total good. Oh! We have individual leaders, too. but ours is the class most remembered for its willingness to sacrifice the individual for the general good. The boys have been the more aggressive-—why. as sophomores our class officers were entirely made up of boys; Ja Fmigh, John and Dick Doss, anti Bill Greeley. As juniors, with the thoughts of the prom and play and with the boys still holding the control of numbers. we elected Ethel Kotlow treasurer, to assist Edwin Malenius president. Hill Greeley, vice-president, and Dick Dess secretary. Friendlv rivalrv in salesmanship has awarded the girls two parties—the first, last year, after the very successful junior pla , American. Very Early”, and the other, following the diflicult costume play of the 1860's, Mignonette”. These showings again prompted us to do our best, for all hands joined to make a successful prom. Ours was the thrill of playing host at the first prom ever to be staged away from the campus and of being the first class to afford the privilege of bringing underclassmen to the affair. Vi llen the local chapter of the National Honor Society was given a charter in 1940, four of our class made up the junior membership. Additional members were selected in the succeeding vear. As seniors we assumed leadership and co-operated in the establishment of the new framework for a student council. We hope that this council will he of lasting value to the future generations of Leyden. We felt the school growth and with it the danger of losing that close contact of the older and younger students. So we co-operated again in the establishment of the Older Girls' Council. Hill Greeley , Mary Jane Nielsen, Jay Fmigh, and Mary Fiori served as senior officers to the largest graduation class to date—56 girls and 64 boys. As we approach June 19. graduation day, we wish to express awareness of and thanks for that deep bond of understanding evident in our able class sponsors. Miss Maloney and Mr. Wadsworth. SENIOR SPONSORS Miss II. Maloney; Mr. J. V. Wadsworth. 3
