Senicvz. 01644 All Seniors will agree that the four years spent at F. A. were really happy ones, in spite of the fact that ours was the first class to learn the disadvantages of a short noon hour. Some of us spent our Freshman year at Diven. The unfor- getable event of that year was a dance sponsored by the Student Council. The officers chosen to represent the Sophomore Class were Robert Valois, Esther Hood, Edwina Ford, and Henry Rogers, president, vice-president, secre- tary, and treasurer, respectively. VVe were so pleased with their leadership, that Hob and Esther were re- elected for our Junior Year with Carol Cleveland, secretary, and Dan Furey, treasurer. VVith the arrival of junior Day, we felt. for the first time, like actual upperclassmen. As Seniors, we settled down to enjoy completely, the social aspect of school life, and chose Ben Brown, liugenia Marks, Henry Rogers, and Doris Chamber- lain, for our officers. Initiated this year was the memorable Senior Prom, held December l9 in the gymnasium. The class of l942 considers it one of the outstanding events of their Senior year. The Student Council Carnival was a great success. john Barnett was crowned king, while Dorothy Cox reigned with queenly grace and beauty. A new idea was adopted for the annual Senior Musical, a piano concert by Hans Helm. On the evening of April 24, The Crocus Hop heralded the beginning of the Spring activities of the Seniors. The Senior Play, an amusing comedy entitled 'tEver Since Eve, was one of the highlights of the year, starring jane Snyder and Richard Markowitz. Senior Day brought our activities to an end with the banquet and dance. Our feelings of accomplishment are mingled with regret as Graduation draws near. We will miss F. A. and will look back to our school years with pride and happy memories. eil 18 Ee

President A,AA.,,..... ,,,..,..., B en Brown Vice-President ,,,,, ,,..,.,,,, E ugenia Marks Secretary ,,,,.., ,,,, D oris Chamberlain Treasurer .... ,. ,,,, Henry Rogers Dear Classmates, Time marches on and we march with it. In a few short weeks these halls will know us no more. No more will we be urged to Get to your room before the bell rings , no more will Mr. Parry herd us, when tardy, into the ofhce, nor Miss Kellogg grudgingly hand us an early excuse. Dr. Helmkamp may still lead the assemblies and Miss McMahon guard her study hall, but we will not be there. Of course, all these little attentions, so justly deserved by us at some time or other, will, in a few short years, blend in with our fond memories of school life at the E. F. A. We will recall the day when as timid Freshmen we entered these hallsg how we grew into carefree and fun loving studentsg how in the course of time we rose successfully to the stature of Seniors. VVe will long remember the friendships we have made when much we otherwise have learned may be forgotten. VVe owe much to our teachers and in your name I sincerely desire to thank Dr. Hempkamp and the other members of the fac- ulty for all that they have done for us. None of us can know for sure what life i11 these uncertain times may hold in store for us, but as good Americans we face that future unafraid and with ambition. May success and happiness come to all of us. Sincerely, BEN BROVV N i lg all 19 gl
