Class of 1947 History On September 3, 1943, we were the first class to enter Farrell Senior High School as freshmen. Under the direction of Miss Bessie Struck, our class advisor, we elected our class officers: William B. Anderson, president; Nicholas Cindea, vice president, and Iris Hatwood, secretary. As members of the Freshman Class, we participated in all of the school activities that were open to us. The following September, we, as sophomores, helped to sponsor the newly organized canteen where we enjoyed the dances and the entertainments held in the Junior High School Gymnasium. For our class officers, we elected James Pedas, president; Thomas Lewis, vice president; and Irene Zipay, secretary. Our class ranked high in the sale of war bonds, in the salvage collections, and in the clothing drives. When the curtain finally closed on our second year, we looked forward to our third adventure. We are grateful to our class advisor, Mr. Lewis Sarcinella, for his active interest in our class affairs. As Juniors, under the guidance of Miss Julia S. Wallace, we elected our class officers: George Salem, president; William B. Anderson, vice president; and Rose Marie Fazzalore, secretary. We devoted our time and efforts to studying and to participating in all of the school organizations and activities. How proud we were when we completed our third year successfully. Everyone who attended it praised our Junior-Senior Prom. We are grateful to Mr. Paul Komar for planning and assisting with the decorations for the Prom and to Miss Julia Wallace for her never failing guidance in making it the Prom of all Proms. At the Class of 1946 Farewell Assembly, we were happy to see our class president accept the cap and gown, the symbol of another step toward our final year in school. When we attended the 1946 commencement activities, we were delighted to see so many members of our class in the Honor Arch and in the Honor Guard, after their having attained a ninety or better average in their scholastic work. Under] the direction of Miss Esther Zentz, our class advisor, we were determined to make our final year a success. We elected our class officers: Jack P. Monaco, president; William B. Anderson, vice president, and Irene Zipay, secretary. We selected our class motto, “Endeavor Forever,” suggested by Magdalene Petrick; our class flower, the white gardenia; and our class colors, green and white. During the year, we published our yearbook, “The 1947 Reflector.” On November 1, 1946, we enjoyed the Senior-Junior Harvest Dance where Virginia Low ruled as queen. We also were active in all of the school affairs and helped to make the canteen a success. On December 12, 1946, at a special assembly, we bade farewell to Mr. Carroll D. Kearns, our superintendent of schools, who had resigned to become a Congressman of the United States. At another assembly on December 17, 1946, we welcomed Mr. John Hetra, our former high school principal, as our new superintendent of schools, and Mr. Anthony J. Pintar as our new high school principal. We pledged our loyalty to them. After much study and hard work, we finally reached our goal! We were honored guests at the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom. We enjoyed our Senior Class Breakfast after which we presented our Farewell Assembly and bade farewell to our school, our schoolmates, and our teachers. We enjoyed the class day activities at Conneaut Lake Park. On May 27, 1947, we proudly stepped to the stage to receive our diplomas. We were proud of the honors that many of our classmates brought to the school during the past four years in scholarship, athletics, music, citizenship, and school activities. Wc shall “Endeavor Forever” to bring greater honors to our school, our community, our state, and our nation, as the years roll by. —Marguerite Biga.
