THE PHILOMHTH --4 7 millIIllllllnlllllllllullnluulllnllunInulnunnllullnnnn llllull I lxlllu ulnull llzll nullnuln Iuulunnnuunnnan nunullm Glagu Juzaaq Almost everybody remembers that dur- ing the afternoon of the 21st of September, 1938, a fierce hurricane left its indelible mark on almost every village and town in New England. What everybody does not remember, however, is that only a few weeks previous to this almost unprece- dented event, four hundred and thirty- four subtle sophomores had breezed into F.H. S. to assume their first real posi- tions of responsibility. This invasion would seem to be unimportant, but such was not and is not the case, and we hope to prove so conclusively in this article. From the first day of school until the mid- dle of October, we were seen but not heard. At that time, however, we ate our way into the hearts of the seniors in a most expen- sive manner at the Senior-Sophomore dance. Our first big accomplishment was electing as our class advisor, Miss Emily that we extend for all she has Hall. At the same time our most sincere thanks done for us during these three years, we wish her every success in her chosen field of matrimony. Towards the end of our first year, we elected class officers. We were the first class to use the new method of elections devised and adopted by the Student Coun- cil. Our leaders were James Ward, presi- dent, Teresa Maschi, vice-president, Irene Buianowski, secretary, and Daniel Sulli- van, treasurer. In the fall of 1939, four hundred and one judicious juniors answered the roll call at dear old F. H. S. We proceeded to elect the same class officers, but joan Lynch replaced Irene Buianowski as secre- tary in the middle of the year. Through the year we helped with such worthy proj- ects as the Christmas Box Drive, the Stu- dent Association membership drive, sports activities and the school publications. We voted in favor of retaining the design for class rings and pins selected by the three previous junior classes. We ended Junior- Senior week by presenting, positively, the most successful junior Prom in the history of the school, from both the standpoint of profit realized and enjoyment dispensed. We ended our second year at F. H. S. by helping the Seniors with most impressive graduation exercises. On September 9, 1940, three hundred and fifty significant seniors fought for and gained admission to F. H. S. for the third time in as many years. The results of our class elections were as follows: Charles Alexander, president, Marjorie Willard, secretary, Teresa Maschi, vice-president, and Daniel Sullivan, treasurer. In the fall we gave a dance in honor of the sopho- mores. Music was by Marty White and his band, NOT from the usual phonograph records. Later in the fall, we gave another dance, in honor of the football team, this time. The hall was effectively decorated with dummy football players. The home room director became a thing of the past, when the S. C. authorized the organization of a Boosters' Club, with Mr. Riordan as its advisor. Each home room elected one boy and one girl representative to the club. In this yearls Christmas Box Drive, the Boosters established a new record for boxes filled and families cared for. On April 25, with the aid and assistance of Miss Neal, that supercolossal production 'fjune Mad was presented to a full house. Our better actors and actresses, led by Pauline Rocheford and james Geehan, left us many pleasant memories of a daz- zling, daring gown and a homemade CContinued on page 681
