Qfass cifisfo my CHARLOTTE M. CILLEY In Septe1nbe1', the year nineteen hundred and forty-one, a class of young, eager boys and girls embarked upon a voyage which was to take them through four glorious years of work and fun. Now, four years later, We find these same boys and girls at the end of their journey with hearts and minds filled with joy- ous memories of days gone-but not forgotten. just to prove that they are not forgotten, or ever will be as long as this page remains in this book, we will attempt to lay bare the goings-on, in the past four years, of the best class ever-the Class of ,45! '41-'42 Good historians always begin at the beginning, so back We must go to that golden day in the fall of forty-one. There isn't a Senior alive today who doesn't remember that day and year when we gazed at the ship that was to sail us through a year of tedious and irksome work interluded with parties and fun. Soon after we boarded our ship, there came the important task of choosing our oHicers and we found an efficient team in Steve Weglarz as Mayor, Dot Merrill as Treasurer, and jean Courtemanche as City Clerk. At the second-term elec- tions, we found our leaders in the persons of George Barry, Robert McCarthy, and Normajean Joyce, and we all agree they did everything that we could ask. This year's travel, 011 the high seas of education was loaded with pleasant mem- ories of the formal party, which outside Graduation, was the highlight of the year. Graduation found us smiling, though a little tearful at the thought of having to leave our good little ship, which was really the smoothest-sailing of any we ever had. However, we left her, diploma in hand, to go on into a sum- mer that held so many vacation pleasures. ,42-'43 Back again-this time to a larger ship Where we received advanced training in our chosen courses of work. Our second year was in full swing when we had again to choose our leaders. The outcome of our voting was: President, George Barry, Vice-President, Steve VVeglarz, Secretary, jean Courtemancheg and Treasurer, Robert McCarthy. It is said that Pilgrim made Progress, and we can truthfully say that throughout this entire year Sophomores made Progress, thus making our position one of distinction. This yearis powerful seniors threw a Barn Dance, to which we flocked-one and all-to have about the best time of our training years. Following a lot of hard work, we again bade our ship adieu and left for a short summer vacation-a vacation that was to give us strength to come through the next year with flying colors.
