Class History September 1943. The class of '49 was starting its career at the Hartford Junior and Senior High School. In a few weeks we w-ere well acquainted with the building and began to feel right at home. Remember how busy we were! There were the Junior High Carnivals, assembly programs, and poppy posters. The supper the girls gave at the practice house will long be remembered. It was served by candlelight and the faculty and the boys in our class were invited. Junior High was bubbling over with school spirit in those two years. September 1945. As full-fledged members of Hartford High School, w-e entered the front door and took our places in Rooms 1 and 9. With Miss Fan-sher. Miss Van Deusen, and Miss Jameson as our sponsors, we started out a prosperous year with sixty members. Cater in the year Miss Jameson left school and Mr. Gates took her place. Our class officers were: President—Anthony Romano; Vice-President- Harold Mock; Secretary-—Charlotte Parker (who left school and was replaced by Violet Romano); and Treasurer—Robert Kendall. Much to the surprise of the rest of the student body, our class took first prize in Stunt Night. We presented a mock, “hill-billy” wedding with Alyce Twiss as the happy bride and Harold Mock, the miserable groom. We ended the year on a happy note by going to Dike Morey for the day. September 1946. Back once more as Sophomores, our homerooms were 6 and 7. Miss Johnson, Mr. Jurras and Mr. Hall were sponsors for our class. Among the students who did not return that year were Clyde Moore, Kathleen Kingdon, Charles Colodny, and Richard Mayo. During the year we had four new members—Doris Jacobson, Barbara Merritt, Betsy Nicora, and Jean Forbes. Our class officers were: President—Paul Chapin; Vice-President—Anthony Romano; Secretary—Anna Baldasaro; and Treasurer—Alfred Gauthier. With Miss Johnson’s assistance, we organized an exclusive Sophomore camera club, “ 1 he Photobugs.” Later this club was opened to the rest of the school. Our skit for stunt night was a “come-as-you-are” party. Much to our disappointment it only took third prize. We ordered our class rings and eagerly waited to become Juniors so that we would have them. September 1947. We had our big class banner hanging in Room 3 and we are sporting our new class rings. We were beginning to diminish in size. Among the missing faces that year were Marjorie Coutermarsh, Allison Lane, Allen LaFoe, and Donald Santaw. During the year Robert Kendall, Mary O’Connell, Jean Forbes, Elsie Fogg, Jean Leonard, Lenroy Nott, and Robert Packard left us. Our class officers were: President—Paul Chapin; Vice-President—Anthony Romano; Secretary—Anna Baldasaro; and Treasurer—Harold Mock. Although the class was small in number, it wasn’t lacking in ideas. With Miss Barton, Miss Kingsbury and Mr. Buley as sjwmsors, we settled down to work. A few days before Stunt Night a skit was literally thrown together. 1 he effect must have been good, because we again took first prize. 24
