To you we pledge our loyalty, With hearts that are full of sincerity. Red carnation our flower will be, And in visions we shall see Dear old Higgins Junior High Which has given us hope that reaches the sky. Our class colors gold and blue. Remind us of our debt to you; Our mem’ries of you will never fade. As we pass on from grade to grade. Our class motto is “Try Again” Which will help us to ascend To our goal so very high. So to you we bid a fond good-bye. Geno Santandrea, Alfonse Misuraca. Through the years we’ve had our share. Of all the fun, here and there; But now we’ve ended Junior High, And it is time for a fond good-bye To Mr. Davis and our teachers, too. Who were so loyal, faithful, and true. We again travel the path of life. Through thick and thin, and in every strife. If we’ll stick to our motto, “Try Again,” I’m sure we’ll not lose, but always win. With this in mind, we’ll reach our goal. If we work with all our heart and soul. Each morn when we awake, the sparkling dew. Reminds us of our colors, gold and blue. And our class flower, the red carnation. Is the loveliest flow’er in all creation. Now comes the sadness, we all do sigh. For now we must say our last good-bye. Dorothy Damon, 8A.

Sept. 17 — In assembly today, represen- tatives came and explained about the coming magazine drive. Fred Haight was chosen captain of the red pirates and Billy Comstock was chosen captain of the black pirates. Miss Woods and Miss Twomey were chosen as the faculty advisers. The Reds won with David Beckman being high salesman. Fred Haight was second high salesman. The victors were entertained in February by the losers. Billy Comstock had to sing a solo. Sept. 30 — A day off to go to the four- town-fair at Somers, Connecticut. Our school participated in the track meet ; Broadbrook school won. It can truthfully be said that everyone who went had a good time. Oct. 6 — We elected class officers today. Next Tuesday we plan to organize the Student Council, at which they will take the oath of office and elect Student Coun- cil officers. Oct. 13 — The results of the election were as follows: Cyril Gordon, Presi- dent; Alexander Cybulski, Vice-Presi- dent; and Pauline Lamont, Secretary. Oct. 28 — You could tell that report cards had been given out by the looks on some of the pupils faces. In the eighth grade Dorothy Gourlie ranked first and Dorothy Damon ranked second. There were sixteen pupils on the honor roll in the eighth grade.
