Steadfast and strong; To thee with loyal hearts, we sing this song Swelling to heaven high, our many praises ring; Hail, Higgins Junior High, to thee we sing. II Hail, Higgins Junior High!

(Slims ijtistflrti u Time Marches On.” This statement, created and popular- ized by newsreel cameramen and the motion picture industry, has come to be a symbol of progress and activity. The “March of Time” presents a vivid, con- cise review of the news all over the world. We have borrowed the phrase as the theme of our class history. Looking forward two years ago, the road seemed very long, but all too soon we have come to the end. With our imaginary news- reel camera, let us turn back the pages of history two years, and examine in quick review the highlights of news con- cerning the “Class of ’39.” A group of young people gathered from various parts of the town on Sep- tember 7, 1937, to enter the first year of junior high school. This group of merry pupils were shy, but very eager to learn all they can in this short length of time. We find them looking forward to a year of health, progress and happiness. We hope that the clear, cool weather is an indication of what the future holds for us. On September 16 we started our first extra-curricular activities by helping the eighth grade in their annual magazine drive. The leading salesmen in our class were Edward Knight and William O’Brien.

The first report cards tell the (Elasa Purm School days full of work and pleasure, Friendships hard to part; Happy times beyond all measure, Thoughts that fill the heart. There are work and pleasure waiting, If we strive our share to do; With a courage unabating, And a heart that’s ever true. Now the time has come for parting, From the Higgins Junior High; We will try to raise your standards, Ever upward to the sky. Sidney Bushnell. story of progress during the first two months. There were nineteen pupils on the Honor Roll. On November 16 the basketball team for 1937-38 was organized. Players from our “Class of ’39” were Michael Panella and Stephen Triola. Hopes are high for a good team during the coming year. On November 24 a news flash of spe- cial importance! Off for Thanksgiving Vacation! We hope everyone will not have to take Castor Oil after the big feast. During December the Higgins School joined the battle against tuberculosis by carrying on the annual sale of Christmas seals.
