JU IUH EL 55 We entered high school with only 85 mem- bers, the smallest class in the school. We de- cided then and there that it didn't matter. To get off to a flying start, we added two dollars to our bank account by winning a prize in the annual rally day parade. Our officers were, President, Bill McFadden: Vice-President, Mary Ellen Ferraino: Secretary, Susie Mannella: and Treasurer, Alice Neilson. Although we had a good year, we did nothing of any importance, in a social way. We became sophomores with high hopes, re-elected our officers, and, realizing that we were now becoming upper-classmen, decided to make ourselves known. After much plan- ning we had a party, and with all taking part, it was a success. Reporting to the study hall was fun. We were the last class to ring the buzzer for a whole year. More fun! When school opened in September, this year, one division was pleased in reporting to the newest member of the faculty, Mr. Funair. Mr. Feronti, the history teacher, left us to take another position. Mrs. Taylor filled the vacan- cy in a gracious manner. Within a few weeks some of our classmates left us. Bill McFadden moved to Canada: Lon- nie Marrone, Betty Marrone, Frances Scilingo, and Helen Ribber went into war industry. We are proud to have two names on a service Honor Roll: Bill Cherry of the Marines, and Wal- lace Benson, the Navy. The arrival of our class rings caused great excitement. Needless to say, we were happy, displaying our jewelry, different from the others because of the open back. Another unusual feature, this year, was the purchase of hats, shields, and pennants in bril- liant green and yellow wool felt. One of our social achievements was a class party held in the gymnasium. The music was provided very easily by the Athletic Associa- tion's juke box. UP 1943-1944 In the high school tin-can drive, we did not succeed in having a bigger collection than the seniors and came out in fourth place. We had to help the seniors sponsor the party for the entire high school. We are proud of having so many taking part in athletics. Iohn Aiello, Gindy Pistner, F rank Costanzo, and Bill Leahy played basket- ball: Iohn Aiello, Louis Pupo, Edward Clerkin, Louis Thompson, Merle Sprague, and Ralph Cosentino were on the football squad. Next 'ye-ar's co-captains will be Gindy Pistner and Bill Leahy. Arthur Weilacher has done excep- tionally well as manager. For a time he was assisted by Dana Soule. Susie Mannella and Scotty Neilson were peppy cheerleaders from our ranks. Our class was represented on the Athletic Council by Vice-President, Lucy Cald- well, and Secretary, Alice Neilson. The girls' basketball team was especially progressive. The following were members of the team: Captain, Mary Ellen Ferraino, Lucy Coldwell, Susie Mannella, Alice Neilson, Mary Ann Dworsky, Doris Hendrickson, PeqQY Eck- ert, and Mary Ann Bressler. Members of the class on the Rambler staff were: Assistant Editor, Mary Ann Bressler: Bus- iness Manager, Alice Neilson: Sports, Lucy Caldwell. Class reporters were Iohn Smith, Susie Mannella, and Eva Diulio. The officers this year were: President, Alice Neilson, Vice-President, Arthur Weilacher: Sec- retary, Lucy Caldwell, and Treasurer, Peggy Constable. The class colors are green and yellow: the flower, the yellow rose: and the motto, Efforts lead to success. We have been trying hard to live up to these inspiring words. The next and greatest venture for the lun- iors will be the Annual Banquet and dance. By the time this book is published we hope our plans for such an auspicious occasion will be completed.

SAGA UF THE SUPHU UHES Should you ask us of our first year, Of our early days as Freshmen, In this worthiest of high schools, We would tell you how in August Of the year one nine four two- We assembled in our classrooms To pursue a higher learning. Miss Galante and Mister Davies, Mister Quigg tthree patient peoplel Were our first reporting teachers. Uncle Sam called Mister Davies To the service of his country. Mister Keats came to replace him, But at Christmas time HE left us. We were taught by Mrs. Harvey 'Til our Freshmen days were over. To us these changes were confusing But by New Year's we were settled, And we held our first class meeting. President was Richard Nelson, Frederick Hagberg, his assistant, Lizzie Warner c'lected money. El. R. Bloam was secretary. ln our sports we were outstanding. Basketball brought us high honors When we out-played Sophs and Iuniors. Then came Spring with school romances, Fishing season, and vacation. We have told you of our first year. Now we'l1 tell of our experience Of our thrilling days as Sophomores. We the merry mischief makers Now reported to Miss Wallis- In her science laboratory, In Study Hall to Miss Schreiber. Football season was exciting- Five Soph huskies made the first team. Mrs. Brown, our music teacher, Tested our angelic voices. History classes grew much larger When we met Mister Funair. Change of office in November Brought us Buckskin as our leader, As his side-kick , Richard Brady. Clara M. was secretary. Dues collected-M. Zelehoski In December at class meeting We chose beautiful class colors- Blue for loyalty and honor, Gold for standards high and noble. Now our crew hats, in these colors, Mark us as the worthy Sophomores Social life came to us slowly, But AT LAST we had a party. Iuke-box music, gallant partners, Swell refreshments : gala evening. Some of us, more scientific, Formed a club for Sophs exclusive. Studied we the microscopic Creatures, cells, crystals, algae Half our high school days are over. Soon WE'LL be the upper classmen. Looking backward, looking forward, Now we ask ourselves these questions Were we EVER like those Freshmen? Can we EVER reach the hilltop Climbed by our illustrious Seniors? Iohisoo -- 33
