T ' i 'f SENIIJB CLASS UFFICEIIS , President ........,.. Marshall Hammond Viee President William Frederick Secretary . . . Carolyn Brown Treasurer . . Arlene Frederick CLASS llISTOBY PITTSFIELD ADVERTISER June 6th, 1942 OBITUARY The many friends and acquaintances of the class of '42 will regret to hear of its passing away on june 8th, nineteen hundred and forty two, at which time will come to an end the youthful preparation of this honored class. Born in Pittsfield on September 12, 1938, with an enrollment of 75 members, this class of inexperienced freshman elected as its officers the following: John Freese, presidentg Marshall Hammond, vice-president, Carolyn Brown, secretaryg and Margaret Gosline, treasurer. Their first mqior activity was the tragic Freshman Parade for the preparation of which they were comman- ded by the haughty sophomores to search the attics of Pittsfield, long coated over by the dust of the years, to find regalia that were deemed suitable for such an Qinj? auspicious occasion. Always socially inclined, they enjoyed life at the fullest when they were invited by Mr. Purinton to attend the I Am You Are party at Powers Hall. Peals of laughter reached the lofty rafters as the gay group danced the merry hours away. Great was the power of persuasiveness of the talented group that engaged in the Freshman Prize Speaking. Never shall be forgotten the forceful speeches of W'illiam Frederick, Maxine Pushor, Ann Milliken, and Ewart Hodgins. Thus came to an end our first year of scholastic service. . In the fall of 1939, because of great financial burdens, we elected the following as officers: Marshall Hammond, presidentg John Freese, vice- presidentg Jeanne Palmer, secretaryg and Velma Morse, treasurer. So great had been the demand of the Alumni that we again engaged in Prize Speaking, and this time Lillian Goodell and William Frederick were regarded as the most estimable. Lest those who are left to mourn our departure forget, we wish to remind them that as moreiproof of our exceptional ability, Williard Lehr, Jr. was awarded the Oldham Debate Medal. This was the first time that a soph- omore had ever received this medal. 'Twas in this year that the M. C. I. orchestra decided that they needed money to invest in music' but found it impossible to carry on without the leadership of the sophomore class. On this gala occasion of the Pop Concert, our talented class members exhibited not only musical ability but culinary art as well. Thus came to a close the second era of a brilliant class. The time for election now rolled around, and when the ballots were counted, it was found that Donald Ayer had been chosen president, Jack 1201 4? ,, ,ag 'X 4.
