[lass flistek j After having been the big bosses of the Goodale Street Grammar School in our eighth year, it was a great let down when we entered Major Edwards High School to learn that we were the class that would be made the butt of all the jokes of the other classes and blamed for everything that went wrong. However, arriving with a battalion of twenty-seven members, we were able to defend ourselves fairly well against our oppressors. Although we were teased and jeered at, we were strengthened in spirit, when we seized Room 4, to find that the school ' s genius, none other than Mrs. Severance, was our class adviser. It was no wonder that we were considered inferior, however, since we were forever making mistakes, such as getting confused in our class rooms and passing on the wrong bell. At the beginning of the year, the faculty consisted of Mrs. Severance, Mrs. Gerald, Miss Howe, Miss Barrett, Mr. Chaffee, Mr. Fotis, Miss Reed and Mrs. Weaver. The last three were respectively replaced during the year by Mr. Namen, Miss Jennings and Miss Maguire. Early in the year, we elected our officers. Like almost all Freshmen, we had few activities. December 19, 1942, marked our best party, which was cele- brated in the school auditorium. The months passed quickly, and before we knew it, June was near which brought us both dismay and happiness since exams were approaching and the school year was ending. Our battalion wa s greatly demoralized by the thought of these terrible examinations since we had heard harrowing reports from the other classes about those taken in former years. Eventually, however, they were over and we were happy to say adios to our school until the following Sept. The day after Labor Day, we returned for our second year of high school. This time, however, our battalion was considerably weakened by the loss of six members: Costa Rotti, Guido DiPietro, Joe Ceredona, Frank LaComfora, Charlotte Reed and Clayton Primrose. Our class now numbered twenty-one students. We had no sooner become settled in Room 6, in charge of Miss Nut- ting, than we had to move to Mr. Namen ' s residence in Room 1. As soon as the officers had been elected, we settled down to school
