I can scarcely believe that we are really graduating. For most of us, the time has flown by, but I suspect that it has dragged for a few. We all have vivid memories of our Freshman year. What a group of scared, gawky kids we were when we entered High School in September, 193'!'. Half of us went groping to Miss Myers’s room and half to Mr. Knox’s. Some of us looked twice at the number 13 on Air. Knox’s door, crossed our fingers and walked timidly in. Some room in which to start our high school career thought the superstitious ones! On the first day of school we all went to the assembly to hear Air. Pettibone whose custom it is, to welcome the new pupils to the high school. By now, we, as Seniors, have about memorized the speech and welcome. We have only one rule but finally the one rule developed into numerous regulations. After the first week we got situated and settled down to our new subjects— Algebra, English and some of us—Latin, and History, and others—home economics, agriculture and science. We were quite proud of our first class meeting. Eighty-five of us assembled in Miss Myers’s room and elected our class officers for the year. We chose Air. Knox for our advisor, Herbert Williams for President; Janice Stevens, Vice-President; Ruby Conn, Secretary; and William Peagler, Treasurer. Presidents of the following years have been, Katherine Keating, Thomas Gerber, and John Flynn. The first year we had a successful food sale, and did our small part to put on a social for the whole school. In our Sophomore year we gained two pupils, Thomas Gerber, and Harriet Crabb. To insure that we wouldn’t forget our childhood days we Sophomores had to humble ourselves by wearing bows on Alay 7th. The girls looked quite like their childhood days with their big bow of bright blue, blazing red, glowing yellow and rainbow plaids. While the boys were decorated attractively with hows and bow ties everywhere but where they should be. As Sophomore we had the privilege of joining and being initiated into the Dramatic Club. Some of the things that we had to do for initiation were quite terrible, but fun for those who didn’t have to “take the medicine.” Some of the things were, wearing one sock and one stocking, wearing large dog collars around our necks, carrying a doll and umbrella, measuring the front walk with a peanut, and worst of all while wearing and carrying these things, we had to go to each room and recite ridiculous nursery rhymes. We recall the two great social events of our Junior year. One was the Junior Prom which is always looked to with great anticipation, and backward with happy thoughts and pleasant memories. While planning for the “big event of the year” we chose our class colors, red and white, with which we used to decorate the hall. We had a garden effect on the stage, flowers around here and there, and streamers hung from the ceiling. We are proud to say our prom was a financial as well as a social success. Also in Junior Year nine of our class were in the Dramatic Club play, “Growing Pains.” Kav Keating, Tom Gerber, and Bill Saloeks, in leading roles—helped to make the play successful. One of the Senior boys in the play was sunposed to come on a slightly darkened stage wearing nothing but his underc’othes, but much to his embarrassment and the audience’s enjoyment, he came in a few seconds too soon. Our girls and boys both have held their own in athletics. For two years our girls have won the Housatonic League Championship. This year all but three girls on the team graduate and I wonder if the trophy will be ours next year. The girls on the team were: Janice Stevens, Harriet Crabb, Minnie Halpine, Ann Straub, Ruby Conn, Dorothy Law, Dorothy Slater, and Ruth Koehler. The boys were not quite as successful as the girls but this was due to the fact that they had practically a new team this year. But the boys fought hard each time and the score was tied several times and at two games it was necessary to play two overtime periods to decide the winner. The Senior boys on the team were: Joseph Nabonza, William Saloeks. Donald Pareells. and Walter Conn. Alanv of the boys in our class were on the football and baseball teams and the girls have participated in softball and field hockey. At last we became .Seniors. How we yearned to be seniors when we were put in our seats many times by older classmen. But now was our chance and wc made up our minds to be different from other Senior Classes and I think I am safe in saying that we accomplished our aim with the aid of our able advisor. Miss Campbell. We started the year off with a hot dog roast and an informal dance with music by our school amplifier. We had poda-sop” and “dancink” meaning soda pop and dancing, to the average senior! This system of changing letters about in words is strictly the boys’ idea but the girls have had to make themselves acquainted with the idea or else couldn’t have been happy” Seniors. We feel highly honored that we might have our get-together on a Wednesday night as always before our school socials had to be held on Friday nights. But as Seniors, Mr. Pettibone gave us special permission to hold ours till nine-thirty on a school night and maybe we didn’t think we were somebody. We also had another senior get-together at noon with lunch together and dancing until one o’clock by Jimmy Van Duzee and his amplifier, which since had become “Swing and Sway with Van Duzee.” Our noon social started the rest of the school thinking and wondering why they couldn’t have dancing at noon if the seniors could! So Juniors, Sophomores and even Freshmen ventured to have their so-called family gatherings. Finally dancing at noon became a general occurrence and the Future Farmers Association (F. F. A.) sponsored dancing every Monday and Friday noons for five cents. But even if the whole school could dance at noon hours, they couldn’t have hot dog roasts on school nights! On a cold, bright moonlight night in February, we all met at school with skiis and sleds and went up to Tommy Gerber’s home in Boardman. In Boardman are grand hills for skiing and we put them to a good purpose that night. One of the boys brought his large toboggan, and did that thing go!! Each time it went faster and each time we spilled” and rolled further down the hill. After all the girls and even some of the “Big Shots” boys’ faces had been thoroughly washed with snowballs and our clothes completely soaked; we decided to call it a day and all started off for Hipp’s and the Schaghticoke Diner, these being our favorite rendez-vous after our social events. But we must not forget the biggest happenings of all in our Senior year, the Senior Prom and Senior Play. The play, “Big Hearted Herbert” was a complete success. Big Hearted Herbert played by Junior Gerlaeh was just an ordinary, plain, loving conservative, old-fashioned father who did not believe in college for his son or anyone’s son and who cherished a brass cuspidor and a terrible old picture of his father. Kay Keating, expertly played the part of his wife, putting up with all kinds of trials trying to keep peace in the family between her two sons and daughter, her plain, stubborn husband. There were also ten supporting persons in the cast, six boys and four girls. Our Prom was not so much a financial as a social success. We gave it on March 17th, St. Patrick’s day and this gave us some ideas for decorating. I don’t think that we, on the committee, will ever forget how to cut out shamrocks. But the center of the hall was best of all. Dozens of balloons were put in the big green top hat which was attached to the ceiling. On this hat was a clever contraption conceived by members of the physics class. From the side of the stage someone pulled a wire and we held our breath—wonderful! It did work! The top of the hat opened and out floated the balloons. Also this year there has been a new system started for activity periods. Every Tuesday morning we have short periods and various clubs meet from 11:30 to 12 o’clock. Some weeks we have the French Club, Camera. Future Farmers, Home Economic, and Arts and Crafts. Other days the Service Club, Advanced Dancing, Etiquette and Math Clubs meet. The Service Club, one of the most important clubs has accomplished a few things in the short time that we have been organized such as fixing up the tennis and volley ball courts and shoveling snow from the walks and back of the school. We are planning to make a trophy case and find a suitable place for that and also put up some mirrors in the boys’ wash room. The Etiquette Club is for Seniors only, not that only the Seniors need it as the reporters of the school paper unwisely stated. It’s a wise person that knows when he’s wrong,” as the old saying goes. Each time we met we devoted the period to one specific thing, such as “Introductions,” “How to Conduct Oneself On the Street.” We also had a play, and these acted out by various members of our class. But the greatest and biggest event to undertake will be our class trip. We are planning to go to the World’s Fair by bus and expect to stay that day and as long as we can at night. This, of course will be the last time that our class will be together and we hope to make it an all-Senior affair and the best, happiest and most successful of all our four years together. But here we are now, really graduating at last, and feeling both proud and sad—proud to be graduating, proud to have carried through our school years successfully, and sad to be leaving such pleasant days behind us. Above all we are grateful to our principal, Mr. Pettibone, the faculty and the townspeople for making a short stay in the New Milford High School so pleasant and successful.
