of Seniors with Kit Carson as manager. Seniors on the team were Lynch, Pace, Osborn, Peck, Johnson, Pitchard, Peyron, Weiss, J udson, Franklin, and Emmons. THE N INTH GUEST DRAWS RECORD AUDIENCES What bustle and excitement getting ready for this thrilling mystery! Almost the entire Senior class hammered, sawed, scrubbed, painted, cut and sewed under the direction of Mrs. William Sloan to create the beautiful modernistic penthouse that was the set. How the audience jumped -when the lights flashed from the electrified door and chair, when the guns went off and when Kit Carson and Kent Johnson staged a thrilling :fight with their figures silhouetted in the blue light! There were ticklish moments when blank-s were duds and when Paul Rhoades, who was supposed to be a corpse, almost choked trying to hold back an attack of coughing. MESS MERVVIN GIVES PARTY FOR SENIOR GLASS Miss Merwin said in a rash moment that if the Seniors would sell 500 tickets before the play, she would give the whole class a party. It was quite a party! Joe WVanwick penformed on the drums 3 Ricky Lynch sang An Irish Lullaby, and the quartet gave Michael Finni- ga.n.', The house shook when records were played fortissimo at the same time as Donald Thomas played Boogie Woogie chords on the piano and Joe really went to town on the drums. We fwonlt forget the cookies, especially the fbrownies, and that boiling hot cocoa. SENIOR PROM CELEBRATES ST. PATRICK'S DAY In honor of St. Patrick the hall was decorated with green and white streamers, big and little shamrocks and green pipes. Something new was introduced as the school queen, Eugenia Lewis, was crowned in a colorful ceremony. The crown was a halo of white roses. George Beardsley and his onchestra provided the music. PUTTING OUT THE YEAR BOOK OCCUPIES MANY SENIORS Under the direction of Mrs. Quist with Lois Place as editor and Bill Peck as assistant editor, most of the class worked to put out the important Yeanbook. NEW MILFORD BASEBALL TEAM UNDEFEATED, WINS 14 STRAIGHT GAMES AND LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP! What a baseball season! We will remember many an exciting game, especially the championship game against Washington played at Litchfield. The ,Seniors who have played on the team are Paul Osiborn, Stanley Kiwasnierwski, Ricky Lynch, Bob Feller, and Vincent Lucas. WAR HITS HOME We, as 'a class, have felt the strain of war throughout our four years of high school. As Freshmen we saw the beginning 3 as Seniors we saw V-E day and as we leave and march. into the world we'r-e hoping for V-Day. During these four years many of our boys have en- listed and during this year we have lost James Volinski to the Merchant Marines, and Joe DeCosa and James Armstrong to the Navy, and Kit Carson to the Marines. Many of the others are awaiting orders. LARGE CLASS GRADUATES FROM NEW MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL This is itg this is what we've been waiting for-graduation! Tonight we're all wondering, wondering what.it is going to be like and realizing that from now on what hap- pens to us is our own responsibility. As we leave we wish to express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Knox, Mr. Williamson, and to our teachers who have guided us through these past years. We also wish all of our classmates entering the service the best of luck and God-speed home.
