(2 tall czMiitozij by Jeanne Brennan and Donald Keagan ★ Being such brilliant students of history (ahem), we have been selected to trans- port you on a magic carpet back across the great expanse of years to 1940. On a beautiful day in September we trudged across the park and entering the gates of this great brain-dispensary, we consigned ourselves to the four years of work and toil which lay ahead of us. After listening to A. J. ' s dictatorial statements on how to conduct ourselves, we spent the rest of our first day wandering thru the maze of corridors helplessly weighted down by a few trifles such as books, pens, pencils, pads, erasers, compasses, rulers and various other paraphernalia which had been forced upon us. Bob King as president, Janet Swanezy, vice-president, Shirley Malinowski, secre- tary, and Jimmy Lavery as our treasurer, were destined as class officers to lead us through our first bewildering but socially uneventful year. Being more intellectual and less brawny than the upper-classmen we let them take the spotlight in the field of sports, and were contented to wait for another year. As sophomores, we were determined to make a name for ourselves in the annals of N. A. H. S. With the help of Hally, who represented us on the gridiron and in baseball, and Sargent and Zeke LaRosee, who were our contributions to the basket- ball team, we succeeded in doing this. Bob King was again elected president and the rest of his cabinet included: Jeanne Brennan as vice-president, Helen LaCasse as secretary, and Phil Jones as treasurer. Finally the great day arrived when we became upper classmen and after two years of learning the ropes we now knew how to disrupt the tranquil atmosphere of the classroom without being detected. Joe Grimes, that hard-boiled politician with the help of a few cigars, won the election. To help him carry the staggering burden we elected Helen LaCasse as vice- president, Shirley Malinowski as secretary, and we had Ray Malinowski to care for the HUGE fortune we had in our treasury. Norteman, King, LaRosee, and Hall donned the red and white and went out for football, while Sargent and Hall held up our end in the world of basketball and baseball. In May we held the Junior Prom and showed the seniors how a really good dance should be run. Page Seventeen
