Is it possible that, but four short years ago, we, as inexperienced seamen, eager to unfold the mys- teries of the deep, set forth upon this, the first major voyage of our lives? Our log is now com- plete and we can recall, as if it were only yester- day, the first insertion we apprehensively made in the bold. blank expanse .... SEPTEMBER, 1945 The first step of the humble Freshman Class was to elect officers to pilot them through the stormy waters of the first year. Michael Lazor was elected Skipper with Iohn Maffucci, lean Gallagher, and Alice Sabo as his competent assistants. Miss Verena Deuel shared a great portion of the re- sponsibility for the first lap of our voyage. The Class of '46 gave us a warm reception to launch us on our journey. That day we were attired in various odd-looking garments which rendered us almost incapable of ordinary recognition. Iean Gallagher and Elmer Kenyon almost missed the boat when they were captured by the seniors and forced to serve as mascots for the day. MARCH, 1946 The first entertainment to be provided by the class of '49 was a successful spring dance. The success of this dance and the year in general gave CLASS us something to look forward to in the three years yet to come. SEPTEMBER, 1946 After a full, free summer we, as young seabees. are back and ready for the second lap of our journey. This year found us again guided by that capable captain, Michael Lazor. Edward Croke. Dominick Cabriele, and Iohn Maffucci, served as second, third, and fourth mates this time. Miss Marion Hennessey gave our crew her able guid- ance this year. MARCH, 1947 True to the expectations of our freshman year. we again held a dance for which we received much well-deserved praise. And an unusual dance it was! Those who attended were carried into an unknown phantasy and believed themselves ac- tually walking on the bottom of the sea, for our dance was called the Undersea Jamboree. SEPTEMBER, 1947 Our Iunior year is now beginning and we are setting sail on the third lap of our journey, confi- dent that our last two years will prove to be the 24 11-wma

HISTCRY best yet. Again under the direction ol Michael Lazor, we got off to a good start. Dominick Cabriele, Iva Mary Moore, and Iohn Maffucci assisted the captain in this difficult task. NOVEMBER, 1947 The Iuniors got otf to a flying start at the N. T.- W. I. football game where they sold hot dogs. soda, and apples to the many rooters. FEBRUARY, 1948 This busy leap year year encouraged the girls as much as possible by having a leap year dance on February 28. This dance was perhaps the big- gest hit of any of the dances sponsored by the Clas of '49. One and all turned out for this gala occasion. MAY, 1948 The time has come tor which many of us have been waiting all through high school-our chance to give a prom. The gym has been decorated in delicate pastel shades and it is truly a lovely sight to see the girls in their lovely evening gowns R Y, x, R , N- fX xx. 5 and the boys stepping out in tux, etc. lMary Biros was crowned queen of our prom.l SEPTEMBER, 1948 At least we are seniors! After a grand and glorious vacation we are back full of vim, vigor and vitality for the last and greatest year of our high school course. Everybody is on board and ready. Michael Lazor is elected for a fourth con- secutive term. On the slate with him are Edward Croke, Nancy Scribano, and Livia Rocchi. Mr. Orloff Story and Mr. Lawrence W. Hynes, two weathered seamen, help pilot our boat this year. According to the true tradition of the sea, we must welcome in the Freshmen. Although we cannot have an initiation, we will give them a frolic which they will never forget. IUNE, 1949 Our senior ball has come and graduation, too. We have arrived at our destination, but we are missing one dear member of our crew. We are now departing on our second and much longer separate voyages and regret that we must say ship,ahoy to dear old N. T. H. S. K 1 A J ANN TAYLOR and MARION SKIBA 1. , .
