After discussing the possibility t)f changing the date of our Senior Phiy from February to November because of conllicting circumstances, we have voted to make the change, and try-outs must begin at once. We are faced with the loss of Miss Gray, our dramatic coach, who passed away suddenly the preceding summer. We are sure we embody the sentiments of not only the Class of 1940, but all classes that have preceded it, when we express our deep sense of gratitude for her tireless work and efforts in coaching our various high school productions. Miss Peabody has kindly offered to take over, and a play, The Promoters has been selected. The cast includes Levi Salonen, Mary Murray, Molly Riemer, Betty Steele, Edwin Pothier, Jean Callahan, Shirley Dawson, Francis Murphv, Phoebe Ann Hayes, Richard Tucker, Rose James, Emil Bazzy, and Dominic Yelapi. With earnest cooperation and hard work, we are sure that we can produce a play worthy of praise. November 17 — We have conquered again! Our Class Garbos and Barrymores have done an excellent piece of work. Edwin Pothier ' s witty remarks, and Levi Salonen ' s earnest belief in his uncle, as well as the fine work of the entire cast make the play one that will long be remembered. A few weeks later — Once more we walked to the polls — this time to elect our Yearbook Staff. Emil Bazzy was elected Editor-in-Chief, Maggio Ciancarelli, Art Editor; Ed Pothier, Photography Editor; Charlotte Kauffman, Literary Editor; Arthur Allen, Advertising Manager; and Robert Wiesmann, Circulation Manager. Much later — There has been much discussion whether to make our Senior Party a public affair to raise money, or whether to keep it private, and today we voted to keep it for seniors only. Preparations will soon be under way, committees formed, and another week will tell the story. January 5, 1940 — Tonight we are enjoying to the last degree our final party at the Norwood High School. We have banished our usual form of entertainment in favor of a comical skit, which kept us laughing from beginning to end. At this party, we are giving the major part of the evening to dancing, and only by the inducement of ice cream and cookies can we be persuaded to stop. Everyone seems to be having a wonderful time, and it is without doubt, the best party of our high school career. April 22— We are all agog with the thrill and excitement of preparing for our greatest social affair of all — our Senior Prom. Everyone is scurrying around with tickets, crepe paper, scissors, and a bewildered expression on his face. We are confident that we shall make this the culmination of all our social functions, surpassing all others in its success. That was the last page of that little diary. But it was not the last page of our high school career. For, our Senior Prom took place on April 26, and lived up to all expectations; and on June 4, approximately 218 members of the original 265 will proudly receive their diplomas. Even this, however, will not be the end for my class and the members of my class. Rather it marks the beginning of a new life for us all. It is true that it brings to a close three unforgettable years in the School on the Hill , but it is only the beginning of a new life, a life which is shrouded by clouds of mystery and glamour, but a life which we hope will be a trulv happy and successful one for our class — The Class of 1940. Charlotte Kauffman, Class Historian 19
