FRESHMAN CLASS The record ol the Class of 1939 stands out as an example of achievement, ser- vice, and enthusiasm. An enviable scholastic standing, coupled with excellent ex- tra-curricular prowess, has given the class a lead start. That this class performed inestmable service in the shaping ol' the 1935 Blue Bulldogs is attested by the tact that over thirty Freslnnan boys answered the Fall summons to the gridiron. Most outstanding was Tony Peverada, the only Freshman to gain a permanent post on the varsity. Track season found many of these 'ggers in togs, and Edmund Mrowka and Edward Montgomery won their varsity letters. The girls, also. have distinguished themselves in athletics. Over fifteen lassies reported for basketball, two of them winning places on the varsity sextette. Nine Freshman girls reported lor practice on the newly-lor med girls, tennis team, and the ever-popular pastime ol lfeld hockey uncovered many bright prospects. Along scholastic lines, this class has taken no back seat. Each quarter has found a large number ol' Freshman on the Honor Roll. The Classical Forum's membership was swelled by fifty-two. Margaret Crozier, Dorothy Moran, John Iaques, and Robert Hay represented their class on the Junior Red Cross Council. Anne Folsom and Edith Palmer were members ol' the debating team. .

SOPHOMORE CLASS This year's sophomore class will go down in history not only as most brilliant, but also as one of the most aggressive classes of the school, for its members are especially prominent in athletics. In the fall, Emilio D'Arcangelo, Robert Sey- mour, Walter Quinn, Norman Vance, and Emilio Sangillo were active on the foot- ball team. The 1936 championship basketball team included VValter Quinn, winner ofthe George H. Vinal Cup, James Markley, and Richard Carson. iWarren Blake, second state champion of the 50-yard dash and one of the best sprinters in the state, helped win victories for our unbeaten natators. Track letter winners were Robert Seymour, Donald Rich, William Fossett, and Chester Dubowik, and the baseball call was answered by Norman Vance, Robert Seymour, and Emilio D'Arcangelo, of football fame. In the spirit of service Betty Honan, Gladys Bickmore, Staton Curtis, and Sidney Cox have continued their work on the Red Cross Committee. The girls' basketball team saw Dorothy Walp, Mary Connolly, Anna Cayio, Marilyn Morris, and Catherine Greely in its most active ranks, and on the swimming team were Barbara Currier, Rachel Knowles, Beatrice Lucas, Dorothy McLewin and Annie Libby. Three sophomores-Thelma Higgins, Dorothy Walp, and Linwood Pin- ansky, were oflicial cheerleaders. Robert Robinson, Marilyn Morris, and Warren Webster were out for debating, and the drum and bugle corps and band included Robert Cleaves, David Kelsey, james Greely, Irving Woolf, Owen Durgin, and Melvin Finkelstein. A class so active is thus well prepared for the junior year. E131 A
