work in the Language Department; Miss Gould returns to con- duct Home Economics-classes. Mr. Steward continues his work in the Manual Training Department, and Mr. Walsh and Miss Hackett again take over their respective classes. Miss Johnson still writes the excuses which admit us to our classes. During the summer we lost one of our dearest classmates, Richard Erickson. Dick , as he was knOWn among us, was well liked by all the students and members of the faculty. All who knew him felt his absence deeply. Soon we decided that it was high time we gave the green Freshmen a proper initiation, so we held the Freshmen Recep- tion late in September. As usual, evaryone certainly enjoyed the program, as well as the refreshments consisting of ice cream and cookies. At the first class meeting the class officers were chosen. Marcel Wallet was elected president; Richard Allard, vice-president; Sabina Yakubec, secretary; and Elaine Gilmore, treasurer. Mr. Walsh was again chosen Class Sponson The Senior play, Early to Bed, Early to Rise , proved a success. Helga Oscarson, Helen Nelson, Marcel Wallet, Max Eatoh, Faith Broadwell, Leo O'Connor, Elaine Gilmore, Rita McGarry, Richard Young, Joyce Walsh, and John Ravellini were members of the cast. Mr. McCarthy leaves his position to join the armed forces, and Mrs. Walsh takes over. Shortly after, Mr. Steward accepts a position at the Speery Gyroscope, Long

September, 1942, finds us trying to fit into the shoes of Seniors who had gone before us. Many familiar faces were seen on the faculty, but among them are some whom we had not met before. In the Physical Education Department we find Mr. Adams replacing Coach Birt, and Miss Wing following in Miss Carlisle's footsteps. Mr. Rising has taken OVer Miss Mccammon's vduties 1n the Junior High English Department, and Mr. McCarthy thus replaced Mr. Wolcott 1n the Social Studies Classes in Junior High. Miss Renehan has left us, and we find Miss Fairley in the Music Department. We find that cupid hasn't been idle, and is the cause of our losing Miss McCormick. Mrs. Edwin Johnson very capably resumes her duties once more in the Cemmercial Department. Many alumni remember the days when Mrs. Johnsqn taught commercial sub7 jects before her marriage, under the name of Miss Colson. Again we are glad to see Mr. Call handling his classes very well-twith the help of his cardst. Miss Stevens resumes her

Island, New Ybrk. Mr. Belcher replaces him in the Manual Training class, aha Mr. McGregor conducts classes in the Shop course. Frances Monahan leaves us to accept a Civil Service position in Washington. Carol Fortier has moved to Spring- field where she is attending Springfield High School. As the half year drew to a close, we find another of our classmates leaving us. This time it's Gordon Anderson leaving for the Army. We were proud to learn that Rita McGarry was chosen D.A.R. girl of our class. She has been active in many schxa activities. 2 Also at the half-way mark Miss Wing resigned from her duties as Physical Education Instructor, and is replaced by Miss Macdonald. Returning from our March vacation, we find that we must call Miss Stevens by her newly-acquired name, Mrs. Farman. Most of us find it rather difficult to get into the habit of addressing her as Mrs. Farman, end she is still Miss Stevens to the majority of the students. An event which is very popular during the senior year is the basketball .geme between the boys and girls. Julius Zapponi won the prize for his costume. The girls were rather disappointed when the final whistle blew, and they learned that the score was 52-22 in favor of the boys. A farewell perty was given by our Senior class for John Ravellini, Marcel Wallet, and Ralph Alberieo, who later
