CLASS HISTORY September 9, 1940 Dear Diary: Today was the first of many days which we shall spend at Roger Ludlowe. Was it war that Sherman so aptly described in that much-quoted phrase, or was he too merely attempting to find that elusive elevator while a dozen odd fand we do mean oddj seniors directed him in thirty-six different directions? Well, we made it home safely anyhow, despite the fact that we had the brazen audacity to refuse our seats on the bus to seniors. The doctor seems confident that the black and blue marks will wear off in due time. February 16, 1941 Dear Diary: During activity period we invited the sopho- mores to our all-freshman assembly at which everything from soup to nuts was presented. But let's not call harsh names in these critical times! Yesterday we young innocents were intro- duced to the wiles of political intrigue, the re- sults of which were as follows: President, Bob Hatch: Vice-President, Jack Fitzpatrick: Secre- tary, Ann Huntington: and Treasurer, Nancy Eddy. , June 17, 1941 Dear Diary: No more pencils, no more books, No more teachers' dirty looks! September 4, 1941 Dear Diary: Well, vacation is over and faces everywhere seem so strange. fdidn't they always?j Any- how, here we are, big sophs--figuratively, of course, with the satisfaction now of not being looked down upon fit says herej as mere fresh- men. December 8, 1941 Dear Diary: This morning, the entire student body, not fully recovered from the initial shock of Japan's barbaric attack on an obscure little pinpoint on the map called Pearl Harbor, heard in the as- sembly of the formal declaration of war upon Japan. March 25, 1942 Dear Diary: Under the supervision of our oliicers, jack Fitzpatrick, Bill Wiehl, Ann Huntington, and Ann McGarry, our sophomore class gave a very successful roller skating party in the gym, at which approximately three hundred students spent hours on end--and enjoyed themselves at that. Need we explain? june 19, 1942 Dear Diary: This memorable date marks the end of our lowly status as underclassmen. We are ap- proaching, but fast, that critical age at which men are men and women are finally becoming aware of it. September 9, 1942 Dear Diary: Ho hum! another school year has rolled around. Contrary to popular opinion, the female sex is not the weaker one, as has been proven by the election of Dorothy DeVore as president of these here juniors. Dot is supplemented by Bob Hitchcock, Ann McGarry, and Elyse Nussenfeld. '
