CLASS HISTORY CC0llfflZll8dD Baird, Vivian Carroll, and Bernard Lee. Along the route we stopped at several places to at- tend the following social activities: the Girls' Banquet - the lunior Girls versus Women Faculty Basketball Cwe lostj - the Komian Play Cafter which several members of our class were selected for ThespiansD - and finally Iunior Prom which again had become formal. ' During one of our stops we bade farewell to Iames Marshall and Charles Rotolo who were leaving for the service and would not continue with us on our journey. Back on board we found that several juniors had been selected for the National Honor Society. Alex Skultety had been chosen football captain for the following year, and the girls were practicing for the Daisy Chain. Before say- ing goodbye for another summer, we chose our Senior Council members. The following fall we again met, very proud that this year we were to continue to our goal on a reconverted B-45 Superfortress. We were indeed coming up in the world. Our pilot this year was Edward Lobdell, Co-pilot, Pat Parma, Navigator, Iosephine Sliney, and Stewardess, Marge McNamara and Miss Garofalo, Airport Supervisor. Immediately many of the passengers joined first-aid classes while others continued selling roster cases, pennants and pencils. Class pictures were also taken and the idea that we were near- ing Success Airport was keenly felt by every- one. Our first social event of the year was the Senior Council 'Dance followed by the Hallo- ween Dance. Meanwhile our year was turning out to be a very successful one from the sports angle. The football team had an undefeated season. The All Sports Banquet and Football Hop were held in December. The Basketball team played in the New England Tournament in the spring. A Numerous students had the opportunity to be X-rayed for tuberculosis. More of our mem- bers were selected for the National Honor Society. In February, after much work and effort, the Commercial club issued an inter- esting edition of Commercialite which had not been published for a number of years. Soon after this we were in the midst of Class Day preparations and we realized that our plane was circling Success Airport. Amid the preparations for our landing we could not help sensing keenly the absence of those boys who had left us to join the services of Uncle Sam. As we finally received our admittance cards to Success Airport and walked down the run- way, we were obliged to admit that true to our motto, What I am to be I am now becom- ing, had truly materialized in each of our passengers.
