Juniors CLASS MOTTO - Our Time ls War Time CLASS COLORS - Red, White and Blue PAGE TEN CLASS FLOWER - Carnation IN SEPTEMBER, 1939, we, as humble freshmen, entered high school. We were put under the supervision of Miss Evans, who gave us a good start for the years to come. We did not elect officers or have dues. The Freshman Class of 1939-40 had 60 members. In 1940, we became Sophomores. We were put under the supervision of Mr. Gaffney. At the beginning of the year we decided to pay dues and elected the following officers: President, Robert Miller, Vice-President, Mary Frost, Secre- tary, Dorothy Furner, and Treasurer, Marion White. In 1941, we became Juniors. There are 4-0 members of this class. At the begin- ning of the year, we elected the following officers: President, Francis Brennan, Vice-President, Mary Frost, Secretary, Jeanne Wenzg Treasurer, Marion White. The Junior Class has been active this year. Our first social function was a dance which was very successful. We purchased our rings and edited the Saghda- quadah Siren. Rosemarie Blackstone was editor and was ably assisted by the other Inembers of the staff. The class has been represented in sports by the following: Bruce Cameron, Ernest Yager, Robert Miller, Richard McGurk, Joe Kehoe, Leo Allen, Lester Brockway, and Walsh Duffy. Mary Jane Jones, ,lean Bullard, and Lucy Weigel were members of the Varsity cheerleading squad. We are looking forward now to becoming dignified Seniors and hope as such to be worthy of the name.

f 1-v-c 4 The Student Council THE STUDENT COUNCIL began its second year of organization under the leadership of the officers. The President, Betty Tuttle, has been ably assisted by Jeanne Wenz, Vice-President, Betty Miller, Secretary, and Joyce Jones, Treasurer. The Council has had a very active year. It has selected the assembly programs for next year. The program includes-uThe Jester Mysteries . uTaber-Natural History, Animals , 6'The Ballet , HThe Bently Trio , and the baseball hero, Grover Alexander. The Athletic Banquet for the Sauquoit Valley Central School was served by the Council and seemed to be enjoyed by all. The most important undertaking of the club was the assumption of the responsibility to improve the discipline in the halls. The 6'Monitor Systemi' was adopted by the student body after it had been proposed and given a fair trial. The organization of this system has been carefully planned and executed. It consists of two major bodies: The Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate consists of the four officers of the Council plus one repre- sentative from each grade. These ten members make the laws concerning conduct in the halls and sit as a jury to decide cases presented to it. The House of Representatives is the thirteen monitors chosen by ballot by each home room. These monitors parole the halls during the passing of the classes. They also check on the conduct of the pupils. The names of the violators of the rules are listed by the monitors and submitted to the Senate. The violation of rules is classified as Major or Minor offenses faccord- ing to the severity of the offensej. Five minor marks are equal to one major mark. The offenders having a major offense for five minorsj are excluded from one assembly program. These assemblies are given every two weeks by some members of the student body or the faculty. A pupil receiving two or more major marks is given an additional punishment prescribed by the Senate acting as a court. The monitors wear arm bands for identification and command the respect of the student body. The success of this system has meant a real achievement not only for the Council but also for the student body. The assuming of responsibility and leadership in this age is a real task of education. The pupils who learn this through actual use and experience will be well prepared to assume their place in the world. We hope our HMonitor Systemi' will become a permanent organization and that its results will be far-reaching. PAGE NINE
