6 Class of 1940 Cora Brown E, being the largest class ever to enter and leave Scituate High School, have done our best to distinguish ourselves in various ways. After everything was under control in September, we elected our officers for the year. Those elected were Sherman Gates, president; James Duffey, vice-president; Cora Brown, secretary; Ernest Dorr, treasurer; and Miss Dudley, class adviser. Sherman has been our class president for four years, and we are all very proud of him. Here we are, seniors at our dear school, and they seem to expect a great deal from us. The teachers are always saying, Now don ' t forget you are seniors. We gave them a surprise with a large number of names on the honor roll. Those who have blossomed out and got on the honor roll this year are Cora Brown, Carl Chessia, Jean Cole, Jane Crowley, Eleanore Drake, John Girard, Hope Gurney, Jean Hendrickson, Cecil Leith, Helen Poland, and Cornelia Weeks. Sherman Gates has twice presented us with a card of high honors. Those who have received honorable mention are Arnold Hewett, Suzanne Hill, Robert Holland, Rachel Merritt, and Eve- lyn Patterson. When is your social going to be? We were asked this many times, and on October 21, 1939, we gave them the most enjoyable time of their life. The danc- ing was grand, and nothing could have beaten the refreshments. It seems as though everyone showed up from everywhere when the class passed out the cider and doughnuts. The study hall and cafeteria seem to be the most enjoyable spots for seniors, although cafeteria life seems to be quite bad for some. Having just four at a table in the lunchroom seems to be quite a trial for some seniors, (especially girls) because they can ' t get along without a large crowd. Of course, our boys can almost always busy themselves with a book or an ice cream sandwich. Our class work seems to be of interest to almost all of us, especially the de- bates and discussions we have had. The discussions start out well with almost every- one expressing an opinion, but they end with one person on each side, — always the same two. These two delight in getting back at each other, and apparently are never at a loss for an idea. This seems to be about the only year that we were not asked to be in a speaking contest. Do you suppose it is be cause we don ' t need to be en- couraged to talk? When 1940 arrived, the Seniors relaxed somewhat. We knew it wouldn ' t be long before June, and thought that we might as well take it easy. We found out differently; they still gave out report cards. We are sorry that this is our last year here, and we hope that the future classes of this school will have as joyous a time as we have had.
