SMITH ACADEMY Class History In 1939, we stepped into Smith Acad- emy, thirty-nine freshmen. As our leaders, or class officers, we elected Edward Rem- iszewski, president; Chester Jablonski, vice-president; Stacia Slovikoski, secretary; and Joseph Woynar, treasurer. Mr. Carroll and Miss Lyons were our class advisers. In October, we were guests at a reception given by the Class of ' 41, and after that gay party we felt as though we really be- longed in Smith Academy. In December we ourselves sponsored a Christmas party for the entertainment of the other classes. We really did work hard to get up to a new start in 1940. The second year of our journey through Smith Academy was a little easier than the first. For our class officers we chose Henry Kugler, president; Chester Jablon- ski, vice-president; Helen Kosakowski, sec- retary; and Stacia Slovikowski, treasurer. Miss Allaire and Principal Larkin were our class advisers. In October we were the sponsers of a Hallowe ' en Party which prov- ed to be very successful. Also, during our sophomore year, three of our classmates — ■ Anna Burda, Stacia Slovikoski, and Helen Kacinski — were elected to the Pro Merito Society. This was also the year in which a Washington Club was begun, with about ten members belonging. For the third year of our journey, we chose Alex Olszewski, president; Helen Kacinski, vice-president; Frank Osciak, treasurer; and Phyllis Zembiski, secretary. Our class advisers were Miss Cullman and Mr. Kalloch. That year we sponsored the freshman reception in honor of the fresh- men, which also proved successful. Also in our junior year, we had our annual Declamation Programs. The following stu- dents were chosen to speak in the annual Alumni Prize-Speaking Contest: Henry Kugler, Julia Niewinski, Frank Osciak, Rita Godin, Eugene Proulx, Dorothy Ma- jesky, Richard Belden, and Anna Burda. The winners were: first-prizes, Henry Kugler and Rita Godin; second prizes, Frank Osciak and Anna Burda. For the fourth and last year of pur journey in Smith Academy, our slate of officers was: Paul Dickinson, president; Helen Kacinski, vice-president; Stacia Slo- vikoski, treasurer; and Phyllis Zembiski, secretary. Our class advisers were Miss Ryan and Miss Stoddard. In October we sponsored a square dance at which five dol- lars was raffled off. The proceeds of the dance went into the fund for the school gift. - In May, Mr. Larkin announced the Senior honors. The seniors whose good work during their four years qualified them as graduation speakers were Helen Kacinski, valedictorian; Anna Burda, sal- utatorian; and Stacia Slovikoski, third honors. For the graduation program Anna Burda chose for her topic, Philosopher of Freedom ; Stacia Slovikoski, After Vic- tory — What? ; and Helen Kacinski, De- claration of Independence. So our journey ended happily on June 10, 1943, with wishes for the best of luck to future classes. Mary Majeski ' 44 Anna Burda ' 43
