SMLTH ACADEMY Class History In September of 1940, we entered Smith Academy thirty-nine ambitious students. As our first class officers we elected Edward Zima, president; Henry Betsold, vice-presi- dent; Marion Mullins, secretary; Cory Bard- well, treasurer. Miss Lyons and Mr. Carroll were our first class advisors. We were feted with a freshman reception given by the class of ' 42. There we all had a grand time, and Marion Mullins and Edward Malinow- ski captured first prize for the best per- formance. In December we entertained the other classes at our Christmas Party. In 1941, we began our sophomore year with only twenty-two students. We elected Edward Malinowski, president; Albert Vach- ula, vice-president; Sophie Pinkoski, treas- urer; and Mary Hafey, secretary. Miss Al- laire and Mr. Larkin were our class advis- ors. It was in this second round that we entered the other classes at a Hallowe ' en Party. This second year was a happy one for most of us. Our third year in Smith Academy found us with only seventeen members. Our class officers in that year were Edward Malinow- ski, president; Sophie Pinkoski, vice-presi- dent; Irene Zelewicz, secretary; Edith Fili- pek, treasurer. Our class advisors were Mrs. O ' Neill and Mr. Jakobek. In October, we honored the Freshmen at the Freshman Reception. In December, Cory Bardwell and Mary Majeski became members of the Pro Merito Society. Members of our class tak- ing part in the Alumni Prize-Speaking Con- test in 1943 were Edward Malinowski, Helen Kochan, Edward Paszek, Irene Zelewicz, Mary Majeski, Edith Filipek, Henry Betsold and Verna Skorupski, with Sophy Cackowski and Charles Drake as alternates. First prize for the girls went to Irene Zelewicz and second prize to Verna Skorupski, while sec- ond prize for the boys went to Henry Bet- sold. In our senior year we had a roll call of eighteen members, for Albert Vachula had come back to S. A. from Smith ' s School. Our class officers for this year were Edward Paszek, president; Edward Malinowski, vice-president; Irene Zelewicz, secretary; and Edith Filipek, treasurer. For this final year our class advisors were Miss Ryan and Miss Stoddard. In January, we produced a play entitled Huckleberry Finn, the proceeds of which went into the fund for the New York trip. In May, the honor stu- dents were announced as Mary Majeski, valedictorian; Irene Zelewicz, salutatorian; Verna Skorupski, third honor student. These three students spoke at the graduation ex- ercises. Our journey ended happily on June lo ( 1944 with wishes for the best of luck to future classes. MARY MAJESKI ' 44 VERNA SKORUPSKI ' 44
