SMITH ACADEMY 11 Class History Friends and Classmates: We are going to take you on a voyage with us; not an unusual voyage, but one which is taken in the course of almost everyone ' s life. We shall turn our calendars back to the year of 1942, when our great journey started. In that year we started on our way, twenty-eight Smith Academy freshmen, with Mr. Bristol and Mrs. Fuller as our faculty advisors. Our class officers were as follows:: President, Edward La- pinski; vice-president, Victoria Zawacki; secretary, Marie Goeller, and treasurer, Velma Omasta. The member of our class to be chosen for the Student Council was Joan Bangs. As we journeyed along into our sopho- more year, we had twenty-two traveling along with us. At the head of this some- what smaller group were, president, Marie Korza; vice-president, Carolyn Kosior; sec- retary, Velma Omasta, and treasurer, Joan Bangs, with Mr. Larkin and Miss Connelly as our class advisors. Evelyn Szewczyk was the member of our class to be chosen to the Student Council. We sponsored a Hal- lowe ' en party which was declared a succ ess by all. At this social event the traditional Hallowe ' en stunts and games were enjoyed by all and a special feature was a fortune teller, Madame Zambini, impersonated by Gertrude Zimbiski. Refreshments of cider and doughnuts were served and the V. and T. orchestra played for dancing. One of our class members, Edward Lapinski, was also included in the cast of the senior play en- titled, Huckleberry Finn, in which he cleverly enacted the part of Tom, one of Huck ' s chums. Members of our class to take part in the annual prize speaking con- test that year were Evelyn Szewczyk and Edward Lapinski, who both won second prize. In September, when we began the third lap of this long ,hard, adventurous journey, only nineteen students were at hand to con- tinue to the end. At the head of this group we found as our president, Bernard Kacin- ski; vice-president, Laurence Stoddard; sec- retary, Marie Korza, and treasurer, William Mullins. Our class advisors were Mr. Jako- bek and Mrs. O ' Neill. Cur first class activity was sponsorship of the annual freshman reception, which was held in October. The committees were organized with the fol- lowing people serving on them: Carolyn Kosior, Velma Omasta, Evelyn Szewczyk, Shirley Labbee, Shirley Eberlein, Shirley Betsold, Laurence Stoddard, Barbara To- bacco, Joan Bangs, Pauline Widelo, Robert Pelc, and William Mullins, generally super- vised by Mrs. O ' Neill and Mr. Jakobek. We found the freshmen very cooperative and their willingness to carry out any stunt suggested added to the enjoyment of the evening. Music was furnished by the V. and T. orchestra. Members of our class who took part in the prize speaking contest were: William Mullins, Joseph Blyda, Shirley Lab- bee, Joan Bangs, Robert Pelc, Marie Korza, Laurence Stoddard and Shirley Eberlein. First prize was awarded to Joseph Blyda with Laurence Stoddard and Shirley Labbee both taking seconds. Members of the Stu- dent Council Were Joan Bangs and Joseph Blyda. Marie Korza, Joan Bangs and Eve- lyn Szewczyk proved to be our brightest members for they were named to Pro Merito membership for excellence in scholarship. We were fortunate to have two members of our class chosen to be cheer leaders, Shirley Labbee and Velma Omasta. The boys of our class participated in all sports. Joseph Blyda, Bernard Kacinski and Robert Pelc played soccer with Kacin- ski, Pelc and William Mullins participating in basketball. Shirley Labbee made her de- but as a thespian this year, as she was chosen for a leading part in the cast of the senior play, Almost Eighteen. The final year of our journey found the nineteen faithful travelers headed for the final goal — graduation. Our class officers were: President Laurence Stoddard; vice- president, Robert Pelc; secretary, Marie Korza, and treasurer, Velma Omasta. Class advisors were Miss Ryan and Mrs. Prus- zyski. No other members managed to be eligible for the scholarship honor of Pro Merito so Joan Bangs, Marie Korza and
