R A D I A T 0 R Y E A R B () 0 K 19 2 9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 9, 1926, the class of 1929 began its illustrious career in the Somerville High School as inferior, timid persons known as Sophomores. We were approximately 1,000 strong but very disorganized. However, after our Sophomore class election John J. Ilaycs, President; Dorothy M. West, Vice-President; Ann E. Cole, Secretary; and William W. Ingalls. Treasurer we felt ourselves truly organized and a real, vital part of our school. Our dues paid, we settled down to the time-honored custom of studying. Our first social function as a class was a well attended, very successful Sophomore dance. After a refreshing vacation we entered our familiar school in September prepared to pass a successful year. We soon elected our Junior officers President, John A. Rondina: 7ce- President, Dorothy M. West, Secretary, Ann E. Cole, and Treasurer, William W. Ingalls. Again after paying our dues, we settled down to the serious business of going to school. On the evening of April 27 we presented a highly successful Junior Night. A one-act play, the Lady of Pain,” was given, then came an entertaining melody in music and dance, which was followed by refreshments and dancing. Muriel Lowell, Beatrice Capidulupo, and Charles Casassa composed our very efficient committee. Toward the latter part of the year about twenty-five of our class were highly honored by gaining admittance to the National Honor Society, a goal to which all strive. In September, 1928, after a very long and pleasant summer we came to school to find a wonderful new building! We scarce thought so much could be done in a short three months. With old friendships renewed, with a long vacation in back of us and a fine new school at our disposal, we all made the firm resolve to carry on this, our last year, as never before. We soon elected our pilots to steer our class on its last voyage. The results were: John J. Ilaycs, President, Dorothy M. West, Vice-President; Ann E. Cole, Secretary, and William W. Ingalls, Treasurer. On the night of April 5 the Senior Class, through our fine Senior Play Committee — Charles Casassa. Beatrice Capidulupo, and Evelyn Cann and through the untiring efforts of Miss Bell, whom we sincerely thank, presented “A Pair of Sixes,vonc of the best Senior Plays in the history of the school. It was a success in every way. The cast was exceptionally excellent. At a very impressive assembly many new members were added to the National Honor Society. Affairs passed quickly. On May 24 our class held a very enjoyable Senior Dance in our new and fine gymnasium. Senior Night and Class Day passed all too quickly. And then we came to the end of our high school course — Graduation. As we look over our record of three years, we may well say that we have lived up to the standards and ideals of our school. We have supported the glee clubs, orchestra, band, debating society, literary clubs, and other such activities. We have supported our excellent athletic teams admirably, and many have attained high rank in scholarship. And in parting may we express a word of appreciation and gratitude to our ever willing, helpful, and sympathetic teachers? It will perhaps be years before we truly appreciate you, but at this time allow us to offer sincere and grateful thanks for your kindness and tolerance. So we leave, never to return, but the memory of dear old Somerville High days will linger forever. 21
