Class DAY, one of the most eventful and colorful occasions in our school career, took place on Friday, June 3, 1938. The program was excep- tionally well arranged and had as an addition to the usual reading of the Class Poem, rendering of the Oration, singing of the Ode, presentation of the Gift, and the planting of the ivy, a group of musical solos by mem- bers of the class, and the reading of class history. Much credit is due the Class Day Committee, consisting of Isabelle Whitney, Chairman, Ann Conlin, George MacDonald, John Correia, and Umbert Carbone, for their splendid efforts in making this event so suc- cessful. Senior Night was held June 3 in the High School gymnasium. The gaily decorated hall, the favors, good music, and refreshments were all enjoyed by the Seniors, who appreciated the work of the Committee, headed by Dexter Locke, with Janet Flint, Alfred Duca, John Riley, and Ruth Cooke as assistants.

O N TUESDAY evening, January 4, as the house lights dimmed and the audience became silent, the curtain rose on our annual Senior play. It was a comedy in three acts, entitled “A Good Egg.” The entire action of the play took place in the living room of the home of Dr. Clayton, in Drury, Connecticut. After seeing our classmates perform so well in their roles of doctor, mother, servant, burglar, teacher, vamp, and policeman, it was quite difficult to picture them back at their desks studiously going over their lessons. The presentation was under the able supervision of Miss Jackson, and the Senior class may well be proud of one of the finest dramatic offerings ever given in our school. Senior Ploy

DuRING the past year the Radiator Staff artists have laboriously worked on the pictorial side of the magazine, and have successfully por- trayed numerous stories. They have also added a light touch with their humorous cartoons, some of which concerned members of the school. This year the staff included such competent artists as Marie Amelotte, Alfred Duca, Norma Morandi, Francis Pacious, Virginia Wilson, Stephen Fogarty, and Mary Philbrook. Special mention must be made of the excellent cover drawings displayed on the Radiator this past year. They have been color- ful, amusing, and in accordance with the seasons. Something new was begun this year in regard to the Year Book, the cuts used at the beginning of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior sections were chosen from those entered in a contest. This contest was for the members of the three classes, each drawing the cut for their respective class. The cut for the Senior Class was by Marie Amelotte, for the Junior Class, by John E. Zavisho, and for the Sophomore Class, by Priscilla Marsh. Radiator Staff Artists
