K. farewell, Are many things we'd like to tell. With her we've all enjoyed our stay, We'll think of her from day to day. Turn back the page to Freshman year, When everything to us seemed queer, And think of all the fun we hadg Forget occasions that were sad, Our Sophomore year, not long ago, Was better still as we all know. We had some fun at class affairsg Forgotten were our schoolroom cares. Our Junior year was oh! so fine! Until reports came out to sign. Our junior year went by so fast, The many happy days we passed! But now we're leaving Senior year And all our friends who are so clear, We'll all remember dear S. K. And cherish her through all our days.

K. We herded self-consciously together for mutual protec- tion against the forbidding upper classmen, but to our surprise they accepted us as contemporaries. Thank you, S. K. , for having instilled in them your warm spirit of good will. To guide us through the mazes of our Hrst high school period, we chose: ROBERT SCOTT .......,.... .............. P rerident MARY MACINTOSH ........ ......... V ire Prerident CHARLES Sci-iocic .......................,.......... Trearwer MARY HOLLEY ............................ ...... ...... S e cretary Our Freshman year was spent fervently attending to scholastic accomplishments, our only activity being a class party at which, aided by several game members of the faculty, we gamboled with the abandon of young colts. During that year we decreed our class colors to be a striking black and gold. We approached our Sophomore year assured by the fact that during our Freshman year we had conducted ourselves with decided dignity and confidence. During the fall of '58 we shifted the leadership of the class to: ROBERT SCOTT ......... ...,.....r.... P reridenz ANN ELDRED ...,....... ......... V ice Prerident WILLIAM BELL ........ .................. S errezary CHARLES SCHOCK .................................. Trearurer Social events became more interesting as we became familiar with high school customs and a class party and a Whist and Dance were successfully engineered under the able supervision of appointed committees. The highlight of our Sophomore year was the receiving of our class rings - We felt that at this point we really belonged to In September of '39 we returned to S, K. life with a fresh glow and exuberance - at last we were to be denominated and catalogued upperrlarfmen. We quickly designated the following as officers of the class: THAYER WALES ..........................,........... Prefident BERNARD To'rH ..... ........ V ice Prefidenl GEORGE HOPKINS ........ , ............ Treamrer MARY HOLLEY ......,.............................. Secretary An executive committee for the purpose of planning social events was elected by the students. Social life pro- gressed pleasantly under the apt guidance of the committee which adroitly managed a class skating party. With equal astuteness the committee also launched a class movie and a Whist and Dance as money raising projects for the benefit of '41, Thus our junior year came to a termination, and we were suddenly faced with the overwhelming pros- pect of our Senior year and all that it entails. When we returned the following September, it was a bit disheartening to realize that it was the last time that we would be coming back to share student life with S.K. . However, customary routine soon discharged our universal apathy and the class was soon immersed in diverse senior activities. We unanimously reelected our junior year ofiicers who had aptly proved their ability. A new executive committee was selected and with its sanc- tion a class movie and Whist and Dance were successfully sponsored. Before the Christmas holidays the class desig- nated by a vote their choice for class photographer, and a Year Book Staff was selected with the aid of the faculty. We have already entered the last semester of our Senior year and Commencement is approaching - our emergence as courageous stallions into an unknown future, which is bound to claim us, is close at hand. As individuals we have all obtained some strength of character and a more en- lightening perspective which we can attribute to the guiding influence of S. K.'s principles. We thank you whole heartedly, S.K. , for the full days which we have passed within the shelter of your endearing friendliness. M.

The town certainly has changed. It looks more like a metropolis with its high, modernistic buildings. The greatest change, however, is in good old S. K. H. S., which has doubled in size during the last decade due to the addition of a gymnasium, an auditorium and another small building. It certainly is very thrilling to see once more the gigantic sign blazing forth with, Welcome Class of 1941 . I turn into the parking space and notice Doris Arnold, Mary Holley and Kay Bannister entering the school. Both Doris and Mary are nurses at Bellevue Hospital, while Kay is private secretary to Cassius Van Merle-Smythe, Esquire, the famous Wall Street hnancier. While I am parking my car, up drives Ruth Atkinson, who is now writing for the Narragansett Times , in her new model without a steering wheel. That famous cop , Frank McKinney, invented this novel automobile. He says it greatly reduces night accidents. Mary MacIntosh is with Ruth. Mary writes the famous society column Party Line in the South County News . At the door I am cordially greeted by Mr. Conlon who finds time to attend even though he is an extremely busy man. I decide to wait just inside the door to see all my old classmates as they enter. Arthur Diana, a truant oihcer in a large New York City high school, is the next arrival, he is followed by Marion Cottrell, head dietitian at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Janice Hathaway, Mary Davis and Louise Franklin appear shortly. Janice is now living a happy married life in Southern California. She has amassed a tremendous fortune by her discovery of a run-less stocking fa secret of coursej. Mary has a big question to decide. Six hospitals are urgently requesting her services as a nurse, and she can't come to any decision. Such are the woes of fame. Louise is rather prominent these days. She has just been appointed secretary to the President. Here comes Robert Doran. He is the superintendent and architect of the recently completed, and much-lobbied-for Mid Saugatucket Bridge which has its easterly terminal at Lewie's. This feat of Civil Engineering saves Miss Cummings many weary steps. Greetings now to Virginia Holland and Rita Marquis. Virginia writes sentimental verses for a large valentine company, and Rita is teaching French in a private school in Chicago. Here is Dorothy Hynes whose new cook book should be very interesting to some of our newly married classmates. She is dietitian at West Point and certainly knows how to please the men. Mr. Conlon just told me that joseph Papa and William Hill will not be able to attend. joe has a big pool match scheduled for tomorrow in Bermuda and Hill is working at the Douglas Aircraft factory in California. ff,- h i 4-. ii -Y W Arriving now is Margaret Fitzpatrick who has recently purchased a large comb factory in the Middle West You have probably seen her latest product the Margaret Miracle Minute Manicure Set With her are Eleanor Roberts and Norma Turrisi who are the landladies at the Mouldy Matrons Manor a home for aged ladies. They appear lively as ever in spite of their occupation. A telegram has just arrived from Emelio Papa who works for Walt Disney Studios. He sends best'wishes but cant come because of some rush work on Rose Red . In the doorway now appears Franklin Woodmansee He is perfecting plans for an inexpensive and simple wood-chopper. That Hashy car that has just whizzed in belongs to the New York playboy Edgar Timothy Timrdly jack Wescott enters He can tish in leisure now on the income from his delightful Parfum De Polecatte Close behind Wescott'come Ina Perry Edith Fitz- gerald and Helen Crandall Both Ina and Edith teach at the new fireproof Peace Dale Grammar School Helen is a telephone operator. She says that she enjoys keeping up on current events Mr Conlon is calling everyone into the new assembly hall to see the special March of Time produced by that ace Hollywood photographer Thayer Wales which shows pictures of some of our classmates and their occupations. There are however a few more still coming. Emily Andreas that famous novelist and Alvirta Cooke one of the foremost beauticians at M. G. M. have just arrived followed by Cora Browning and Margaret Stedman. Cora is a commercial teacher right here at South Kingstown High, while Margaret, the calory expert is located in Wash- ington where she is reducing the national debt. And last but not least I see Charles Monroe. Charlie has an excellent position with the McCray Exerciser Company. Harry says that if their exercisers will invigorate Monroe they will be a success with everyone. The movie opens with a picture of Edith Easton, a current attractive New York model, boarding the New Super Skyway Stratoliner which is piloted by Arthur Caswell and Stuart Clarke. I hear that they are saving money to finance an expedition to the Sahara Desert in search of the nearly extinct red skink, a very valuable animal. Ethel Allan is the hostess on this luxurious airplane. Here is a shot of Lois Burdick's Rhode Island Red chicken farm. Now we have some syncopation by Hugh Deacon and his orchestra, Hugh has replaced Gene Krupa as No. 1 drummer boy. William Bell and john Curatola play with him and Eleanor Martella does the vocalizing. Now a picture of the United States Senate where William Bateman, the youngest person ever to become Senator, sits contentedly with a pencil in his mouth and his feet in the air fexcept when speaking, 'sg ...ig- .:--4' igig Zig- E - ll N A ,as cgi, ,is ' L: A e 19 30 '?l, xx 'Q N! , Q , , I J I y , , fr n , J 4 The scene changes to the S. K. H. S. gymnasium where Susan DiSalvo girls basketball coach is showing her team how to put em inthe hoop Now the Boston Opera House where Alvera DeCubellis will make her operatic debut next Monday. Next a picture of Virginia Terminisi's beauty salon at Narragansett the Riviera of the Atlantic coast. The smiling face of Gloria Hagberg chemist now appears fbehind a test tube on the screen. She has won fame for her discovery of an inexpensive method for manufacturing laughing gas. Who would think that two of our classmates would be in the circus? Well here is a picture of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus which has recently added Grace Faella acrobat and Alfred Folcarelli alias Superman lI'j the strong man to their personnel. Here is another picture for the athletes. William Hathaway is shown putting his R. I. State basketball team through its paces in the new million dollar gymnasium at Kingston. The team has continually overscored the team of 1941 The U. S. S. Unsquelchable' a new heavy cruiser now looms before us. She is Captain Walter ackson s ship. . Here is a picture of pictures showing the famous works of art in the Holley and Taft Museum of Fine Arts. Shirley and ane are busy artists as well as collectors Hold your hearts goils for here comes a picture of john Kain better known as Airol Flin the famous star of those romantic adventure movies. He has just completed another film entitled 'The Quest of the Golden Fleece or Casey Captures a Blonde '. Here is a real surprise. William James has been named manager of the next Olympic Games. UA torrent of talk , that's what they call Viginia Rose, who claims that she can vibrate her organ of speech even more rapidly than Irene Rich formerly did. There is a picture of Edward Mellen, The Animated Billboard . He has recently donated his valuable exterior to a leading political party. Now we see Robert Scott, president of a large insurance company. Here are some shots of Dewey Sylvia's automobile showroom in Providence. Harold Smith and john Thomas are working in his used car department and Bob Perreault tests his new models. One of the outstanding features of Sylvia's business is his new stock due to a constant turnover. Hollywood again. This time Nina Flewelling is teaching the latest dance step to Doris Steadman and Ruth Easterbrooks, two new actresses. Still West, but in Texas, we see Evelyn Weeden who owns the famous W Bar Ranch where she breeds America's finest horses. l .AL A, 4, The great humorist of all time, Clifton Whaley, now appears. He has superseded both Benny and Allen, thereby ending a long feud. More singing to quiet troubled nerves, this time by Grace Champlin, the Marion Anderson of the new decade. White-uniformed Dr. Americo DeSista now looks out on the auditorium from the screen. Dr. DeSista, as you probably know, discovered the liquid that dissolves the appendix. Here are pictures of some of Iona Fitzgerald's dogs and cats. She runs a pet shop near Sugar Loaf Hill. The following two are athletic members. The National Crocheting Contest winner, Roberta Hazard, and Lois Perry falias 18 in 50 or diej, the holder of the women's golf championship. Now we see Donald Holland, the only passport photographer to obtain a real likeness. There is Edwin Potter's plane in which he has just flown around the world non-stop. The plane was refueled while in the air. Look out, criminals, for here comes sleuth Hopkins. George has joined the Secret Service, and he assisted in the recent capture of the notorious criminal. Slaughter Sam . Both Doris Wilson and Mildred Sunman are in Africa where they are trying to improve traveling conditions. There is no doubt about it, our classmates certainly get around. Another very different airplane designed by Margaret Shippee is now shown for the first time. By means of this invention she is trying to crash into the Flying Cadets School. The beautiful new glass building we see before us houses the artificial flower shop belonging to Carolyn Holland. The beautiful floral decorations in the auditorium are the gift of Miss Holland. Here we are in the Sunny South where we see Donal Stewart engaged in his delightful occupation. He is head judge of the Florida beauty contests. He says business is legging a little right now, but he expects figures to be better next fall. Well the movie is all over now, but the fun isn't, for we have all been invited to the streamlined soda and ice cream stand which is managed by Radcliffe Healy and Bernard Toth. Now That I leave a very happy day behind I sincerely hope that we shall have another equally gay reunion in 1961. F.ditor's note: Charlie Schock, the author of the above compendium, has recently completed plans for an enormous bridge over the Atlantic. This is for the special benefit of Miss Linton, advisor of the class of Q41, who once said that she would go to Europe if she could drive all the way.

We entered the doors of South Kingstown High School three years ago, and in this short time have proved that life with the class of '42 is anything but dull. Our third year started with the reelection of last year's officers and the arrival of class rings. The first social was a roller-skating party at Christmas in Fagan's Auditorium. We plan to run a movie and a dance later in the year which we know will gain for us unprecedented social prestige. We are enjoying this year at South Kingstown High and hope to raise our social and scholastic standard to an all-time high. E.

JANET KEEGAN Freshmen We, the hopeful class of '44, entered S. K. in the fall of '40, We were kings from whence we came and had been at the top for one whole year. Now we are freshmen, lowest of all but probably the happiest of all. Our band was a large one, a hundred and twenty strong, We have held several assemblies during the year. During this time we have discovered abundant talent both in the art of speaking and the playing of musical selec- tions. We held a Christmas party which was a joyful and happy occasion. At the present time we have our minds and hearts set on having a real party before the end of our first year at S. K.

With the exception of the football team all of last year's squad reported and practiced every other day until after the football season. The practice started in earnest about the middle of November. The season opened on Dec. 7 at Westerly where we were defeated, 53-28. From then until the twenty-fourth ,of january South Kingstown was not defeated. The team had the longest string of consecutive wins in the state, nine in all. In league con- tests we were not defeated until after the second half of the season had started. After that we lost four games, one each to Barrington, Cumberland, Sacred Heart, and Colt. Our league record for the season was ten wins and four losses while the season's record was twelve wins and five losses. The team will suffer heavily as a result of graduation this year.

MARY E. BRISTOW The Orchestra The orchestra under the capable direction of Mr. Elisha Holland has .made con- tinued progress during this past year. Thirty-eight musical aspirants have contributed their various talents to form what all South Kingstown High considers to be the best band in the land . M An atmosphere of old Vienna and old England has pervaded the Assembly Hall every Thursday morning as the orchestra swings from the engaging tempo of the 'Strauss waltzes to the definite rhythm of Pinafore . The orchestra proved its reputation by entertaining at the Wakeheld Parent Teacher's Association last fall and will wind up a most successful year when it performs at the Commencement exercises in june. The Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club has had an enjoyable and successful year under the able direc- tion of Mr. Thomas Maliff. The boys have acquired rather wide repertoire as was exhibited in their initial ap- pearance before the public in November at a meeting of the Parent Teacher's Association of Wakeheld. The club then gave an excellent program of carols at Christmas time. This spring the newly-formed South Kingstown High School Parent Teacher's Association was entertained by a well-chosen program. The club will close a very progressive year when it renders the famous Dear Land of Home by jean Sibelius at the Commencement exercises. The Girls? Gllee Club The Girls' Glee Club, under direction of Miss Randall, was formed in September, 1940. It comprises only junior and Senior girls. On November 14th it sang for the Parent Teachers' Association and received much applause. On january 28th and 29th it sang in the Movie Queen show which was spon- sored by South Kingstown Merchants for the benefit of the South Kingstown High School baseball team. In June the glee club will sing for graduation. ', The Aggie Club PATSY DINONSIE ....... ....,........ P rexident WILLIAM JACQUES ........ .......
