The first one was a shabby green chest with a rusty lock. I lifted the cover and the thing that attracted my attention was a large book with the word Secretary and the dates 1929- 1930 on the cover. This book contained a list of one hundred and sixty-one names that I recognized as the class of 1933. Turning from page to page, I came to the oflicers of the class: Presi- dent, Grace Grengeg Vice-President, Michael Ingelidog Secretary, Merrill Farrell, Treasurer, Edward Ferruccig and class adviser, Mr. Davis. Between some banners and papers, I found a program telling of the reception given the class by the Sophomores, October 19, 1929. I noticed next a pamphlet en- titled Clubs. The first one mentioned was the Glee Club which held a very successful meeting September 13th, with seventy-five members. Next in line came the Corona Club, made up of a few Freshman girls who delight- ed in writing poems and acting plays. Then came an account of the Scrib- bler's Club composed of Freshmen boys who gave a play entitled The Harmonica Club, which went off well. just as I was about to close the chest, I picked up a newspaper clipping with the heading- Freshman Girl Wins Double Prize. This went on to say that the Freshman class was glad to congratulate Katherine MacLane on receiving both the French and Algebra prize. Two months later I returned to the treasure house to open the second chest which was similar to the first. Again I found a book with the word Page Ten -nf CHRONICLE 10- 21950 ry Secretary, but with the dates 1930- 1931 on its cover. The book itself was of smaller volume and contained only one hundred and nineteen names. The following oihcers were elected to help carry on: President, Michael Ingelidog Vice-President, Ruth Cushing, Secre- tary, Eva Roberts, Treasurer, Francis Castagliolag and class adviser, Miss Tirrell. Realizing that newspapers car- ry a lot of information I picked up the following clipping: Annual Reception Held-Saturday, December 13th. The annual Freshman Reception was held and very well attended. An interesting program was furnished including a farce, The Teacher's Pet, presented by the Sophomores. As I laid the clip- ping back in the trunk, I noticed some- thing glitter, and when I held it in the light I found it to be a gold class ring with the inscription Lewis upon a shield. On each side of the shield, part of the date 1933 was engraved. A short time passed when I again visited the treasure house and opened the third chest. The same familiar book greeted me, but the date had been changed to 1931-1932. It contained ninety-seven names and presented the following officers: President, Michael Ingelidog Vice-President, Carroll Rod- man, Secretary, Robert Smith, Treas- urer, Barbara Bryantg Class Adviser, Mr. Davis. Nestling among some pa- pers was a red string and on one end of it was a small pencil, and when I had removed the papers I found a card attached to the opposite end. The card was folded and on the front the fol- lowing was printed in red letters: Jun- ior Prom+Lewis High School-Janu- ary 2, 1932. Next I picked up a some- what frayed program that was the Junior Recital. The selections were taken from famous American orations. -wif CHRONICLE 10- The following took part: Edna Kritz, The Flag on the Firing Line, by Theodore Roosevelt, Stephen Blazek, Farewell Address , by George Wash- ington, Eva Roberts, Speech to the Virginia Colonies , by Patrick Henry, William Manware, Second Inaugur- al , by Abraham Lincoln, Michael In- gelido, The League for Peace , by Woodrow Wilsong Ruth Cushing, Makers of the Flag , by Franklin K. Lane. Ruth Cushing and Michael In- gelido received two dollars and a half in gold for their efforts. In one of the corners of the trunk I found a small coin box. When opened, a bright ten dollar gold piece shone up at me. Surely I had found a real treasure, but no, a tag was tied to it with the name of Mary Mastrianni written across it. It seemed that she had been awarded this ten dollar prize by the League of Nations for writing the second best history examination in this state. Having found the contents of the first three chests most interesting, I ventured to open the fourth. This chest was battered and appeared to have been through many hardships. With difficulty I lifted the cover and found the contents entangled with a large spider's web. In the center of the web was the black demon himself, and I recognized him at once to be Depres- sion , that much talked about evil. I soon made my way through his web and found the familiar book containing the Roll Call of the Class of '33. This book had decreased many times in size and showed a list of ninety members. Be- side the names of four people was a gold star and these stars were to indi- cate them as leaders. They were: Pres- ident, Michael Ingelidog Vice-Presi- dent, Barbara Bryant gSecretary,james Kaneg Treasurer, Eugene D'Angelo. These four stars followed on under the guiding star, our class adviser, Miss Bedford. In one corner of the chest I found a carefully tied sack. Did it contain gold? No indeed, again I was mistaken, for upon opening it I found it to be only half filled with smaller sacks. Each of these was numbered and tagged as fol- lows: No. 1-Proceeds from dance held September 30th, ten dollars. No. 2-Proceeds form Cake Sale held Oc- tober llth, six dollars and a half. No. 3-Proceeds from dance held Novem- ber 25th. No. 4-Proceeds from Hot Dog Sale December 7th, five dollars. No. 5-Proceeds from Tea Dance held April Sth. In another part of the chest I found a box with a picture of a large black cat on the cover. I re- moved the cover and there lay, all topsy-turvey, twelve little dolls all dressed to represent characters. On each of them was pinned a little card telling whom they represented. Among them I found a japanese butler, a bride and groom, and a maid. Yes, I remem- bered them all as they performed their parts in the play The Cat Came Back. I was about to leave when I heard some one laugh at me, and peek- ing out from under some papers I saw a jolly negro on the front of a piece of paper. I picked it up and found it to be the program of the Senior Min- strel which did a lot to help the sack grow heavier. Reluctantly I closed the cover. There was only a small space left and I real- ized that that was just large enough to hold a debate program, a class night program, a Chronicle, and a long, white diploma. When those souvenirs have been added, the class of 1933 will be simply a chest of fond memories.

At a meeting of the Senior girls, a committee was chosen to select white graduation dresses from stores in near- by cities. The committee consisted of the following: Helen Davison, Ruth Cushing, Kathryn MacLane, Hazel Flanigan, and Barbara Bryant. It was finally decided by a majority vote of the girls to purchase dresses alike and one from Marcelle's in New Britain was selected. VVe are very sorry to hear that Peter Billington, a member of the Senior Class, was forced to leave school and go away to a Sanatorium. We hope for a quick recovery. A minstrel was held at the Holcomb School auditorium, April 28, for the benelit of the Senior Class. The cast consisted of Roswell Southworth, Jo- seph O'Brien, Helen Wood, William Manaware, Adolph Gasecki, and Em- ily Adamec as end men. James Dela- haunty was the interlocutor. Those in the chorus were Francis Walsh, John Sullivan, Lois Soucie, Merrill Farrell, Annamay Wrinn, Rose Gunning, Ed- ward Ferrucci, Stanley Blazek, Lois Parkin, Josephine Travers, Mary Thomasino,.and Marcella Thayer. Be- tween the acts there were novelty acts by Shirley Proudman, who did a tap dance, and james Aldi, a banjo solo. The Ingersalli brothers played and sang and Dallas Goode sang several selections. The Blue and White Syn- copators furnished music for the danc- ing which followed the minstrel. A very large crowd attended this show and a good sum of money was added to the class treasury. Mr, Wood should be congratulated on the fine work he did in coaching the minstrel, The Senior Class held a meeting in room 5 and elected a committee to have charge of the class night activi- ties. The committee, composed of John Paul, Eugene DeAngelo, James Dela- haunty, Helen Marzalek, Mary Deg- nan, and Helen Wood, had a meeting and made plans for class night. It is to be held at the Southington Country Club, june 2lst. There will be the usual class parts such as prophecy, history, will, etc. There will be musi- cal numbers by Carroll Rodman, Marie Styring, and a quartet of some girls in the Senior Class. Refreshments will be served and dancing will follow. The Senior Class is going to give a dance at the Holcomb School audi- torium, june second, at eight o'clock. Music will be furnished by the Ten Aristocrats of Waterbury. We hope this dance is well attended. A meeting was held in room 5, Fri- day, May 26, to elect class marshalls, a boy and a girl.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIZE WINNERS SCHOOL SONG Salutatory . Mr. Chairman, Member.: of the Board of Education, Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Prin- cipal, Members of the Facully, Parents, and Friends: In behalf of the Class of 1933, I wish to welcome each one of you to this, our graduation night. I also wish to thank you for your help and cooperation in securing for us this opportunity to educate and train ourselves so that we may be better fitted for our 1ife's work. We are graduating at a time when a new era of progress and prosperity seems imminent. Looking into the future we see that one oi the outstand- ing and progressive industries will be aviation, even as it is today. History shows that the upward course of civilization corresponds to the pace of progress in transportation. Until the development of the railroad in the nineteenth century, civilization's progress was as slow as man's advance in the field of transportation. But with the development of the railroad, the automobile, the Steamship, and the airplane, the slow pace of progress speeded up, and there was an unher- alded rush of inventions which culmi- nated in an industrial revolution. Standing on the threshold of a new era of progress which enthusiasts claim will revolutionize the aeronautical in- dustry, it seems certain that new in- dustries will be created and old ones Page Twenty-five stimulated, thus bringing about pro- gress and prosperity in other fields. Since 1903, when the Wright bro- thers fulfilled the centuries-old dream of man to fly like a bird, aviation has pressed forward in spectacular fashion. From that humble beginning of thirty years ago, when the Wrights flew for fifty-nine seconds, aviation has pro- gressed to the point where duration flights of over six hundred hours have been made. Oceans and continents have been spanned, the Poles have been crossed, and the world itself has been encircled in eight days. Magellan, on his historic voyage, took three years to encircle the globe. And yet, the greatest progress lies ahead. By the use of improved meth- ods and designs of construction, safer and more comfortable planes with greater speeds may be expected. Im- provements i'n airports and the per- fection of illuminated airways which employ the use of radio, give promise of safer and more rapid airlines which will keep punctual schedules. Even fog, hitherto the greatest enemy of all types of air travel, has been overcome by the use of the radio beam. Rocket planes and stratosphere airliners will operate at altitudes of about ten miles at tentatively estimated speeds of from five hundred to one thousand miles per hour. But the tremendous speed and cruis- ing range of airplanes and dirigibles would be of no avail if they did not serve some definite purposes for man- kind. With their great speed, the fu- ture airliners will draw countries -'bf CHRONICLE 10- closer together and will serve to cement bonds of good-will and better understanding between the nations. Trans-Atlantic service will soon bring the old world within a few hours of the new. Another side of aviation which will hold great interest for all of us in the near future is the development of the light-plane. With traffic congested as it is today, and progress in the light- plane field surging forward at an ever increasing pace, it will not be surpris- ing if the light-plane takes its place as a rapid and inexpensive means of transportation, especially for commut- ing and light delivery service between cities. The development of the autogyro in the last few years removes the neces- sity of having large flying fields for take-offs or landings. Progress has been made in developing a cheap, fool-proof light-plane and motor. Die- sel and steam engines, both of which use fuel oil and are very inexpensive to operate, have been successfully used in small planes. If the popularity of the light-plane increases as rapidly as it has thus far, it may not be long before Mrs. Jones of New York will drop over in her new sport-model autogyro to Mrs. Brown's in Boston for a few rubbers of bridge before luncheon. The invention of the airplane and the dirigible, along with their progress and their effect on civilization will un- questionably form one of the most ad- venturous and intriguing chapters in the history of the world. MMM Page 'Twenty-six -'bf CHRONICLE 1+ a!ea'z'ctory Amateur Radio today is an estab- lished institution. The Army and Navy are seeking the cooperation of Ama- teurs in establishing communication reserves. The public depends on ama- teur radio in major emergencies and the countries of the world recognize it as one of the established branches of radio art. This development has taken place in the course of about thirty years. We first heard of amateur radio in this country in 1901. It was Marconi's discovery that messages could be sent without wires and his proof of it by transmitting the letter S , three dots, across the ocean that started the pio- neers of amateur radio to experiment with it. It has grown since then quite steadily through all the develop- ments of radio, from the first commu- nications by means of spark coils to the communications today by means of high powered transmitting tubes. One of the amateur's principal ser- vices to the public today is the re- ceiving and delivering of messages free of charge. This service was first begun about 1914 when Hiram Percy Maxim started the American Radio Relay League with headquarters at Hartford, Connecticut. The object of the league was to establish relay routes throughout the country by means of which an amateur in one part of the country could send a message to any other part of the country, even from coast to coast. Today it is possible to send a message to any part of the world. In some cases this can be done in a few hours. The aid of amateur operators, as teachers and operators, was requested by the United States government after the entrance of the United States into the World War and about 3,500 re- sponded to the call. They gave such worthy service during the war that it was only natural that after the war cordial relations should prevail be- tween the Army and Navy and the amateur. In 1924 when the United States dirigible Shenandoah made a tour of the country, amateurs provided continuous contact between the big ship and the ground. In 1924 both the Army and the Navy came to the League with proposals for amateur cooperation. The radio Naval Reserve and the Army-Amateur Net are the outgrowth of these proposals. One of the most brilliant examples of amateur cooperation with the Army was in january of 1930 when at the request of the War Department, League operators organized a commu- nication net for contact with the Arc- tic Patrol flight of the Army's First Pursuit group from Michigan to Spo- kane, Washington. Amateur stations all over the country cooperated to maintain communication with the ac- companying transport plane when it was in the air, and with the flight per- sonnel at the various stopping places. Amateur radio has played an essen- tial part in the military maneuvers of the Air Corps by organizing communi- cational nets. Since 1919 amateur radio has been the principal and in many cases the only, means of outside communication in more than twenty storm and Hood emergencies in this country. The most noteworthy were the Florida hurri- cane of 1926, the Mississippi and New England Hoods of 1927 and the Cali- fornia dam break and second Florida hurricane in 1928. During 1931 there were the New Zealand and Nicaraguar Page 'l wcntyfSeuen earthquakes and the Viking explo- sion disaster in Labrador, in which amateur radio played a major role in the rescue work. Amateurs have also cooperated in railroad emergencies. In 1924, 1925, and 1926, the League maintained an emergency network of some eigh'y stations for the benefit of a large east- ern railroad. Five times this network rendered assistance when the wires went down. Amateur cooperation with expedi- tions started in 1923 with MacMillan's trip to the Arctic. It was so successful that since then MacMillan has never made a trip without carrying a short- wave equipment and an amateur to operate it. Three of the four operators on the Byrd trip to the Antarctic were amateurs. , Amateurs contribute their services also to aviation. Their services were utilized by Bryd in both his Arctic and Antarctic trips, and Wilkins took an amateur operator on his flight to the polar regions north of the Ameri- can continent and also on his trip to the Antarctic. Amateur operators also provided services during the National Air Races at both Los Angeles and Cleveland when they installed and operated the necessary equipment for communica- tion between the judges' stand and the outlying pylons and furnished all de- tails of fouls, planes down, and posi- -1-bf CHRONICLE 10-. tions of the planes throughout the races. This aid was so successful that it will probably be sought by National Air Race officials in every future meet. These services of emergency relief, expeditionary contact, along with countless instances of other forms of public services, rendered without hope or expectation of material reward, have made amateur radio one of the integral parts of our national life. As we look back over this brief history of Amateur Radio, one can see that the spirit behind its development has been one of service, service to mankind wherever it is needed, and service rendered without hope of ma- terial reward. Members of the Board of Education, Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Principal, Members of the Faculty, Parents and Friends: As we, the Class of 1933, bid you farewell, we wish to thank you for the service you have given to us, in providing for us a High School edu- tion, a service which has been gener- ous and untiring in the face of great difficulties. Classmates :- As we say goodbye to each other and go out to meet the world, may we carry with us this ideal of faithful ser- vice to mankind, remembering always that the gift without the giver is bare. Farewell !
