-'bf CHRONICLE J0- Class otes Miss Mastrianni's essay Contribu- tions made by European Countries to America won an honorable mention in a contest recently held in Connecti- cut by the Colonial Dames of Con- necti.ut. 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. Those elected were Helen Marzalek and Lawrence Hob- son. At this meeting the class voted to have Father Murcko give the invoca- tion at graduation. Page 'Twenty three

II And now that we must bid our high adieu, Oh, how we wish we might begin anew, But that alas can never, never be, And so this parting we now give to thee. III We bid farewell to the friends we knew, Who in a crisis were staunch and true, Who shared our sorrows and joys as well, And if one did wrong they would nev- er tell. IV Farewell to sports and to stars not few, To football and baseball and basket- ball too, Page Twentyftwo And to those who excelled in track, Old bLekwis will wish she had them ac . V And through life the memories will be ever clear, Of the dances, assemblies, and Proms so dear, Of the games we attended and the good times we had, For ever these things will make our hearts glad. VI Good-bye to the halls we used to roam, To the nights we spent in detention room, Good-by to our classes, good-bye to our books, Good-bye to school sweethearts with their loving looks. VII Farewell to the witty who helped brighten our days, Adieu to the students who studied al- ways, Farewell to the teachers who gave us their best, I That we might succeed when we took our life's test.
