CHRONICLE 1+ lass I-Iistory is the record of man's achievement. The record of such an illustrious class as this proved far too great a task for such an ordinary mor- tal as I, so I have engaged Pal , our school mascot, who has heard and seen all in the past four years to recollect memorable incidents. To begin with, in September, 1932, among the many students who en- tered Lewis, quick as a flash, I picked out about one hundred and fifty whom I knew to be new or 'Freshies' as they are termed. It's easy to tell 'Freshies' They didn't know which stairway to go up and which to go downg why it was a month or more before some of them knew where to go without the aid of their cards. Most of them did not look big enough to be in seventh grade, yet they were in high school. Before long, joseph Mahan went around with a grin like a Cheshire cat and after investigating I discovered the reason-he had been elected presi- dent of his class. In the same election Nicholas Tarantino was chosen vice- presidentg Helen Santy, secretary: and George Maynard, class editor. There were two new teachers that year- Mr. Fontana, our coach and Mr. Smith, who was chosen class advisor. Wlien November came, there was a great deal of conversation in the halls between Sophomores and Freshmen. I pricked up my ears and learned from bits of their talks that something was taking place November 18. The night of November 18 I gave .Timmy Stew- art the slip and followed the gang to I-Iolcomb School where the Sopho- rnores gave a welcoming reception to the Freshmen. fl wonder where those bashful 'Freshies' are now.j VVhen June came vou should have seen those 'Freshies' homeward bound zstory each night laden with booksg they cer- tainly didn't want to Hunk exams. As much as they dreaded them, all man- aged to survive and welcome the vaca- tion they felt they were entitled to. At graduation that year Mary Kava- naugh was awarded the Freshman algebra prize. In September 1933, I watched them come back-no longer timid Freshmen but sedate sophomores eager to ini- tiate the newer students. They boasted that they had christened the new 'Freshies' with HZO, which everyone knows is just water. This year it was Evelyn Frate's turn to smile because she was elected president with Erma Rossetter as vice-president: Frances Fontana, sec- retaryg and Fremont jones, treasurer. Miss Shorey was chosen class Advisor and assisted in planning a welcoming initiation for the newer students. This was done at a reception held Novem- ber 17, at Holcomb School. About January I noticed some of these sophomores proudly flashing rings. Yes, they were class-rings with the Lewis emblem on them. NVhen June came their minds were so preoccupied craming for exams that they forgot to stop and pat my head when I bumped against them. At graduation the Sophomore French prize was awarded to Evelyn Frate. 'In September 1934. they came back again, not sedate sophomores but jolly juniors ready for a good time. I hung around Room 9 during class elections and found out that Evelvn Frate had been chosen president: john Valentine, vice-president: Robert Fer- rucci, secretary, and Gerald Mitchell. treasurer.
