Committees to take charge of the class book, prom, and class night were chosen and have worked hard to make everything a success and leave the class with pleas- ant memories of their last affairs. lass Farewell to you, Lewis, on this com- mencement day, Where we have been studious, serious, happy, and gays Although we leave you to go our way Our memories of you will linger for aye.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday at 3:20, I listened at the keyhole of Room 1. lfVhy? Because the new music teach- er, Miss Beach had organized a Glee Club for the girls and one for the boys. The first few times I listened I wanted to yelp but my ears soon became ac- customed to the music and I enjoyed it A Commercial Club was also formed by Miss Beauchemin and many juniors joined and took part in the Kitchen Orchestra Concert to raise money. While listening to the concert I was unable to control myself and I started howling. jimmy Stewart put a stop to my foolishness by promptly sending me outside. By the time I got in again the concert was over and all I heard was the audience telling each other how much they enjoyed it. The Juniors entered social life form- ally at the junior Prom on April 26. Although is wasn't a financial success, it was a huge social success. Then, those juniors proved them- selves to be expert essayistsg experi- ence had made them so, by writing on a subject pertaining to Connecticut's Tercentenary. The six best which had to be memorized and delivered at the Junior Recital were written by Philip- pa Parizo, Ruth Cockayne, Rita Mc- Grath, Mary Kavanaugh, Julius Krem- ski, and Fremont jones. Fremont jones and Mary Kavanaugh were a- warded the prize of five dollars for their efforts. Helene Bryant and Mildred Crafts shared honors in the awarding of the Junior Latin prize. Exams appeared again and then a joyful exit for vacation to recuperate from the effects of their junior year and prepare for their final year. I hardly believed that those digni- fied fmay I disagree with Pall students entering the building this term were the unexperienced Freshmen of a few Page Fourteen 1 ' i -of CHRONICLE 10- ' . They had grown so tall itlizgiisviilighuiuitood in the hall I could see nothing but legs. Of the large number who had en- tered as Freshman, only seventy-nine remained to graduate. Gerald Mitchell certainly proved popular among his classmates-he was elected class presi- dent. Marie Adams was elected vice- presidentg jean Nichols, secretaryg and Eugene Murphy, treasurer. Gene's job hasn't been an easy one. Mr. D'Angelo, who was elected class advisor, has worked hard and has been very suc- cessful as an advisor. Were those Senior girls planning to be old maids or were they really industrious? I mean the members of the Senior So and Sew who met with Miss Mutti on Wednesdays in the green room to knit and chat. I was afraid to go in for fear one of their needles would jab me in the nose. The Finance Committee proved to be very capable. They sponsored a Thanksgiving dance, several cake sales, and a hot-dog sale. I managed to get a couple of the dogs during the sale for the girls who cooked them were kind and gave me some. Under Mr. Rathbun's direction a play No-Account David was pre- sented in December. Those Seniors discovered hidden talent among them- selves. Who could forget jones as David or Frances Fontana as Mattie or any of the others? Such talent shouldn't be forgotten so another play A Ready-Made Family was produced which proved a great success. The Seniors had an active part in the organizing of the Student Council, which organized social clubs that met last period on Mondays. The Debating Club sponsored a debating team which made a good showing in the inter- scholastic debate. Many of the Senior boys made excellent showings in ath- letics and received letters. What will the teams do without them next year?

And now I find it rather hard to write a little rhyme About our teacher who's been with us only a short lenght of time. Our efficient commercial teacher- Miss Mutti is her name. We're all sorry to say good-bye--but we are not to blame. And now we are all very sorry To say good-bye to our friend, Miss Shorey Who has made us solve problems in arithmetic But I prefer to do rhythmetic',. With Miss Child's guidance We've learned much about science, About the weather, moon, and the stars Of Venus, Saturn, jupiter, and Mars. To Coach Fontana we bid farewell And is it necessary for us to tell About the donkey who down and fell When he made a basket, Oh, did the crowd yell! Miss Bedford who teaches English II and III Keeps her home room very quiet and orderly, And after the tardy bell, each pupil as he rises Continues for live minutes doing morning exercises! Mr. Stowe has been with us but a short time But we all know him and he teaches Civicsg Mr. Rathbun who's home room teacher of large Room 9, Helped direct our plays and teaches Science and Physics. ,b Page Sixteen -+91 CHRONICLE 144'- We'll say goodbye to Miss Edstrom Who taught us long ago About Ben Franklin and the Mohicans Of Long john Silver and Ivanhoe. Miss Beach is busy most of the time Teaching the glee clubs rhythm and rhyme. U She teaches music and directs the orchestra too, My! but she certainly has a lot to do! Farewell, Miss johnson, we don't think you could find A secretary who is always so willing and kind To help any pupil who may be in need Of a pass or etc.-you were our friend indeed. Although Miss Bristol worked in our school We didn't see her much as a general rule. She was busy typing, and such and such But we all knew and liked her very much. And now this poem wouldn't be com plete If I forgot to tell you who furnished us heat. I-Ie's .gone to school for a good long time, Mr. Stewart, and his dog Pal-rain or shine! A This 22nd verse-this 19th day of june Completes the final thought- Completes the good days our school time has brought Those same days we'1l never see again As we're leaving from here to see what we can gain. So now until the other classes come back in the fall, We'll say farewell to underclassmates, teachers and all!
