CHRONICLE M'- lczss iszfo ry As a penalty for a long criminal record of eight years, the Class of ,fl-l was sen- tenced to four years of hard labor in the institution called Lewis High School. Chief Warden Phelan and his seventeen Deputy Wardens disciplined the rowdy prisoners throughout the long stretch, The class was allowed a system of self-govern- ment. As a result, the following model prisoners were elected to preside: President, Rudolph Erbe, Vice-President, Marjorie Hatton 3 Secretary, Claire Crandall, Treas- urer, David Powers 5 and Deputy Warden Joyal as Class Adviser. During the summer the members of the class were put on probation in the care of their respective parents. Upon the return of the prisoners the following autumn, it was found that a few members had been pardoned for good behavior. The ofhcers that were elected were: joseph Galiette, President, Paul Reisch, Vice-President, Alfreda Smedberg, Secretary, Priscilla Lacourciere, Treasurer, Deputy Warden Shorey, Adviser. The most out- standing event this year was the Sophomore Social which was a huge success. Various clubs were organized, such as the Dramatic, Outdoor, Camera, Hiking, Bicycle and Sewing Clubs. In June, the second year, inmates had an outing at Lake Compounce. It was at this outing that a Sophomore girl fell into the lake. What a glorious feeling it gave the Class of '41 to be addressed as 'Gupper class- menf' just two more years of hard labor, yippee! With this newly acquired ,feeling of superiority, the once model prisoners became hard to manage. Hoodlums they were called. Many were expelled from the assemblies that some kindly souls spon- sored for the prisoners. Among those in that so-called Wednesday Detention Class were Lorraine Parizo and Anne Robetski. The following inmates held oflices for the year: Frank Astrologes, President, Francis Dudzik, Vice-President, Evelyn Parker, Secretary 5 Francis Pepe, Treasurer, Class Adviser, Deputy Warden D'Angelo. A new Commercial Deputy Warden was seen making her way in the building. At first sight she was thought to be a fellow prisoner, but she turned out to be Deputy Warden Kelly. The prisoners certainly did their best to put one over on her, but it could not be done. The Junior Prom was held in November. Many young hearts were happy and palpitated wildly that day. Alas! only a dollar profit was made. That year the Junior Recital was the most original in the history of the Institu- tion of Lewis High. Every Junior wrote an original essay. The eight best were selected and delivered by the authors at an assembly. Jane Muus and Paul Reisch walked off with the prizes. Until the Junior year not much enthusiasm was shown in regard to the Emblem, a paper published by the Institution. It is considered one of the best prison publications in Connecticut. In June came the yearly exams which determined how many more years a prisoner would have to serve. This was followed by the sum- mer probation period. x Page Sixteen t' it
