We were placed on the fourth floor where the proprietors could keep a close watch on us and where we were at the complete mercy of the lower floor or upperclassmen. It took us a while to learn where not to walk and where not to talk, but we soon ,organized ourselves to elect members to the necessary offices. Vinny Crookes was elected to the post of Chief Janitor and Broom Guard Bob Chalmers his assistant. Joan Wendt became Custodian of the Records and Ken Reisch was Rent Collector. Miss Ballantine was chosen Floor Supervisor. During our stay onthe fourth floor we sponsored two dances, the Christmas Sport Dance and the Easter Dance which were both financial and social successes. We were surprised at the number of other floor tenants who attended for they had been scofling at us Froshes all year. Finally June arrived and we checked out for our various summer travels. September found us back again, but now we were entitled to climb only three flights and stay in the third Hoor. Here we made sure the new Freshmen received what we had endured the year before, We considered ourselves old-timers and quickly elected our ohicers as follows: Chief Janitor, Tony Feola, Broom Pusher, Bill Beltz, Records, Lucille Larribee and Rent Collector Ralph Carbone. This year we chose Miss DeGere as our Supervisor and Night Watchman. With this capable staff we enjoyed our quarters as much as possible under our duties to the Hotel management. The class began to stride out in the entertainment field as a Sport Dance was sponsored early in November and another was held in the spring. Now that we were Sophomores, we had made more friends and everyone had a good time at the dances. At the end of the hotel season, we packed eagerly, looking forward to vacation and the thought of being upperclassmen in the fall. Hotel Lewis reopened in September and after two long years, we occupied the second Hoor. These rooms are especially desirable because of their position of authority but mainly because there was an elevator for our special use. We thought we were something special-but no one else seemed to! Uncomplimentary nicknames still followed us and the membership of the Flag Club was as solid as ever. Our second' floor elections were held and Bob Chalmers became our clean up man with Jim Hurley his stand-in, Joan Wendt wrote down our fatal deeds and Mrs. Jankovich's daughter kept the purse which was usually empty. Miss DeGere was again our guiding influence. The whole floor was intensely interested in the history of American architecture and spent many hours studying it in Room 17. On November 18, the annual Junior Prom was held, thegmajor event of our year, and it was a gala success for those who went. Hot Dog sales were conducted through the year and a Stl Patrick's Day Dance was sponsored. A novel idea was our Good Bye Seniors Dance to which all Seniors were invited as guests of honor. Last fall we entered Lewis to take the luxurious suites reserved for us on the rnain floor. We had looked forward to being Seniors for a long time and we wanted to make a good impression. This was to be our last year at Lewis and the biggest and best one for us. 1. 20
