L.Hi.S. CHRONICLE lass oem We've climbed the hill together, now Before we say good-bye Let us look back along the road We've come at Lewis High. Each morning that we walked '4The Hill Meant one step up along The pathway, which four happy years Have paved with fun, and song, And work, and bright new friendships To keep our memories strong. When e'er the way seemed steep or rough, A teacher's willing mind And friendly hand were there to guide Our steps, and help us find . More than books taught, they filled a role Of leaders and friends combined. There is no stone, but which, upturned, Some precious memory guards: A game, a prom, a hotdog sale, A gabfest in the yard, Some favorite seat, a well earned A - These things make parting hard. Our world has been a joyous one Within these staunch old walls. It holds a place in every heart, As surely as these halls Have known our feet 5 but we have grown And now the future calls. Though we know not where paths may lead, How high the slopes' which lie Ahead, Classmates of Forty-Eight, We've won our wings T- now Hy! NANCY LEWIS 15 A

CHRONICLE lass isto ry In the fall of 1944, the Lewis State House opened its four-year season with quite a bang just as soon as everyone arrived, they were ready to begin work. Holding a new position such as this was all very strange to us, and therefore we had to ask many questions about various things. We finally found our way to the Assembly Room where the President and his helpers would be chosen for the first term. After we set- tled down and were quite comfortable, we went through the voting procedure. The following people were chosen as officers: James D'Angelo was elected president. Next was vice president and Donald Bidwell was elected for the ofiice. The secretary was Marjorie Miller, and last but not least, Arthur Johnson was chosen as treasurer. With the help of our Advisory member Miss Fagan, our first year was quite a success. We decided that we should start off with something lively for social activities, so we had a Barn Dance followed a few months later by a Sport Dance. Each drew 2 large crowd which made us all very happy, as well as a little confident. Finally our first year was up and it was time for us to rest our weary brains so that we could start fresh the next fall. September found us back eager to start again. Being a little older at the job, we were allowed to go to the second floor assembly room. We elected our officers rapidly and the results were as follows: Roy S. Florian, president, Ray Bussett, vice-president, Shirley Carlson, secretary, and James Fasulo, treasurer. This year Mr. D'Angelo returned from the army and resumed his position that Miss Fagan had filled tem- porarily. He became our new advisor. A This being our second year, we decided to hold a Sophomore Hop and Sport Dance. Both turned out better than we could have hoped for. After our last conference had been made in the assembly room, we packed up our belongings and were ready for a long vacation. As we left we wondered what it would be like on the third floor of the Lewis State House in the coming fall. Well we soon found out, for there we were walking up the three flights of stairs, gazing at the pleasant surroundings and being noticed by the first year group that were wandering about. It seemed good to be able to answer questions instead of asking them all the time. ' We entered the third floor assembly room which was a little larger than the others and we elected our officersi Danny Edwards was president, Pauline Pepe was vice- president, Nancy Lewis was secretary, and James Egidio was treasurer. Mr. D'Angelo seemed to enjoy his work the year before as advisory instructor, so he continued with It again. In November we held the annual Junior Prom. This of course was a big event to everyone. We gave a St. Patrick's Dance and a Senior Farewell Dancef both of which' drew a large crowd. Knowing that we would need a long vacation we decided that this was the best time to take it. The reason for this was because we had heard what the coming year would be like and we had to be ready for it. S . '16 'Q
