, WSLYI 33.4. L.H.S. CHRONICLE After a wonderful vacation we entered the Lewis State House knowing that it would be our last year there. We were allowed to take the elevator up this time so we entered it. Up and up we went until at last, the moment that we had waited for came. We reach the fourth floor, and with a feeling of excitement and a little importance we reached the beautiful spacious assembly room. Almost automatically we started electing officers. The following were chosen: Rich Hubeny, presidentg Danny Edwards, vice-presidentg Alice Barbier, secretaryg and Vera Moroz, treasurer. Mr. D'Angelo was again our advisory instructor. We held many activities during the year. Our first was the Freshman Welcome Dance. Next was the New Year's Eve Dance, which everyone seemed to enjoy quite well. In February we held a Valentine Dance with the election of the King and Queen and their pages. The king was George Simone, and the queen Camille Wagenbrenner. The annual Senior Play A Good Egg was given, and was ably directed by Miss Collins. Walter Knap did a splendid job taking the leading part, and was supported by a capable cast that deserve much credit for their fine performances. The stage directors, sound-effects men and make up artists all did a magnificent job in making the play the success that it was. I Our other events which we are looking forward to will be the Senior Ball, Class Night, and graduation. After our jobs are thoroughly done the time will come for us to receive our parchment of ability from the head speaker. We have all been very happy in doing our work at the Lewis State House not only because of the fun that we have had with our instructors and colleagues, but because of the knowledge that we have gained in working here. Lewis has placed in us a feeling of prudence and faith. One fact that we are very sure of is that Lewis High will never be forgotten by anyone who ever attends it. In its roomsland halls the echo of our joys will always remain. CAMILLE VVAGENBRENNER 17

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
