The summer passed quickly and we were at last Seniors. We were to en- joy our final year in a beautiful new structure. Mr. Boland was not a member of the school faculty, therefore we selected Miss Eleanor Heafy as our class advisor. Don Florian was elected president, Roy Nyren, vice-president, Lucille Lofgren, secretary, and Kasie Stanish, treasurer. Marion Keene was elected chairman of the Chronicle Staff. The Freshmen Welcome Dance was a howling success, and the Seniors really enjoyed themselves Andy Hubeny, Larry Montague, Gordon Hooper, Ray McKay, Gil Lassen and Harold Platt, members of our class, left for Camp Pickett with the National Guard. On the gridiron, Captain Roy Nyren, Bill Bennett, .Tack Barry, Dick Beshuk, Dick Knapp and Fran Verderame helped Southington High's first athletic repre- sentative turn in an impressive 7-2 record. Jack Patz, Pat Massucci, Roy Nyren, Bob England and Fran Verderame played on a great basketball squad which was coached by Mr. Walt Lozoski. The Senior Class presented its play, One Mad Night , at the Falcon Hall, and on the second night of its performance had to turn many people away. The play was a mystery-farce in which Don Florian and Pat Griffin played the lead- ing roles. Other members of the cast were: Rod Gibson, Barbara Wendt, Gerry Hamlin, Gerry Wagner, Sadie Riccio, Chet Tomasiewicz, Dick Boyce, Fred Swanson, Marge Butler, and Regina Albrecht. Gregg Publishing Company awards were earned by Barbara Askzlar, Sadie Riccio, Helen Zajac, and Marie Angelone in the Advanced Shorthand Class. ' r At the annual Va1entine's Day Dance, Pat Massucci was crowned king, and Babs Beltz queen. Under our new Physical Education program we had been having square dancing lessons in the gym. So on March l0th, we threw a square dance complete with orchestra and caller. The Senior Prom was held on June 9th, with its theme being Moonlight and Roses . The gym was decorated with roses and everything was a great success. . Close on the heels, of the Prom, on the 14th of June, came Class Night. And then suddenly we were being helped into caps and gowns. It was .T une 18th, and we were bidding farewell to Southington High School. Although we had spentthree years at Lewis, we were proud to have been the first class to grad- uate from Southington High School. Somehow we had quickly become fond of the spacious corridors and new classrooms. The gym had become our pride and joy. Although we'd never forget our years at Lewis, that last year in the new 7 high school would always stand out. W Well, now that you'vetheard all aboutthe first class to graduate from L A g Southington High School, donft you think we ,spent a pretty wonderful four years?'
