TH ale Ae er AmVelely Class History In September, 1937 a group of girls and boys entered the halls of Trade School. This group of young men and women were to pursue a course of study which would later enable them to specialize in a trade in our modern world. That same group of yo ung men and women were to become the graduating class of 1940. The first few weeks were spent getting acquainted with the school, Many students. familiar with the different methods of teaching, were amazed at the curriculum used here but soon found the value of having part-time academic subjects and part-time trade training. They soon found the vocabulary they were familiar with was inadequate and that there was a special vocabulary used in each individual shop. These students were also amazed at the number of interesting school activities carried on by the juniors and seniors. An extensive drive was being carried on to obtain a 100% member- ship in the Student Association. Students were busy electing officers for the Student Council. Later, a series of interesting assemblies including musical programs and many prominent speakers from our community were presented to the student body. In September, 1938,the same group of boys and girls returned to Trade School eager to start their junior year. Many students proved themselves to be outstanding in school life by taking part in student council, the glee club, the band, the play “The Christmas Road’’, the musical comedy “Sunny Skies’, and many other extra-curricular activities. After two years delightfully spent, the pupils who first entered the doors of Trade School were now occupying the position of seniors. The senior class quickly organized and officers were elected as follows: James Braica, president; Catherine Lamson, vice- president; Albert Distifano, secretary; and Rhea Chapdelaine, treasurer. Both the girls’ and boys’ student councils organized, with officers for the girls as follows: Ines DiLuzio, president; Dorothy Couture, vice-president; and Catherine Lamson, secretary. The boys’ student council officers were Leo Lambert, president; Peter Charko, vice-president; and Evaldo Morace, secretary. A Christmas Cantata, “‘Childe Jesus)’ was put on by the com- bined glee clubs, of which many seniors were members. Some of the activities in which seniors took an important part were the Community Chest drive, American Education Week, the successful Trade School dance, and the sponsoring of a circus to raise funds for the year book. The last few months were spent getting ready for the prom, banquet, and grad- uation which are all memorable occasions in one’s life. These months, although filled with hopes and visions of becoming useful, self-supporting citizens able to “stand on their own’, were also sad ones because we were leaving the school which had made itself dear to our hearts through its encouragement and affection as well as its techni- cal training. Then came Graduation Day! We marched down the aisie with pride and joy at receiving our diplomas but with regret and sadness that our school days were over.
