AQU11 A IPAGE wg C lass H :story REAT men and great nations have histories So too great classes leaxe to posterity the story of their progress The Class of 1940 one of the greatest and certainly the b st to be found 1n contemporary institutions of learning has a story perhaps too com pltx to be treated in detail, but so simple, and so interesting in parts that even a hrst grader may read it and learn to love school where those happiest days of youth are spent Wlien as freshmen, we entered school in Septemb r 1936 we were green in the eyes of our upper classmen, yet we refused to be overlooked, and soon started to prove that we were the best judges of our own ability This eventful year saw the formation of a Latin club known as Stgniferi the comm ncement of whist parties and the usual amount of time spent on th preparation of daily lessons Before the end of the year there was a large number of good coocs among the girls, as a result of the hom economics course, and when food was needed for any special occasion the best representatives of the culinary department were Minus a few former students, we began our second year of high school life Part of this year was slightly hectic, since, at Sister Ellens departure, there was confusion while arrangements were made for securing a substitute Various other Sisters attempted to continue distributing the seeds of the knowledge of English and Latin to the class Finally Miss Kearney Joined the ranks of those who patiently tried to explain Caesars Commentaries and who wanted to produce a few short story writers among the members of the class Euclid was tackled by some fortunate members, while others tried their skill at bookkeeping During the course of the year two more members enlarged the sophomore class Richard McLoy came from Ward 1 Penacook, while Lorenzo Gilbert ar r1ved from the La Salette Seminary in Enfield Time passed and social actlvitles were continued by the classes as they held their bi weekly whist parties but before long, dancing predominated over whxst Refreshments served their purpose by attractmg the boys to these socials This was Sister Almas last year in our midst She was transferred to St Marys in Claremont, from whence came S ster Magdalen to St John High . 1 X X I 3 A , . , ' 2 , , 7 ff 57 ' - . .
