V. Quealy, Clnziwmnz R. Horan, Carnival Queen 661 Winter Carnival The temperature had been ac- tually at freezing point for three continuous days. The snow was piled high after the record storm of 1941. We had been awaiting all thisffor a Winter Carnival. Through the courtesy of the Brookline Fire Department, Chief Allen and Mr. Martin Meehan, father of the President of the Freshman Class, the lield was cleared by the huge plows. On two successive nights the iield was flooded, While the zero weather assured us of ice and our carnival. Then came the hanging of the multi-colored lights, the erection of a toboggan slide by piling up the already high drifts of snow. There was imported for the oc- casion, a quaint-looking sleigh, soon bedecked for the carnival queen. Vincent Quealy, the capable chairman of the aiiair, had ar- ranged for skating to music, broadcast from the school, exhibi- tion skating, a lively hockey game under banners of blue or red. The Bonnie Blues won! Then the Senior girls skated by the review- ing stand and the Judges: Rev. William Reilly, Chief of Police Tonra, Mr. James Jordan and Mr. james Whooley. Of course l was thrilled when l heard my name called as Carnival Queen. About ten-thirty we thronged to the gym for delicious salad sandwiches, jelly doughnuts and hot chocolate. Then followed rol- ler skating in the gym, informal dancing for those who preferred it or for many, still more skating. lt was a gala nightfa landmark in the history of 1941. RENA HORAN '41
