V n;iile we had no class play this year, several talented members of the class, namely:Margaret Pahy, Anna Curley and Cecelia Grant took part in the school play, ’’It’s Papa Who Pays held in the Town Hall. The play was a great success. We had the thrill of taking part in the graduation ex¬ ercises of the Class of ’38 being members of the chorus. The mus¬ ic was exceptionally good on this occasion and will serve,we hope as a preparation for our own big day, June 23, 1938. So ended our Junior year and September 1938 we were back occupying the front seats in assembly an honor anticipated for the last three years. « Our teachers this year were Sister Piose Concepta • and Sister M. Bernadette in the classical subjects and Sister Eliza¬ beth Mary and Sister Immaculata in the commercial subjects. Athletics continued to outside activities.

All of the classes in High School presented plays be¬ fore the student body and the best ones were selected to be giv¬ en publicly at the John C, Lynch Auditorium. Ours was selected and although we didn ' t win a prize we felt justly proud of those who took part in the very creditable performance. Another June was upon us and with fond farewells we parted for the summer with promises of reunion in the autumn, I don ' t remember who said ”Tempus Fugit” but I really believe it is too true. September witnessed another gathering at St. Mary ' s Church and then the chiimmy Vv alk to the Assembly Hall there to meet new friends and greet old ones. At this point of our High School career, we had to make a choice between the classical and commercial course thus the Class of ' 39 came to the first crossroads. This was a banner year for Athletics and our class rose to the very pinacle of success in the various sports. Coach NicK Morris worked wonders with the football team, as expressed in one of the Boston Papers, he brought them from ’’Piags to Riches ’.St. Mary’s won every game but the last two and these were lost only because the heroes were worn out from the toils of bat¬ tle . Joe Scannell, Eddie Beyer and Jack Davoren represented ' 39 on the team. The debating team was largely made up of Juniors in¬ cluding Cecelia Grant, Margaret Fahy, and Edward Vhalley as al¬ ternate . For Class officers we elected: PrcsidGnt--Leon Osachuk Vice-President--Edward Beyer Secretary--Anna Curley Treasurer--Louise Tosches Class Day of 1938 brought us many a humiliation which wc accepted with resignation while our hearts burned within us for revenge which we prom.ised ourselves on the night of Junior Reception, Ernest Bouchard, Bill Hayes, Eddie Beyer and Joe Small advertised on the baseball field while Joe Moore and Ripper Coll¬ ins upheld our glory on the basketball floor. In June Father Donahue entertained the continuous mem¬ bers of the St. Thomas Aquinas Circle at a banquet in Hopedalc.
