CLAS S HISTORY ' Frisky Freshmen In September 1940, eighteen boys and girls hurried up the school stops, all thrilled ,t the idea of being in High School. We dashed towards the Freshman room to meet our new teacher. ' After settling down to our studies,' ad becoming ac- quainted with a few newcomers we elected class officers Our first big event was a Christmas party in the As- sembly Room. The entire High School Student body ate tended. We were greatly puzzled trying to identify . the Senior dressed as Santa. After enjoying refreshf- ments and dancing, we were dismissed for our Christmas vacation. When holidays were over, we were glad to return to school, because we knew the better part of the year U was coming. February, March and April passed quickly and quiet- ly. We welcomed the month of May because this was the time of the year when the girls would spend a day at the Colledge of Our Lady of the Elms in Chicopee. The girls there put on a play for us and graciously took us through all the buildings. ' June would moan Final Exams, Commencement Excercises and our first Wformaln, the Senior Prom. After much coaxing the boys finally get nerve enough to invite the girls. , Close on the heels of the Prom came Class Night and the Class Picnic which dropped the curtain of our High School days. Serious Sophomores In September 1941, only fourteen returned to spend another year at St. Mary's, We were sorry to have lost four of our classmates. ' The first half of the year went by very quickly, This may have happened because we were studying so hard in attempting to grasp the story of Julius Caesar in Latin. N We felt keenly the results of war. Because of tran- spotation difficulties, we had no Class Picnic. We were glad, however, to usezthe beautiful new Italian-Ameri- can Hall for the Prom. Then came Class Night and Grad uation. We did all we could to make the Seniors happy during theirllpst few days of school.

Jolly Juniors When we returned in September 1942, we were sorry to have lost two more classmates. This left only twelve Jolly Juniors to meet our new teacher. For some reason or other, we all seemed rather proud to enter Room Scand 4. Maybe it was because the Seniors always occupy this room. Very few activities were held during the first half of the year. After spending so much time on our studies we were glad to have assemblies during the latter part of the year. ' Our February Assembly was arranged to celebrate Father Smith's birthday. Every Junior had a special part in this program. The months flew by and when June arrived it was de- cided to abandon the idea of a Prom. In spite of this the Seniors had a beautiful Graduation, and the High School boys and girls formed a guard of honor as the Seniors entered the Church. As Graduation night came to a close, we just couldn't believe that we would re- turn as Seniors, y . Sedate Seniors Soon after beginning our Senior Studies, we elected our Class Officers. This, our last year at St. Mary's seemed to go by much faster than any of our previous ones. Before leaving for our Christmas vacation we had a most enjoy- able party. Vacation over, we began to prepare for our Mid Year Examinations. - Then just before the Holy Season of Lent, We had H dance which all the High School pupils attended. As the days before June became fewer and fewer, we realized it would soon be our turn to receive a diploma. 'We must leave our Alma Mater, our friends, our teach- ers, to enter a world torn by war and disaster. But if we live up to the standards placed before us at St. Mary's, we need have no fear when that day ar- rives on which God shall call us home to render an ac- count of our life upon earth. A , l
