STONINGTON HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK. 1930 Page 27 'M - new CLASS HISTORY Gladys Cranston We look upon the year 1927 and find it marked by a momentous event-the non-stop trans-At-, lantic fiight of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. But if we look back only a few months more we find another notable event-notable even though the world at large has neglected to record it-the en- trance of this class in the autumn of 1926 into Stonington High School. Even the students and teachers of th-e High School did not realize the worth of this class at first-we were just another group of timid Fresh- men to be endured until we became accustomed to the regime of Stonington High School. But gradually their attitude of forbearance was changed, they began to realize the rare material in this class with which they had to deal. As proof of our ability we amazed the whole school by presenting an all original program in Assembly. Joseph Hoxsie delivered a poem which he composed and which revealed talent unusual in one so young. Norman Smith also rendered a very amendable selection. By our Sophomore social we again proved our excellence. As hosts and hostesses we provided unique entertainment for old and young. Then, too, before the end of our Sophomore year how thrilled we were when we discovered that we had budding athletes in our class. The most noted being Godomsky, Smith and Spellman with Made- line Harper and Ramona Hanks ably representing the girls on the basketball court. In our third year we were popularly known as the conscientious Juniors and soon proved our- selves worthy of the name when a few of the class were selected by the faculty, according to merit in studies, to be elected by the school as assistant editors of the Brown and White staff.
