STONINGTON HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK, 1930 Page 29 a - -- . .nw VB , ADDRESS T0 UNDERGRADUATES Members of the Undergraduate Body of Stonington High School: Because we, the class of 1930, have come to the end of our short journey through Stonington High School, we should like to leave with the under- graduate body, a few thoughts which we deem will prove of profit to them. To us these four years have sped by quickly, and we are now going out into the world where we shall make new friends and be confronted with new conditions of life. It is for us to succeed- for us who have established a firm foundation during our high school career. Underclassmen, we sincerely hope that you will heed the advice that we, who have benefited by four years of ex- perience, now give. First, I would say to the Freshmen: Choose as many subjects as possible in your Freshman year and in your first three? years thus leaving your Senior year free for the extra duties with which it will be filled. Also, more important-choose one course and stick to it throughout your high school career. Go out for athletics, make a name for yourself, for your class, and for your school. Sophomores, you will soon be Juniors. What is your goal? Are you working as diligently and as conscientously as you might? Have you learned that work and not play comes first and that con- centration is the first requirement of good schol- arship? If so, you will surely succeed. And now, Juniors, you are to take our place as leaders. Your task is to make Stonington High School a school to be proud of. You, as the Sen- ior class next Year, will have a high moral and intellectual standard to uphold. Remember, the underclassmen look up to you to determine what is right or wrong. Undergraduates, strive for your school. Be honest, courteous, and show good sportsmanship at all times. Take pride in the appearance of Stonington High School so that it may always be recognized as a place of refinement and beauty. Lastly, I wish to extend to you one more bit of advice. In behalf of the class of 1930, let me impress upon you the fact that you should al- ways appreciate the effort of your principal and teachers to aid and co-operate with you in all your undertakings throughout your high school career. -Irene Elson.

Through the splendid co-operation of the class and committee We were successful in enter- taining an unusually large number of guests. 3659 And now, let me tell you about our Senior year, the most glorious of all! We were Seniors at last and to use a modernistic term, what a grand and glorious feeling! We reached great fame, intellectually and ath- letically. Many of the class were on the honor roll and many more received honorable mention, a record such as few classes can boast. Our boys led the football team to victory many times, and as for baseball, We feel confident that we have promise of a second Babe Ruth in Godomsky. So We come to the end of the history of our four years together. Surely no class could have greater hopes for success as it goes forth to solve Whatever problems life may hold in store.

They excelled in the athletic field due to the excellent athletes that this class is composed of. Among the athletes are Ed. Goy- ette, the lone four letter man, whose ability has won for him a name in all neighboring schools, then there is Skip Adams, the shining light from Stonington, who has shown his stuff in football, basketball and track, and with him can be mentioned the handsome boys, Newbury and Chevallier, also majoring in three sports. Kelly, the burly tackle, and Levanti and Collins, fast backfield men, and Patterson, the first sacker on the ball team, make up the rest of that athletic class. The girls cannot be slighted, for they too have some fine basketball players. Little Katherine Ferrie, who has run circles around many a guard, sank many a basket to bring victory to her team. Nonnie Delagrange, also from this same athletic class, performed in nice fash- ion on the court, stopping many a forward from accomplishing her feat. Now leaving the athletic Held, we will turn to the academic side. This class has some fine, smart students led by McKenna, the profes- sor of the class. We hope that they will keep up the good Work, and follow in the footsteps of their predecessors.
