SEMAPHORE 1940 CLASS HISTORY As we, the Class of 1940, leave the Stoughton High, we take with us fond memo- ries of four happy years spent under her protection and guidance. 1936- 37 Proudly bearing the title of freshmen we entered Stoughton High only to learn that we should be humble in the presence of the upperclassmen. This year our repre- sentatives to the student council were Mary Zumas and Red Horan. We sponsored Freshman Dance, which was a success, both socially and financially. Soon we were passing from our primary rank to the distinguished position of sophomores. 1937- 38 Having risen in the world, we now found ourselves confronted with the task of voting for our class officers. Our first class officers were: Richard Batchelder, pres- ident; Mary Zumas, vice president; Robert Crevola, treasurer; and Franc es Russo, secretary. Our sophomore Hallowe ' en Dance was successful, and many of our classmates made news as athletes this year. 1938- 39 At last! Juniors! Now we ' re really climbing up in the world. ' We were excited over the thoughts of getting our class rings. The ring chosen was striking with its red stone and gold school seal. The Junior Prom with its valentine atmosphere was typical of the Class of 1940 ' s great social success throughout the years. The class officers were: Richard Batchelder, president; Lillian Mackie, vice president; Paul Dervinis, treasurer; and Frances Russo, secretary. 1939- 40 We were now seniors, and we had reached our goal. Now we really appreciated the educational and social value obtained in school. This was our last year to vote for class officers and the results were: Bernard Howes, president; Lillian Mackie, vice president; Paul Dervinis, treasurer; and Frances Russo, secretary. The senior play, June Mad, with a cast of thirteen was a huge success and brought out a good deal of theatrical talent. The Semaphore, edited by Mary Zumas, was very good this year, and credit should be given to the entire Semaphore staflp, which introduced the first Rally Dance ever held m the S. H. S. Commencement week, with the Reception, Banquet, Class Day, and finally Grad- uation, kept us all very gay and busy; but at its close many of us were filled with sorrow and sadness of the realization that we were leaving high school and its happy activities forever. Hoping to make bigger and better history, we pass through Stoughton High School ' s portals. 15
