T 194 1 SEMAPHORE CLASS HISTORY Some one has said that only to the freshmen are we truly seniors. For, to the sopho- more class we will always be remembered as they first saw us — juniors; and to the junior class we will always be sophomores; and to ourselves — alas, we know our own faults. 1937- 1938 Remember the day four years ago when we bravely entered the halls of S. H. S.? I do, as if it were yesterday. To ourselves we seemed so important. Imagine it, we were freshmen ! But to the upperclassmen, who looked down their noses at us, we were just another class of ignorant youngsters for them to tease. That year we had the most success- ful Freshman Dance ever held, at least in our own opinion. During this, our initial year, we were well represented in the Student Council by Annie Walent and Robert Corbett. 1938- 1939 All the suffering we went through our first year in Stoughton High was soon gone and forgotten by September 1938 when we entered as sophomores. Now, as sophomores, we soon joined with those who had teased us to tease the class below us. Remember our first election with the following results: Harold Fee, president; Evelyn Robinson, vice- president; Virginia Vanston, secretary; John O ' Hare, treasurer. Our class sponsored a Halloween Dance with much success, socially as well as financially. 1939- 1940 Juniors! ! ! It semed only a couple of weeks ago we came here as freshmen. The crowning event of the year was the Prom, a winter carnival, with William Alexander and Josephine LaCivita as king and queen. The ring we chose to remind us of our Alma Mater had a brilliant blue stone with the school seal on it. This year we had William Webster as president; Muriel Cunningham, vice-president; Virginia Vanston, secretary; William Alexander, treasurer. 1940- 1941 And then before we realized it, we were seniors. This was our big year. Our first official duty was to choose our class officers which were as follows: William Webster, president; Muriel Cunningham, vice-president; Virginia Vanston, secretary; and William Alexander, treasurer. As days passed into weeks and weeks into months, we began to realize what the education we had been getting was going to mean to us v.hen we had graduated. The Senior Play, What A Life. was a howling success, and we appreciate the hard work put into it to make it so. First thing we knew it was Commencement Week with the Reception, Banquet, Class Day and finally Graduation. As our childhood dream of Graduation has been reached, we look forward to greater tasks to accomplish and further lives to live. 18
