SEMAPHORE 19 42 19 42 CLASS HISTORY Ah ! How well we remember that long summer — that summer when we were waiting to see what it would all be like. And then, finally that day came when we entered and saw what we were in for. The seniors didn ' t know us; the juniors hardly recognized us; and the sophomores sometimes spoke to us; but we, as freshmen, knew what we were. 1938- 1939 Let us retrace that day four years ago when we first stepped into the halls of S. H. S. Oh, what a happy day that was for all of us. We thought we were so important until the upperclassmen came in and treated us like dirt under their feet. But they soon got over this when they saw how important we were to the school. That year we held a Freshmen Dance which hasn ' t been equalled since. The Student Council was also well represented this year by the class of ' 42 by Mary DeVito and Charles Leonard. 1939- 1940 In the fall of 1939 when we entered Stoughton High as sophomores, all the suffering we had endured as freshmen was gone. It was then our turn for we had now become up- perclassmen and an important element to the school. This was the year of our first election which resulted in the following; Robert Neylon, president; Patricia Neylon, vice-presi- dent; Mary DeVito, secretary; George Terrell, treasurer. Our class again sponsored an annual dance, our Halloween Dance, which was a howling success. 1940- 1941 Bang! This was the year when we returned as proud juniors determined to make it a successful year, and that we did. We hel d an overwhelming successful Prom this year with Muriel Cunningham as queen. The ring we chose had a black stone set into a gold band with the school seal on it. One of our most important duties was to select our class officers which were as follows: Robert Neylon, president; Patricia Neylon, vice-president; Mary DeVito, secretary; Robert Magee, treasurer. 1941- 1942 Then we had made it. Our big year had arrived. We were now proud seniors. Our first duty was to select our class officers which consisted of: Neil O ' Donnell, president; Patricia Neylon, vice-president; Mary DeVito, secretary; Robert Magee, treasurer. Sep- tember, October, November, December, January, February, and then before we realized it, it was time for our senior play, Ever Since Eve, which was an outstanding success. All the hard work put into it was not done in vain. Then came Commencement Week and the Reception, Banquet, Class Day and finally the day all of us had dreamed about.
