The goal of all our money-raising campaigns was our class trip to New York City. We went to New York on April 16, and returned home on April 19. While there, we visited among other places : the Statue of Liberty, the Chrysler War Exhibit, Rocke- feller Center, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, the National Broadcasting Company, and La Guardia Field. We also saw the ice show, “Hats Off To Ice.”

14 ’ 4 5 Our financial success during- the past year was due largely to the kind support and co-operation of our fellow schoolmates and the residents of Sutton. To all who have aided us, we say, “Thank you.” The class is deeply appreciative of the assistance given us by the faculty — especially, Mr. Butler for his help in the com- mercial department, and Miss Donnelly, our class adviser. SPEAKING CONTEST The annual speaking contest was held on April 27 in the Sutton Town Hall. Those participating were: seniors, David King and John Conway; juniors, Eleanor Peterson, Robert Brig- ham, and Arthur Learned; sophomores, Ann Stockwell, Jane Fulton, and Josephine Piatczyc; freshman, Nancy Smith. This contest is financed by the Sutton High School Alumni Association Platform Speaking Fund. The prizes were awarded as follows: third prize to John Conway, “A Father’s Farewell to His Son Entering the Army”; second prize to Eleanor Peterson, “Janice Entertains Her Sis- ter’s Beau” ; and first prize to David King, “The Madman.” EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES To supplement our regular school curriculum and to provide periods of subjects of particular interest, four student clubs were formed during the past school year. The Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Donnelly, under- took and successfully completed many choral numbers. The Book Club, under the leadership of Miss Mulcahy, has met regularly and discussed books read. Modern best sellers were the predominant interest of this club. The Dramatic Club, of which Mr. Butler had charge, read and discussed contemporary plays. The Sports Club, under the supervision of Mr. Morris, dis- cussed sports and sporting problems during these periods. Th4s year a new experiment in the form of an orchestra was begun under the directorship of Miss Donnelly. The members of the orchestra were: Nancy Smith, violinist; Gertrude King, trumpeter; Robert Sanger, saxophonist; Norton Clarkson, drum- mer ; Marion Marble and David King, pianists. The orchestra per- formed publicly at the Speaking Contest and at the Athletic As- sociation plays.
