The Senior Class on September 14, 1939 assembled in the new Thomaston High School auditorium to hold their first class meeting. On each Senior's mind was the knowledge that much was to be done during the Senior year. Pictures and rings had to be bought and graduation exercises planned. At this meeting the following officers were elected: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Lynn Atwood Elmer Middlebrook John Longo Nellie Tanski The Senior Class is made up of 47 members. The class would have been larger if several of its former members had not had to be transferred to the Litchfield High School. These include: Helena Desrochers, Rosalyn Grieco, Edith Hockey, Frances Lane, Andrew Desrochers, Geraldine Remsen, Alice White.
