SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The first meeting of the senior class was held on September 21, 194-1. The following class officers were elected: President----------Floyd Johnston Vice-President-----John Kovaleski Secretary----------Grace Reardon Treasurer----------Jean Wood The enrollment of seniors at the commencement of the year was fifty-nine, thirty-two of which were boys and twenty-seven of which were girls. Two students, however, left school, leaving a graduation class of fifty-seven. During the school year many meetings were held to discuss rings, pictures, and plans for graduation. These discussions finally ended in our selecting committees to do any work which had. to be done. This committee system worked out very well, especially in regard to our class rings. We received them in November which is considered very early. At one of our class meetings Mr. Davenport spoke on Qualities Necessary for Graduation and Employment. This talk proved interesting as well as helpful to the seniors as graduation approaches and will probably be helpful to them in the future. For the past three years there has been a gossip column on activities in the school entitled the Snooping Senior which appears weekly in the Thonastcn Express. The writer of this column is a Senior whose identity is not known until the close of school. Our class pictures were taken the latter part of February by Loring Studios. They were received in March. Because of the increasing need for defense workers, Seniors who wore able to find jobs were allowed to leave school after the third-marking period. If these jobs are approved by Mr. Davenport, you are giv n credit towards graduation Some of the Seniors did find their places in defense industries and returned in June to graduate. In March, many students signed up for the four new courses offered, to Seniors and. Juniors in order to train them for work in defense industries after graduation. These courses consisted of First Aid, Mechanical Drawing, Typing and Office Practice. The year passed very swiftly as we speeded up our program to take our places in defense industries. 11 Cecelia Kakowski '42
