F ) RDIA N CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year September—September, 1928, marks the beginning of our high school days. In initiation we were made to feel the superiority of the sophomores but, being courageous freshmen we were able to withstand these hardships, thus being accepted as real members of the student body. We immediately formed a class and elected Joseph Willetts for our president, while Miss Agnes Mahony became our advisor. November—In this month we made our first attempt to prove our talents bv presenting the Musical Comedy “Kathleen”. It was a huge success and part of the credit goes to our sister class of 1930 who assisted us in this exploit. December—This month brought Christmas time which always means parties and vacation, both of which were graciously welcomed by us. June—This month came along very quickly with it the dreaded regents examinations. However, the first step in our high school career was completed. Sophomore Year September—We returned to resume our studies again, and ready to make the incoming freshmen bow to us as we had done the previous year to our predecessors. As our first year had been so successful, we reelected the same colleagues to lead us onward and upward once more. October—This month we felt the desire to further prove our dramatic ability and therefore combined with the Class of 1930 gave “That’s That”. The large sum of money obtained from this musical revue was put in our Washington fund which was rapidly increasing. December—Christmas time already. We enjoyed a lovely party during which we were entertained by several members of our class. May—Being a very ambitious class, we decided to give another performance this year. This time it was in the form of a Minstrel Show. We asked the Class of 193 l to join us in this endeavor which they did. The production was under the supervision of Miss Helen De Freest, advisor of the Class of ’31, and Miss Agnes Mahony. June—The end of another year and our school days half over. However, we were glad to no longer be considered as mere children to be scorned by upperclassmen.
