Class History Although we have spent four long years at Waterford High School, there are many not acquainted with the tides of joy and tribulation on which we, the Class of ’41, have sailed. Let’s try reminiscing and recall a few of them. As unsophisticated freshmen, we began our career by pursuing the customary course of all other freshmen who preceded us and elected Betty Sweeney as our President. Little was accomplished by us other than the filling of a Christmas basket. After the completion of this part of our voyage, we found ourselves sage sophomores. This year saw our brief sojourn in Room 304. We remained as inactive as we had been the year before. We broke the monotony long enough to choose Dorothy Cooper as our leader and then returned to the calm sea on which we had been sailing. Our Junior year was a little more turbulent. We started it as members of 309, and unanimously declared Miss Gainor our advisor. We also named Fred Renzi our President; Betty Sweeney became Vice-President; Virginia Perkins, Secretary and “Jupe” Church, Treasurer. For our class colors, we decided on green and white. Then, we immediately started holding money-making activi- ties, among them everything from dances to a clam chowder sale, for the ultimate culmination of every junior class, the Junior Prom. After much de- liberation and consternation, we selected our class rings, which we displayed with much satisfaction to anyone who would look at them. With Betty Sweeney as general chairman, our prom was the success that we had planned it to be. Our Senior year began with the same rush as our Junior year. We elected Jack Clifford as President; Alex Parissi was chosen Vice-President; Rita Pallozzi became our Treasurer, and Virginia Perkins was again named Secretary. We held a Senior Ball in February, a custom originated two years ago. We also made plans for ways in which to raise money, so that we could realize our dream of re-establishing the practice of issuing a printed year-book instead of a mimeographed one. Now that this dream has come true, we, much to our sorrow, must bid you “Adieu.” - 19 -
