The Senior Year Book — 1940 ®hr Junior (Hlaas CLASS OFFICERS Normand Andrews . . President Joseph Capalbo . . Vice President Kenneth Astill was burning. The strange part of it was that he made no attempt to extinguish the flames which swept over his body, but instead proceeded to give his startled audience a demonstration of his uncanny ability to emit very funny remarks absolutely ad libitum (which is Latin for extemporaneously). He was bringing to an end the program which had been so successfully begun by the tap-dancing of Stanley Gould, whose clever and precise imitation of Fred Astaire brought down the house. In going back to Kenneth, we find that he does not confine his wit and imagination to the legitimate (?) stage, but is a writer of no mean ability, and his contributions to that widely read magazine, THE SENIOR, are frequent and well received. Eleanor Neville and Phyllis Brown are other juniors who have had many of their stories printed in the Senior. In addition to this, Eleanor has written a play which may be produced in the auditorium before the end of the year. Speaking of sports (pray, tell us who was?), it is interesting to note that the juniors dominated. Johnny Stellitano, Benny Servideo, Ike Smith, Tom and Joe Capalbo, Stan Russell, Frank Gen-carelli, and more were all members of the squad which is determined to rout Stonington next year, to avenge the two football defeats suffered last fall. Those defeats have already been partly avenged by our basketball team, which went over to Stonington one night and won by a margin which we cannot print because of lack of space. The juniors on our Richard Donati .... Treasurer Hannah Clapham . . . Secretary team were Walt Bressette, Hal Miner, and again, John Stellitano. All of which shows that we are not lacking in enthusiasm for sports. But don’t think we are lacking in school spirit, either. For there was a time, early in the year, when the treasury contained the staggering sum of one dollar. As you may know, with one dollar, a class can’t give a prom, not a very good one, anyway. About all we could do was hire a piano player and hope for the best. As it was, the junior class, realizing that not having a prom would break the hearts of those sturdy alumni who think it a sin to break a tradition, decided to do something about it. So within two days after their minds were made up, the treasury was overflowing with funds, enough to give a promenade so gorgeous as to bring tears to the eyes of the most conservative alumnus. Of course, all this required a little campaigning and persuading on the part of the treasurer, Dick Donati, but it proved that the Class of ’41 has the spirit which is needed to make a class successful. We have attempted to give you a summary of the activities of the junior class of 1941. In doing so, we realize that many well deserving juniors received no mention. To those juniors we extend our humblest apologies. Though some of us succeeded in sports, others in music, literature, dancing, scholarship, dramatics, and art, we all have one thing in common and of that we are proud. We are all members of one of the finest jun-:or classes ever to decorate Westerly High. -•• !( 21
