THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 5 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Members of the School Board, Principal, Teachers, Parents, Undergrad¬ uates, and Friends:— It is with great pleasure that I, in the name of the Class of 1933, welcome you here for our Class Night Exercises. We thank you for your kind co-operation during our high school days and for your presence here this evening. To-night, we portray the lighter side of school life with its fun and frolic. We hope you will enjoy our pranks as much as we shall enjoy performing them. There is some sadness, however, mingled with the joy of reaching our long-sought goal, for we realize that some of the happiest days of our lives are now over and we must step out into the world to occupy positions in life held by our predecessors. We have successfully reached our first goal, that of knowledge. Now we must apply that k nowledge as we strive for the far-off goal, “SUCCESS.” Thomas Connolly, ’33. CLASS HISTORY. On September 9, 1929, the renowned and illustrious class of ’33 en¬ tered the portals of Windsor Locks High School. There were forty of us then. After about a week of school the class held its first meeting for the purpose of electing officers. The results were as follows: President, Ray¬ mond Conroy: Vice-President, Mary Dowd; Treasurer, William Queen; Secretary, Anna Shykula: Class Editor, Mary Gandolfi. Later at a special meeting Frank Pohorylo was elected class representative to the Athletic Council. We were proud of our first program which was given in commemo¬ ration of Armistice Day. Later all of the members of the class participated in the preliminary hearing of the Freshman Prize Speaking Contest. The final contest was held March twenty-eight. Mary Dowd won the first prize and the second prize was won by Howard White. Thus our first happy year together dwindled away. Thirty-five of the forty Freshmen returned as Sophomores. We were glad to welcome Robert Taravella, a former student of the Loomis Institute, and Francis Cooney of the Cathedral High School in Springfield. On September nineteenth, a class meeting was held at which the following officers were elected: President, Burton Wadsworth; Vice-Presi¬ dent, William Queen; Secretary, Shirley Jackson; Treasurer, Amelia Rac- cone; Class Editor, Anna Shykula. Shirley Jackson and Donald Cameron were elected as class representatives in the Athletic Council.
