In October, the class elections were held with results as follows: President, Francis Ciparelli; Vice-President, Ellen Root; Treasurer, James Colli; Secretary, Marion Holmes; Athletic Council, John Brown. During the year we attended several interesting and amusing class programs.

In the future, the High School may have more outside sports, as the new athletic field will be completed and more time can be given to the members of the school. In the early spring, the boys reported for pract ' ce under the super¬ vision of Coach Robert Jackson. The team consisted of the following— Seniors: Andrew Gaudette, Joseph Dursa, Guerino Pellegrini, James Price, Vincent Dowd and Victor Malec. Juniors: John Ma urek and Robert Mc¬ Kenna.
