The High School Herald 25 CLASS PROPHECY Information has just reached me that Chester Bobiarz and Francis Gorka have recently organized an Hawaiian swing band, with vocalizing by Michael Molyn and Daniel Christian. I had been told that Carmen Raconne, Anna McCloskey, Florence Libby, Rita Furey and Jean Camp had entered a convent, so naturally I was surprised when I saw them working at a New York night club as Apache dancers. Rita Meade and Phyllis Sheehan have spent so much time on the corner of Spring and Center Streets while going to school, that our police chief has given them the exclusive right to do traffic duty at that spot. Jane Griffin, Florence Pohcrylo, Helen Mazur and Lena Marinone have all settled down and married. The strange thing is, they have all married city dudes from Scantic”. John Sheridan, Ralph Bacon and John Colli have bought cut Marconi’s News-stand. They are covering all the territory east of the Granby Mountain. Eleanor Scott, Zita Quagliaroli, Florence Sluzinski and Julia Sluzinski, are editors of the new agricultural magazine called The Connecticut Farmer.” Robert McKenna, Valmore Gratton and Jerry Connolly have wen the Rhodes Scholarship and are touring in France studying foreign languages. They major in Russian, Chinese and the ancient classics. After serving a long term of apprenticeship under her father, Doris Jenkins has opened a shoe store of her own, capitalized by Marion Mather, in the Sheridan Block on Main Street. Clarence Roszelle has an important position in one of the famous dress designing houses in Paris. He is assisted by Kathleen Rabbett, Marjorie Quagliaroli and Dorothy Masera. The girls do all the work and Clarence gets all the credit. Alice Friss, Rosemary Draghi, Florence Ciparelli, Anna Fitzpatrick and Evelyn Fernette have opened up an employment agency guaranteeing jobs to all W. L. H. S. Graduates. They promise a position with a four-hour day, 6 weeks ' vacation, and not less than $10,000 to start. CLASS POEM There is a ladder before us, A ladder that touches the sky, A ladder that is flimsy and fickle, A ladder that reaches on high. Tis that long feught-fer and envied ladder of life At the top of which lies success. Tis a long, hard climb to the topmost rung But we will take no less. Now we ' re at the middle rung We know not what’s cur fate, But at the top at the Judgment Day Will be the Class of Thirty-Eight. Michael Molyn, ’38.

24 The High School Herald gravity cf knowledge, with the strength of men controlled by the foresight of intelli- gence, and with the ambition of patriots fired with true love ct country. Classmates: Before we take the step from the care-free days of high school adoles¬ cence to the manhood of life, let us simply say that we shall be eternally grateful to those who have helped to make our four years of high schoo life profitable and enjoy¬ able in any way. And in memory of those people, let us take this vow: that we will leave to posterity a better world to live in than we found it when we entered it. Michael Molyn. ‘38. HISTORY OF THF CLASS OF 1938 The fall cf 1934 marks one cf the most brilliant epochs of all history, because in that year the intellectual class cf 1938 entered the Windsor Locks High School. We were a group of seventy-five students, destined to make ourselves famous under the able guidance of the following officers: Irene Galipeau, George Connolly, Jean Campanosi and Francis Wallace. We made cur first public appearance at an Easter program, and then later we took part in a Recreation program. A few weeks later cur industrious class held a sandwich sale, the profits being used for sporting goods. The next year fifty-three freshmen enrolled as sophomores. Class officers were as follows: President. ' John Colli; Vice-President, Francis Gorka; Secretary, Irene Galipeau; Treasurer, Anna Albani. As we were not so very busy during cur Sophomore year with special functions, our thoughts were confined chiefly on a Christmas program. The following year, thirty-nine pupils enrolled as unsophisticated Juniors. The officers chosen were President, John Colli; Vice-President, Irene Galipeau; Secretary, Jean Campanosi ; Treasurer, Francis Gorka. During this year the Junior Prom was held, which proved to be a real social and financial success. 1 hen on June 2, at St. Mary s Hall, the annual Junior Essay Contest was presented. In the course of the year we sponsored sandwich and cake sales to increase our treasury. In September, as dignified Seniors, we were back for cur last year at high school. The selected officers were President, John Colli; Vice-President, Michael Molyn; Secre¬ tary, Jean Campanosi; Treasurer, Rita Furey. Later the successful plays, ‘ The Teapot on the Rock and Bargains in Cathay , were presented by the Seniors, on February 18. During the year the Seniors sponsored socials which were carried on in a unique manner. In May, cur pictures were taken at the Brown Studio, and then cur th oughts were bent on graduation. On June 10, the Seniors held their Commencement Dance at the Memorial Hall and on June 15 the class attended their annual banquet at the Highland Hotel In conclusion, let me say that this brilliant and intellectual class leaves behind them an example any class might try to follow. The prescription for this is simply to follow our motto Through Trials to Triumphs. Jean Campanosi, ‘38.

26 The High School Herald CLASS SONGS Tune: Good Night, Angel Farewell, classmates. Just one more night together with you Before we leave and take our cares upon us, And bid farewell to those we leave behind. Farewell, classmates, Life’s road will be so lonely without you And to our teachers all, who saw us through. Adieu, classmates, adieu. Rita Meade, ’38, Marion Mather, ’38, Phyllis Sheehan, ’38. Tune: At the End of a Perfect Day $ We’ve reached the end of four perfect years Of joy, and care, and strife, And at the end of these perfect years We earnestly must face life. Through trials and triumphs to reach cur goal We our carefree way did wend, Now at the end of four perfect years Our high school days must end. Michael Molyn, ’38.
