SCHOOL NEWS On September 9 , 1941 , the Windsor Locks High School opened the first semester with an enrollment as follows: Seniors, 38 ; Juniors, 45 ; Sophomores, 45 ; Freshmen, 66 , or a total of 194 students. Again, as in other years, the High School has sent to the Windsor Locks Journal interesting articles every month. Early in September, simple yet impressive exercises were conducted at the laying of the Corner Stone for the new building. Then from that time until February, everyone was interested in watching the process of constructing the New High School Building. On January 24 , we were ready to move and held our Last Assembly in the Old Building that morning. Many former teachers and members of the Alumni were present and took part in the program.

The annual Senior Play was given in the new Fligh School Auditorium, Thursday, April 17 . It was a farce, in three acts, entitled, The Whole Town ' s Laughing.” It proved to be entertaining as well as a financial success. On April 28 , thirty-five Seniors left for Washington, D. C. Various places of in¬ terest were visited and an enjoyable time was experienced by all. We wish to express our profound gratitude to the American Legion and to all who helped to make this trip possible.
