20 THE HIGH SCHOO L HERALD In 1948, Joseph Antonacci was elected Captain; Bruce Hendsey, First Mate; Jeanette Quagliaroli, Second Mate; Adele Carnevale, Purser. On the Athletic Council were Mildred Wallace, Patsy Ruggerio, Philip Oates, and Kenneth Kraiza. The “Diplomat” was chosen as the class ring at a meeting in the fall. The month of May brought the eventful Junior Prom—indeed, a great success. By the time the crew had entered the last months of its glorious journey, the senior year, it had decreased in size, but increased in both knowledge and experience. Bruce Hendsey was elected the ship’s Captain; Philip Oates, First Mate; Marian Koehler, Second Mate; Jeanette Quagliaroli, Purser. For the Athletic Council, Margaret Grummell, Frank Hancock, Patsy Ruggerio, and John Preli were selected. Barbara Fitzpatrick proved that the Senior Class had ability in salesmanship by her successful record of sales in the Magazine Drive. The shipmates proudly passed the goal and set a new record for future classes. Again, in January, this successful crew showed its remarkable ability by the success of its food sale in the Town Clenc ' s office. Indeed, they have talent for acting, as the outcome of their play in April readily proved. The play not only brought out many a Bernhardt, but also many promising actors, and perhaps a new radio crooner. Graduation in June brought the mates to the shore where all high school days ended. But as the pages of history close on this grand little class, a new history has begun. The long journey across the sea of High School Education has been accom¬ plished, but on finishing this journey, the crew must now start cut on a newer and more difficult journey—the journey on the sea of life itself. I know, as always, the outcome will be the same—success to the Shipmates of ’49! Jeanette Quagliaroli 49 CM CM Page

Fifty-seven wide-eyed Freshmen embaiked on the exciting sea called High School Education,” with hope in their hearts for a successful journey. How successful this wonderful journey has been will be seen by the accom¬ plishments of this crew in the years to come. There were many unfamiliar faces and there were many difficult tasks to confront this stalwart crew; yet, this daring group continued on its journey a.ross this strange sea of adventure, High School Education. At their first class meeting, the members on board the good ship Forty-nine” elected Frank Therrian as their Captain; Arthur Russell, First Mate; Dorothy Dowd, Second Mate; Adele Carnevale, Purser. Arthur Russell represented them in t he Athletic Association. The shipmates had their first glimpse of social life cn shipboard at a dance given in their honor sometime in November, 1946. Later, as recorded in the ship’s log, the crew held many socials in the years that followed. At the American Legion Oratorical Contest in 1946, Dorothy Dowd won recog¬ nition for this promising group, by walking off with second prize. In the second year of their voyage, the crew chose Arthur Russell, Captain; Philip Oates, First Mate; Patricia Rielly, Second Mate; Dorothy Dowd, Purser. History repeated itself when Dorothy Dowd again received second place in the Oratorical Contest. Although the second year of the journey seemed a little quiet, this remark¬ able crew was still progressing toward the harbor of success.
