Young Iunior High School for the first time, as students. They spent a happy year here. Returning less bewildered in the fall of '38 some of the members brought glory both to themselves and to their school by winning the Swope award of twenty-five dollars for their short story project under the guidance of Miss Newton. In the ninth grade, the school system was changed and it was decided that Isaac E. Young should become a senior high school. In spite of the fact that we would remain in Isaac E. Young, there was a formal ninth grade graduation with about two hundred and sixty graduating. That year a Very successful dance was sponsored by the class in Iune. The social events of the Sophomore year were a record tea dance held in April, a class luncheon with entertainment by members of the class, and a prom in collaboration with the Iunior class at the end of the year. Returning in the fall of l94l as the present Iunior class, officers were elected who were Bill Reilly, president, Bill Potts, vice-presidentp Peggy' Martin, secre- tary: and Iohn Anson, treasurer. On Valentines Day the class gave its farned carnival, the Iunior Iubilee, where Ioan Bassi was elected Queen of Hearts. The Iunior Prom was held on Iune fifth. Thus the class of '43 completed its first five full years at Isaac E. Young looking forward to an even better year as the second graduating class of Isaac E. Young High School. Norma Harris 23

4 i t ' Y . HISTORY or THE CLASS or '45 QQ!! Last ptember the ninth graders, remembering the pleasant year they had in the eighth grade in Young High School, came to school looking forward to another year of class activity. Although the class was late in getting started, when it was finally organ- zed it proved to be a very wise class in choosing its officers and a very energetic class in planning activities. The president, Paul Lazovick, ably assisted by the vice-president, Louis Canutp secretary, Angelina Ferrara: and ham I ff .-A eff ' 9 treasurer, Billy Dillon, planned a ninth grade dance held in Iune. db 2, The ninth graders fully realize that they have just completed one of the most important years in their high school life and they have tried to make a 1 ' success of their class so that in years to come the Freshman Class in the year fx 1942 will be remembered. rm I Marjorie Atrick , f f ' , it, .A Y y., V' X C-6 . ,i.,, ,Chaka gt 55 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '46 As the gates of school opened at the beginning of the term a new bevy of recruits entered to compose the class of unassuming eighth graders or pre-freshmen. After becoming aware of the fact that they were actually a part of the high school, eighth graders became politically minded and homeroom officers were elected, starting a year of class activities. Several benefits, typical of which were cake , and candy sales, were sponsored by homerooms to raise funds for various causes. Fun was the keynote of Stunt Night, presented May l, by homerooms throughout the school and eighth 'graders received a great boost when Miss Murphy's homeroom,8-120 won first prize in the competition of all grades. This class of eighth graders gives evidence of possessing the spirit and the necessary ability to carry on the traditions and activities which are a part of the Young High School. Lenore Sultzer 'C Z5
