CLASS HISTORY

In September, 1922, fifty-seven young, inno-cent looking Freshmen gathered in Room 9with Miss Edith Robinson to whom we arethankful for her "friendliness" to the Fresh-men.

At our first class-meeting, we elected asPresident, Truman Lewis; Vice-President, Wil-liam Glover; Secretary, Franklin Painter, andTreasurer, Bernice Dayton.

Although we did not understand the manysecrets, we soon took part in school activities.Our girls decided to have a "hair ribbon day,"but our older sisters succeeded in adorningmany prominent places with our ribbons. Theboys, as their part of initiation, came into closecontact with the water fountains. But ourFreshmen days were soon over and we soonfound ourselves at the beginning of our Sopho-more year.

In September, 1923, forty-two Sophomores,assembled in Room 10 under the supervision ofMiss Hitchcock. Although many of our class-mates of the previous year were missing, wefound in our midst four new girls, three ofthem with "red hair." Later in the year Millerand Marchie honored us by joining our ranks.

Our officers for this year were: President,Earl Donston; Vice-President, Franklin Painter;Secretary, Ruth Alf ord; Treas TrumanLewis.

Our class started out to capture "prizes";the first one, a large banner, for selling the

greatest number of tickets for the first basketball game.

Dicken's "Christmas Carol" was presentedby the Sophomore English class in Decemberand our guests, the eighth grade of BaldwinSchool, enjoyed it immensely.

After the holidays a "Skating Party" washeld at the Oakville Pond. The skating wasenjoyed by all until a drizzly rain started inabout nine o'clock. Never mind—Polly had agood time.

Again, our school spirit was shown in thelarge number of tags that the Sophomores soldfor the Baseball Fund.

Toward the end of the year, an A. A. meet-ing was held and as a result, Painter and Don-ston were soon wearing white sweaters, thereward for the Basketball Service.

Before we realize that the Sophomore yearwas so near the end, our exams were the centerof attraction. We all left for our vacations,with cheerful thoughts of becoming Juniors inSeptember.

Our Junior year started on a bright sunnyday in September, 1924. We were taken inhand by our new Room Teacher, Miss Lovett,in such a way that we should be well preparedfor our "dignified" station in our Senior Room.Her many mottoes were a great incentive to usduring our memorable Junior Year.

A class-meeting was held and elections

CLASS BOOK Page Fifteen

were as follows: President, Earl Donston;Vice-President, Franklin Painter; Secretaryand Treasurer, Helen Johnson.

Our class was noted for selling things fromtickets to candy. During this year the AthleticAssociation offered a banner to the classobtaining the largest amount on "Tag Day"and we won the banner.

In the spring, the English class gave twoshort plays entitled, "Two Crooks and a Lady,"and "Wuprzel-Flummery," and prepared usfor our future dramatic activities.

Before the close of our Junior year the GleeClub took a hike to Nonewaug, where a greatmany enjoyed the good times afforded by theFalls. Ask some of the GIRLS.

The Junior Prom, in honor of our worthyclassmates, the Seniors, proved to be a mostdelightful affair.

Our Senior Year began September 9, 1925,when thirty-three Seniors assembled in theSenior Room with Miss Fenton, as our leader.This year was to be a very busy one, under theleadership of Franklin Painter, President; EarlDonston, Vice-President, and Raymond Brown,Secretary and Treasurer.

The first undertaking was the publishing ofa school paper. Miss Brush called a meetingof the Senior English Classes and suggestedthat the Seniors should issue a school paper.Our class, under the direction of Miss Brushand Mr. Haigh, decided to publish the "Sen-tinel." The school paper was of interest to alland many letters of congratulations were re-ceived from friends and Alumni.

Soon our Class rings appeared,—someclass!

The Juniors started our social activities bygiving the Senior Class a Hallowe'en party inOakville. Agnes Panilaitis receiving first prizefor the best costume.

Another organization was formed. Yes,indeed, our French Club, under the directionof Miss Marshall, will always be rememberedby all the Seniors who have certainly enjoyedand benefited from our meetings.

In October, President Painter received achallenge from the Juniors for a Dramatic con-test. As a result, two plays, "The TrystingPlace" by the Seniors, and "The Hero of SantaMaria" by the Juniors, were presented withthe result a victory for the Seniors. The pro-ceeds were given to the Athletic Association.

The three upper classes with Mr. Haigh'shelp formed a "Debating Society," which wasenjoyed by all.

The Operetta was another part of theSenior Activities. The Senior Play, "She Stoopsto Conquer," was chosen by the Seniors andwas well presented.

We now commenced work on our YearBook, and with the co-operation of all the class,Mr. Cook, Miss Fenton and Miss Brush, wesoon had our work completed.

Plans for "Class Night" and Graduationwere decided upon and before we could real-ize it, our High School days were over. Wewill always remember these days and we wishto express our sincere thanks to our friends, theFaculty.

CLASS POEM

Our years of High School life have passed,We stand where the cross-roads meet.

How many will find the road to successBeneath their climbing feet?

For four years we have been planning,And striving with honest endeavor

To find the key to life's mazes;We have all been working together.

And these days not only in workingBut in sport and fun were spent.

And whatever the undertakingWe've found what good sportsmanship

meant.

We have felt the high thrill of victory,We have known the glory of fame,

But always, winning or losing,Our motto was "Just play the game."

By this, and hard work we will conquer,Succeed when life's race is on—

Our guide and our aid these four yearsOf school days too quickly gone.

Classmates, we have come to the parting,Our ways now before us lie;

But whatever we do—, wherever we goWe'll remember Watertown High.

Agnes Cosgrove, W. H. S. '26.

LE CERCLE FRANCAIS

The Senior French Class under the capabledirection of Miss Marshall formed a Frenchclub soon after school started last September.The purpose of this club is to aid the pupils inacquiring good French conversational ability,and at the same time to furnish fun.

The first meeting was held at Miss Marshall'srooms. Gilbert Strubell was elected President;Ralph Brandely, Secretary, and Agnes Cos-grove, Treasurer of the club. The constitutionand creed of the club were drawn up and dulysigned by all members.

After Christmas, several Juniors were ad-mitted so that the work of the club will con-tinue next year. It is necessary, for member-ship for them to obtain and maintain a highaverage in French.

To show the progress made by the Club, apublic meeting was held in Room 8, in March.The business part of the meeting was carriedout in good order. The literary portion of the

program proved most interesting. A playlet,"'La Plaisanterie," was most successfully pre-sented by Ralph Brandely, Raymond Brownand Gilbert Strubell. Miss Marshall cannot betoo highly praised for the excellent work shehas done with the club, in making it both profit-able and interesting.

The following are members of the Club : MissMarshall, Gilbert Strubell, Ralph Brandely,Raymond Brown, Franklin Painter, RussellBeach, Jeannette Parker, Agnes Cosgrove, Ag-nes Panilaitis, Helen Farrell, Earl Donston,Abbie Seaver and Julia Davidson.

Howard Hickox, the best French student inthe Junior class, is also a member of the club,but due to an unfortunate illness has been ableto take no active part in the work of the Club.

The French Club of 1925-1926 has proved amost important organization and the membersappreciate the efforts of Miss Marshall.

THE SENTINEL

One of the most memorable accomplish-ments of our High School career and one offwhich we are most proud, was suggested byMiss Brush. In the very first part of our SeniorYear, Miss Brush proposed in the presence ofthe combined Senior English classes that weestablish a school newspaper. The spontaneityof the approval of her idea gave such encour-agement that the next day the Staff was chosen.There was keen competition for the Chief Edi-torship between Donston, Miss Cosgrove,Brown and Glover. After two separate votesthere was a victory for Raymond Brown; aschairman (ex-officer of the staff) Brown pro-ceeded with the election of the other officers:

Editor-in-Chief—Raymond BrownAssistant Editors—Ruth Alford, Gilbert StrubellBusiness Manager—William GloverAssistant Business Manager—Howard HickcoxGirls' Sport Editor—Helen JohnsonBoys' Sport Editor—Earl Donston.

Enthusiasm ran high at this juncture andsoon it was planned to have the newspaper afour-page, 9 in. by 12 in. affair, at first. At aclass meeting later it was christened "The Sen-tinel." The enterprizing merchants of the

town responded readily with advertisements.The first issue of "Our Masterpiece" came fromthe press October 5 and monthly thereafter.

The splendid backing of the whole schoolsoon built up a circulation of about two hun-dred copies and made possible six pages afterthe first issue. The Staff deserves great creditfor the hours' work and thought that went intoeach issue of "The Pride of the WatertownHigh." It can rightly be called "Our Pride,"because all our best went into it and we wererewarded by letters of congratulation fromformer teachers and Alumni, also from Floridaand Pennsylvania High Schools; it receivedfavorable mention as was given in the Crosby"Argus."

The Sentinel passed into the Juniors' handsin time for the March issue. Our (the staff's)sincerest wish is for the future prosperity of"The Sentinel" under the editorship of EleanorJohnson, Abbie Seaver, Josephine Wildman,Margaret Vought, Oberline Jarlett, HelenLewis, Josephine Hotchkiss, Julia Davidson,Russell Beach, Joseph Barry, Everett Cook andWilliam Keilty, with the capable assistance ofMr. Haigh.

GLEE CLUBThis year our new music teacher, Miss

Johnson, set in motion an ambitious programwith the very beginning of the year.

Miss Johnson issued a call for members forGlee Club to meet in Room 9; about eighty-five

songsters responded. They proceeded withelections, resulting in the choice of Sally Judsonfor Secretary of the Club. The Club met onevery Thursday in the third period.

The Director, Miss Johnson, did not, how-

ever, confine her efforts to this one group, butoriginated the Ukulele Club to interest anotherbody of students, skilled otherwise than vo-cally. There were about forty-five producersof melodious noise enrolled. The four tunemasters were: Barbara Reynolds, Helen Far-rell, Alice Wigglesworth and Inez Birdsall.

For those students more advanced in theinstrumental branch of music, special opportun-ity was given by the formation of the HighSchool Orchestra, consisting of six pieces underthe direction of Miss Johnson. The membersare:Pianist—Georgette Perault.Violinists—Victor Yokubaitas, Harold White, Carl

Swenson.Cornetist—Irving Doolittle.Drummer—Bronson Atwood.

The Operetta.

After much painstaking study, Miss John-son selected the 1926 Operetta entitled "TheMaid and the Middy."

"The Maid and the Middy" was a verymuch enjoyed entertainment which provided aprofitable evening of laughs and much prettymusic to the audience. As is the case with allHigh School Operettas, the plot is very simple,being based upon the mistaken identity of"Antia," who was believed to be a girl until theclimax when it was revealed that she was aparrot.

There were fourteen principal charactersbesides choruses.

GIRLS' BASKET BALL

Captain—Helen Johnson.

As far as the number of victories is con-cerned, the girls' team did not have a very suc-cessful season this year, having won but fiveout of thirteen games. But the team kept upthe traditional Watertown spirit by fightinguntil the final whistle blew, no matter howfaint the hope of victory was. It was this fight-ing spirit that brought about the unlooked forvictory over the fast Naugatuck High girls—afeat which has been equalled only by the statechampion Bridgeport team this season.

Because W. H. S. was not in the League thisyear, much interest in basket ball was lost.Consequently the team was handicapped in thebeginning of the season by the scarcity of can-didates for the vacant positions. Mr. Delanddeserves great credit for his untiring efforts incoaching and bringing the material on handinto form.

Those who proved faithful were: For-wards, Captain Helen Johnson, JosephineWildman; centers, Josephine Hotchkiss, Beat-rice Windebank; guards, Agnes Cosgrove,Sarah Judson; substitutes, Helen Lewis, AgnesPanilaitis, Molly Yard and Marion Hassel.

Manager—Josephine Wildman.

Three regulars and one sub will be lost bygraduation, but there is good material left fornext year's team.

Helen Johnson, as high scorer, has been amost capable player for three years. Alwaysready and faithful, Helen's skill in handlingthe baskets has been in evidence in every game.Her absence on next year's team will be keenlyfelt.

BOYS' BASKET BALLCaptain Franklin Painter.

Although not as successful as in formeryears, the basket ball team of 1925-1926 wasdeveloped by Coach Deland and made a favor-able record. Watertown did not enter theleague this year, but there was just as muchinterest in the games that were played. Outof sixteen games played, Watertown won 8 andlost 8.

The greatest victory was the one thatWatertown scored over Wilby in one of thebest games of the year.

The burden of the work rested on theshoulders of Captain Painter, Keilty (highscorer), and Murphy as forwards; and Bryanand Osborn as guards. Flynn, Hartwell, Ding-well and Klimpke were all new men, but devel-oped rapidly for the first year.

The team felt the loss of Earl Donston thisyear, who has been a most valuable player forthree years.

The record of the team is as follows:

Captain—Walter Osborn.

A number of candidates for battery prac-tice answered Coach Deland's call for practiceon March 26. This part of the team will beweak because of its loss through graduationof Cook and Irving Donston.

We have Keilty for onepitcher, while in the infield we will have.,Os-born at first, Flynn at second, Bryan at short-stop and Dains at third. In the outfield therewill be Murphy, Roy and Magnuson and othersubstitutes. The first regular practice startedon April 13, which was the first real workoutof the team.
