 Messrs. BerkoWitz

Forcibly and hastily, the city edi- tor of the New York Times proceed ed to sort out his copy turned in by reporters. The telegraph wires hummed with sensational stories. The city room was hive of activity and confusion with reporters seek ing to scoop their rivals.
 Chewing nervously on the end of a fresh unllghted cigar. the city edi- tor, after wading through a sea of telegrams. copy paper and news clippings turned to his star reporter, William Ross and said, Say Bill, our special correspondent in Chica- go sent us wire that Isadore Iko- witz and Stanley Neverdoski are to try for a new endurance record, namely a sleep marathon
 Alice Cutie, the society editor, breaks up a lively conversation with her assistant, Florence Anderson. and states that a wire has just been received with the startling news that Mary Osmian Sikora, daughter of A. Stanley Sikora, prominent airship manufacturer, announced her en- gagement to Joseph Bogdanski, noted athlete and Nathan Lipman' s choice for All-America honors.
 A radiogram from the Leyiathan correspondent states that Stella Roscoe and her co-pilot and naviga- tor, Oscar Anderson, have just been picked up in mid-Atlantic.

Class History, By Paul Cianci

While l was walking to school and just about to drop dead from the heat, I saw a New York car halted by the stop light. I walked up to the car and asked the driver for a lift to school He told me to hop in. I entered his car and sat n the front seat with him. Next, we began a conversation as follows
 He: Where you headed for?'
 Me: I'm going to school" He: How far down is it? ?"
 Me: Well, take your first right and go straight down, and you can let me off at the first corner.
 Suddenly the driver gave a shout of surprise and said:
 Why, I remau Der! Fifteen years ago I attended this school for a few months and my class color was blue"
 At this point in the conversation he was to let me off. As he stopped the car. he asked me to sit awhile and tell him about cur class. I did so. and related the following account:
 During my freshman year. we received a notice, saying that cleo tions for class officers would be held the next day. The outcome of this election was: Pres, Nr, William Ross; Tice-Pr Miss Bernice Boil man; Secretary, Miss Dorothy Potts; Treas, Ir Robert Hodge.
 During the football season we had our president, MT. Ross, work ing for position. and also our oth- CT athletes who were; Brute" New erdoski. Wesoly, Buggy" Bogdan- ski, and Note Lipman.
 In basketball. baseball and track we had our men working to raise our blue high in the air.
 Monograms were awarded 10 some of our athletes and those who didn't receive their monogram were to receive them the following year.
 Class day arrived and our class periods were cut short. At 12:t5 that noon as you looked down fresh man alley, there was our blue which shone in the bright sun IS jewels shine in the eyes of a wo- man. We held our heads high and raised our color, and later in the day we attended the dance at the gym. which is held every class day.
 Graduation in June ended our freshman year and we left for the summer vacation to wait impatient ly for September to come, because
New Britain herald., 1930-06-17

we would no longer be Freshmen, | but Juniors.
 | September arrived at last. and on the opening of school everybody seemed to be on time to greet their old friends The students were dressed so well t4at they provide l the atmosphere 6t d high-p priced college.
 Soon we started our work. and later elected our class officers again, which were the same as m the previous year, except that Mir. Rob- ert Hodge was defeated by NJ. Oscar Steege.
 Football practice was called and the blue men went 10 work again, several receiving their desired posi- tions. Wesoly had 10 stop playing because Of injuries during q game. With football over. we had our basketball. baseball and track sea- sons which were cheered my many victories
 That year we elected our sport captains for 1929-l93o, and our class had the honor to hold three places.
 We had Buggy" Bogdanski for our baseball captain. Note" Lip man. our star guard as our basket ball captain. and our big he-man. Neverdoski, as our track captain.
 At class day that year our blue showed up more than in the previ- ous year Dancing was not held n ,he gym because new gym was t0 be put into its place. Graduation ended our second year, Now we are Seniors. the ambi- ton of freshmen, and as we had the privilege to attend Senior Club par ties. we did SO regularly and in large numbers.
 Election Of our class officers was held. and the outcome was the same as in the Junior year.
 Our football team had many of our blue athletes fighting on the gridiron for the blue and for the red and gold. All that the football team needed was a brainy quarter back and MT. Ross filled that posi- ton. How could Hartford ever beat us with q man like Neverdoski at tackle? Ross had the ball. he threw it. where7 to Buggy" and 2 touch- down for \. B, It was Buggy" who caught all of those long and furi- GUS passes
 We elected Senior Club officers which were: Pres, Mir. Frank O'Brien; Vica-Pres.. Miss Leona Naughton; Secretary, Miss Mary Alice Mangan. Treasurer Mir Will liam Ross.
 Our class day was enjoyed by all and we had dancing n our new gym in which We were entertained by a hot and modernistic seven piece orchestra. Dancing was allow ed in both the boys and girls gym so as 10 make room for the crowd.
 The Burns Memorial was granted 10 Mir. Joseph Waiter Bogdanski. who is considered one Of the best athletes and scholars ever to receive the Burns Memorial Award, and he will always be remembered by his class.
 We gave a Senior Club Minstrel and 1t was a WOW. With the help of the faculty and the student body, including the alumni, the show was q great success.
 AS l was about to finish telling the history of our class, I heard the warning bell ringing. so I bid the man goodbye. That was the reason I was late that afternoon, but I was admitted non-tardy by Miss West lake.
