The report of tho ~superlntendcnt
cited the occupancy of the Mary A.

as the outstanding event of the year.
With the facilities thus afforded
there will be no difficulty in enlarg-
ing the student body to meet the

to the hon: and school at the rate
of 810,000 a year. This it is believed

the best. representation in the street
parade. All \\‘1‘l‘1) presented with
handsome loving cups.
The street parade “as true to the
type of the usual Columbus Day
fashion but an innovation this year
was the presence of a number of
gully decorated automobiles in the
line.
The line of march up West ave-
nue to Norwnlk and return found
great crowds on the streets. The for.
mations disbanded at lillt's home.
and it was here that a mass meeting.
was held. Mayor Thomas llobins, a
guest of honor spoke briefly in high
praise 0 film holiday and of its p.1-
tron. us did Attorney John Cuneo.
Who recalled some of the important
and interesting facts occasioning the
celebration of Columbus Day.
licv. Joseph lialy assistant pastor
of St. Joseph's church. was the chief
speaker of the meeting. In Italian
he graphically recalled the early life
of Columbus. his triils and troubles
and of his final success and accent-
plishment.
Attorney John Cuneo led the Ry-
resentation of the celebration com-
mittee in the line. and this followed
by representations of all local Italian
Societies. incidental floats. and the
Sons of Italy Band.
Two of the most attractive floats
in line were those of the I. K. Pol.
icy Refrigerating company. the prize
winner. and the Sons of holy float.
on which were represented Colum-
bus and Queen Isabella.

were served at the home. and from

The highlight of the evening's
program was a beauty contest which
began at 11 o'clock. The affair was
in the nature of a grand march. the
couples passing before the board of
judges which included Manug H.
Manugian. Anthony Carbone and
John Tucci. The gentlemen then
stepped off the floor and the girls
marched before the judge singly. It
was hard to make a decision. and
while two of the judges were in fa-
vor of Mrs. Ethel Audino. a. real
Italian beauty. the other apparently
favored another pretty entrant. For
sometime the large audience made
suggestions to the board of judges.
which could not come to a decision
and finally resigned. Then Joseph
Laspragato. James Neri and an out
of town visitor were named judges
and after much deliberation they
decided on Miss Annabelle Malone. a
cute East Norwalk miss. as “Miss
Norwalk." She was presented with a.
silver loving cup.
