Proceeds of a Cake Sale, held at Barrington Center, helped to finance the Junior Prom which was held on April 23rd. The prevailing theme, April in Paris,', was cleverly accented in the decorations and displays of scenic points of interest, appropriately reminiscent of a typical Parisian atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Queen, Connie Gibson. After a prolonged vacation as a result of the unexpected Hurricane Carol, we entered our senior year with a firm determination to excel in both our scholastic and extracurricular endeavors. Our homeroom teachers for the year were Mrs. Hathaway and Miss Walch. With a slate of carefully chosen class officers, we were soon on our way to a record school year. Our officers were President, Bill Brandy, Vice President, Ted Bromageg Secretary, Janet Woods, Treasurer, Nancy Maclachlang and Social Committee Chairman, Martha Carroll. The Student Council representatives were Dominic DiOrio, Dianne Eldert, and Hans Mautner. The election of the third School President, J ack Mellone, was announced at the first Record Hop of the year, sponsored by the senior class. During Jack's term of office, many worthwhile projects were carried out. Numerous members of the Class of 1955 made envious records, both for themselves and for Barrington High, in all branches of athletics-football, cross country, basketball, track, and baseball. The Christmas formal was acclaimed the greatest social affair since the Junior Prom of '54. The center of attraction was a revolving tree composed entirely of shiny, multi-colored ornaments which glowed as the rays of the spotlights fell upon them. The dramatic ability of some of our group was brought to the fore when the annual Senior Play, Mr. Barryis Etchingsf' was presented before an enthus- iastic audience on the evening of February 12th. At the Senior Banquet, the class had an opportunity to express their apprecia- tion to the faculty members for their untiring efforts to instill in each and every one of us a desire to set and attain worthwhile goals. Our Senior Prom brought to a close our activities as students at Barrington High, and as the sweet notes of Ed Drew's orchestra wafted through the gaily decorated halls of the Squantum Club, our thoughts were filled with countless happy memories of the past.

Z Qing lei , m il ' a si 15 J , ' X ig, as Ggss jflsfory The long awaited day when we would be freshmen at Peck School had finally arrived. Because of the double sessions, we, unlike our numerous predecessors, automatically became full-fledged high school students. Our homeroom teachers for the year were Miss Zwicker, Mr. Martin, and Mrs. Nowak. Mr. Martin was selected to serve as our Class Advisor, and the date for our first class meeting was announced shortly after. With all the fervor and excitement of a political convention, we carried on our election of officers. The successful candidates were President, David Troy, Vice President, Dominic Di0riog Secretary, Ann Giannattasiog Treasurer, Marjorie Dahl, and Social Committee Chairman, Dianne Eldert. Hans Mautner and David Troy represented us on the Student Council. Some Enchanted Evening, our class dance and major social function, was a grand success as we danced to the music of Ralph Stuart and his orchestra. The faculty and entire student body saw great things in store for this Class of 1955, which had already made its presence felt in the various school activities. As we resumed classes in the fall of 1952, not only were we sophomores, but we were housed in the new Barrington High School. Our homeroom teachers for the year were Miss Barton, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Pinsky. Priding ourselves on having a great deal more savoir-faire than the freshmen, we suppressed our real excitement and tried to assume a blase air as we faced the class election of '52. We elected aspour class officers: Hans Mautner, President, Dominic DiOrio, Vice President, Marjorie Dahl, Secretary, and Ann Giannattasio, Treasurer. Dianne Eldert headed our Social Committee. We were ably repre- sented on the Student Council by Dianne Eldert, Nancy Maclachlan, Joe Caito, and Dominic DiOrio. One of our two main social functions of the year was a record review featuring Ernie Anderson, which proved to be an overwhelming success. The other, our class dance, aptly entitled the Cafe Sophomore, took on the atmosphere of a continental night club and again we danced to the melodies of Ralph Stuart and his orchestra. lt was during this year that the office of School President was instituted. This also was Mr. Martin's last year as our Class Advisor, and we bade him a sad farewell as he left to assume his new duties as Principal of Peck Junior High School. As Juniors, we were assigned to the homerooms of Miss Barton, Mr. Barrett, and Miss Haugen. At our first class meeting we selected Mr. Walkden to serve as our Class Advisor. Through his helpful supervision and his sincere interest in our efforts, we were able to carry out a very successful program of activities. Our officers for the year were President, Ted Bromageg Vice President, Fred Blackintong Secretary, Marjorie Dahl, Treasurer, Bill Brandy, and Social Com- mittee Chairman, Dianne Eldert. Student Council representatives included Dominic DiOrio, Hans Mautner, Joe Caito, and Nancy Maclachlan. A new office came into being when Hans Mautner was elected to serve as School Vice 44 X .

Take it away, Jon! Among the host of familiar figures here tonight is Wall Street's only honest tycoon, Jack Mellone. Just in from a visit to South America, ,lack informs us that Hans Mautner, who controls most of the Venezuelan oil wells, has been made chief of the famous Hunt 'em Indian Reservation. The two stately naval men in our midst are none other than Herby Weather- head and Dick Cleveland. Now a cosmologist, Herb is working on Einstein's theory of relativity, while Dick is Chief Mortician. Accompanying the boys in blue are Kaye Kamrath, official Olympic timer, and Marji Dahl, well-known psychiatrist who occasionally writes newspaper articles in which she gives advice to the lovelorn. A delegation from the Indianapolis Speedway includes such notables as: Deanne Gifford, an official talent scout for men drivers, Leo Smith and Elson Stanley, Medalists in the famous Scoot-Away Classics, and Jimmy Cannon, designer of the world's fastest racing car. Jim, it seems, finally sold his famous test car to Josephine Muzzy in spite of the protests of his mid-western agent, ,lay Egge. A list of the entertainers scheduled to perform this evening for their former classmates includes Gloria Mayhew, famous recording star who has already cleared a cool million on her rendition of The Midnight Bluesf' and Wright Horton, successor to Gene Krupa. Serving as M.C. will be Tiny lt7s Bigger Than Both of Us DeStefano, latest replacement for Bilton Merle. Tiny's sec- retary, Barbara Bestwick, informs us that Phyllis Judge is now filling a singing engagement on the West Coast. A group of wealthy businessmen have just entered from the lounge. Among them is Jim Gabarra, owner and general manager of an undersea transportation company, and his secretary Janet Woods. Bob Corvi, President of the National Soda Jerkers' Association, is discussing weighty problems with restaurant owner Jack Wayland. A cablegram from Europe brings greetings to the Class of '55 from Sal Lom- bardi and his charming secretary, Margery Jiacovelli. Sal finally completed the building of the first Trans-Atlantic bridge. The commotion that you hear in the background marks the arrival of M-U-M movie star Carol Cook, who rapidly rose to fame after being named Miss Rhode Island Red-Head of 1964. With her is Nancy D'Ambra, star of the cur- rent Ice Capades. 46
