NAYATT SCHOOL l falm 'w :y,,, PROC RE55 dau Wcblwzq 7TH GRADE-The class of 1956 first assembled as a group in the fall of 1950, when we entered L.R. Peck High School as seventh graders. Wewere assigned to the home rooms 'of Mrs. Speakman, Mr. Williamson, and Mr. Reid. Needless to say, the system of changing rooms and teachers, for each class, in- trigued us all. Classes in crafts taught by Miss lsherwood, art, under the direction, of Mrs. Burns, and manual training, with Mr. Williamson as instructor, furnished us with many enjoyable experiences which will surely be recalled in future years. Our teachers little realized what a unique class this was to become. 8TH GRADE-In the eighth, our presence was enioyed by the following homeroom teachers: Miss lsherwood, Mr. Barrett, and Mr. Biber. This year, because of double sessions, we were for- tunate enough to attend school during the morning, leaving us long, carefree afternoons. The scholastic highlight of the year was the United Nations debate, which was held under the supervision of Mr. Biber. The regular Friday evening canteen offered many of us our first opportunity to display our social interests. 9TH GRADE-We entered the new Barrington High School build- ing as freshmen with a spirit of eagerness, determined to make the most of our high school career and, therefore, to look at things a little more seriously. This sentiment was little realized by Miss Walch, Miss Baker, and Mr. Pinsky, and Miss Gibbs, our homeroom teachers. Members of the faculty were aghast when a missing quantity of copper sulfate turned up in the new aquarium dissolved along with several very dead fish. We all looked forward to the prestige we would gain by holding our first class meeting. The class officers chosen at this meeting were: Richard Butler, President, Ted O'Halloran, Vice President, Ruth Shaw, Secretary, Nancy Ryder, Treasurer, and Judy Fine, Chairman of the Social Committee. Mr. Pinsky, the new social studies teacher, was selected to be our class advisor. Our major social event of the year, the Freshman Class Party, was enioyed by all who attended. It was during this year that several of our boys began to show outstanding athletic ability, while many of the girls took an active part in the functions of the B.G.A.A. 10TH GRADE-We had firmly established ourselves as stalwart B.H.S. students when we returned as sophomores in September of 1953 and greeted our homeroom teachers, Miss Gibbs, Miss Baker, and Mr. Pinsky. We chose the following officers to guide us through the year: Don Minot, President, Richard Butler, Vice President, Sally Wood, Secretary, Joan Knox, Treasurer, and Doris Estep, Social Committee Chairman. 43
