T II E S A M 1’ L E R 3 -2 CLASS HISTORY Soon we, the class of ’38, shall cease to roam through the halls, which have formerly resounded with our footsteps and hushed whispers. Each one shall set out on his own particular journey of life, hut before we do let us glance back over the past four years. During our first year the class numbered one hundred pupils. We became acquainted with our teachers and tried industriously to do our work. Into our midst we welcomed the students coming from Saxtons’ River School, St. Charles’ School and Westminster. The first honor in Saxtons’ River School was awarded to Rae Stevens; second to Olive Itumney. In St. Charles’ School the first honor for girls was awarded to Jeanette Mor- iarty; first honor for boys to Daniel Howard; honor in Christian Doctrine to Madeline Wolfe. Our bid for fame in the freshman year was our unusual quietness and earnest desire for participation in sports. That year some of the girls, after learning a few fundamentals of basketball, played in the interclass basketball tournament. To the surprise of all, they won! Boys who re- ceived letters for participation in baseball were Sigmunt Sysko and Maurice Dexter; in hockey, Lawrence Hadley. The year ended with a class picnic at Lake Spofford. The next fall we engaged more in extra- curricular activities. Many joined the Spanish Club, which became quite an active organization: others joined the Sophomore division of the Spotlight Club. Rae Stevens, Betsey Ferguson and Daniel Howard had im- portant speaking parts in “Growing Pains,” a three-act play presented by the Dramatic Club before a large appreciative audience. Muriel Heiberg, a student from the Haw- thorne High School, New Jersey, joined us. Again the girls won the interclass basket- ball tournament. In the boy’s sports there were many lettermen: football, William Landers, Robert Roby, Steven Miehniewicz; basketball, Manager, Steven Miehniewicz, Robert Roby; baseball, Maurice Dexter; track, Felix Exner, Samuel Richards; tennis, Lawrence Hadley; hockey, Daniel Howard; girls’ basketball, Catherine Bresland. The year ended with a class picnic at Lake Spofford. In the Autumn some new faces joined our number. From North Walpole, Helen Coffey came to us as Valedictorian; Julia Ostruski as Salutatorian: Patricia Kenneally with third honor; Elizabeth Roland and Philip Tolaro with class day honors. Phyllis Lake, after much moving about from Honolulu, Hawaii, to New York, to Maryland and back to New York, finally joined us. Charles Barber, also quite a traveller, having lived in Keene, Claremont, and Lebanon, joined us. Mar- garet Peontak entered in November from Fitchburg. Massachusetts. Our first active social event, the Junior Prom, aroused us from the drowsy stupor into which we had fallen. This event was success- ful from both a social and financial point of view. In June we had charge of the Senior Hop, which, like the former event, was successful. Our officers for the year were President, Lawrence Hadley; Vice-president, Gordon Graham; Secretary, Betsey Ferguson, Treas- urer, Sigmunt Sysko. Many things were outstanding during this year. The Enchanted Isle,” which in- cluded Charles Barber, Roy Cookson, Dorothy Dickinson, Betsey Ferguson, Marie Kilburn, Sam Richards, Roy Ruggles and Olive Rutnuey in the cast, was presented by the Glee Club. That year, also, saw the birth of the student patrol with Lawrence Hadley as Lieutenant. This same year Lawrence Hadley with Max Miller won the champion- ship in the tennis doubles at Brattleboro, Vermont. This year more of our number received letters for participation in sports: in football, Lawrence Hadley, Steven Miehniewicz, Rob- ert Roby; in hockey, Raymond Cray, Law- rence Hadley. Daniel Howard, Herbert Niles, Sigmunt Sysko; in baseball, Dana Costin, Maurice Dexter, James Diggins; in basket- ball, Robert Roby; in track. Lawrence Had- ley, Charles Lyon. Lawrence Hadley was a four letter man, having received a letter in football, hockey, track, and tennis. The girls who received letters in basketball were Catherine Breslend, Bertha Smith and Rita Young. The girls again won the interclass basketball tournament. Later in the winter the production “ Jonesy” was presented by the Spotlight Club. Betsey Ferguson, Daniel Howard and Mary Clark had leading parts. The election of officers for the A. A. took place in June to allow the officers more time
