After becoming accustomed to new classes, rou tines, and teachers, we were welcomed with open arms, our arms, of course, for senior books. After a week of chaos — dolls, songs, and burlap sacks, we were formally accepted by the Class of ’57 at the Freshman Reception. To the embarrassment of the upper classmen, our class placed first in the Magazine Drive and the Cross Country Meet. Even with this winning streak we lost, when Mrs. Schmidt, our class adviser, left us. However, our hopes rose again when Mrs. Chenette took her place. On June 7, 1957 we bade farewell to our big brothers and sisters with a dance in their honor, making the fabulous sum of $7.58. Well, we didn’t lose anything but our seniors. ACT II The following September our class entered its second year at B.H.S. This year we made a fine start with our dance Harvest Moon.” Our treasury grew with leaps and bounds when we won the Magazine Drive for the second time. To our delight we won the Cross Country Meet once more. Our joy was shortlived when we lost our class adviser again. ACT III The third year found us as upperclassmen with our new adviser, Mrs. Johnson. The work for our year book began early. 25 This year the first Homecoming Day was held. The queen and her court reigned over both the football game and the dance at night. With experienced salesmen- we won the Magazine Drive for the third time. After great planning and anticipation we gave our first formal, Deep Purple,” a brilliant success. Adding to the excitement of this evening was the presentation of class rings by our ring chairman, Ken Munson. Our last dance of the year The Record Roundup” was also a success, both socially and financially. With the graduation of the seniors, we inherited the long awaited pleasures of the Senior Walk. ACT IV The final curtain found us preparing ourselves for the long road ahead. First on the agenda was the initiation of the Freshman Class. We proudly presented them w'ith our books and stood attentively to hear Our Song.” To welcome them we gave a dance in their honor; surprisingly, we made a profit. Like the rest of the exalted seniors before us, we had a booth at the Berlin Fair at which we sold Christmas novelties. After two weeks of second or third place (mostly third), we shocked the whole school by winning the Magazine Drive — the only class to accomplish this feat four years in succession. Our senior, Nancy Caccavale, reigned as Homecoming Queen in the second annual Homecoming Day events. One by one the days passed as the Senior Ball and Class Night drew near. With much zeal and anticipation we planned both and watched each become part of memory. We finally heard the strains of Pomp and Circumstance” and knew that we would never return, except as alumni. Many memories flood our thoughts, as we take our individual paths. May each of us be blessed with good fortune and happiness. 26 MOST ATHLETIC Terry and Jerry CLASS BLUSHERS Chris and Barry MOST CHANGED Margaret and Ken BEST DANCERS Nancy and Frank DONE MOST FOR THE CLASS Claire and Dennis CLASS NOTABLES CLASS DREAMERS Claire and Dennis BEST DRESSED Nancy and Bruce BEST DRIVERS Shiela and Bill MOST GULLIBLE Claire and Alvin 28 IPANA SMILE Judy and Bob MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Jody and Jim NOISIEST Heather and Paul CLASS JOKERS Janet and Rich MOST POPULAR Nancy and Dennis ROMEO AND JULIET Dawne and Duane CLASS STORYTELLERS Alicia and Steve 29 SHYEST Sally and Greg CLASS WOLVES Nancy and Bob CLASS WILL We leave Dr. Eaton with best wishes from the Senior Class.

Commander of the skiff is Admiral John Corvi with Ensigns Allan Heidorn and George Petit. During their first afternoon in Spain they attend a bullfight where the famous matador, David Tousignant, is to appear. That evening they are entertained by Juanita Drake and her famous dancing troupe, including Pat Lowchy and Linda Miller. They take a train across the Pyrenees into Marseille. There they pay a visit to English teacher, Roberta Beecher, who takes them to a cafe owned by Elaine From, where a modern jazz trio, Kenny Munson, Barry Seelig, and Dennis Pisko are playing. On arrival in Paris, a famous fashion store is their first stop, where a former Miss America, Nancy Caccavale, models exclusive dresses. Elinor has her hair styled by Mme. Veronica Bochan, and Masseur Walter Simcik gives Rich a relaxing rubdown. Lonnie Ferrero sells them one of her paintings of the River Seine. They stop to look at an attractive window display in Sara Bradbury’s Flower Shop. Their train to Holland stops at the Hague, where lawyer Vincent Brescia is arguing a famous case. An exhibition of figure skating is viewed by Elinor and Richard, with Gail Russell and Richard Labbe performing. On a dairy farm owned by Eddie Dubuc, they see a windmill, one of the traditional symbols of Holland. The Duchess of Windsor, Carol Nalewajek, greets them as they leave their plane in London. They go to a beach outside the city and watch, as Jerry Turner and Muriel LaFlamme complete their swim of the English Channel. They see Bill Gibbs and Jim King standing guard at Buckingham Palace. Dave Woodruff rides a race horse to victory at Epsom Downs, as our two world travelers cheer him on. Pat Dyer cooks them each a hot bowl of Irish stew as they wait for a trans-atlantic steamer in Dublin. On the boat home, Elinor visits Sharon Holmes, who is a nurse in the ship’s infirmary. Susan Richards gives one of her world famous piano concerts in the main ballroom. Larry Supernant and Joe Lauria pilot the tugboat which eases their ship into the harbor at Newfoundland, where we come upon Bill Fairbank and Norman Talbot running guided tours. They help two other travelers, Irene Picard and Marilyn Holmes, who are confused in registering for plane tickets to Hartford. The two make their reservations for the final leg of their trip, with Gale Clarke at the ticket counter. As they descend the ramp from their plane at Bradley Field, Judy Casey takes their picture for the front page of the Berlin Beacon. 38 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Carol Gates, Sec.; Alexandra Boone, Vice Pres.
