The first class officers were: President, Jean Brown; Vice- President, Thomas Knight; Secretary, Barbara McSweeney; , Treasurer, John Condon. Green and black were chosen as the class colors. Miss Garrison was chosen as class adviser. The first social affair given by the freshmen was a St. Patrick's Party in March. The musical talent of the class was well represented in the orchestra and glee club. Many athletes also appeared on the various teams. In June the class enjoyed their outing at Canobie Lake Park. The year flew past and it was not long before we said adieu to our friends and teachers for our long awaited vaca- tion. ; 1934-1935 The sophomore elections found John Condon as President, Vincent Mahoney as Vice-President, Jean Brown as Secretary, and Roger Robertson as Treasurer. rs. Sampson was class ad- viser. In. October the sophomores entertained the other classes with their annual Hallowee'n dance. During the remainder of the year the Athletic Association dances, the Junior Pron, and the Senior Reception followed in close order. In June the class again journeycd to Canobie Lake Park for their annual outing. Exams followed and it was not long before another year had gaily ended. ets 1955-356 In the rank of Juniors, the class of 1957 began to show much prosress.. Class -ofricers were Jonn Condon, President, Thomas Knisht, Vice President, Marjorie 3licw, Secretary, and Vincent Mahoney, Tressuror. Mrs. Sampson wns yerzlected . for Class advisor. Three members were chosen from the junior elass to be Athictic “ssociation officers. They were Elder Turner, Presijent, Marjoric Shaw, Vice President, and Jean Brown, Sccrotary. The big feature of the year was the Junior Prom. It was held at the school auditorium, May 9. ‘he docorations and setting resembled an underwater scene, with fish swim- ming about and mermaids lounging at ease. Another importent item in our junior year was the choos- ing of our class rings. We chose a yellow cold ring with a pen and scroll design dravm by Edvard Thommen. For a third time, the junior class journeyed to Canobie Lake for their outing. A g00d time was had by all and s0 ended our Junior Year. : 1956-57 After a busy summer we returned to our classes once more as the peopie of the hour --the seniors. But we did not return once wmore.to various small rooms; we were all gethered togethcr in a large study hall. Hiss Campbell and Miss Davis replaced the Misses Snow and Conway in the cpmmer- cial division. luring the year, Mr. Ilusson, who left to fill a vacancy in North Attleboro High School, was replaced by Mr. Gordon. A class meeting found John Condon again President; Vin- cent Mahoney, Vice President; Edward Staskivicz, Secretary; and Roger Robertson, Treasurer. The three Atiletic officers were reelected to their respective positions. In December, the Senior Drama, The Youngest , was pre- sented. The cast was as follows: Helen Oniell, the fentle mother; Roger Robertson, an arrogant older brotier; Jo Con-= don, also a brother; Catherine Holmes, a bored older sister} Maurice Houlne, her lawyer-husband; Josephine Le Clair, a gay young davchter; Rotert Bartol, the leading man end youngr est son; Esther Johnsor, the leading lady and Bartol's fiana cee; and Bessie Isncr, the efficien naid. ‘ The yesr has ne pobre passed vith many social events un- til we are now planning for ovr forthcoming graduation which Will take place - June 16. John Conden and iiaurice Houlne, honcr students, are to be the speal:ers.

There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away. Nor any coursers like a page Of prencing poetry. This treverse may the poorest take, Without oppress of toll; How frugal is the chariot That bears a human soul. Boolss offer an excellent means of escape from the stern: realities of life, They ere bridges that can take us from the dreariness and monotony of daily routine to the beauti- ful realms of the imezgination. Litereture, especially : po- etry, is one of the most acccssible sources of beruty, and beauty is one of the most permanent sources of sratisfaction in life. Keats acclaimed besuty as an everlaetaam delight in his famous lines: A thins of beauty is e joy forever Its ioveliness !increescs; it will n2ver Pass intocnotiincross.. For beauty of imecory ie noe Eby cen surposs the first two stanzas of Gray's Dlercy Written In £ Country Churchvard: The curfew tolls the lmcll of narting dey, The lowing here wincs slowly o'cr the les, The vlowman homeward vniods his werry wry, And leaves the vorlda to derkness and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscepe on the sisht, And all the air a soiemn stiliness holds, Save where tke beetle whecls his droning Piight, And drowsy tinl:lings lali the @istent folds.

Tennyson stressed integrity. Raiph ‘Weldo Emexson, on the other hand, stressed originality. He belleved that a genius is a person who is strong enough to stick by his own ideas and convictiong, although he be criticized on every Mane. The ideas cf the following juotations from his essay Self Relinnce have inspired mauy e@ gomius ir ais work: “Trust thysvlf; overy hear vibrates to that iron string Nothing is at lact sacred but the integrity of your own mind . An institution is the le engthened shadow of one man. The life of the electrical wizard, Thomas dison, serves well to illustrate the advisability of following ‘“merson's idea. Edison was scoffed at on every hand, but his self-re- liance urged him on to complete triuwnrph. | ) Another peat Ws in the study of liters Risse ts is that it of- fers one a chance to meet end appraise significant types of human character. damlet, by Shakespeare, gives one, for con- |7 ee te 8 SE RON Ore ee cee ee ee o. = - sideration, the charactcr of a wreat scholar whose reflec- ofive aie results in inaction. Hamlet's inaction is the cause of 211 the bloodshed in the pvlay. Hanloet typifies the writers, bookmen, and men of sedentary life who cannot do be- cause they see so many ways of doing. A final value in the study of literature, closely re- lated to the insight it gives into sijnificant types of hu- man character, is the knowledge it gives of the way people in different lands interpret the world cbout them. Colonel F. E. Lavrence, in his Revolt In The Desert, describes his exploits among barbarous, uncivilized Arabs, who were antag= onistic to the Inglish efforts to bring modern ways of liv- ing and modern industrial methods into ‘the wilds of the Sa- hera. The Arabs did not think that the plundering | of small tovms or of tradirg caravans was wrong, since that was their only lucrative occupation in the wastes of the desert. Books, then, are an inexhaustible source of delight, of inspiration, and of informetion. They bring beavty into our lives; they acquaint us with the ideas and ideals that heve influenced the world; they give us a better knowledge of hu- man nature,and they familiarize us with the customs and tra- ditions of other lands.

John Andrew Condon, Ir. wn On a Noble American An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man. The Piictican public school, introduced one hundred years ago, bears out the truth of tinis statement, for in that institution is reflected “the character of the great ploneer of American education, Horace Mann. Paramount in his character were self-sacrifice and con- plete surrender to a cause... Contrary to the advice of his friends, prompted only by altruism, he gave up a promising law career to accept the secretaryship of the newly-created Massachusetts Board of Education. From an occupation which offered merely great pecuniary returns, he turned away his footsteps to slave fora creat idenal--free education for everyone--an ideal which he accormlished after twelve years of pnp ing against the indifference and hostility of the public and the lack of sympatiy of the legislature. As strongly ingrained in Mr. Mann's charicter ac self- sacrifice was truthfulness. He wags the bee of truth, and hé would have it at all cost. “Zducation is to inspire the love of geathit he maintained, “as the supremest good, and to clariry the vision of the intellect to discern 1%, Patience was one of his cardinal attributes. During his years of teaching, he graciously suffered the errors and ignorance of his pupils, and always had a kind and sympa- thetic word for. tnhcm. Closely allicd with his paticnco was hi's loving nature. He understood children and loved tiem for the chastity and bliss of their untried souls. He said of the ‘ere thou- sand pupils in Massachusetts, They are my children, present to my mind evory day. I never lie down to sleep, nor rise from it, without thinking of them. They live in my heart. I desire te give them the substentianl blessing of deeds and sacrifices rather than thc empty one of words and forms. Mr. Mann was industrious. He believed that, just as food is produced to be eaten, just as houses are built for shelter, and just es highways are cons trtenan to be trav- . Olcd, so our rmscles and nerves are divincly instituted for work. His kindness overflowed him. His ‘advice, rathscr than Spare the rod and spoil the child, was, Punishment should never be inflictzd exccpt in the cases cf the extrensst ne= ccssity; while the exncrimont of syrnatky, conficense, per- suesion, oncouragenent, sio.ld te repeated, forever and ever, Mr, Mann was wholly unselfish. To,.the very end of his lits, he placed the interest of otnees ) avove rave ewe wel- fare. Aftcr a long illness, informe. that he nad only three hours to live, he satd, ZI have then something to do. He was told thet any disturbance would shorter his lifc, out he rcauestcd that hic studerits be culled. group formed by his bedsids. Half ising from his pillow, ne took cech one See “in Succession by the hand, called him familiarly by samo, and according to the needs and personality of each, addressed to him, in s clear, resonant Tolco; words of acvice and en=- couragement. Even on his death bed Mr. Mann displayed his altruism and humanitcrianism. His life was tne incarnation of the motto he impressed upon the world: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity: Maurice Houlne NO (4) Superlatives, by vote their classmates! $ Ba i Best Loolzing Esther Johnson Most Brilliant Welen Oneill Host Attractive Esther Johnson Most Athletic of : gohn Burris Maurice Houlne Thomas Fallon Marjorie Shaw Edward Staskivicz Best Dancer Marjorie Shaw ‘ Most Versatile Helen Fermoyle Most Popular Marjorie Shaw Best Dressed Jean Brown a Ga Ce Rita Freeman Host Talkative Virginia Flint .
