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.
