HOW EV HIGH -S:CH 0 OL GEASSe EUS TORN “The man who wins is the man who works, Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, Who uses his head, his hands, his eyes— Yes, the man who wins is the man who tries.” ——s ITH THE preceding thought in mind, the class of 1939 began its GP high school career in the fall of 1935. A class election was held, | and the following were selected as officers: Charles Howarth, president; Doris Quinn, vice-president; Robert Ellis, secretary; and Julia Leavitt, treasurer. Miss Tyler was chosen class adviser. A Freshman dance was held February 14, 1936. In June, the class voted to go to Canobie Lake for the class outing. We started our second year by electing the following officers: Charles Howarth, president; Doris Quinn, vice-president; Robert Eliis, secretary; and Ethel Hodgdon, treasurer. Our class adviser was Miss Griffin. The first social event of the year was a Hallowe’en party. An out- standing activity during our Sophomore year was the broadcasting of “The Giant at the Well” over station WLLH, in Lowell. The participants were Helen Spencer, Priscilla Mayo, Mona Leslie, Eleanor King, Bernice Burns, Lester Snyder, Forrest Blair, and Donald Maxwell. Miss Belcher directed the p'ay. The last event of the year was the annual outing at Canobie Lake. During our Junior year, our activities were guided by Charles How- arth as president, Eileen Freeman as vice-president, Marvin Conrad as secretary, and Ethel Hodgdon as treasurer. Miss Osgood was appointed class adviser. The first enterprise of our Junior year was selling tickets for the il- lustrated lecture, ‘‘The Restoration of Williamsburg,’ sponsored by the Billerica Garden Club. Many beautiful slides of ‘Colonial clothes, gardens, and buildings were shown. As the end of the year drew near, all looked forward to the biggest event of the year, the Junior Prom, which was held on May 13, 1938 . The ball was gay with kaleidoscopic decorations. A colossal rainbow-colored bag, in which balloons of every hue were kept for a balloon dance, was suspended from the ceiling. The small surrounding lights were covered with iridescent paper lanterns. Once again the class went to Canobie Lake for the class outing. Bubbling over with plans, we held our first class meeting of our final vear. The following officers were elected: Charles Howarth, president; Morton Bent, vice-president; Eileen Freeman, secretary; and Waller Fin- nagan, treasurer. Mrs. Sampson was chosen as class adviser. The Tri-Delta Club, organized by the girls of the class of 1938, has been carried on by the girls of the class of 1939. “Little Women,” the Senior Class Play, was given on December 9, 1938.
