CLASS As jMr. Jordan peered out of the office window in Septem- l)er of 1942, he saw a crowd of strange, uneasy-looking faces coming uj) the walk of good old Braintree High School. However we didn’t remain strange and uneasy-looking after the first few weeks — quite the opposite — we proved to be a very promising class in studies and extra-curricular activities. Upon entering high school we started the last four steps of learning. Pausing on the ninth step, or Fresh- man year, we see that there was a fine representation on the basket- ball team. The members were Ezra Ureswell, George Routiner, Paul Sweezey, Ray Smith, Ronald Hemeon, and Dick Copp. Each did his ])art to set up a fine record. Our music ability proved helpful in the music department also. The Freshman Glee Club did an excellent job in the Christmas Concert, and the members of band and orchestra did their ])art as well. Beside the sports and music we had several students on the Freshman Honor Roll. The sale of hu■ Bonds and Stamps rated high at B. H. S. and we did our part to keep it there. In our Sophomore year, or tenth step, we again showed our ability in sjiorts. The girls made a fine showing in field hockey. Those represented were Barbara Gale, Christine IMcClellan, Erica Hecht, Claire Eason, Barbara Monahan, Thelma Pratt, Dorothy Tower, and Barbara Worthen. Our three most prominent musicians. Jack Davis, Donald Hollis, and Harold Xorris, held substuantial parts in the Junior operetta, “Ermine.” Several of their fellow students were in the chorus and our always devoted j ianist was Naomi Woodworth. Last, but not least, we must mention our 24

HISTORY Sophomore Social which was held February 11, 1943. A good crowd attended and all had a good time. We started our eleventh step of learning with the election of class officers: Donald Hollis, president; Richard Williams, vice president; Erica Hecht, secretary; Gene Clifford, treasurer and Mr. Ferrett, class sponsor. In basketball we had Harold Ostman, George Routhier, Paul Sweezey, and Ezra Creswell. Each player helped in bringing us to the Tech Tourney and a championship. Our outstand- ing girls in field hockey were Barbara Gale and Erica Hecht. To our list of sports we added football, baseball, and tennis. Our class also took ])art in the band, orchestra. Boys’ Glee Club, and the Choir. In the ' ‘Chimes of Normandy,” Jean Waine added credit to our class by her outstanding performance. So we closed our year with the Prom (which we think was the best of all). On the twelfth step we paused just long enough for all to take i)art in sj orts or other activities. We must mention that our class officers were: Harold Ostman, president; Richard Williams, vice jn-esident; Erica Hecht, secretary; and Gene Clifford, treasurer. We couldn’t have chosen better ones. Along with our class rings came pictures and the Senior Show in which all ijarticipated. The Ban- cpiet and Senior Reception will be remembered by all. So once again in June, 1946, Mr. Jordan looked out of his office window and waved good-by to many smiling faces. Dressed in our blue and white gowns, cai’rying our diplomas with great care, we })roudly left with happy memories. May all the future seniors have as fine a history as ours, the Class of ’46.
