Of Tflf ’40fflS It was ill Sejitcmber, lO-to that we were welcomed into the portals of Braintree High and little did we know then all that would take place in those four short years. Is there even one of the ’49’ers who can’t remember that thrilling football game with the Sojihs that year. The Sojihomore year started with our feet firmly on the ground. It was the start of our real .school life. For class officers we elected “Bntch” Perrault, President; Bernie Piccini, Vice-President; “Bev” Nyberg, Treasurer; “Teenie” Anastos, Secretary. Mr. M’illiam Tiainor and Mi.ss Alice Danghraty were elected as our class sponsors. The first thing we had was the Sojihomore Social which was a great success. We also can’t forget our good rejirescntation in sjiorts, both boys and girls. In our Junior year, for the fir,st time in the history of Braintree High School, a Strident Council was organized. We re-elected the class officers of our Sojihomore year: “Bntch” Perranlt, President; Bernie Piccini, Vice-President; “Bev” Nyberg, Treasurer; “Teenie” Anastos, Secretary. We got our class rings, sjionsored the ojieretta ‘Ali kado,” and made jilans for onr Junior Prom which was a big success. At the end of the school year, most of us were just one steji away from graduation. In our Senior year we watched with mixed emotions the school being torn down. Jdrere was the sitting for class jiictures, buying of yearbooks, and the election of the same officers of the two jirevious years. Then came rehearsals for the Senior Show “The Thers.” The girls’ hockey team had a good year; the football team not too good, but they tried hard. In June we ordered caps and gowns, had our Senior Recejition, and Senior Banquet. Then came Graduation Night when we waved good-bye to dear old Braintree High! { 26 }
