i I ouii GoeiiDifln flfiGas ay back in 1947, when iNIiss H azel I I. Summerville and Mr. Arigo LaTanzi accepted the election of the Class of 1950 to be its sponsors, little did they realize what problems would face them during the next three years, bdrst, there was the Sophomore Social for which INIiss Summerville and Mr. LaTanzi had general charge of the various committees. Then came the job of helping the class in its junior year to select its rings, the money probLins being left to the s})onsors. Next arrived the operetta “The Pirates of Penzance,” sponsored by the Class of ’50 which presented its sponsors with the business, properties and lighting ])roblems of the production. The last main project of the junior year was the Junior Prom, and then came the all important senior year. The Senior Show, Senior Banquet, (Iraduation, and finally the Senior Reception, all followed in fa.st succession, and each in its turn presented more “hair-gray- ing” j)roblems for the two sponsors. And now that their high school days are over, the Class of 1950 would like to leave one ])arting “thank-you” to its sponsors. Miss Summerville and Mr. LaTanzi, for making this class the success that it is. A Mi- f 1 fe SSf ■ C ■ r 1 ! i ■ ! 1 i, . j An up and coming group of advertising managers made for a successful year for The fVampatuch in 1949-1950. Ed- ward Caramanica “the boy with the car,’’ supplemented by the E. M. Bus Line, covered the Quincy accounts along with those in outlying districts; Frank Burns and Charles Mundt took care of the East section of the town; Thomas Targett and Fred Inkley handled soliciting in the South area; and Charles Miller and Donald Oatt canvassed the Braintree merchants. The chief-in-charge-of-all finances was Miss Constance F’. Steelier, Head of the Fhtglish Department and Adviser to The Warnpatuck. It took a li ttle “doing” to make both ends meet but, with the co-operation of all hands, the task was accomplished once again.
