HISTORY Alvin Edler Pauline Voccio John Paul Andrade Barbara Maisano Robert Velleca One evening in the year 19%, as I was in my attic glancing over a conglomeration of books, I came across my Bristol Senior High Yearbook. Reading it through, I came to the Gass History which I had written. How I enjoyed re-reading the Life of the Class of 1953! This is how it read: On September 5, 1950, the doors of Robert Shaw Andrews School and Colt High School swung open to seventy-eight bewildered Sophomores. We followed the crowd to our first assembly where we listened to the rules and regulations explained by Mr. Burke, our principal, after which we received our programs, and then were assigned to homerooms that we were to occupy for the year. Some of the members of our class were more fortunate, having been Freshmen at Colt, so knew the rules and tried to exercise authority over us. Our first class meeting was held on February 15, 1951, and the following people were elected officers: President..............Edward Calandra Secretary.............Theresa Gonsalves Vice-President.............Robert Caizzi Treasurer..................Carol Benson The Executive Board consisted of: Anna Bettencourt, Jesse Perry, and Robert Velleca. Days went by quickly with many humorous incidents occurring in different classes. Then came the big day, May 27th, the Sophomore Hop, which was a dance sponsored by the Sophomores. As I remember, the dance was enjoyed by all. The next month of school was uneventful with the exception of the final examinations. After our summer vacation, we returned to school, on September 3, 1953, not as shy as the previous year, for now we were ''Know-it-all juniors. We started the school year by electing the following class officers: President...........John Paul Andrade Treasurer............................Carol Benson Vice-President......Edward Calandra Secretary ............................ Helen Oliveira The members on the Executive Committee were: Pauline Voccio, Judy Bray, Jane Hoar, Robert Velleca, Manuel Perreira, and Joseph Brum. 20
