SENIOR YEAR At last. Senior year arrived. We were all glad to be graduating but I think deep down inside a little bit of sadness showed through as everyone re- membered the happy times we'd had during the past four years. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President Richard Bengtson Vice-President Alberta Witham Secretary Pearl Ycaton Treasurer Joanne I uttle Student Council Lyn Sherman and Cliff Bane Chronicle Reporter Marilyn T uttle This year we welcomed Mr. Leskowitz as our adviser. The whole class worked diligently on the float we entered in the Deerfield Fair. The float was made to look like Little Abner's Wedding. We didn't win a prize, but we sure had fun trying. Then we started planning for the Senior Play. The title was Men Are Like Streetcars” and the entire class participated in its production on November 23 and 24. It was truly a great success. We had three members as participants in the Woman's Club Essay Con- test this year. They were Lyn Sherman, Richard Bengtson. and Joy Wiley walking off with all three prizes respectively. Joanne Tuttle was elected by the class and faculty for the DAR Good Citizenship Award. In basketball, Ted Geers served as captain, with Cliff Bane and Dick Bengt- son on the team. Lyn Sherman, Marilyn Tuttle, Alberta Witham, Joy Wiley, and Pearl Yeaton were on the volleyball team. Joanne Tuttle served as manager. This year we also had three members on the cheering squad. They were: Joy Wiley, Head Cheerleader: Alberta Witham and Marilyn Tuttle. Ted Geers, Cliff Bane, Rich Bengtson, and Ken Magoon made the base- ball team. On April 13, Joanne Tuttle and Cliff Bane were our representatives in Prize Speaking. Joanne proudly walked off with first prize. There are three instances that remain very distinct in our memories. The first was the Baccalaureate service on June 14, and then our graduation and re- ception on the fifteenth of June. There are also things that we remember about our four years at Coe-Brown. They are our happy and successful times we had. We really had fun, didn’t we?

Our new adviser for this year was Miss Taylor, later known as Mrs. Foun- tain. Because of changes made in schedule and administration, we were unable to hold a social. We were a sports-minded class in 1950-51 having the following people on the various teams: Mary Lovely, Phyllis Twombly. Marilyn Tuttle in girls’ track. Mary Lovely. Lyn Sherman and Marilyn Tuttle on the softball team. On the volleyball team: Alberta Witham and Pearl Yeaton captured po- sitions. Joy Wiley was still on the cheering squad with Aggie Witham, Mai Tuttle and Pearl Yeaton as subs. Ted Geers, Cliff Bane and Ken Magoon were assets to the basketball team. Practically all of the boys went out for baseball. These were Ted Geers, Cliff Bane, Dick Jones, Ken Magoon, Ed Wallace, Doug Wallace and Wayne Corson. Thus ended our happy year as Honored Soph.” JUNIOR YEAR We entered school with high hopes of an exciting year, for we were now the ‘‘Jolly Juniors.” At our first class meeting we elected our class officers. They were: President Clifford Bane Vice-President Alberta Witham Secretary-Treasurer Pearl Yeaton Student Council Lyn Sherman and Cliff Bane Chronicle Reporter Phyllis Twombly We were proud to have Mr. Allen as our adviser this year. On December 13, we held our first social in the form of a Nite Club. We presented numerous pantomimes. There was also dancing and refreshments. Paul Guptill and Marion Pease were chosen Mr. and Miss HI-HAT of the evening. We ordered and received our class rings this year. We all think that they are pretty wonderful. This year Lyn Sherman and Richard Bengtson were our representatives in the Annual Woman’s Club Essay Contest. They both walked off with prizes. Lyn with third prize and Rich with honorable mention. We were very active in sports our Junior year. Lyn Sherman, Alberta Witham, Pearl Yeaton and Marilyn Tuttle were on the volleyball team. Lyn Sherman, Phyllis Twombly, and Mary Lovely were on the softball team. In cheerleading we had three of the squad from our class. They were Joy Wiley, Debra Low, and Marilyn Tuttle. Junior boys on the baseball team were Ted Geers, Kenny Magoon, Cliff Bane, and Rich Bengtson. The highlight of our Junior year, which we had been looking forward to, was the Annual Prom. Music was furnished by Carl and his Cavaliers under the theme of “Hawaiian Moonlight.” Pearl Yeaton was crowned queen by Lois Hutchins and was presented a silver crown and a lei of flowers. Alberta Witham and Jean Campbell were elected aides to the queen. Although we lost Lorraine Laprise, we were glad to welcome Richard Bengtson and Debra Low. As our Junior year came to a close, we were anxiously waiting for the fall to arrive and we would become the “Sophisticated Seniors.” 11
