SENIOR CLASS HISTORY During the early part of September in the year 1952, a group consist- ing of 31 Freshmen entered Coe-Brown. Our first important event was the holding of a class meeting. During this meeting we elected our class officers and student council representatives. President Edward Bryant Vice President Lorraine DeButts Secretary ________________________ Constance Miffin Treasurer Barbara DeMeritt Student Council Barbara DeMeritt Robert Magoon Chronicle Reporter Doris Holmes Barbara DeMeritt and Edward Bryant were chosen to represent our class in the prize speaking contest. Edward Bryant was awarded second prize. Our class was very well represented in both girls and boys sports that year. Our class put on a St. Patrick’s Day social. We had square dancing and refreshments. All who attended enjoyed themselves. SOPHOMORE YEAR Here we were, back again on September 6, 1953. This time only 24 out of the original 31 returned. Our first task, the same as the year before, was election of class officers and student council.

Virginia Wood proudly took first prize and Barbara DeMeritt received second. We had even a greater percentage of the class of this year participating in both the girl’s and boy’s sports. On October 8, 1953, the Sophomore Class held its Freshman initiation social. There was also a square dance on March 18th. Guy Mann was the master of ceremonies. We had a wonderful time. JUNIOR YEAR We started the year with 22 members, but soon lost Roger Witham, Richard Sawyer, Alfred Bean, Mary Heath, and Frank Lovely. Soon after starting though, we gained John O’Connor. Class Officers for this year were: President W. Edward Bryant Jr. Vice-President ------- Doris Holmes Secretary ------------------------- Barbara De Meritt Treasurer Frank Lovely Student Council Barbara De Meritt Robert Magoon We were proud to have Miss Ward as our advisor this year. On December 3, we had our first social of the year. It was a Sadie Haw- kins dance and a “Soc Hop” combined with a square dance. Bob Bennett from Concord was the caller. This year Doris Holmes, Arthur Slade and Shirley Young were our representatives in the Annual Woman’s Club Essay Contest. All three of them walked off with prizes. Doris with first prize, Arthur with second, and Shirley with third. In softball we had Virginia Wood, Doris Holmes, and Shirley Young. Barbara De Meritt, Constance Mifflin, Lorraine De Butts and Virginia Wood were on the cheerleading squad from our class. In baseball, we had Frank Lovely, George Hill and Roger Witham. Reta Shepard, Shirley Young and Dotty Holmes were on the volleyball team, Junior boys on the basketball team were Frank Lovely, and Roger Witham. We had Albert Burtt and Frank Lovely on the cross country team. On May 6, 1955 we held our Junior Prom. Music was furnished by Millie’s Melodiers. We chose as our theme “Stardust”. Connie Mifflin was chosen as our queen. Her aids were Virginia Wood and Doris Holmes. SENIOR YEAR All too soon we started our senior year. We were sorry to see that we had lost Connie Mifflin and George Hill. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President Shirley Young Vice President ................. Virginia Wood Secretary ------------------------ Barbara De Meritt Treasurer Marcia Williams Student Council Barbara De Meritt Robert Magoon We presented our annual senior play “Seventeenth Summer” on Nov- ember 21 and 22, 1955. As usherettes we chose Joyce and Etta Yeaton, from the junior class. We entered a float in the Deerfield Parade and received second prize on it. It was based on the 100 anniversary of The Old Man of The Mountain. Shirley Young was the only girl that went out for volleyball. Lorraine De Butts and Virginia Wood were the head cheerleaders. In softball we had Shirley Young, Dotty Holmes, and Barbara Pender. In baseball we had Robert Magoon, Robert Wentworth, James Corbin and John O’Conner. In the Annual Woman’s Club Essay Contest we had Shirley Young, Dotty Holmes, and Arthur Slade as representatives from our class. Dotty got first prize, Arthur second, and Shirley honorable mention. We had a successful year in Prize Speaking. Anne Witham received first prize with her “Mary White.” Shirley Young got second with “Robert Frost’s Poems.” Soon after, we started working on graduation. It was announced that Albert Burtt was valedictorian and Dotty Holmes Salutatorian. For our Baccalaureate Service on June 3, and the Graduation Exercise on June 4, we chose Etta and Joyce Yeaton as our Marshalls. The evening of our graduation we had our Senior Reception. In our class trip we went to the White Mountains. We had a very en- joyable time. At the model assembly of the Council of Europe in Spaulding High School, our class was represented in the delegation from Denmark by Arthur Slade.

Signed, Frances Ellsworth Evelyn Ward Clifford Price Anne Witham Reta Shepard THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1966 and the place is Snow Hill Park Hotel, an ancient New Hampshire summer resort. Gee! It’s hard to believe that the Class of 1956 has been a memory for ten years. I just can’t help wondering what hap- pened to that finest, most brilliant class that ever graduated from Coe- Brown North wood Academy. I, Arthur Slade, am now a high school teacher and manager of Snow Hill Park hotel. I was just remarking to my Chef, Jim Corbin, that this tenth reunion all came about because of Shirley Young’s chance remark, “That the tenth anniversary of our graduation would be a good time to hold the party we planned after we returned from our class trip.” So in our usual prompt way we held our Senior party only ten years late. A good record if I must say so myself. Albert Burtt, was the first one to arrive. “Always bright Burtt”, as we used to call him, is now the owner of Burdock Farms in Aching Back. He and Roberta have increased the farms production of rocks and weeds over 100%, since they purchased the place. Say! Do you recall Anne Witham and Reta Shepard? Look, here they come now. Anne is now settled down to the quiet job as secretary to the firm of “Drinkwater and Salt Stock Brokers”. Reta, is very handy around the house since she married Winky White. The children keep her busy, however. Then came Lorraine DeButts. She is now secretary to the head of the “Granite State Well Drilling Company”. She said she wanted to make money. Boy! she really makes a lot now. Look! Rocky Magoon is now coming up the walk. As everyone knows, Rocky, and his wife, Margie, are the owners of the biggest dairy farm in the state. He sure did fool Mrs. Price and her predictions. Here comes John O’Connor, owner of the biggest Buick Repair Shop and Sales Room in the United States. Edward Bryant just drove up to the Hotel. He is happily married to Barbara DeMeritt and is a successful dairyman. He is currently thinking of buying the Manchester Dairy. Whoever would have thought he might some day own it? What is that noise? I remember, that must be Wentworth’s car. It al- ways sounded like a bulldozer going through a china shop. To think that that wreck still runs. You would think that a fellow in his position, owner of G. E., would buy a new one. Here comes the person who is responsible for this party, Shirley Young. She has proved to be the first teacher to make a million dollars. Shirley is the head of the Coe-Brown Home Economics Department. “Hello”! Barbara Pender. When did you arrive? Gosh, you always wented to be a Marine. I am so glad you are now a General.” Dotty Holmes is arriving now. Everyone agrees that she really sur- prised them. Did you pass her mountain estate on the way here? It was formerly the “Mt. Washington Hotel”. However, she had it redecorated and had gold-plated plumbing installed. She thinks it is much more practical than copper. To think it all came about because of her career as a druggist. “Hi, Gloria. Congratulations!” Gloria Twombly, is a secretary for a small construction company. Her ambition has finally been realized. Last week, she married the boss. “Why, Look who is here of all people, Virginia Wood.” Virginia put her hobbies to good use. She has joined the Navy and worked her way up to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. She didn’t go in as an ordinary Wave, she was a special dancing, bowling and swimming instrutor. She has a contract to re- place Esther Williams, when her hitch is up. “Gee! someone is missing. Here they come now. Barbara Corbett, Mar- cia Williams and Geraldine Twombly”. Barbara Corbett’s name is now Mrs. Cecil Tasker. She finally got him. The twins will enter kindergarten next year. Marcia used to say her principle worry was getting Bobby. Boy, she sure nailed him soon after graduation. Geraldine Twombly is now Mrs. Al- bert Hatch. She and the Canadian Mounted Police have one thing in com- mon, they both get their man. It may take some time but they get them. “Alright, Folks, everyone is here. Let’s start the celebrating”.
