The gowns, how pretty they were! Really, quite an af?air. February 20 and 2i “Once There Was a Princess!” T hose who saw may forget, but those who were in it will never forget the senior play. The night of the dress rehearsal, Charle ' Maloney almost pulled over the set in his attempt to wash the window without harming the clean, white curtains. His cries for the coach. Miss Knowlton, ech- oed behind the .scenes in agonized shouts. ' Ehe love-making was rather convincing, don’t you think? March 7 ' Ehe Student Council Party! I hat was a dance! Chaperoned by Mr. Eaton and .Miss Boynton. May 23 ' Hie J uniors gave us a prom that will always be a ideasant memory. We thank them for “a good time enjoyed by all.” .Mr. Peterson said, “It’s a regular bunch of camels m there. I can’t keep those punch-bowls full.” W e forgive them for replenishing the bowls from flowing dish- lians, but we should never have forgiven them if they had used wash-tubs! I ' he decorations were Ai, especially Ruth Jacobs’ silhouettes. June I I Class Day! So many things happened. 3 he prophecy and history were certainly original. Bob Berry spoke his poem and we clapped and clapped. W ' e shouted Stanley Sprague’s version of “The Stein Song” until we were hoarse. Doug pre- sented the class gift, and among other awards, the football sweaters were given. I ' he banquet! We ate ’n’ ate, ’n’ ate .some more. .Mr. Anthony and Mr. Eaton said funny things, and we all felt a little blue but had a glorious time. Oh, those gifts! June I 2 (iraduation! ' Die Speaker was .Mr. John Scully, Superintendent of the Brock- ton schools. A .senior ensemble group con- sisting of Dot Clark, Carin Bloom, and hrieda Eaton, a.ssisted by Janet Eaton a junior, jdayed a minuet. ' Ehe orchestra blew and .sawed with all its might and, of course, we. sang our heads off. Vc probably sounded rather awful, but moth- er and father “thought it was lovely!”
