Glass On these pages we shall try to give the reader some idea of the history of the remarkable class of 1951. Al- though most of our emphasis will be on the four years we spent in Dedham High School, it is only fitting that we begin by going back to our very origins. We were Depression Babies, born in the years 1932, 1933, and 1934. Back then our folks could buy three pounds of sirloin steak for a dollar--only most of them never had a spare dollar. Perhaps they had a hard time buy- ing us enough baby food. Perhaps we were starved during our infancies. Perhaps that is the reason why we have been hungry ever since, why we nibble slyly during X periods and why we knock down the infirm on our mad dashes to the cafeteria. If you are a psychologist, perhaps you can tell things about us by our baby pictures on these pages. Does Bill Sanford's standing without mother's help Qpage 301 fore- tell his athletic prowess? Is that a wedding dress on Sheila Drake and, if so, does it indicate what we think it does? XVhat do you make of that expression on Kathleen Rooney's face as she clutches a rabbit? Will Harry Mahoney ever appear like fbaf on the stage? On page 31, is Red McKee even then getting ready to crouch behind the plate? What's Sally Mitchell grinning about and is Kenny Green alone in that buggy? Maybe you can predict our futures by looking at these picturesg all we can say, modestly, is that we cer- tainly were beautiful babies. By the time we reached the first grade, World War ll had begun. Hitler was one of the first words we learned to read in newspapers, and we played that we were Com- mandos rather than Hopalong Cassidys. We grew up in the days of airplane spotting, blackouts, and food shortages. fHow much longer before lunch?j XVe helped celebrate V-E and V-J Days, but we have never known the world' to be really at peace. I9-17-I9-18 In the fall of 1947 we came from the Ames, Avery, Capen, Oakdale and Riverdale Schools and united as the Class of 1951 in Dedham High School. ln the four years that were to follow, the confusing corridors and the un- numbered rooms in this building would mean more to us than mere places to study, here friendships were to spring up that would endure for our lifetimes.
