D. A. R. AWARDS KATHRYN GREGORY LESTER K. LITTI.F Chosen by her classmates and the faculty of East High as the outstanding senior girl, Kathryn Gregory was awarded the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizenship Award. Kay’s matchless record at East has made her greatly admired and respected by all who came in contact with her. She was Photography Editor of the Redjacket, second place winner in a city- wide history contest in her junior year, leading scholar of the Class of '53, and active in Tri-Hi-Y and many other activities. We have great confidence in Kay, and can be sure that she will carry on her fine work in college and later life. —Norman A. Campbell The senior boys and the faculty have selected Lester Little as the winner of this year’s Good Citizenship Award. Well deserving of this honor, Lester has shown great leadership ability as president of the class. He is also president of the Dramatic Society, Editor of the Redjacket, a Junior Rotar- ian, and a member of the Student Council. Known for his writing abilities, he has been the Paw- tucket Times school reporter for two years. His high scholastic average is second to none among the boys of the senior class. Versatility and a diplomatic personality are two of his traits which have commanded the re- spect of all who know him. Worthy of the merits presented him, Lester will be remembered always for his work as one of the leaders of our class. —Marilyn Pearson

LESTER K. LITTLF. President CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Classmates, In these closing hours of our student life here at East High School, I would leave a few parting thoughts with you if I may. To begin with, all of the academic work, the exercise in the gymnasium and swimming pool, the social events, the assemblies, and the extra-curricular activities here have not been without purpose. They have each been a part of our life’s training program, and it now remains for us to remember this training and to apply it properly to our everyday living. Just as good citizenship has been our job here in school, so too will it be in our respective future com- munities. True, it is a great privilege to be an American citizen, but it is an even greater responsibility to be an active, honest citizen. Finally, let me say that you have been a wonderful group of friends and that there has never been a moment when I was not proud to be the president of East High’s Class of 1953. My best wishes for happiness and success go with each one of you. Sincerely, Lester K. Little NANCY FOLLOWS Vice-President MARILYN PEARSON Secretary HARRY C. CLEMSON T reasurer
