To help with plans that were selected. Soon plans for our Hop filled the air. Details going wrong gave many gray hair. Finally everything was planned to a T Everyone did his job with efficiency. This year to Nantasket we did go And it was fun to swim in the cold HZO. We ate hot dogs and on the roller coaster screamed! This was so much more fun than we had ever dreamed. Every ride in the park was filled with fun But soon homeward we had to run. Our second year was joyous and gay, It seemed perfect in every way. Back to school as Juniors next year And everyone was telling of vacation cheer. We were now Juniors, and very proud of the fact We showed the freshmen how to act. Ray Cadrin was so good two years before, That we elected him president once more. Butler Smith was elected V. P. this year, And Jeannette Trottier was our secretary here. Again, we entrusted to Joe Adams our fund Thus the election of class oflicers was done. This was the year to choose a class ring That would make each of us feel like a king. This being done, we were proud and gay. Next, thoughts turned to the Junior Cabaret. Rehearsals began and everything went fine. Miss Noyes coached Star Struck , perfecting each line Curses, the Villain is Failed by Mr. Pontbriand. Everyone thought the plays were grand. To the Edgewood House we went in old jeans To decorate it for the coming scenes. We wanted it in perfect form For this was the night of our Junior Prom. The girls in their gowns looked adorably sweet. The fellows in their tux were sharp and neat. Mr. Sturke crowned our ravishing queen, She was Jane Peterson, who reigned supreme. As her attendants we had Peg Kennedy and Dot Mack. During this prom night, nothing did we lack. Thus our Junior year ended at last. Our memories to be put into the past. One more summer before that grand joy! We would be Seniors, the real McCoy! ' -I E . f e , ..,. -.i. C J W ,Pi he- ' E W '. A - 'e fs 'Q lb- 1 ' 74 U. qw I 2 x tb W '11 - ff' .1 .

The Freshmen were given a reception in the Town Hall The acts, jesting, and fun was enjoyed by all. This year not one of us was allowed to shirk For we had to earn money and all had to work. Soon our officers came before us paradin' Led by our president, popular Ray Cadrin. Butler Smith again took the V. P.'s grind- One as good would be hard to find. Beverly Francis took over the secretary's seat. She was capable, efficient, and hard to beat. Ioe Adams again was elected to the Treasury Collecting money kept him busy as a bee. To earn money, a lot of work we had to do. Selling cards and stationery were only a few. Jean La Salle, as editor of the COMPASS, we elected. To get pictures, ads and news, we were all selected. The Senior Play Fresh Fields was a huge success! The actors and actresses all did their best. Then plans for a Minstrel Show filled the air. We worked hard, for there was no time to spare. We had songs, jokes., and pranks of all sorts. Everyone accepted our antics like good sports. WASHINGTON! There we went excited and gay And invaded it in any and every way! New York, with its buildings, was another sight! This vacation, in our memory, will be held tight. After a hectic, but wonderful week, Dear old Grafton we began to seek. Arriving home, we had much to relate About our stay in Washington and New York State. Then it was necessary to pay all our class dues For our caps and gowns we soon had to choose. Another event of long-remembered fame Was our Class Night, so-called by name. There was fun and fellowship with each friend. And then a gift was given to all, in the end. At Graduation, with a tear in each eye, We said our farewells to dear Grafton High. So my friends, you have just heard How the events in the class of '52 occurred! We give thanks to our teacher, Mr. Dorsey our friend, Who worked hard to help us right down to the end. It's a great day a'coming, and the future is bright. .us f .
