GIs istory In September of 1957, we the class of ’60, made our first appearance on the hill. As sophomores, we were filled with mixed emotions, the fear of being dif- ferent from everyone else and the happiness in the anticipation of the three wonderful years that lay ahead of us. We were very proud that some of our boys made the varsity teams of football, basketball, swimming, track, and baseball. Our girls, too, were representing us in such sports as field hockey, basket- ball, and softball. A year of catering to the seniors was coming to a close in the spring of 58 when we elected our Junior Class Officers. They were: President Charles Wheeler, Vice President Kenneth Baldwin, Secretary Anne Gately, and Treasurer Peter Seaver. After a well-deserved summer vacation, we entered L.H.S. for the second year. We were soon recognized by the rest of the school when five of our girls were selected as cheerleaders. These girls were Gail Breau, Linda Cormier, Barbara Davis, Rita Lattanzio, and Sheila Rocca. For the second time we returned from our Christ- mas vacation to face mid-year examinations. We sur- vived this ordeal only to start our first big project, the Junior Class Spaghetti Supper. Although it involved much work, it was very successful. In April our thoughts turned to “Spring Fantasy,” the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom. As Juniors, we took an active part in the planning and enjoyment of the event. Again, election time was nearing. Our representa- tives this year were: President Charles Wheeler, Vice President Kenneth Baldwin, Secretary Catherine Greco, Treasurer Peter Seaver, As is the usual custom, the members of our class took part in planning the graduation at Doyle Field. Some of our girls served as usherettes at the reception, while others held the honor of being flower girls at the exercise. The boys of our class gave much of their time to preparing the field for the seniors. Having wished the seniors the best of luck, we settled down to our last week of school that year. Our final class event was the Junior Class Outing which proved to be enjoyable for all who at- tended. We marked the end of an interesting and memorable junior year on Saturday, the 20th of June. Our last day of school was a unique one because this was the first time we have ever had to make up a school day on Saturday. We returned to L.H.S. in September of 1959, with every intention of making our senior year a memora- ble one. Proudly, many of the boys represented our class on the starting lineup of the football team. The

girls, too, made a good showing in sports by complet- ing the first undefeated season in field hockey. At this time all the seniors participated in the an- nual spaghetti supper. Our profit was greater than that of any class in previous years. With high spirits our football team brought glory to L.H.S. in the last and most important game of the season. A definite underdog, the team managed to hold a 0-0 deadlock with Fitchburg. This was certainly a moral victory for Leominster after having spent many hours practicing and scrimmaging. The annual Thanksgiving Dance at City Hall ended this victori- ous day. On December 15, the L.H.S. basketball team offi- cially opened their season playing against Lunenburg with hopes for another successful season. The team showed their fighting spirit all during the season. Los- ing a few games only made them work harder to cor- rect their mistakes. Our thoughts then turned to our long awaited Christmas vacation. In the midst of this festive holi- day, the G.A.A. sponsored the annual “Holiday Caba- ret.” This dance -was the highlight of our winter vaca- tion. The month of February brings to mind the Winter Carnival with its election of a king and queen. In 1960 the honors went to Caroline Cross and Robert Tellier, along with the members of their court, Bar- bara Davis, Ronald Lamothe, Karen DeCarolis, Ray- mond Bunnell, Sharon Morey, Kenneth Baldwin, Edith Poultney, and David Brown. The king and queen led the grand march, one of the highlights of the evening. After completing mid-year exams, the actors and actresses turned to the Senior Play. This play was a smashing hit. The most beautiful event of the year is the Junior- Senior Prom. All the couples were dressed in fluffy gowns and dress suits. We realized that this was our last high school prom and we made it a most enjoya- ble one. Our last year was drawing to a close with our Senior Reception. This was a sentimental event for many, because we hated to leave our beloved school, teach- ers, and most of all our friends. With our lovely flower girls leading the procession, we, the class of ’60, marched to our graduation. In front of all our friends and relatives, we received our diplomas. This marked the end of our three wonderful years at L.H.S. that will remain forever in our memory.
