Blizzards, And The Polio Epidemic . .. Live Through A Disostrous Yeor Auiho, With its many disasters, the year 1955-56 has been an eventful One. First of all came Hurricane Edna, soon to be followed by the polio epidemic, which caused the School Committee to delay the opening of school until September 19. Our little weather man, not yet satisfied with his destruction, hit Malden in late March with two severe blizzards, that left twenty-four inches of snow in eight days. Besides these disasters, Miss Carrie Darling and Mr. Robert Blair, beloved teachers at M.H.S., passed away. All the year was not sad, 'howeverg several Malden High Students were rewarded for their continued efforts in behalf of M.H.S. Barry Black qualified for the National Merit Scholarship, Bessie Ferrentinos was elected D.A,R.
