19 3 4 MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL 19 3 4 The greatest success of the year was the Junior Prom which netted us a huge profit. Very shortly after that came the Junior- Senior party. Thus ended our Junior year. IV At last we came into our own. We were Seniors ! This year onlj 95 were still clinging with us, while 10 more disgruntled people went back to the old country. Among the new immigrants who came to us were Elsie Adsit, Muriel Cook, and Dot Dah quist. The officers of ovir class are : President Sherman, Vice President Rockwood, Secre- tary Paradis, and Treasurer Howes. The Senior play Green Stockings was presented. In the cast were Vera Rogers, Edwin Neill, Henry Schultz, Richard Rock- wood, IMargaret Harrington, Parker Holden, Everett Hale, Charles Carey, Lauretta Bis- sonnette, Lois Gammons, Elmer Drew, and Ethel Shaw. Of coiirse we cannot forget Johnny Rogers going up to the third floor every first and second recess to see his tootsy-wootsy. We cannot forget February 14, because it is a red-letter date. On that day Mrs. Moore received manj kisses from some bashful boys. Recently when a magician asked for a boy and a girl to assist him, Ha ' e and Holden jiimped up, and the magician wanted to know which was the girl. Many of our class are on the athletic teams and recently Sherman made fame by beating the State champ in the 220 yard dash at Brockton. The Junior-Senior party was held and was carried out very efficiently and successfully. It was at this time that Joe Zion came out with his famous saying, Women shou ' d have no place in the life of man. We took a trip by boat to Provincetown, and thus ended the history of a most bright and memorable class. •420I
