Olin Hayes HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1939 XXX: always find it interesting to reminisce, and in this history of the Class of 1939, we must go back to that first day when our fond parents took us in hand and led the way to the classrooms of neighboring buildings where we began our school careers. Our days as a class are quickly drawing to a close, and soon we will say goodby to Natick lligh School with the deep regret that our time together is over and the realization that we must begin the long, open journey of living, each on his individual road. .lunior lligh School brought us together as a class for the first time.

A very capable junior executive hoard was organized, and was respon- sible for the election of the committees which made the Junior Prom, our first social activity, a memorable success. Vile had a pleasant evening, beautiful
