6 THE SASSAMON ADDRESS OF WELCOME---CLASS DAY Un behalf ot' the Class of lf?-17 it is ati honor and a pleasure for me to wel- eonie you to our Class llay lfxercises. XYe are very grateful to you, our parents, our teachers, and our friends who have made this day possible. ln this post-war world we appreciate fully the educational advantages and the opixrrtnnities which you have provided for us. Xte do not know what the years ahead hold in store for us, but we do know that our part in solving our future problems will be a credit to you, to our school, and to our community. And so on this sixth day of hlune, 1047, l again welcome you to our Class Day Iixerciseswa step in our youthful progress toward the attainment of our ambitions. af f f CLASS HISTORY During the past three years at Natick High, we of the Class of 1947 have been making history. 'l'wo records of this history have been kept, one is the scholastic record, the daily measure of our achievements, our mental growth, our knowledge, the other is the human record, the rambling account of our social life, our dreams, our successes and our failures. The first, carefully tiled away in the principal's oflice, leads to Monday night, to graduation and to our diplomas. Gf that we shall not speak. 'l'he second, just as carefully kept in our memories and hearts, leads to this morning, our Class llay. lt is this record that I wish to recall. 'l'he Fall of ll?-1-l found about one hundred fifty bewildered boys and girls entering the high school, curious and embarrassed, but very enthusiastic about their new adventure in education.

Mr. Sears' understanding, gracious manner and kind remarks put ns at ease and we were soon made In feel that we belonged. flur acquaintance with Mr. Sears, however, was -hortflired for small he chose to retire. Xlr. Martin now succeeded Mr. Sears. NNW to organize the sophomore class! 'llhe election results on November eighth showed Herald 'l'homas, president: .Xrthur Casavant, vice-presidentg Sheila llrennan, secretary, and 'loan Hell, treasurer. Representatives of our class were active on the various committees and in school activities such as: junior Red Cross. S xssuiox Board, Varsity teams, Glee Club, Orchestra, and Student Coun- cil. 'I'he Yarsity football and basketball teams found it necessary to dip into the sophomore class to obtain the talents of .lunie liranciose and Billy Carr. 'I'his year we telt a great loss, 1 me of our classmates, Roger Russell, who had resided in Natick only a short time, suffered a fatal accident. Miss Randall, our lnnehroom dietitian, retired to 'enjoy a bit of leisure after many years of faithful service. .Xfter our summer vacation in l'l-15, we returned to school to start our Junior year. We were full of ambition and hopeful of starting a year of greater accom- llishnient in scholastic, athletic, and social activities. Mr. Maffeo had returned
