9 THE SASSAMON most valuable lineman on the Natick team, while again, Richard Clasby received the William E. Hanagan Memorial Trophy, for being the most out- standing backlield player on the team. During the week of January 19 the stage in the auditorium was set as a miniature studio by Vantine's, at which time we nad our pictures taken for the yearbook and also graduation. The Governor of Massachusetts proclaimed a Good Government Day on April 8, 1949. For this one day the duties in the state capitol were performed by high school senators and representatives, and also a student governor. All high schools of surrounding towns held elections for these candidates, and our elections for candidates were as follows: Representative, james Arena, with alternate, Richard Clasby, and Senator, George Mitchell. The Senior Play, Doctor's Orders, was put on two nights, February 16 and 17, with two different casts, under the capable direction of Mrs. DeMeritt. Kay Neary played the leading part and did a superb job both nights as Letty, the owner of a department store. Barbara Lilja and Beverly Nelson portrayed successfully, the part of Mamie, the maid. Alice Hawes, who took the part of Agatha, and Marie Mattson, who played the part of Julia did a very fine job. Grace Palladino and Annette Grogan, who played the part of Rita, were exceptionally good, and we will never forget the fine acting of Rebecca Col- bourne, Janet Wall, and Peggy Nolan, as the hatmakers, who had the crowd wondering where they ever got such silly looking hats. A look to the opposite sex of the play finds Gene Ames and Donald Hubbard starring in the part of Steve, the man of Rita's dreams, Ernie Langevin as Jerome who hnally won Letty's heartg Walter Gorenflo as Michael, the rough and ready detective who caught Letty shoplifting in her own storeg George Stockbridge as Adolph, Julia's father, and jim Powers as Dr. Reynolds, the eccentric psychiatrist, who could have used some wrestling holds to keep Mamie in her place. Between acts, the audience was held spellbound by the singing of Camille Wiggles- worth and Hugh O'Rourke, as well as by a talented junior, Ruth Barber. This play will always be one of our fondest memories. Early in January Marjorie Frost was chosen by her classmates to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. At an award assembly in May Dick Clasby was awarded the Ralph Howard Trophy for his outstanding work on the hockey team and the Italian- American Trophy as an outstanding football player, while jim Arena received the Leonard H. Foley Trophy as the most valuable basketball player. The Class Party will be held on june 8, and our last social function, the Senior Reception, will take place on Friday, june 10. With anxiety in our hearts we look forward to these last gatherings which will end our Senior activities before graduation. This now ends the History of the Class of 49,' until each Senior receives his or her diploma to set them out on his own. Some of us will go on to school, while the rest of us will go out to work. So farewell, Alma Mater, and thank you for all your wonderful friendships. VINCIQN1' CARn12i.i.iccHlo
