6 THF SASSAMON Welcome---Class Day Parents, Teachers, and Friends: On behalf of the Class of 1949 it is my privilege to welcome you to the Class Day Exercises. We are indeed grateful to you, our parents and teachers, for the educational opportunities you have provided for us. May we always make you proud of our accomplishments and may we use the democratic prin. ciples we have learned here to make the world a better place for all. Class History It's been a long, hard, but happy struggle through our three years at Natick High. During these years our class has made more history than many other classes before us. In june, 1946, when we left the junior high and St. Patrick's, our one thought was, W'hat would high school be like? In September a somewhat bewildered and confused 170 novices walked through the doors of Natick High School and took their places alphabetically in homerooms as Sophomores. We were given handbooks which introduced the by-laws and rules of the school. We were also given our schedule cards which came in very handy in finding our classes. The fun began when the iirst period bell rang, and we were on our own, trying to find the right rooms. But with the help of upperclassmen and the safety patrol, we made out fairly well. In our first Sophomore assembly Mr. Maffeo greeted us and went over our handbook page by page. This helped us all very much. Our Sophomore elections were underway in October and the results were: Richard Clasby, President, Frank Agostinelli, Vice President, Marie Mattson, Secretaryg and Augustino Laurini, Treasurer. During our first year we held two dances, the first of which was held on November 22 and the second on April 18. They were enjoyed very much by many of the juniors and Seniors who attended. Mr. Plausse was very much pleased with the fine group of huskies which helped to strengthen his football squad. Soon we passed from Sophomores to juniors, leaving behind us many happy and amusing experiences. ' Class elections were again held, giving us a new set of officers: Vincent Cardellicchio, President, james Arena, Vice President, Barbara Lilja, Secre- tary, and Marjorie Frost, Treasurer. We welcomed Miss Grimes to the N. H. S. teaching staff, andito our junior class we welcomed Frances Gallagher, Kenneth Hicks, Florence Parker, and Barbara Brown. Now our class numbered approximately 168 students. Marjorie Frost, janet Connolly, and Barbara Ainsworth were elected to Liirls' State in Bridgewater, while Ted Stamuli, Peter Zicko, james Powers,
