ClaM HiAtcri) As we have two class advisors, I felt it would be les3 con- fusing if I should use an iraaginery teacher as ray subject. She is Miss Perriffitt. Shall we join her?...... At last, thought Miss Perriffitt as she completed the pre- parations for the Commencement exercises for the following day. It aoesn't seem quite possible that ny class will leave me to- morrow. I can still remember the first day I saw them, 6 years ago. I'll never forget how hopelessly lost and insignificant I felt as they swarmed down the corridors with half-dazed expressions on their faces. I thought we'd never accomplish the impossible and straighten out their problems. My goodness—It seemed as if it were months before they were capable of being in the right class at the right time. But finally, our efforts were rewarded and we settled down to a fairly normal schedule. I believe the hardest assignment in ny career has been that of trying to get the class to think as a class. Our first class meeting was a start toward this goal. As a result of our elec- tion, we had Allen MacSachern as President, with Robert Hayward as Vice-President, Marcia Ayers as Secretary, and, oh yes, Rick Wilson as Treasurer. Can I ever forget our first big undertaking, the Jabberwock? Joe Salisbury was a tremendous success in his combined roles of hero, heroine, and villain in a melodrama, and Guy Renfro was also good with his taps What an evening that wasl And I mustn't overlook our class picnic at Goddard Park—it was a perfect day. The students had a wonderful time and because of this, they stayed an extra hour. How grateful they were to the good-natured bus driver for waiting with them. Everyone was pleased, making a satisfactory and enjoyable way to end our first year as a class. My labors of the previous year were not entirely in vain, fortunately, for when they began their second year together, the class began to think of the future and to work for a goal, the senior class trip. Of course, they had a new slate of officers, Robert Hayward became President, with Robert Byers as Vice-President, Jean St. Pierre as Secretary, and Allen MacEachem as Treasurer. The question of class dues is always a sore spot, but the class re- luctantly agreed to the staggering sum of 2$£ a month. A momentous occasion of this year was the Halloween Party . I don't believe I shall ever forget the enthusiasm with which they created the tunnel of horror under the stage, anticipating the screams of the terrified victima. I still laugh when it comes to mind. The night was excellent for the occasion, full of suspense and intrigue, and we all enjoyed ourselves. They bent their efforts, through much persuasion on ray part, towards raising money, and they again entered the Jabbervock— and, as before, they had a good time doing it. Since the previous class picnic had been so enjoyable, they had another one, terminating their second year as a class. The poor class came back to school in the fall, greatly dis- illusioned, for now they were lowly” Freshmen. They got all of the biggety taken out of them and were treated like all other underclassmen. They seemed so distressed and rejected, I really had a bit of sympathy for them. Everyone ha3 growing pains, how- ever, and they soon became accustomed to the fact that they were merely Freshmen. As they got under way again, their officers had to be changed—after all, we are living in a democracy. This time Allen hacSachem was President, with Marcia Ayers as Vice-Presi- dent, Shirley Montana as Secretary, and Jean St. Pierre as Treas- urer. Allen, after some months, resigned, and was succeeded by Shirley. Being treated like youngsters, which naturally they weren't, they decided to act the part and thus, they had, Baby Day . What a ludicrous sight some made all decked out fit to kill in their best diapers and baby bottles. Roger Daniels was especial- ly fascinating with his short outfit and his long legs. They felt pretty important that day, but oh, how silly they looked. I guess you just can't keep a good class down. As sophmores, they did relatively little in memorable activ- ities. Their main objective was in building the treasury, which was pitifully small. They held numerous food sales and undertook the selling of Christmas cards. They again elected new officers. Let me think, there was Robert Ayers, President, Fred Lakeway, Vice-President, Thomas 3uckley, Treasurer, and, oh yes, —our little belle among the beaus, Louise Tyrrell, Secretary. They entered the Jabberwock again, with a satire of Class Day . As usual, they had a marvelous time. I won't mention the work and headaches, for they are all forgotten with the satisfac- tion of a job well done. As juniors, my class was nearing the end of their high school career. Of course, no one seemed to realize this, and they went along as usual, carefree and careless. Naturally we reelected officers, and we chose Marcia Ayers as President, John Morlock as Vice-President, Donna Kemett as Secretary, and Robert Stevens as Treasurer. Under much protest, I managed to insure $5 dues from each member of the class, which by the way, I have yet to receive from some. Their complacent attitude changed when the class rings were mentioned, and there was no rest for me until each had his or her ring on their finger, although some did not keep them for long. They chose a round Westfield as their ring style. After Christmas, they really got working in earnest. They held a scrap drjvs which met with amazing success, due to the driving spirit of the boys and their willingness to work. Following this scrap drive, they launched into their Junior Prom. Plan-work-headaches-----headaches-work-plan—and because of the efforts of many people, they obtained permission to use the Officers' Club at the Quonset Naval Air Station. The students were in their glory that night, which is understandable, because they had one of the finest proms I've known. They were highly praised for its excellence, and I believe I was the proudest of all. This was my class 1 For many long, weary months, they worked continually on the Junior Play, Strictly Formal . The opening night will always remain as a precious memory to me, and as the curtain came down on the final act, there was a thunder of applause. My eyes were far from dry that night as I realized what a wonderful class I had. Our year was brought to a close by a glorious picnic at Lake Wauchaug. It was a day just made for them, and they used it to good advantage. Everyone was extremely satisfied and no one went away unhappy. -And tnen they were Seniors- How important that word rings in their ears. After all, weren’t they the infallible ones? I finally managed to flatten their craniums a little, and we got under way. Their first assignment was a change of officers, which they quickly accomplished. They re-elected Marcia Ayers as President, and Bob Stevens as Treasurer; Louise Tyrrell and Jocelyn Gadoury became Vice-President and Secretary respectively. Next, our Yearbook, which had already started rolling, was brought to the attention of the class. You see, a good deal had been forgotten throughout a long, hard summer of toil. Every night for many weeks, the play cast met to learn their lines. It was hard work and often monotonous, but they were faithful and despite my constant worrying and fretting, the play, Our Miss Brooks , was a hit, well received by all. After the play, their thoughts shifted, or rather, I shifted their thoughts, to ways and means of raising money for their forthcoming class trip. They held food sales, sold Christmas trees, cards, and corsages, and even a little mascot, an N.K. Skipper dog, in order to build up our treasury. Of course, as a culmination of all hopes and efforts, they left for Washington on the evening of April 18. Throughout the entire .trip, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely—their fondest dreams being fulfilled. I'm sure that all agreed they were well rewarded with the trip. As I look back, upon the few years I have had with this class, I feel that my efforts and determination have borne fruit, and I can truly say that we have had a wonderful six years to- gether J.

LEWIS ClaAA Peem Mr. Perry, Miss Moffitt Marcia Ayers (President), Louise Tyrrell (Vice-President) Jocelyn Gadoury (Secretary), Robert Stevens (Treasurer) ClaM Prcphecif Marilyn, we're lost! I screamed in horror, as the realization broke through to my bewildered brain,that it was now well past twilight and we two, Marilyn Browne and I, were in the middle of a forest which at this point seem- ed a veritable jungle. How could two such intelligent members of the Class of 19$U get into this predicament? Frankly, for us it was easy. We had taken a stroll through the peaceful quiet of these shadowy woods in the early afternoon, in order to con- centrate on ideas for the prophecy, which we were expected to write for Senior Class Day. Now we were lost in a maze of trees unable to determine which way was Out! After groping around aimlessly in the semi-darkness, we simultane- ously spied a large cave. Of course we were not afraid, merely cautious, as we stealthily approach- ed the dark, forbidding entrance. Strangely enough, the interior of the cave was flooded with a weird bluish-green light, the source of which we could not immediately determine. At last, we spied a mysterious looking door made of thick steel that not even a bazooka could pierceI The light that we had seen from the cave's entrance seemed to come from under this door, and being curi- ous, we decided to knock. Before we were able to even lift our hand, the door suddenly flew open. I can remember clearly the feeling that came over me. I wanted to turn and run, but my feet felt as though they were glued to the very spot on which I was standing. We peered into the rooms and at first we could see no one. Then I heard .larilyn let out a feeble cry; she poked me in the back. As I looked around at her, I noticed that she was looking down at something in the room. I turned to sep wh't had frightened herl Heavens to Hannah and a bucket of hot ralstonl There before us stood a small elf not more than two feet tall! He was dressed in a preen suit with a string of bells on the tassel. What an odd looking creature, I thought! His face was a friendly one, and yet I couldn't believe that he was human. He looked almost like someone from Mars. For a few moments not a word was spoken, and then the small man at the door began laughing. Come on in, he said; I thought I heard someone outside the door. We went in and there, to our surprise, were many elves working on little figurines. We asked him what the figurines were for; he told us that they re- presented the Senior Class of 195U and what they would be doing 10 years hence. On one side of this large room was a small room which contained the figurines representing the Seniors from our school. He took us to the door and as we looked inside, we saw a large table in the center of the room. On this table was a model layout of North Kingstown. The elf told us that he had 3ome magic powder, and that by sprinkling it on us we would become as small as the figurines on the model. We agreed that it would be a good way to find out what our classmates would be doing. He warned us that after 12 hours the ef- fect would wear off, and we would regain our natural size again. He sprinkled the magic powder on our heads and before we knew it, we were as tiny as the figurines on the table. We looked around us and found that we were standing before a large store. There was a sign over the door which head, Griff's Super Market, Ryan's big- gest competitor. We decided to go inside and look around, thinking that may- be we would see someone that we knew. As we entered the store, we saw a woman in a police uniform. Why I it was Peggy 3 r owning anci on her badge was written Chief of Police I We stopped to speak to her and she asked us if we had heard that Harlow DeMars was one operator of a new private detective agency here in Wickford. She told us that right now they were working together on a large case with a group called the Vigilantes. She told us that they had al- most solved the case, and hurried away saying that Marlow was waiting at the Police Station with more clues. After seeing Peggy, we decided that we would walk through the store, hoping that perhaps we would see someone else. We walked up and down the aisles of food, and saw no one we knew until we came to the meat counter. There were Paul and Richard Casey, the world’s best butchers. Since the meat counter was crowded and they were very busy we had no chance to talk to them. Already we had spent considerable time in Griff's and remembering tht we had oniy 12 hours, we continued on our way. Across the street from Griff's was a gas station operated by John West- lake, and behind it was a rent-a-car shop. We went in to talk to the owner and whom did we see but Bob Gants. On telling him that we were looking up our classmates to see what they were doing, he told us we could take the best car in the place. We chose a hot rod that had just been turned in. His T. V. was going full blast, so we sat down to watch it and relax for a few minutes. There was John Morlock, the new Buffalo Bob, just signing off for Howdy Doody. The T. V. was still going later when we got ready to leave and we thought we heard a familiar voice. Surely enough, there we saw Bob Ayers, football coach at Harvard, talking to today's top champions, the only football team to go un- defeated for 5 straight years, and Rick was giving them quite a buildup. At the end of the program we started on our way. Driving up Main Street, we saw Cy Cranston, and stopped to give him a ride. He told us that he had decided to undertake his father's mortuary bus- iness, but that ight now business was dead and the situation was very grave. His motto was Our customers never complain . He and Jean St. Pierre finally got married; they are living on West Main Street here in Wickford. We told him of our purpose and asked if he could hlep us. He told us that Dave Champ- lin was a famous stockcar driver, also that Dave was bound to be his next cus- tomer. Of course, Susan Fletcher, his wife, goes with their ten children to watch him race every week. Cy told us about a movie he had seen the night be- fore, starrring Joan Bruskie, Hollywood's new Marilyn Monroe, (she died her hair blonde, too), and Fred Lakeway, who now stars in western movies. By that time we had arrived at Cy's house, and after dropping him off we decided to visit our alma mater, dear old N. K. On entering the school, we looked into the nearest room and saw Duzzy Byers, the new French teacher. We went in to talk with him and found that others working in the school were Gertie Dyer, as the girls' gym teacher; Pat Lewis, dietician in the cafeteria, and Jim Tripp, head janitor with his assis- tants, Janice Capwell and Dolores Baker. Just then we heard a loud shout and hurried from the room to see who it was. We looked up and down the hall, but could see no one. The voice sounded as if it were coming from the typing room, so we looked in and there was Mr. Perry having a discussion with his assistant, June Salisbury. The minute they saw us they quieted down to a yell. We told them what we were trying to do and they told us that Bob Stevens was the Governor of Rhode Island, and his Secretary was Doris Douglass. Anna Marie Dougherty was now on T. V. It seems that she has taken over Alice Jackson’s show and is a cooking demonstrator?? They also told us to be sure to tune in the Comedy Hour Sunday night starring Mary Butler, and her sidekicks, Mildred Cavanagh and Kay Collins. The bell rang then and Mr. Perry and June had to go to their next class. We had learned about many of the kids here at school. By this tine we were hungry and thirsty; driving toward East Greenwich we saw a nice looking restaurant called Marsden's Manor”, owned and .operated by Lorraine Marsden. We thought that this would be a good place to stop, so we went inside. The head waiter approached and gave us a menu. Who do you think it was? None other than Martin Hellewell. He told us that he had heard from Kirk Smith, who was now a big game hunter in Africa. As part of his hunting party he had Sis Rockwell, as interpretor, Joan Lewis as cook, and Donna Ken- nett as nurse. Lorraine came out then to see what was happening and we started talking to her. She informed us that she was buying all her fresh fruits and vegetables from one of the world's largest farms, owned by Bill Roberts and Charlotte Johnson. Just as we got ready to leave, in walked Lynne Lemaire who informed us that she was now the owner of a marriage council concern. She had been known to save 250,000 marriages. One of the many she had saved was Tom rennett's. Tom is now editor of True Confessions” magazine. as it was getting late, we thought that we had better leave. We hadn't driven far when we saw a cute little florist shop. As we got closer, we saw Eileen McIntyre coming out of the door. We stopped to talk to her and found out that she had worked at Seaveys for five years and after seeing that there was no profit in it, she quit and went into the florist business. She told us tlv t Marcia Ayers was now the Dean of Girls at a very prominent girls' school down the road, so we decided to visit her. We didn't have to go very far before we saw a beautiful building which had inscribed over the door, Ayers Academy—School for Girls. On knocking at the door it was immediately opened by Allan MacEachern, the doorman. He conducted us down a long corridor until we came to a door, which had printed on it, Miss Marcia Ayers, Dean of Girls . He asked us to wait while he told Marcia that we were here. We had to wait about ten minutes, but finally Marcia came out to speak to us. She excused herself for being so long, telling us that she had just been talking to Louise Tyrrell, who was going to be the piano accompanist for their chorus. Louise had been Liberace's understuay for the past six years, but since Liberace was going on a year's tour in Europe she was looking for a job. Others that Marcia had employed at her school were Cynthia Allen as Secretary, Peggy Eennett was gym teacher, and Carolyn Gard- iner as dancing instructor. We asked Marcia if she would show us around her school. Naturally she agreed, so we started out. The first room we entered was the library; Marcia had just received a new order of books. Marilyn picked one up, looked at it, and then said to me, Why look who the editor is. None other than Betty Gadoury, the editor of our yearbook in school. We had only a few hours left so Marcia quickly showed us the remainder of the school. While walking, we asked Marcia if she knew the where-a-bouts of any of the other kids. She told us that Dave Gardiner was a trick auto driver whose specialty was turning over. I guess he'11 never forget those good old school days. Shirley Castle was the owner of a beauty shop, and from what Marcia had heard, she really had a booming business. It was then time to leave so after saying ppodbye to Marcia we decided to take the car back to the shop. While driving back we heard a fire siren. Coming down the road was one of the largest firetrucks we had ever seen. It was driven by Edith Conn who was now the Fire Chief. Clinging to the back of the truck were Jocelyn Gadoury, Audrey Fitzgerald, and Mary Walker who were part of Edith's fire squad. We finally arrived at the rent-a-car shop. Bob still had his T. V, going and since we still had a few minutes left we sat down to watch. The announcer was saying, Here is today's wrestling from Hollywood. In the white corner wearing white trunks we have Edward Briggs, and in the black corner wearing black trunks is Ed Mcln ire. At this time Marilyn and I were beginning to feel a little odd. Vie no- ticed that we were getting larger so we ran outside, and before we knew it we were back in the cave talking to the elf. He asked us if we had found out what we wanted to know. We told him we had and thanked him very much. He then of- fered to show us the way out of the woods and back to the car. He took us through the cave and showed us a little path, telling us to follow it. After arriving at the car we just sat there wondering if all this had really happened. Whether or not it did we'll leave up to you to decide. What- ever our classmates do, we wish them every success in the world and may God always be watching over them. 6y 77. • «S’- Bro M Donna Louise T FOURTH ROW—L. Mclntirej W. Morra; J. Matteson; C.

We at once got into the Jabbervrock and walked right off with first prize. To end our bewilderment we held our first class picnic at Goddard Park and looked forward to a successful eighth grade. Did we say looked for a successful year? What a yeart We held a Harvest Dance in November for eight graders only which was a great success. The last project of the year was the picnic at Arcadia which was much more successful than the first. Now that we are in high school, we have left behind us mary immature actions and have begun to act as adults should. Following the example of previous classes and realizing that we could use all the money we could possibly get, we decided to have our first fo. d sale which, incidentally, vias a great success. Lake Mishnock will not forget the class of 5£ where we held our outing, a highly successful one. As Sophomores we initiated the trail of Skipper Car Plates. Not only did this build up our treasury, but advertised our school throughout the community and state. In the spring of this year our main social event was the Sophomore Hop which turned out to be a huge social success and finan- cial failure. During the year several food sales were conducted. The first project of this year was the inevitable food sale. As Mr. Rose, our advisor, left us to become principal of the new Davisville school, we had to find a new advisor. We will miss Mr. Rose who was very popular among usj however, we were fortunate when Mr. Lewis consented to take our class. We are now working like beavers on the class play and Junior Prom which we hope will be very successful. FOURTH ROW—J. Johnson; D. Belden; D. R� esner; H. Glover; C. Anderson; W. Arnold; W.

V e wish to express our sincere thanks to our Editor-in-Chief, Betty Gadoury, for the fine work she has done in making the publication of this book Dossible. Also, we wish to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to the members of the faculty and students who, through hard work and co-operation with our staff, made the gathering of the material on these pages a reality. editor-in-chief Betty Oadoury TEACHER Mary Walker PERSONALITIES Joan Lewis CO-EDITORS Dave Gardiner Carolyn Gardiner Jean St. Pierre ORGANIZATIONS Cynthia Allen business Lynne Lemaire MANAGER Lorraine Yarsden ATHLETICS Fred Lakeway ADS Cy Cranston Bob Ayers John Morlock Marlow DeMars TYPISTS June Salisbury Doris Douglass Sales Bill Roberts Lynne Lemaire Rick Wilson Joan Bruskie photographers Sis Rockwell ART Jocelyn Gadoury Martin Hellewell Peggy P.ockwell STUDENT AIDS Charlotte Johnson PERSONALITIES Louise Tyrrell Bill Griffin Gert Dyer Donna Kennett PROJECTION CLUB Isn't it odd how the students break into smiles when they see a member of the Projection Club setting up the movie camera in their class room? Hr. Hellewell, their advisor, shows them the intricacies of setting up and run- ning the cameras. Members give up much of their free time to show films, which are obtained from the State Film Library, to fellow students. We wish to thank this club for their fine work, and may we add, Keep up the good workl STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council was newly organized in the spring of 1953 when of- ficers were elected in an all-school campaign. Kirk Smith was voted presi- dent, with Mr. Algren as the advisor. Although the group has sponsored a dance and an asderably for the stu- dents, its main purpose is to represent the students in an effort to better the school. We wish the Council the best of success in their efforts and know that t ey will not be in vain. PEP CLUB The Pep Club was organizea to promote school spirit among the students and to offer as much entertainment as possible in our school. The club participated in many different skits at our football games, and through these they hare shown us what true spirit is. It has also sponsored many dances and at times has donated the proceeds to different local benefits. During the past year, a Christmas program was held at the Crawford Allen Memorial Hospital to entertain the little children there. To the members, and to its president and founder, Rudy Sanchez, we ex- tend our congratulations for the interest and school spirit that has been shown toward our team. Keep up the grand work, gang! FIRE DEPARTMENT The Fire Department, supervised by Mr. Lewis, was organized with the hope of influencing its members toward future membership in the North Kings- town Fire Department. Eight former students of our school are now members of the town fire department and we hope that others will follow them. Weekly meetings are usually held at the Fire Station in Wickford; and when the boys have learned the equipment and have passed the required tests, they are awarded certificates for their achievements. In case of a major em- ergency, the boys assist the N. K. Fire Department. At the end of the school year, the boys give a demonstration of their accomplishments. For this demonstration, the group is divided into two teams which compete in the exercises. To this fine organization we tip our hats for their splendid work and worthwhile cause. 000D WILL SOCIETY The members of the Good Will Society are selected from each class by the teachers and the student council. The qualifications of a selected member are a pleasing appearance, pleasing personality, dependability, and average grades. The purpose of the Good Will Society is to have the members act as ushers at school activities, and to greet new students and acquaint them with our school. The members also take part in collecting food in each homeroom for the Lions' Club Thanksgiving baskets. To Miss Tew, the advisor, and the members of the Good Will Society, we wish to say that we are proua to have such a fine organization in our school. Keep up the splendid workl FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The F.F.A., under the direction of Mr. Lewis, is an agricultural organi- zation for boys enrolled in vocational agriculture. Its main purpose is to teach its members leadership, and to create interest in farming as an occupa- tion. The state F.F.A. organization this year sent John Westlake and Dave Gard- iner, seniors at North Kingstown, to Kansas City, Missouri, to represent the R. I. Association at the twenty-fifth National F.F.A. Convention. The N. K. Chapter, which now has a membership of nineteen boys was repre- sented in the .state association by William Morra, who served as Treasurer. At the annual state convention in April,Wayne Cutting was elected State Secretary for the coming year. BACHELORS' CLUB The main objective of the Bachelors' Club is to raise funds for a $150 scholarship to be awarded to some member of the Senior class. The sale of refreshments at football and basketball games is only one of the ways in which the club raises money for this. The club features two assemblies yearly which are presented to the stu- dent body and the faculty for their entertainment and enjoyment. It also sponsors a round-robin basketball game program which is held in our school auditorium each year. To Mr. Perry, the advisor, and to the members, we wish the very best of luck and success in achieving their goal.

The Skippers threw up a stubborn defense in holding East Greenwich scoreless led by Marlow DeMars, John Morlock, Bob Ayers, and Phil Franklin. North O-Lockwood ?0 The Skippers had high hopes of knocking off Lockwood after their win over East Greenwich, and it looked as if the Skippers were going to do it as their offensive attack pushed Lockwood all over the field. After penetrating deep into Lockwood territory a number of times. North's offense bogged down midway into the second period and Lockwood went on to score three times. Fred Lakeway, Tom Bennett, and Bruce Munro led North's offense as John Morlock, Kirk Smith, and Ed Mclntire played a good defensive game. North 20-Burri11ville 3U North next traveled to Harrisville and pushed the Broncos all the way before being upended by the Class C defending Champs 3U-20. Fred Lakeway scored the Skippers first touch-down in the third quarter on a 60 yard run from Scrimmage. Although Burrillville had a commanding 27-6 edge at the be- ginning of the fourth quarter.

The long-awaited day of the South game finally arrived. The Skippers met their arch-rivals at Meade Field, Kingston and were victorious over South for the first time since 1932. North was supported by some 1200 rooters as they witnessed a hard fought ball game from the opening kickoff. It was a scoreless game at the half as both teams matched defensive strength, but in the third quarter, Tom Bennett capped a Ii5 yard sustained drive and gave North a 6-0 lead with a short plunge from three yards out. Bruce Munro added the extra point. South tallied in the fourth period but the Skippers stopped South's bid for the conversion and held a 7-6 advantage. A few plays later, Fred Lakeway broke away on a 51 yard jaunt straight up the middle to pay dirt. North missed the extra point and the score stood 13-6. South threat- ened again, but North's superior defense held off a strong South team and while playing an inspired and, the best game of the season, gained a hard earned victory. The North Kingstown football team was feted on the night of the South game with their third annual Football Banquet. It was attended by approxi- mately 125 parents, players, and other guests.
