Senior Class History In September of nineteen hundred and sixty-two a wonderful thing happened to South Dorchester---forty-five seventh graders stepped through its doors for a higher ed- ucation, We were scared, but we were also industrious and eager to learn, A year went by, and we entered our second year of junior high school feeling a little less frightened and having a whole year's experience. We faced many more tasks, but we had a greater feeling of security. Elected as our representatives to the Stu- dent Council were Harry Phillips, Sheila Dawson, Tommy Powley, and Linda McGlaughlin. We were really beginning to be great leaders, At last our first year of senior high school came and with it the honor of being freshmen, We also had the responsibility of sponsoring our first dance. Our plans were as elaborate as those of a huge inaugural ball, but we narrowed them down a little. We learned that our delegates to the student government were Herbert Hughes and Rosemary Parks with Linda McGlaughlin as the treasurer. After another year, and having advanced a step higher, we became sophomores, This did not stop us from having fun because we got into more mischief than we ever had, But we anxiously awaited the final steps toward our goal--graduation. To head us in that direction were Keith Rippons and Herbert Hughes, our homeroom repre- sentatives, while Rosemary Parks held the office of secretary. As our final year came a little closer, we gained the acclaimed role of juniors. This meant sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom and acquiring our class rings, two symbols of the hard work during our past years. But with the Prom came many headaches and problems, Mrs. Parks was our class adviser, and our officers were as follows: President-Rosemary Parks, Vice-President- Linda McGlaughlin, Secretary-Ella Jones, Treasurer-Herbert Hughes, Finally we are seniors. We realize the honor in this name and we try to set examples for the underclassmen, who one day will also be seniors. Our class has decreased to twenty-one students, but within our small class each is an individual and a leader. To help mold us into what we are is Mrs. Matthews, our homeroom teacher and our Class adviser during our last memorable year at S.D. Our leaders are Herbert Hughes holding the position of editor of the MARINER, and Danny Mills and Linda McGlaughlin acting as co-editors of the SO DO. Reigning over the Student Council as president is Jimmy Parks. Having reached our final destination, we are now seniors and hopefully waiting until we can obtain the one thing we have worked so diligently for in twelve years--our diplomas. As we look back over the years we recall many moments filled with hap- piness, anguish, and hard work. We hope that the graduating class of nineteen hun- dred and sixty-eight will often be remembered. As we leave, we carry many happy memories we had here and a feeling of pride that we had the opportunity of having had a role in the history of South Dorchester High. Ploae many Varhw
