Weston High School - Key Yearbook (Weston, MA)

In our sophomore year Nancy Woodman, the New Hampshire belle, and Kenny King joined our happy little group, while Harry Patterson, Noel Coletti, Bob Owens, Corinne Crehan, Louise Benotti, and Bruce Ayer left. In our junior year, we gave the Junior Prom at which Dolly Clark was chosen Queen, and her court included Betsy Shaw, Jeanne Rogers, Dorothy Sheehan, Carolyn Robinson, Lorraine Comeau, and Madeline Homond. During our senior year, John Beebe, Eleanor Walls, and Gwendolyn Gale reinforced us. One of the high spots of the year came when Henry Johnson represented us on the Junior Town Meeting of the Air,’’ where he ably dis¬ cussed Should We Abolish the Electoral College?” We were well represented. Remember the time Snap” Malloy threw a ball into the girls’ locker room, sending a shower of glass down poor Gerrie’s back? Remember the time someone threw John Beebe’s clothes into the girls’ locker room and they couldn’t be found until a certain young lady suddenly discovered them and gave them back? We will long remember the members of our class now in the armed serv¬ ices. These include Paul Foote, Gordon Desmond, Philip Noyes, and Ken¬ neth King in the Navy, and Alfred Edmunds in the Army Air Corps. As a class we have had our difficulties, but the good times we have had have more than made up for them.

CLASS HISTORY One depressing September morn in 1933, the first grade teacher, Miss Adams, blinked her eyes twice at the curious spectacle confronting her. No wonder, for there we were—a group of terrified little youngsters. Miss Adams didn’t quite know what to do with us. The members of that class still with us are Joan Brouillette, Alice Dolan, June Fiske, Pauline Jacques, Priscilla Otto, Nancy Peakes, Christine Tebo, David Campbell, Seaton Jackson, Henry John¬ son, John Mele, Jack Patterson, Tommy Tilton, and Alden Whittemore. Were we envious because Alice Dolan could spell electricity, and Miss Brotchie took her around to show her off! Geraldine Morgan, our ballet dancer, came skipping happily into the second grade. No one had courage enough to enter our class in the third or fourth grades, because in the third, Priscilla Otto was pulled out of her chair by the ears for breaking a pencil, and in the fourth, one of the boys had the misfortune to have his ears boxed because of an impertinent remark to the teacher. Howver, we were redeemed in the fifth, for Marshall Hills and Kenneth Turner came into our happy little gathering under the sheltering wing of Mrs. Eldred. Shall we ever forget how a certain brave lad put a mouse in Mrs. Eldred’s desk drawer, and how the girls all shrieked? Ruth Maxted and Jean Tiffany joined us in the sixth grade, and Anna Sullivan and June Dugan, a redhead with a temper to match, left us. As we sailed into junior high school, Andrea Byron, Lorraine Comeau, Martha Davis, Vera Graves, Betty Tebeau, and Alfred Edmunds came along to suffer with us. We certainly had fun this year with the unusual minstrel show we put on in Assembly. With our impressive entrance into the eighth grade came one of our most popular girls, Kay Ritz. Poor Kay! someone was forever trying to dunk those lovely pigtails into an inkwell. In our freshman year we gave poor POP” a good many headaches with all our talking. Several new pupils—Jeanne Rogers, Sally Caffrey, Phyllis Brown, Naomi Newell, Carolyn Robinson, and Bob Owens—joined our ranks, and Eleanor Simmonds came and went. 14
