In the theatrical view that year, the Dramatic Club presented A Date With Judyf while Gilbert and Sullivan gave the popular operetta, Pinafore. Both of these productions, thanks to the efforts of both the pupils and faculty involved, were great successes. In june, after a year of both hard work and fun, we were faced with the widely discussed finals. This was a new adven- ture for us, and we anticipated the worst. However, much to our surprise, we didn't find the exams so difficult as the current report had them. Clt says here! D After the summer vacation, we found ourselves again at the portals of A. H. S., this time as juniors, the inbetweeners. Our Thanksgiving Day was the happiest of happy days, for our boys defeated Mel- rose by two touchdowns. Our hockey team came through again with the G. B. I. Championship. Tomorrow the World, a serious play dealing with a young Nazi, was ably pre- sented by talented members of the Dra- matic Club. Through the efforts of all concerned, the production was both a H- nancial and dramatic success. The Gil- bert and Sullivan presented the Gondo- liers charmingly, and that was equally suc- cessful.

Page Eleven After a Week of groping our way through the maze of corridors Qwith no help from the sophisticated upperclass- menj we, the humble and ridiculed Sopho- mores, finally settled down to diligent school work and found ourselves gradually getting into the swing of high school life. As sophomores, our first Thanksgiving Day football game was rather a disap- pointment, for after travelling to Medford to play Melrose on a muddy field, our per- severing team was defeated by one touch- down. Our football defeat was soon compen- sated for, because our hockey team won not only the G. B. I., but the New Eng- land Championship as well. Our base- ball team also brought acclaim ro A. H. S.

On February 6, we held our junior Prom, one of the biggest events of the year. None of us will forget how cold it was, and how much snow there was, or the trouble we had getting permission for the use of the family car. All who attended, however, had a wonderful time and all soon forgot their 'lweather troubles. The committees gave us a beautiful prom, and we all were very thankful. Once again, we met dreaded finals, but when they were over, all Juniors breathed a sigh of relief, for these were our last finals. After our Junior year, our beloved prin- cipal, Mr. Gammons, retired and Mr. Mor- rill, our former assistant principal, became our school master. We were all very sad to have Mr. Gammons go but also glad to have Mr. Morrill succeed him. After a wonderful vacation Chow short it seemed!D we again returned to A. H. S. We were now the respected mighty Sen- iors, although we felt no different from before. Page Thirteen In September we held the elections for Class Cfficers. After much discussion, the final winners were Bob Lennon, presi- dent, Howie', Cleary, vice-president, Lois Hart, secretary, and jack Doran, treasurer.
