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.

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.

At our last Thanksgiving Day game as members of A. H. S., we saw our boys march again to glorious victory. All at once those activities that belong exclusively to Seniors began. Seniors rushed to have their pictures taken at the class photographers, Loring Studio. Soon afterwards, the enthusiastic exchange of pictures began. The class rings were or- dered fromthe jeweler, Loren Murchison. The Year Book Committee was ap- pointed, and the task of assembling the book began. y In the theatrical line, the Dramatic Club presented The Divine Flora. Many talented Seniors helped to make this pro- duction the success that it was. Atuthe time of this writing, the Gilbert and Sullivan production of Iolanthe', has not been presented, but it is well under way. Although the hockey season has just begun, at the end of five games the team is still victorious. Looks good! Also in the future are the greatest events of our high school careers: the Sen- ior Prom, Class Day, and, last but not least, Graduation. The Senior Prom is to be held at the Totem Pole on April 21. This is the first time A. H. S, has had a prom there. We are now graduating from high school. In the years that we have spent here, we have known both work and play, and we shall always cherish the precious memories of high school days. In the fu- ture, some of us will go on to higher edu- cation, while others will venture into the business world. Regardless of the task, we must strive to do our best through the application of the knowledge and experi- ence which we have gained here. For it is our duty, the high school gradu- ates of today, to lay the cornerstones of a peaceful and prosperous tomorrow. Page F omfteen
