UE! 'jafifgfafg presented an excerpt from the play William Tell . When the time for our dance came around, of course, we had to think up something original. The happy result for all who attended was the HG. I. live with an all soldier orchestra. Following our plan of being original we chose our rings. All metal fgold of coursel and very at- tractive. We'll not say that several of the owners had their rings only a few days. Curt Leonard was so good in the play last year that he was again asked to participate and did a fine job. Needless to say, we were so well represented on the Blue Owl and various clubs that a list of names would fill the rest of this page. A very successful year came to a close with two thoughts uppermost in our minds: a deep feeling of gratitude for our advisors, Miss Ruth Bradley and Mr. Cooper and the thrill of being SENIORS next year. Senior Year Seniors, at last. After three years of struggling, we are seniors. What does this mean? We are merely privileged to fight our way for a front seat in the balcony. We wasted no time in selecting class officers. Those who came out on top were: President, Robert Martineaug Vice-President, Rollis Kubiskig Secretary, Molly Treen, and Treasurer, Patricia Robbins. These officers with runner-up for office put on the first social of the year 'lThe Black Cat Ball which was a great success. Hardly had this dance been put on when the Senior Prom date came around. The name selected for this dance was Stardust . Advisor for both dances and for all other activities was Miss Simonds whom we couldn't do without. The Senior Play Spring Green coached by Miss Simonds was presented on February 4th. Those participating were: William Lishrnan, lean Buchanan, Malcolm Currie, Patricia Robbins, Curt Leonard, Marjorie Bouchard, Albert Cooper, lacqueline Bar- rett, Gertrude Barton, Marion Haley, Dorothy lohnson, Melvin Globus, Robert Hogberg, and a lone freshman Albert Edelstein. Our able prompter was Elinor Price. The play was a huge success and enjoyed by everyone. Our class motto To do our best, that is success was selected and the class song written by Curtis Leonard, At the end of these four years, most of us would be willing to start in as freshmen again.

'jigs 'ja iff: fa fa 'I 'r Ls .4 IA I 1 r , CLASS HISTORY Freshman Year Once upon a morning dreary As we pondered weak and weary Before those curious and foreboding doors-- Shy? We were freshmen, of course. Our first day consisted of asking upper classmen where 109, 201 or 307 was. After being shoved around like this for a few months, we finally caught on to our- selves. During the course of the year, we were serenaded by Rubinoff, the great violinist. After the performance we eager beavers Call freshmenl scram- bled backstage to get his autograph. ln the middle of the year, Mr. Hall, our Ancient History teacher became Principal. Mr. Gori who succeeded Mr. Hall's position as history teacher, be- came coach. The Student Council accomplished outstanding achievements during our first year. The juke box was bought and put into operation. Dances were held on Friday afternoons. A K. P. committee was also installed. This committee went around and saw that all milk bottles were put back in the right places Cnot on the gym floorl. We, the underdogs, at long last had the oppor- tunity to elect our class officers. Results were as follows: President, lean Buchanan, Vice-President, Carol Ashley, Secretary, Molly Treen, Treasurer, Patty Robbins. With our class advisor Miss Pierce and Miss Farr and other classmates ably assisting, we produced our first dance which proved to be a sensation, A Night in Shanghai . Many of us still have souvenirs of this dance hanging about bedrooms. Our brilliant basketball team went to Tech this year and came out victors. When this year came to a happy ending, we considered ourselves worldly wise and were just waiting for the incoming freshman class to pull the same boners as we did. 4-5 fglf 'ZH Sophomore Year Came a voice from near the door Was the teacher, nothing more With a considerably increased sense of impor- tance we returned to the corridors of A. H. S. How familiar these corridors have become in one short year. We marveled at how small the Freshmen seemed. Was it 'possible that we were that short of stature? We, however, got off to a good start by our election of class officers: lean Buchanan, President, Frank Andrews, Vice-President, Molly Treen, Secre- tary, Patty Robbins, Treasurer. After that it was only a matter of a few short weeks before we presented the long-awaited Shamrock Social , as much a success as its predecessor. Having reached our present level of importance with notable representatives in the Student CouncilfRichard Doescher, Edward Lo- gan, Alice Whitney, we turned our attention to new conquests. Our prestige was notably increased by the appearance inthe Senior Play The Bat in the Belfry of Curt Leonard, our noted class thespain. After a year filled with athletic games, dances and sessions, welprepared for another vacation, Natural- ly the wastebaskets are filled to overflowing with passes, gum wrappers and pads for lockers and desks had to be cleaned. Those happy faces belong to the honor students who had no exams to take. At last the fatal day arrived when the little yellow cards were passed out for the last time that year. Gee! We passed! Junior Year Bob Martineau was elected to carry us through the lunior year ably assisted by Frank Andrews as Vice-President, Patty Robbins and Molly Treen, the old standbys as Secretary and Treasurer. For the first time in several years the Latin classes enjoyed a Roman Banquet at which time the luniors were the masters and the underclassmen the slaves. The German Club again became active and Page Twenty-seven
