EPILOGUE We, the class of 1949, realizing the desperate need for our lost possessions and having ob- tained permission from Saint Peter, do hereby leave the protection of heaven and once again enter the portals of A. H. S. to take back the gifts bequeathed in our Last Will and Testament. RICHARD OSTRANDER and CARL WEE- MAN, stars of the Flying Angels have been invited to the Golden Harp Tourney and are in need of the basketball they left to Joe Cassidy. EUNICE ANDERSON and JACQUELINE MOSSBERG, fast rising stars of the girls ' basket- ball team and also invited to the Tourney, need their old uniforms they left with Miss Brennan. RICHARD MARSH, DAVE PERRY, and RICHARD SARGENT, tired of hitching rides on clouds, demand their old Hot Rods for faster and more modern transportation. RUTHIE GALVIN and JOE MENARD, hap- py in heaven, left the Buick to Bette Liberatore and Hal Fuller and would like to borrow it. BILL SWENSON and JERRY McCARTE are throwing a party — Jerry needs his little black book and Bill his rainbow colored truck. JIMMY GANCI and DICK PELISSEY, coaches of the Pearly Gate Sports League, are returning to sign a contract with Bob Perry and Freddie Thompson that they might get back some of the sports ability they willed to them. Our angel, CYN HAWKINS, has found hea- ven fitting, but returns to take Joe back with her. BOB MOORE, St. Peter ' s stand-in, and DICK YOUNG come back for their cars to take one more ride to North Attleboro. JIM BURCH and DICK QUINTIN sneak in the back door to get their forged passes from the underclassmen. VI HOGBERG is not complete without her blushes and asks Dick Fournier to give back her well-known trait. LOIS SALLEY, our little packaga of mis- chief, returns to the corridors of A. H. S. to re- capture her cute ways. JUNE WALLENTHIN with Bill comes down from their cloud to get the happy memories left at A. H. S. JOHN FERNANDES, who is giving a con- cert Beethoven, asks permission to borrow the piano from the auditorium. ALICE LEFEBVRE and DICK FARRELL, famished because of a food shortage, hurry back to explore Dick ' s locker in hopes of finding that half a sandwich. JUNE CARLSON and JANET HESKETH have giggled themselves back to high school. They ask for their merry ways from Essie Lun- din and Joan Carney. JOAN GARIEPY and BEV TRAINOR come back to occupy their favorite booth in Bobby ' s , which they willed to Dot Colvin and Anna Fitzpatrick. LARRY COOPER slips down from Heaven to pick-up HAZELLE LAMOUREUX, who came back to give another one of her moving per- formances. MARY VAUGHAN, NANCY TERHUNE, JEAN TRAINOR, and EILEEN HYDE return for their pajamas that they willed to Pauline ' s slumber party. Because of a personality contest ELLA FLEMING rushes back to get some of the per- sonality she left Dolly Anderson. GLORIA DE LA FEUILLIEZ and MAR- GUERITE DELUDE ride down on their new typewriters to recapture their old ones that they had left in the typing room. ROBERT FARRINGTON and RAY GAUTH- lER saunter down to the band bus to take back their old seats which they had bequeathed to Roger Adams and Robert Boydon. LORRAINE FONTNEAU shyly d escends from heaven to retrieve her quiet personality and her studious ways. AUDREY FRANCIS has run out of curlers so hurries down to take them back from Terry Coutu. PETER GAVLICK jogs back to earth to take over his little car he left sitting in front of the school.

Realizing that our finances were in a state of near-collapse, the Junior Dance Committee, together with the class officers, put on the never-to-be-forgotten Under the Big Top, which was a complete success, not only finan- cially, but also, socially. The football and basketball teams pros- pered as a result of the Junior additions to the teams; Jed McCarte, Dick Pelissey, Pudgy Inman, Bob Moore, Norm Anderson, Jim Gan- ci. Bunny Randall, and Larry Cooper helped fortify the football team, while Boogie Os- trander, and Carl Weeman were holding their own on the court. Our famous battery of Ostrander and Pelissey was a credit to the baseball team. The girls ' basketball team had an unde- feated season with the help of our Juniors. Ruth Galvin, Eunice Anderson, Jackie Moss- berg, Violet Hogberg, Butch Coleman, and Arlene Bell. This year fifteen of our high ranking Juniors were initiated into the National Honor Society as active members. We now had three years to our credit. We bid farewell to our Junior year with a little remorse, but with enthusiasm for the year that was yet to come, our last and best. SENIOR CLASS Tho ' we as acorns were quite small, We came, we saw, we conquered all. Was it a dream, or were we really Seniors after three long years of waiting. ' We were proud to be the most important class in the school, but we realized that we must always be a good example to the underclassmen, a realization we have tried to carry into action. This was our last chance at politics. We rounded off our high school career by choos- ing Sheldon Smith, President; Robert O ' Don- nell, Vice-President; Howard O ' Hare, Secre- tary; and Beverly Schofield, custodian of our ever-increasing finances. With a committee consisting of these, our class officers, and the defeated candidates, we put on a truly dreamy dance, Heavenly Haven. Can anyone forget the heavenly jury which passed judgment on our excellent entertainment. ' As usual the football team was excellent. Norman Anderson, Buddy Cooper, Bunny Randall, Dick Pelissey, Jim Ganci, Bob Moore, and Jed McCarte, ably assisted by other mem- bers of the team, led the fray against North as we overthrew the Rocketeers by more than forty-points. The basketball team, headed by Carl Wee- man, and Boogie Ostrander, had a successful season. The girls ' basketball team had a very suc- cessful season with the help of Jackie Moss- berg, Eunice Anderson, Violet Hogberg, and Arlene Bell. Our Senior Prom, one of the best ever held at A. H. S., transported the happy throng to Winter Wonderland. Helen Guillette, our D. A. R. good citizen, who won Honorable M ention in the Westing- house National Science Talent Search, was class Valedictorian, and Eunice Anderson was Salutatorian. As the doors of A. H. S. close behind us, may we keep foremost in our thoughts that In Ourselves Our future hies.
