Jean Watts represented our school at Girl's State and Victor Skende and Wil- liam Thompson represented us at Boy's State. The American Legion sponsored a pub- lic-speaking contest. Mr. Groves' English class took part in this contest by writing themes. The themes by Jeanette Verkade, John Anderson, and Walter Jacobson were chosen as the best. John Anderson won in an assembly for the senior high. Senior Year: Finally the year had come when the wheel would turn for the last time. As seniors we have a great deal more re- sponsibility and work. We started the year with-a membership of 96. We elected our oilicers for this all important year: Richard White, president, John Germani, vice president, Regina Martin, secretary, and Jean Watts, treasurer. Elected to the Student Council was Edward Crosby. Jac- quelyn Howe became president of the Council. Our major concern in the fall was class pictures which were taken by Purdy. George McLean was in charge. A special day was set aside for sittings, and everyone was dressed in his best for this long awaited occasion. Some of our money-making projects were: the hot dog and cold tonic stands at the football games, selling Christmas cards, and the continuation of the project of the preceding year, selling candy in the cafeteria after school. Nancy Cross headed the committee of the food concession at the games, Regina Martin was chairman of the cards, and Victor Skende and Marcia Hull took care of the candy sales. Fi' Classmates not to be forgotten are' Robert Leemen, who won first prize in a cattle contest, Connie Carver, who was the representative from Barnstable High for Cranberry Queen, Nancy Shepard, who did a wonderful job as a member of the Press Bureau, and Victor Skende, who was Junior Rotarian from Barnstable High and attended the meetings of the Hyannis Rotary Club. Good Government Day was held in Boston at the State House. Edward Crosby was elected by his fellow students to represent Barnstable High School there. The most important activity as seniors has been the editing of the yearbook, the BARNACLE. Victor Skende, editor-in- chief, with the help of Mrs. Patricia Ruth Davis, the literary advisor, and Mrs. Blanche Waldman, the advertising ad- visor, did a wonderful job. Other mem- bers of the staff were George McLean, Janice Kelly, Joan Kittila, Barbara Cog- geshall, Marcia Hull, Harriet Mason, Bev- erly Howes, Judy Mulvey, Richard White, Jacquelyn Howe, Faith Cummings, Wil- liam Thompson, John Germani, Char- lotte Riedell, Sandra Parker, Barbara White, Jane Libby, Lillian Lorrett, Jean Watts, and Delores Nelson. We the class of 54 , wish to thank Mr. John J. Kilcoyne, our class advisor, for the guidance and aid he has offered us and for keeping us in line. We have all had six wonderful years at Barnstable High, but as all things come to an end, so must they. May there be a lot more pleasant years ahead of us. Charlotte Riedell, Class Historian
