He had found the treasure hoard the forty thieves had amassed over a period of many years. It has been said that in the deep forests of Persia a vast treasure is kept in a dark, mysterious cave. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and gold have been hid- den in this gloomy cavern for thousands of years. Six years ago, as we entered the doors of Barnstable High School, we all knew the story of Ali Baba and his experience with the forty thieves who guarded the treasure cave. The riches of a thousand centuries had been his when he spoke the magic words which opened the door of the cave. We were eager to re- ceive our share of all this treasure, but we were somewhat uncertain of what lay ahead. In September, 1952, we cautiously approached the door of the cave and timidly spoke the fateful words, Open Sesame! The door opened, and we were amazed by the vast treasure which we found inside. The older students had been taking the treasures of knowledge and good times for a long time, but we had to be content with our share. We were allowed to join only the band and orchestra. In the eighth grade we organized our own den, the '58 Club. Our advisor was Mr. james Sykes, and under his direction we put on the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This was our first raid, and we were com- mended for such clever work. Five members of our class were chosen as junior cheerleaders. They were Carolyn Hallett, Carolyn Murphy, Gail Phillips, Velma Robinson, and Lee Shields. The next year, because of the promise we had shown in the past, we were permitted to choose our courses, join the Traffic Squad and junior Varsity teams, and take the Iowa tests. Our class officers were Mark Niles, president, Deborah Bearse, vice- .ly 4 -Q c

president, Beverly Skende, secretary, and Judith Soares, treasurer. Mr. Charles Howes was our advisor, and with his help we put on the Freshman Frolic. We also chose Carolyn Murphy and Peter Field as Ship's Belle and Ship's Buoy. We ended the year with a picnic at Sandy Neck. When we entered the tenth grade, we were finally accepted as part of the senior high. Mr. W. Leo Shields was our advisor, and our class officers were Peter Field, president, Carolyn Murphy, vice-presi- dent, Beverly Skende, secretary, and Judith Soares, treasurer. Sophomore Class members in the Student Council were Carolyn Murphy and Barry Crawford. That year the National Honor Society had five sophomore members. They were Barbara DeMoran- ville, Leslie Haskins, Charleen Johnson, Patricia Johnson, and Beverly Skende. Five members of our class played Varsity Football for the first time. During the year the Key Club and the Chess Club were formed. Two of our class projects were the Christmas Frolic, and a cake sale. Saint Patrick's Day was the theme of the Sophomore Hop, ruled by our king and queen, Barry Crawford and Carolyn Mur- phy. Carolyn was once again chosen as Ship's Belle In our junior year, one of the most thrilling ex- periences of all was the day we received our class rings. Our class officers were Peter Field, president, Donald Richards, vice president, Beverly Skende, secretary, and Judith Soares, treasurer. We elected Carolyn Murphy, Barry Crawford, and Jayne Hayden to the Student Council. The three juniors who were inducted into the National Honor Society were Marcia Vieira, Daniel Leach, and Irwin Rovner. The biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom. The auditorium was decorated beautifully to carry out our theme Shades of Rhythm. Music was by Bob Adams' orchestra. Our queen was Carolyn Mur- phy. She was attended by Carolyn Hallet, Velma Robinson, Lee Shields, and Beverly Skende. The committee chairmen were Anne Cross and Paul White, decorations, Dennis Bisbee and Velma Robinson, tick- ets, Josephine Riedell and Judith Carlson, refresh- ments, Jayne Hayden and Elizabeth Woodland, post- ers, and Patricia Crosby and Carolyn Hallett, or- chestra. Robert Lebel and John Ireland were elected to Boys' State, while Charleen Johnson was chosen to attend Girls' State. Since Charleen was unable to attend, she was replaced by Beverly Skende. Other projects included our dance, Stranded in the Jungle, and a cake sale which we sponsored at the end of the year. Alice Howes was chosen as Ship's Belle that year. In June, Donald Richards was elected president of the Key Club. Irwin Rovner was appointed as Chief Marshal of the Traffic Squad at the end of the year. His 'Floor Marshals were Deborah Bearse, Barbara DeMoranville, and Peter Field. Our junior year was saddened by the death of one of our most beloved teachers, Miss M. Charlotte Mahoney. So great was Miss Mahoney's influence over all of us that we chose the quotation that so closely paralleled her own life as our class motto the following year. I shall pass through this world but once. If there- fore there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again. September 5, 1957 was a memorable day for every- one, especially our class, for we had moved to the new high school, and now we were on top. There were new activities, too. The French Club, under the supervision of Miss Amelia Leconte, was formed, and the Pep Squad, with Mr. Franklin Converse as advisor, was organized to promote school spirit. The Raid-ius, written by the members of the new journal- ism class taught by Mrs. Catherine Towey, appeared weekly in the Barnstable Patriot. In order to raise money we sold football programs book covers, pins, and shakers, ran the football con- cession at home games, and conducted a magazine campaign under the direction of Miss M. Louise Hayden. The class also sponsored the first dance held in the new school, the Inaugural Ball. Our class officers were Peter Field, president, Robert Lebel, vice president, Beverly Skende, secre- tary, and Judith Soares, treasurer. Student Council members included Jayne Hayden, Anne Cross, Alice Howes, and Michael McDonough. The class elected Irwin Rovner as editor-in-chief of the Bamacle and Barbara DeMoranvil1e as assistant editor. The Platter Party on WOCB was conducted by Anne Cross, Jayne Hayden, Carolyn Murphy, Bruce Childs and Paul White. Now that we have absorbed the riches which were ours for the taking, we are forced to find new treasure elsewhere. We must strive to increase our knowledge at college, at work, or in married life as the door closes behind us. Leslie Haskins Nancy Hall Gail Phillips 2
