T II Ii S A M P L E R CLASS HISTORY 13 Soon we, the class of 1936, will be taking leave of the sheltering walls of our cherished Alina Mater. As we look hack over a short period of four years to the time when we entered Bellows Falls High as Freshmen, we are reminded of a great many happy moments. Time passed swiftly with hockey, football, dances, and other extra curricula activities and with simple, every-day labor under our patient teachers. Before discussing High School days in detail, however, let us go back a few years further into those “good old” grammar school days. Eddie Miner started off to the first grade in Cuba, with a bright shining face, and prob- ably with a brand new hair ribbon! But he found one year in Cuba sufficient, and the next fall he embarked on the long journey north to Bellows Falls, arriving at the Atkin- son Street School just in time to enroll as one of its members. The first four years of Nancy Faris’ grammar school life were spent in the sunny south in various “little brick School- houses”. The first year she attended school at Brewster, Florida, second and third at Auburndale, and fourth at a training school. Rock Hill, South Carolina. Her adventures in the south preceded two years' grammar school and six in High at Bellows Falls. If we survey the Seniors of 1936 indi- vidually, we find that many of them were originally from cities and towns outside of Vermont. Jimmie Ferguson spent his first year in a Pittston, Pennsylvania, school, where he probably got lost in the mob the first few days. One year of that school was enough, so next he came to Putney, working gradually up to Bellows Falls. Mildred Cabell entered Bellows Falls High a year ago, after ten years in Passaic Collegiate School in New Jersey. Virginia Denham attended various and sun- dry Massachusetts schools before arriving here September, the last. Gridley Bryant Grammar, South Quincy Junior High, and Lexington Junior High are only a few of those Massachusetts institutions of learning. However good Massachusetts schools may be, Clifford Holmes no doubt thinks New Hamp- shire schools are just about as good, for he went eight years to Langdon Center Grammar. Highest honors were carried away from the Saxtons River school by Phyllis Frey, and second highest by Ellen Stearns. By bringing the Saxton River “ites” to Bellows Falls, the “Silver Streak” plays quite an important part in High School life. Other towns con- tributing students to our class are Westmin- ster, Bartonsville, North Walpole, Bellows Falls, and Athens. Now let us open the door of High School, and step inside to catch a fleeting glance of the activities within. Probably the old saying of “ Ignorance is bliss” held true for us as Freshmen; at least we were happy and contented in our new surroundings. The officers chosen for the year were President, .John Andosca; Vice- President, Joe Massucco; Secretary, Geral- dine Lorange; and Treasurer, Billy Barry. Though business this season was not very pressing, each officer received a due share of experience in handling class affairs. As Sophomores, our standing was elevated considerably, since we occupied the third floor of the building! That year’s social events were mostly negative quantities, though we did elect class officers—President, Clarence Harlow; Vice-President, Beatrice Parker; Secretary, Jean Edwards; Treasurer, Eddie Kane. In the Junior year, a new system of electing officers was introduced, quite an improvement over the old system of election without much forethought. Every one in the class wishing to be a candidate for an office circulated a petition on which was indicated the name of his party and what he intended to accomplish if elected. Clarence Harlow, Clifford Holmes, Peggy Porter, and Eddie Kane received the largest number of votes for the respective offices of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. This was the grand year of our Junior Prom, which we remember so well for its success as a social function, and also for the empty state in which it left the class treasury! The deficit was readily made up by a small assessment of each member of the class. Later on, a Pie Prom was held for the especial benefit of the Latin Club. In June, we held the responsibility of graduation ex- ercises and the Senior Hop. This final event was a huge success. This, our Senior year, has been fully as busy and as interesting as any of the four. The Senior Bazaar and plays, “Where the Cross is Made”, and “Spreading the News”, took place the evening before Thanksgiving. For the Bazaar, the gymnasium was beautifully decorated in blue and white, patterned in snow scenes with skiers enjoying long, frosty, cross-country rides. A little later in the win- ter, the Dramatics Club presented “Growing Pains”, which attracted a great deal of fav-
