CLASS HISTORY Our past four years have gained a definite place in our memories. We entered high school in 1956 facing our new experiences with mixed feelings. During our freshman year we elected Maurice Rancourt as our president. Initia- tions to many facets of high school life both scholastic and social filled those days. ln our second year, our officers were Edward Pendergast, president5 Michael Marra, vice president5 Barbara Murphy, secretaryg and Carole Hayes treasurer. This slate of officers led us through a busy and profitable year during which we held a successful car wash, and Junior Prom, and also took the prize for the winning class play. Our junior year with Kathleen Hogan, president5 Bernard LaDue, vice president5 Barbara Murphy, secretary5 and Carole Hayes, treasurer, found us purchasing our class rings, sponsoring the Senior Ball, and making plans for our yearbook. Activity marked our final year. We completed our yearbook and prepared the many graduation arrangements. Leading us in these projects were: Kathleen Hogan, president5 Bernard LaDue, vice president5 Kathleen Dermody, secretary5 and Dennis Daigneault, treasurer. We are now awaiting that day in J une, the termination of our high school years, Graduation Day. 37
