On April 26, 1961, the senior class held its an- nual banquet at the New Brunswick Hotel. The repast consisted of many tantalizing tid- bits and delicacies which fitted the “table d’hote” of the most demanding connoisseur. After the sumptuous ambrosia, the “men” were entertained by an array of brilliant speak- ers, who talked the night away in a very pleasing fashion. The festive occasion came to an early close, so that the “men” could find their way, none too unerringly . . . home? Chairman Frank Alberti and his committee sincerely thank Mr. Hopkinson for his expert ad- vice. The Class Banquet was indeed a joyous event.

After the dancing was over, most of the couples adjourned to two fa- mous haunts frequented by Latinites — “The South Seas and “Joe and Nemo’s.” Thanks to Chairman Paul Barringer and his hard-working (?) committee, this year’s Victory Dance was a complete success. The sensational upset victory over our arch-rival Boston English on Thanksgiving Day gave good cause to cele- brate. During the evening. Coach Lambert and MID-WINTER PROM music throughout the evening. At the conclusion of a minuet of the light fantastique, the floor was emptied in favor of an adjournment to some of the wilder night-spots of Boston. So ended, or started, a superb night of merriment. Through the efforts of Captains Paul Connelly and “Butch” Chardavoyne, and much to the de- light of the team members, the Mid-Winter Prom turned out to be a real swinging affair.

HEAVEN ON EARTH Only now do we dare tell the plight of room 302, a room plagued with five all too helpful mas- ters trying in some way or another to get us into some college. We begin our weekly wanderings in room 302 where our history master can honestly (?) say that we are his best Class One. After our history and morals lessons we depart to room 312 where we delve in the mysteries of the physical sciences in a period filled with an open desire for learning. Presently, we scamper down to room 234, zeal- ously wondering whether Aeneas has found his way home dodging Tmesis, Hendiadys, Epithet and other such monsters. From the lost tongue of Latin we come to another lost language — English. In 211 we practice this new language in a book that is almost as sacred as the P I ; the Senior Manter Hall. With this and many other remedies the Doctor tries, to no avail, to rid us of a dreaded disease, ignorance. We now trudge to room 318 for our daily fire, explosion, and quiz with a gen- tleman who is continuously excusing us from school for the rest of the week and giving us the answer to question seven in the next day’s quiz. And so we, the boys of 302 wish to thank all our teachers for what they are doing to get us into the college of our choice and especially Mr. Murphy, who endeavors to help us graduate not only as intelligent young men, but also as gentle- man.
