SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS j President, Dana Ricker, Vice-Pres., Pat Crowley, Secretary, Mary Sweeney, Treasurer, Nancy Cameron. Class Advisor Class Advisor Mr. Sumner Allen Mr. Charles Lindberg .dn HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '65 As we now reflect our high school years, we realize how eventful they have been. We began those past four busy years in September of I96l as the under- privileged and overpowered frosh . Our first im- portant task was to choose our class leaders. For that first slate of officers we chose Dana Ricker, presi- dent, Eileen Clinton, vice-president, Beth Moreland, secretary, and Steve Owens, treasurer. Also elected to represent our class were student council members Peter Feliceamgeli, Connie Poff, and Linda Scott. Guided by this responsible leadership and that of Mr. Clifford Wilbur, our class advisor, our first class proj- ect, a magazine drive, proved to be very prosperous. The much welcomed funds raised by this project estab- lished a substantial treasury which we could draw from for the many class affairs in the years to follow. In September of '62, although still underclassmen, we took on somewhat more self confidence as second year veterans. Once again we elected our class offi- cers: Bill Ehmann, president, Mary Sweeney, vice-pres- ident, Nancy Yates, secretary, and Kathie Burns, treasurer. Student council members were Mal Kiniry, Pat Crowley, Kathie Burns, and Gary Shoemaker. We soon found ourselves busy planning our sophomore Halloween dance, the Sophomore Spook. With the assistance of Mr. James Hamlen, our class advisor, we chose committees which worked diligently to make the dance a success. As juniors in the year '63 we proudly assumed the title upperclassmen . With this new feeling of pres- tige we began a year marked with many memorable occasions. This time the leaders of our class were Bill Ehmann, president, Mike Cahoon, vice president, An- gela Prete, secretary, and Anne Goulart, treasurer. Chosen as student council representatives were Mal Kiniry, Pat Crowley, Dana Ricker, Kathie Burns, and Myra Kullowatz. Soon we were seen in the corridors proudly flashing our newly received class rings. Add- ing further excitement early in the year was the Pow- der Puff football game, which, much to our dismay, saw the seniors emerge victorious. On November 22, l963, we learned, with sadness, the shocking and tragic news of the death of our President, John F. Kennedy. This news left us with a feeling of empti- ness, we knew we had lost a great man. Late in January we focused our minds on happier thoughts -plans for the junior prom. Committees were elected and the theme Oriental Gardens was chosen. Under the supervision of Anne Goulart, our diligent chair- man, sweatshirt clad students changed the gym slowly but surely into an exotic wonderland. Crowned as queen on the lodis-blossom-shaped throne was Mary Sweeney, attended by her lovely court. At the close of our junior year we watched the class of '64 grad- uate, led by our Class Marshals, Romi Stark and Mary Sweeney. With mixed emotions we realized that we were next. Entering the familiar halls for what was to be our last year, we were determined to make it our best year. Little did we know how successful we would bel We elected to our last slate of officers Dana Ricker, president, Pat Crowley, vice-president, Mary Sweeney, secretary, and Nancy Cameron, treasurer. Student council members were Mal Kiniry, president, Pat Crowley, vice-president, Dana Ricker, Mo Tibble, and Sandy Parker. Once again everyone shared the excite- ment of the Powder Puff football game which this time proved more in our favor as our class emerged the winner. Another triumph was winning the title Most School Spirited Class in a contest sponsored by the cheerleaders. Our opportunity to employ this enthusiasm came in the pre-Thanksgiving Day game activities - the traditional pep rally and bon fire. These spirit boosters proved worthwhile when the impressive victory over Wareham by our undefeated football team made that Turkey Day one we will never forget. To complete the traditional Thanksgiv- ing Day games festivities, the Honor Society spon- sored the Homecoming Dance. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the lovely queen, Nancy Yates, by football co-captain Jeff Futch. As our high school years neared an end several senior celebrations made those last weeks ones to re- member. On graduation night, with feelings of joy as well as sadness, we marched to Pomp and Circum- stance still unable and somewhat unwilling to be- lieve it was over .
