GUu tJliAtosuf, In 1946, thirty-five wee green freshmen sneaked into the doors of Bran- don High School. The Freshman Reception was a hilarious and exciting event for the thirty-five freshmen. We held our election late in the year, which gave us time to get acquainted with one another. As class offficers, we elected Randell Hallett, president; Claude Griffin, vice president; Bar- bara Willette, secretary; Betty Williams, treasurer. For class activities we started “Teen Town,” which consisted of danc- ing, all kinds of games, and refreshments. It was fun for every-one and a good way to meet the upperclassmen. We entered “The Monkey’s Paw” in the one act play contest. The actors and actresses were Barbara Willette, Randell Hallett, Helene Scott, and Jerry Rockwell. In our sophomore year we elected Barbara Willette, president; Randell Hallett, vice president; Agnes Mahoney, secretary; and Harriet Nicholson, treasurer. We had a few record dances, which provided fun for everyone, and a hayride. Our biggest hit that year was when we entered the one act play contest with “Orville’s Big Date” and won honorable mention. The cast included Barbara Jennings, Marjorie McDonough, Kathryn Brown, and Ran- dell Hallett. It was under the direction of Wallace Goodnow. In our junior year we elected Jerry Rockwell, president; Roger LaRock, vice president; Arlene Hewey, secretary; and Kathryn Brown, treasurer. We entered the play contest with “Johnny Goes Haywire,” under the direction of Barbara Goodnow. The cast included Marjorie McDonough, Kathryn Brown, Norma Dunshee, Chester Kupfer, and Donald Jennings. We also gave a food sale and a few dances including a “Junior Prom” The Prom wasn’t a money-majking activity but it was a lot of fun. In our senior year we elected Harriet Nicholson, president; Jerry Rock- well, vice president; Arlene Hewey, secretary; and Allen Ross, treasurer. Starting out the year with approximately $20. we went on a real money- raising campaign, which consisted of food sales, card parties, a plastic party, selling tags and schedules at the basketball games, and presenting a well-known stage production, “Arsenic and Old Lace,” which was well recei- ved by a capacity audience. After the play all Seniors and their friends and teachers were invited to Mr. Mrs. Thomas Maroney’s house for a party, which was enjoyed by everyone. We had a Senior Jamboree which consisted of basketball and volley ball. In the basketball game the boys, dressed as the opposite sex, played with one hand tied behind them. Mr. Hoyt was referee, and proved very funny. In volley ball, the boys were dressed in their usual attire and thus won the game. Mr. Manning was the referee. Ail the money we worked for went into a trip to New York City during our April vacatiion under the direction of “Arnold Tours.” We visited the R.C.A. roof, followed by a show at the Roxy Theater, the Statue of Liberty, a show at the Music Hall with stage presentations by the Rockettes, Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe, NBC Studio Tour, and one afternoon free, in which we could look around on our own or see a baseball game. We shall always remember the four happy years we spent in this school under the supervision and guidance of our principal and other members of the faculty. Some of us will be going on to school. Others will go into the field of business, as several of our classmate pioneers have already had the opportunity of doing, as part of their class work this year. Wherever we are in the future, we know t.h»t our interest in one another and in Brandon High School itself will never fade. Respectfully submitted, Marjorie McDonough Muriel Munger
