Class History FRESHMAN YEAR The freshman year brings back a few memories. We started off our freshman year with a large class, but during the year some of the students dropped out or moved away to other towns. To become real freshmen, we had to be initiated into the high school. We wore funny-looking clothes and had a party after the initiation. After we got to know each other better, we had our first class meeting. Mr. Whalen was our class advisor, and we elected the following people for officers: president, Konrad Hooker; vice-president, Barbara Platt; secretary, Lorraine Mosher; treasurer, Linda Aines, and Student Council representative, Robert Bassett. For school activities we had a Hallowe’en party and a Christmas party. For money-making activities we had several card parties and food sales. SOPHOMORE YEAR Our sophomore year was a lot of fun. We started our sophomore year with $145 00 in the treasury. With Miss Crosby as our class advisor we elected the following people for class officers: president, Linda Ames; vice- president, Jackie Maroney; secretary, Monica Cook; treasurer, Jane Mohan; Student Council representative, Bill LaRoque. At Christmas time we had a party and exchanged gifts. On Valentine’s Day we had a big Valentine box and traded Valentines. In May we ordered our class rings and could not wait until we became juniors so we could wear them. We had several food sales for money-making activities which were success- ful. JUNIOR YEAR When we became juniors we were happy, as we weren’t looked on as underclassmen anymore. We started our money worries all over again. If we didn’t make much money this year it meant that in our senior year we would have to work harder to raise money to go on our class trip. With Miss Kelley as our class advisor we elected the following for our class officers: president, Carlisle Geldert; vice-president, Jimmy Steele; secretary, Anna Bryant; treasurer, Mary Nickerson; Student Council representative, Bill Moffatt. We had several things to do to raise money. One was our class play, “We Shook The Family Tree.’’ Students tried out for parts and under our directors, Miss Kelley and Mr. Chase, we practiced ana put it on as a success. We also sold school banners and emblems, put on a hot dish supper and had several food sales. Gail Dick, Marg McDonell, and Mary Nickerson presented Junior Gifts to the members of the graduating class on Class Day.

SENIOR YEAR Being seniors meant a lot of hard work. We were short a little money, so we had to plan and work hard to put on more activities. We worried over getting out our year book and going on our class trip. In the middle of the year we ordered our calling cards, invitations, and our gowns. With Miss Force as our class advisor we elected the following people as officers: president, Gail Dick (who came to us in her junior year from Flushing, N. Y.); vice- president, Jane Mohan; secretary, Bill LaRoque; treasurer, Carlisle Geldert; Student Council representative, Bill Moffatt. For our class play we pre- sented “Harvey,” a three-act comedy, which made $197.00. We sold Christmas Cards, put on food sales, sold candy, sandwiches, and milk at the Senior Store. With the help of Mr. Condiet we put on a Senior Jamboree which was very successful. We went to New York City on our class trip. Some of us went to baseball games and plays, and we all went on a tour around Manhattan. We had a wonderful time but most of us were glad to get back home. Our chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Bechtold, Miss Kelley and Mr. Fay. Class Color: Blue and White Class Flower: Red Rose Class Motto: Our Future Is Not in Success, But in Ourselves.
