After elections, one could sense a great deal of excitement among the pupils of the Junior Class. That's right, it was the unforgettable event in a Junior's life, the Junior Prom. On that night, April 27, 1952, the students danced to the music of A1 and Irving Rosen's orchestra, in the beautifully decorated auditorium of Colt Memorial High School. All too soon the night was over, and we were left with sweet memories which will always linger in our minds. On May 20, 1952, we were measured for class rings which we were to receive in November of our senior year. Soon we were busy studying for our final examinations, and then came our summer vacation, our last one from Colt. September, again. How times goes! Two short years ago, we were Sophomores and now here we are dignified seniors, beginning our final year of high school. For the last time we elected officers. President................JOSEPH SlLVElRA Treasurer.......Martin A. WlTHERELL Vice-President.............Robert Caizzi Secretary..............Helen Oliveira To serve on the Executive Board, the following were chosen: Pauline Voccio, Barbara Maisano, Robert Velleca. Alvin Edler, and John Paul Andrade. Many exciting days were ahead of us for on November 18, 1952, we received our class rings and made sure everyone saw them by flashing them in the pupils faces. On Novemebr 20th and 21st, the class posed for individual and group pictures. A week later we received our proofs, and we had a chance to select the best, and on December 23, 1952, the class received their photographs. In January the pupils that have been chosen for the various parts of Annie Get Your Gun started rehearsals and were kept busy every afternoon. But, these rehearsals were a lot of fun once the chorus joined the ranks of actors. The play was enjoyed by both the pupils and the public. The last week of January the seniors all became serious. Why? Because mid-year examinations were on the way. Of course some of the students took them in their usual light-hearted manner, while others burned the midnight oil. There was just one sigh of relief when the examinations were over. The nex: important event in the school year was the Junior Projn which several of the seniors attended. Before we knew it—final exams! With graduation exercises following the next week. First, there was Class Day. That's the day when the seniors lean back, relax, and make known the foibles of their classmates. That evening the class banquet was held in the Colt Memorial Auditorium. A turkey dinner was served by caterers from Providence. The pupils enjoyed the dance which followed, and 11:30 arrived all too soon. On Thursday night, the big moment arrived. That moment toward which we had been working—graduation. How beautiful the girls looked in their white gowns and the dainty colonial bouquets which they carried. The boys, too, were just as handsome in their white jackets and dark trousers. What a queer feeling arose in our throats when we sang the Alma Mater and realized that once we walked back down that aisle in Andrews, we would no longer be seniors but members of the Alumni. On Friday night, our last dance—the reception was held. How beautiful everyone looked and how we enjoyed the dance; as all good things have to come to an end, so did this dance. With a faint sigh we left the beautiful Colt Memorial Auditorium, as the curtain fell on the last act of the life of the pupils of the Class of 1953. Helen Oliveira 12cl.
