The first few weeks were uneventful. Then came the task of electing officers. Elected to represent our class were: President, Raymond Sousa; Vice President, John Matheson; Secretary, Nancy DuPont; Treasurer, Joseph Travers. Days went by quickly, more quickly than we had realized for now midyears were here. Then came the big day, May 29th, the Sophomore Hop, a dance sponsored by the Sophomore Class. 1 remember how beautiful the auditorium looked, decked in our class colors of red and gold. The month following the dance went by quickly, bringing with it the final examinations. Then came our well-earned summer vacation. All good things must come to an end and so did our vacation. September found us mighty juniors, not the shy sophomores of the previous year. And again we elected officers: President, John Matheson; Vice President, Raymond Sousa; Secretary, Jessica Castigliego; Treasurer, Joseph Travers. Elected to the executive committee were: Theresa Aronne, Norman Pigeon, Ann Marie Nunes, Thomas Murray, Paul Vona and I, Margaret Lewis. We resumed our regular studies, attended dances and football games. Everything ran smoothly until the month of Februaiy. Then the commotion started. While walking through the corridors all that could be heard was, Have you been asked yet? or, Who are you going to ask? Yes, you guessed right — the Junior Prom. Finally the night came, April 17th. Oh, what a beautiful sight, the girls in their colorful gowns and the boys in their white jackets. We danced to the music of A1 and Irving Rosen's orchestra in the beautifully decorated auditorium. Twelve o'clock arrived all too soon, the Prom was over. But the memories of that joyful evening will always linger in our minds. We then left for our last vacation from Colt. We returned to school as sophisticated seniors and shortly after, class elections were held: President, Manuel Marshall; Vice President, John Matheson; Treasurer, Joseph Travers; and I, Margaret Lewis, Secretary. Elected to the executive committee were: Raymond Sousa, Thomas Murray, Joseph Cavallaro, Ann Marie Nunes and Dolores Ferreira. Then in October, They finally arrived. That is, our class rings. You could always spot a senior when you saw the flash of That gold ring. Days passed quickly and on December 7th and 8th, Mr. Van Dale very patiently instructed us as to our poses for class pictures. In January the pupils that were chosen for the parts in the class play, Brother Goose,” started rehearsals under the capable assistance of Mrs. Donovan. The play was very successful. Then we started practicing for the operetta, Meet Me In St. Louis,” with much enthusiasm. Again — Mrs. Donovan produced a hit. Before we knew it Class Day, June 23rd 1954, was upon us and we were sitting on the platform listening to the Will, Prophecy, and History. That same night our banquet was held. What appetites those boys had! I never saw so much food disappear so quickly. The big moment arrived — Graduation. How beautiful the girls looked in their white gowns and the boys, too, were just as handsome in their white jackets and dark trousers. But behind all this there was a feeling of regret as we sang our Alma Mater and realized that we would no longer be students, but members of the Alumni. Our last dance, the Senior Reception, was held Friday. This would be the last time our class would meet as a group. Suddenly there was a flash of light and a thunderous crash. As I awoke, I found myself lying on the beach and I realized that this had only been a dream. 13 Margaret Lewis
