16 ARROWHEAD 1946 GEASS a inieii@kRas In September of 1940 the class of ‘46’ (now with some additions) entered the seventh grade of the junior high school. With the aid of Mr. Timothy Higgins, who was in charge of our home room, we became acquainted with the new rules and the new way in which our school day was to be conducted. We quickly learned how to march along the corridors between classes, and we will admit that some of us closely resem- bled tin soldiers. Going into new classrooms for another class which was conducted by a different teacher was all new to us. Miss Winifred B. Andrews must certainly be cred- ited with her ability to discipline ambitious pupils and to have all homework passed in on the day it was due. We elected officers but our activities as a class that year were few as we were just beginners. We tried to put our famous “‘strike’’ into effect in 1941 and this will surely occupy our memories for a long time. The ‘strike,’ as it was called, involved all of the girls in our class who decided that they had been working too hard in a certain study period. (Their attempts to carry out a long ‘‘strike’’ failed.) Miss Andrews, who was in charge of our home room while we were freshmen, pre- pared us for our senior high school life. We received our diplomas without ceremony and became sophomores.

1946 ARROWHEAD Mgh Our class could now hold dances so that we could save enough money for future activities. We had a wonderful time at our outing at Revere with Miss Boutillette and Mr. Smith, our chaperones. That year Ernest Swanson and Edward O’Mahony became members of the basketball team. Our class officers were as follows: president, Kenneth Miller; vice president, Joan Reed; secretary, Gloria Harris; and treasurer, Thomas Lusk. During our junior year everyone was looking forward to the date of our graduation. Lillian Kelly succeeded in being on the first team of girls’ basketball, and was very suc- cessful. This year Joan Reed became the second girl in our class to be on the girls’ bas- ketball team. We celebrated the closing of that year by a trip to Nantasket with Mr. Mead and Miss Chiesa chaperoning. Our class officers were: president, Donald Croteau; vice presi- dent, Harry Peterson; secretary, Audrey Crockett; and treasurer, William Sheerin. The last year of our school days is now coming to a close. Our officers during our senior year are: president, Harry Peterson; vice president, Joan Reed; secretary,Audrey Crockett; and treasurer, Irving McLaughlin. Two new students came to our school in the eleventh grade, Helen Seminatore and Irving McLaughin. We all hope that we will be as successful in the future as we have been in the past.
