ooooooooeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o19o oBoHoSo o36o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SENIOR CLASS HISTORY President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . Faculty Advisor . As we look back over the history of our four years at Burrillville High, we note some of the chief landmarks that have marked our path of progress, some recorded others un- recorded. Here we shall attempt to present the chief facts of which we boast and to show how we managed to triumph over obstacles, to climb step by step up the ladder of achievement. Beginning with the Old Stone Age, as Freshmen, we spent most of our time in building a strong intellectual foundation, upon which our future depended. Knowing too, that extra-curricula work was carried on in our midst, we elected a capable board of officers, namely: President, Rita Charetteg Vice-President, Cecile Lariviereg Secretary, Rosamond Quinng and Treasurer, Thomas Berk, so that we too would be organized to participate in school activities. We held a New Year's Party and took the school by storm with the talent we exemplified in the entertainment we provided. The com- mittee planned the affair very carefully and it certainly was a success. We further proved ourselves successful in our scholar- ship, since one of our members, Cecile Lariviere, led the entire school on the rank list for the whole year and several other members of our class were at the top. To Athletics, we gave fine baseball, cross-coun- try and track material. Therefore in our very first year at Burrillville High, we most definitely established ourselves scholastic- ally, socially, and athletically. Even the Dark Age was not so dark as it has some- times been represented. Rene Laverdiere . Clifton Horne Rosamond Quinn . . Rita Charette . Miss Helen P. Kirby VVe then passed into the Bronze Age, as Sophomores. VVith a much smaller class, we entered upon another successful year. Here too we made rapid advancement into the educational world. Again, the rank list was headed by members of our class, in fact we attained the first three places, namely: Cecile Lariviere, Rosamond Quinn and Rene Laverdiere. Several boys in the class now held places on the varsity baseball and track teams. WVe held a St. Patrick's Day Party which proved very successful. The decor- ations were in keeping with the day and from the rumors, the upper classmen now recog- nized us as a capable class and leaders in school activities. We have now become definite fixtures at Burrillville and through progress have ad- vanced into a time known as thc Silver Age. We entered this period with even more suc- cess before us. We held as our annual feature a Halloweien Party, at which we again displayed our talent. In the inter- class ticket-selling contest we trounced the Sophomores and Freshmen and gave the Seniors a hard tussle. Our members still topped the rank list. Cecile Lariviere won the State Prize in the Gorgas Memorial Es- say Contest. We held a Military Whist Party, which through careful management was very successful. We donated the re- ceipts of this party for the purchase of the Honorary Scholastic Awards for the Seniors of 1935. In Athletics, we are still holding our own. J. Corrigan has lost count of his medals won in track contests. THIRTEEN
