oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 0190 QBQHQSQ o36o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Our Senior year we can truly term our Golden Age. Golden Indeed! It represents the best that has been done by our members. Overflowing with new responsibilities in work and in play,we embarked upon the last year. In October we held a successful Food Sale, which was followed by our Fall Dance, which was a very colorful event and amused the lower classmen to a state of frenzy. Miss Kirby, jubilant of our late sucess undertook a lllilitary VVhist. Then came the Christmas Party which everyone ad- mitted was the best party of the year. The cold month of January proved fatal to our activities, but February regained our confi- dence and the annual Senior Play, 'K0h Pro- fessoru was most successful both dramatic- ally and financially. VVe also came through and won the annual ticket-selling contest, beating our nearest rival by a percentage of Q5fZ7. Nfembers of our class were chosen for three Assembly programs held during the year. In March, we undertook what no other class has-a Salad Supper, which was most successful. Nine members have earned membership to the Rhode Island Honor Society of Secondary Schools and five have earned membership to the National Athletic Scholastic Society of Secondary Schools. The Spring Dance was our last gala event of the year. Here then is our recorded historyg of our unrecorded history, no account could show the countless steps we have ascended. VVe are now approaching the goal-llraflm ation-the crowning achievement. VVe have climbed rapidly and eagerly and we leave behind us a record of which we all may be proud. We have tried to do our best and hope that we have lived up to the standards of Burrillrille High. R.osA:vioNn P. QITINN, Sf-crcfary 0 0 0 CLASS DIARY Good morning, dear teachers.
