CLASS HISTORY In 1951 the Senior Class of 1964 had its beginning. On a sunny day in September there entered upon the steps of Cambridge Grade School twenty-three spirited, but at the same time timid, kindergarten children. They were: Joe Brown, Martha Brown, Mary Brooks, Joan Estergard, Donita Frandsen, Steven Hayen, Howard Johnson, Martin Jones, Ann Molloy, Cheryl Newcomb, Ann O’Brien, Leo Paris, Denise Purington, Ed Rathbun, David Sayer, Vicki Sexton, Bill Shoemaker, Norman Trosper, Peg Trumble, Carolyn Williams, Barbara Evertson, Gerry Phillips and Charles Zabel. In the first grade we were joined by Gordon Musil and Carol Potter. We were probably like any other class, struggling through our first few grades. We had the usual fun and probably the usual fights. In our fourth year we were joined by Doug Allen, but Leo Paris left us. The next year Terry Buzzell, Phillip Sexton, Jim Ellis and Vivian Robinson joined us. The sixth is probably the most memorable grade of our grammar school days. Robert Sandman and Cedric Knehans increased the mem- bers of our class to thirty-one. Finally we reached Junior High; here we were joined by Patricia Metzger, Barb Rupe, Gene Witte and Leo Paris. We had the Eighth Grade Graduation exercise and became members of Cambridge High. As Freshmen we were joined by Maureen Parker and Gerald Cotton. Our Sophomore year was pretty successful. We had a very properous Penny Arcade and some of us were chosen to serve at the Junior-Senior Prom. Then we entered our Junior year, joined by Dale Simmons. We re- ceived our class rings, took part in a Junior-Senior play and then started our major project, the Prom. We chose as our theme Moonlight and Roses.” After our appetizing banquet of shrimp, we took our guests to our beautifully decorated gym. Following the dance was a show The Spiral Road.” Then a breakfast at the Paris home. At last we reached the final step in our education. We were Seniors. We entered our last year having lost five members of our clas s, Barbara Evertson, Maureen Parker, Terry Buzzell, Cedric Knehans and Gerry Philips. We gained Ronnie Aller. Senior pictures were taken and a few months later announcements were ordered. A few of the more talented of ustookpartin the Junior-Senior play. We all appreciated and enjoyed the prom of ‘ Stairway to the Stars given by the Class of 65. Now we are gone but we wish to leave a message of Thanks to everyone who has helped us attain our goal of graduation. We will all remember the hard work and fun we’ve had as members of the Class of ‘64. As we look to the future we keep in mind our class motto: ‘‘NOT ENDING, JUST BEGINNING.” 15
