Senior Junior Coming back here each year had become a habit now. We were upperclassmen and this was going to be a busy year for us. How superior we felt to the Freshmen and Sophomores! To guide us through our Junior year, we elected as officers Mike Pizza, President; Janet Robichaud, Vice-President; Jean O ' Brien, Secretary; Anthony Ernst, Treas- urer. We set about the business of building up our treasury so that we could give the Seniors a prom they would remember. We had a raffle and we sold stationery before Christmas . . . and during the football season we ran a series of dances at the K. of C. Hall. We selected our class rings and after waiting in anxious expectation wore them with justifiable pride. Mid-years rolled around . . . they were becoming monotonous . . . we still didn ' t know what good they were. This year the Senior class decided to re- vive the Inter-class Dramatics Competition. We put on The Lie that Jack Built, coached by Miss Gannon, with the following cast: Jack: Daniel Mitchell Frank: Richard DeCesare Helen: Gloria Jackson Dora: Virginia Gasparian We worked hard and had fun doing it, but the seniors proved to be the best in the eyes of the judges and they won the prize. June came, and with it our own Junior Prom! The committee in charge, especially the decorating committee, worked diligently to make it the best Prom on record and we think it was. Gerry Hedin ' s orchestra fur- nished the music; the crystal ball transformed the hall into a fairyland. Beautiful girls . . . handsome men. How grown up we felt. In September we would be Seniors! We returned to school for our last time. Unconsciously, we assumed a new dignity and self assurance. We organized early in September and elected Mike Pizza, President; Janet Robi- chaud, Vice-President; Phyllis Grady, Sec- retary; Anthony Ernst, Treasurer. We had work to do to earn enough money for our class book and our graduation activi- ties. We ran a series of dances during the football season at the K. of C. Hall. We had a turkey raffle at Thanksgiving, and we sold five hundred boxes of Christmas cards. The contract for printing the class book was given to Stobbs Press, Inc. in Worcester; and the Sargent Studio, in Boston, is to be our photographer. This year our Galloping Gaels con- quered all competition, and as a result, won the Midland League Championship, a feat of both distinction and renown. On January 27 we presented the Inter- class Dramatic Competition. Our own offer- ing, Johnny Goes Haywire, although we worked hard, was not quite good enough and the prize went to the Sophomore class. Their play was clever and the performance outstanding and everyone agreed with the judges ' decision. After Christmas wc settled down to study for our last mid-year exams. And with the passing of these exams, graduation seemed to come closer. Our pictures were taken, class book writeups were finished, senior clubs were organized, rehearsals started with Miss Driscoll, and plans made for grad- uation week. The most exciting time of our four years . . . the club activities, the trip to Provincetown, the Senior Banquet, our last High school Prom, this time as guests of the Junior class . . . and night of nights . . . Graduation!

BEVERLY DORIS ALTMAN COLLEGE COURSE “As sweet a girl, as true a friend, as ever could be found.” “Bev” is petite, well-dressed, and has the most beautiful, soft, brown eyes. A pianist of outstanding ability, a good student, an ardent supporter of all school activities, are but a few of her accomplishments. “Bev” is seldom seen alone; more often with at least one of her many pals. She intends to enter Colby College. Best of luck, “Bev,” from the Class of ’49.

He takes his studies seriously, his name is a regular occurrence on the testimonial list; but don ' t get the impression that he is a “grind,” for no social event is complete without him. Although “Junie” has no definite plans for the future, we feel sure that he will be a success in whatever career he undertakes.

She is good-natured, always has a good word and smile for everyone and is very pleasant to talk to. Joan is undecided as to what she will do in the future, but we are sure that her quiet and friendly manner wi ll carry her far in any vocation which she may choose. Good luck, Joan! Photography Club — History Circle JANET TERESA BOISSONEAU COMMERCIAL COURSE “And still they gazed and still their wonder grew How one small head could carry all she knew.” Laughing eyes and a cheery disposition is a very accurate description of “Buzzy,” liked by all her classmates for her engaging sense of humor. During her four years, she has enthusiastically attended all social and sports events, still man- aging her share of testimonials each quarter. Her future plans are as yet uncertain, but whatever they are, the Class of ‘49 is rooting for her to come out on top.
