Careless, happy, and a lot wiser, we discarded the fads of our Sophomore year and regarded the cor- ridors of C. H. S. as our very own. We started paying class dues, then, on election day, ap- pointed Harold Vanasse, President, Joe Ellam, Treasurer, Lois Keiger, Vice-President, and Janet French, Secretary. We held dances to increase the size of our treasury, watching it grow and grow as we all became fudge experts and chief cake samplers. Everyone helped to make our Junior Prom a Hawaiian success, and '54 was only a year away.

Faster and faster the days rolled by, nearer and nearer to graduation. We were at the top of the ladder and happier than we'd ever been. We quickly elected Harold Vanasse, President, Judy Tomolo, Vice-President, Janet French, Secretary, and Joe Ellam, Treasurer. We finished paying our dues, excited in antici- pation of graduation. We sold Christmas cards and planned our Senior Hop in red and silver. Our first Senior party was held at The Yellow Barn, with many more to look for- ward to. We awaited our trip to Provincetown as the Class Book Staff feverishly added finish- ing touches to the Yearbook. Marks were better than ever and school was a lot of fun. Spring came with the excitement, happiness, and sadness of .graduation-then only mem- ories of a wonderful class.

E' GOGUEN Could anyone possible feel as alone as we did on that first high school day in '51? We faced the crowded hallways and endless rows of doors with mixed feelings of confusion and determination. How glamorous and sophisticated we thought the Seniors lookedp how lost we felt among them. Heavy books and heavier homework seemed to weigh us down merci- lessly. Then we gained more confidence in our ability as the newness began to wear off and we ioined the crowd at Guidi's. We became aware of class spirit-something we had never felt before. Studying was a new habit we developed, and soon the routine of high school took hold as we began to recite in class and feel a sense of belonging. We relaxed and took an interest in extra-curricular activitiesp some joining The Hi.gh School Band while others, the Debating Society. The feared mid-years came and passed-we were initiated and accepted.

JGOGUEN Confident, eager, and a little bit taller, we were really in the swing of things, wonder- ing how Mr. McCaffrey's deep voice could ever have frightened us. He became our class acl- visor and aided us in our first election. We chose Billy Grady as Presidentp Lois Keiger, Vice- Presidentp Harold Vanasse, Treasurer, and Janet French, Secretary. We held a Turkey Raffle that firmly established a class treasury. Fads became important to usp dog collars and pend- ants were the rage for the girls, while the boys wore their hair longer and their trousers a little tighter around the ankles. That was the year we sported raccoon coats at the football games and learned all the cheers to go with them. Studies were tougher and points really began to matter. Graduation seemed years away as we wondered if we'd ever be Seniors.
