Freshie Day Everywhere, the seniors proudly displayed their senior hats and arm bands as a sign of their prow- ess. Rebellious juniors, thinking of next year when they could tease the lil’ freshies sorrowfully enacted Freshie Day to show their discouragement. Well, it was nice to pretend. Field Day Originally planned for September 24, the invariably-obstinate New England weather postponed Field Day for twenty-four hours. However, this delay proved wholly worthwhile when September 25 came forth, clear and sunny. To put everyone in a jovial mood, Mr. Brendolin, an accordionist, played gay and snappy tunes, Snap-happy Pat Maroney and Peggy Salter were but a few camera fiends who busily and whole- heartedly shot different victims. Caught in the act! Gina Cantalina, Jo Swierad, and Evelyn Severyn had no choice about being shot on the chute-the-chute. Unaware that S. S. agent Doc Melville peeked suspiciously between them to see whether the birdie was chewing gum, laughing groups of seniors kidded and raised cain.

CHUMS “True friendship has no end,” is a saying that seemingly has been advo- cated by various seniors. Mary DeGray and Ann Callahan did not need a hangout to house their pleasure: each other’s company was enough. Light-haired Claire LaValley and dark-haired Lorraine Cormier have passed a small portion of their school life by gabbing rapidly every morning for a few minutes before Modern Problems 2 class. “Two's company and three’s a crowd” isn’t the philoso- phy of Claire Murray, Shirley Jack, and Milly Cherichetti. Basketball teammates, and would-be bookkeepers, these three have been inseparable. Louise Fiorentino and Louise Delmonti, diminutive in size, for more than three years have shared their rare sense of humor and love of life. Possibly the enjoyment of Hannah Howarth, Marion Stark, and Loretta Reed was due to their companion, Marjorie Pinney; our Commerce comedian. The wide smiles radiated by Shirley Joslyn and Ann Lacedonia are per- haps the result of a perfect companionship during their years in Commerce. Ambitious buddies, Doris Pera and Mary Lou Owens, have energetically run for office, joined clubs, and have gone out for sports together. Lina Bissonnette and Ruth Creanza apparently found that one good friend is worth a thousand casual ones — although these buddies have many other chums. Two other close friends are Grover Grindle and Carmino Ravosa. More boy pals? Oh yes!! Vic Frisby and Leo Chenevert may have sought each other’s company to share good times, or more likely, as mutual protection against the opposite sex. Most likely you often found these two girls in the Patrol office: Jewell Gamble and Beverly Spangler, pals from a way back. These are but a few friends in the class of °47. Ten years from now, will they still be bosom buddies, constant companions, friends forever?
