Cfaaa .Mafory It was four years ago that the Superior Ghost gave me my assignment and told me to come down from the old chapel to haunt the Class of 1946. I agreed and gathered my necessary equipment and so prepared to take the job I was to have for the next four years. I got the first glimpse of the class I was to haunt on the opening day of school in September, 1942. There they were a group of small kids just out of Eldredge. They really looked minute compared to the upper classmen. During their first days here they seemed a little afraid especially of those seniors and of Initiation Day and did they get it on that day. Why I hardly recognized them. They went through the toughest initiation ever held at East Greenwich High. Now officially members of the school, they elected officers: Emily Briggs ..,.......................,..., President Frances Rice ...........,...,.....,..... Vice-President Norma Magner ...,........,.., ..........., S ecretary Penelope Cruden ....,....,............ .... T reasurer The first year was a quiet one for the freshmen and their advisors, Miss Mary Walsh, Miss Margaret Steinmetz and Mr. Clinton L. White. After a nice long summer vacation they returned to school. This time I noted they had a little more confidence in themselves. I mentioned this in my annual report to the Ghost Superior. Right away they elected the following ofiicers: Shirley Farrell .............,.............., President Almeda Symons .,...................... Vice-President Margaret Cheever ..........,................ Secretary Bob Howard ............,.................. Treasurer The big event of their Sophomore year was the running of the Sweetheart Dance at which they crowned Shirley Farrell, Sweetheart. Their advisors Miss Beatrice Hall and Miss Catherine Whitney helped them a great deal. Before they knew it another summer was upon them and then another fall. They came to school this year as Juniors and re-elected Shirley Farrell to serve another term as Class President. Peter DeRestie ............,............ Vice-President Margaret Cheever ....,..................... Secretary Philip Panizza ...,,,.......,............... Treasurer They started the year with Miss Beatrice Hall and Mr. Nicola Carcieri as advisors. After Miss Hall's resignation Miss Lisa Cipolla joined Mr. Carcieri as a class advisor. In November they ran a Harvest Dance but their big event of the year was running the Junior Prom. According to the reports it was the finest prom ever held at E. G. H. Another summer passed and then the big day came. They came back to school this time with the pride and dignity of Seniors. I, too, was proud for this made me the senior ranking campus ghost. They elected the following officers to head the class iniits last year at E. G. H. George Bristol ....,...,.,,.,................ President Peter DeRestie ...... . . .Vice-President Margaret Cheever . . . ....., Secretary Philip Panizza ......... ,........, T reasurer Charlotte Spungin ..................., Social Chairman Their first social activity of the year was initiating the incoming freshmen. This was done in grand style over at Goddard Park. After they were sufficiently killed the seniors put on a dance in their honor. They held a hayride one fall evening and a grand time was had by all who attended. In December came the Christmas Dance and proved to be a gala affair. February found the Seniors busily selling tickets for the annual movie night. 'Things were quiet until commencement activities started. First came the tradi- tional Ivy Day exercises andx crowning the queen of the day. That night the Seniors put on their last dance at E. G. H.-the Ivy Day Dance. 21
