' OUR SUPERINTENDENT Members of the Class of 1959 As you are being graduated from East Greenwich High School I extend to you my heartiest congratulations. May your graduation be animportant step for- ward in your life. May it not be the end of your education, but the beginning, even for those of you who will not enter college next fall. Many of the best ed- ucated people in the world today are self-educated. Use the tools of learning well in order to develop a fuller and richer life. Best wishes. Rufus A. Brackley To the Members of the Class of 1959 The diploma which will be pre- sented to you on the night of graduation is your passport to what, I trust, will be ahappy and meaningfullife. Our nation today needs mature young minds capable of preserving human rights and human dignities. May you be able to recognize and encourage those things which will contribute to greater understanding and enlightenment in a world confused by many troublesome issues. Archie R. Cole OUR PRINCIPAL OUR FACULTY The East Greenwich Academy was bought by the town in 1942 and was used as the town high school from 1942 to 1956. .N wi 5 fx' Y X CX rf' X .,, ' ' t W iw-cr. STANLEY A.

To graduate was our one aim. lt would mean a lot of work at best, But we were ready to meet the test. We didn't know what was in store Until we faced our election chore. Bobby Waldeck presided that year With Douglas Harding remaining near. To Katy LeBeau our money went While in our ptuses we felt a dent, Carol VanOlinda our notes did takeg A very good secretary she would make, We called our dance the April Showers. The gym was trimmed with beautiful flowers. With the Eighth Grade Promotion out of the way Our cares of school soon flew away. Very quickly the summer passed. Back this year for our Freshman Class. For John Cragan, President, our votes did pour, With Douglas Harding Vice President once more. Jerry Thompson, as secretary, we chose Janet Johnson as treasurer we wouldn't oppose. Our Harvest Hop was loads of fun, And that school year was over and done. As sophomores we were on the beam. Our new school was really like a dream. John, Douglas, and Janet were elected again While Judy Essex took paper and pen. Our football team no one could stop. As co -champions we found ourselves at the top. The joyful crowd in the stands did cheerg Their vibrant voices rang loud and clear. Our Sweetheart Dance wasn't a financial success: Everyone had a pleasant time, nevertheless. As queen, Judy Essex the grand march led, The decorations were hearts of blue, white and red Our treasury was in dire need, But we didn't have a project: sad, indeed! At the end of the year for our rings we were measured They would always be remembered and treasured We had our school picnic at Goddard Park. That sunny, fun filled day left its mark Later, to Scarborough beach our class went. With swimming and eating our time was soon spent. We started our Junior Year with loads of ambition. To choose class officers was the important mission. John, Judy, and Janet remained in demand While Steve Chipman was made second in command Our finances needed a boost, we knew, But we all had the question, What can we do? To everyone, selling school pens seemed fine. In this project our class really did shine. Our Junior Promenade had stars as its theme, Which proved to be an effective scheme. Music by the King's, as always, was great, This would surely be a memorable date. Summer days were soon over and past. Again we entered school, this year, our last. Work on our Crimson was soon to begin, We hoped that honors, our yearbook would win. We still had to choose class officers, yet. Carol VanOlinda, as treasurer, was our best bet. Doug Harding for Vice President took all our votes, John was still President, Judy again took the notes. At the football games, concessions we sold Although our hands were numb from the cold. Our Christmas Hop was welcomed by all As everyone danced and had a ball. The lovely weather that came in May Was welcomed by all on Ivy Day. On Moving-Up -Day awards were won And yearbooks distributed to everyone. The eve of our banquet was drawing nigh. We all knew we'd soon be saying good -bye. The end of our journey came without regret, For our years at E.G. we would never forget. Our high school diplomas were nearly won. Our days in school would soon be done. Into the wide world with tears in our eyes, We looked to the future with nostalgic sighs.

Roberta Eddy Carol Van0linda A.D. 1969 It is the year 1969 and I have left my Hot Rod Headquarters in New York to return to East Greenwich for the reunion of the class of 1959. I met Janice Ben- net at the Roger Williams General Hospital, where she is the superintendent of nurses, and we rode together in the helicopter which makes regular trips between Providence and East Greenwich. We were surprised at the many changes in town. As we walked down Main Street we saw Ronald Durrie starting out from the Post Office on his bicycle to deliver the daily mail. Not much change there, I thought, We heard from Ronald that Kenneth Atkinson is still living up to his name Sheik, A car pulled out in front of us and who was it but the Visiting Nurse, Roberta Eddy, looking well and happy. The next person we met was Ru- dolph DiPippo, the editor of the gossip column for the Providence JournaL From him I leamed of other members of our class. Marion Ericson has made a generous contribution to science with a cure for elephantiasis. Cecelia Mello is a food demonstrator for General Mills, and Geraldine Vestri has taken over Edith Head's position at Paramount, including the dark glasses. Anne Warhurst has invented a cover-up for freckles. I always thought you liked them, Anne. Corrine Juras is the head suutter for the Warwick Drum and Bugle Corps. Anita Rogers runs a rest home for retired teachers. Any patients I know? Betty Baker is the country's top auctioneer, yelling so all can hear. Teddy Mellor is now the proud owner of Mellor and Associates' Auto Body Shop. John Cragan is our Fish and Game Warden. He devised new laws from his own experience. Janet Slack is an airline stewardess for American Airlines. This year she was voted Miss Airlines of 1969, Douglas Harding is operating his own missile plant and is competing with all the Armed Rarces. Carol VanO1inda is the first U. S. woman Senator from Rhode Island. Tony Blanchard is a famous cartoonist. He has a new comic book out called Maggie and the Mixed -Up Magpie. Judy Greene is the head librarian at the Congres- sional Library in Washington, D.C. Gwen Bowers has her own riding academy, and has won many honors for her riding. Sandra Elwell has started a new trend in painting. She just had her first showing at the Metropolitan Art Gallery. Jerry Thompson has taken over his father's business at Briarbrook Farm. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, Jerry. James Conway is coaching football at Yale University. Frances Couper holds the position of head gym teacher at an all boys' school. Do the boys keep their minds on their work, Fran? Herbert Fogel has just opened up a string of clothing SIOIBS, and is designing the clothes he sells. Rosemary Yar- borough owns and operates her own catering service. She got most of her ex- perience running the Senior concessions at the football games, Bernice Agnew has opened a unique salon, specializing in pixie haircuts, catering to debutantes and actresses. Cecelia Pastore is secretary to the head of the enlarged Bostitch Plant, Watch out for those staples, Cecelia! Judy Shadeck is the proud owner of Shadeck's Used Car Lot. Watch out for the lemons, Judy Victor Castelli is serving science by being the first human being to land on the moon. Margaret Wood and Virginia Smith have a very successful theater. There is no need for the customers to go for water during the picture, as there is a faucet on the back of each seat. Janet Johnson has found a way to get a tan without the burns. What happens when the shoe polish washes off, Janet? Herbert Salvas, the newest rage in Hollywood, has just finished his 100th picture. He figures this one will be nom- inated for the Academy Awards like all the rest. Lorraine Margeson has just opened a string of clothing stores which extend all the way to Florida and Cali- fornia. Gloria Baker is our very accomplished Ambassador to Africa, where the in- habitants love her kindness and her quiet ways. Herbert Luther has become a famous archeologist, and is the owner of many diamond mines. Remember all the quartz you collected in 1959? Robert Waldeck is a big game hunter. He was last heard of tracking down big game in the deep, dark jungles of Africa. Victor Volpe was just chosen the great all-star center for the Giants' foot- ball team. Keep up the good work, Vic! Allen Brackley has become the prin- cipal of a very fine boys' school in Maine. You finally got back to Maine, Al. Paul McNeil has a column for the lovelorn in the New York Times called 'Dear Pauline. He does a very good job consoling young lovers. Ann Casa- vant is a psychiatrist specializing in people with chemistry fatigue. Judy Essex is teaching school, intent on her work, with no time for the sterner sex. Betsey Carpenter has revolutionized affairs by becoming the first Secretary of the Navy. We find that many of our classmates reached the goal of their ambitions and others nave succeeded in ways little dreamed of by themselves or others.
