In this year we became more conscious of our ever-nearing Washington trip and sponsored a Ghost Basketball Game. It was one of the most novel activities ever held at E.H.H.S. and proved to be a big success. Much of our success as juniors was due to the assistance of our advisors, Miss Evelyn Bell, Mr. Edward Bear, and Mr. Nicholas Battit, who helped us immensely in all our undertakings. We reached the peak of our social life in the most impressive dance of our high school career, our Junior Prom. The theme of the Prom was Winter Wonderlandf' Very appropriately, our gym was alive with winter scenes and starry skies on this memorable night in February, as we danced to the music of the Ambassadors We were honored this year when Carl Sandin, Edith Nyman, Betty Holmquist, and Joanne Rittman were inducted into the National Honor Society. As in past years a good number of our class took part in the annual Powder and Puff Club production which this year was, You Can't Take It With You. Carol Byloff and Patricia Walsh were elected to represent our class at Girls' State and Frank Popowics and Ted Rudd represented us at Boys' State, both held at the University of Connecticut. Thus ended our memorable Junior Year . . . At last we had reached our ultimate goal. We had the new title of full fledged Seniors. Our efficient leaders in this year were: Howard Lundell, President, Carl Sandin, Vice Presidentg Edith Nyman, Secretary, and Anna Hartinger, Treasurer. Our advisors, Mrs. Helen Krotky, Mrs. Marjorie Jerin, and Mr. Laurent Fortin, were always ready and willing to lend a helpful hand in all our undertakings. Instead of having numerous money-making affairs for our Washington trip as the classes before us had done, we decided to have each student contribute a sum of money and make up the remainder by sponsoring a few major events. The biggest project sponsored by us proved to be the annual Senior Country Store, which was held in November. We had one of the most successful since the initiation of the Country Store. We also surpassed all classes in the school history by our tremendous work in the magazine campaign, reaching 224- per cent of our quota. Our Washington trip finally arrived in the spring after many years of hard work, and before long, graduation came with the rewards of diplomas and awards.

CLASS HISTORY So begins the history of the Class of '53 and so begins one of the most enjoyable and most unforgettable eras of our lives. When we became Freshmen, we were like any other Freshman class, timid, looking up to those towering upperclassmen, and thinking of the day fwhich then seemed like all eternity to usl when we would ourselves be Seniors. In this our Freshman year we were ably led by Howard Lundell, Presidentg Peter Rogers, Vice President, Patricia Walsh, Secretary: and May Ceysen, Treasurer. We received much help from our ad- visors, Mrs. Helen Krotky and Mr. James DeFrancisco, in this our great premiere. The accent of this year was our first dance, the Freshman Frolic, a square dance with the theme L'Make Mine Country Stylev under the direction of Edith Nyman. We also got a chance to show our salesmanship ability by participating in the school's annual magazine campaign, which proved to be a great success. History must go on, so onward moved the Class of ,53, rising to exalted Sophomores. We were again this year under the leadership of Howard Lundell assisted by Peter Rogers, Vice President, Joanne Rittman, Secretary, and Patricia Walsh, Treasurer. Miss Anna Clark and Mr. C. Blair McLean had the job of guiding us through this, our Sophomore year. The highlight of this year proved to be our Sophomore Hop under the title of 'gYounger Than Springtimef, Again the gym was decorated appropriately for the occasion and music was furnished by a well-known orchestra. The chairmanship was in the capable hands of Edith Nyman. We gained much recognition this year when one of our members, Patricia Walsh was inducted into the National Honor Society and another of our members, Carol Byloff acquired a large role in the play Harvey, put on by the Powder and Puff Club. We ended this our Sophomore year with a class picnic at Ocean Beach, which everyone agreed, was a great success. When we moved on to become Juniors, we were again led by Howard Lundell, Pres- identg Peter Rogers, Vice President, Edith Nyman, Secretary, and Anna Hartinger, Treasurer.
