1955 - 1956 Full of excitement, we entered E. H. S. in September for the last lap of our journey. To lead us through the year was Miss Claudia Fleming, giving us her willing assistance whenever we needed it. As class officers, we elected: Thomas LaPlante President Joanne Gendreau Secretary Emelie Racicot Vice-President Patricia Tourville Treasurer Representing us at Student Council were Bruce Craig, James Stone, Richard Nadolny, David Jayes, Roberta Laprade, Patricia Tourville, Donna Mitchell, and Joanne Gendreau. Our magazine campaign proved to be very profitable. High seller for the Crowell Company was Lillian Lajoie, and Donna Mitchell took honors for the Curtis Company. Pictures, pictures, pictures! Yes, the months of February and March proved to be quite exciting ones with all of us rushing about gathering Senior pictures of our classmates. The Senior play, Wish On the Moon , was a tremendous success. The cast, under the direction of Mr. Thayer, gave a superb performance. One of the outstanding features of this year was our annual Senior Class trip to Washington, D. C. This, indeed, was a thrill- ing experience. As chaperones, Mr. Arnold Cleary and Mrs. Marjorie Beebe did a line job. In June, along with the Juniors, we put on the Senior Prom. This was a gala affair. To wind up this, our final year in E. H. S., we are all looking forward to Class Night and finally the big step, graduation. We will leave behind us many pleasant memories of these past four years at E. H. S. Joanne Gendreau Secretary 43
