gan to be collected we didn ' t mind too- much the idea of moving. There was even talk of liberalizing the curriculum and entrance re- quirements. Hopefully we looked forward to our next year, but were saddened by the news of the retirement of our most beloved Head- master WALTER F. DOWNEY. SENIOR YEAR September found us at the new English High in the Fenway. We took over the Commerce High Building, and were enthusiastic over the intellectual atmosphere which greeted us. With Girls ' Latin just beyond the horizon we flocked to the school commissary to purchase our ties and telescopes. Our new headmaster M. Henry Mclnerney was especially success- ful in his first year at E.H.S. As the year pro- gressed we were certain that Mr. Mclnerney would elevate E.H.S. to even higher renown and success. After a difficult struggle Mr. Duffy cracked the code, and lockers were issued. Before the first week was over, we found ourselves in debt to the Keelon-Frazier Fund. We were told payment would be ac- cepted in monthly installments over a ten month period. Thanks to the fine coaching of Mr. Stewart our Football Team played fine ball. Things were quiet at E.H.S. in those days, when our first chemistry bi-monthly hit us. Murmurs were heard and dissension spread as insult was added to injury. With cold-blooded and unmerciful premeditation the English and Mathematics departments united in a joint effort to establish beyond the shadow of a doubt the fact of our ignorance. But we held firm to our principles as we mobilized for ac- tion and organized. We probably will go down in educational history for our platform demanded no home lessons, no tests, no cut slips, and no report cards! But alas, we had to abandon our plan for educational reform. As we prepared for those college boards we made a determined effort to absorb some more of the wisdom of the ages. The career guid- ance program really helped us to plan our future. Representatives from colleges and the professional and business world aided us in determining our future vocation. The most important idea they wanted to get across to us was that the only successful man is the one who enjoys his work. The events most an- ticipated now were the Prize Drill and the Schoolboy Parade. June brought us our graduating diplomas. We the class of ' 55, the first to graduate from the new EngUsh High School, were now to take our place in society. We looked for- ward to new horizons in college, business, or the armed forces. After four years at E.H.S. we were ready and eager to follow in the traditional footsteps of our fellow alumni in doing our best for our school and country.
