Senior Class History As we prepare to don our caps and gowns, we, the members of the Class of 1948 pause in retrospect. Memories of the path we have blazed here at Ev¬ erett High came into view. Memories ... a teeming parade of memories . . . that bring us back to our Freshman year at the Parlin Junior High School. It was there that we entered upon our high school career. There, too, we attended many socials and assemblies prepared under the sponsorship of the Parlin Co-Operative Government Association. This student governing body elected Donald MacLeod as president, Hubert Eddy as vice- and Lena DelVecchio as secretary-treasurer. Finally, after proving to the satisfaction of all that we could recite ' ' Charac¬ ter ' ' forwards and backwards, we received our diplomas which marked our rise from lowly Freshmen who ' ' knew not and knew not that we knew not to lofty Sophomores who knew not and knew that we knew not. September, 1945, found us entering the Senior High School as the first post¬ war class of Sophomores. Like all the preceding classes we made our mis¬ takes and of the same shade of green. After becoming acclimated to our new surroundings, we settled down and soon became an integral part of high school life. The officers we elected as Sophomores were President, Herbert Haines; Vice-President, Walter Carrington; Secretary, Mary Colombo; and Treasurer, Paul Johnson. Serving on the School Council as Sophomore representatives were Ann Gibson, Richard Erlandson, and Joan Sullivan. Our parade down memory lane takes us now to our Junior year where as a class we did not lead an obscure existence. Our members continued to par¬ ticipate actively in school affairs. Indeed, the outstanding star on the sports horizon that year was a Junior—Zack Boyages, who was the highest scorer on the basketball team, the second team ever to represent this school in the East¬ ern Massachusetts Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. In the fields of de¬ bating and dramatics our classmates also shone brilliantly. Turning now to the political front, we elected Don MacLeod as our president, returning him to the position he held as a Freshman. Walter Carrington, Mary Colombo, and Paul Johnson were re-elected to their positions as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Joan Sullivan and Richard Erlandson were joined on the School Council by Edward Leo and Hubert Eddy. The social highlight of the year was the Junior Prom in May, which turned out to be an overwhelming success in both attendance and enjoyment. It proved to be a glorious climax to the year ' s activities. The days soon came for us to say farewell to the Seniors. Close friends who had formed a background of intimate associations were now leaving. We marked with surprise the rapidity with which our first three years had flown by. We were now Seniors and our last year at Everett High was now before us. Our Senior year opened with the election of class officers. Donald Mac¬ Leod was re-elected president. Walter Carrington and Mary Colombo for the third consecutive year were elected as vice-president and secretary respec¬ tively. Benedict Salamone, always in the running for popularity, won out in the election for treasurer. On the Student Council were Richard Erlandson, Joan Sullivan, Edward Leo, Jean Hall, and Frank Forte.

Senior Class History (continued) In the field of sports, athletic honors in football went to Ed Leo and limmy Carroll, who were named to numerous All-Scholastic Teams. In basketball the greatest team in Everett ' s history, paced by Captain Zack Boyages, tied for the Greater Boston League Championship and then went on into the Eastern Mas¬ sachusetts Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. Here, after defeating North Quincy in the opening round, and arch-rival Somerville in the semi-final round, the gallant Crimson warriors bowed out in the final round to a powerful Durfee High team, which went on to become New England Champions. Our Senior year was indeed an eventful one. For the first time in many years a school newspaper was started. Hubert Eddy served as editor and was ably assisted by an energetic staff. Another innovation was the observance of Good Government Day. Everett High elected William Gochis as Senator and Angelo Boy and Walter Carrington as Representatives to participate in the first student legislature in the history of the Commonwealth. Among the highlights of the year was the Senior Class Play, What a Life, starring Hubert Eddy and Doris Kelley; and the presentation of the Daughters of the American Revolution Award for Good Citizenship to Ann Gib¬ son. Beneath the lush surroundings of the Normandy Room of the nationally famous Totem Pole, the Senior Class held its Prom. It was the first time a Prom had been conducted outside the school. Dancing to the strains of George Lane ' s orchestra provided an evening of pleasure and enjoyment for all. Following the Prom in April the days passed swiftly, and we now look for¬ ward to a sunny day in June when we shall receive our coveted diplomas. To you the members of the Class of 1948 is this narrative dedicated. You are the principal characters, your activities from the opening week of school to the day of your graduation furnish the plot for this story; your accomplish¬ ments, the climax. May you look back in future years when memory fails to recall these happy times with sufficient clarity, and read again with some en¬ joyment the story of another year at Everett High—not just another year, but the year 1948.
