1949-50 At last came the day for the class of ' 50 to return to Fisher to start out on the second and final year of its school career. To start the year, the class elected the following officers: President Nancy Nuttall Vice-President .... ..JThelma Hanson Secretary Janet McKeown Treasurer Jo Ann Hewev Sororities got to work after a long summer ' s rest and had two social events. One was a Halloween Pumpkin Ball, sponsored by Alpha Iota Sorority. Miss Claire Viden, President of Alpha Iota, and Mr. Sanford crowned Gwen Davies and her escort Queen and King. Theta Alpha Chi sponsored a lovely Fashion Show in which sorority members participated as models. The latest fashions were shown to great advantage by the very attractive models. In November, the school held an informal dance at the Hotel Sheraton. A huge crowd attended and everyone had a wonderful time. December once more brought the Christmas Pageant, this time performed at John Hancock Hall. It certainly attracted many people and was a superb creation. The girls then left for home on their Christmas vacation. Once again Sororities vied to get the Juniors into their groups. Initiations were held and everyone wished she could have had marks high enough to allow her to join. Fisher gave a formal dance at the Parker House, following a smash success by the Dramatic Club. The Club acted in the very famous and entertaining Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, starring Ida Cristaldi and Margie McNeil. The play was excellent and the fellows from Fisher and Emerson added greatly to the cast. The Seniors now entertained their mothers at the Senior Mothers ' Tea. Re- freshments were wonderful, especially Mr. Myron ' s new punch formula. As usual, the Glee Club sang beautifully and well. At last, Senior Week arrived. With lumps in their throats at the thoughts of leaving Fisher, the girls had their banquet at the Hotel Vendome, Class Day at the Hatch Memorial Shell, the Senior Prom at the Hotel Somerset, a cruise on the Boston Belle, and finally graduation at John Hancock Hall. Seniors put away their worn books, bid fond but sad adieu to their favorite teachers, and they left the school to which they had become so attached. Though work in business was uppermost in the seniors ' minds, they all vowed to return again and often to Fisher — where wonderful memories were gained by all.
