THE PHILOMATH -. 9 EllullllIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllullllllllllulllllllllllllllnlllnlInuIIIIIllllllllllnlllllllnllllulllllullnnllnnl llluulllm G au Jlffutvuf Those of us with good memories can vividly look back to the close of the sum- mer of '42 to that thrilling day when we, the Class of '45, entered F. H. S. Little did the teachers realize the impor- tance of our class! Little did the upper- classmen acknowledge the persisting en- durance and the dominating courage of us, the sophisticated sophomores. We had been here but a month when the seniors threw a shindig for us in Lin- coln School Hall. They called it the Senior- Soph Dance, and what a reasonable price for us Sophs! In the beginning our class appeared to be an ignorant one, for during the first term no one made the High Honor Roll. Many tears were shed, I presume, over this strange calamity! As tradition had it, each sophomore class elected a class adviser. The first choice of our class was none other than the petite and charming Miss Mary Cunning- ham. Her careful guidance and good lead- ership have placed our class in the ranks of the best. Our heartiest congratulations to her for such a splendid job! A few months later, there were still no names on the high honor roll for soph- omores. My, my, what shame on our class! Along in March came the results of our sophomore election! We chose Donald Chasse, Presidentg Madeline Falconi, Vice-President, Irene Vitali, Secretaryg and Paul Flaherty, Treasurer. A great surprise came o'er the Sophs in May. Yes, that rare miracle had hap- pened! That unexpected goal was attained tor something!! Kenneth Speigel made the High Honor Roll. Mother, pin a rose on Ken! The end of our Sophomore year was in sight and the summer vacation looked very promising! tPromising from the stand- point that we could stay up late at night and get up late in the morning! 1 When we returned to our Elmer Mat- ter in the following September, we were no longer those puny, undernourished sophomores! No, we had now risen to the rank of powerful and charming juniors! tSo we told ourselves! 5 The first name in the news during our junior year was that of Nancy Ford for her achievement in making the high honor roll. At last we were giving a true example of our class, scholastically and extra-cur- ricularly. For the second time in our high school career we were called upon to elect class officers. Our choices again turned out to be excellent, as We elected Robert Ablondi to be President of our Class, Nancy Ford, Vice-President, Martha Boyle, Secretaryg and David Edwards, Treasurer. Our years progressed peacefully until the time arrived for the arrangement of affairs for our junior Prom. We were very busy trying to make it the best Prom ever! Through the utmost efforts of all those in charge, the dance turned out to be a splen- did affair. Once again came the time of the year for the students to go home and sleep for ten weeks and the teachers to go out and work! fOr was it the other way around?! Coming back to dear old Framingham High School in September of 544, we were now on the last lap of this twelve-year job. We were seniors! Unbelievable, wasn't it? It seemed very strange every time we stopped to figure that in less than ten months we would graduate 1 ?b from F. H. S.! Getting right down to business we gave tContinued on page ll!
