History WAY back in September, i950 a group of bewildered freshmen left the Junior High Station and boarded the Franklin Academy Express to start the long iourney through high school. We were plenty scared, as this was our first train trip, but with Arlene Killets engineering the expedition and Janet Barnes assisting her, we found our seats. Edward Manley recorded the sights and Neil Russell held' the tickets. As the train rolled from one year to the next, the controls were turned over to Don Tulloch with Edward Mageean standing by. Richard Durham was handed the record book while Dolphus Soulier held our tickets in a tight grip. '52 Passed into '53, and we were beginning to enioy the trip. Don Tulloch seemed completely at ease as our chief engineer. Dolphus Soulier handed over the tickets to Francis Byington for safe keeping and proceeded to help Don at the throttle. When '54 came into view in the distance, we had covered a lot of territory and were approaching the home stretch. lt looked as though Edward Mageean were to be at the controls when we finally reached our destination, while Nyle Marlowe shoveled the coal for our final burst of speed. Dolphus Soulier now took his turn at recording the sights, while Janice Kelley presented our tickets to the conductor in return for our long awaited diplomas. When the train finally pulled into the station, it was a much older and wiser group that descended to the platform of the Future. While on the train we had gradually risen to a position of prominence. Comprising our crew were many impressive leaders, dedicated to the welfare of these organizations: Student Counci l --Anthony Pease Summary Committee--Marie Harrigan Student Magazine--Arlene Killets Student Newspaper--Dava Sancomb Student Yearbook--Janet Barnes John Bessette F.
