waterfront became the center of attraction, as everyone glided across the Hwharves and piers to the music of the Yacht Club Grches- tra at our own Junior Prom.--Forward to Vic- tory. SUCCESS Yes, we had reached our goal. We had be- come seniors. All the magnificent splendor of being the leading class in school was now ours, as we prepared to live the greatest year of our school career. Immediately upon the opening of school, we elected our leaders. Arthur Frew as president, Thelma Gassett, vice-presidentg Dolores Nadeau, secretary, and Mary St. Cyr, treasurer. Then we elected David as our Editor in Chief and the work on The Key of '50 began. Pictures, name cards, senior prom discussions all became the orders of the day . And then came the hurry and scurry of our last winter carnival. Basketball, bowling, photography, skiing, and sculpturing filled out our days. Each class worked unceasingly to win the trophy, but victory was ours. On the night of Februry ll, before a large throng, our queen Tillie and king Arthur were crowned at the Ball, and the Class of '50 reigned over the Winter Carnival of '50. Truly, this was a great year for us. The Franklin High cheerleaders, including seven seniors, won the Central N. H. Cheerleading Tournament and were presented the trophy awarded by the N. H. Morning Union. The lucky seniors on this squad were Marie Flana- gan, Madeleine Leahy, Winnifred Dumond, Glenna Veysey, Peggy Schmidt, Florence VVescott, and Adrienne Rousseau. Thanks for a swell job, girls. And then at the end of the football season another honor was taken by the seniors. Romeo LaRoche received the most valuable player trophy awarded by the K. of C. Glenice Dearborn was chosen our D. A. R. Good Citizen. Another honor which was bestowed upon us was the opportunity of choosing some of our boys to represent us as Junior Rotarians. These boys were David Bagley, Arthur Frew, Ronald Bailey, Nick Liolis,'Richard Seamans, Paul Lemire, and john Vlfelch. This year also, the senior class was fortunate to have six of its members rep- resent it at the State Music Festival. Rep- lCSClltlllg the glee club were Paul Lemire, Raymond Jeanson, Marie Flanagan, and Dolores Nadeau. Representing the band were Glenice Dearborn, and Barbara Smith. And now came the more serious part of our final year in F. H. S. Gur proud parents joined us in our celebrations at the Senior Banquet. In the elegant dimness of candlelight, attended by the pleasant tinkle of dishes and the low hum of voices, we ate, and drank and toasted our own achievements. VVe were all together, and nothing could break the spell. We were very happy. Class Day-We can never forget it. This year it was our turn to decorate the corridors by hanging those dignified maroon gowns from locker doors. This year it was our turn to march in that gala parade in graduation re- galia. This year it was our turn to clown in the gym, to receive the funny class gifts, and to have tea on the lawn afterwards, while the cameras clicked the day into permanent memory. Suddenly the entire school was topsy- turvyv. Suitcases crowded the corridor and variously attired seniors hurried to and fro. This was Class Trip day-the last time when we would be together as an informal group. Good-bye, have a good time. Bring me a souvenir. Has anybody seen my jacket? Gay banter, high spirits, familiar, congenial companions. We rode the crest of the wave. Then our enchanted evening . Soft lights, sweet music, lovely gowns. The Class of '50 sponsored its last event, the Senior Prom. Baccalaureate Sunday came swiftly, and, at last, our night of nights. We filed into the auditorium for the last time as a part of the student body of F. H. S. In the midst of con- gratulations, smiles, and tears, we received our diplomas, those certificates which told us that we had reached, victoriously, the end of the road. What lies ahead for the Class of 'SOP It is difficult to tell at the present. But when this history is read again, when it has become an- other chapter in the perpetual line of F. H. S. Keys, we, with our eager youth and aspira- tions, hope to have written a happy conclusion to the Idylls of '50, For we shall have lived our Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomor- row.
