HI TORY termined to have a good year. And we didl With Jackie Bushman as Presidentg Terral Pope, Vice President, Denise Kidder, Secretary, and Guy Haynes, Treas- urer, we began our third year in Franklin High School. The class rings arrived and we realized for the first time that the years were quickly passing. Our Carnival Queen candidate was Joan Beaupre, and the Juniors made an excellent showing, giving the Seniors quite a scare. We were scared, too. They won. The climax of our junior year was our Evening ir1 Paris Prom. The effect of the sidewalk cafe was heightened by the mural of the Eiffel Tower and the Arch of Triumph which appeared behind the orchestra. As the year came to a close, we realized that the long awaited moment was close at hand. We would soon be Seniors. At last we were Seniors and we turned to the important matter of selecting class officers. Sid Seamans was again Presidentg Guy Haynes, Vice Presidentg Denise Kidder, Secretary, and Sandra Rousseau, Treasurer. We had certainly made a Hne selection. Next on the agenda was the selection of the yearbook editor. Iim Keegan received this honor. Sandra Rousseau and Jerry Edmunds were elected co-as- sistant editors. Winter Carnival time found us determined to win. Louisa Barton was chosen our Carnival Queen candidate. This time our participation was not in vaing and, as Louisa received the crown, we felt very proud of our accomplish- ment. Now began the rush of activity that so exemplifies the life of a Senior. Caps and gowns were selected, name cards ordered, pictures taken and exchanged and all the other traditions of the senior year were perfonned. But overshadowing all was the realization that we would soon be leaving and we endeavored to make the most of our last days in Franklin High School. Time for the Senior Prom arrived and finally the graduation exercise itself. VVe had our diplomas and remembered the frustration and fun of high school, but we longed to see what lay ahead. 31

CL SS Franklin High's class of 1958 began its s arklin career on a bright September morning in 1954. As we entered the gym, tlor the irst time a part of it, we were nervous with expectancy. But the warm welcome of Mr. Cashman, our principal, put us at our ease. We were about to embark on a new adventure and were thrilled at the prospect of entering high school. Initiation! How we laughed when we viewed each other in our comic attire - the irls in men,s pajamas or long johns, and the boys in Bermuda shorts with girls' blouses and hats. But in spite of our grumbling, we enjoyed the day almost as much as the Seniors did. VVhen Hnally we felt we were acquainted, we held the election of our class omcers. Sid Seamans was chosen President, Dianne Wiser was our Vice-Presi- dent, Nancy Rowe became the Secretary, and David Boyce was elected Treasurer. Needless to say, they led us through a successful year. The arrival of winter heralded the Winter Carnival, a very new experience for most of us. Jeannette Plourde was elected our queen. Although we didn't quite make it, we did enjoy participating in the various events and gaining experi- ence for the coming years. Toward the end of the year we held our first dance. It was labelled the 'April Frolic, and everyone agreed that it was well worth the effort. Our Freshman year came to an end, and we looked forward all summer to becoming more mature sophomores. We began our second year with the election of class oflicers. For President, we elected Terral Pope, for Vice-President, Dianne Wiser, for Secretary, Denise Kidder, and for Treasurer, Norman Dustin. We also elected a committee to serve with the Juniors for the purpose of se- lecting class rings. They were very conscientious, and their choice was to become the oihcial ring of Franldin High School. The Holidagf Hop was the highlight of our Sophomore year. As our theme vxietlchose Holi ay Splendor , we danced around a huge snowball in the middle o e gym. That year Louisa Barton was our Carnival queen candidate, but again our participation gathered only experience. The Seniors won. Soon spring was upon us and another year was past. As our junior year ap- proached, we realized that there was much to be accomplished and we were de- 30
