ward giving the Seniors the best reception ever, and due to our efforts our wishes were fulfilled. I suppose ever}- Junior class thinks their reception is the best ever, but we know ours was. We entered our Senior year determined to get everything possible out of our last year in High School, and we certainly have. Class officers were elected. They were: President, Halford Crockett; Vice-President, Edward Ackley; Secretary, Norma Tracy; Treasurer, Dorothy Abbott. This year it was our turn to give the Freshman Acquaintance Party which turned out to he a great success. Our class was leader in athletics, many of our classmates being members of the football and basketball teams. John Clapp was our star trackman and won many trophies. “Father and the Boys” was presented by the school, but most of the major parts were filled by the Seniors. Later on in the year, our class presented “The Cat and the Canary” for the benefit of the year book. We have endeavored to carry on the policy of Alvin Landry in the publication of the year book and we hope the following classes will continue this policy. Such is the history of the class of ' 29. Thus we went through our four years with one object in mind, F. H. S. first. BARBARA HUDSON. ■-o- Motto Vincit qui putet se posse He conquers who thinks he can.

Finals came all too soon, and in no time at all vacation was here. We came back two months later and found ourselves graduated from the top floor to the second. The track meet was much the same as the pre- ceeding year. Early in the fall the Shakespearian Club came into being. The Shakespearian Club existed during the Class of ’29’s Sophomore year. The club had its meeting every Tuesday afternoon in the High School Aud¬ itorium. The officers were: President, “Eddie” Ackley; Vice-President, Helen Nowland; Secretary, Florence Tufts; Treasurer, Barbara Hudson; Program Director, “Ray” Feeley. Somehow or other the funds of the club were misappropriated, the consequences being that the treasurer was never again allowed to handle money for any organization. We made a trip to Boston to witness “Macbeth.” Led on by this, we attempted to present a scene from the “Tempest” by Shakespeare, at Horace Mann Literary Club Meeting. We doubt if anyone recognized it, but it seemed to delight the audience, especially when the scenery kept rocking to and fro. The club closed in June and died a natural death. This year we added a few more new members to our class, Clare and Bob McMorrow from Dorchester High School, and Leonard Houle from Woonsocket. Our Junior Year dawned upon us all too quickly. All the social events of the fall were combined in one large event, the Hallowe’en Dance. For the first time since our entrance into High School we elected class officers. You see we were quite different from previous classes. It was quite a surprise to us and everyone else. The officers were: President, “Mike” Vignone; Vice-President, Philip Baiona; Secretary, Florence Tufts; Treasurer, Richard Linn. Due to the fact that Richard moved away, John Clapp was chosen to fill his place. Great excitement reigned from the beginning of May until the 25th when the Junior Prom took place. Everyone worked hard and did his share to- [ 11 J
