We recall the sensation we felt as we entered our new home. lt was a strange sensation mingled with awe and determination at the same time. The coming of our welcoming reception. prompted by the threatening remarks of the Seniors, created a little fright in us and wonder of what sort of treatment was in store for us. How relieved we were upon arriving at the Town Hall and settling down to a most entertaining program conducted by our big brothers and sisters! This amateur talent show made such a hit with us that we decided to put one on at Christmas for our own enjoyment. One of our first disappointments was not being able to conduct any class functions. We showed such a strong desire to hold just one affair that we were permitted a skating party. Nearly the whole class turned out for this event, which was held on Lake Ripple. lt proved a hugh success. We had no trouble in recruiting candidates for class offi- ces. From quite a long list we finally elected Earl Eccleston as president, Bruce Longbottom as his able assistant, Joan Varner to record our big business trans- actions, and Nancy Arnold to set up savings accounts for us. Our first class function had been such fun that we anticipated having another one, preferably a class trip. We all agreed on taking in a night baseball game and managed to secure tickets to a Red Sox-Yankee game. Our plans were rained out and we were compelled to settle for a Braves-Dodger game the following night. This climaxed our first year at Dear Old Grafton and left us anxious for the first time to return to school in the fall. Upon returning as Sophomores to Grafton we welcomed thirty-one new classmates from Upton. From this new group we elected Joseph Wright as our rew presidentg Bruce Longbottom, vice presidentg Joan Varner, secretary, and Thomas O'Leary, treasurer. Remembering the fun we had had the previous year on a skating party, we settled down to planning another. The date was set five different times but the weather interfered each time. We next under- took to prepare for our first school dance, the Sophomore Hop. lt was held in the Grafton Town Hall and proved to be the last school dance ever held in the town hall. The date, after much discussion, was finally set for March 17. We decorated the hall with very appropriate green and white decorations to fit this festive St. Patrick's Day. The luck of the Irish must have been with us, for the dance proved to be a tremendous success. Being an ori- ginal-minded group, we decided to take a trip to Nantasket Beach. Many happy memories will be recalled of this trip, especially of the moonlight cruise from Nantasket to Boston. As the trip occurred nearly the last day of school, it furnished a pleasant note with which to end the year. Our third year marked a year of fun-filled activity. It almost seemed as though we were Seniors to some of the teachers who thought we were allowed too many privileges. Our first business of the year was the choosing of class rings. Our class chanced to be the last to be able to choose class rings, as Grafton was to adopt a school ring. Fol- lowing the social pattern set by previous classes, we began planning for the first school dance of the season, the Har- vest Hop. The annual Junior Cabaret was next on the pro- gram. With whole-hearted enthusiasm the casts of the two one-act plays and the dance committees began making preparations. We chose for plays, I f Girls Asked Boys for Dates, a comedy directed by Mrs. Lowellg and Not Tonight, a melodrama directed by Miss Noyes. For many members of the casts, it was their first experience on the stage, but they all performed with the confidence of vet- eran actors and actresses. Of course, the most memorable occasion of the social schedule was our Junior Prom. The decoration committee magically transformed the auditorium into a spring garden. The throne upon which Queen Eva Benoit and her lovely attendants sat was the center of attraction. The fragrance of fresh spring flowers and the soft pink and blue decorations were the background for a perfect dreamland. The remainder of the year was spent in transacting a good deal of business. We elected Helen Fadden, Editor-in-Chief of the Compass. Being a very dis- criminating class. we were naturally interested in securing the best and most economical photographer with whom to do business. We made arrangements to have an inter- view with three major photographers from whom we chose Lorings. Our first experience in selling to earn money for our Treasury will always be remembered. Evidently the product we were trying to sell was not so worthless as we thought, for we made a net profit of 3532. Joan Varner and Bruce Longbottom again resumed their duties as secre- tary and vice president respectively, while Thomas O'Leary took over the office of president and William Shackett that of treasurer. Our year's activities were again concluded with a class trip. This time we chose Whalom Park as our destination and invited the Sophomore Class to accom- pany us. Without our fully realizing it, our Senior year was upon us. Our goal of raising sufficient funds to meet the costs of our yearbook, graduation and Class Night was set, and we began planning projects to help attain this goal. One of our first projects, which was not by any means a hard one, was that of putting on a Hobo Swing. We also per- formed such arduous tasks as conducting the school census, soliciting patrons and patronesses, and selling Christmas cards. One of the most pleasant tasks awarded to seniors is that of putting on a Freshman Reception. Ours was par- ticularly enjoyed hy our little brothers and sisters, who were delighted by the Bathing Beauty Contest featuring all-male contestants. Our Senior Play, Never Darken My Door, was a smashing hit, much credit going to the members of the cast as well as to Miss Noyes, who did an expert job of directing the play. March 17 seemed to be a popular date with our class for dances. The name Senior Shenanigans provided an appropriate theme for our last dance. In recognition of the good citizenship they displayed, Shirley Stott and Bruce Longbottom received the honor of attending a good government convention. Shirley attended the D.A.R. Convention and Bruce the Student Government Day at the statehouse. Perhaps one of the most disappointing events to many seniors, was the cancellation of the annual Washington Trip. It was the first time since the establishment of the trip in 1924 that such an event occurred. Our Class Night exercises pro- vided us one last hour together before the final parting at graduation. All past grievances and disagreements were laid aside as the class united to enjoy this last opportunity of meeting informally. Looking back we recall how each day of our high school career has paved the way toward a brighter future. Our class, though not noted particularly as an honor roll class, will be remembered for its original- ity and independence, two qualities which have been de- veloped through the patient efforts of our teachers. We are a confident class, one that realizes its goal and is determined to reach it at any cost. X, ,f ,, ff Prophecy It is my pleasure and duty as the only person from the class of IS4 who chose to stay on earth to round up the gang for our first reunion. This is to he held right here on earth, June ll, 1964. My, how times have changed in those ten years since that last ,lune we filed out of Grafton High School! In those days we were afraid of the Atomic Bomb, just learning about jets, and had to watch our figures, diets, ah, fond memories! Today the only thing that bothers us is the fear of being invaded from a planet not yet discovered. We have lost memories of the push-button age, robots vou know, handy things to have around the house. Everything is either controlled by Radar or by atomic power. We have all learned Einstein's theory, and put it to good use. We have traveled to all planets and discovered a new one, Craftonia. I wonder Cl have always had a vivid imaginationl just what the old gang is doing right this very minute. l'll bet that I can predict just who is doing whatg anyway, it will be fun trying. Here goes.

In the fall she weds a professor from the Venusian University. Well, that takes care of all my predictions and now, as I climb into my super-sonic rocket ship preparing to take off into the wild blue yonder, I wonder how close I came to guessing the class, occupations.
