The picture will not be on canvas but X . in other people's minds . . . a living record of i you. To us, as Seniors, lies the task of painting that picture. We will use the lessons and ex- , periences we have known at Grafton High as l our guiding hand. l The Faculty and Administration are the art teachers, giving us the necessary base and lines to use. From these teachers we have found one master, and have i paid tribute to him. We will never be able to repay all the kindnesses and favors to the staff, but we will be a mirror of their teachings. Color is also needed in a fine painting, so it is important that we include in our picture activities, sports, club, and other extracurricula. The underclass- men are the student artists, learning still what tools they are to use later on. Advertising is another part of our book. This too is imperative. We need backers and supporters in all endeavors of life. This theme has fit in well I believe, with our objectives, and we depart to paint our masterpiece in life. W . We, the Class of 1956, proudly and happily dedicate the 1956 Compass to you, Mr. john Ahlin, the master painter. It will be your high standards, your teachings, both classroom and those in life, that will guide us as we make our way into the World. We will never forget your Warm smile, friendly hand, and kind words. With the hope that our lives will paint the same type of picture that yours has painted, we leave Grafton High with high goals for the future. ematiax MR. HARRY HILYARD Superintendent V!

During these four past years the class of 1956, together with its advisors, has endeavored to create a worthy tradition to bequeath to future classes. In September, 1952, we gathered at Grafton High School to begin our work. We plotted the basic lines of our chef-d'oeuvre and commenced our earnest attempts to be a model class. The seniors held the traditional Freshman Reception featuring an all- male beauty contest and John Matuszek's accordion, after which we all felt we belonged. Our trip to the Worcester County Courthouse, under the direction of Mr. Garfunkel and Mr. Ahlin, showed us our court system at work and was fun as well. As we neared the end of the academic year, our class trip became the major topic of conversation. We finally decided to go to Whalom Park on june 5. All too soon the sad good-byes to the Class of 1953 were followed by cries of See you next year . . . when we're Sophomoresf, The major project in our Sophomore year was the Sophomore Hop. After discussing at length the idea of an original name, we finally decided that it just wouldn't be the same without calling it the Sophomore Hop. We held it late in April. As the year sped by we began to look toward our class trip to Nantasket Beach. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, rounding our second year. With the autumn leaves came an increasing anxiety to get going on our junior year projects. We began planning for the Harvest Hop, our first dance, which was success- fully conducted on November 17. For the junior Cabaret, which was our next pro- duction, two one-act comedies were chosen. On April 29 High School Dazel' directed by Mrs. Lowell and His First Shave directed by Mr. Ahlin, were presented. Never to be forgotten were jimmy Bruso on roller skates and Gail O,Bara's Hilton Hop. Our junior Class held a Reception and Tea for the Class of 1955, in the cafeteria on May 27, which proved very successful. On june 2 the first members of the National Honor Society were installed at impressive ceremonies in the auditorium by the mem- bers of the Shrewsbury Honor Society. The three members of the junior Class who were chosen were Lois Ohman, Linda Madison, and joan Whitney. The big event of the year was our junior Prom. Carole Morrison volunteered to be the general chair- man, and joe Veghte was in charge of decorations. Ebb Tide was the theme and almost everyone in the class helped in some way to make the prom', the success it was. On june 3 Joey Park's orchestra played from the deck of a mighty Nordic ship, opposite the pink shell throne where Queen Carol Bouthillette reigned amid many exotic and fantastic creatures of the sea. Since we had enjoyed our trip to Nantasket talents to those of our new associates and begin creating once more. CLASS HISTGRY so very much the previous year, we decided to return and once more enjoy the sun and the sea. It scarcely'seemed possible that three years had already passed and that we would soon be leaving the hallowed halls of Grafton High. Work had already begun on the Compass under the expert direction of Linda Madison, Editor-in-Chief. We held a Freshman Reception on September 50 complete with stag performance and refresh- ments. Many hours of hard work went into Dear Ruthf, our Senior Play. Directed by Miss Doyle, the tworact comedy was held on December 22. It was a night never to be forgotten! The Class of 1956 held the first Senior Ball on December 28 in the gym. Again joey Parlis orchestra provided the music and we all danced around a huge Christmas Tree in the center of the floor. We all enjoyed our spring trip to Boston with Mr. Sandberg. This trip served a two-fold purpose . . . education and enjoyment. Through the year there are two magic names in the Senior's vocabulary . . . Class Night and Graduation. It is to this end we have all stood together all the trials and tribula- tions and enjoyed with each other the hard-won A's and the good times of our four years at Grafton High. Our work is ended. We stand at the threshold looking back for a moment at the picture we have painted. Now we must go on, to a new easel, where we will add our 1953 Preridefzi Vice Preridefzl Secretary Trenrzzrei' ADVISORS Miss Cole Mrs. Lowell Mr. Lewis Mr. Sullivan STUDENT COUNCIL Charlotte Benoit Rosemarie Buzzell 1955 Prefidelzl Vice Preridefzf Set'relm'y Treafzlrer ADVISORS Miss Cole Mr. Sanberg Mrs. Lowell STUDENT COUNCIL Linda Madison John Macker Beverly Vogeley Rosemarie Buzzell Richard Fields Carolyn Mack Dorothea Carlson Starr Tupper Miss Noyes Mr. Wheeler Mr. Prentiss Mr. Ahlin Lois Ohman Michael Renaud Dorothea Carlson Carol Bouthillette Mr. Sullivan Mr. Sanberg 1954 Richard Fields Carolyn Mack Dorothea Carlson Starr Tupper Joan jackson Rosemarie Buzzell john Macker 1956 Frank Fletcher john Macker Dorothea Carlson Beverly Vogeley Dexter Pond Lois Ohman Beverly Vogeley Dorothea Carlson Frank Fletcher J R.

The mural was of the graduating class of 1956 from Grafton High School. On the back of the picture was an inscription. It reads as follows: We, the Senior Class of 1956, being of questionably sound mind, do hereby decree this as our last will and testament.

I was a secretary for a book publisher and she was the governess for the Vander- bilts who were in Paris on vacation. We agreed to have lunch at a cafe. While sitting there talking about old times, a waiter came up and said, Bonjour Mademoiselles, qu'estce que vous voulez manger? We looked up and there was joe Veghte. I-le had a little goatee and wore a bright red tam. We just couldn't believe our eyes. joe was always quite a guy and we weren't too surprised to see him there. Across the street we saw a very elegant dress shop called La Mademoiselle Suzanne Shoppe. That made us think of Susan Clark who had always wanted to be a dress Cle- signer. When loe came back with our order we asked him who ran the shop and sure enough it was Susan. We ran over to see her and there with her was Cynthia I-lilyard in a beautiful white gown created by Sue. Cynthia had gone to Conover School for Model- ing and was a famous Parisian model. We left after a while and started to walk down the Rue de la Paix on the way to the hotel. Out of a side street roared a snappy sports car with jim Bruso at the wheel. He stopped and informed us that he and Ed Blanding had entered their sports cars in com- petition in Mantes. I asked him who designed their cars and he replied Pat Dolan. She had become a world famous designer of these fast cars. We said good-bye and continued on our way. just as we were about to cross the street, a whole fleet of bicycles came zooming around the corner. Leading the procession were joane and johnny Macker. They were both physical education teachers and were leading a group of high school students through Europe. Back in the hotel Bev and I decided we would meet the next day at a left bank art exhibit. As I went to the desk to check for mail, I noticed at tall, slim man standing with his back to me. He seemed familiar to me so I asked the hotel clerk who he was. He replied that it was the American Ambassador to France, Mr. Fletcher. Sure enough, there was Frank Fletcher in person. We could have talked for hours but it was getting late so he asked Bev and I if we would like to go to a Masquerade Ball. Not being sure of our plans I agreed to call him later. Finally I returned to my room and the phone rang. It was the operator and she asked if this were Room 431, and if Miss Negus or Miss Lemay were there. Sleepily I replied no and crawled back into bed. Suddenly I jumped up-Miss Negus and Miss Lemay! My curiosity aroused, I called the desk clerk and asked him if there were people in the hotel by that name. He said yes, in Room 451. I put on my house coat and ran down the hallway to the elevator. When Arlene answered my pounding, she and I started laughing because we just couldn't believe our eyes. In our conversation she informed me that they were going to teach until next june. We decided to meet in the dining room for breakfast. After eating breakfast together, Bev and I went to the art gallery. In the first section we saw some contemporary paintings. The first had a white background with splotches of red. This reminded us of Billy Noe with his red hair who wanted to become a plas- terer. The next painting was a group of pencils and a pad of paper. This study brought to mind the many secretaries in our class. Carolyn Mack was a secretary for State Mutual along with Gloria Richard and joan McNamara. Carol Barber was a medical secretary and Barbara Cooper, Marie Croteau, and Gail Francis worked for the Navy at Bainbridge, Maryland. Brenda French was a secretary for a large hat company in New York. jane Poirier really had a big break. She was with Richard Stank's Travel Agency in California and traveled all over the world expanding his business. jackie Zaleski and Arlene Pichette worked in an atomic plant in Nevada. Next we went upstairs and here were the old mas- ters themselves. The painting of a big tycoon made us think of David Bull who had in- herited a great deal of money and I might add was a well-known playboy. We moved to the next oil and there was a soldier who reminded us of Eugene Nicalek, a general in the Marines. The next painting was a portrait of a beautiful black horse and a dark- haired girl riding him. The only person we could think of was Debbie Adams, who al- ways had been a lover of horses. Then we noticed a gorgeous portrait of two nurses, and we were instantly reminded of Dot Carlson and Carole Morrison, Ann Lindblad and Carole Lindblad with their many hair-raising experiences in the field of nursing. It was 1:15 and we decided to have lunch and who should we meet but Joan Whitney, who was a professor at a private school in Paris. just as we were finishing lunch, Perley Goddard, Don Sarkisian, and Don Nelson walked by. Isn't this a small world. They were with the Agriculture Department making a study on dairies. We returned to the hotel and I read in the paper that Carol Bouthillette, Virginia Mis, and Dolly Vandal were Medical secretaries for a well-known heart specialist. I was very happy for them. When I got to my room the phone was ringing. I answered it and Arlene asked me if I would like to attend a musicale that night. The show was held at a very swanky hall and guess who was the star? None other than Marlene Alsop, the songstress of our class. After the show, we stopped at the Moulin Rouge and there we met janet Doane. She had majored in English and was here as an interpreter. The following day I went for a walk into the art section of Paris with its sidewalks filled with young artists. While admiring a painting, Alvin Clark recognized me and told me that he was here studying art and had been quite successful. In my hotel room later I turned on the radio and heard a tournament. Listening more closely I learned that it was a golf tournament and Peter Nydam was playing. He had always enjoyed golf but we never expected him to turn pro. I went for another Walk, for it's the only way to see Paris. I ran into Frances johnson and Lois Ohman, who were nurses with the Army. I talked to them for a while and then continued. I soon came to a park and being tired, sat down. I had company on the bench and to my surprise it was Edith Pluff and Bob Phillips. They were on their way to the Olympics. Edith was a swimming star and Bob played basketball. That night I just rested and in the morning I really felt better. Today was the day I had to return home. I was sorry I couldn't go to the Ball with Frank and Bev but C'est la vie! As my baggage was packed, I departed for the Airport. Two airline hostesses were there, Sandy Paine and Rosemarie Buzzell. Sandy was to be on my plane and Rosie was flying to England. After I was seated on the plane I found out that Don Putnam was the pilot and Dick Fields was his co-pilot. Looking out the window I spotted Norman White, the head mechanic. Sitting next to me was June Marsden, who I found out worked for a big jeweler in New York and had been sent to Paris on business. I also saw Steve May, was was with an engineering firm. Dan Whitney was there too. He had become an expert on Foreign Affairs. I was home at last. just as I was getting off the plane, I saw Otis Wetherbee, who had been one of the plane crew. In the airport building Mike Renaud and Arlene Swanson hailed me. Mike was a traveling salesman and Arlene was on her way to the Antarctic to do some mis- sionary work. Marie Reed appeared from nowhere and told me she was waiting for one of her students to arrive from France. She taught hairdressing. Outside my publisher's office I spied Judy Haight and Irene Kearnan, who were work- ing in New York as bookkeepers. When I got into the office Dick Scholl was there. He was a wild life conservationist and had written a book about it. Gwen Smith accompanied him as she was to do the illustrations. Sam johnson had driven them from Grafton in another of his rods, Here in New York as in Paris you are apt to meet anyone, and I always do. For there was Linda Madison, a very successful contemporary artist. She was doing a mural at the Pentagon and was using Sergeants First Class Dexter Pond and Bradley Ragani as models. My vacation well spent, I walked to the railroad station to take the train home. I had many wonderful things to think about and I hope someday I will write a book containing them. I shall call it The Memoirs of '56. Gail O'Bara CLASS MOTTO What we are to be, we are now becoming. CLASS FLOWERS Red Rose and Baby's Breath. CLASS COLORS Red and White.

You have added much to your painting, and as you complete it next year, our wish is that you do it with much thought. We have enjoyed working with you and we have learned together how important youth is to the world. We leave you with the leadership of G.H.S. Take care of it and make your final painting a tribute to our school. Happiness, success, and luck to you in your Senior Year. SOPHGMORE CLASS You have filled in your sketch with new courage and subjects this year and your work is in plain view. We hope that we have in- fluenced you in the right ways and set high standards for you to meet. Some day soon you will be the artist who has finished his training and who is prepared to set forth paint- ing his life's picture. Learn the principles for it is these principles that will make you a suc- cess in life. F RESHMAN CLASS To you, our little sisters and brothers, there will always remain a special place in our hearts. We have laughed and learned with you during your beginning apprenticeship as the painter of your life's story. You have drawn a rough sketch and chosen the basic pattern of your picture. Remember every mark you make is charted forever and cannot be erased. Work hard and be proud of Grafton High and yours will be a masterpiece.
