LOYALTY HONOR SCHOLARSHIP ■ . ®lj£ 38th Year—Number 9 ISSUE Greenfield, Massachusetts, June 18, 1951 Price Ten Cents Seniors Graduate Amid Pomp and Circumstance Seniors Planning Class Gifl Working like mad and racking their brains trying to think of some kind of gift “from the Class of ’51” are the Class Gift Committee. Headed by Richard Pres¬ cott, this group also includes Ed Day, Mary Jo McNicholas, Joe Daniels, Alan Lyman, Butch Britton, Janice Regali, Sheila McDonough, and Peg¬ gy Moran. Work In Secrecy Everything concerned with the project is very secretive, and, when the members meet, the door of Room 23 is bolted tightly. The only element of evidence is a poll of teachers taken some time ago aimed at finding out what the faculty believe an appropriate gift. Neither will the committee divulge information, for most members merely ex¬ claim they are undecided themselves. Further details are to be revealed as soon as possible. Special Entertain¬ ment A Banquet Feature The Senior Class Banquet took place June 14 at 6:30 at the Weldon Hotel. The menu consisted of roast turkey, whipped potato, garden peas, tossed salad, cranberry sauce, rolls, fruit cup, assorted relishes, a beverage, and frozen strawberry sundae. After dinner grace was led by Alan Lyman. Paul Croteau — class presi¬ dent — then gave his after-dinner wel¬ come and opened a short business meeting, the classes last. Entertainment, a skit on this year’s class play, followed. To conclude the banquet the class sang the Class Song. The banquet committee included Rosemary O’Hara, chairman; Betty Preble, Chris Collins, Pauline Bibby, Shirley Koch, June Seyfert, John Smith, and Peter Sak. The Senior Service for the Class of 1951 was held yester¬ day at four o’clock in the high school auditorium. The processional of the members of the Senior Class to the strains of Lee’s “Glo- riana” opened the annual service. The march was played by the high school orchestra under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Francis Carver, GHS Music Director. Rev. John R. Klekotka, pastor of the Sacred Heart Church of Greenfield, de¬ livered the scripture reading and the prayer. This was President of Boston Authors Club To Speak At Graduation Mildred Buchanan Flagg (Mrs. Francis J.) was the main speaker at gr aduation ceremonies Tuesday even¬ ing, June 19, 1951. Mrs. Flagg is president of the Boston Authors Club, and a member of the Public Relations -Committee of the Massachusetts Teachers Federation; she is also the author of “A Boy of Salem,” Plymouth Maid,” “Camera Adventures in English, and “Lad of Old Nantucket,” as well as various magazine articles. An ordinary lecture hall is trans¬ formed when Mildred Buchanan Flagg steps in front of her audience and intro¬ duces her characters against a back¬ ground of current history. One feels the presence of people in the headlines and almost sees her personalities on parade. There is romance, adventure, and nostalgia for her hearers. Time flies on pleasant wings. All too soon the short hour is over but the everyday world holds more interest and hope because of it. By some she is called, “One of the most fascinating person¬ alities on the lecture platform today. followed by a Glee Club se¬ lection — “Holy Is His Name,’’ or “Largo,’’ from “Xerxes.’’ The baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. John F. Harrington, J.C.L., Vice Chancellor Springfield Di¬ ocese. Followin ' Rev. Harring¬ ton’s addr ss, the entire as¬ sembly joined in singing the hymn “Faith Of Our Fath¬ ers.’’ Fr. Klekotka gave the benedi ;tion. Then the recessional to Gounod’s “March P ntificale’’ closed the program. CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, and Friends — The Class of 1951 has given me the honor of welcoming you to this Class Day program. We all know that your patient and constant encouragement has helped us to reach this goal. Today it is most fitting that you may share this mark of recog¬ nition of not only ours but also your triumph. We are happy that you can be with us for these exer¬ cises. Classmates — I am indeed grateful to you for the honor you have given me. This senior year has been pleasant and profitable. We have had special enjoyment in scholastic and ath¬ letic progress.

Good health, luck, and happi¬ ness. May these be yours in the many years to come. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
