The HAMILTONIAN 9 CLASS HISTORY I N September 1933, we, the present seniors, became the meek seventh graders, as well as the second class to enter that grade after the opening of the new school. Time passed quickly and soon we found ourselves in the eighth grade. In the latter part of this year, we took a trip, under the supervision of Miss Anderson, our history teacher, through Concord, Lexington, and Sudbury, where we saw many inter- esting, as well as historical, places. As the next year rolled upon us, we became the gay freshmen. An out- standing feature of this year was the choosing of our class pins. They had a gold head of Alexander Hamilton, on a background of green and a guard bearing the class date of graduation from the junior high. We took an- other trip, under the supervision of Miss Anderson, visiting many places of historic interest in Boston. Dur- ing the year, we had a class party with Miss Anderson and Mr. Payne as chaperons. We played games and had refreshments and all went home happy as well as full of cake and ice cream! In June 1936, we received our diplomas and bade farewell to our junior high teachers; Miss Ander- son, Miss Hagglund, Mrs. Ramer, Miss Ready, Mr. Progin, Mr. Bowden, Miss Barker, and Miss Featherstone. When we became the sophomores in the senior high we realized that we were up against a different situa- tion and must really buckle down to work ; however, we managed to make a success of it. We chose our class officers as follows : President, George Sprague, Vice President, Isabelle Peale, Secretary, Myrtle Allen, Treas- urer, Bernard Greeley. During the year, we held a class social ; much fun and entertainment was enjoyed, ending with plenty of good eats. The day after school was out in June a large group of sopho- mores, with Mr. Payne and Mrs. C. F. Poole, as chaperons, sailed to Prov- incetown and back on the S.S. STEET- PIER. We had a very fine time and there were only a few cases of sea- sickness. In the evening, the group divided and found different sources of entertainment in Boston. In our junior year we chose our class officers as follows : President, Bernard Greeley, Vice President, Isa- belle Peale, Secretary, Myrtle Allen, Treasurer, Norman Dane. We next chose our class rings. They have a gold head of Hamilton set on a black background. Immediately we began discussing our Junior Prom which was to come off May 25, 1937. Due to the fact that the majority of the class knew very little about dancing, we held a social, under the super- vision of Mr. Malone, a few weeks before the Prom; and we were all greatly amused at watching our fel- low classmates attempt to learn to dance. Finally the big event oc- curred. The hall was decorated with silver stars on a blue background with blue and silver streamers hang- ing from the ceiling. The Prom was a grand success and all had a wonder- ful time. As this year was the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Horace Mann, Massachusetts’ first Commis- sioner of Education, a play was given at graduation in acknowledgment of the event, and the juniors were called upon to present it as a fare- well to the seniors. Again a group of seafaring juniors paid another visit to Provincetown with as much enthusiasm as before. At last we became the high and mighty seniors ! As usual, we chose our class officers, this time as follows: President, Norman Dane, Vice Presi- dent, Lsabelle Peale, Secretary, Flor- ence Dunn, Treasurer, Marguerite Bilodeau. This year we had our grad- uation pictures taken before Christ- mas and had a grand time exchang- ing them with our classmates. In the soring of our senior year, a series of class plays v as held on the audi-
