As lowly Freshmen, we were classed as runners-up in the Inter, lass Basketball Tournament, playing the title game against the Mighty Seniors and losing by only two points. Also many candidates for all the sports ap| eared al practice from our class. Although the boys lost the championship by two points, our girls came through l , win the Cirls’ Tournament.

JUNIOR YEAR President: Vice President: Secretary: T reasurer: Student Council Representative: 'Francis Filosa Henry Martanuik Shirley Reynolds Paul Laskey Jane Bogle Sponsors: Miss Kingsbury. Miss Barton. Mr. Byers The Junior year was the second biggest year of the four years for us. It brought litany new problems and expenses to our attention. For Stunt Night, we presented “What Hartford High School Would Do If A Atomic Bomb Was Dropped On Us.” We walked away with second prize for this presentation. The biggest activity of the year was the Junior Prom. We proved to all that we had talent in our class, for our Prom was the biggest success in many years of Proms at Hartford High. We received our long-awaited class rings, and chose our class colors of green and white. Caine the beloved month of June and when Joseph Choquette handed the key to our class president, it was one of the biggest moments of our lives, for then we were officially Mighty Seniors.” SENIOR YEAR President: Vice President: Secretary Treasurer: Student Council Representative: John Goodrich Putnam Peabody Jane Bogle Richard Lawrence Henry Martaniuk Sponsors: Mr. Gates. Miss Barnet Our football team brought gladness and sadness to us this year. With so many Senior boys on the team, the Senior Class was rooting for them at every game. And we can’t help wondering how the coach is going to get along without them next year. The enterprising play put on by the Senior Class, “The Youngest, was one even the most critical of critics enjoyed. Again our class set an all-time high record by obtaining, under the able leadership of Richard Lawrence, the largest amount of money for Yearbook advertisements in the history of Hartford High School. We awakened the tradition of the Senior Ball by holding a successful formal in March. We were entertained by the Yacht Club Orchestra and dazzled by the elaborate decorations. Suddenly the month of June was upon 11s with all its haste and worries. Now that we are about to graduate, we are beginning to reminisce about the work, good limes, laughter, and even the few tears which we shall remember always. Dave Burcess Dick Choquette [21 ]
