HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1963 The Class of 1963 entered H. H. S. as freshmen in the fall of ' 59. With a little help from Mr. Letts and Mr. Drew, our class advisors, we put our best foot forward and with Rick Cahoon, President; Dave Coleman, Vice President; Jane Donnelly, Secretary; and Bill Jussila, Treasurer, we formulated one of the few class constitutions. Having decided to expand our social life, our heads came together which resulted in a Valen¬ tine dance, Cupid ' s Caper. Although we lost Danny MacDonald, Richard Adams, James Smith, Reggy Speight, Charles Caldwell, Carlton Ellis and David Coleman, we were blessed with the beauty of Janet Swanson, the suaveness of Neal Hanlon and the reserved nature of Robert Hall. The following year with a little more experience and as very sophisticated sopho¬ mores, we found ourselves under the care of Mr. LaFrenier and Mr. Colbert. The loud¬ est and biggest success of the social year was another dance, The Roaring 20’s. Elected officers were Peter Jorgensen, President; Erica Higgins, Vice President; Diane Crowell, Secretary; and Bill Jussila again Treasurer. Following a fine but short summer vacation, we returned as juniors under the super¬ vision of Mr. Ebbett. We lost Gloria Gauthier, Mary Jane Falla, Penny Ellis and Kathy Derwin but gained Karen Nickerson and Laurie Dutch. To lead us were Peter Jorgensen as President, Jane Donnelly as Vice President, Erica Higgins as Secretary and Bill Jussila as Treasurer. Because we were frantic for money, our activities included two dances and two car washes. One of the most important events in our high school careers was receiving class rings in December. May arrived very quickly, and we rushed hecticly to complete prep¬ arations for the Junior Prom. It was called Fantasia and was a gala affair. As the year drew to a close, Irene Packard and Bill Jussila became marshals for graduation exercises, while many of us sang in the chorus. September came, and we were glad to be Seniors as last. Mrs. Ford was at the helm this year. Absent from our ranks at the beginning of and during the school year Barbara Trott, Nancy Eastman, Manley Boyce and Diane Crowell. However, Diane Hildebrand was a welcome addition to the class. Officers for our Senior year were Peter Jorgensen as President, Robert Hall as Vice President, Betsy Gardner as Secretary and, naturally, Bill Jussila as Treasurer. Our first activity was the class play, The Admirable Crichton, under the capable direction of Mr. LaFrenier. Rehearsals were long and tedious, but the play was an enormous success. The next venture was a Christmas Dance. Decorations were mar¬ velous, but few came that evening to enjoy them. Much to our amazement and enjoyment, April 15th rolled around and most mem¬ bers of the class boarded a bus which took us to Providence. From there we went by train to Washington for four days and then to New York for one. We returned home all too quickly, exhausted but happy. Getting back to the daily routine, we started to pre¬ pare for graduation and class day. We stand today in caps and gowns on the threshold of our long-awaited graduation wondering about the past four years which have gone by so quickly. As we go our sepa¬ rate ways, we wish to thank all our teachers and parents who have patiently encouraged and helped us during our school life. Robert Hall and Donald Perkins
