President Vice President Secretary Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS James Budd Patricia Allen Blanche Benn Betty Hayden The class of 1944 this year had fifty members: forty-two from Holbrook and eight from Brookville. There are twenty-five in the college division and also twenty-five in the commercial division. This is the second year in a row that the two divisions of the Sophomore Class have had the same number of members. Among those who left were Hugh “Hector” MacDonald, now going to trade school in Quincy; Paul O’Brien, to the First National Store in Braintree; John Vascovitch, to work; and Rosalie MacGaffigan who moved to Roxbury. We gained Betty Youngholm from Weymouth and Anne Berg from Waltham. The Sophomores on the girls’ basketball team were Lena Smith, Gloria Hagerty, and Patricia Allen, who played with the first team; and Barbara Smart, Claire Cote, and Helen Kayian on the second team. This is the first time in many years that there were no sophomores on the boys’ basketball team. An assembly consisting of local talent of dancing, vocal, and instrumental music, was sponsored by this class for the May assembly.

JUNIOR CLASS NEWS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Victor Hogan Elizabeth Card Alma Mann Madeline Lyons To tell vou the truth, the Junior Class has had a tough session of school this year. This has been the hardest, but all will agree it has been the most fun of any. The class made a wonderful representation in the world of basketball. It had that wit of all wits. Windy Hollis, in there pitching, that tall he-man t pe. Russell Chandler, with all his superb baskets, and that rushing tornado. Bill Bagley. The Junior Class served a “super-duper” lunch one day in the lunchroom on which was made approximately five dollars. And then that big event of all events, the Junior Prom on April tenth. It was a true statement that it was the most successful one in years. The hall was beautifully decorated with white calla lilies, a large basket of them being at each end of the hall. On the stage the Bay Staters gave a not-to-be-forgotten evening of music. The officers’ parents and the teachers were chaperons. The big event of the evening was the Grand March led by Victor Hogan, the president of the class. Virginia Beach was his partner. AH in all it was a wonderful Prom, and the Juniors are proud of it. To add to the juniors this year we have five newcomers, Muriel Berg, Dorothy Doble, James Given, and Albert and Enoch Lehtinen. Lots of luck to all of you.
