THE ECHO 19 5 1 A nervous, hopeful, and somewhat expectant class were we. this Graduating Class of ’51, when we meekly pattered our little feet up and down the cor- ridors on those early d ays in the fall of 1947. W ' e were fifty strong, with thirty-one members in the commercial division and nineteen college pros- pectives. We lost one member in our freshman year — Arthur Seaton. We were lucky enough to gain a mem- ber. though. Danny Woodford from Braintree added to our ’eager-to-succeed” group. Upon electing our class-officers, we found Robert Andrea, president; Thomas Smith, vice-president; Dorothy Rosenburg. secretary; and David McKusick, treasurer. Our two Student Council members were Elinor McGaughey and Leslie Marcus. We conducted five class-meetings that year and chose for our class-colors BLUE AND GOLD with STUDENTS TODAY. LEADERS TO- .’VIORROW as our motto. Our one activity was an assembly, in the form of a Quiz Program. Leslie Marcus was Master of Ceremonies: the judges were Elinor McGaughey. Barbara Ernstrom, and Nancy Fulton. After the quiz program we held community singing. Our leaning towards sports was soon realized when we produced a goodly number to represent us in basketball, baseball, gym, and cheerleading. Elinor McGaughey, Nancy Fulton, Barbara Ernstrom, Char- lotte Colarusso. Jean Austin, and Dorothy Rosenburg were on the girls’ basketball squad; Robert Andrea, Ronnie Johnson. Peter Savoy, William Hanney, Robert Coppolo, Aubrey Loud, and Jimmy Buchonis were on the boys’ team. The gym squad received Eddie Marble, Leon Ayvaz. Paul Taylor, and Jimmy Caspersen. With spring came baseball, and quite a few of us found a weakness for it. Peter Savoy. Aubrey Loud, and Robert Andrea helped our very talented pitcher Jimmy Buchonis to make our coach sit up and take notice of the freshmen! Selma Anderson was the only girl to go out for cheerleading that year. Our first year was over. We were shedding our self-consciousness and anxieties and were arming ourselves and preparing ourselves for the coming year which would find us as SOPHOMORES! I ' he latter part of 1948 found us such. Some had struggled through a hard year of Latin only to be faced with another year plus a new language, French. We were pushing ahead, trying to make a good showing for the year. We started by electing class-officers. Robert Andrea, president; Leslie Marcus, vice-president; Thomas Smith, treasurer, and Elinor McGaughey, secretary. We were represented in Student Council by Dorothy Rosenburg, George Harvey, and William McLaugh- lin. Sports brought forth Robert Andrea, Robert Cop- polo, Aubrey Loud, David MacKusick, Joseph Cas- sani, and Leslie Marcus for basketball. The girls’ squad brought forth Elinor McGaughey, Barbara Ernstrom, Jean Austin, Dorothy Rosenburg, Nancy Fulton, Lorraine Carter, and Charlotte Colarusso. We had David MacKusick, Jimmy Buchonis. and Robert Andrea as representatives to the baseball team. The gym squad received Jimmy Caspersen. This year Selma Anderson was received as captain of the cheer- leaders. Snoops and Scoops, and the Echo, our school paper and yearbook, respectively, received Nancy Fulton, Barbara Ernstrom, Selma Anderson, Lillian Sheurs, Elinor McGaughey, Jean Austin, George Harvey, and Cynthia Reynolds. Our biggest event of the year was the production of two one-act plays, Buddy Buys an Orchid” with Robert Andrea in the title role, Cynthia Reynolds as his mother, and Ruth Feeney, Ralph Calway, and Jean Austin in supporting roles. Miss Kathryn Meg- ley contributed her time and effort to this production. Our second play The Ghost Hunters,” was a combination thriller and comedy, with Elinor McGaughey, Selma Anderson, George Harvey, Rich- ard Colby, Leslie Marcus, and Leo Barry. Miss Dorothy Dunbar was the coach of this production. We held a hot dog sale and a Saint Patrick’s Day dance, both of which were very profitable. Our class lost three members in the latter part of this year — Ray Simmons, Lome Cook, and Ronnie Johnson, but they were replaced by two new mem- bers — Danny Brady from Walpole, and Janice Dow- rey from New Hampshire. Our sophomore year was gone; our junior year lay ahead of us, another year to be too short and to slip by all too quickly. [ 8 ]
