O I . , V- : 1 . . f . -. . . . u , - 14 rem! 0 MA? come Mr Buker 'Mfr Bubar Nfembers of the School Commrttee Faculty Alumm and Frrends My happy task and pnvllege thxs evemng rs to welcome you to these graduation exerclses the last for Holden Hugh School This occasion Ends our class wrth mlxed emotrons of sadness and Joy of fear and conhdence NVe are sad because we are bnddmg farewell to our faculty and classmates to many close assoclatlons at Holden Hugh School We are saymg Good bye to persons and scenes and actnrtres that have played so rmportant a part m the best wears of our hves YVe now realrze that the breakmg of old tres rs most dlfficult even for us young people whose eyes have already glornhed our future careers We are joyful thls evemng because we have fimshed the work to whxch we set our tremblmg freshman hands four years ago We have attamed the goal toward whrch we have gxven our best effort and Joy resxdes rn the personal satrsfactron of a Job well done Our diplomas wtll afford us that gratrficatlon and lrfe wxll be all before us as we choose But as we look forward to our next step after graduatxon our hopes and desxres are tmged wxth a colormg of fear We shall be asked to take our place ln the amazmg era m whrch we l1ve We shall be challenged to utxhze the sclentxfic progress of our age to brmg happmess mto the world Can vou wonder then why we hesxtate for a fearful C C moment before entermg that future But rt ns for only a moment for our background at Holden Hugh School has made us confident Much wlll be expected of us 111 the solutron of the tremendous problems faung our country Much wxll be thrust upon us because there 1S nowhere else to turn for help and guxdance but to the youth of our natxon Indeed the leadershxp that we provlde ln the anxlous months and years ahead wlll determme the course of world events for the next generation for the rest of thxs century We are wlllmg and ready to face thus challenge of leadershrp because ot our rmplxcxt fanth an the educatronal trarnmg of Holden Hlgh School We realrze the burden of responsibility but we are confident that lts werght w1ll never be too great for our foundahon has been establrshed and strengthened by the trreless and skrllful efforts of our teachers to whom we are most grateful In partrcular may I say a word of thanks mn behalf of the Class of 1954 to our prrncrpal Mr Bubar Hrs patience wtth our many msrstent questrons and prob lems and hrs great eagerness to prepare us for future success are but two of the numerous quahtres that make our prmcrpal an example to us all In conclusion may I quote from George Bernard Shaw Life IS no brxef candle to me It IS a sort of splendld torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make lt burn as brzghtly as possrble before handmg rt on to future generatnons 5 'D iivxfcil Educatron rn Holden 17411954 The direction rn wbzch educatum starts a man wzll determme his future l Next fall wxll mark the begrnmng

' Cfaaa .js-Aafory In the tall of 1950 an eager ambmous group entered Holden Hlgh School We were all anxxous to make good and after becoming accustomed to the school s rules and regulations we enthusrastlcally participated rn varrous actxvxtles By the tlme the leaves had turned color and the cool weather had set m there were a good number of frosh who had worked hard m the football tryouts but none were able to make the team The grrls who made their mark rn hockey were Iudrth Forsberg Carol Hyland, and Cynthia Freeland By thrs txme the Student Councxl was orgamzed and Stephen Anderson Robert Page and Gaxl Van Rxper attended the sesslons as our freshmen repre- sentatlves When the funds from the magazme dnve had been talhed our homerooms were found to be rn second and third places and to the envy of the other classes Gordon Cole recewed a Bulova watch m the draw We plodded along through the wmter months and after basketball tryouts we found sxx of our boys on the second team, namely Gerald Hyland Robert Page James Layman Tony Buthray Gary Harrmg ton and Conrad Polrner In gurls basketball Judnth F orsberg was the sole freshman to make the second team Also at thas trme there were theatncal mterests strrrlng rn the school and under the skillful gurdance of Nfxss Prxce our popular and successful travelllng assemblv team was formed Among the members were two freshmen to show the out of towners what we could do We were very happy when sprmg arrxved and really looked forward to our summer vacahon Prov mg that we werent so dumb after all there were thxrty two freshmen on the honor roll We all looked forward to succeedmg years when we could sponsor some socral functrons After a refreshmg vacatlon we plunged enthusras tlcally mto our second year To start off the follow Vrce Presndent James Layman Secretary Shirley I'ourmer and Treasurer Davld Cole Some of the gxrls Jomed the dramatic club under the experxenced hand of Mrs Smrth, and Eve of our boys made the football team mcludmg james Lay man Stephen Anderson Paul Dowd Tony Buthray and Herbert Sherwin Sxx girls made the second team rn hockey and played an excellent game through out the season This year our student council members were Judxth Howe James Layman and Stephen Anderson Our freshman year was prrmarnly a get acquainted year now we felt that we were old trmers around the school We started the wmter term by hltermg mto such varying fields as the Clarion staff the operetta the assembly team and the girls and boys basketball teams When Mrs Smrth called for Prlze Speakmg can dldates there was a good sophomore response and we all showed up well By non there was no more sectnonahsm We had nearly forgotten what grammar school other students had attended and developed a real team spnrxt This year we sadly parted with Stephen Anderson James Layman and Robert Page All three boys hate attended other schools When the honor roll was listed this sprmg there were twenty eight sophomore names to be found on at That June we wearlly lard down our pencils and books thankfully contemplating our enjoyable sum mer to come The next fall we entered an even busier year We started by electing Falth Bascom as our presrdent Davxd Cole as vrce president Shrrley Fourmer as secretary and Gary Harnngton as treasurer The furst social functron of the year whxch we sponsored was the football dance It had faxrly good attendance and we happily stored more money mto the treasury This fall there were erght jumor boys who were domg outstandmg work for us on the football fxeld The grrls were stlll holdmg thelr own wrth four makmg the varsxty hockey team The student councnl was launched by a new advtsor thxs year Mr Laprade-whom we all commend for hrs fine work The representatives thls year were Marxlyn Estey Audrey Kmg Gary Harrmgton and Davrd Cole They helped considerably m makmg thus an actxve group The year before we had shown a theatrical tendency thrs year we went all out w1th an excellent repre sentatlon m the travelling assembly team the all state concert group the speech club and the Grange Prnze Speakmg group On the basketball court we had Mxchael Morrissey Gerald Hyland Gary Harrmgton Edward Berry and Gordon Cole sparking us on to vlctory As for the gurls varslty basketball half of the team was composed of Jumors In the sprmg came the brggest social event of all the much talked about Junlor Prom We all worked very hard those last few days ln decoratmg the gym Mardn Gras style The finished product was really well worth the effort as everyone commended our work The vsalls were covered wxth gay masks sceptres and trumpets and there was a mass of streamers and balloons overhead Everyone danced the night away rn perfect happmess Now that we had become soclal butterllles we had even more reason to be exhausted when summer rolled around We showed that we could really keep up the scholastxc end wnth a good representation on the honor roll 'lhe tragedy whxch struck Holden last June cer tamly brought out the best tralts ln many of the townspeople mcludmg the members of the semor class centers and the boys worked wxth the crews whxch cleared the wreckage We certamly put ln

paper drrve whlch topped the all tune record and gamed a great deal toward the class trrp The campaign was continued by the presentation of an entrrely drfferent semor play a suspense drama which was very successful as well as novel On the athletxc front the semor boys and glrls agam skillfully dommated the scene Fxnally we arrived at the one event toward which we had drrected all our energres and money-durmg the past three years Wnth a great deal of happmess and excitement we embarked upon the class trap to New York A gulded tour through the city the Broadway musrcal Wonderful Town and vanous

years ago It therefore seems appropr1ate that we t11rn back the pages of h1story to the year 1880 for a brief look at those early events In March of that year the Town of Holden aware of the sp1r1t of asp1rat1on pervadmg our schools and the 1I'lCl'Q3Sll1g number of good scholars 1n town authorlzed the estabhshment of a h1gh school The school was opened for the sprmg term w1th M1ss Corneha Thurston

to move to larger quarters and 1n September of that vcar Holden H1gh School moved to the second f1oor of the Damon Nfemorlal Bu1ld1ng wh1ch had been erected to house both a lxbrary and the h1gh school Enrollment that first year was th1rty seven Mr Learned had the help of one ass1stant It s recorded that students were much 1nsp1red by the1r beaut1ful surround1ngs the broad SYBIFCZSC colored bulls

was to keep educatnonally abreast of the t1n1es A comm1ttee was appo1nted to cons1der the matter of larger quarters and 1n 1925 the town voted to erect a new h1gh school The or1g1nal h1gh school was purchased by the late Dr Frank Wash burn and moved to 1tS present locat1on on Boyden Road wh1le preparatxons were made for the erectlon of the new h1gh school on 1lS former Slte In June 1926 th1s bu1ld1ng was dedlcated as the Alonzo K learned H1gh School 1n honor of IIS former pr1nc1pal and the graduatmg CXEFCISCS of the class of 1926 were held here 1' he school was opened 1n September w1th
