GREETINGS Your high school course is completed but by no means is your Education. You are on the threshold of limitless possibilities; opportunities beckon in many attractive directions. Select wisely and so educate yourself that you will achieve happiness in your choice. You may do that by utilizing each day to its fullest and by knowing that you have done your best. Mistakes no doubt will intrude, but start the next day with the realization that all that is good lies before you and that previous errors must not burden you. Give careful thought to others. Cultivate and practice kindness towards your fellow men. I can think of no greater quality to promote peace and harmony. Kindness in thought and deed will endear you in your relationships, for it is a Divine virtue. My sincere wish is for the best in the future for all the members of the Class of 1955.

DEDICATION After completing four hard but wonderful years at Holten High it is with great pleasure that we look back upon the teachers whom we had during that time. In all the school there is one teacher whom we will remember particularly, and she is Miss Frances G. Wadleigh. Throughout our four years at Ilolten High it has been a pleasure to have had her either for homeroom or for the much required subject of English. As a token of our appreciation to a teacher we will never forget we, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Five, dedicate our yearbook to her. Frances G. Wadleigh

U. S. S. MOLTEN Excerpts from the Ship’s Log 1951- 1952: The first part of the voyage September: At 8:15 on the morning: of the fifth, the voyage began. On that first day everyone crowded into the aft lounge to receive his assigned cabin. What a day! A new life was in store for us for the next four years. Later in the month the senior girls held the Senior-Freshman Party. Senior sisters were appointed to the freshman girls, and pranks and initiations were assigned by Neptune. November: Although not many freshmen played football, Tom Curran, Leo Plante, Stan Sadoway, and Fred LaMontagne were noticed on the freshman squad. January: Until this month not too much happened to us new tars aboard the U. S. S. Holten. We attended the Sweater Benefit, the Sophomore Hop — looking forward to the following year when we could hold our first class dance — and had players on the freshman hockey and basketball squads. On the 23rd we encountered our first epidemic of sea-sickness, mid-year exam- inations! Luckily enough everyone passed through the crisis, but we knew there were many more epidemics to come! June: The end of the first part of the voyage had arrived. We knew now for certain we were going to enjoy life aboard the U.S.S. Holten. 1952- 1953: The second part of the voyage September: Back on board once again we held our first class meeting and elected Fred LaMontagne, president; Tom Curran, vice-president; Ann Arathuzik, secretary; and Carol Ann Vye, treasurer. November: On the tenth we held our ship’s dance, the Sophomore Hop. The “Four Sharps” provided the music, and rockets and heavenly bodies illustrated the theme, “Out of This World.” We think we have done very well under the able supervision of our class adviser, Miss Williams. January: Rising stars among the crew of ’55 were Fred LaMontagne, who appeared to have a promising future on the football team; and Barbara Damon, who had just been elected to a position on the newly-formed Band Council. June: Another part of the voyage had come to the end. We were all saddened by the retirement of Mr. Irving Coates, head of the science department. 1953- 1954: The third part of the voyage September: We had embarked once again and the years seemed to be slipping away very fast indeed. The first thing the crew did as juniors was to hold our class meeting to elect our officers and class advisers. For 1953-1954 they were as follows: Stan Sadoway, Ship’s Log
