president; Paul Fanning, vice-president; Ann Arathuzik, secretary; and Andy Hurd, treasurer. Mr. Albanese was our class adviser. March: This year the girls took the limelight in athletics. Junior girls on the first team were Priscilla Jackson, Sandra Boardman, Eileen Deschamps, Andrea Hurd, Car- lene Jones, Mary Caskin, Barbara Damon, and Jean Merrill. Marilyn Paine was elected president of the Laeti Latini; Barbara Damon and Richard Balboni were elected to the Band Council. One of the crew, Frank Haggerty, became a celebrity when he went to Hollywood by invitation to appear on “This Is Your Life.” The life they were presenting was the life of Danny Thomas, and Frank went because of a nice letter he had written to Mr. Thomas. April: We held our very successful Junior Prom. The theme, “April Showers,” was carried out by the wonderful decorations made by members of our own class. June: Another part of the voyage had drawn to a close. 1954-1955: The fourth and last part of the voyage September: Once again we embarked on the U.S.S. Holten. but we were a little sad because we realized this was the end of our voyage. Class officers for the senior year were Fred LaMontagne, president; Paul Fanning; vice-president; Carlene Jones, secretary; and Pat Perkins, treasurer. We chose Mr. Dunn our class adviser. December: The Student Council sponsored a Christmas Party in the gym which was very successful. Mr. Ivan Smith, the retired Superintendent of Schools, dressed as Santa Claus, distributed gifts to all the guests. February: Under the title, “Winter Wonderland,” our annual Senior Dance provided an entertaining night for everyone. On the seventeenth, the combined bands of Danvers and Beverly gave an enjoyable concert at the Great Oak School. Much credit for the band’s popularity went to the fine direction of its leader, Mr. Attilio Capra. Some of us had started work on the Senior Play, “You Can’t Kiss Caroline,” under the able supervision of Mr. Edward Pierce. Members of the cast were as follows: Charlie Brown, Gary Couhig, Claire Haynes, Andrea Hurd, Beth Oliver, Sally Spaugh, Barbara Damon, Jimmy Brown, Frank Haggerty, Shirley Ferry, Eileen Deschamps, Joan Powers, Judy Latulippe and Harry Spiliotis. April: The sixth was the seniors’ day off! In the assembly that morning Mr. Dunn announced the honor parts: Valedictorian, Ann Floyd; Salutatorian, Richard Balboni; and Essayist, Jean Merrill. In the afternoon we went to the gym and had a wonderful time playing games and running relay races. June: The sixteenth and the big day at last! Everything went off well — the honor parts, the singing under the direction of Miss Kearns, and the handing out of the diplomas. On the seventeenth we held our reception! The girls looked beautiful in their gowns and the boys were handsome in their dinner jackets. This was to be the last time some of us were to see our friends at D.H.S. We knew we’d miss each other.

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
