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.

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.
