It is close to being over But our memories are sweet Of the fruitful years we spent here And the aims we made complete. We have almost reached the end of our long, winding, trail and to guide us around the last bend of the trail we chose Thomas Hennessy as President, Robert Charbonnier as Vice-Presi- dent, Deborah Brown as Secretary, and Elizabeth Bamford as Treasurer. Our first project of the year was a cake sale which was held in November. After running this we found we had $120 more in our treasury. Deborah Brown, editor of “The Holten”, did an excellent job in bringing us a magazine filled with many interesting articles and stories. After a frantic struggle to meet the deadline our very active board of editors brought us our newly named yearbook, “The Cornelian”. In November the Danvers Jaycees ran an essay contest with the theme “I Speak for Democracy”. Marlene Norton represented the Senior Class by winning third prize in the contest. “Around the World in Eighty Days” was the theme of our Senior Prom which was held January 24 at the Great Oak School. Lou Marino provided the music for the occasion. The evening was hi-lighted by the drawing of the queen and her court. Those chosen were Sandra Hanson, Judy Bills, Sandra Cassese, Sally Thompson, Betty Bamford, and Joyce Pelletier and Sally Bernard as queen. Thomas Hennessy and Sally Bernard led the grand march. “Meet me at the Prom” was the name of our Senior Play which was presented on March 14. Under the able direction of Mr. Russell the cast composed of: Patricia Couhig, Marilyn Wat- kins, Atlee Caldwell, Judith Denningham, Deborah Brown, Nancy Wilichoski, John Casey, Carl Crossman, Thomas Hennessy, Angelo George, Martha Ann Pennock, Barbara Wiggin, Robert Duffy, Jean Russell, Henry Blackler and Denise Christian made the play a great success. Betty Bamford was elected by the class t3 receive the Daughters of the American Revo- lution, Good Citizen Award. We are now approaching the end of the trail and are looking forward to graduation and our reception. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SEATED: Mr. Dunn, Principal.

Here as Juniors we returned now With our purpose more sincere, As the years were getting shorter Thus our goal became more clear. We had now passed the half-way mark in our trail. As upperclassmen we enjoyed many new privileges and renewed our promise to study hard. The officers elected this year were as follows: President, Thomas Hennessy; Vice-Pesident, Robert Charbonnier; Secretary, Marilyn Watkins; Treasurer, Deborah Brown. These officers had a very successful year. This year we had six members of our class represented in the Student Council. They were: Nancy Wilichoski, Nancy Sheldon, Douglas Wood, Robert Charbonnier, Thomas Hennessy, and Beverly Hearn. We held a very successful car wash, in May, in the school yard. Many students turned out to help and we earned $51.50. A wet time was enjoyed by all. The Junior Prom was held on March 29th at the Great Oak School and many students attended. The theme was “Springtime in Japan”. The music was supplied by the “Black and Whites”. Janice McLaughlin was chosen queen of the prom and her court were: Judy Dwyer, Sally Thompson, Sharon Theiling, Deborah Brown, Betty Leavitt, and Sandra Hanson. In sports Douglas Wood and Lou Alberghini were chosen as co-captains of next year’s football team. Deborah Brown was chosen Editor-in-chief elect of “The Holten” for next year. Betty Bamford from Middleton was chosen to go to Girls’ State held at Bridgewater State Teachers’ College. John Hilyard was chosen from Middleton and Robert Charbonnier from Danvers to go to Boys’ State held at the University of Massachusetts. They all enjoyed themselves, meeting new friends and learning about democracy and how our country is run. Many juniors were in- cluded in the driving classes this year and it was with pride and joy that they pre- sented their pink temporary licenses to their classmates and somewhat more gray- haired teachers. As we round a bend in our trail we see at last our goal. There not far away is our senior year and the sum- mit of our travels. Our Class Photographer Allan Wylie Page Twenty-five
