Class History It was a happy but somewhat doubtful group of Freshmen who gathered in the halls of Leicester High early in September 1949. Some of us had been here the previ- ous year for the eighth grade, but this was an entirely new experience. As Freshmen we elected, under the able direction of Mrs. Brown, Dale Biehler, President, Kenneth Bohlin, Vice President, Carol Bickford, Sec- retary, Pat Pearsall, Treasurer. That year we spent becoming accustomed to Leicester High and keeping out of the lordly Seniors, way. Much to our regret during the first year we lost Marie Ringgard, Freddy La- Hair, Bob Sandstrom, and Everett Labree. However, we added to our ranks Marilyn Eames, Barbara Wright, Alice Chesmore. NVhen we came back to school in 1950 after a summeris fun we were at least Soph- omores and could ride the freshmen. That year helped by the advice of Mr. Noone we elected as class officers Dale Biehler, Iames O,Donnell, Ellen Kent and Nancy Luoma. That winter We lost Dale Biehler our President who moved to Illinois. Others we lost in our second year were Teresa Kuzmicki, Charlie Harrison, Herbie Maylot, junie Patricks, Alice Chesmore, Barbara Wright, and Bucko Mailea. To make up for this loss Ernestine Girard joined us. At last June rolled around and with it the long awaited Sophomore picnic. We all piled in the bus and were off to Howe Pond for a day of swimming, eating, softball and all- around fun. When we parted for the sum- mer vacation we knew that next year we would at last be upperclassmen. On September 1951 we elected William Lundstrom, President, Kenneth Bohlin, Vice President, Ellen Kent, Treasurer, and Nancy Luoma, Secretary. Pleasant surprise that September was the newcomer Ioan Roberts. The first question turning up was the formidable question of selecting our class rings. After considerable debates and numerous interruptions by Miss Scannell our class advisor, we finally reached a deci- sion. The rings arrived shortly before the holidays. I In january after a short vacation over Christmas we began plans for the big social event of the year-our junior Prom. We elected as committee chairmen: Kenneth Bohlin-General Chairman, William Lund- strom-Chairman Ex oHicio, Lois Stohlberg - Music, Paul Campbell - Photography, Joyce Ring-Refreshments, Connie Page- Publicity, and Ellen Kent-Decorations. Chosen as the theme was An Evening in Paris. The gym was decorated with
