CLASS In September, 1956, a group of wide-eyed explorers came into the new World of Education in the Jr.-Sr. High School after having suc- cessfully completed their first six years of education in the grammar school. Several new members from the West School had joined this band. The leader of this little band was Miss Proctor and the first stopping off place was Room 4. The class officers were elected late in Sep- tember. They were as follows: President, Leo Padula: Vice President, Julianne Heller: Secretary, Grace St. George: Treasurer, Raymond Verolini. Others that were elected during the year were: President, Eleanor Burrill: Vice President, Roger Foster: Secretary, William Hidden: Treasurer, Eleanor Butterfield. In order to make money for a picnic at Lake Rohunta at the end of the school year, we sold jello to the other classes at noontime. So ended our first year in the new World of Education. After two months of a much enjoyed vacation, we all returned to see the familiar faces of teachers and classmates. Our home room was again Room 4, with Miss Edmunds, who left us in December, as our lead- er. Miss Nelson took hor place. The class officers for September through December were: President, Roger Foster: Vice President, Elea- nor Burrillg Secretary, Millioont Wade: Treasurer, William Hidden. For January through June, President, Donald Stone: Vice President, Eunice Richards: Secretary, Grace St. George: Treasurer, Leo Padula, took their places. We are no longer nseventh or eighth graders'-awe have finally grown up and are in the senior high. We are still in Room 4, with Miss Cunningham at the head. The class officers that were elected in September were: President, Donald Stone: Vice President, Eleanor Burrill: Secretary, Eleanor Butterfield: Treasurer, Leo Padula. we had the honor to have a grab booth at the Hallowe'en Party. It was in the shape of a skull and crossbones.. Several members of our class took part in the chorus of the operetta, nThe Lucky Jaden. Much to our surprise, we finally have a new home room, Room 3, plus a new teacher, Mr. Karkos. The class officers are President Roger Foster, Vice President Eleanor Burrill, Secretary Martha Harrington,, and Treasurer Leo Padula. Our booth, which won first prize,, at the Hallowe'en Party was a Witch's Broom, in which candy was sold, and was made of straw, the handle being a long pole. In November, we continued the new custom of a Sophomore Hop. Everyone enjoyed the music furnished by Tom Lunetta. During the in- termission a turkey was raffled and at lO o'clock a spot dance was held. The baskets at each end of the hall were filled with balloons. Large clusters of balloons dangled from blue and silver streamers. Another home room! Room 2. As our leader we had Mrs. Fiske, the much-liked French and Latin teacher. Mr. Karkos, who was our home room teacher last year, is now our Principal. The honors of being 3 O

Our last school year in the dear L.HsS. has finally come. Mr- Matheson is our guide, having Room 5 as our home room. A new addition has been made to our class--Belle Russell. The class officers are the same as in the two previous years. A Columbus Day program was given in assembly by the Senior Class. The hu orous life of Colu bus was written and acted by the class with Martha Harrington reading the poem. We are having something new in assembly--real movies such as you would see in a theater. The Seniors decorated the stage and hall for the Hallowe'en Party with corn stalks and pumpkins, with bats, stars, and moon in the background. Much time and effort was put into the Senior Class Play, 'The Mummy and the Mumpsn, which was presented to the public in the L.H.S. auditorium, April 10. Two Sir Hector Fishes, three Miss Agatha Laidlaws, plus a well-minded but stupid servant, Rocker, provided the laughs for the evening. open to Burrill, A Prize Speaking Contest was held April 29 the Junior and Senior Classes.

Many headaches have been caused in order to complete thc yearbook on time, but finally we have it almost finished. The yearbook is being dedicated to Miss May-Estabrook, who was a former teacher of this'school and is still remembered by all. With a much smaller band of explorers than we had when we first entered the nlittle red school housen, we now continue our exploring to Toy Town Tavern for Class Day and to the Methodist Church for Bac- calaureate Sunday. Then comes that big night when we are all handed our diplomas and take our final bows to the public as students, and finally, the Senior Prom--all things we have looked forward to since our first days in the high school. 3 1
