Class Histor Our life at English High School began on a warm September morning in 1956. Looking at the front of the building, the students seemed to be drawn into it by a huge magnet. How did it feel to be one of the 647 odd in the sixteen sophomore homerooms? Do you remember be- ing sent to the auditorium when you were looking for room 204? After several weeks of initiations, things began to quiet down, and we became more familiar with life at L.E.H.S. The football season started off with a bang. Keeping up our tradition of the fighting Bull- dogs, in our final game, we defeated Classical 6-0. As sophomores we had an opportunity to participate in the all school drama. Mrs. Benvie and Miss Ishkanian worked very diligently to produce Our Hearts Were Young and Gayfl As winter progressed and the new year be- gan, our hockey team defended their title and won the State Championship. The basketball team had a fine year, but they were eliminated in the Tech Tourney. Sophomore class officers elected by the student body were Gary Com- fort, President, Diane Cogen, Vice-president, June Babb, Secretary, Bonnie Jean Harthan, Treasurer, and Carole O'Blenes and George Richardson, Executives. As our junior year rolled around we found ourselves one step higher, but by no means su- perior. Beating Classical in the annual Thanks- giving Day game for the sixth time in succes- sion proved to be the highlight of the football season. The Drama Department decided to have a festival, and they produced three equally chal- lenging plays: St. Joan, Cinderella, and Antic Spring. The production of these plays involved over a hundred students. Both the basketball and hockey teams dis- played fine sports ability in our junior year. The hockey team participated in the Massa- chusetts Hockey Tourney and got as far as the quarter finals. Another highlight of the junior year was the Junior Dance. The music was pro- vided by the Horizons, and Bob Arena and Charlene Murphy were crowned king and queen. The junior year hastened on, and, before we knew it, we were beginning our last long vaca- tion. The summer, as usual, passed quickly and in September of '58, we began our reign as sophisticated seniors. After a few weeks, the important feeling everyone had began to wear off. The most important event of the football season was our team's seventh consecutive vic- tory over Classical. Congratulations to Dick Coppola and Bill Stevens on receiving awards for outstanding sportsmanship. Again this year our fabulous basketball team won the Essex County title, and, for the second straight year, we narrowly missed the State Championship. Our hockey team won the Essex County title before being edged out of the State Tourney. On stage at English High, we presented por- tions of Victoria Regina and The Import- ance of Being Ernest. In addition to starring in Our Hearts Were Young and Gay in her sophomore year, Sue Hubbard held the starring role as Victoria Regina. Her co-workers were Richard Cook, Gloria Liftman, Joel Blumsack. Janice Cole, Paul Pureka, and Dean Larkin. James Tibbets, who made a charming prince in Cinderellal' in his junior year, also proved The Importance of Being Ernest. The other stars in 'fThe Importance of Being Ernest were Carole O'Blenes, Louise Thistle, Jill Gif- ford, and Douglas Griffin. There were approxi- mately one hundred students, plus Curley, on the various dramatics committees. Joan Hussey, student Art Director, along with her assistant, Brenda Stacey, added their touch of feminine beauty. Our school offers no greater honor to a student than membership in the National Honor Society. Elected to this stellar group as juniors and now holding office are the following: Brian Burns, President, Diane Cogen, Vice-Presi- dent, Carole O'Blene and Judith Schwartz, Co-secretaries. The class of 1959 will always remember the faculty, the numerous enjoyable events, and especially - graduation. Our three years here were filled with many unforgetable experiences and memories which will always be remembered and cherished. HISTORIANS : Dean Larkin Marilyn Maynard
