, ,,,, ,.,. .. I FOREWORD . . . The Manchester Address One decade and two years ago our fathers sent forth upon this conti- nent thirty-one sons and daughters to Manchester High School. Now we are about to graduate, but it seems twelve short years ago that we, wide-eyed and eager to learn, began our ever-memorable school days. '- .. , t 13 sz-3 , ,L Q4 if .,:.. 5, .,,:,., -:::E if 'R X t w -1. Margaret Boardman here, certainly looks eager! We are met on a great battle field and we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final learning place for those who are yet to take our places that the school might continue to operate. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedf icate, we cannot concentrate, we cannot hallow this school without first paying homage to those who helped us on the road to success. Marguerite Twentyiive . . angelic vision ot pre-school days! Our A, B, C's and l, 2, 3's were introduced to us by Miss Seaman. It was there that we as little tots learned to read a little and write our names. As a first grader, Maxine enjoys an after-school romp in the snow. Miss Clint in second grade was quite a Ruler. Naughty little boys and girls were tapped gently when misbehaving. These were only love taps as we learned later on. The Shepard of the flock in the third grade taught us to paint and many is the day we ran home with a masterpiece to our mothers. Our first history lesson was a memorable event for we've been having history ever since. ln the fourth grade, Miss Dayton taught us things like the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, etc.

As a fourth grader, Jean Pierce brings teacher some posies. A house divided against itself cannot stand. But we proved the contrary. We were divided in the fifth grade. Half of us were with Mrs. Galbraith, while the rest were un- der the guidance of Miss O'Harrigan. There were Indian villages constructed, roller skating parties and plenty of learnin'. Ill This is how some of us did our learnin . United we stand . . in the sixth grade. Miss Gilman was ever ready to instill in us a good preparation for Junior High School. Hurrah! No more one-room classes. Instead we passed from Mrs. Galbraith's room to Miss Proechel's, thus creating an atmospheric change throughout the day. Our first taste of Regents came in the eighth grade. Miss Mertz made her debut at M.H.S. that year and we were fortu- nate to be the first to come under her influence. Miss Hunt- ington, our English teacher, became Mrs. Timbrell, and Miss Clocksin showed us the inside business oi cats, rats, worms, etc. Now we were little green frogs in a big puddle, and Miss Augustine was ruler of the roost. We'll always remember our Vic dance that wasn't. But we made money though. Mr. Kaufman was our Freshman Advisor. Little did Ruth Crowell realize the disadvantages of Www i A JP being a Frosh when this picture wus taken. From the Greek, the word Sophomore means wise fool, W, at em and oh how wise we thought we were! We chose Miss Zi- is bella as our Advisor and sailed through a quiet year, with our big event being the Soph I-lop.
