a : are —Ajo— The Up and Coming In the fall the juniors came back to school proud of their positions as upper- classmen. Under the able guidance of Miss Jones and Mrs. Diotte, their advisors, they elected their officers: Richard Nordberg, President; Joseph Brown, Vice- President; “Gerry”? Marcheselli, “Treasurer; and Nancy. Linn, Secretary. Displaying wonderful school spirit, they distinguished themselves in athletics. Ernest Phelps, Richard Nordberg, Angelo Bacchiocchi, James Garland, John Almeida, Paul Neff, and William Rossi participated in football. In basketball Joseph Brown, Richard Nordberg, and Donald Sheldon were outstanding players. In girls’ basket- ball the juniors were most active. Margie Troupe, Corrine Palanza, Doreen Eastman, Lee Guild, “Mel” Guild, Doreen Annese, Maureen Nelson, ‘Dotty’ Nordberg, Barbara Inman, Arlene Goyea and mgr. Rose Hassel showed a great interest. Four cheerleaders, Ellen O’ Hare, Maureen Nelson, Phyllis Palanza and Margie Troupe also belong to this class. On Thanksgiving night, the juniors held their big dance, the “Turkey Trot’, which proved to be most successful. This class should be praised for initiating a unique system of collecting dues. They will never know the financial troubles some senior classes have. We, the class of ’49, admire the juniors and only wish that we, too, could spend another year at M. H. S., but we know we leave it in good hands, for the class of ’50 will “follow through.” B. Chapman 29

i We Prospects Now Brighter In September 1947 only the college preparatory division of the class of ’51 came to the high school. The business division remained at Junior High. Con- sequently, September, 1948 was a real reunion for this class. United once more, they took their rightful places as sophomores at M. H. S. Miss Welch and Miss Shepard are the class advisors. At the beginning of the year they elected their class officers:—Paul Kelley, President; Theodore Foster, Vice-President; Joan Redman, Secretary; and “Jacky” Giles, Treasurer. These ambitious students are making splendid headway in their activities. Their great social event of the year was the Sophomore “Shindig,’ one of the most successful social affairs held at the high school. Many took a prominent part in athletics. “Those who participated in foot- ball were “Curt” and “Connie” Griffin, Theodore Foster, Wi liam Knox, “Sandy” D’ Agostino, and Orlando DiGiampietro. They were represented in basketball by “Sandy” D’ Agostino, “Curt” and “Connie” Griffin, Paul Kelley, Richard Pescosolido, and Ben Merrill. In girls’ basketball there were Lorraine Poland and Celeste Bernardo. “Iwo snappy cheerleaders were Joan Redman and Rosalie Barnes. To the class of ’51, we of ’49 extend our heartiest congratulations. We know a bright future lies before them. J. Agnew 31
