JUNIOR 'CLASCS When this Log Went into production in mid- winter and we began to think over the achieve- ments of our class in the past three years to choose those noteworthy enough to record in the yearbook, it seemed that time had really flown by. Perhaps the motto of all students should be It's later than you think. Soon, incredibly, we juniors will have held up the wands at graduation and have seen our friends and sometime rivals, the seniors of '52, pass under that arch, leaving us the fun and work of being the grand old seniors. In our freshman year we spent many happy hours filled with headaches and laughs over our classes and homework, our initiation and social activities. As Sophomores we worked with Miss Byrnes and Mr. Callen on a Shipwreck Dance which was quite a success. So far in our junior year, under the leadership of Mr. Gilmour and Miss Radenberg, we have spon- sored a dance to finish off the football season, from which the proceeds were high and which we all enjoyed. We have made no definite plans as yet for our prom which is scheduled for June, 14 but look forward to it as the biggest event of our eleventh year. This year made a change in our organization, since we had a council in charge of the class instead of the usual presi- dent, treasurer, and secretary offices. Council members were Martin Ford, .lean Haynes, john Hill, Shirley Kelly and Linden Sanford. There are many things that we juniors have on our minds now with our last year in school coming up. We are looking forward to picking our senior rings, to our Washington trip, and last but far from least, to graduation. As a junior group, Prof, we are beginning to realize how much your guidance has increased the pleasantness of our days in school. We have begun to think about the work we will do after graduation, and can see the value in the courses we hope we have chosen wisely. Probably next year we will again complain, put off school work sometimes and generally act as typical students, but we will have serious moments when we recognize that the experiences we share here will always remain among our best memories, The 1952 Log

SOPHOMORE CLASS XVe entered school this year as proud sopho- mores. lt really seemed good to sit back and enjoy freshman initiation, with the wonderful feeling of being just onlookers, recalling the day when we sat in assembly wondering what we would be called upon to do. As sophomores we had moved from our freshman homerooms with Miss Connell and Mr. Matalavage into 204 with Miss Byrnes and into the art room with Mr. Holliday. We soon elected our class officers who were: presi- dent, Charlotte Mcfanng vice president, Rus- sell Graham 3 treasurer, Patricia DeSilvag secre- tary, Sherry Dobo. Our homeroom represen- tative was Robert Thompson, and our alternate, Yvonne Gallant. VVe discovered that this was going to be a busy year, as most of us were taking tive subjects and devoting third periods The 1952 Log to various clubs. Still we managed for the most part to do quite well and always had a good representation on the honor rolls. Our two homeroom groups competed with one another for the title of best homeroom in high school- though we never dared challenge any other class group to enter the race, assuming from Septem- ber that they would concede to us. Seriously, we have had fun this yearkputting on our first two dances, one for Halloween, and a second in the spring. As our class funds increased, we thought more often of the fact that in a short time we would be thinking back upon this year as the far-away past. VVe are anxious for new adventures, and look forward to trying our wings after graduation, but still rather regret seeing this year end. 15
