CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR Four memorable years have elapsed since that exciting day in September 1949, when the pros- pective class of 1953 first entered the Marlborough High School. What a challenging, thrilling experience it was to be a high-schooler at last! What a feeling of accomplishment it was to bear that magic title, Freshman!” It seemed like the beginning of a new life. Although shy and be¬ wildered, we were extremely proud to think that we now belonged to Marlboro High School. In¬ teresting subjects, encouraging words from our teachers, and the friendliness of the envied upper¬ classmen, made us feel at home. Following the brief period of confusing bells, reporting to wrong classrooms, and the good- natured hazing of our Elders,” we became adjusted to the routine of daily classes and nightly homework. To be sure, those hours of study were sometimes completely overshadowed by inspir¬ ing football rallies, thrilling football games, enjoyable hops and proms, and lively teen-age parties. After the brief Christmas recess the monotony of the long winter months was relieved by basket¬ ball games, and before we knew it, spring was at hand bringing with it visions of the closing of school. Although still called Freshman,” we were quite grown u p and by now, accepted by the upper-classmen in both classroom and extra-curricular activities. As the end of the year approached,, we grew frantically impatient at the happy thought of Move-up Day.” Finally that day arrived! With our schedule cards in our hands, we shyly entered our new home rooms, once again feeling very, very small, but this time, ever so proud of being Sophomores. SOPHOMORE YEAR How filled with pride we were as we began our second happy year at M. H. S.! Now that we were grown up Sophomores, we took our place in the ranks of the carefree upper classmen. The days passed slowly—so very slowly,—as we eagerly anticipated our first class meeting. Finally,, on that fateful day in April, we reported to the Study Hall to organize the great class of 53”- Our class advisers, Miss O ' Halloran and Mr. Duplessis, were introduced by Mr. Francis. In the midst of much confusion, Mr. Kenney explained the procedure for the election of our class of¬ ficers. The campaign managers went into action immediately, and the race began. During the weeks that followed, class politics was the talk of the school. At the close of an exciting and difficult struggle, the officers chosen to lead our class during the Junior year were Melvin Smith, President; Norma Cummings, Vice-President; Bernard Condry, Treasurer; and Mildred Knowles,. Secretary. Fully organized and now officially The Class of 1953”, we left for summer vacation looking forward to the re-opening of school in September. • JUNIOR YEAR Beginning the last half of our high school career, we proudly assumed the enviable title,. Juniors.” Although scholastically speaking, this was to be our most difficult year, we remembered ' our motto, Courage Without Fear,” and were determined to abide by its counsel. The first social event of the year, the Junior Hop was a success, and indicated that social af¬ fairs of the Class of 1953 would be well patronized. After Thanksgiving the lull in class activities was interrupted by the controversies concern¬ ing the choosing of class rings. The ring agreed upon was an attractive, gold model with a stone the color of one’s choice, surmounted with a knighted crest bearing the letters, M. H. S. Returning from the Christmas vacation, we concentrated upon the selection of the class colors., The colors chosen were maroon and white. Before we knew it, Prom time had arrived, and each member frantically prepared for this: most important social event of the year. After a great deal of discussion, it was decided to make our own Assembly Hall the scene of the dance. This decision proved most fortunate. On prom night the hall was transformed into an enchanting and colorful setting for our first formal. Everyone joyfully gathered in the Assembly Hall, where the feature of the evening was a grand’ march led by our class officers. In March our class rings arrived and with justifiable pride, we flashed them before the envious, eyes of the under classmen. Our Spring Hop featured another innovation in entertainment as Bill Galvin, W.K.O.X. Disc Jockey, spun the platters” in his own unique manner. June found us spell-bound as we watched the impressive graduation ceremonies of the Senior Class, and we thrilled to the realization that our turn would come in June of 1953,-
