Calais 1 Judith (du Naivete, giggles, bewilderment, noise — colorful description? Yes, of course, the class of ' 54. Not as the poised Seniors of today, but as the immature 7th graders of yesterday. Let us look back on that much anticipated day in September, 1948, which finds us curiously awaiting our destination at Mr. Romeo ' s office. We soon discovered that Miss Peter- son was the lucky one chosen to calm and settle our high spirits. Shortly thereafter we held our first orderly (?) class meeting! We all agreed that a capable person was badly needed to preside over our class affairs, and Alfred Almeida was elected. After much con- sideration, we chose David Pozerycki as vice-presi- dent. By the same method, Reina Feinberg, Peter Theran, John Callahan, and Jayne Nangle filled the positions of secretary, treasurer. Student Council representative, and historian, respectively. The time soon came when we proudly took part in the diversified activities of the year. These con- sisted of — the A. A. Drive, in which we placed third with $60; the magazine drive, the object of which was the purchase of new band uniforms; the Thanksgiving D ay basket, decorated and delivered to the Marshfield Home; the Christmas Party and its exchange of gifts; the successful assembly in which Beatrice Gonsalves, Paul Fortunow, and Grace Jones participated as amateur medics. As a climax to our first year in Junior High, we fought the battle of the sexes on the softball field in the form of a class party. Everyone ready? Forward march! Destination? Grade 8. Half of us filed off at Mrs. Ryder ' s room while the rest continued down the corridor to Miss Baxter ' s. Very soon we gathered together again and elected the following leaders of our class: President, David Pozerycki; Vice-president, Alfred Almeida; Secretary, Reina Feinberg; Treasurer, Peter Theran; Student Council, Peter Barry; and Historian, Judy Curren. Our first feeling of accomplishment occurred when we proudly issued an edition of our class paper, The Eyes and Ears of M.H.S. , a task which we undertook with much vigor. The football games would not have been com- plete without our delicious home-made candy, care- fully wrapped in paper napkins! This was our first experience at a real money-making project. We began planning early for the main event of our 8th grade career — The May Dance. What a thrill it was to decorate, prepare refreshments, and dance to the music of Don Leach ' s orchestra! Our first taste of running our own dances, including the necessary preparation, was certainly a rewarding one. Well, we finally crossed over the bridge and landed in Mr. Scott ' s room as proud Freshmen, al- ways extremely eager to boast of our new position. Boy, didn ' t we think we were big? Our egos were rapidly deflated when we faced the realization that we were the youngsters of the high school. Our eagerness was short-lived for we soon found half of our group hibernating in the art room. At our first reunion Hargreaves Heap was elected president by a landslide! Vice-president Smoky Sherman did a grand job that year, right. Smoky? Jane Whittaker with her famous I left my secre- tary ' s report at home raced against the clock to record accurately the business of our class meetings. The dues swiper, Audrey Higgins, was entrusted with our meager class account. History? Why, yes! Every class event — big or small — was carefully recorded by our historian, Jayne Nangle. The Student Coun- cil warmly welcomed Peter Barry as the Freshman class representative. Coca-cola! Never an end to it! I guess it was widely appreciated at those extra warm football games, for our first money-making idea was a financial success. Remember that Birthday Variety Show? Each month of the year was represented by a colorful decorated table and a delicious cake. After every- one was seated according to his birthday, the varsity show was presented. Encore! Encore! That certainly is one evening never to be remembered! Mid-year elections crept up unexpectedly, creat- ing active enthusiasm all over again. The new selec- tions were: President, Smoky Sherman; Vice-presi- dent, Alfred Almeida; Secretary, Kathrine Schatz; 20
