Class History by (killant Having cotuiuerfd junior high school, fifty froshincn. eager to hegin the new school year, entered rooms d and 1 1 and found themsehes at the merev of Mr. Scott and Mr. Holden. Early in the year we realized our need to elect class officers. Our |)resident was Kohert Downs; vice- president. Steve Atwater; secretary. Anne Huh- hard; and treasurer Chandler Cleveland. Priscilla Price anti Jimmy Murphy filled the positions of historian and Student Council representative. In- an attempt to increase the size of our treas- ury, we undertook the task of selling cokes at the football games. hy, we even gave free cokes to the cheerleatlers — and on very special occasions to the players! With Novemher came our first class function, a record hop, hut in spite of the large income from these functions Mr. Scott was after us to pay our dues. . t one point the ulti- matum was issued — those who had not paid their dues must he the last ones to lunch every day! •As our freshman year was drawing to a close, we decided to celebrate — a picnic. committee was chosen to select the spot, and for weeks they were busy making jireparations. However, when the day approached there was a slight change in plans. No transportation — no picnic! ! Being a sports-minded class, mam of our class- mates joined the hockey, football, and basketball sijuads. How proud we were when Steve accom- panied the basketball team into the Boston Gar- dens to win the State Champiojiship in Class C. In September, after a seemingly short sutnmer, the Class of .06 moved down the hall to Miss Kllard s and Mr. Heed ' s homerooms. Our sophomore year officially started when we met in ' Hoorn l.f to elect officers for the coming year. ith the help of our new classmates. Joan Long. Pat Snow, and Plullis Opclski. we chose the following |)cople to guide our class activities. Nicky W herit was chosen to |)reside o er our meetings and Pamela Sherman was his under- stud . . nne, jimmy. (!han, and Priscilla were re-elected to their |)osts. Because the faculty thought our class meetings to he too unruly, they were few and far between. After two months time, we did manage to get together to make jjlans for our dance. “The Cand’ Carnival.” , s sophomores we seemed to get into ever thing — g(jod and had! Our classmates made an- other good showing in the sports world. W hile some of us were learning to conjugate French and Latin verbs, others were learning formulas and theorems in Geometry. .Surviving this, most of us became Juniors, only to undergo a more tedious year. .After the roll was called .Mr. Holden sent us on to L. S. History. Chemistry, and .Algebra 11. Our class meetings that year were far more successful, thanks to Steve Atwater ' s able leadership. Boh Jones acted as vice-president while Pam Sherman and Hachel Gallant took positions as treasurer and historian respectivelv. Anne and Jimmv still retained their posts as secre- tary and Student Council representative. .Marlene Pooley joined our class that year, but the class wasn t the same without the smiling face of Dave Barheau. who was hospitalized with polio. Dave kept smiling though and is back with us now. Our junior year was a very busy one. “The Soda Pop Hop. ' ’ held in Novemher. was a social and financial success and paved the wav for bigger and better things. Following the February vacation, we began to rehearse for our class play. If e Shook the Farnilv Tree. .Steve made a “dashing appearance as “short-pants Freddy” and .Malin was perfectiv ' ast in her role as six-year-old Paige Mason. One success followed another when we sponsored our Junior Prom a week later. Isn ' t it amazing what can he done in a week ' s time in the line of decorations. Cutting and pasting were undertaken hy all. and the results were breathtaking. In the Spring. Anna Huhhard and Boh Jones were chosen to attend (drls ' and Bovs ' States. Jimmv Murphv v as electctl president of the Stu- .10
