With anxious hearts we are now dream¬ ing of four of the best years of our -lives— our Medfield High School days. June 18, 1951 Dear Diary, Today our long awaited graduation from the eighth grade brought a happy ending to the first eight years of a carefree school life. 1951-’52 September, 1951 On September 5, we entered our newly assigned homeroom where Mr. Bergeron gave us a hearty welcome. The class election was held, and since this was our first taste of high school politics, it caused great excitement. After the counting of the ballots, the results showed Kenneth Carpenter to be president; Arthur Milton, vice president; Bill Reynolds, secretary; Lee Howlett, treasurer. When Kenny left for Allston for the remainder of the year, Peggy Thibeau was voted to fill his position. Following this election, there were two others in which Carol Silson and Marie Oja became the Freshmen cheerleaders, and Lee Howlett and Marie Oja were elected as Student Council Representatives. We also selected and ordered our class rings, which we will receive in the spring. October 19, 1951 Tonight we nervously entered the gym expecting to receive the worst from our friends (?) the Juniors. After surviving the various and sundry stunts which made us full-fledged Freshmen, we enjoyed a dance held in our honor. June 12, 1952 At the graduation exercises this evening, Nancy Frame and Bill Reynolds were the proud winners of the Freshman Awards. J

1952-’53 September 3, 1952 Having entered our now familiar corridors and classrooms, we met Mrs. Potter, who is to be our class advisor for the next three years. The class election this fall brought a change in officers: Joan Swallow, presi¬ dent; Arthur Milton, vice president; Lorraine Curry, secretary; and Sandra Harmon, treasurer. Barbara Rossi and Norman Rossi, by joining our class, increased our number to thirty. April 13, 1953 This afternoon after much hustling, we entertained our mothers by modeling old-fashioned gowns at a Mother-Daughter Tea. This fashion tea, given by the girls of the class with the help of Mrs. Potter, was a great success. June 11,1953 Sandra Harmon and Kenny Carpenter were given the honor of being marshalls at the senior graduation tonight. 1953-’54 September 9, 1953 We enthusiastically began our Junior year by electing Priscilla Ehnes for presi¬ dent; Nancy Frame, vice president; Dorothy Aylward, secretary; and Marie Oja, treasurer. We also chose Norman Rossi to serve on the Student Council in place of Lee Howlett who is now attending Lenox School.
