1957 - 1958 Here we are! Seniors at last! This is the last year at our old homestead, Medfield High School. We started the year off with the organization of the yearbook, under the super¬ vision of the editors, Carole Ehnes and Patrick Harris. Marjorie Sargent, Nancy Seeley, Catherine Sweeney, Josie Bravo, and Carol Tam- mero are the senior cheerleaders. As the months slipped by, we put on record hops and held scrap drives. One of the most successful of these paper drives was held on March 9, 1958. On March 15 we held a St. Patrick’s Dance in the high school auditorium to raise additional funds for the yearbook. The Knights of Rhythm were featured and a St. Patrick’s couple was chosen. During the same evening the Yearbook Staff disposed of many pictures used in the past and present editions of the PEAK. During April the Senior Class held an innovation in dances. It was the Bermuda and Socks Hop on April 11. This was the first of its kind at Medfield High School and was enjoyed by all. On April 18 the annual Minstrel Show took place, thanks once again to the generosity of Tom Sweeney. Many seniors had an active part in this Medfield spectacular and gave the audience a happy evening. May 17 was the date of our Senior Remembrance Dance. It was at this function that we really began to feel a touch of regret that our high school days were almost over. Now as we sit here May 27, at the Junior-Senior Banquet we look forward to June 4 the date of our graduation, a night we know we will never forget and to the climax of our high school days, our Senior Reception. So this has been our life as it is written here to go down in history the Class of 1958.

After looking around at our classmates, we found that Betty Shanks and Bruce Alexander had not returned, but instead we acquired Charles Guy from California. Shortly after we started school, Grace Herman left us. We were sorry to see her go, but the days passed rapidly. Having planned and worked for almost two months on our first important dance, the Junior-Freshman Frolic, we were rewarded by the colorful antics of the freshmen. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves, as it was our brief purpose to entertain them. In December along with the Seniors, we put on a successful Christmas Dance. There was dancing to the music of the Rhythm Kings. On May 2, 1957, we held our long awaited Junior Prom. The Grand March, to our surprise, ran very smoothly. We enjoyed dancing to the orchestra of Baron Hugo. Later during the evening, we departed for the Meadows, where we were srved a delicious dinner. During the month of June, we gave the Seniors a Banquet, assisted by the mothers of the Junior Class. This was followed by a record hop. Marjorie Sargent was chosen to represent Medfield at Girls’ State; Patrick Harris an d James Bois were chosen to go to Boys’ State. Carole Ehnes, Josie Bravo, Peter Frame, and James Bois had the honor of being marshals at graduation. We were especially proud of James Bois when he was awarded the Harvard Book Award. year. A class swimming party at Marjorie Sargent’s ended our Junior

CLASS PROPHECY George Nye Cathy Sweeney Time sure flies when you’re out of school for here it is 1963 already. We had been planning to take in the plumbing convention for a long time and the day has finally arrived. I, George Nye thought I would bring someone with me to take notes, so I chose my secretary Catherine Sweeney. We boarded the plane with enthusiasm and with thoughts to our future plans. We were not seated long, however, when we heard a great number of scientific find¬ ings and theories being expounded so we called for the stewardess. To our surprise it was Carol Tammero. She had been working at this job for a couple of years and found it very interesting. We asked Carol about the noise and she told us that it was Pat “atoms ’ Harris. It seems as though Pat was arguing with some Russian. Well Pat is on his way to an atomic research center, for he is now a nuclear physicist and is working on a new theory, on how to resplit the split atom. We heard a familiar voice on the loud speaker but couldn’t quite figure out who it could be, so I went to explore. To my great surprise it was Bill Bowden who is n ow a great flyer. While circling the airfield for a landing we see a little red sports car zooming around the runway. When we landed we asked Rill and Carol about it and they tell us it is Pete Scribner with his new X55. He built it himself with the help of his ace mechanic Larry MacKenny. Pete and Larry have won all the races they have entered so far and are looking forward to winning their next, which is a race with some speedster known as Tiger, who can really go. He was discovered going to a fire. We talked awhile with our classmates and then decided to get a taxi and be on our way. I whistled for a cab and was really surprised to get one with huge black print all over it. On closer observation it read Josie Bravo Airport Special. It was good to see that name again and the taxi was a fifteen seater—some boat! On talking to Josie, she told us that she and Nancy Rogers have had the taxi service for four or five years now and business is booming. By the way, it’s the only women’s taxi company in the world. Nancy and Josie have thirty taxis in all. They guarantee fast service. Their most famous customer is Janice Hutchins. Janice is now known for her lectures on Parisian fashions. She designs, fashions and models her exquisite dresses which are famous everywhere. y We leave the convention after a while and coming out of the hall we- see two marines coming up the street singing the Marines’ Hymn. On closer observation we are glad to find Buddy Guy and Mario Catenacci. When talking to the boys we find they just love the marines and have signed up for another twenty years. They sure
