Williamina Abbiati Secretary to Mr. Dixon Raymond W. Bacon Industrial Arts, Auto Mechanics, Mechanical Drawing Paul F. Banks Mathematics Starting up the steps of Melrose High School in September, 1958, the class of 1962 felt the educational consequences of the Russian Sputnik the year before. Honors groups, advanced classes, and regular courses with new and deeper textbooks greeted us. For two years we elbowed our way through the crowded corridors trying to beat the four minute bell; for two years we endured the noise and inconvenience of con- struction machinery. But, in our junior year, the sixteen-room addition was ready for us. An art room, drafting rooms, classrooms with built-in movie screens, sound- proofing, movable desks all had a bright exciting atmosphere. This expansion, to- gether with bringing the glamour of the fresh new rooms, relieved us of the improvised study hall in the auditorium and the divided gym classes. Each year we had noticed more and more schoolmates; in fact, the enrollment had increased by 275 students since 1958! Arthur H.
