19 4 2 Memorial HigK Sckool 19 4 2 History of the Class of 1942 ALTON KRAMER When the class of 1942 entered the stately portals of this institution of learning, the size of the structure and the attitude of the upper classmen toward us made us wary of what was in store for the future. But after several months of getting acquainted with the build- ing and its contents, we elected the following class officers to be our leaders: president, John Dunn; vice-president, Carol Gushing; secretary, Arleen Kinsman; and treasurer, Marcia Brooks, who left our high school at the end of the freshman year to enter Ply- mouth high school. After a successful season of selling candy at football and basketball games, the class decided to stop making money for the re- mainder of the year, because the treasurer was in the market for an adding machine. Rather than spend all that money, we settled the question by simply not doing any more business until our sophomore year. When the good news arrived that we were to become sophomores, it became our turn to sit back and watch the frightened freshmen running around like scared rabbits. Now we had the opportunity to see how the newcomers look when trying to find rooms 31 and 32 down near the boilers. As it is customary to elect sophomore class officers, we followed suit, and the students who held the regal reins of our household were as follows: president, Thomas Cleverly; vice-president. Warren Tharion; secretary, Arleen Kinsman; and treasurer, Ruth Leon- ard. The main event of our sophomore year was Miss Erickson ' s buying a 1937 model Chev- rolet to replace her antiquated Leaping Lena. According to the latest reports she still has that so-called car in her back yard. Without doubt she has become so attached to it that she just can ' t part with it. If she can keep it from falling apart for several more years, she may get an offer from the Smith- sonian Institute in Washington. In September, 1940, we resumed our stud- ies as juniors, and a host of new teachers were here to greet us. Miss Merrill of Somerville replaced Miss Chase as the Junior English teacher; Miss Purkis replaced Miss Smith as Sociology and Business-English teacher; Miss Cummings re- placed Miss Merselis as the Problems of De- mocracy teacher; and Mr. Sturtevant came as the instructor in the new courses in agri- culture. The 1940 football season officially marked the opening of the new locker room. This masterpiece in lockerroom technique was en- gineered and built mainly through the ef- forts of our football coach Mr. Battis. There are very few schools in the state that can match this addition to our school facilities, and we hope that it will serve future classes as capably as it has served the class of 1942. Although we never got around to holding a junior social, our junior prom was the out- standing event of the year. The excellent orchestra and the gate receipts made this attraction one of the best in recent years. Our junior class officers were: president, Thomas Cleverly; vice-president, Richard Leggee; secretary, Arleen Kinsman; and treasurer, Lorraine Leighton. This, our last year as members of the M. H. S. student body, has been a pleasant one. Our officers for the year were elected as follows: president, Paul Anderson; vice- president, John Swanson; secretary, Arleen Kinsman; and treasurer, Lorraine Leighton. The big event of the football season was the dedication of the football field, to be known as Battis Field.
