Class of Forty -Nine Thirty -one CLASS OF 1951 ' TpHE story of the class of 1951 is the story of individual members of the class because classes do not have many activities of their own until they become juniors or seniors. The pupils mentioned are some of those who have been outstanding in the class during the first two years. There are others who have latent powers and will develop as the outstanding members of the class in years to come. It is impossible to mention all who have achieved honors, but among those who have shown promise in sev- eral fields are the following. The President is Raymond Tripp who has been president of his home room for two years, member of the student council and a regular member of the honor roll. The vice-president, John Leonard, has not been with the class as long as those who live in Middleboro, but has shown his leadership early. John is an honor student and is president of his home room which office makes him a member of the student council. Joanne Powers has been secretary of the class for two years and a homeroo m officer each year. She, at present, is a member of the student council. The treasurer, James Young, is often on the honor roll and he is one of the regular mem- bers of the vocal musical organizations. In addition to the officers, there are members of the class who have been very active in school affairs at the same time maintaining excellent records scholastically. Sally Alger serves on the traffic squad, has been an honor pupil through- out the year, is a cheerleader, member of the band, interested in the literary organizations, and active in athletics. Sally will be heard from many times during her school career. The class of 1951 has an unusual supply of good athletes, both boys and girls. Bobby Brown, Dick Wood, Boyd Iseminger, Sally Alger, and Joan Bissonnette, are among the most prominent. Boyd is also one of the most outstanding schol- ars in the class and he plays in the band. Other promising athletes are Edward Casey, Carl Hew- itt, Terrence Howard, Mary Gerrior, Nancy Lewoczko, Mary-Lou Casey, Virginia Norris and Marilyn Churchill. Mary and Sally repre- sent the girls among the cheerleaders and Lau- rence Osborne has been an active worker on class committees. With the variety of talent in the class, the year of 1951 should be an im- portant one for M.H.S.

Thirty Memorial High School CLASS OF 1950 THIS is the class of 1950, one of the largest in M.H.S. history We were the first to pay class dues, which makes our treasury HUGE We hope to carry on the honors you 49 ' ers have made. President Raymond Wood Vice-President Bruce Matheson Secretary Elizabeth Howard Treasurer Patricia Dodge Maybe our class isn ' t actually the best, now, but give us a little time and patience! After much debate, we decided on our present system of paying class dues. Our capable collectors Alan Lindsay, Frances Jones, Paul Callan, Caro- lyn Alger, Paul Roberts, and Marjorie Smith make collections of 50 cents every Wednesday morning before school. Ahem ... It is indeed a pleasure to pay such a paltry sum for so worthy a cause. In our system, a student will have paid $10 by the end of the senior year. It was noted that our dues should go to the personal graduation expenses instead of the in- dividual paying them. Our Junior Prom, was held on Friday, April 29, with Ned Barry and his New Englanders. We may proudly report that all went well, and all our expenses have been paid. Raymond Wood is our president. He cuts a line figure standing on the stage directing our thoughts into motions. His most frequent re- mark is The meeting is in order. You have probably noticed that our so-called chief execu- tive does not appear in the picture of the class officers. This is because he was sick at the time, an occurrence much lamented by us ' 50 ' ers. Vice-President Bruce Matheson did a highly praised job on our Junior Prom. He was in charge of our orchestra and open dates com- mittees. When asked about people on his com- mittee, he replied I am my own committee. Bruce packs a lot of punch in his sixty-five inches. Secretary Betty Howard looks very poised as she reads off the minutes of the previous meet- ing. She had charge of our class ring commit- tee. Betty is an excellent athlete and still finds time to be a Junior Pro Merito student. Pat Dodge is our treasurer. She certainly should be commended. Pat was a one man gen- eral manageress of the Prom. It ' s the finan- ces that count, she says. She also finds time to be an expert piano player for the A Capella Choir. By the end of our years, we hope to draw ud a plan for unification of school publications. A photographer is going to be on the job this summer. We want some interesting pictures for our Yearbook. As a parting shot, our motto might be defined thus: We are aiming for a star . . . perfection. Barbara Armstrong
