MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL Moforg offde john Maltair THE class of '50 started its career in Mem- orial High School in the autumn of 1946. For its freshman year the class elected Paul Callan president, Patricia Dodge vice-president, Carolyn Alger secretary, and William Kennedy treasurer. This year also marked the addition of Nancy Mercer to the class. Nancy transferred during the latter half of the year from a school in Connecticut. With sports, socials, and studies the class soon began to eam the unique and en- viable position that it has today. During the sophomore year the Class of '50 continued on the road of success and elected William Kennedy president, Bruce Matheson vice-president, Marjorie Smith secretary, and Elizabeth Howard treasurer. This year was also notable for the addition of three new students -Marilyn Kuechler, Wilbert Larson, and Rich- ard Holt. It cannot be doubted that these three students contributed much to our class, each in his own way. The Class of '50 as juniors began the third year of its high school life in September, 1948. For this memorable year Ray Wood was chosen president, Bruce Matheson vice-president, Betty Howard secretary, and Patricia Dodge treasurer. Also at various times during that year Edward Morrissey, Donald Garbitt, and Ann Kuppers became new members in our steadily growing student body. In our junior year we became the first class in M.H.S. history to adopt a system of Class Savings. This plan was so designed that a stu- dent by paying fifty cents a month for two school years would have ten dollars at the end of his senior year to pay for personal gradu- ation expenses, and that those not fully com- pleting their payments would have to meet their expenses as they occurred out of their own pockets. A great deal of credit for the success of this Class Savings Program is due to its able manageress, Carolyn Alger. and her staff of col- lectors. Further, since this program has met with so much success in our class, it is reason- ably safe to surmise that it will become a per- manent institution in our dear old alma mater. The great social event of our junior year was, of course, the Junior Prom. This formal dance took place April 29, 19493 and with Ned Barry and his New Englanders orchestra supplying Twenty-three 66144 o 7950 the music, it turned out to be one of the best school functions of the year. That long awaited day, the one that seemed ever so distant a few years before, finally arrived when we became seniors. This year will per- haps be more cherished by us than any other for it seemed to culminate all the friendships and treasured memories we had acquired during our happy days in M.H.S. Our class officers for this year were Bruce Matheson president, Ron- ald Falconeiri vice-president, Faith Stetson sec- retary, and Marjorie Smith treasurer. Many of our bright, sunny week ends during the Fall were spent in attendance at the football games. There we had the opportunity of seeing the scintillating performances of many of our star athletes. We shall long remember the touchdown runs of Paul Roberts. the driving power of Ray Wood. the ability of Stuart John- son and john Danielson to hold the line, and the clevemess of Dick Houlihan in calling the right signals at the right time. At these games we shall also remember the never faltering spirit of the cheering souad led by Betty Howard. Other senior members of the cheering snuad were Frances jones and joan Zilonis. Then also in connection with the football season we cannot forget the colorful pageantry of the an- nual Thanksgiving Day games, the rallies, and the football dances. The senior play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, certainly showed that our class wasn't lacking in dramatic ability. The play was under the direction of Miss Rachael Alden and the members of the cast were: Bruce Matheson, Frances Jones. Anita Mendall. Frank Whitney, Pauline Saunders, Jason Andrews, Sophie So- wyrda, Walter McCrillis, Nicholas Martin, Pa- tricia Dodge, Nancy Mercer, Frederick Gove, Carolyn Alger, Mafalda Iampietro, Barbara Armstrong. Ronald Falconeiri, and William Penniman. On the night of its presentation the play was attended by a full house and a very appreciative audience. Many thanks for the success of the play are also in order for those who performed many important though little noted duties behind the curtains. The Class of '50 certainly possessed a rare ability for music judging by its large number of fine instrumentalists. Some of the musicians of note were pianists, Patricia Dodge and
