Twenty-four Carolyn Alger, trombone players Bruce Mathe- son, Alan Lindsay, Faith Stetson, and Frederick Goveg trumpet players, Pauline Saunders, Wal- ter McCrillis, John Danielson, and Duane Wheeler, and drummer, William Penniman. These instrumentalists with the exception of the pianists performed at an assembly and at the band concert one of the most stirring con- certos ever to be played by such a group. These accomplished music enthusiasts certainly de- serve our highest praise. The scholastic rating of the Class of '50 was commendable for it was the highest in the school's history. There were thirty-two mem- bers of our class enrolled as members in the Pro Merito Society. This was the most ever to have come from a single senior class. The reason for this, of course, was simple for in order to keep up to a valedictorian like Frances jones and a salutatorian like Bruce Matheson the rest of the class just had to bear down and study. During our four years of high school life many of the class had shown themselves out- standing in some particular field. For instance, in the literary Held there was Jason Andrews, who was the hard working and capable editor THE CENTENNIAL--1950 of the Sacbem. Then there was Frances jones, editor of the Newswriters' Club, who saw to it that interesting and informative articles ap- peared in the Middleboro High School Notes section of the Gazette. And last, but certainly not least, was Sophie Sowryda, editor of the yearbook, in whose able hands depended its great success. In the highly complex political field the President of the Student Council, Patil Callan, occupied the most prominent position. Paul did a good job of maintaining order and eificiency in our student government. Richard Picone also deserved our greatest admiration for he was chosen from among all the F.F.A. boys of the state to receive the coveted Star Farmer Award. just as the members of that first class to graduate from Middleboro High School, the Class of 1850, were pioneers in the Westward expansion of our great country, we the Class of 1950 must be pioneers in our own age. The atomic era we now live in is ever so much larger and more demanding than that former period in history, but if we proceed with the same indomitable spirit that these early pioneers did, we shall meet the challenge of our times with their same crowning success.
