HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1951 Richard Maltais THE Class of ' 51 entered Memorial High School in September of 1947 with the goal of becoming a class that would be looked up to by both past and future classes with great ad- miration. For its freshman year the class elected Roger Nickerson, president; Carl Hewitt, vice- president; Joanne Powers, secretary; and Charles Kayajan, treasurer. With these able officers the Class of ' 51 truly started off in the right direc- tion. We welcomed to our ranks Eila Peltola, Eugene Robbins, and John Alley. As freshmen the Class of ' 5 1 immediately became recognized for its potential ability in athletics. The Class of ' 5 1 entered into its sophomore year with the reassurance of reaching its goal that much sooner as it elected Raymond Tripp for president, John Leonard, vice-president; Joanne Powers, secretary; and James Young, treasurer. Edward Cornell and John Selzer joined the class this year. Although no longer with us John i s still in the memory of his classmates. Although only in their second year at M.H.S. many members of the class had already stepped into the limelight. Alro in its sophomore year the class was recognized for its high scholastic standing. When September of ' 49 came around the Class of ' 51 as Juniors took another step to- ward its goal by electing Dick Wood, presi- dent; Luther Zai, vice-president; Joan Bisson- nette, treasurer; and Joanne Powers, secretary. The newcomers during the course of this year were Richard Gammon, Shirley Kinney, and Helen Skaradoski. As was noted in its freshman year our class had an unusual supply of good athletes. But let it not be said that the girls were outdone in this field, for cur most prominent athletes were not only Bobby Brown. Dick Wood, Bovd Iseminger, but also, Sally Alger and Joan Bis- . ' onnette. Other promising athletes were Carl Hewitt, Terrv Howard, Mary Gerrior. Nancy Lewoczko, Mary Lou Casey, Virginia Norris, and Marilyn Churchill. The big social event of the year was the Junior Prom, which was held on April 28, 1950, with Jerry Davis and his orchestra supply- ing an excellent selection of music for the occasion. At last the year arrived for which the class as a whole was striving. In September of 1959 we entered as seniors. The class can well be proud of the officers it elected to lead it in its most eventful year at M.H.S. Dick Wood, presi- dent; John Leonard, vice-president; and Joan Bissonnette, treasurer; were all elected for a second term. While Joanne Powers, serving her fourth year as a class officer, was elected secretary. With these four veteran politicians at the helm the class had nothing to worry about. The entire student body can be congratulated for its wise selection of Dick Butler as president of the Student Council for 1950-51. Dick Mal- tais was elected vice-president and Marilyn Churchill, secretary. Under Dick ' s able leader- ship the student council has come a long way this year. In its final year the class had one new ad- dition to its ranks, Shirley Butler. Although she has been with us for only a few months, she has become well liked by all, and we are very glad to have her with us. The senior play, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur ' s Court , was one of the best plays put on by a senior class in M.H.S. It was held at the Town Hall on December 8, 1950. Miss Alden directed the play with the able as- sistance of the student director, Margaret Kayajan. The members of the cast were Hank Bennett, John Leonard; Marion, Marilyn Churchill; Mrs. Bennett, Evelyn Dwyer; Mer- lin, Richard Maltais; King Arthur, Thomas O ' Rourke; Queen Guenevere, Jean Hale; Clar- ence, Laurence Osborne; Sir Sagramor, Vincent Jacintho; Elaine, Judith Kennedy; Sir Lancelot, George McCrillis; Sandy, Irene Malkosky; Queen Morgan LeFay, Audrey Sault; Speaker, George McCrillis. This play could not have become the great success that it was without the help of the many committees and the im- portant but little noted duties performed by various individuals.
