In September, 1951, an old broken down steam engine puffed into the M.H.S. Depot and left one hundred and forty of its passengers standing a little frightened and cold on the platform. From the out- side the green young hopefuls looked into the four story building at a group of happy, experienced pro- fessionals. Slowly they made their way inside the warm first floor of the building and soon found their place in this very different world. With capable Barry Weaver as President assisted by William Levesque, Vice President; Beverly Bel- rose, Secretary; and Joan Jefferson, Treasurer; we started to gain in experience as well as intelligence. We gained respect quickly by adding something new — a class council. We started our climb up the ladder by having a Get Acquainted Social for the in- coming freshmen. Before we knew it, the porters had taken our lug- gage and comfortably lodged us on the second floor. We were Sophomores ! The controls of the class were handed to William Levesque, President; Barry Wea- ver, Vice President; Joan Jefferson, Secretary; and Francis Medeiros, Treasurer. Our talents began to really shine this year when Karin Beuthner and Catherine Horan won the Girls ' League interclass talent show. Although we were a busy class, we always had time for fun. We ended up our Sophomore year with a terrific Come As You Are dance on May 8. Everyone had a wonderful time and looked forward to future dances. Crash! One of the eager Juniors just fell up the stairs on the way to our new third floor berth. Now we were finally nearing the top and it felt pretty good. The class leadership was again handed to Barry Weaver, President; William Levesque, Vice Presi- dent; Joan Jefferson, Secretary; and our new Treas- urer, Patricia Hearn. Before we knew it, we were getting our class rings and having our Junior Prom. The decoration, pub- licity, and refreshment committees, assisted ably by the class officers and our capable faculty advisor. Miss O ' Neil, planned a very successful and enjoyable Prom. We made it! No more stairs! We were now using the elevator which took us swiftly to the fourth floor. For three years we had been holding our own, but we were sure this was our year. We now had thirteen members in the Silver M Society. The members were Lester Andrews, Florence Butler, Robert Estes, Pat- ricia Hearn, Joan Jefferson, Priscilla Leggee, Larry McDonald, Jeanne Madden, Francis Medeiros, David Mello, Kenneth Mortimer, Mary Sylvia, and Barry Weaver. Scholastically, we had twenty-four members in the Pro Merito Society. Our athletic stars who had been developing really began to shine this year. William Levesque, Lawrence McDonald, our football co-captains, Lester Andrews, and Terence Sparrow really gave forth with all their ability. Who said that women are the weaker sex? Our class had some of the most hard-working, able girl athletes ever to enter school. They included Caro- lyn Gravelin, Nancy Shurtleff, Jane Freitas, Gerel Washburn, and Joan Jefferson. Not only were our girls outstanding in athletics, but they also excelled in dramatics. Under the able direction of Miss Lewis nine girls presented the play This Little Hand. Congratulations, you were swell! Our cheerleading squad consisted of four very at- tractive young girls: Carol Rice, Jane Waite, Vivian Petrowski, and Sandra Nay. The boys are not to be forgotten, however, since they played an important part in all our activities. The Future Farmers of America will be remembered as the boys who got out early and graduated late. Our band, orchestra, and choir certainly require recognition since they are, to our way of thinking, the best you could find anywhere. The Senior year was enjoyed by all, and we will never forget those memor- able days. Well, the conductor ' s calling All aboard and everyone is boarding the Super-Chief, so we ' d better say, It was swell being here, and grab the caboose as our train speeds down the tracks of life.
