SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Presenting: A drama in four acts Time: September, 1954 Setting: Middleboro, Massachusetts Place: Memorial High School Characters: The class of 1958 As the curtain rises for the first act, we are found in high spirits and looking forward to our freshman year in M. H. S. Soon after our first class meeting we elected John McDonald, John Logan, Martha Nay, and Glenn Griffith to play the parts of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, . respectively. One of the highlights in our first act was our undefeated freshman football team, captained by Dave Butler and John McDonald. Diana Williams led the cheerleaders. One of the more serious scenes was the spring tapping ceremony when Elaine Battis and John McDonald were initiated into the Silver M Society. Our big social suc- cess of the year was the annual freshman-eighth grade Get Acquainted Dance which we put on in May. Before we knew it, the first act was over and when the curtain rose on the second act, we found ourselves no longer underclassmen, but somewhat more experienced actors called sophomores. The controls of this act were handed over to John McDonald, president, Frank Follett, vice-president, Martha Nay, secretary, and Glenn Griffith, treasurer. Our big scene came when we put on the Christmas dance, which was a big success and set a new tally for profits. Our other accomplishments were a baby picture contest and the tapping of two more members of our class into Silver M. They were Dianne Beckman and David Butler. Our acting talent really began to shine at the start of the third act. The leadership was again handed to John McDonald, who had the aid of Gordon Leighton, vice-president; Martha Nay, secretary; and Glenn Griffith, treasurer. The highlight of this act was our Junior Prom with the theme, Stairway to the Stars, which was very successful and enjoyable. Marion Barnard and Barbara Eayrs were the members of our class who were welcomed into Silver M during the third act. Another scene was the establishment of the Anchrier Chapter of the National Honor Society. After a short intermission the curtain rose on seasoned actors for the fourth and final act of our drama. Elected officers for our senior year were Gordon Leighton, president; Marion Barnard, vice-president; Patricia Atwood, secretary, and Glenn Griffith, treasurer. At the an- nual Silver M tapping Patricia Atwood and Lura Cole were chosen from our class ranks. The Student Council later elected Russell Austin, Ann Drysgola, Patricia Liepis, and Nancy Kinsman. Many other scenes came to light— the National Honor Society trip to New York, our Senior Play Fog Island, and the first use of the Cafeteria for a dance. Our sports activities really boomed with a successful football and basketball season. We took second place in the football league and beat Bridgewater in the Turkey Day clash. Foot- ball captains were Frank Follett and Dave Butler. Gordon Leighton, our captain and high scorer of the Old Colony League, and Dick Norris were chosen for the All-Star Basketball team. Let ' s not forget the girls ' teams that ran on to victories in basketball and hockey with both teams captained by Linda Lakey. The cheerleaders were led by Patti Atwood. Too soon, however, it will be time for the last curtain call for our high school years. Soon we will be actors on the stage of the world. Curtain.
