CLASS OFFICERS—Top: Thomas Brady, President; Soma Baldwin, Secrerary; Bottom: William Hawthorne, Vice-president; Ann Duffy, Treasurer. Off; tcerd Tom Brady, our class president, bears modestly the honors which measure his contribution to the school. We recognize him as a letter winner in football, wrestling, and track who also found time to be Speaker of the House of Representatives and to participate in all class activities. Bill Hawthorne’s role as vice-president called for much in the way of unheralded work, cheerfully done. Bill’s academic record is outstanding. In addition he was a member of our undefeated varsity football team, of our track squad and served as President of the Honor Society. Class Secretary, Soma Baldwin, has interests that are diverse, ranging from membership in the Honor Society, officer of the Coaches Club, cocaptain of the Garnet team, news editor of the Buccaneer, to Vice-President of the Library, to mention but a few. To her job of Secretary she gave conscientious perseverance. Pert Ann Duffy brought a bright smile to a job that is made up of endless details. Ann participated in a host of school groups. The outstanding financial success of our class activities are a tribute to her combination of personality and efficiency. Page nineteen

Unobtrusively, quietly, yet effectively, this friend of the Senior Class has guided it through a year in which all records for attendance at class events, all figures for sales on behalf of the class funds have been exceeded. The class and its adviser started off at a fast pace, indicating what whole-hearted cooperation can do, by sponsoring a Junior Prom that was attended by more students than any similar event in the school’s history. In the fall, the class took up where it left off with a brilliantly arranged Harvest Moon Ball. The decorations, program and publicity campaign all were supervised by Mr. Gruberg and they were outstanding. Our adviser and his willing helpers appeared with a refreshment stand at the football games and at various athletic events, hawking, pro maior gloria the Senior Class, pop, hot dogs and jaw-breakers. The year’s formal dances culminated in the sparkling Snow Ball where our senior adviser was content to stand smiling in the background while the king and queen were crowned on the glittering snow throne. As the members of this class depart they give a backward glance, a smile and a wave of the hand to their counsellor, friend and at times, taskmaster, who gave so unstintingly of his time, his effort and his inspiration to make this senior year an outstanding success.
