CLASS HISTORY By JANICE SHAFER and KIMBERLY LODGE Listen, my classmates, and you shall hear Of historic events of our past four years. ' Twas the fourth of September in ' 63 Hardly a senior is now among thee Who will forget that hectic day and year. As the last freshman class to enter the school Obey the seniors was the general rule. We were teased and abused and we lost our way, But finally came that one great day When we were received in grand array. When brisk October rolled around, Our freshman royalty was crowned. Carolyn Smith was queen and Bill Galarneau was king, And as the Grand March began we found That our class officers were victory bound (Pres. Bill Laffin, V.P. Eileen Cunningham, Sec. Sara Hanson, and Treas. Beth Tobia.) And our Student Council marched to the sound (Nancy Langevin, Marcia Perrault, and Joyce Borren.) ' Twas the dead of winter by the village clock. To the Military Ball we all did flock. There was gaity and dancing until dawn, And when we all became tired and worn, We sadly departed to the sound of the cock. The winter came and went And Field Day was the Cadet ' s next event. When the activities were done, Richie Waithe, John Salmon, and Greg Bernardi had won And they looked forward to the days yet to come. From our class, two majorettes they chose, To the sound of the march, Harriet Kiriajes and Barbara Perkins rose With radiant smiles and pointed toes. They accepted their victory with gracious pride To do their best they would always strive. Suddenly we realized it was June. No more were we freshmen to follow the tune Of seniors all mighty and juniors vain. We ' d sun at the beach and return again To a higher caste in Tenney ' s domain. When we returned to school in September, Hard work and study were on the agenda, But our services we were still to render For in rank our class was still the youngest. Once again we flocked to the polls. On these sophomore officers we were sold (Pres. Fred Nassar, V.P. Eileen Cunningham, Treas. Beth Tobia, Sec. Joanne Grasso) And our Student Council members (Suzy Schruender, Ann Gross, Nancy Langevin, and Kathy Brown) were told That they ' d speak for our class for another year. Our new representatives we all did cheer. Winter crept up on the heels of fall And again it was time for the Military Ball. Red, white, and blue crepe paper hung in the hall. We watched the drills and danced ' til dawn And before we knew it the night was gone. ' Twas the warmth of spring by the village clock Being measured for class rings was the general talk. D.A.R. medals two did win Jan Shafer and Bill Laffin received the pins. And we anxiously awaited our rings ' coming in. At cheering tryouts on the bleachers we did sit To watch the girls cheer and do their splits And six sophomore girls that they did pick Marion Winward, Ellen Kenney, Suzy Schruender, Marcia Perrault, Mai Clark, Beth Tobia were congratulated by all. As they quickly made plans for the coming fall. Majorette tryouts came in May Barbara Perkins and Harriet Kiriajes were chosen, needless to say, As the Cadets looked forward to field day. Richie Waithe, Ron Kobrenski, and Bill Kaupinis rose to great heights, And Ron had the Patenaude medal in his sights. Looking ahead to our junior year, We were suddenly filled with hopes and fears Finished was half of our high school career. As upperclassmen we ' d made the grade, And, in our class, history was made. We again elected our officers four Pres. Fred Nassar, V.P. Ron Kobrenski, Sec. Joanne Grasso, and Treas. Harriet Kiriajes all knew the score. For our Student Council we chose five more. (Kathy Brown, Ann Gross, Suzy Schruender, Glenn Kachadorian, and Nancy Langevin) Who ably spoke for the junior class Our approval they did pass. ' Twas October fifth in ' 65 When our class rings did finally arrive. To flaunt them to our peers we did strive. We were now upperclassmen free and clear And left in high school we had two short years. Cadet activities were in the spotlight And the Military Ball was a happy night When Ron Kobrenski, Richie Waithe, and Bill Kaupinis won the Junior Drill honors. Then Field Day was again upon us And the boys who won (Richie Waithe, Ron Kobrenski, Pete May, and Patenade Medal winner, Ron Kobrenski) were at their height. At cheering and majorette tryouts we did applaud, For their efforts these girls made the cheering squad (capt. Suzy Schruender, Beth Tobai, Marcia Perrault, Mai Clark, Joyce Borren, Marion Winward, Ellen Kenney, Eileen Cunningham, Donna Fichera, Barbara Lawton and Jackie Ciras)
