Then came the days of all days—The Junior Prom. Stepping along in a fan¬ tastic wonderland, the dantily attired girls, and their beaming escorts tripped the light fantastic. Many thanks and con¬ gratulations should be given to Mr. Met¬ calf and his efficient staff composed of the following: Anthony lacovelli, Catherine Baci, Olga Sanchioni, Isabelle Copper, Lawrence Volpe, John Manuel, Emmelina Piscia, Rose Filosa, John Carchio, Alfred Cassinelli, and John Greene. They cer¬ tainly made our prom the very best ever. As usual Mr. Metcalf’s Science Club was able to present a very clever exhibition. They were also able to take in the sights of New York escorted by Mr. Metcalf. Need¬ less to say, only boys were eligible. At last the golden year arrived. Be¬ hind us lay the freshman’s humiliations, the sophomore’s tribulations, and the memorable junior year. All our past ac¬ tions had only led the way to our happy and yet sad senior year. When Mr. Berry announced names of the students who were to be representa¬ tives on the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee, a dark shadow seemed to cast down upon us, saying, “Your happy days of school life are now ending.” But nevertheless we set forth to make our book the best yet. We realized that we were leaving behind us all the joys and triumphs that we had encountered; but they would never be for¬ gotten, for we were storing them away in our book of memories. To Alfred Cassinelli again went the honor of being elected class president, with Catherine Baci as vice-president. Rose Filosa and David Moriarty were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. To help defray the cost of graduation, a Literary Club was formed, out of which six room treasurers were chosen to record all our pennies that we had saved over the week-end. As a result we were able to de¬ fray the many expenses of graduation. We were indeed proud of our digni¬ fied positions as seniors but when the Mil¬ ford - Framingham football game on November 11 glared at us from under¬ neath the calendar, we cast aside all dig¬ nity and once more rushed down to the train, which was to carry us to the Fram¬ ingham field. Even though we met with defeat, we carried home with us the sports¬ manship and joys of our holiday spirits. Assemblies, assemblies. First came the announcement of the Swift Oratorical Contest and we set to work with pens, busily writing on some phase of the Consti¬ tution. The winners of this contest were Alfred Cassinelli and Olga Sanchioni. Then came the Elks Essay Contest, and we stayed up all hours of the night scribbling to meet the deadline. From a large assort¬ ment of essays Miss Arlene Reynolds was was declared the winner. Oh! but the life of an essayist is a weary one and a brain- racked one. With essays and never-end¬ ing home work, our life was certainly a busy one. We indeed were proud when Alexandria Satkiewicz was named valedic¬ torian, and Josephine Cardani as saluta- torian. Robert Lynch was awarded third honors. At last Senior Week was upon us and our restrained pleasure immediately flared forth. Our committee had planned some gala and mirthful activities for us, and we planned to make this week a never-to-be forgotten event. Our theatre party proved to be one of the most successful on the pro¬ gram, followed by Senior Hop, which is, in the lives of all seniors, the dance of the year. Last, but not least, came Senior Night with a happy, yet sad aspect. Time is such an elusive fellow, who barely says “Hello” before we find him say¬ ing, “Goodbye”. The thought of com¬ mencement seemed to pierce our hearts like a sharp, glittering dagger, for this would bring to an end our happy dreams. Before we realized it, we were slowly marching to the stage. The third and last act was coming to an end. We had performed our part to the best of our ability, and we went forth to receive our reward, to seek out our fortunes in the huge and dazzling world, in a world full of turmoil and strife. We shall never forget the happy days we spent at Milford High School. 16
