8 THE SENIOR YEARBOOK opened on September 8, 1948. The Brookline students transferring to Nashua High School caused the decrease in number. Juniors! How pleasing that word sounded when we began to think that in a year we would be seniors. The class officers elected for that year were: Daniel Fraser, president, Shirley Hills, vice- president, Barbara Fisher, secretary, and Dennis Comolli, treasurer. Miss johnson and Mr. Camp were our advisers. Later, Mrs. White replaced Miss johnson, who had left because of illness. The junior reporter for the Student Prints was Patricia Regan. We began our activities with a Harvest Supper. This was a very successful function and our class treasury was thereby enlarged. Basketball was again the most popular sport, many showed a great interest in the newly organized Tennis Club. Six members of the class were in the A. A. Play, Little Women. On December 10, we sponsored a vic-dance. In addition, on every Thursday in De- cember we sponsored card parties. It was on April 21 that we presented the hilari- ous comedy, The Dafy Dills, starring Charlotte McCallum, janet Hokinson, Mary Drew, Alma Trow, Barbara Fisher, Laura Karnis, Phyllis Ayers, Patricia Regan, Arthur Comolli, Keith Pomeroy, and Herbert Wexler. Miss Carden did an excellent job as our director. Something every junior class looks forward to is, of course, the junior Prom. Ours was held May 20, 1949, with a summer garden theme for the decorations. George Kay's orchestra provided the music. The last event of our junior year was the dance for the seniors which was held following gradua- tion exercises. Thus the third year of our high school life ended. September 1949 - june 1950 Seniorsl At last we could claim that word for our own. As usual, the senior homerooms were rooms 21 and 22. The election of class officers was held during our second class meeting. The following were elected: president, Dennis Comolli, vice-president, Shirley Hills, secretary, Barbara F isherg and treas- urer, Clyde Lusk. We welcomed our new class advisers, Miss Nagle and Mr. Pomeroy. The class colors, blue and white, decorated the class key which was hung above the door in room 21. We chose for the class motto, We Finish To Begin. Everyone on the yearbook staff under the di- rection of Mr. Chartrain has worked very hard to make our yearbook a success. We started our senior year with a Harvest Dance which was held on October 19, 1949. The gym was attractively decorated a la harvest theme, and Ken Foss' orchestra provided the music. Our senior class play, A Date With Judy, was a social as well as a financial success. janet Hokin- son, as Judy Foster, and the rest of the cast con- sisting of Barbara Fisher, Laura Bianchi, Mary Drew, Edna Foumier, Phyllis Ayers, Alma Trow, Charlotte McCallum, Betty Bruce, Herrick Rom- ney, Donald Gavin, Edward DuGray, Dennis Comolli and john Heelon did an exceptionally fine job of acting. Miss Walker and Mr. Chartrain were the able directors of this play. At the Sno-Ball, which was held February 4, Shirley Hills was chosen Snow-Queen. Winter Wonderland was the decoration theme used for this social venture. We have had other money raising events dur- ing the year. One of these was a successful indoor carnival which was held on April 27. Features of this affair were a fortune telling booth, a foto- frame-up, and Donald Gavin selling colored balloons. Many fine prizes were given away at the conclusion of the festivities. Although our class was unable to go on a class trip this year, we are planning to have a final get-together. Now we have achieved our goals - Baccalaure- ate, Class Day, and Graduation. These momentous days in our lives are days never to be forgotten. No matter where we may be or what we may be doing, we shall not forget our four wonderful years at Milford High, nor shall we ever forget the Class of 1950. Laura Karnis Joanne Skinner
