Class Feistory To whom it may concern: Tomorrow we meet the world. Today we would like to turn back a few pages in appreciation of those who put the glitter into our high school life, who made high school a place to remember with a smile. It seems so very long ago that we came to Millbury High for that first day. Some of us may have been a little scared, but we buckled down and decided to be worldly and knowing, instead of just plain flighty freshmen. Everyone survived those first few weeks, and then it was time to elect our class officers. Those chosen were: Tommy Dunn, President; Edward Lonergan, Vice President; Carol Murphy, Treasurer; and Jessie Credit, Secretary. Carol Murphy, Betty Welcom, and Ellen Cullina were chosen as our cheerleaders. Our governing body established, we dropped our freshmen complexes and really got down to business. When football moved into the limelight, Bob Army and Ronnie Hairyes made a showing for our class. Field hockey moved into the picture about the same time and Betty Blondin, Mary Sweet, and Betty Welcom represented us in that sport. Many of our girls joined the Glee Club, and every Tuesday the whole school heard the sweetest music this side of the Assembly Hall. Donald Schroeder, Barbara Mazzeo, and Betty Welcom found their places in the talent group. When basketball season rolled around, John Herman was the only freshman boy in the sport. Betty Blondin and Lois Greenwood showed their skill on the girls’ team. By the time February arrived, we had heard so much about midyears that we were prepared for the very worst. We passed the exams and steered a direct course into spring. At this time we all went to see the school play and we, no doubt, clapped extra hard for Barbara Fox and Tom Dunn, our contribution to that galaxy of stars. Finally that first rose of summer was blooming, and the school doors were locked until fall. September crept up on us and the old familiar strains of school bells were ringing in our ears once again. This year we went head on into our business, for we realized we were no longer the ‘‘young ones.’’ Robert Hall was made Vice President, and the other officers were re-elected. The various clubs began to see more of us, and the Reflector boasted of Carol Mur- phy, Marji Shaw, Joyce Graves, Barbara Tarckini, and Jessie Credit on its staff. Again football season arrived, and Bob Army, Tom Markey, Donald Schroeder, and Ronnie Hairyes were out there trying. Betty Blondin and Betty Welcom went out for field hockey again, and this time they brought Barbara Tarckini along. It was impossible to have a basketball team, for the Town Hall wasn’t available for games; however there were intramural sports, and we did our best to see that our good players were kept in practice until the real thing could be offered again. After midyears had passed, we began to think of spring. Suddenly it was time to choose our class rings. Barbara Fox, Marie Capistron, Joan Roberts, Phil Angell, Tom Dunn, David Matson, and Carol Murphy made up the committee. At last our second year was over. Although it was hard to believe, we were already half way through our high school career and we were elated at the prospect of being juniors. When September came, we found that we had really become a part of the act. Upper classmen at last! And, oh boy, did we know it! David Matson was elected Vice Presi- dent, and the other officers remained the same. Football season brought a special feeling upon us. It was just sheer pride we felt when Bob Army, Donald Schroeder, Tom Markey, Ronnie Hairyes, Phil Angell and Tom Dunn showed us just what they could do. By this time David Matson had proved to be a very capable team manager. Some time later it was announced that five of us had received Horace Mann emb lems. These were Carol Murphy, Ann Schunmann, Marjorie Shaw, Nancy Milliken, and Jessie Credit. 12
