HISTORY OF THE CLASS Sam Aaron Margolis Richard Kasakaitis One day, Sam and I sat down and began reminiscing over the history of our class from grammar school days until the present. We have even given some thought to the future of our class. The things that we recalled were: the large class we had back in our first years of school, the homework, the stern teachers, the day after our Prom and detention--but most of all we remembered the fun we had. Recollections of our early class history are vague. The most important thing we remember is the big class that we were from the first to the fourth grade. Then we slowly started to decrease in size from the forties to the twenties, the size of our present class. I don't think that any of us will forget the first few days of our Freshman year. In those days, we were always late for our classes, and we all thought that the homework was too much for us; but detention soon cured this. Our Freshman homeroom teacher was Mr. Killilea, coach of boys’ sports. I don't think many of the girls in our class will forget running to the back stairs to welcome him to school each day. Our Freshman Class consisted of twenty-four students--fourteen girls and ten boys. During the course of the year, Frances Fulton, who came from Jeffersonville, Vermont, joined our class, but soon moved to Holliston. We lost two other classmates this year--Billy Just and John Gass. Our class officers were: President------------- John Young Vice President----- Joanne Gannon Secretary---------- Patsy Brodeur Treasurere-----n----- Doris Veiner The day before our Christmas vacation began, the class had a Christmas party. We gave Mr. Killilea a pipe and some tobacco which, after a little pleading, he filled and smoked. Our homeroom was the great attraction this year; everyone sang, even Mr. Killilea, who gave us his rendition of some of his school songs. We started our Sophomore year with twenty-three students--four- teen girls and nine boys. Our homeroom teacher was Miss Fiola under whose supervision we elected the following class officers: President------------ Lenny DiCenzo Vice President---------- John Young Secretary------------- Danny Gordon Treasurer- -=-------- Patsy Brodeur
