CLASS HISTORY The History of the Class of 1955 started back on one fateful day in September, 1951, Twenty- five anxious teen-agers, looking for a high school education, stomped up the back stairs and settled in Mrs, Gavin's room, We held our class election and chose the following: President, Virginia DuHamel; Vice President, Alan Newell; Secretary, Olga Maranjian; Treasurer, June Barrier; Cheerleader, Olga Maranjian, Although we didn't run any events during the year, frequent class meetings were held, at which the boys kept trying to impeach Ginny DuHamel, because they didn't like the efficient way she conducted the meetings, When we returned the following September, we were sorry to find that many of our classmates had left, Dick Pixley and Richard Woodin entered this year and proved to be a welcome addition, We elected the following: President, Alan Newell; Vice President, George Smith; Secretary, William Keough; Treasurer, Donald Ackroyd; Cheerleaders: Olga Maranjian, Elaine Christian, and Virginia DuHamel, After much discussion, we ordered our class rings from Bastian Bros, Mrs, Kenney, after trying to teach us biology and having to listen to our quarrels over class rings, felt she had ample qualifications to apply for the head nurse s job at Medfield State Hospital, Upon returning in September, we convened in the Junior room under the supervision of Miss Stapleton, The following were elected: President, Valerie McLean; Vice President, George Smith; Secretary, Olga Maranjian; Treasurer, Donald Ackroyd; Cheerleaders, Olga Maranjian, Virginia DuHamel, and Pat Fleming. We held a penny sale in November to help defray some of the expenses of our Junior Prom, After the penny sale we discovered that we had erroneously forgotten to raffle off a case of coke and two cakes, so we went up to Ginny DuHamel's and had a party, We worked hard on our prom during the next few months and finally the great day arrived, As Eddie Winiker's Orchestra played “Anchors Aweigh, the grand march, led by Valerie McLean, began an evening of great excitement and success, At graduation, Isaac Kramnick was awarded the medal for excellence in history and William Keough received the Harvard Book Award, Shirley Spencer was chosen to attend Girls’ State and Isaac Kramnick and Richard Woodin to attend Boys State, In the citizenship test given at Boys State, history was made for Millis when Isaac achieved a perfect score of 100% and Dick attained a score of 98%, The summer months flew by and before we knew it we were back in the halls of M.H.S, We were sorry to see Alan Newell move to Walpole as he was well liked by all, but were happy to welcome Nancy Gylfe to our class; When Mrs, Gavin discovered she was to be our homeroom teacher, she was overheard saying to Mr, Brown, “What did I do to deserve them again? We immediately elected the following: President, Issac Kramnick; Vice President, George Smith; Secretary, Olga Maranjian; Treasurer, Virginia DuHamel; Cheerleaders, Olga Maranjian, Vir- ginia DuHamel, and Pat Fleming, With the help of our parents, we ran three dances, sold refreshments at football games, sold Christmas cards, and ran other activities to help raise money for our Washington trip, In Decem- ber we held our Senior Play, “We Shook the Family Tree, under the direction of Miss Stapleton, Through the combined efforts of Mrs, Gavin, Shirley, and Pat, our yearbook, THE CRIMSON LIGHT, was very successful, Happy to have raised enough money to make it to Washington and back, we set out on April 17, Our chaperones for the trip were Mr, Tim and Miss Boggs, to whom we owe our heart-felt thanks, , As our'class gathers here tonight, I know each of us truly feels that we have only climbed the hill, and that the mountain lies before us, DONALD ACKROYD
