OUR TOWN In the first act the author genially outlines the history of the town. which is Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, and something of the character of its citizens. Then he carries you into the houses of the Gibbs and Webb families, substantial homes containing substantial folks. You arrive at breakfast time and are carried through one entire day in the lives of these good people. The second act concerns the love affair between young George Gibbs and little Emily Webb, and thus culminates in a moving wed- ding scene, which contains all those elements of poignant sorrow and abundant happiness that make for solemnity and impressiveness. In the third act we are led to the cemetery on the hill, where many of the townspeople we have come to know so well are patiently and smilingly awaiting-not 'judgment' but greater understanding. Into their midst is led the bride, a little timid at first, a little wishful to go back to life, to live again with her memories. But she is shown how futile it is to return. The past cannot be re-lived. Living people, humans, occupied with their petty occupations and small thoughts, know little of true joy or happiness. Truth is to be found only in the future. 28 5

THANKS X 9 CNN to Mrs. Rhoades We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Rhoades to whom we are all greatly indebted. Not only has she been the guide of this yearbook, but also through- out our years at Mount Everett her interest and encouragement have inspired us to do our best. Long after we have graduated from this school, Mrs. Rhoades, we shall remember you and thank you for your love and understanding. fThe class also appreciates the many other teachers who have been with them at Mount Everett and regrets that each one cannot be thanked individuallyj 27

L JUNIOR PROM - 1960 As in past years, our class gave .1 junior Prom in honor of the seniors. The title, La Vie En Rose, was meant to convey the thought of life seen through rose--colored glasses. The buffet supper, which was served before the dancing, was quite delicious. Without the willing help of the mothers, the meal never could have been .is .ittractive or .is enjoyable as it was. The gym, .it least seen through our eyes, looked beautiful. Our rose tree, Eiffel Tower, Arch of Tri- umph and stage displayed the happy hours of work that we had devoted to presenting this dance. We used cooperation as our guide, and this is exactly what we received. Our class, with the many helpful teachers and mothers, joined together to make our Prom a success. Some claim that, as they left the dance, they had donned those rose-colored specs ! We hope that .1 good time was had by all. e R11 bgtiifmsv . I .f:Q-s X f 'fj 7 T L Q 5 pf g X! TT x is X J. 'E 1960 AURIGAN FAIR The Aurigan Fair of 1960 was a success. The weather was, fortunately for everyone, very pleasant. We were very happy when our class, then juniors, won the inter-class volleyball match. The wide variety of exhi- bits was most interesting. The concessions were varied and provided much fun. Mr. Chamberland's talent show was a hit. Both spectators and participants seemed to enjoy this type of entertainment. We feel that the student Council deserves a great deal of thanks for giving us this popular and worthwhile event. Because of the great variety of shows, exhibits and games, the fair can be enjoyed by all. i 5 av I' ,ia , .P ji If I I!-1,4 P 4 Q 1 -- ,-I' A. tx-,T ' f- ,fm !x A .rf i' -vw -4.- W be has
