The ASSXIXWQIV - 1936 ADDRESS OF VVELCOME As president of the Senior Class it is an honor and privilege to welcome the parents, relatives and friends of my classmates to our Class Day Exercises. It is ailpropriate at this time that we call to mind the patience and advice of the teachers who guided us through these twelve years that we might obtain an edu- cation worthy of our school and our com- munity. The appreciation and encourage- ment of our parents has a place in our hearts as we gather here today. Study and ambition have brought ns to this goalg our youth and confidence will aid us to paramount success. Again, on behalf of my classmates, I ex- tend to you sincere and hearty welcome to the Class Day Exercises of nineteen hun- dred and thirty-six. ROBERT MCGONVAN use HI gin. Just prior to Calvin Coolidge's election to the Presidency, a group of some two hundred six-year olds were enrolled in eight grammar schools. This initiatory step by fond parents created what is today one of Natic-k's outstanding associations- the Flass of '36. Thus the embryo of a thriving group of citizens originated. lluring the period antedating 1930 this uuknit but flourishing organization surged through the primary grades. We swept down upon the Junior High School with our tal:-ute-d horde: not too promptly re- cognized. perhaps. but nevertheless a group to bt- reckoned with. In the eighth grade, bf-hind our able champion, Miss Finn, we made a mark for ourselves. As the haughty sf-niors of that establishment we were un- parallf-lf-d by any class before or since. PAGE FOVK Then. simultaneously with the New Deal. leaving our unblemished record be- hind us. we advanced on the Higli School. Alas! here we received a temporary set- back. It is true that for a time our cocki- ness deserted us, and we were properly im- pressed with the serenity of this great seat of learning. We were hardly so audacious, ratl1er we were somewhat meek in the face of its dignified corridors and awesome in- habitants. These consisted of the clamor- ous juniors above and the imperturbabLe seniors below. The following months were marked by strange exacting labor and novel conscientiousness of effort which had never before shown itself. This, and an uncanny desire to co-operate, were appar- ent during our sophomore year. As juniors the class became acquainted with someone totally different as a teacher than we had previously encountered-Mr. Howard Leahy. His progressive ideas greatly enhanced the school s capacity to educate. During the year we really organized our classg the natural leaders asserte-d them- selves and we elected Tom McCormick, president: Robert McGowan, vice presi- dentg Victory Hill, secretary. and Vincent Saunders, treasurer. This fact, combine-d with the outstand- ing play of the members of our class on the football team, considerably revived our fallen demeanor. From this time on we duly exemplified the model junior class- our grades suffered correspondingly. But through it all our undeniable talent show- ed itself. The Prom was the highlight of the year socially, and our executive board deserves much praise for the financial and social success of that affair and their hard work on all that has come up since. In the fall oif 1935 our senior year be- gan and too, the double session plan went into effect. Unfortunate as this may seem. it presented the chance to show the irue calibre of our class. Co-operating in the crisis with an efficient faculty, our class has maintained the standards of Natick High.
