CLASS HISTORY by Dorothy Williams It all began back in 1944. There were only twenty- eight of us then. Years spent at the Elementary school were rather uneventful, although the fact remains that during our fifth grade life was seldom dull, since it was our fa te to have five teachers within five months. The reason for that quick-change act is still a puzzle. Fall of our seventh school year brought us to the hallowed halls of Orleans High School. Our first impres¬ sion was one of starry-eyed wonder, but the initial con¬ fusion soon subsided, and with the swift passage of two years we found ourselves confronted with the actual be¬ ginning of our high school career. At that time our small class underwent a period of expansion; we were joined by classmates from Brewster and Eastham. Soon after came the important election of class of¬ ficers. That was quite a decision since those chosen were to guide us through a difficult period of readjustment. John Freeman was elected President and he proved very worthy of the position. The school circus, an object of much preparation and of diligent efforts on the part of all th e students, was held in March. Our class was well represented by a few of the girls who had a dance act entitled, The Junior Rockettes.” Many tedious hours were spent in rehearsing this act, to the delight of a few unscrupulous boys, who managed to observe the activity from a secluded spot. That year came to a hilarious close with the first in a series of long to be remembered annual picnics at Nickerson park. By the next year class elections had become less of a problem, since everyone was now well aware of the abili¬ ties and short-comings of everyone else. John Freeman was again elected top ofifcial, with Barb Whitright, Vice- President, Louisa Chase, secretary, and Ronnie Munsey, treasurer. Everyone remembers our fist dance of the season, a Halloween Square Dance, where a good time was had by all. Our selection for play competition was, Dweller in the Darkness.” The cast put out an excellent performance and we received favorable comments from everyone. Another successful year was brought to a close by our annual picnic. The straw hat which was modeled by Lorraine Robbins will never be forgotten. Our choice for an assembly during our Junior year was a one act comedy, Too Much Mistletoe,” directed by our class advisor, Mr. Head. The class worked diligently during rehearsals and their eforts were well repaid, for many of the audience proclaimed it the greatest assembly
