What were the big events of your Sophomore year, Sheila? To begin our Sophomore year we had a big project. We had the honor of sponsoring the Freshman Reception. We chose the theme of This is Your Life. It was worth all the work and enjoyed by all. After the initiation we had a record hop with Hank Elliot as disc jockey. We ordered our class rings and received them in January. To end the year we had a picnic at Gull Pond. Jackie and I realized that lanolin cream doesn ' t help you tan and we both went home with terrific sun¬ burns. What did you do as Sophomores, Jeanette? Our Sophomore year was off to a good start with our dance entitled Bohemian Bop which will long be remembered for its different decorations. Especially those who were jungle sick for the next week. April rolled around again and this year our play was SHADOW OF A DREAM. Judi’s brogue, Sheila Bon- nell ' s sudden faint and Toom ' s wrap-around fur piece are hard to forget even if you wanted to. This was another victorious year for us and the class of ' 60 was well on its way to become one of the few classes that had ever won three years in a row, or so we thought. We had a class picnic this year at Camp Wono and despite the weather everyone, including Mr. and Mrs. Boynton, enjoyed themselves . . . Well, Sheila, our Junior year was one of the busiest ones we had. How was it down in Well fleet? Our Junior year had many problems. The main problem was raising money. We had a class of four and we all learned that most people don ' t like to buy Christmas cards in October. Jackie and I learned it ' s a long walk from the highway to town carrying a box of Christmas cards. Another problem was whether we should try to have a Junior Prom and the Senior Reception or to save all our effort and work and put it into a good Sen¬ ior Reception. We voted for the latter. We went to work and chose the theme of Out of This World. Vern, Charlie, Jackie and I set out to draw moons and cut out stars.

CLASS HISTOR Y The time has come for the Class of ' 60 to leave the portals of Nauset Re¬ gional High behind. Let us look back on our memorable years together. On a bright September morning 60 new pair of feet could be heard amid the noise of the first day of school. Our little and some big legs carried us to rooms 2 and 4 where our sizable group was divided. The lucky homeroom teachers were Mrs. Fulcher and Mr. Pettengill. Freshman year was the big step forward for now we were members of the elite high school. It was an exciting year for now we could participate in all those high school activities. Sheila, what happened in Wellfleet in our Freshman year? It was a big year for us, too. This was our chance to participate in the well-known, annual Freshman Reception. We realized it wasn ' t as bad as it sounded even though the Sophomores thought up some means things for us to do, as the theme was Truth or Consequences. After this initiation we were officially Freshmen and-allowed to take part in high school activities. At the end of our Freshman year we went on a class picnic to a wonderful spot on the Pamet River. Mr. Kane chaperoned. Vern and Charlie seemed to enjoy the swimming while the girls tried to get a tan. What were the exciting events of your Freshman year? The most important event of this year was the One-Act Play competition held in April. Our play was entitled Five for Bad Luck. No one will ever forget Bruce falling off the piano bench, the lamp shade falling off the lamp, beads popping backstage, and Linda ' s attempt at piano playing, and the loss of Alison ' s glasses. Despite these incidents and the seemingly hopelessness of the play, we won! There were certainly a proud bunch of Freshmen walking around for the next few days, and two happy teachers namely Mrs. Denman and Mr. Cochran who did so much to help us to our first spot of recognition. To end the year we had a class picnic at Robin’s Hill Beach where everyone enjoyed their sandy hot dogs and charcoal marshmallows. So ended our Fresh¬ man year. Our chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Koch were certainly good sports about it all.

The Reception was well-attended and couldn’t have been possible without the help of Miss Hooker, Class Advisor and Mr. Bolton, Art Director. We all learned that the auditorium ceiling was higher than we thought. And so ended our Junior year. What did you do in your Junior year, Jeanette? Along came our Junior year and a dandy it was too. In December of ' 58 we received our class rings. No upper or lower classman will ever forget those shirt polishings, looks and smiles that we gave our long awaited rings. April approached and plans were underway for that year’s one-act play. After all we had won two years in a row and this year we were hoping for another victory. Anxiety, hope, and confidence were in the air that night, however, it didn ' t seem to be enough because the judges didn ' t agree with us this year and the mighty Juniors lost. Do you remember Robbie ' s eerie silhouette and Micki’s toity-toid street accent? This was the year of the great debates between Leo and Dr. Brooks over the finer points of history. Dr. Brooks, somehow, was always the victor. Then Junior Prom time rolled around and Cathy Baldwin, our Chairman of the decorating committee, was busy cutting flowers, castles, etc. The theme this year was Chateau d ' Orleans. The gym was really beautiful, but it was Mr. Gallant ' s castle scene that gave the extra touch to everything. During the Grand March our two little chirping ducklings, who were the inhabitants of the little pool on the gym floor, decided to join the marchers and they were the cause of a large traffic jam. This was the year that Micki proved, beyond a doubt, the theory that acid does take the paint off the lab tables and Pammy, after five attempts or so, finally realized that wet test tubes do break when heated too quickly. It was also the year that some of our more daring girls decided to put some of their newly acquired chemical knowledge to work in the coloring of their hair. To the great surprise of everyone, including Tim Fife, we found that he had won the Math contest in school. However, his brother Jon couldn ' t possibly let the year go by without gaining some recognition so he was later chosen the U. N. delegate and along with Pete Soule, he went to Boys’ State. Pammy
