To break up the daily routine of study, we held our Junior Prom, which climaxed our third year successfully. Soon our fourth and last year was upon us, and we tried valiantly to live up to the honor of “‘dignified seniors.” Because Virginia had served us so honorably during our third year, she continued on as president. Robert Burnham was chosen vice-president, while Emily Kicak was selected as class secretary. Daniel Horvitz was reelected treasurer. The members of our crew who joined the Student Council were Leonard Baron, Millicent Bradshaw, Robert Burnham, Morris Koffman, Virginia Kougias, and Nelson Wood. Nelson Wood, chairman of the Class Book, was elected president of the Student Council, while Morris Koffman served as vice-president. During the year we held our ‘April Showers” dance, at which everyone had a grand time. Winifred Guba had charge of this successful affair. Girls who had achieved fame in the Girls’ League were Eleanor Sowle, president; Mabel Griffiths, vice-president; Lucille Millette, secretary; and Priscilla Kirk, treasurer. Our worthy sea members admitted into the Honor Society this year were Hilda L. Botelho, Winifred Guba, Eleanor Hall, Florence Howland, William Jenney, Deo- linda Lopes, Lucille Millette, Aline Robidoux, Helen Sylvia, Doris Wilde, Helen Winiarski, Roland Bessette, Natalie Powell became secretary of the Honor Society. The Dramatic Club received its share of graduating thespians. Those who gained extra prominence were: Robert Burnham, Marion Haworth, and Mabel Griffiths; President, Vice-President, and Secretary, respectively. Those who displayed their dram- atic ability in various plays produced on our stage were Mabel Griffiths, Morris Koffman, Marion Haworth, Edith Segall, Emile Leger, and Leonard Baoon. Our famed athletic heroes were: On the gridiron: James Hughes, Norman Freitas, Robert Burnham, and Kenneth Brown. Here Rita Hamlet, a cheerleader, helped to spur the boys on to victory. On the track: Warren Nute and William Bond. In Basketball: Warren Jones. In Golf: William Bond. Honorary positions of the Student Court bestowed upon our fellow students were Leonard Machado, defense attorney; Natalie Powell, supreme justice; Margery Whelan, justice; and Nat Hastings, justice. The R. O. T. C. afforded many of our boys a chance to gain prominence. After four years of determination and preseverance, we finally reached our goal— the goal of future success and happiness — the goal of knowledge. Slowly, but surely, our ship, where many hours of study were spent, proudly gained the harbor. Before we brought to a climax those four years of immense success, we held our Senior Prom and Senior Banquet, at which everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time. On January 26, with Diplomas in hand, and sadness in our hearts, we bade farewell to the ship that had so skillfully led us into the port of our life’s ambition. We set forth, this time armed with four years’ preparedness, to gain our place in the school of life. . “The past forever gone, the future still our own!” Emily Kicak, Secretary. 10
