Big Moments This year '49-'50 brought many happy times to look back to with much pleasure in the years to come and all of us, we are sure, will be sorry to see our high school career come to an end, Last fall, for the first time in many years a student council was formed after the constitution had been adopted by the student body. The two Senior members are Eleanor Edmunds and Wallace Williams who is president. The Christmas program was sponsored by the Student Council. lt included a pageant, songs, and a Christmas tree, besides other attractions. The Senior Play, We Shook The Family Tree was given on November 4. The play was acclaimed a great success. The cast consisted of Marilyn Spaulding, Marilyn Powell, Robert Pilon, Eleanor Edmunds, Alice Beals, Betty Call, Shirley Waite, Wallace Williams, Berton Murray, John Sargent and Harold Whittemore. Edward Dexter and Carroll Thompson were in charge of scenery and lighting, Marjorie Rudner acted as prompter. Last fall, New London High attended two Shakespearean plays present- ed by the Margaret Webster Company at Dartmouth. The plays were Taming of The Shrew and Julius Caesar and were enjoyed by everyone. An assembly was presented in October by the Senior English Class which included skits of foreign languages and slang presentations. The Senior Class visited the Rumford Press in Concord, and saw first hand the varied techniques of printing, This trip was in conjunction with the study of the newspaper. In the fall a reception in honor of the new girls was held in the Home Economics room. Refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed by everyone. The Senior American History Class attended Town Meeting in March to see democracy in action. Senior pictures were taken in November by Vantine of Boston, and Yearbook pictures in February. What a lot of hair smoothing and makeup fixing went on. Alice Beals and Anita Colby upheld the Class reputation by being among the winners in this year's Prize Speaking Contest. Senior Essay contest winners this year were Anita Colby, first prize, Alice Beals, honorable mention. Class honors announced in April, went to Robert Pilot, Marilyn Powell, Marilyn Spaulding and Eleanor Edmunds, Yearbook ads presented a real problem at one time, but our hopes were finally realized and it looked as if we would have the Yearbook after all. The Senior trip to New York has been one of the most exciting events of the year. lt included a three-day stay in New York with visits to the Statue of Liberty, Radio City, and other important points of the city, and three evening shows. Everyone had a marvelous time. ln June came exams and then that fatal week that ended with - SCHEDULE OF GRADUATION ACTIVITIES Senior Reception June 9 Class Day Exercises June I2 Baccalaureate Service June ll Graduation Exercises June I3 C223
