SENIOR CLASS

Page 11 text:

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The Class of 1951 was the first group of Seniors to experience the emergency status of being on a double-session program. Whether or not there is any distinction in having passed through such a state is not known. The class as a whole has done remarkably well in keeping up a high standard of school work, despite a drastically curtailed school day. The Class of 1951 also had a first” in that their group was largely responsible for bringing the first State Championship in Soccer for the medium and large schools to the Town of Newington. Another “first” was the remarkable piece of work in the field of salesmanship as exhibited by the greatest total dollar sales of any school in the State during the annual magazine subscription drive. It is rather difficult in writing at the half year mark to predict other areas in which your class may again rank first. Your energies have been well spent, your interests have been widely diversified, and your record is one to be envied. Future classes will hold in high esteem the various goals you have reached. The tradition you have started will give them new horizons to strive for. The 1951 Sequin 7
