7:21 Little did we anticipate in September, 1949, as we entered the portals ofN. H. S. for the very first time, the work and fun that was to pack the next four -4 adventurous years. Launching new careers on that day were forty-three tra- ditionally eager, but somewhat green freshmen who were to accept a very f wholesome part in the school's round of activities. Q As we return with golden memories--and a few red faces--through these past years, we recall the many steps which have led towards the Treasure-- Graduation in June 1953. Being the freshman crew of the student body, we were assigned to our first home room, Room Three, where we found that we were to be captained by Miss Rheault. As the year got underway we elected our commanding officers for the en- suingschool session. They were: President, Lemuel Johnston, Vice-President, Elmer Bailey, Secretary, Shirley Hood, Treasurer, Edward Hamel, Student Council Representatives, Donald Mullen and Barbara Foley. However we were not wholly accepted at N. H. S. until our hilarious Freshman Reception, when, with a certain amount of humiliation and good spirit, we were put through a variety of stunts. This eveningwas preceded by a fun filled day in baggy clothes, bowing to seniors, shin- ing shoes, passing out lollipops, but it was all taken in fun and we soon found ourselves embarking on a very exciting course. During the year the class participated actively in sports, clubs, and the social life at N. H. S. In January, Mr. McGrath, the headmaster who had welcomed us to Newmarket High retired and was temporarily replaced by Mr. Economopoulos. In February our present principal, Mr. Avery, took the post and immediately undertook the task of guiding our high school careers. We presented our first assembly in March in the form of a film and we followed with our first social-- the Shamrock Dance. Gaily decorated in the St. Patrick's Day mood, the auditorium set the stage for a very enjoyable evening. As the year drew to a close, we held our last class affair by spending a glorious day atSalisbury Beach. September, 1950, found us returning to school, this time well-versed on the do's and don'ts of N. H. S. We immediately took our seats in Room 4 where Miss Wood was to be our home room teacher. Under her guidance we elected our sailing officers. They were: President, Donald Mullen, Vice-President, James Labrancheg Secretary, Jacqueline Gagnon, Treasurer, Shirley Hood, Student Council, Jeanne Hamel and Roger Labonte. Dancing to the music of Bob Wormwood's Orchestra, we held the traditional and beautiful Sophomore Hop in November of our second year. Amidst gala decorations and soft music, the feature of the evening, the Grand March, was performed by the sophomores. It was a wonderful evening, never-to-be-forgotten. We presented two assemblies during the year, sponsored many affairs,and again, too, we climaxed the year with a trip to Salisbury Beach, where the roller coaster fiends were in their prime. Upperclassmen at last! And with a little more pride, as juniors, we took our places in Room Six in September of '51 with many activities confronting us. To accomplish these, we began by electing our officers for the term under the supervision of Mr. Le- Bouthillier. President, Edward Hamelg Vice-President, Jeanne Hamel, Secretary, Shirley Hood, Treasurer, Bettie Marelli, Student Council, Lucille Filion and Donald Mullen. They arrived at long last--our flashy onyx and gold class rings. We were all very proud of our em- blems and vowed to uphold their symbols.
