CLASS As we, the Class of 1955, look back over the last four years, we realize how significant and eventful they have been. From the time we entered as freshmen up until the present, we have strived to attain the one goal placed above all others: maturity. Our first step in organizing the class was the election of class officers. They were as follows: Michael Drummey, president; Larry Corcoran, vice-president; Roberta Bamford, secretary- treasurer. Our first social event of the year was the annual Freshman-Senior Dance which was held on October 26, 1951. The money obtained from this dance was entered as our first deposit in our newly formed treasury, a treasury which eventually proved to be one of the largest in the history of the school. On November 26, 1951, a very enjoyable assembly was put on by Chief Nee-da-beh. The Chief demonstrated different methods of calling geese, crows, and other animals. He also showed films of himself demonstrating the proper technique of fly-casting. To conclude the pro¬ gram, Chief Nee-da-beh and Viddie Knightly performed a spectacular Indian dance. On December 17, 1951, another interesting and profitable assembly was held. Mr. Bert Hill, a representative of the J. W. Robinson Co., presented Mr. John Donovan, on behalf of the school, the keys to a 1952 Dodge four-door sedan. This assembly marked the beginning of the driver-training program in our school, a course which enabled many to learn the proper way of driving em automobile and the common courtesies of the road so often neglected by the average driver. The annual Brooks-Johnson Scholarship examination was given to enable two qualified freshman boys to transfer to Brooks School at the end of the freshman year. The two winners were Michael Drummey and Leonard Perkins. Thus, we climaxed our freshman year. As sophomores, we elected Larry Corcoran as president, Maureen Smith as vice-president and Barbara Driscoll as secretary-treasurer. That year we added a new member to both the faculty and the class, Reed Kingston Taylor, director of speech and dramatics, and Pat Dineen, a student from Lawrence High School. Having removed the traditional “before” and “after” lunch period, the following new classes were added: music appreciation, speech, consumer education, and art in everyday life. Since this was an election year, the school took part in a mock election. The results proved interesting for our selections coincided with those of the adults. Later on that year we were given the opportunity of watching the President’s inaugural address. Three television sets were installed for this purpose. On February 27, 1953, the annual Sophomore-Junior Dance was held. The proceeds from this affair were equally divided among the two class treasuries. As juniors we re-elected Larry Corcoran as president of our class, Maureen Smith as vice- president, and Elsie Thomas as secretary-treasurer. In a successful attempt to enrich our treasury we sold red and black Johnson pins to our classmates. This year we welcomed two new teachers to our faculty. Miss Harriet Dunham began her stay with us by teaching problems of democracy, physical education and health, and by coaching the girls’ basketball team. Mr. Harwood Steele began by teaching typewriting and junior business training in the commercial field, along with consumer education. The school play, entitled “Curtain Going Up,” featured three junior class members. Helen Marie McCarthy, Rob erta Bamford, and Bob Kellan represented us well. The motion picture, “Lost Boundaries,” was shown to an audience of students in the hall at 2:00 p.m. in February of our junior year. We enjoyed many interesting assemblies during the year. Among them were a polio assembly at which a movie was shown of Camp Sea Haven, Plum Island, Massachusetts, which is used for children stricken with polio, and an assembly at which members of the Registry of Motor I 26
