▼ T JMsitorp ▼ Because of their wonderful work for our class, we re-elected Bob Harris as our president, Judy Tetler as our vice-president, and Susan Lodge as secretary-treasurer. In October we ordered our class rings and eagerly awaited their arrival in February. How proudly we flashed them around as signs of seniority! Kay Verda, another member of our class, was inducted into the National Honor Society. On September 30 we had an interesting assembly at which James Titus, a singer of spirituals and a story-teller, entertained our school with several stirring selections, many in the Negro dialect of the South. Late in February a junior class meeting was held, at which time it was decided that we would hold a bakery sale as a means of raising money for the class treasury. A large sum was added to the treasury as a result of the sale. In March of that year we elected three members to the Prom Committee besides our class officers. Those representing our class on this committee were George Haigh, Judy Knightly, and Eileen DeBurro. In the annual school play Man of Seventeen,” two junior class members were featured. Dot Stansel and Carolyn Smith represented us well. We chose Loring as our class photographer. On June 7th the most important social event of the year was held, the Junior-Senior Prom. Many of our classmates attended and helped to make it a great success. And so closed our junior year, which left us with a year remaining in our high school career. SENIOR YEAR As seniors we reached the pinnacle of our high school careers. This year we elected as our president John Markey, who proved to be a very successful leader. Mike Cahill served as vice-president, and Susan Lodge as secretary-treasurer. This year we welcomed Mr. Regan, Mr. Christison, and Mrs. Collins to our faculty. In December of 1956, Miss Clara Chapman retired after thirty-three years of teaching. She will always be remembered for her patience and understanding in her physics and chem¬ istry classes. At the Christmas assembly our class president, John Markey, presented Miss Chapman with a gift as a token of appreciation for all that she had done for us. During February a class meeting was held, at which time we decided to whom the yearbook would be dedicated. The Misses Clara and Veva Chapman were chosen for this honor by our class. We also decided that the class would wear caps and gowns at graduation. At another meeting we selected red and white as our class colors. Mr. Hayes announced the class honors. Laura Curtis was chosen as valedictorian, Louise Mooradkanian as salutatorian, and Dot Stansel as class essayist. We chose John Gallant as our class orator and Judy Tetler and Billy Blackstock as class marshals. John Markey was elected as our Good Government Day Representative and Judy Knightly as the recipient of the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. This year the name of the yearbook was changed from The Gobbler to The Knight. William Blackstock, Bob Harris, and Bill Nicora served with the class officers on the Prom Committee. April 5 and 6 the annual school play was presented. The members of our class who helped to make the play a success were Susan Lodge and Dot Stansel, who played their parts very well. We will never forget the four glorious years of our high school career at North Andover. As we sadly leave our high school days behind, we will always remember our class motto: With the ropes of the past we will ring the bells of the future.” Dot and Nicky

▼ ▼ ▼ Class FRESHMAN YEAR As we, the Class of 1957, look hack over our four years of high school, we recall the eventful day of September 5, 1953, when we first entered the doors of Stevens Hall. After a brief talk by Mr. Hayes, we timidly proceeded to our first class. As little” fresh¬ men we had our first stab at politics — election of class officers. We chose as our first class president Bob Harris. The office of vice-president was filled by Roberta Kay, and as secretary- treasurer we elected Rhoda Broderick. Our class was increased by three pupils: Leland Berg, Bob Chesel, and Dolores Belluardo, all of whom were valuable additions. Our first social event of the year was the Freshman-Senior Dance on October 30. The dance acquainted us with our superiors in the senior class. The annual Brooks Scholarships were awarded to Richard Ashworth and Dale Midgely as a result of their superior achievements in the competitive examination. As freshmen we enjoyed many assemblies, one of which dealt with fire prevention and showed us the common, careless mistakes that cause fires. As June approached, everyone was busily packing equipment to be tr ansferred to the new North Andover High School. We were grateful to have been able to spend a year at the old Johnson High School. Thus, as the last freshman class, we sadly bade farewell to good old Johnson!” SOPHOMORE YEAR We entered our sophomore year as much older and wiser” students. We were very fortunate to have the pleasure of moving into the beautiful North Andover High School with its new educational and recreational facilities. Ordinarily we would have looked with condescending amusement at the confused fresh¬ men, but since the surroundings were new to all of us, everyone was just as confused as the Frosh. As sophomores we re-elected Bob Harris to the presidency, Judy Tetler as vice-president, and Sue Lodge as secretary-treasurer. There were seven new additions to our class — Gloria Berube, Kathleen Greenler, Brenda Spofford, and Herbert Whittemore came to us from Boxford. Mike C ahill, Carol Uhle, Lennie Annaloro hailed from Lawrence High. In the annual school play The Goose Hangs High,” three members of our class added to the success of the event. They were Louise Mooradkanian, Bob Harris, and Russ Aaronian. During our sophomore year we had many interesting and educational assemblies. On March 8, 1955, Mr. Whitmore, representing General Electric, presented the House of Magic.” Included in the program were explanations of the principles of jet propulsion and of various kinds of fluorescent lighting. Another interesting program was given on April 11 by a repre¬ sentative of the Museum of Science in Boston. He presented an informal lecture on animals commonly found in New England. We were very proud of the five girls who were inducted into the National Honor Society this year. They achieved this goal because of maintaining a general average of 90 or over in their studies throughout their high school careers. The new members were Laura Curtis, Judy Knightly, Alice Miller, Louise Mooradkanian, and Judy Tetler. And so closed the sophomore year and the first half of our high school career. JUNIOR YEAR At the close of our annual summer vacation, we left our fun behind and returned to N. A. H. S. as upperclassmen. We were pleased to welcome Jean Cahoon, Dot Stansel, and Frank McCarthy as additions to our class.
