in Ugg! N A I in Ufaas. av,-fiifofcy by gordon geid and Albert .Barsen A September morn two score and five months ago marked one of the most momentous days in the history of this school. The class of 1940 had entered this great institution of learning known as the North Attleboro High School. We were embarking on a great ship of knowledge for a voyage of no more than four years twe hopedl. There were many obstacles to be overcome but the dauntless courage of this class was not to be trifled with. With remarkable fortitude we set our course for that auditorium stage, which four years later we were determined to descend with the proverbial parchment. Ah! But enough of this reminiscence, we have reached our goal and are now on the threshold of the world, which we will conquer with the same forcefulness. There is no better time than the present to take you back over the four years of our high school career and let you follow the eventful course of our class. We, like our predecessors, entered into this great edifice and faced the same program. We, however, did not act the same. It was immediately evident to the teachers and upper classmen that we had that certain something that is in the makeup of all great classes - a certain something called oomph. Be- yond the shadow of a doubt, we were THE class. We started off with a bang. No grass grew under our feet. At our initial election the Australian ballot system prevailed, and We elected Gorham Under- hill, president: Shirley Leven, vice president: Barbara Beetlestone, secretary: and the financial affairs of the class were handled by that great tycoon of finance, Albert Larsen. At our first social event we were the guests of the Seniors at the Senior- Freshman Social. ln the three major sports of the school our boys were confined to the fresh- man teams during our first year. When we entered school the following September we looked with ridicule upon the Freshmen and envy upon the Seniors. At our election as Sophomores, Norman Horton was chosen president: Shirley Leven, vice president: Alfred Reilly, secretary: and Gordon Feid took over the defunct treasury. We were the first class in many years to hold a Sophomore Sorority Social. This dance was a tremendous social success and increased the capital in our vaults con- iderably. This year an operetta entitled Ask the Professor was put on, in which, many of the more prominent members of the class took part. Our athletes did not blossom out too numerously during our Sophomore year. We had an undefeated season in football and with the making of the varsity by Norm Horton and David Sutherland in football, and Gordon Feid in baseball com- pleted our athletic endeavors for the year. Upon entering school the following year as Iuniors the class officers were elected as follows: Norman Horton, president for a second term: Eleanor Messier, vice president: Norma Malinowski, secretary: and Styles Simpson, treasurer. This year was featured by the holding of that great social event the Iunior Prom. A Iunior Sorority was also held and was a great hit with the girls of all the classes. Shirley Leven left us when we became Iuniors to reside in Providence. Page Twenty
