—19 THE IMHKTHEKIM LIGHT 41 — Qlali. ' Will lit Janet Hitler anil t ' la.Ttnn Diet We, the Senior Class of 1941, feel that we must hand down to someone, the characteristics which have brought us safe and sound (well, safe, anyway) through these past four years, so we pick on you, the undergraduates. We hope all will be taken in the spirit of fun as it is meant. Mel Andrews and Bill Baxter leave together per usual, to model for Bud Fisher, creator of Mutt Jeff . Catherine Battersby leaves with the rest of the Knitterbugs. Louie Beggs leaves Mr. Hartwell minus a genius in the Physics Lab. Connie Benjamin leaves weighted down by a certain football bracelet. Harold Berg leaves several underclassmen wondering what there is about the Ice Cream Shoppe in Attleboro that keeps him from noticing home talent. Ed Einstien Bielecki leaves amid books, figures, and papers to astonish (?) the profs, at M. I. T., while John, his brother, leaves to set up his woodwork- ing shop in the North End of town. Bill Bishop leaves his Boogie Woogie to whoever can stand it. Lillian Bohannon leaves the teachers without a story-teller. Ruth Brown and Anita Gendron leave to carry on in Grant ' s. Corrine Carr leaves unnoticed — maybe! Arthur Carufel leaves the girls of N. A. H. S. still fleeing from his candid camera shots. Alfred Chabot le aves in search of Claire. Good luck, Al! Yvonne Chabot leaves to join the gang on Eddy St. Robert Chabot leaves along with the rest of the Chabots. Bucky Clark leaves Miss Barber a nervous wreck. Al Cloutier leaves the managership of the football team to Greenie”. Priscilla Coburn leaves her pep to next year ' s cheerleaders. John Craig leaves playing his accordion. Claire DeRenzo leaves somebody else to talk about her nephew. Red Deware leaves Yvonne Poirier all alone (?) at the Lakeview Ball- room. Elmer Dillon leaves for Mansfield. I wonder why! Barbara Dupras leaves to join the navy full force . Connie Dyer will have to leave after the class gifts are distributed. Francis Fish leaves — What is there to prevent him?

THE NHItTHEHN LltlHT We were well represented on the football field by Ralph Hall, Roy Phipps, Jimmy Wing, Ruel Smith and Larry Kennedy. Hall and Precourt did the honors on the baseball and basketball teams. After patiently waiting for two years, we succeeded in having a very suc- cessful Junior Prom which helped us along financially. We also gave other dances but they proved to be only for the entertainment of the underclassmen. Then finally came that great day in September, when we returned as SENIORS to our favorite hang-out — old N. A. H. S. The teachers were overjoyed at having such an interesting body of seniors such as we, to help along, so they buckled down to work with grim looks and brave smiles. This year was most eventful and successful. Our election took place and we elected Ruel Smith, president; Janet Thompson, vice-president; Mildred Woodbury, secretary; and figure juggler Welch was again elected treasurer. This election will long be remembered because Smitty was elected for a THIRD TERM. The pigskin heroes for this year were Ralph Hall, Ruel Smith, Roy Phipps, Jimmy Wing, Larry Kennedy, John Roberts, Jimmy Messier, Clayton Dietz and Bucky Clark. The same players starred on the baseball and basketball teams as in the past year with one addition, Jimmy Messier, to the baseball team. The social year started with a Senior-Freshman Hop and ended with a Mexican Dance. This dance in the minds of everyone was the most colorful and successful dance ever to be held in old N. A. H. S. These dances along with the senior play, under the able direction of Miss Erving and the coopera- tion of an excellent cast, added greatly to our treasury. The intelligence of our class is shown by the number of representatives that we had on the debating team. The members were as follows: Hazel Wil- more, Jeanne McQuaid, William Bishop, and Dwight Thomas. The number of fine musicians in the class of 1941 will also be missed in the band and orchestra. This year Mr. Bronson is losing Marian Fisher, Anne Houghton, Bucky Clark, John Mason, Alfred Chabot, Leo Ringuette, Juliette and Yvette Labrie, Dottie Grosse, Dick Wall, Kenneth Fisler, Buddy Frobel, Arthur Carufel and Mary Kennedy. This year our class is proving its individualism by wearing caps and gowns, which is something that has never been done before in our hgh school. During our four years we have come to know and appreciate our teachers and we take this opportunity to thank them sincerely for their patience and perseverance, which has really been appreciated in spite of all the grumbling we have done. How we will miss this dear old school! So it is with DEEP regret we bid you all — Farewell! 4 ?— Page Twenty
