The OOllTHEfiO LIGHT The s ummer recess by, and with joyous hearts we returned to spend our final year in school. At last we assumed the role of dignitaries and looked with scorn upon the throng of our youthful admirers, known as the underclassmen. Again the ballot boxes were opened, and Jimmie Swanezy was reelected presi- dent, Betty Riley retained the vice presidency, Norma Davignon took over the role of the secretary, while the treasury was handled by S. Tutelian, that political im- presario. The football team studded with senior stars, namely. Captain Moe Young, Jimmie Swanezy, Austin Ryder, Martin Carr, Bobby Leiper, Jack Atwood, Steve Tutelian, Charlie MagnanI, and Gus Holbrook, gave a good account of itself at all times. The basketball team captured a few of their encounters with Captain Charlie MagnanI, Len Welch, Bobby Leiper, and Chet TwardzIckI sporting the Red and White. The baseball team, because of the situation caused by the war, played a successful but abbreviated season. Captain MagnanI, Bobby Leiper, Len Welch, Jack Atwood, Paul O ' Neil, and R. J. Shanty Greene performed under the watch- ful eye of Mr. Yates. The Seniors played host at tour highly successful d ances, and the Senior Play, Anne of Avonlea , a heavy drama, was produced and directed under the capable supervision of Miss Erving, our dramatic coach. These added financially as well as being socially successful. Mr. Bronson will suffer greatly from graduation as he will be losing exceptionally fine musicians when he loses Len Welch, . Paul Gumberland, Normand Brissette, Tommy Norton, Gurt Jordan, Charlie MagnanI, and Virginia Copeland, who played In the band and orchestra. Rita Carufel, Claire Clavette, and Gerry Riley added their angelic voices to the Glee Glub. Gerry Riley, Dot McNeil, and Betty McManus twirled their batons In front of the band. Leading North ' s thunderous cheers, were Nan Rhind, Rita Garufel, Barb McBride, Bev Rose, whose untiring efforts are to be commended. The Red Gap staff boasted several senior newspaper genii and the Northern Light was compiled by very competent members of our great class. As Father Time, In his familiar robes, steps In and the curtains of our high school career is about to close, we pause for a moment to thank our teachers who have guided us over the rocky course with perseverance and patience, and we hope that we have served as an Inspiration to our successors. And so It Is with a feeling of remorse that we bid farewell to our school days and move on Into the world, eager to do our part In the betterment of it. Page Twenty-two
