ZIL — NORTHERN LIGHT — 1949 CLASS HISTORY Janet Wey and William McNeil I N the year “1945” the Atomic Bomb was discovered, hut that was nothing com- pared to the Atomic Bomb Mr. Mott discovered when the class of “1949” entered the halls ofN. A. H. S. We, like our predecessors, entered into this great edifice and faced the same pro ' gram. We, however, did not act the same. It was evident to everyone that we had that certain something that is necessary for a great class ' a something called oomph. Beyond the shadow of doubt we were (THE) class. Due to circumstances known to all, we were unable to elect class officers our first year in high school, thus having a very quiet freshman year. There was one lone member of our class on the gridiron this year. That was our star quarterback Allan MacDonald, w ' ho, incidcntly, played on the baseball diamonH and basketball court too. We entered school the following September with much ridicule upon the mee Freshmen. As our leaders this year we chose, Charles Larsen, President; Janet Wey- gand. Vice President; Donald Poirier, Treasurer; and Elaine Corrigan, Secretary. On March 8th we held our first event in North Attleboro High School, and a very successful one, a dance, namely “The Spring Frolic”. Everyone who attended felt that we had tried very hard to make a complete success of our first activity in school. On the gridiron this year we were represented by Allan MacDonald, Gerard Achin, and Robert LaRoeque. On the baseball diamond we had Allan MacDonald. Fighting on the basketball court Rippy McCretton, John Coyle, and Allan MacDonald showed some excellent ball playing. Less we forget the weaker sex during our Sophomore year, we had on the basket- ball court Abbie Gibcault, Bca Paquin, Bertha Ash, Doris Boillard, and Janet Wey- gand as Manager of the team. It w ' as September 8, 1948 and 8:10, and we now as upperclassmen were ready to start our third year in our education. We named as our executive officers this year, Gerard “Frenchie” Achin as our President; for a second term as Vice President, Janet Weygand our Treasurer, Bernard Doyle, and for a second term also, Elaine Corrigan, Secretary. With such capable officers to guide us we were set for an exciting and prosperous year to come. 23
