Class Histor . We, the class of '56, are gathered here tonight to take our last opportunity to tell you of the wonderful times we have had in our four years of high school. Starting our freshman year in the fall of 1952, nineteen freshmen entered the doors of N.T.H.S. I was anxious to see how many of our eighth grade class had returned and if there were any new faces. Looking into our home room I saw the following: Theresa Santaw, Melvin Flood, Lucille Gendron, Marie Lepage, Hazelton Sargent, Rich- ard Morse, Sue Fidler, Gilbert Mason, Gabrielle Gagne, Ronald Page, Mark Delisle, Everett His- man, Richard Carlieux, Shirley Smith, Joseph Monteith, Marilyn Leavitt, Roger Powers, and Philip Manley. At our first class meeting we elected our class officers as follows: President, Marilyn Leavitt: Vice President, Gabrielle Gagne: Secretary, Janice Denton: Treasurer, Sue Fidlerg and Mr. Brennan acted as our class advisor. October 3rd rolled around and this meant time for freshman initiation. The upper classmen didn't take any pity on us. But realizing the im- portance of good sportsmanship we entered into the fun. After initiation, we lost Shirley Smith and Richard Morse, but later gained Shirley Cota. During the year, we sponsored a dance and also participated in the Student Council Carnival with two booths. We observed the close of our fresh- man year by having a class picnic at The Big Falls. We started our sophomore year with only sev- enteen members: Everett Hisman had not re- turned. Shortly after school started we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers: President, Ronald Page: Vice President, Sue Fid- ler: Secretary, Gabrielle Gagne: Treasurer, Philip Manley. Marilyn Leavitt was chosen representa- tive to the Student Council. Mrs. Keller was our class advisor. On October 7, came our opportunity to show the freshmen what it meant to be initiated. They were good sports and I think they had more fun than we did. After the freshmen reception we held a dance with the Melody Men furnishing the music. During the year our class took part in basketball, baseball, band, glee club, and Theresa Santaw was a majorette. It was not long before we again were enter- ing school, but this time as juniors. As I looked around to see if all my classmates were there, I found that Roger Powers and Marie Lapage had not returned, but we were all happy to have Earle Hulburd as a new member. The class oilicers for Gabrielle Gagne, 9 Shirley Cota our junior year were: President, Hazelton Sargent: Vice President, Earle Hurburd: Secretary, Marilyn Leavitt: Treasurer, Joseph Monteith. Ronald Page was Student Council representative, and Mr. Haynes was our class advisor. Our first project was entering a Hoat representing The United Nations in the F.F.A.-Kiwanis Fair for which we won third prize. Joseph and Janice were candi- dates from our class for king and queen for the Student Council Harvest Dance. Joseph Monteith had the honor of being chosen class marshal for the senior class. Senior Week was our last big undertaking, and we were kept busy most of the week decorat- ing the hall for Class Night, and the Senior Ball. Opening day of school in the fall of that year was a great day for all of us-we were entering school as seniors. Without a doubt, our last year was to be one of the happiest. This was our last year of achievement at North Troy high school, and we decided to make the most of it. At our nrst class meeting we elected Philip Manley, president: Ronald Page, vice president: Mark Delisle, secretary: Joseph Monteith, treasurer. Sue Fidler was elected representative to the Student Council, and she had the honor to become president of the Student Council. Later Philip left us to join the service, and Mark resigned as secre- tary. This made a change of class officers neces- sary. To remedy this situation, Ronald was elected president, Marilyn was our new vice presi- dent, and Theresa replaced Mark as secretary. On January 17 and 18 we had our first activity, the senior play. The play was titled Have A Date, and we had a great deal of fun in rehearsing and presenting it. Candidates from our class for the king and queen for the Student Council Harvest Dance were Joseph and Lucille. Other activities we partici- pated in were: F.F.A.-Kiwanis Fair. at which we had two booths, several projects for raising money, a food sale, and a May Day supper. ' During these past four years we participated in sports, dramatics, glee club, band, and helped to publish the school paper. We the class of '56, must confess that we have had some wonderful times in our past four years. I don't think any of us will ever forget the guid- ance, the patience, and the understanding of all of our past and present teachers, and the com- panionhip and friendship of all our fellow school- mates. Yes, these are a few of the major things: but the little things that we never mention are the ones we shall really miss. Baccalaureate, Class Night, Graduation and the Senior Ball bring the curtain down on our happy and successful high school days. Page Sixteen
