fe - -1-i'lNESAK Ilene. Fournier officers and they are as follows: Lawrence Laurion, President 3 William Chilson, Vice-President, Doris Noble, Treasurer, and Irene Fournier, Secretary. It was decided to have an executive committee to aid the class officers in settling matters that were too small for which to call a class meet- ing. William Heady, Howard Plumb, Clifford Barks, Frances Singleton, and Esther Rocheleau were chosen to act on the committee. Through the efforts of Clifford Barks, Donald Phillips, Jean Salomon, and Donna Davis the newcomers were initiated into the social life of the school. Early in the year, we elected our class book officers in order to secure for ourselves a Nesaki that we might well be proud of. With Raymond Casler as Editor-in-chief, and Donald Phillips business manager we are sure of having our hopes fulfilled. Ten men from '32 once more manifested their love for hard work by joining the football team. A determination to be different from any class that had previously graduated from the high school led the class to adopt caps and gowns with which to array ourselves on class day and graduation night. Another success was added to our dramatic fame. Dulcy was pre- sented under the direction of Mr. Aitchison and proved to be an over- whelming success. Irene Fournier, Mary Clifford, William Chilson, Joseph Kempton, Donald Phillips, and Frederick Bacher played their parts in professional style. Shortly after, Ernestine Reynolds displayed great talent in the Will 'O the Wisp, a one-act play presented in the Interschol- astic Play tournament. This is the last play that the Dramatic Society will present at Students' Building, for, later in the year, members of our class helped to convert the platform in the Auditorium into a modernistic stage on which the plays will be given. During March great excitement crept into the student body. Basket- ball fans were clamoring for our team to accept the invitation to enter the New England States Championship tournament at Newport. Fans may have cheered in Newport but no returning team has ever received the ova- tion that Mew, Kopp, Allen, Pollard, Kelsey, and Mozuck received upon their victorious return. As a result Mew was chosen Captain of all New England first team and outstanding schoolboy player in New England. Allen was chosen guard on all New England second team. During the spring vacation, twenty-nine seniors chaperoned by Miss Anna McDonnell and Col. William J. Collins had a most enjoyable trip to Washington. Our -school concert, consisting of selections we sang in chorus, was given, as usual, in John M. Greene Hall, June 22nd. This year Duplisses, Allen, Kopp, Mew and Frost displayed their ver- satility once more as athletes on the baseball team. On top of all the achievements that We have experienced and all the glories bestowed upon us, we are honored by having our president, Law- rence Laurion, appointed to West Point. We know that he will make the most of his great opportunity and the class wishes him success. After what seems much too short a time we must join the world of the alumni. We venture forth with deep regrets and unfulfilled ambitions leaving behind us some of the happiest days of our lives. We now take the opportunity to thank Dr. Plummer, Miss Brewster, and our teachers for the foundations they have helped us build. We know that life is made up of separate days, and we cannot live all the days at once. Yesterday is past g tomorrow is ahead, but come what may, there will ever be a place in our hearts that is Northampton High School.

fs: Q 1' rl'- X -?.'lNESAK Irene Fournier 'Q HOWARD A. BANCROFT Bay Path Howard is a modest chap, who is so quiet that we often wonder if he may be in love. He was never known to have an unprepared lesson. We wish you the best of luck in your future life, Howard. CLIFFORD ROBERT BARKS Cliff , Red Worcester Tech Editor-in-Chief Review, Hi-Y, Senior Cabinet Cliff , good-natured Red , or whatnot, was usually seen jerking sodas at Backmann's or repairing his Ford. In his Senior year he drove this venerable, or vulner- able, car even to Washington. LOIS B. BARNES M. S. C. Lois is a very quiet, studious young lady who appears to have a very definite purpose in mind. She has demonstrated that a Ford can be driven so that it isn't in a garage all the time. VIVIAN ARLENE BARNETT Gym 2. Vivian is another of that type of student who keeps the name of Northampton High School among the higher rated schools. We do not know what you intend doing, but we wish you well, Vivian. ELEANOR LOUISE BARRETT Gym 2, Harmony 2, 3. This unassuming Miss from Florence takes the Com- mercial Course. We are sure she never gave her teach- ers any trouble, either in studies or in behaviorg so we expect her to do big things in business. DORIS E. BARTLETT Dot Gym 2, Glee Club 2. Dot , as we all know, is a famous essay writer, a talent which many of us envy. She is an ardent basket- ball fan, seldom missing a game. Her cheerful disposi- tion has made her a great favorite. EDWARD L. BARTON Ed Besides being ambitious, working after school and Saturdays, Ed is one of Hamp's loyal rooters. By the way, if you ever happen to get around to it, ask Ed how far it is to Florence on foot. ALICE GENEVA BEGIN Al Here is somebody's future stenog . Don't you think Alice would brighten any office with her beaming smile? We think her inspiration was the Leeds car which al- ways brought her to school late.
