Class Histor Finding ourselves alone and unprotected in the Freshman Class, we were taken under the wing of Mrs. Turner who guided us safely through the first perilous months. During those early months, Dave Bailey joined the elite at Thayer and Teddy Baldwin started to work that fall. Lovely Verna Hahner transferred from Whitman High, and lanky Don Phillips arrived from Scituate. Our English class was interrupted by the resignation of Miss Alden and we found our match in Miss Whitehouse who took her place. Many of our sturdy crew joined the sport teams. In spite of seasickness we were thrilled by the trip to Nantucket. In our Sophomore year we really began to shine. Lofty, talkative Ann Scott brightened our days after the glamour of sunny California had called Dick White. Soon we found Joe Dean and Em ett Butler absent from our ranks. Our play, 'The Heritage of Wimpole Street', won the cup the night of the Inter-Class Plays. We presented the Christmas formal and the dance was a success. The decorations were enhanced by two huge Christmas trees taken from the Hansons' yard. We failed to win the prize for our Banquet table, a record never broken by our class. Big doin's our Junior year. After many squabbles we purchased our class rings. This year we failed to win the cup with our play, 'Air Tight Al1bi'. By March, we were deep in preparations for the Junior Prom. We had Old South decorations and the dance was a hit. During the year we lost Sheila Cunningham, 'Red' Haskell and Covert Bailey and welcomed Lena Johnson. Now after many tribulations, we have arrived at our goal. We are minus two members, Lena Johnson and George Jackman. Our mighty class numbers twenty-one,hale and hearty schol- ars. Instead of the usual dignified welcome for the Freshmen, we initiated the unlucky crew at a Hallowe'en dance. They came in costume and were put through their paces to the delight of the audience and to the victims' hearty disapproval. The play, This Daring Generation', was our choice this yeah and again we won the cup. Endless work began on the Shipbuilder be- fore Christmas and was finally completed in February. Graduation is upon us. We have enjoyed the many good times sprinkled among our study hours the past four years. We wish to thank our many friends, fellow students, and teachers who have made these years the happiest for us. 'TW s..x 'vu'-5' :Qs

Early in November we lost two classmates, Barbara Johnson and Bruce Brown. This left our Junior Class a total of seventeen pupils. On December 2, the Inter-Class plays were presented. The Juniors contributed 'Two Crooks and a Ladyn, with John McManus, Audrey Johnson, Bole Giorgetti, Betsey Carruthers, Peter Dick- man, and Eliot Robinson. In appreciation for her guidance and help in directing our play we presented Mrs. Taylor with an orchid. Although the Seniors were the prize-winners, we gained much knowledge and experience in the presentation of our play. On May 12, the class held the annual Junior Prom. This year the auditorium was decorated with rose trellises and a pale moon, suggesting the theme nMoonlight and Rosesu. I 11
