Student Council Representative: Patricia Crombie The Class of 1955 welcomed Mrs. Vose as homeroom teacher. She is also the new com- mercial arts teacher and girls' basketball chaperone. We greeted three new students in our class: Nancy Taylor from Marshfield High, Kathleen Day from Notre Dame, and James Lockhart from the School of the Immaculate Conception. We are enjoying many good times with the new students, for they have brought with them talent and charm. When school assembled in September, we noticed the absence of two familiar faces--those of Arthur Joseph and Kenneth Ekstrom. Both are attending Weymouth Trade School. During the year Richard Wiley and Duncan Grey moved from town. we wish to be remembered and extend our kindest thoughts to our old school pal, Rose Molla, who was forced to leave because of illness. We feel proud of our representation on the varsity basketball squads. Members are Preston Ripley, David Merritt, Donald Kelly, Walter Hall, Eileen Schindler, Carol McCarthy, and Dianne Hall. Freshmen members of the band are Dorothy Howes, clanging the cymbals, Patricia Crombie, beating the drum, and John Cashman, squeaking the trumpet. Our Freshmen girls started the ball rolling for a field hockey team under the leadership of Mrs. MacDonald. The ball didn't roll very far last SSDCSMDSP, but we hope upperclassmen will roll it along to goals next September. 13

We felt the loss of Peter keen- ly, for he had been chosen President of the Sophomore class and was our representative to the Student Council. Jean Shepherd transferred from Norwell High to Thayer Academy early in the fall. In Guidance II, we have been making a survey of requirements and expenses of various schools and colleges. During Guidanoe,we have investigated available information about Tufts College, University of Chicago, Katherine Gibbs, and University of Massachusetts. Our class has greatly enjoyed being Sophomores. Our attitude has changed since last year and we feel we are a little further along on the road to better understanding. With the able assistance of Mrs. Joyce, our class play,'Elizabeth's Young Mann, was presented. The cast consisted of Judith Hall, Marya Cellini, Patricia Terry, and Donald Merritt. 12

Before me an endless silver sheen spread like a frosted mirror. The black shapes of ships silhouetted on the crest of the sheet looked like black paper cut-outs pasted into place. Their rigging cast on the water intricate Spanish lace shadows. On the horizon was the dark figure of a lighthouse which had been de- serted for many years. Here and there the full moon cast weird shadows. Slightly detracting from the beauty of the scene was the usual fishy smell. Soft lapping of the waves almost lulled me to sleep, but somehow I cou1dn't close my eyes to the loveliness of the scene. Anne Wilson 8 ACCORD POND Accord Pond is a lovely place surrounded by towering pines. Now and then a fish breaks its calm surface. If you look hard enough you can see them swimming in the cool, clear water. From the east shore floats the fragrance of wild roses. Quite often can be heard the clamor of wild geese as they settle down on the silver water. Paul Robinson 8 14
