SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the senior class of 1955, have had four enjoyable years in Orange 1-ligh School. We present the diary we have kept telling of the things we have done and the events in which we have participated. 1951 September --- We began our careers as high school students and were guests at the annual Freshman Welcome. We chose for our class officers: Iames Guetti, presidentg Anne Parmenter, vice-presidentg loanne Scott, secretary, Raymond Smith, treasurer. Fresh- man representatives in Student Council were loanne Housen, Deanna Ward, and Sally Wheeler. Miss Tubbs was appointed class adviser. October - We entered the one-act play contest, presenting Not Quite Such a Goose, directed by Mr. Leslie Anderson. We did not win, but we had fun. We attended football games - some of the boys as members of the squad, some of us as band members, and some as enthusiastic boosters of O. H. S. December - We presented a gift to our retiring adviser and English teacher, Miss Tubbs. Many of us took part in the Christmas Evening Assembly. 1952 March - We chose for our civics class project, the Town Hall Clean-Up.

IUNIOR CLASS HISTORY One of the biggest steps in our school years came in September of l952 when the class of i956 entered Orange High School. Ahead of us lay four years of many opportunities. A bit app. hensively our one-hundred and four students waited until we officially became mem- bers of the high school, discovering thankfully that the Freshman Welcome really was not as bad as the Seniors had threatened. Next came the choosing of class officers. We elected: President, Robert Edwards, vice-president, Barbara Day, treasurer, Richard Robbins, secretary, Ioyce Blackrner. As Student Council members we picked Kathleen Dowd, Candace Waite, and lune Woodrow. As one of the Good Government Day representatives, the school chose Robert Edwards as an exchange student to Worcester. At commencement exercises, Earl North became class marshal. ln i953 we returned to begin our sophomore year, this time more acquainted with our school. Our officers were Earl North, president, Arlene O'Lari, vice-president, Richard Gotautas, treasurer, and Duane Cutter, secretary. Our Student Council members were Kathleen Dowd, Barbara George, Marla Iohnson, and Carol Vorce. Good Government Day representatives from the sophomore class were Eleanor Atherton and Robert Edwards. We held our first prom on May 7. At Baccalaureate service Ronald Williams was chosen as our class marshal. Last fall, we became upper classmen. We elected class officers: President, Arlen O'Lari, vice-- president, Carol Vorce, treasurer, lames Stone, and secretary, Ann Braniff. Representatives in the Student Council were loyce Blackmer, Barbara Day, Barbara George, Candace Waite, and Carol Vorce. The big social event of this year was our lunior Prom, which was held on December lO. Our class rings arrived in February. Our junior year has drawn to a close, it is difficult to believe that we have just one more year in Orange High School, and that we will soon hold that long-awaited title of Seniors, Top row, left to right - J.

SOPHOMORE HISTORY In the fall of l953, the class of l957 entered Orange High School with an enrollment of eighty-one students. When the first day was over, we had only to worry about the Freshman Welcome, which' came soon enough. After we had performed our initiation stunts to the satisfaction of the Seniors, we enjoyed refreshments and dancing. Class officers elected at our first class meeting were president, Maurice Brown, vice-president, Suzanne Wood, treasurer, Alan Novackg and secretary, Sally Conners. To represent our class in the Student Council we chose Arlene Davis, Herman Chaplin, and Robert Willard. Members of our class took part in sports, assemblies, and musical activities. ln lune, we chose Austin Tacy to lead us in the Baccalaureate procession, ln l954, we returned to OHS as sophomores. For our class officers we elected Richard Taylor, president, Robert Willard, treasurer, Sally Conners, viceepresident, and Lottie Cloukey, secretary. Our Student Council members were Beverly Bergauist, Barbara Belcher, Arlene Davis, Herman Chaplin, and Maurice Brown. We were Well represented in all sports, musical activities, and committees. In lanuary we received our class pins. This year our class voted to have a spring hop instead of the usual sophomore prom. The dance, took place on May 5. At the conclusion of our sophomore year, we have reached the half way mark in our high school career. We can still look forward to a happy two years in Orange High School. Top row, left to right - D.

FRESHMAN HISTORY We started our first year in Orange l-ligh School when we entered as Freshmen in September, 1954. The Freshman Welcome and the first Week of classes gave us an uneasy feeling that we were in for a hard year. We soon held our first class meeting and elected our otticersi Gerald Murcliie, president, Helena Davis, vice-president, Donna Lyman, secretaryg Donald Duval, treasurer. Lauretta Loverro, William Harris and Donald Duval became Student Council members. ln football, Robert Kilian, Robert Parker, Rodney Bixby and Richard Lariviere received varsity letters. Basketball letters were awarded to Donald Duval, Richard Lariviere, laclqson Rall and Gerald Murchie. Many members of our class participated in school activities: Cabaret, Band, Assemblies and Minstrel. William Harris was an end man in the Minstrel. We enjoyed our first year in Orange High School. Our association with the other three classes in various activities has given us a feeling of loyalty and pride in our school.

THE BAND AT THE 1955 MUSIC FESTIVAL Here's the band stepping it out at the Western Massachusetts Music Fes- tival which was held in Chicopee this year. The OHS musicians and Director Mal Hall had reason to be elated over the fine reception the contingent re- ceived and the complimentary comments made by the adjudicator, Irvin Schainman ot the Williams College music department. One of the band's most intriguing marching presentations - which drew plenty of attention in the parade - Was the Mambo Marche, done with the use of castanets, claves, cow bells and other traditional South American percusion instruments by the drum section, and special rhythm steps by tho twirlers.
