EDWARD PARKER SEVERANCE The sting of a reproach is the truth of it We're certainly always going to remember how Scratch came forth in our Senior assembly with a tremendous rendition of The Sewer Song with knee boots and a shovel. Another memory of him we'll always have is as the accused during our P.O.D. trial. While he was on the witness stand he never once cracked 3 his reward for all this was a verdict of not guilty. He might be small, but he's all there! Scratch with his zany hu- mor and clever antics is a sheer delight to have around. There 's never a dull moment when he 's in the vicinity for we 've never seen him at a loss for words-any words! Good luck to you, Scratch! Assembly 43 prom 3,4. CAROLE ANN SMITH Until Itrul loved I was alone Y Meet our gal Friday! Carole 's the girl to whom we all turn for help. Without her able assistance, many of us would never have found the solution to many a punling problem. Carole possesses a clear mind and a keen insight into situations-- that is, if Jack, her fiance, isn't involved in any of them! The min- ute he's mentioned, her clear perception disappears with the snap of a finger--oh, well, that 's love! We could go on and on about this cute gal, but why not make things brief and just say we 've appreciated all she's done and we just know she's headed for success as the future wife of a-Marine.

SYLVIA ANNE RICHARDSON To be born with the gift of laughter, and a sense that the world is mad. Drive much, Sylvia? Sure you do, and that is why we'll be constantly reminded of the time you made gravel out of P.A.'s cement incine- rator! Oh well, it was about time we had a new one built! No one was really angry about the whole affair, but it was so dam funny we 're not going to let you forget it either! Perpetually jaunty, Sly-via, as she is affectionately termed, is con- stantly in motion. It's an exception to see her sit still for more than fifteen seconds, and whatever she does is done in a big way. May the future bring many good things to you, Sylvia, and don't ever lose that sparkle in your eyes!

DEBORAH ROBINSON l worry a mountain, but always climb it Our Miss Deb is as cute as a button, which goes with her pleasant disposition. It's only on very rare occasions that we ever see a frown on this attractive face, for Debbie has a smile and a good word for all her classmates and friends. She's always willing to take big responsibilities. For the Senior Prom, this little doll was in charge of the whole decoration committee, and did an outstanding job, as is typical of all her efforts. We're sorry that we can't claim you for our own any longer, Debbie, but it's Lady Luck's turn now, and she'd just better give you the best of everything or we'll know the reason why.

There will always be a demand for people like Barbara--people who have the knack for making something out of nothing. Her talent for creation has gotten us out of many embarrassing situations--for in- stance when we were breaking our piggy banks for money to spend on decorations, Barb came up with some heavenly and very inexpensive ideas. Perfect complexion and many different hair-dos distinguish Barb from other girls. Her various facial expressions suggest her broad- minded views on the issues at hand. With a sparkle on your finger as well as in your smile we can see the happiness in store for you. Your future is all mapped out!

BRUCE HENRY CURRIER A moment's thinking is an hour in words. An excellent student, Bruce has also played on every varsity sport P.A. has sponsored. Being President of our Athletic Association and Captain of our soccer team are good examples of his capacity for leadership. We 've all wondered how, despite the most frustrating circumstances, he never loses his temper or becomes the least bit disturbed. Patience and understanding, added to a willingness to help everyone, will make this classmate of ours successful and pros- perous. We're sure that being the headmaster's son has created problems for Bruce, but he certainly overcame them-one of the many reasons why we're for him to have the best of everything in the years to come.

CLASS HISTORY On September 9, l954, the Class of 1958 set sail on their long journey with S2 members. Without a doubt, most of these Little Freshmen were a bit nervous about this new adventure. After getting to know our way around our new ship, we had our first official meeting, at which officers were elected. Harvey Colby was elected president with Bruce Currier, vice president, Luella Blakeslee, secretary, and Nancy Leclair, treasurer, Our first representatives to the Student Council were Sandra Peabody and David Dandurand. Like all other classes, we were very active in athletics, Russell Bishop, Norman Chaput, Robert Hunt, and Robert Vezina were members of a strong cross-country team while Ernest Littlefield served as man- ager. When winter came, Brenda McDonnell, Janis Kittredge, and Sandra Peabody joined the girls' bas- ketball team. Harvey Colby supported the varsity basketball team while Russell Bishop, Richard Chat- tick, Dean Edmonds, Robert Halen, and Bruce Currier gained valuable experience on the junior varsity squad. Ernest Littlefield assisted the regular manager. Valuable members of the baseball team were Russell Bishop, Neil Bryant, and Bruce Currier. Robert Hunt and Ernest Littlefield were co-managers. The whole class was greatly pleased with this showing, as this was the first undertaking of our long voy- age. At the Winter Carnival, Carole Hamel and Homer Rodgers won honors as attendants to the Queen. Ed- ward Severence was the crown bearer. Our big social event of the year was the Saint Valentine's Day Dance. The committees worked hard preparing the gym for the big day. Everyone had fun and the whole class benefited greatly from this experience. As June came, we pulled into our first port and left the ship, laughing at the mistakes we had made, and started preparing ourselves for the next portion of our journey. In September we reembarked feeling somewhat more at ease. Fifteen members of our crew had aban- doned ship by now, but the remaining passengers had their sea-legs under them and were not too much bothered by the rough seas ahead. For class officers our Sophomore year, Bruce Currier was elected president, Neil Bryant, vice president, Luella Blakeslee, secretary: and Nancy Leclair, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Sandra Peabody, Brenda McDonnell, and Richard Chattick. Richard filled the position of treasurer of the Council. This year our athletes took a more prominent part in sports. Those who were on the cross -country team were Russell Bishop, Richard Mozier, and Robert Vezina. Ernest Littlefield once again served as man- ager. Representing our class on the basketball floor for the girls were Janis Kittredge, Brenda McDonnell, Sandra Peabody, and Luella Blakeslee. Supporting the boys team were Richard Chattick, Neil Bryant, Robert Halen, Harvey Colby, and Bruce Currier. We had almost enough players for our own baseball team as Richard Chattick, Neil Bryant, David Dandurand, Peter Juranty, Charles Bourbeau, Russell Bishop Robert Halen, and Bruce Currier all roamed over the baseball diamond. Cheering the basketball teams on to victory was Jean Racine. Representing our class as attendants to the King and Queen at the Winter Carnival were Luella Blakeslee. Charles Bourbeau, and Victor Girard. The months of April and May were spent in preparation for our big dance, The May Ball. The gymnas- ium was decorated to fit the title, Mexican Fiesta, and the affair was a huge success. Taking part in the annual Memory Prize Speaking contest were Luella Blakeslee, Nancy Brown, Janis Kittredge, and Brenda McDonnell. We were all very pleased when Lou walked off with third place. With these events still fresh in our minds, we once more left the ship to tour another port. Our crew was gradually becoming smaller and as September once more came we happily embarked with 57 members. We now realized that we were heading for the home stretch. play 35 senior play 4, Operetta 33 assembly 4, prom 3,4, l-li-Y 2, ath-
