Zhe Chronicle of Our Class The class o f '53 started thei r hi gh school career September?, 1949, with Mrs. Faunce and Mrs. Craig as their advisers. The class was so large that they were split into three sections: one in Room 34 with Mrs. Craig, one in Room 39 with Miss Thomas, and the remaining girls in the Home Economics Room with Mrs. Faunce. Our class officers were: President, Jimmy Yakovakis; Vice President, George Cass; Secretary, Beverly Harvey; and Treasurer, Norma Clark. Joan Picard was Treasurer of Student Council with Diane Day and Buddy Charest as our representatives. Diane Day was the only cheerleader from our class this year. In June we looked back to “the little red motor” in science... the autobiographies Mr. Bertrand had us write...trips to the bank and the Telephone Office in Gen. Busi- ness...and the aching joints we got in Miss Bubriske’s Phys. Ed. classes. In September of 1950, we came back to P.H.S. as Sophomores with Mrs. Manning and Mr. Trufant, our advisers. Our home room was 38 with Mr. Trufant trying to keep order. We electedJimmy Y akovakis, President; George Cass, Vice President; Willie Taylor, Secretary; and Nancy Winton, Treasurer. Cynthia Cl ark was Secretary of Student Coun- cil; Joan Picard and George Cass were our representatives. Our first social event in high school was the April Fool’s Dance, March 30, with which the Juniors helped us. Many of us were in the old-fashioned Fashion Show... from Norma Clark in a 1917 bathing suit to Theresa LaFountaine in the i itterbugger’s outfit of 1940. This year two of our classmates were cheerleaders; Diane Cummings and Bob Durkee. Looking back on our Sophomore year we remember getting our class rings...the alarm clock that went off in History of Civ. class...the snake that scared manyofthe girls in Biology...the play “ Julius Caesar” we did for an assembly...and the globe that seemed to like rolling on the floor in French I. September 4, 1951, back to P.H.S. we came for our Junior year with Mr. Bertrand and Miss Thomas as our able advisers. Most of us had Room 29 for our home room, but a few were put in the Home Ec. Room (which turned out to be the ideal room, for they were always first in the lunch line). Class officers this year were: President, George Cass; Vice President, Jimmy Yakovakis; Secretary, Nancy Winton; Treasurer, Beverly Harvey. Jimmy Yakovakis was elected Vi ce President of the Student Council, and Nancy Winton, Jim Shea, and George Cass were our representatives. In November we were very sorry to hear of the death of one of our friends and former classmates, Charlie Blanchette, who was killed in Korea. Three of our classmates, Diane Cummings, Ann Shultz, and Dolly Waite were cheer- leaders this year. Our first social event of the year was the St. Pat's Dance held March 14. The gym was all decked out with hats, pipes, shamrocks, and Blarney Stone. At intermis- sion eight of us did a square dance to the ” Irish Washerwoman.” The biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom which was held on June 6. The hall was decorated with evergreen trees and flowers on the plan of a park. Our most vivid memories of our Junior Year were: the smells of chemistry...hear- ing about Morrie Pierce’s trip to Engl and...the times our bookkeeping didn’t balance... hearing t he Macbeth records in English...the Christmas decorating contest we won.. U. S. History classes. . .hearing of Everett Young's trip toPuerto Ri co. .. di ggin g ever- greens for the Junior Prom. . . u sh erin g at graduation and our picnic at Youngs’. September 1952 came and with it the beginning of our last year at P.H.S. with Mr. Faunce and Mrs. Kendall as our advisers. To lead us through this most important year, we elected GeorgeCass, President; Jimmy Yakovakis, Vi ce President; Nancy Winton, Secretary; and Dotty Chase as guardian of our funds. Jimmy Yakovakis was elected President of Student Council with George Cass, Joan Picard, and John Twomey as our delegates. On October 24th we staged the Freshmen Reception to welcome the class of ’ 56 to P.H.S. The entertainment was a mock Paris fashion show with males in female attire. Our Senior Ball was December 6, with Christmas as our theme. Cheerleaders from our class this year were: Ann Shultz (head cheerleader), Dolly Waite, Judy Johns, and Anna LaBier. The lasting memories of our Senior Year will be George Cass’s trip to Europe... the engagements of Theresa LaFountaine and Everett Young (July 3), and Elaine Pellerin and Bob Durkee (December 24)...Norma Clark being chosen “ Good Citizen” by the D.A.R. ...the many English teachers we had. . .writing out class pictures and name cards...our Washington trip...and GRADUATION.
