Special work for the play was done by Mrs. Crowson. On November 21, the seniors held their annual Harvest Dance in the school gymnasium. Music was furnished by Mal Hall's orchestra, from Orange. In order to earn additional money for the Washington trip the seniors put on a supper on February 9, in the Unitarian Church. We were assisted by our parents, who proved to be a great help. we would like to thank them for all their hard work. Also we would like to thank all the students who sold tickets for the supper. Special thanks go to Raymond Hall, who sold sixty tickets. All our activities this year contributed greatly to our earning money for the senior trip to Washington in April. Selling popcorn and soda at the home basketball games and numerous food sales were a big help also. The work on the yearbook not only helped the seniors earn money for their trip but also helped with some of the expenses of graduation. The seniors this year had a different arrangement for their washington trip. Chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Hellen, they traveled by train with the seniors from Hardwick High School. In the past years the seniors have gone by bus with the seniors from New Salem Academy. Graduation this year will be held on Monday, June 175 Class Friday, June lhg and Baccalaureate, Sunday, June 16. Because of of the Town Hall, Graduation and Class Night will be held in the gymnasium and Baccalaureate will be held in Memorial Hall at the Night, the burning school library. The seniors have really enjoyed their high school days and regret that they will be unable to attend the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School next September. Gail Peaslee Senior Glass 2 L.,--x E' 15 .- ,W Q
