6 CLASS OF 1944 Merilyn Damon, ' 44 OENIORS! At last we have reached that Mecca — that goal of all high school stu- dents — the honor and privilege of being seniors. We have taken the preceding years in our stride. We have played Macbeth. fought and refought the Revolutionary and Ci il W ars, studied logs and economics, along with chemistry, until some- times we thought our brains would burst with knowledge. Yes. our trials have been many, and we are proud to acknowledge our success. Without the help of Mr. Wilcox, our class adviser, our path would not have been so easy. Skip Fuller at our head and Dick Bresnahan as his lieutenant, along with Kay Peirce. secre- tary, and Lyman Preston, treasurer, have directed our activities this year and planned for gradu- ation. Graduation — to all of us that means the beginning of a new life. Most of the boys will be called into the armed forces and many of the girls are going into nursing. WTiatever our fu- ture may be, we hope and believe our schooling has prepared us for the tasks ahead. We are entering a world of chaos and disruption, but we face the future with courage. e wish to pay tribute to a group of former members of our class who are already in the service. Richard Turner, Kevin Dwyer. Frank WesterhofI, and Robert Gannett represent us in the Navv, while Ra mond Brown is in another seafaring branch, the Maritime Service. William Bates is in the arm) . Richard Bresnahan, Robert Finnic, and Frank Hall, who will remain in school to graduate with us in June. ha e already been inducted in the Army Air Corps, and many more of the bovs are intending to join one branch of service or another. During our high school years, manv of our boys have become stars in athletics. Our foot- ball heroes, Louis Bournazos, Skip Fuller, Frank Hall, Theodore Holland, Lyman Preston, Robert Withem, and Roger Zollin. have made a great showing on the gridiron. On the basket- ball court repeats were seen when Bournazos, Cogswell, Fuller, Hall, Holland, and Preston did their utmost to put on a good show. As for the girls, they deserve the bouquets. On our cham- pionship field hockey and basketball teams, the turnout was magnificent from this class. Field hockey saw Merial Bonney, Laura Brown. Jean Cole. Katherine Wliittaker and Fay Joseph, man- ager, sweeping up and down the field to victory. The basketball team consisted of the following stars: Laura Brown, manager; Margaret Devine, Mar) Devine, Nancy Davis, Marilyn Fisher, Katherine Whittaker, and Merilyn Damon. Of all senior class pla)s, one of the best in the high school records was presented in April. The play, Girl Shy, starred such actors and actres- ses as M. Bonney, J. Cole, J. Condit, N. Davis, M. Devine, and J. Evans along with L. Bourna- zos, R. Cogswell, R. Finney, A. Fuller, L. Preston, and R. Zollin, many of whom had alreadx ap- peared in the All-School Play. So far this year our only social event has been the senior dance. The committee in charge did a grand job. realizing a complete success. Thus, when the last pages are added to our annals in June, we can say with confidence, Veni, vidi, vici.
