9 SENIOR CLASS Joan KetU ' U, ' 50 We. the fortv-six graduatinji meml)ers of the Senior Class of Scituate High Sehool. have, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred fifty, come to the turning point of our lives. We are now about to leave dear Scituate High to take our places in society, as do thousands of others each June. We eagerly await what lies ahead of us. But before we begin our long journe over Life ' s hard road, we pause for a moment to recall our past school days here at S.H.S. Our first three years sped lightning-like b . Before we realized what was happening, we had become wise old Seniors. Losing this wisdom to advantage, we elected Duke Duval to be our president. George Mitchell was chosen for the vice president ' s seat: while Betty Murrill con- tinued her now four-year position as class sec- retary. We also again gave Malba Chase the job of handling the class bankroll. Our faithful class advisers were Miss Kingsbury and now. Mr. Wilcox, who through the departure of var- ious teachers, became our final adviser for the Senior year. Sports anticipation was the high light of this year ' s Senior Class. Remember the wonderful football team Scituate had this past year which won the South Shore championship? Duke Duval. Ned Hennigan. Bruce Donlan, Dale Hen- drickson. Cliff Tyler. Forrest King. Sonnie Parker. John Smith, and Charles Mahon, acting as manager, were all in there fighting for every game. Mo Mahon ' s green-feathered, good luck cap will long be remembered. When Scituate football is mentioned, don ' t forget how certain Senior athletes risked life and limb at the hands of Nantucket and other rough and ready teams, for the honor and glory of S.H.S. A fitting climax to our last football game was the spectacu- lar win over Cohasset, Thanksgiving morning. Girls ' field hockey gave about seven of our Senior girls an opportunity to show ' their skill, namely. Nancy Breen, Malba Chase, Joan D wight, Joan Castles, Donna Vickery, Kathleen Manning, and Ann Brow, manager. This year, the cheerleaders were especially good. Maybe it was because of the pep of the four Senior cheerleaders. Charmaine Witt, head cheerleader. Penny Rich. Donna Vickery, and Joan Castles. Basketball this past winter saw Bob Fernandez. Bruce Donlan, Frank Duval, Ned Hennigan. and Gale Lemoine. manager, all in the fight: while Kalhy Maiming. Malba Chase, Nancy Breen, Margaret Noble. Velma Ahola, Barbara Cole, and Betty Murrill. manager, made Miss Riggs proud of her girls ' basketball squad. Other sports, including baseball. Softball, temiis. and track, gave many Seniors a chance to show their talents. This year, Jane Nord was chosen to receive the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Award. In March, Jane was honored at a banquet in Boston along with other Good Citizenship winners from Mass- achusetts. Frank Duval was elected by the South Shore Schools on Student Government Day to attend the conference at the State House in Boston as South Shore Representative. Maybe )ou remember the excellent speech, The Privileges and Responsibilities of an Amer- ican Citizen delivered by Charmaine Witt, winner of the oratorical contest at S.H.S. We were very proud of Charmaine when she de- livered this speech at Hyannis. Among the various organizations such as Pro Merito. Student Council, Key Club, and band, orchestra, and glee club, the Senior class was well represented. Bobby Lee became president of the two-year-old honor society. Pro Merito, and George Mitchell was president of Key Club and Student Council. In the All-School play, Gay Nineties Revue, many Seniors took part. The Senior play, There She Goes, proved to be one of the best shows at S. H. S. for several years. Our history has been like that of any other graduating class. We ' ve gone through the best years of our lives, experiencing thrills when we attended our first formal prom, anxiety over possibilities of flunking tests or homework, and heartaches when we realized our school days were almost over. But the happiness we enjoyed when we were part of S.H.S. ' s program was worth all our efforts. Now. we are looking ahead to the future, some to take up housekeeping, some to go to work, still others to go on to colleges or careers. And al- though we. as the class of the half-century, mav never be together again, our memories will for- ever be with our Alma Mater, dear old Scituate High School.
