FRESHMAN CLASS Peter Palmer, ' 53 The Freshmen entered school last September ready to overcome all obstacles and make a great success of our first year of high school. We wel- comed as new members to our class John Nitzsche from Newton; Frances Sweeney from West Roxbury; Robert Wiley from Norwell: Karl Virtue back from Vermont: Barbara Kerans. whom we soon lost: and Malcolm McDonald and Robert O ' Hern who attended school at Wey- mouth last year. We were sorry to lose Peter Curley, Paul Parker, and Raymond Dwyer, who now attend school at Braintree; and Dooley Sciple who has moved to New York. At our first class meeting class officers and advisers were elected. Michael Veiga was elected president: Kenneth Brebner. vice president; Mar) Goodnow. secretary: and Karl Virtue, treasurer. Miss Vinal and Mr. Kreimer were elected class advisers. Members of our class have participated in nearly all extra-curricular activities. Many freshmen have taken part in athletics, and our class has been well represented in the school band and orchestra. Neil Murphy, Kenneth Roberts. Donald Jenney. and Judy Taylor took important parts in the all-school production. In our coming years at S. H. S. the class of 53 looks forward to becoming a great success. Just watch us!

Hank Cusick and Jack Breen were re-elected president and vice-president respectively: Bar- bara Prouty was chosen secretary: and Ann Dacey. treasurer. Our advisers are Miss Riggs and Mr. Stewart. Activities of the year have been many and var- ied. Seventeen sophomore boys were on the championship football team with four of these on varsity. Tommy Snow and Johnnys Jacobucci were chosen by the Quincy Ledger to be among Scituate ' s representatives on the South Shore AU-Star Team. Other sports throughout the year had a large representation of the Sophoinore Class. Many girls were on the hockey teairi which won the South Shore Championship. Basketball, softball. tennis and baseball also had a goodly number of Sophs on the teams. Some of the sophomore boys are enjoying their first experience in Key Club. Nine boys RE NEWS Barbara Prouty, ' 52 were admitted into this organization at the be- ginning of the year. Our Student Council rep- resentatives are Barbara Prouty, Richard Clapp and Eddie Stewart, who is also treasurer of this group. A large number of the Class of 1952 were in the All-School Play and the spring concert, either dancing, singing, acting or playing in the band. And what would the school orchestra be like without the clarinets and the saxophone which are played by sophoiriores. Those friendly librarians at the desk in Study Hall, ready to help you. are often sophomores. An increased volume of sound from typing room is due to the fact that a lot of Sophs are taking typing this year for the first time. You can also hear strange sounds coming from Room 209 as about three-fourths of the Sophoinore Class struggle to learn Frangais I. We are looking forward to taking our place as upper classmen and future leaders of Scituate High School.

15 Eighth (j ra le Notes Thomas Whittakcr, ' 54 Oil September 5. 1949. a group of vory en- thusiastic students, veterans of one year in the Junior High, appeared in the eighth grade. The eighth grade history class put on a very interesting exhibit on the history of transporta- tion. The pupils made scale models of ships, trains, and airplanes. Each pupil also made a booklet on transportation. A display of the mod- els was then set up. Some of the best booklets were also used. When it was complete, pictures were taken. On March 11. the school broadcast was put on over WBET. Brockton. Several eighth grade students took part in a skit based on the life of Nathan Hale. Those who took part were Priscilla Rand. Russell Prouty. Thomas Whittaker, Charles Goddard. Jay Locke, and Richard Prouty. In October the 8B class presented an assembly consisting mainly of talks on students ' hobbies. Stafford Short gave an interesting talk about fishing. Patricia McAulifife gave a talk on her collection of dolls. The Junior High had a boys ' basketball team on which several eighth grade boys played. Two games were played. Duxbury was beaten 28-22. Cohasset won the other 12-10. The girls also had a team. They played one game against Cohasset and lost. Several members of the eighth grade are in the band. They are Donald Bongarzone, Lee Carpenter. Fred Gleason. Elliott Haartz. Thad Litchfield, Richard Prouty, Russell Prouty, David Roberts. Thomas Smith, and Thomas Whittaker. Several girls also played on the junior varsity field hockey, and basketball team. Diane Prouty, Yvonne Mongeau, and Nancy Taggart were on the hockey team. Diane Prouty, Yvonne Mon- geau, Nancy Taggart. and Alice Mitchell played on the basketball team. There were several girls in the chorus in the All-School Play. Also a quartet made up of Arnold Bowker, Lee Carpenter, Fred Timpany, and Thomas Smith sang 1 Love Geography. In our two years in the Junior High we hope we have made a favorable impression. And we shall continue to do our best for the school. Seventh Grade INoles Marilyn Sweiisoii, 7B When the new members of the seventh grade first came to Junior High, most of us liked the changes. A few of us got mixed up at first going from room to room. In October we made some booklets about Rip Van Winkle under the direction of Miss Cunneen, the Junior High English teacher. They contained a picture or two. an autumn poem, and the sum- marized story. Many of them were very well done. In November, on a Saturday, Mrs. Williams, the Junior High history teacher, took us on a guided tour to Plymouth. Our guide was dressed as a Pilgrim. We saw the first house, which had been built by the Plimoth Plantation, Inc., to look like the original houses built by the Pil- grims. The Plimoth Plantation is going to re- construct the Pilgrim village. Some of us took pictures of the places where we stopped. On the way back to Scituate we stopped at the John Alden House. It was a very interesting trip. In January 7A put on an assembly. It was conducted as a talent show. It was directed by Miss Giles, the Junior High math teacher. It showed that there is a great deal of talent in 7A. At another assembly 7B acted out a play called The Old Sleuth directed by Miss Vollnier, the Junior High geography and hygiene teacher. It was fun both to see and do.
