SENIOR CLASS Aim McAiiliffe. ' 53 Graduation — the big moment, the most anti- cipated moment in the lives of the fifty-two Seniors of Scituate High School, has finally come. We are all eagerly looking forward to taking our places in the world to pursue our life ' s ambitions and to do our best to be worthy citizens. A whole new life awaits us upon our graduation. Now that the time has come to leave dear old Scituate High, we look back on the fun, the work, and the experiences which we have shared to- gether and which we will long remember. We began our illustrious senior year by elect- ing Bill Vines as president. Judy Lawson as vice- president, Lois Newcomb as secretary for her third terin, and Michael Veiga, as treasurer. Miss Vinal and Mr. Wilcox were chosen as class advisers. We were sorry to lose two members of our class this year, Frances Sweeney and Ronald Plescia. Because of a serious illness, Stephen Chadbourne was unable to return to school last fall, but we are all happy to hear that he is much improved in health. We welcomed two new members, Delores Costa from Clinton High School and Hugh MacArthur from Waltham High School. A large number of our boys helped to make up the rugged football team which gave us so many exciting games this year. They were Walter Stewart, Bob Harris, Dick Loughman, Dick Ford, Neil Towle, Aram Brazilian, Neil Murphy, Bob O ' Hern, Mat Brown, Kenneth Brebner, Dick Mendell, Doug Mendell. and Johnny Nitzsche. We were all proud of Dick Loughman. Walter Stewart. Bob Harris, Arain Brazilian, and John Nitzsche, who made the South Shore All-Star Team. The girls ' hockey team also had a good season with the help of nn Breen, Barbara D ' Amelio, Joan McEleney, and Judy Lawson as manager. The girls ' basketball season this winter provided many close and thrilling games. The Senior girls on the team who helped bring the team to many victories were Ann Breen and Carolyn Macy. The 1953 boys ' basketball season provided many thrills with an excellent team made up of six senior boys. Walter Stewart, Mike Veiga, Dick Loughman, Bob Dwyer, Doug Mendell, and Bill Vines. Many of the Seniors also dis- played their varied skills in baseball, softball, and tennis. The cheerleaders were wonderful this year. Headed by Izzie Gleason, — Sue Taggart, Eliza-

What will future athletic games be like without them! Many Seniors also took an active part in the band and orchestra: and Judy Taylor of our class and the other pert-looking drum majorettes headed by Carolyn Macy added color and gayity to the football games. We were all proud of the members of our class who have received individual awards through our school years. Last year Robert Dwyer won one of the Good Sports Awards given by the Key Club. Judy Lawson and Mat- thew Brown won the Good Sports Awards this year. Judy Lawson. who was voted the D. A. R. Good Citizen, was honored at a banquet in Bos- ton with other winners from Massachusetts.

Neil Towle was awarded the Bausch-Lomb Award for outstanding work in science. Richard Wiley was elected to represent our school on Good Govern- ment Day at the State House in Boston. Beth Bigelow has served as school reporter during the year. Fourteen members of our class qualified as members of the Pro Merito Society. Many of our Senior boys were members of the Key Club this year. The principal social event sponsored by the Seniors was their annual Christmas Ball, which was a gay and colorful event and fun for every- one attending. Many of the talented Seniors took part in the All-School Play Waltz Time to make it a suc- cess. Those who participated were Donald Jenney, Carolyn Macy, Judy Taylor, Ronnie Howard, Donald Hollis, and David Staffeld. One of the most outstanding successes of our Senior year was the Senior Class Play, Mother Is a Freshman. The leads were expertly played by Sue Taggart and Donald Jenney. ably assisted by Judy Taylor. Donald Hollis. Robert O ' Hern. Bill Vines. David Staffeld, Carolyn Macy, Lois Newcomb. Evelyn Hatch.

The past four years have flown by quickly, and we shall soon be leaving Scituate High to embark on the individual careers which the future has in store for us. Whatever we may do the fun, friendships, and knowledge gained dur ing our school years will long be remembered Classes, the locker room, the crowd in the cafe teria, the dances, our teachers, parties, gradu ation and all the wonderful activities which have filled our school years will provide pleasant memories long to be remembered in the years to come.
