As Seniors, we must now look back at our high school careers. What do we remember? When we entered Silver Lake as seventh graders in 1961, we assembled briefly in the Little Theatre be- fore we were transferred to the Kingston Annex, the last students at Old Kingston High, with its warped floors and condemned top story. We formed lasting friendships that year, and the next, when we were the first eighth grade in the new Junior High wing. When we entered Silver Lake in 1963 as Freshmen, we were greeted with the now familiar re- frain, The time is 7:52, will students please be seated. With those words ringing in our ears we knew that we were high school students. We had as officers, Carl Alfiere, President; Brian Stewart, Vice-President; Terrell Burke, Secretary; Gail Lonergan, Treasurer; and Sharon- Lee Con- way, Historian. Under the direction of our advisors, Mr. Markee and Mrs. Tulimieri, we nervously planned our Freshman dance which turned out to be a great success. What ever happened to all those paper plates that were left over? We weren ' t the babies of the school in 1964 when we became Sophomores. Our Class Officers were President, Brian Stewart; Vice-President, Jim Darsh; Secretary, Terrell Burke; Treasurer, Julie Sgarzi; and Historian, Sharon-Lee Conway. It was a cold and cloudy day in November when for the first time in the history of the school we defeated our arch rival Plymouth-Carver in the Thanksgiving Day football game. The weather wasn ' t so bad after all, was it? The noise, confetti, and tears of joy lighted everyone ' s vacation. Two other things are vivid in our memories of that year. Remember Mr. Randall ' s wrapping paper and filing cards? And who can forget the soggy car wash we held in Tedeschi ' s parking lot? Juniors and Seniors will report to the Little Theatre for assembly. Juniors and Seniors will be called to the pep rally by the office. We had done it! We were Upper Classmen! Our Class Officers were: Julie Sgarzi, President; Gail Lonergan, Vice-President; Terrell Burke, Secretary; Ann Lovell, Treasurer; and Sharon-Lee Conway, Historian. The Old Colony League crown for the track team led by co-captain Richard Bell; the varsity Girls ' Basketball team paced by Kerry McCabe ' s 160 points; the Navy Band; and the Harvard Glee Club will remain as fond memories of our Junior Year. Finally, we reached the culmination of three years in high school when we pre- sented the Junior Prom, Island of Enchantment. Remember dancing to Some Enchanted Even- ing played romatically by Don Shaw and his orchestra? Elaine Brennan was our Queen and what could be a better birthday present for Ken McGrath than to be king? The realization that we were at last Seniors didn ' t occur to most of us until the third week of school when we settled down to selecting our Senior Class Officers. They were: The Dynamic Duo of Benny and Stew, our President, Stephen Jameson, and Vice-President, Brian Stewart, respec- tively. Our Secretary was Terrell Burke; Treasurer, Ken Packard; and Historian, Sharon-Lee Conway. They governed our class under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Nathanson and Mr. Quinlan. The Senior Class Play, The Happiest Millionaire , was presented November 18 and 19, under the direction of Mr. Winslow Weeks. We never did find out who played the alligator! How proud we were of the early acceptances and the Letter of Commendation winners. Who can forget that long tiring day of College Boards and the many hours spent in the Guidance Office trying to plan our futures? The year passed so quickly and, at last, our Senior Week came, leaving many delightful memories for all. Before we knew it we were alumni of Silve r Lake! The Class of 1967 brought with it lasting friendships and fond memories. High school gave us preparation not only for college through an intensive and varied education, but also for the life we must lead as adults in our society. ; B 3 2

SENIORS Our faces could not mask ourselves, but were ever-changing reflections of what we had been, what we were, and what we might be.
