Senior Class Editorial . . We, the class of '53, depart from dear old SHS. Let us pause a moment and recall our three years together. We elected our class offi- cers in September, IQSO to guide us through the year. Our President was S. Holmes, Vice-Presi- dent, A. Hastings, Secretary, McLaughlin, and Treasurer, C. Appleby. Archie Dostie was our class advisor. During the first month we had our Sophomore Reception. When Coach Sandall came out with his Over- powered Jet and issued a call for football players on the SHS runway, many of the green Soph's Hew to assistance. A number of the boys an- swered the call to basketball the same way. Many girls also test-Highted with Miss Harris. Winter sports, track, and baseball occupied much time each year. ln the fall we joined our classmates. Our ofii- cers were as follows: President, B. Wise, Vice- President, B. King, Secretary, A. Hastings, Treas- urer, C. Appleby. The Student Council mem- bers were B. Wise, B. L. Lewis, L. Tozier, and D. Barrieault. This year our class advisor was Mr. Webber. Coach Sandall did an excellent job with the football team. Many boys occupied the basket- ball court. The number of lun- ior girls who glided with Coach Ratte won the Tri-Angular League trophy. The winter sports team was made up chiefly of Us. B. King and S. Gil- blair were crowned King and Queen at the annual Winter Carnival Ball. Not much studying was done during the big week of the lun- ior Prom. In September, I952 we started our last ride together. The fol- lowing officers carried the load this year: President, B. Kingg Vice-President, B. Wise, Secre- tary, B. Holt, Treasurer, D. Steward. Our last Student Council members were A. Hastings, P. Seamans, D. Steward, and R. Caouette, with B. King acting as President. With Coach Andy Speed, we won six football games, lost four, and tied one. The cheerleaders, with A. Hastings as head cheerleader, did a tel'- rific job. On November 21, we had our annual Sock Hop and crowned King and Queen of Foot- ball. They were B. King and A. Hastings. Their atendants were C. Appleby and D. Therrien. Next we soared in basketball' with Danny Ribbons. A. Dore was our Captain. The girls teamed up with Coach Wilson in basketball. B. Holt was Captain. We were all proud to support new uniforms. This last year our school paper was a hit! Debating, speech, and dramatics boomed all of our three years. joan Graffte, Barbara Holt and Doris Turcotte represented us at Girls' State. Our D. A. R. can- didate was Barbara Holt. Everyone enjoyed the Washington trip, and we are all looking forward to many more happy days before we take the big step in our lives- GRADUATION. -BARBARA I-IoL'r, Senior Class Editor 27
