ENioR Class History We, the Class of 1933, entered Somerville High School as Sophomores on Septem- ber 9, 1930. A few days later we were welcomed by Mr. Avery, who explained to a puzzled group of young people the method of procedure in the Senior High School. As Sophomores we were in various activities, but it was not until March 25, 1931, that we elected the following officers: President, John Ronan; Vice-President, Marion Strong; Secretary, Frances Hayes; Treasurer, Joseph Scanlan. To bring a successful year to a close—at least we considered it successful, though perhaps our teachers might have thought our marks were not as high as they should be—an informal dance was held on the afternoon of May 15, 1931. This was an enjoyable function and kept us in good spirits until the end of the year. Our Junior year found us naturally more accustomed to the school. More mem- bers took part in class activities and our contribution to athletics was notable. During our Junior year the class was under the leadership of the following officers: President, John Ronan; Vice-President, Marion Strong; Secretary, Frances Hayes; Treasurer, John Sparkes. Of all school activities perhaps the National Honor Society is the one wherein membership is most coveted, and we were indeed proud when we found that many mem- bers of our class were chosen. Perhaps it was success along this line that spurred us on to make Junior Night successful, at any rate we had a very enjoyable time. Miss Viola Jackson supervised this class function, and was ably assisted by our capable committee: Dennis Dempsey, Margaret Kenney and Robert Miller. This social event provided a fitting close to a very enjoyable year. Our Senior year has passed so rapidly and so pleasantly that it is indeed hard to describe. The following officers were elected to lead us through the happiest year of our school career: President, Robert Miller; Vice-President, Marion Strong; Secretary, Fran- ces Hayes; Treasurer, Joseph Scanlan. The National Honor Society again honored mem- bers of our class, who were initiated at a very impressive ceremony. Senior Play came all too soon, signifying the beginning of the various functions which lead to graduation. Under the supervision of Miss Ruby Sutherland aided by Irving Humphrey, Margaret Bates, Constance Benner, Edward Copithorne, and Ecio Luciano, our committee, a very excellent play was presented. Class Day and Senior Night brought to a close a very eventful year. Somerville High School has done much to prepare us for the responsibilities of life. May we never shirk our responsibilities. May our record in the years to come be an adequate testimonial of our affection and regard for our high school and its teach- ing staff. Frances Hayes, Secretary. [ EIGHTEEN ]
