O N SEPTEMBER 5, 1935, as eager awe-eyed students, we took our place as the Sophomore Class of 1938. After being the dignified Seniors of the Junior High, it was difficult to become the unsophisticated Sophomores of the Somerville High School but with due respect to Seniors and Juniors we started our year with a willingness to learn. When we attended our first assembly in Clayton Ellis Hall we were officially welcomed by Mr. Sears, our headmaster. He told us he hoped that we would endeavor to do our very best during our three years’ stay by earnest studying and per- severance. Our executive committee consisting of Rita Regan, Josephine Capone, Walter Whittaker and Anthony Fiore was well chosen to take charge of our business and social affairs. Members of our class were very well represented in dramatics, music, athletics, debating and social events. The Sophomore Hop given in the gym on the afternoon of a sunny spring day was a colorful event which will certainly go down in the diaries or little books of the members of our class as one of their most enjoyable times while in school. Soon after we returned from a well-earned summer vacation while still trying to acquaint ourselves with our long forgotten studies our Junior Class officers were chosen. They were the same pupils who served us on the Sophomore executive committee. Our Junior Night Committee consisting of Isabelle Whitney, Ruth Cooke, Barbara Allen, Ray Kenney, George MacDonald and Alden Worces- ter did very well in making our first evening social the grand success that it was. A musical comedy, “Betty Lou. the Dream Girl,” was very well presented by members of our class during the early part of the evening. Dancing followed in the gym, and as strains from the melodious orchestra softly filled the room the dancing silhouettes ’neath the twinkling blue and silver stars presented a romantic scene. Our Senior year! Soon will be gone the happy privilege of calling our- selves students at Somerville High School. “For us no more the warning bell shall ring, nor busy student ply his homework care.” These were the thoughts which ran through our mind as our Senior year started. We elected again the same class officers with the exception of the president. This time Raymond Kenney received the office due to the leaving of our former leader, Walter Whittaker. Our Senior Play, a comedy in three acts, entitled “A Good Egg,” pre- sented on January 4, was one of which the players, committee and the whole class may well be proud. Class Day! The planting of the green ivy on the front of our school was a symbol of our memory always being there, hoping in turn that we will not be forgotten as long as the ivy winds and clings. Senior Night came, followed by the long-awaited Graduation! Slowly they both fade to a secluded spot in our minds, for only our cherished memories are kept to linger there, and be dwelt upon for many a year to come. We wish to thank sincerely Mr. Sears and all our teachers who so kindly guided us through our years of study and in return we will do our utmost to achieve the best so that we may well be worthy of their praise.
