Senior Llass History in September, 1946, the Class of 1949 first walked through the doors of Somerville High. As sophomores we were baffled os to the whereabouts of our classrooms and, of course, the location of that ever popular clevotor. After o few weeks, however, we were less gullible and become occustomed to such sayings as to get to the girls' gym, you go down to the basement and through the boys' gym. We quickly acquainted ourselves with the many organizations and were soon dividing our talents in all activities. Class elections were held in December ond Louis DeSimone, Borboro Smith, Dorothy Miller, and Louis Pacini were elected to our Executive Committee. In early March, the Herald Spelling Bee took place. Elinor Tye won this contest. ■ As Juniors, with a yeor of experience behind us, we renewed our acquaintances and once ogoin continued our participation in the vorious organizations. The boys were prominent in the field of sports and everyone enjoyed the school's social activities. We were well represented in such extra-curricula organizations os Glee Clubs, Portia, and Ployers' Club. A few juniors helped to present the Song of Bernadette and moke it a success. Class officers for the junior yeor were Louis DeSimone, president; Barbara Smith, vice- president; Elsie Constantine, secretary; ond Louis Pocini, treasurer. In April we held our Junior Prom. The gym wos beautifully decorated with purple- and white umbrellas representing April Showers. Much of the credit should be given to the Choir- mon of the Committee, Donold Gifford, and his assistants, Catherine Breen, Robert Dini, Marilyn Parkinson, and Guy Brigida. Gerold Nardone received the Horvord Book Prize. As seniors we looked forwrad to our lost wonderful yeor at S. H. S. — a yeor full of excitement ond experiences which will olwoys be cherished by oil of us. During this yeor we enjoyed a remarkably successful year of sports. Our basketball team come up from behind to smosh through the Tech Tourney ond win the New England Tourney. Our Track Team also showed what Somerville could do by competing with all Boston High Schools ond winning the Donold Enoch Trophy. While the regular coaches of bosketboli, hockey, and boseboll were continuing with their previous year's successes by adding more trophies, our new coaches of football ond track fell into line with fine teams. The gym was beautifully decorated in Oriental design that night in Moy when we held our memoroble Senior Prom. Our Senior Night Committee wos led by Chairman Guy Brigida ond his assistants Mary Lou Ahearn, Marilyn Porkinson, John Forte, ond Arthur Rhuda. Our Class officers were President, Robert Dini; Vice President, Catherine Breen; Secre- tary, Elsie Constantine; ond Treasurer, Louis Pacini. Class Day wos held on June third and through the committee of Ronald Noonan, Donald Gifford, Marilyn Bellini, Barboro Smith, ond Norman Mack, we enjoyed our lost day at S. H. S. very much. To speak of one orgonizotion would meon including every one os they were excellently and expertly led by the Class of 1 949. It is the usual aim of every closs to make theirs the best ever. Well, the Fortyniners hove surpassed all others in winning trophies, prizes, awards, and achievements in sports, orgonizotions, and scholarship!
