e . —senior In 1948 we were apprehensive sophomores, frightened by thot sprowling, red brick build- ing that loomed so cold and friendless on the hill. Our fears were somewhat colmed when we learned thot many previous sophomore classes experienced this some feeling. We were told that gradually we would become occustomed to our new center of activity. Probobly the first big step from our shell of timidity wos the election of the Sophomore Executive Committee. Our representatives were Anthony Nosson, Mary Korogeorges, William Wolsh ond Ida Brigida. In the fall we returned to the hill os juniors. Now the Seniors were not so oloof and we laughed ot the frightened tenth groders. Were we ever so young looking? We were new more important factors of our group. We took port in mony of the school organizations and many of our members began to assume leadership in vorious fields. We hod our fovorite footboll ployer, our class singer, and o Mr. Basketball. For more important than these things, however, was the fact thot we were making new friends, friends we saw only on the hill. This Junior year wos one of accomplishments. The basketball teom again won the coveted Tech Tourney crown and some of our members were elected to the Notional Honor Society. Then come the Junior Prom. The committee composed of Chairman Frank Henry, Florence Williamson, Ido Brigida, William Walsh and Dixie Walker were responsible for o memorable night. Earlier in the yeor we had elected for our Junior Closs Officers: President, Anthony Nosson; Vice-President, Mary Korogeorges; Treasurer, Thomos Robertson; ond Secretory, Joon Doley. September 1 950 and the Senior year pounced upon us from out of nowhere. The sudden- ness left us no time in which to reflect We were caught in on entirely new world. We had more decisions to make both individually and as a class. We had more functions to attend, we needed more money and we had more friendships to cultivate. For some the senior year dragged tediously; for others it moved ot breakneck speed. As always, the realization downed that graduation would end the trudge to the hill, would end all sports participation, ond would end the mony friendships thot we hod mode during our three yeor visit ot Somerville High. All these thoughts come too late If only we had it to do over....................... This year we elected for our Senior Closs Officers, President - Anthony Nosson; Vice- President, Mory Korogeorges; Treasurer, Thomos Robertson; and Secretary, Joan Daley. Our excellent bosketboll team just missed capturing another Tech Tourney title. We were proud to soy thot they were our representatives in the tourney. The Scholarship Ploy, Angel of Red Canyon , proved to be one of the most outstanding events of the school yeor. In Moy we elected a Senior Night Committee with Choirman Michael Tarantino, Joan Billings, Ida Brigtdo, John Heneghon, ond Gunnel Thorell. This group prepared for our big night For the prom the gym was dccorotcd in o modernistic penthouse design Soft lights, good music, ond handsome couples spelled a very successful evening. Another committee hod the tosk of planning our lost day ot Somerville High This com- mittee consisted of Chairman Fronk Henry, Rita Ryan, Eunice Colesa, James Jensen and Wil ham Wolsh. Now we have groduoted. Three yeors have passed. Years of happy moments that passed too quickly. Years replete with excitement, apprehension, happiness ond friends. Years that hove become part of us Yeors which we know will never be forgotten. Joon Daley, '51 Secretory 22
