Our School Life Begins To Acceierute Sophomores already! This year in- cluded equally as many events as our first year: our football team took the State Championship; we chose our class ring of gold and black onyx; Mr. Martin came to Spaulding as our new basketball coach; letter sweaters were given to deserving Varsity athletes; our Sophomore Hop, held on November 5, 1948, with music by the Reveleers, was a huge success; the first Clown Band was originated; the Student Council gave the first Winter Carnival; the Sentinel was chosen the best school paper in Vermont; and pay assemblies were started at dear old S.H.S. Our class officers were: Eleanor Biggs, Pres.; Gary Corey V.- Pres.; Fred Ziter, Sec.; and Marion Spoon- er, Treas. Although our class play, What's in a Name, with Alita Rubalcaba, Pat Clark, Dorothy Gherardi, Charles Wallace, Roger Anzalone, and George Lucchina, didn't win a prize, it was still good. Our Class officers were Gary Corey; VicePres.; Fred Ziter, Sec., Marion Spooner, Trees.; Eleanor Biggs, Pres. II

OFF TO A FLUH START The long awaited day has arrived! On September 3, 1947, we entered Spaulding to begin our high school career. Our first social event was the Freshman Reception held in September. After this, many events occurred: Student Council was revived: Larry Gregoire made varsity football; Free- dom Train came to Montpelier; the Sentinel was chosen best school paper of its class in New England; final exams were held in April; and our class play, The Telegram, took second place in the play contest. Our class officers were Bob Camire, Pres.; Anne Seaver, V.-Pres.; Dorothy Daniel, Sec.; and Jim Collins, Treas. J.V. cheerleaders were established this year with Jo Rossi, Betty Biggs, Pat Saliba, and Rose Tomasi being chosen. Jo and Eleanor were elected to be varsity cheerleaders. Majorettes chosen from our class were Joyce Scrizzi, Dorothy Daniel, Annette Bigras, and Mary Sassone. Our class officers were Bob Camire, Pres.; Anne Seaver, Vice-Pros.; Dorothy Daniel, Sec.; James Collins, Treas. These J.V. cheerleaders really put pep into it when they led the cheers. They designed their own uniforms and each girl made her own.

(56-45); our baseball team won the Northern Lea- gue Championship; and our class play, Jacob Comes Home, came in second in the play contest, with Richard Parnigoni, Pat Clark, Rena Gusmai, Molly Langevin, and Roger Anzalone giving an excellent performance.
