Remember our Junior Prom? The results of six months of hard work! Then that May evening— a nice warm Spring evening; we rode up to the Auditorium in ex- pectation of a wonderful time We weren’t disappointed. Ex- cited couples in their best clothes hastily checked theiT coats and hurried on to the main floor. As we walked through a white gar- den gate lined by Dirch trees, we saw a large wishing well in the middle of the floor flanked by trees and grass. Covering the walls were favors with little wishing rings attached—one for each person You didn't have to guess to discover our theme was “Wishing. ’’ The Norwich Gren- adiers furnished the musical background for our gala affair. It was quite a view from the bal- cony; wishing well crowded by couples throwing in pennies, gaylv decorated “wishing” walls, and couples having a wonderful time dancing to the haunting melodies of the Gren- adiers. Remember our Junior Prom? A penny in the uislung uvll, goo«i iralics tonight we foretell PLANING PROCESS AND EMERGE As juniors we were kept busy with games, dances, and the usual activities; but the highlight of the year was our Prom—a huge success! The class showed good judgment when they chose as their officers: Arthur Solomon, President; Eveline Samson, Vice-president; Russell Camire, Secretary; and Janet Murphy, Treasurer. Delegates to Girls’ and Boys’ State were chosen, and on the Monitor posts could be seen a few honored juniors proudly wearing the symbolic badge. Another outstanding event of the year was the winning of the State Basketball Tournaments. School was closed for two days to allow the students to attend the New England Tourney at Boston Gar- den This trip is one which will well be remembered by all who went, although Bridgeport did prevent us from bringing the desired honor home Yes, we were caught up in a whirl of excitement during our first year as upper- classmen and eagerly awaited the day when we would be—Seniors! 3

Back Row, Arthur Solomon, Russell Camire Front Row; Eveline Samson, Janet Murphy Exciting is the word to describe the atmosphere during the week be- fore the memorable trip to Boston. Many memories of hotels, restau- rants, and the game will always be in the minds of those who were lucky enough to attend. Although, to many students, the Boston Tournament was the high- light of the year, an equally enjoy- able performance was the Junior Play. The play proved to be so realistically presented that chills were running along the spines of many members of tne audience. Of course, Jackie’s rescuing Ronnie from Maureen eased the tension and gave the play a happy ending.

The raw material was almost a finished product. The monitors were on the job patiently di- recting the traffic, and the underclassmen’s admiring looks bolstered our egos. Jack Frattini was class President; Warner Shedd, Vice-president; Jackie Shepard, Treasurer; and Margaret Goyette, Secretary. Our first money-making project was a gigantic food sale which netted us a tidy sum The turnover from our Senior Play and the sale of Spaulding ban- ners helped, too. The Echo staff got off to a bad start but finally settled down to produce a successful yearbook. Almost before we knew it, we had reached the top of the foothill, but though the big climb is yet to come, we’ll fondly recall those memorable years at S. H. S. A typical monitor gab session.
