Meeting the chaperones at our Freshman Reception. What a gala evening! start the long journey. On September 19, 1950, the Class of 1954 entered Spaulding as green and scared as any Freshman class could be. However, after a few weeks we were ad- justed to our new home. The annual Freshman Reception was held on September 22 at the Barre Auditorium with music by the Ambassa- dors. The dance, which was attended by two hundred Freshmen, started at 8:30 and lasted until 11:00. We showed good judgment as Fresh- men when we elected Bob Blow, Presi- dent; Sandra Simpson, Vice-President; Allan Eisenwinter, Secretary; and Richard Rossi, Treasurer. Chosen for J.V. cheerleaders were Elaine Gilbert, Margaret Sandison, Irene Fontana, Ellie Henkel, and Mar- lynn Giacherio. These girls showed great school spirit as they led the Spaulding J.V. team to many victories. Representing the Freshman class on the J.V. team were Bob Ford, Bob Blow, and Ray Brassard. “Rich-Man-Poor-Man was our class play which centered around a thrift shop and starred Sandra Simpson as Emma and Dan Yett as Peter. Also in the cast were Jean Abbiati, Jill Morgan, Carole Rizzi, Lois Montague, Marcia Legru, Margaret Sandison, Faralie Billi, Norine Atherton, Anita Cassani, and Charles Belknap. Stage manager was Winnifred Hill, and Charlyne Dean was her assistant. Our Spaulding basketball team, winning the Northern League and State Championship, traveled to Boston where we were defeated.

As sophomores we returned to Spaulding happy to be back. We now knew our way around and had to smile to see the Freshmen lost and be- wildered. We held our first school dance as a class on October 11, 1951. It was put on by our committee of Edith Lawson, Doug Burnham, Jim Corologos, Bob French, Dan Hooker, Silvio Nativi, Jean Abbiati, Elaine Gilbert, Dave Biggs, Marcia Lawson, Jill Morgan, and Bob Tomasi. The additions to the varsity cheer- ing squad were Elaine Gilbert and Irene Fontana. We were also proud to see Sandy Simpson and Joan Plot- ner varsity majorettes. One of the biggest thrills during the year was the selection of our class ring. Shirley Langevin, Bob Blow, Andy Eastman, Bob Weeks, Doug Burnham, Carole Rizzi, Bob French, Jim Coro- logos, and Edith Lawson were the students picked from each home room to represent the class. We chose a in the fall Bob French, Edith Lawson, and Jim Corolo- gos did a fine job. Missing is Doug Burnham. ring with a blue stone and a vertical band through the middle.

We had a nominat- ing committee consisting of last year's class officers and three members of the class. Nominating three for each office, they chose the candidates for the election. The results were Bob French, President; Jim Corologos, Vice-President; Edith Lawson, Secre- tary, and Doug Burnham, Treasurer. as sophs.
