The part of the stage manager was unique as he had to over come the absence of scenery by indicating the necessary props to the audience.

On September 3, 1953, we returned to Spaulding as sophomores. Most of us felt very excited about this. We weren't just green freshmen, but we still had three wonder- ful years to look forward to. Congratulations, Sophs! An Exceptional Job. These were the words of the SENTINEL headline after our Sopho- more Hop, the Football Hop. Home room officers and class officers were committee chairmen. Miss Jean Watson, Miss Christine Martin, and Mr. Paul Nutter, our class ad- visers, helped us plan our dance. The hall was decorated with banners, megaphones, and footballs. Ours was the best attended Sophomore Hop in several years. Our ring committee was made up of class officers and home room presidents. Our class ring committee was made up of the following: Robert Croteau, Richard Pinard, Norma Canales, Nancy Agosta, Valerie Buttura, Sylvia Emslie, Doreen Mekkelsen, and Robert Watson. as sophomores Beat 'em! Bust 'em! That's our custom!'' was our cry as sophomores. During home room period on October 7, we elected as class officers the following: Nancy Agosta for treasurer, Norma Can- ales for secretary, Richard Pinard for vice-president, and Robert Croteau for president. It was especially important for us to se- lect good officers this year because we had two main activities, the Sophomore Hop and the selection of our class rings.

THE JUNIOR CLASS Presents Sherwood Anderson's FM A FOOL Cast Again as juniors we won the annual inter- class play contest. The play, a comedy, I'm a Fool hinges around George, a former stable boy, who for the first time attends the horse races as a spectator. His mother and sister dis- approved of his doings. While arguing with him, they refer to the Dude, who they think is the ideal type. Later he meets Wilbur, Lucy, and Elinor, whom he impresses by using the name of a rich horse owner. George falls in love with Lucy who promises to write to him when she leaves. Because he realizes he'll never receive her letter, the play ends with his saying, I'm a Fool. as juniors . . .
