We began our second year at Spaulding in September 1954 feeling very superior to the new freshmen because we were sophomores. loiter on in September we chose our class officers. Janet Barrett was chosen president; David Friberg, vice-president; Barbara McKnight, secretary; and Renee Gray, treasurer. Our Sophomore Hop turned out to be a gala affair just as we anticipated with the auditorium decorated in a Halloween theme. The witch riding her broomstick across the moonlight stage failed to scare any of the happy dancers away. “The Marriage Proposal” was the soph- omore entry in the class play contest held in March. With such fine actors and ac- tresses, we turned out to be the winners of the Contest. In April we received our long-awaited class rings and proudly showed them to everybody. Then it was time for class day again, and this time we marched down the right hand aisle. We were Juniors! solemn and David Parnigoni, Louise Ilotte, and John Monte in a scene from out Sophomore play, “Marriage Pro- posal. ’ easy-going sophomores; This group seemed to have enjoyed themselves at the Sophomore Hop.

On September 1953, we entered Spaul- ding with fear and trepidation wondering if we would ever find our way through the maze of halls and rooms and the crowds of upperclassmen. Our first big dance we attended was the Freshman Reception put on by the Stu- dent Council. At first, we were a little shy and scared, but as the evening wore on our shyness wore off and eleven o’clock came all too soon. Here we went through out first receiving line. Later on it became necessary to have some class officials and those elected were Douglas Gordon, president; Claire Law- liss, vice-president; Mary Agnes Finn, secretary; and Joanne Wilson, treasurer. In February the annual class play con- test was held, and our entry in the contest was called “The Doctor in Spite of Him- self.” When June rolled around, we were able to wear our class colors of blue and gold for the first time and proudly march down the aisle to the “Spaulding March.” Douglas Gordon, president; JoanneVVilson, treasurer; Mary Agnes Finn, secretary; Claire Lawliss, vice-president. tt 1 1 Whether we be shy and curious freshmen, THE DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF Sganarelle Manuel Carcoba Marline Nancy Ladd M.
