A big event ot our iunior year was the Junior'Senior Reception. As early as January, the class elected leaders who started preparations at once. Under the direction of Janet Keaveny and Ralph Lewis, the decoration committee chose the theme MOONLIGHT and ROSES and endeavored to reflect this motif in all the gym decorations. Baby pictures of the seniors were sought and a great variety were displayed on the big night. The committee on the luncheon to be served the 400 guests had a busy time of it tor weeks and especially days before the reception. On the preceding page are pictured the Big Four-Paul Gelinas, Janet Keaveny, Mary Angelini, and Ralph Lewis. Standing at the gym door are: Claire LeBlanc, Pau- line Cormier, Joan Fontaine, Rita Dou- cette, and other iunior girls on the iob to give each senior and other guests the most intriguing favors. Mary Angelini, Barbara Touchette, Ralph Lewis, and Janet Keaveny are other iuniors on this page. After the luncheon, the seniors were escorted to the auditorium to see the greatest show of the year, even if we do say it ourselves. Spurred on by leaders Mary Angelini and Paul Gelinas, 75 iun- iors displayed talent unbelievable. Paul Gelinas opened the program with his speech of welcome. This was followed by an AVE MARIA solo by Beverly Gen- dron. On this page we see the group in the CHARLESTON skit, the OTHELLO act, and the dancers and singers in the CALYPSO hit.
