Class Mistory Gee, Betty, isn ' t it wonderful to see every- body again! It almost seems like a dream, doesn ' t it? I said as Betty and I talked with old friends we hadn ' t been with since gradu- ation. We were attending our first five-year banquet and reunion held at the familiar and ever popular Bear Hill Country Club, right where we had held our senior banquet. Of course, renewing old acquaintances brought back many happy memories. We were completely enjoying this get-together, discussing our high school activities and the good times we had had together. Our thoughts rapidly turned back to 1946, our freshman year in high school. Then we had thought we were rather grown up, but we soon realized that we weren ' t very important at the A. A. Dance; for we had to leave at ten o ' clock. I turned to Jackie Myles, who was trying to remember our class officers for that year. I know, she said, while everyone seemed to be talking at the same time. From the buzz- ing , I finally gathered that Barbara Sprott had been president; John Farrell, vice-presi- dent; Jane Hoyt, secretary; Betty Landry, trea- surer. and Joan Christie, chairman of the social committee. Don ' t you remember, asked Agnes Barney, how shy we felt at our first dances, ' The Mardi Gras ' and ' The Maytime Hop ' ? The sweet little girls were on one side of the gym and the bashful boys on the other. This shyness was suddenly overcome when refresh- ments were served, though. Nancy Barnstead, beautiful as ever, said, But in our sophomore year we really entered high school activities. Let ' s see — I think Ken- neth Leland, Donald Moreira, and Americo Fionda were our stars on the football team that year. Remember our first real dance at Christ- mas, too! During our school days, there was always some eager beaver hurrying around taking either movies or snaps. When we discovered that one of these had brought some films to the banquet, we all wanted to see them. We set- tled down before the movie screen to see our- selves back in the good old days . First, we saw the class officers as they had looked as sophomores. We laughed as we remembered how we had rushed around with nomination papers and cast our ballots. There they were on the screen; Edward Pinato, presi- dent; Betty Landry, vice-president; Shirley Ew- ing, secretary; Joan Christie, treasurer; and Joan Howard and Charles Crocetti, co-chair- men of the social committee. Being first in several things, our class had organized an assembly program that year. Edward Pinato came onto the screen next in- troducing Miss Spinney, who had returned that fall from serving in the WAC. She spoke to us about her numer ous experiences. The Winter Carnival Ball was always a grand event on the school calender. Next there flashed across the screen a shot of Joan Christie, our only attendant in the royal court. Soon came the pictures of the Girls ' Basket- ball Tournament. As the end of March drew near, we had prepared for our first tournament. There before us we now saw Shirley Lord and Lorraine Haley who could make baskets from any position on the floor. Despite their skill, however, the sophomores lost to the juniors. Another first to our credit was the annual Sophomore-Junior Drama Night which was or- ganized under Mr. Ortman ' s direction. How we chuckled as we saw the scenes from Are We Dressing , a comedy featuring Leona Zibell, Nancy Barnstead, and John Wilson. Club Ten then came to the screen. The gym seemed to be transformed into a really swanky night club as Donald Moreira and Daniel Viera, our singing waiters, flashed by. The next moment Tommy Morin was springing from the diving board at Canobie Lake. These were pictures of our class outing the last of June. What fun we had that day! At the end of the first reel everybody began to chatter. Charlotte Dike reminded me that as juniors we had elected John Wilson as presi- dent. Adeline Mustone remembered that the field hockey girls were terrific that fall, for the first team had come through the season un- defeated. John Burns, who was near us, put in a good word for the football team. There was plenty of spirit on that team , John said. Ar- thur Beane, Robert Leland, and John Maffeo were stars for S. H. S. Remember? Will you ever forget the Winter Carnival Ball that year? asked Shirley Ewing, who had been our only representative in the royal pro- cession. And I can see Rudolph Minghella roller skating across the stage in our junior play.
