CLASS HISTORY Very much impressed by the status of our position, we came as Freshmen to Stoughton High. The Class of 1964 sponsored its first dance as members of the High School on January 18, 1961. Mrs. Maureen Alcott, class advisor, worked with the officers — President, Richard Edwards; Vice President, Margo Cokinos; Sec- retary, Diane Kell; Treasurer, Joe Urciuoli; to make the dance a success. On March 18, the class sponsored its second dance which was well-attended and enjoyed by all. The following girls were elected to the Junior Var- sity cheering squad: Janice Corbett, Coralee Mead, Jane Simoneau, Linda Fredericks, and Bernadette Scaduto. Sophomore year, usually hitting with a dull thud, was an exception for the class of 1964. It was indeed a busy one. Under the direction of class officers Thomas Col- lins, Janice Corbett, Linda Ryan, and Joe Urciuoli, a mammoth cake sale was held at the B.P.M. And re- member the Polar Bear Plunge? This was probably the best record hop Stoughton High has ever seen. Sopho- more majorettes were Linda Ryan, Kathy Coffee, Michaele Harrington, Wanita Gomes, and Linda Zai- ser. Before we had time to turn and look, our first two years at the high school were fading behind us. We were here again, first day of school for the third time. The Junior Class, headed by Thomas Collins, Margo Cokinos. Megs Wallace, and Joseph Urciuoli, worked hard to make it a year to remember. After the first successful dance, Cupid Calls, preparation began for the Junior Prom, Moonlight and Roses, held on May 3, 1963. The setting for the prom was a walled terrace with canopies and rose arbors and a picket fence bor- dering the dance floor. Barbara Hall was chosen as the beautiful queen to reign for the evening. The class, deciding to sell sweatshirts and jackets as their class project, found this a profitable means of raising money. Anthony Pollillio, Andrew McCormick, Joseph Creeden, and Joseph Urciuoli were chosen as 18

representatives from S.H.S. to Boys ' State. Barbara Hall was Stoughton ' s representative to Girls ' State. We were upperclassmen, not yet caught in the whirl and wind of Senior days; yet respected as not too an- cient antiques of S.H.S. We are Seniors — and, even now, — the Junior Class is nudging us that we had better gather in the remaining minutes of high school. It has been quite a year. Thanks to the efforts of the waitresses, chefs and busboys, the Spaghetti Supper was a social success; profitable, too. Ronnie Lanza ' s band provided the mu- sic for the evening, and the courageous waitresses joined together singing, Down at Papa Joe ' s. During the year, our vivacious cheering captain, Janice Cor- bett, led the body in cheers for the teams. Linda Ryan was the head majorette. Donna Scripture and George Moses were co-editors of the Stotonian and they worked together with their various committees, to provide us with this book. Under the direction of the class officers, Thomas Collins, Theresa Walsh, Marguerite Wallace, and Jo- seph Urciuoli, the Seniors prepared for the Christmas Dance, Yuletide Enchantment. The setting was a Christmas Scene, cleverly transforming the gymnasium into a wonderland. Tony Camarra ' s band provided the music and later in the evening Santa made his appear- ance, bearing gifts for all present. A most enjoyable evening! Now, with the study halls and school buses in the past, our diplomas rolled, waiting for the ceremony, the historian of the Class of 1964 must put aside this pen dipped in memories. And yet, the history of the class has just begun. These four years are the prologue for tomorrow. And tomorrow . . . 19
