' 48 13 Class History Four short years ago we entered the portals of Sutton High as freshmen. We elected Anthony Auger, President; Claire Pechie, Vice- President; Eileen Andrews, A. A. Treasurer; Nancy Smith, Class Treasurer; and Barbara Brink, Secretary. Miss Mulcahy was elected as class adviser. We chose crimson and white as our class colors. Soon we became full-fledged freshmen when our superiors, the sophomores, duly initiated us. Lucille Currier and Nancy Smith were our representatives in the finals of the Speaking Contest. Ray Chouinard played in the Clark University Basketball Tour- nament held in Worcester that year. Ray was awarded a prize for his excellent performance in our one-act play — Elmer. We returned in 1945 with the feeling of superiority known only to sophomores. Class officers elected were as follows: Ray Chouinard, President; Gordon Young, Vice-President; Barbara Brink, Secretary; Nancy Smith, Treasurer; Eileen Andrews, A. A. Treasurer. Mr. Schwab was our new class adviser. On September twenty-first we had the pleasure of initiating the freshmen. Nancy Smith displayed her talent as a violinist by winning the first prize at a Grange meeting held in East Douglas. Early in September of ' 46 we — now Jolly Juniors — entered Sut- ton High for our third hectic year of both fun and grim despair. Imagine our surprise when we noted four new students. Three of these were John Tebo, Richard Stopyra, and Robert Pouliot, veterans. The fourth new member was Claire Brisson, a Vermonter, who had recently moved to Manchaug. At our first class meeting, we elected the following class officers: President Raymond Chouinard Vice-President Gordon Young Secretary Pauline Gribouski Treasurer Eileen Andrews A. A. Treasurer Nancy Smith Mrs. Sherin was elected our class adviser. In November we selected our class rings from the Balfour Com- pany. The highlights of the year were two parties. The first one was given at the home of Nancy Smith; and -the second, a birthday party in honor of Claire Brisson, was held at Lucille Currier ' s home.
