14 ' 48 This year we lost three of our classmates. These were James Ashworth, who moved to Rhode Island; Eileen Andrews, who moved to Canada; and Gordon Young. So to take the place of these former class officers, we elected Claire Brisson, treasurer, and Claire Pechie, vice-president. After the seniors returned from New York, we took over the pa- per drives and also sold pansies. At long last we reached our senior year. In our first class meet- ing we elected the following class officers: President Raymond Chouinard Vice-President Claire Pechie Secretary Pauline Gribouski Treasurer Claire Brisson A. A. Treasurer Nancy Smith Mrs. Sherin was again elected our class adviser. Our activities this year were numerous since all the seniors were planning on the annual class trip to New York. The first activity of the year, other than paper drives, was a chick- en supper. This supper was a huge success; later in the year a spa- ghetti supper was held with equal success. Late in November the seniors sponsored a hayride. Though we made no profit, the hayride was enjoyed by all. The next activity was the senior play, Mama ' s Baby Boy, held in Sutton Town Hall on November 17, 1947. In December we present- ed our play at Rutland Veteran ' s Hospital. At this point a new member, Reinhard Bom, joined our class, making our number seventeen. In March, Nancy Smith was chosen D. A. R. good citizen from Sutton High . Other activities of note during the year were the tonic sales at basketball games, three whist parties, and the sale of greeting cards. At last came April and the trip to New York. We stayed at the Wentworth Hotel. It can safely be said that everyone enjoyed the trip. As we finish our last year of high school, we, the class of ' 48, wish to express our gratitude to the following teachers who have helped make our four years successful: Mr. Butler, Mrs. Crocker, Miss Don- nelly, Mr. Magane, Mr. Morris, Miss Moshos, Miss Mulcahy, Mr. Place, Miss Ryan, Mr. Schwab, Mrs. Sherin, and Mr. Sullivan.

' 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.
