On the following Sat- urday a repeat performance was held in the Whitinsville Methodist Church. The play, of course, was a great success. We would like to thank Mr. Scheurer for his untiring efforts in di- recting the play, (and also for the cokes he bought us). Needless to say, this play could not have run successfully with- out the much appreciated presence of the townspeople,

18 ' 50 Class History As we turn the pages back let us see what we shall find . . . Early inSeptember, 1946, twenty-eight bewildered students entered the doors of Sutton High School for a more advanced education. • After getting acquainted, we elected: Conrad Vigeant, President; Harold Smith, Vice-President; Mary Savoie, Secretary; Dorothy Minor, Treasurer; and Eva Ceccarini, A. A. Treasurer. Miss Ryan, was class adviser. Blue and gold were chosen for our class colors. The month of October 1946, will long be remembered because it was the month of our initiation. We were compelled to do what the Sophomores thought most appropriate. Later in the year we recipro- cated by giving the Sophomores a Return Party. We began our Sohpomore year a little wiser and with more confi- dence. We were now only eighteen in number. We. elected: Harold Smith, President; Benjamin MacLaren, Vice-President; Ruth Green, Secretary; Barbara Hemingway, Treasurer; and Hilda Swart, A. A. Treasurer. Mr. Schwab was class adviser. As was the custom, we, in turn, initiated the freshmen. In 1948, we returned as Jolly Juniors”. Class officers were elected as follows: Hilda Swart, President; Dorothy Minor, Vice-President; Wil- liam Johnson, Secretary; Haroll Smith, Treasurer; and Benjamin Mac- Laren, A. A. Treasurer; Mrs. Sherin, was class adviser. In September, we had the privilege and opportunity of selecting our class rings. We obtained them from the L. G. Balfour Company of Attleboro. Finally, we reached our Senior year, which we consider the most eventful of all the years spent in S. H. S. We elected for our officers: William Johnson, President; Harold Smith, Vice-President; Dorothy Minor, Treasurer; Mary Savoie, Secretary; and Shiley Briggs, A. A. Treasurer. M. Schwab, was class adviser. Thee were now only ten of the original twenty-eight left. We spent much of our time raising money which went toward our recent trip to Washington and New York. In March, 1950, Dorothy Potter, was chosen D. A. R. Pilgrim. . . Thus having completed four years at Sutton High we fondly bid good-bye to the faculty and pupils of S. H. S. Teachers who helped to make our four years a success and who tried to instill a little know- ledge were: Mr. Schwab, Mrs. Sherin, Mr. Butler, Mr. Magane, Miss Ryan, Miss Moshos, Mr. Place, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Scheurer, Mr. Mirliani, and Mr. Brigham.
