Class History On September 4, 1947, we, the class of 1951, entered the portals of the grand and glorious institution, Sutton High School. Without much ado, we chose the following as class officers to guide us for the first year; Ed Plante, president; Andre Peladeau, vice-president; Jeannette Bernier, secre- tary; Janie Bates, treasurer; and Conrad Vigeant, A. A. treasurer. Miss Ryan (now Mrs. Donald Deary) became our class advisor. Later in September the Sophomores very thoughtfully invited us to our initiation at the town hall. The initiation went quite well although it had its embarassing moments. The next month we held the traditional Return Party in honor of the Sophs. The rest of the year went quite uneventfully, although different events sponsored by the upperclassmen were much enjoyed. After a long summer, we returned to Sutton Hig h for our Sophomore year with Miss Ryan again acting as class advisor. We elected Normie Minor, president; Eddie Plante, vice-president; Janice Swindell, secretary; Art LaFleur, treasurer; and Jeannine Forget, A. A. treasurer. This year it was our turn to initiate the Frosh. This one evening was worth waiting for a whole year. The Freshmen finally reciprocated with a return party in March of the following year. So the year ended, but not uneventfully. As Juniors we selected the following class officers; Norman Minor, president; Eddie Plante, vice-president; Jane Bates, secretary; Ruth Patterson, treasurer; and Art LaFleur, A. A. treasurer. This year our class was under the advisorship of Mr. Place. By now the class of 1951 felt quite elite with a cozy membership of seventeen. Our Junior year seemed to end before it had begun; and the summer vacation prior to our last year was upon us. The days passed by, with everyone anticipating the be- ginning of our Senior year in the new school. The opening of school was delayed two weeks; but the seventeen Seniors agreed that our new building was well worth waiting for.
