Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of Sutton High School, being the first to graduate from this new and marvelous building, do hereby affirm this to be our last will and testament.

To Mr. Flanagan, we will a serious-minded Latin class. To Mr. Stone, we will a safety-first class to help him in Manual Training.

As class officers we chose: Eddie Plante, president; Normie Minor, vice-president; Janie Bates, secretary; Ruth Patterson, treasurer; Grant Johnson, president of A. A. This done, we started paving the way for our trip to New York and Washington, which is still a dream of the future. As does each Senior class, we chose a D. A. R. Pilgrim to attend the annual con- vention at Boston. Janice Swindell was the girl chosen. In an election conducted by Mr. Schwab, Norman Minor was chosen to represent this school in Boston on Good Government Day. The class wishes to congratulate both Janice and Norman on their being selected. In December we presented our long awaited, long worked on, Senior play. This play, “Here Comes Charlie,” seemed to be very well received. We again wish to thank Miss Anne Beechler for her endless hours and untiring effort in the production of our play. We would also like to thank Mr. Michel Scheurer and Mr. Roscoe Fisher for their able assistance. This year, for the first time in the history of the school, the boys’ varsity basket- ball team won a game in the annual Clark Tournament. We mention this because Coach Place was honored to have his varsity composed of five Seniors. In February we held a Valentine’s Ball, featuring “The Hilltoppers” from Holy Cross College, Worcester. An enjoyable time was had by all who attended. Once more, we, the graduating class of ’51, wish to thank the teachers, classmates, and friends, who have helped start us on the road of life. Norman Minor Edward Plante.
