Beechler and Mr. Donald G. Schwab. We feel their influence has been outstanding. Class of 1952 1 Editorial With graduation exercises, the period of protected living comes to a close for most of us. We are challenged by the future. Having acquired a background of environmental influences, we are shown the opportunities which God and America have made possible. We are aware, or should be, of the work we must do if we are to realize these opportuni- ties. Above all, we must strive to do those things which will benefit, not only ourselves, but the people around us. We do not have easy times to step into as men and women. We have rather an immense responsibility. We have the challenge of the future. If we make a success of our lives, we can attribute this achievement, in a large part, to our background. Hence, as we stand on the threshold of a great experience, we look back upon an equally great one which now terminates. We sincerely thank our parents, who have made these im- portant years possible, our teachers, who have made them worthwhile, and our friends, who have made them golden. We leave Sutton High School with reluctance for she has certainly been our friend and educator. 2 FACULTV Due to technical difficulties the picture of Mr. Earling Hanson was not secured in time for ship- ment.

Theresa Minor Claudette Tousignant 20 Ten Years Later It was 1962, and I had just returned from my Civil Service job in France when I met my old classmate, Paul Bjork, in Boston. He informed me that he had recently returned home after checking up on his Inter-State Trucking Concern. I learned that a class reunion was to be held at Doc Schwab ' s new home in Oregon. Paul suggested that he fix one of his larger trucks with seats and transport the class to Oregon in this manner. This seemed like a novel idea and while the truck was fixed we searched for our old friends. Since we were in Boston, we decided first to get Betty Keeler, Franklin Smith, and Connie Crosier. We proceeded to the Boston Children ' s Home where Betty is head nurse. She greeted us warmly and joined us enthusiasti- cally. It was then suggested that we go to the airport, as Connie had become a successful trans-world airline hostess. We found Connie getting ready to go home to Washington, D. C. , but she changed her plans and was ready to leave with us. Our next stop was Franklin ' s boarding house, where we were informed that he was nt rehearsal in Orchestra Hall. We proceeded to the hall and waited quietly. Franklin had obtained the position of first cello player in the Boston Symphony. Soon the rehearsal was over and Franklin saw us. We related our plans to him and he quickly readied himself to join us. Our next stop was Worcester where we found Lenice Gibson, Marilyn Wells, Irene Mongeon, and Pauline Thibodeau. We first stopped in front of Irene ' s beautiful ranch-style home ( her job as a stenographer had led to maprying the boss. ) When she was ready, we proceeded to the State Mutual building where Pauline worked as an office manager. Next we went to get Lenice at Barnard ' s where she holds an excellent position as clothing sales manager. Lenice was overjoyed to see us and talked for quite awhile. Next we stopped at a nursery, for that ' s where Marilyn was to be found. She owns an outstanding home for children from one to six years of age. Marilyn became quite excited when she heard our plans and was ready in a few seconds, declaring that it would be such a relief to get away from all the % noisy children for a while - yes, it certainly was just like old times! We quickly departed for our home town to gather a few more of our old classmates. Our first stop in town was a + a spacious and modern Sutton shopping center where Joan Brigham is in charge of arranging advertising displays. We then proceeded to Pete ' s and Bub ' s garage. Gordon Walden filled the gas tank while we told him of our plans. He liked the idea of going in a truck and he was soon off to find his partner, John Peterson. Before 21 long they were back and ready to leave with us. We then continued to Lynwood Eaton ' s dairy farm. Eynn was more than glad to see us and treated us to some of his famous homemade ice cream. After leaving Lynn ' s we went to Westboro where we got Donald Ellis and Ronald Moss. Donald owns fifty-one per cent of the shares of the Westboro Arena, and Ronnie is a prominent stock car driver. From Westboro we left for Connecticut where we found Theresa Minor and Claudette Tousignant. Theresa is a leading interior decorator and Claudette is her private secretary. They were overjoyed at the prospect of going to Oregon. And so we jolly seventeen were again together, and what a merry time we had on our trip across the country. We reminisced about the gone and almost forgotten days at S. H. S. and before long we had reached Oregon. Doc was almost as glad to see us as we were to see him again. We stayed at Doc ' s beautiful new home for two short days and all agreed that ours was the best reunion ever. Johanne Potter Paul Bjork 22 Class History On September 8, 1948, forty-one bewildered Freshmen entered the portals of Sutton High School to begin a four year period of secondary education . After getting acquainted, we held our first class meeting and, by an unprejudiced vote, elected the following class officers: George Lavalley, president; Joan Brigham, vice-president; Claudette Tousignant, secretary; Connie Crosier, treasurer; and Sylvia Anderson, A. A. treasurer. Mr. Place was our class advisor. Maroon and white were chosen as our class colors. Later in September we officially became a part of the high school. Our initiation at the hands of the Sophomores will be well remembered. To show our appreciation, we Freshmen held a return party in honor of the Sophomores on March 25, 1949- It was a great success. In our Sophomore year of 1949, we started the new sdhool year with a membership of twenty-nine. At our first class meeting, which was held on September 13, 1949, we chose our new class officers as follows: President, Robert Conley; vice-president, Harold Sheldrick; secretary, Sylvia Anderson; treasurer, Connie Crosier; A. A. treasurer, Gordon Walden. Mrs. Sherin became our class advisor. We also began our preparation for the Freshman initiation party and decided on September 30, for that terrifying night for the Freshmen. They, in turn, gave us a return party which was held on December 2, 1950. The Junior class began the new year of 1951, with the grand total of eighteen members. As Juniors, we elected president, Joan Brigham; vice-president, Lynwood Eaton; secretary, Betty Keeler; treasurer, Connie Crosier; A. A. treasurer, Gordon Walden. Class advisor was Mr. Schwab. Our long awaited for class rings arrived in February and it was a happy day for the Juniors. Thoughts of raising money for our trip to Washington and New York were with us constantly. We held quite a few successful dances and paper drives . 23 Finally we reached the most eventful year of all, our Senior year. There were now only seventeen, of the original class of forty-one. As class officers we chose the following: President, Lynwood Eaton; vice- president, Franklin Smith; secretary, Betty Keeler; treasurer, Connie Crosier; A. A. treasurer, Marilyn Wells. Mr. Schwab was again our class advisor. More money had to be raised as our trip kept drawing closer and closer. We collected more scrap paper, sponsored more dances and gave our very successful Senior Supper on October 20th. Our Senior play, Bolts and Nuts was received by a large, appreciative audience. Our thanks to Miss Beechler for her hours of patience with the cast. We chose as our class motto, Good to Forgive; Best to Forget. Deep red and white roses were chosen as class flowers. Having completed four years at Sutton High, we fondly bid good- bye to the faculty and our former classmates.

Boys’ Sports This year basketball season started with the loss of our coach of the past four years, Mr. R. E. Place. His replacement by Mr. Louis LeBlanc proved successful with the acquainting and organizing of the team. Our record, though not too impressive, cannot show the fight we put up in every game.

The scoring of the first five was, Bob Craw, 205; Lanny Goodwin, 138; Donald Ellis, 79; Hoot Gibson, 55; Roy Grandone, 28. When the W. W.C. League season closed, Sutton received an invitation to play in the Clark Tournament. We played Townsend on February 18, 1952, and lost, 63-45. Our thanks to Mr. LeBlanc for his coaching and the people who followed us, for their support.

Qirls’ Sports Although we had hoped for an undefeated season, the girls ' basketball team ended with ten victories and two defeats, the best record Sutton has had in many years. Our victories were all run-away games, the only close one being with Rutland. This was a thrilling performance, and was forfeited to Sutton in the last fifteen seconds of play, because of over-excitement. Genevieve Szewerenka and Hazel Whittier were our co- captains. Hazel ' s, Jenny ' s, Alice Szewerenka ' s , and .Lenice Gibson ' s quick passing and fast moving action brought us through to many victories. Loretta Amour, Irene Mongeon, Betty Keeler, the starting guards, kept down the opposing teams ' scores, fed the forwards, and fought on to victory in game after game. Alyse Hoover, Rena Zuidema, and Jane Cote were more necessary material in our victorious season. 34 The results were: Sutton 29 A lumni 13 Sutton 35 Auburn 16 Sutton 34 Auburn 26 Sutton 52 Millbury 30 Sutton 40 Northbridge 28 Sutton 41 Northbridge 15 Sutton 42 North Brookfield 18 Sutton 33 Rutland 31 Sutton 27 North Brookfield 38 Sutton 28 Brookfield 18 Sutton 32 Brookfield 34 We wish to thank Miss Buertin, our coach, for doing the wonderful job she did. Through her never ending optimism, she lead us to victory after victory. Manager, Joan Brigham, performed her job with never ending vigor. We wish to thank her very sincerely; also Joyce Flanagan, timer, and all the loyal people who supported us throughout the entire season. Betty Keeler Cheerleaders FIRST ROW.

Outside of a chair being broken, a few of the characters laughing at their own jokes, and Wilbur squirting water in Rebecca ' s face, everything went quite well and we received the applause for which we had hoped and wo rked . Miss Beechler ' s coaching and understanding was deeply appreciated by the class. We sincerely hope that she enjoyed working with the cast. 39 FIRST ROW: Claudette Tousignant, Jane Cote, Shirley Burgess, Joan Brigham, Betty Keeler and Connie Crosier.

PRO MERITO The National Honor Society, commonly known as Pro Merito is made up of those students who maintain an average of eighty-five per cent or better at the end of each school year. Only Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are eligible for membership and they must also have qualities of leadership, service, scholarship, and character. Pro Merito is an honorable goal which all students should strive to attain. 40 FIRST ROW: SECOND ROW: THIRD ROW: FOURTH ROW Joan Cote, Phyllis Marble, Elaine Corriveau, Johanne Potter, Evelyn Rivernider, and Judy Freeland Connie Crosier, Marilyn Wells, Hazel Whittier, Joyce Flanagan, Shirley Burgess, Joan Brigham, Alyse Hoover, Barbara Lewis, Lenice Gibson and Betty Keeler.

A student leader, Paul Bjork, was selected to take charge whenever necessary. On December 20, we gave our Third Annual Christmas Concert. We were well received despite the fact that Mr. Mirliani was unable to direct us. Paul Bjork took over and did an excellent job. A Spring Concert is planned to be presented in April. We hope to be better than ever in this last concert with Mr. Mirliani as our director . I believe that I may speak for every member of the Glee Club when I say that we will miss Mr. Mirliani and that we wish to thank him for everything he has done for us.
