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. Pauline Thibodeau Lenice Gibson 24

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
