Looking Back The day had arrived! Sixty-four apprenticed people were starting forth on the road to graduation in this month, September, 1956. All had looked for- ward to this day, and we were not to be disappointed. Soon after our arrival at school, we found that we were assigned to rooms l03 and 209 with Mrs. Davagian and Mr. Shepeluk as our advisors for the year. Being the lowest class in the high school we had to wait until October before having our class elections. Vtfhen the elections were held, the officers elected were: President--Iudy Blanchardg Vice-President--Mark Carlsonp Secretary--Gloria Masters, Treasurer--Iane Brasiskisp Student Council--Iudy Wahlstrom and Brad Beaton. We chose blue and white as our class colors. ln October came the Freshman Initiation. Everybody enjoyed the per- formance, especially the pillow fight between Pat Roy, Pat Craw, Brad Beaton, and Eddie Parent. CThey really slammed those pillows around--in fact, until the feathers started flying.J In the spring, we had the opportunity of putting on the Sophomore Return Party, our only money making project for the year. The entertainment, con- sisting of imitating well-known singers and TV-stars, proved to be very suc- cessful, both in entertainment and in adding to our Washington fund. By Iune we had completed our apprenticeship and were ready to enter our next year as Sophomores and full-fledged members of the high school. As Sophomores, in 1957, we convened in rooms 207 and 209 with Mr. and Mrs. Murdock as our class advisors. Class elections were held and the following members were elected to lead us through the year: President--Judy Blanchardg Vice-President--Pat Roy, Secretary--Brad Beatong Treasurer--Iane Brasislzisp Student Council--Anne Keown and Norman Slocum. It was to our great delight that we made preparation to initiate the in- coming Freshmen, for we could now get revenge for the treatment we had re- ceived the previous year. We held a few dances during the year that added a little more for our Washington fund. ln March, we chose our class rings which we would rocoivo thc following fSCplC:r'1'1l1f:I'.

Thus ended the second step on our road to graduation. In September, 1958, forty-two Iuniors entered the now familiar walls of Sutton High as the largest Iunior class in the history of the school. Shortly after the opening of school, we elected class officers: Presi- dent--Brad Beaton, Vice-President--Eddie Leonard, Secretaiy--Ioanne Stellman, Treasurer--Iane Brasiskis, Student Council--Genevieve Vaundell and Marla Carlson. Our class rings arrived, and no prouder people were to be seen. CDon't touch my ring ll Under the able guidance of our class advisor, Mrs. Plante, we were able to earn the reputation of being the richest class to enter the Senior year. Our success was attributed to candy selling, a food sale Canyone for brownies at ll? eachl and a Ham and Bean Supper. Besides the regular dances we held, we put on the junior Prom, A Song in My Heart, and Sutton Bandstand, a pantomime dance. In Iune we acted as caterers for the Alumni Supper, which honored the Seniors. At the Senior Assembly, seven members, Iudy Blanchard, Nathan Greece, Beverly Hare, Ioanne Stellman, Leonard Swart, Iudy Wahlstrom and Karen Vlfhite were elected to the National Honor Society. In September, 1959, thirty-six honorable Seniors entered the last lap of the journey to graduation. Our officers for the year were: President--Brad Beaton, Vice-President-- Eddie Leonard, Secretary--Beverly Hare, Treasurer--Jane Brasiskis, Student Council--Genevieve Vaundell and Norman Slocum. Doc was to be our guide for the year. Our class won the annual magazine drive during September and was re- warded by an ice cream party and Little Doc , who was to be our mascot. Before many weeks had passed, the Seniors became bloodthirsty and started killing chickens. Gur efforts were well rewarded as we heard several compliments about our Chicken Supper.
