In November, Leonard Swart replaced Norman in the Student Council and Genevieve took Norman's place as president of the Student Council. Around this same time, the townspeople were often interrupted in their work by ambitious Seniors who had decided to become salesmen. Two weeks before the Christmas vacation, Mr. Lavallee joined us for a while because Doc had to have an eye operation. We missed Doc , but we enjoyed the six weeks that Mr. Lavallee stayed with us. Work began on the Exitus, and classes were broken up by Seniors rushing to meet the deadline. Iudy Blanchard was chosen for the Student Government Representative and attended the meeting of all such state representatives in Boston. Beverly Hare was chosen as the D.A.R, representative and spent a day at the annual D.A.R, convention. In February, we presented a Valentine Dance which was the median be- tween a formal ball and a record hop. Now as we leave all this behind, we wish to thank those teachers and parents who made it possible to attain our goal. Beverly Hare

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.
