The financial situation of the class made it necessary to cancel plans for the trip to Washington, Instead, we voted to go to Eastover, in Lenox, Massachusetts, Our chaperones were Mr, and Mrs. Douville and Mrs. Cohen, In June we shall reach the end of our four-year journey and bid adieu to our Alma Mater. Although this date signifies an end, it is also a beginning, Let us journey forth bravely and nobly, our hearts filled and thrilled with earnest and noble purpose, trusting that whatever our lots may be, we, each and all, may be identified with what is noble and good, Nora Benson

As juniors we met with Mrs. Plante, our class advisor, and elected the following class officers: Donald Conley, President, Bruce Hunton, Vice-President, Nora Benson, Secretary, Susan VanderBaan, Treasurer, and Mary Ellen Bousquet and Raymond Godbout, Student Council Representatives. Mary Ellen was later elected secretary of the council. The members of the class turned into candy salesmen as we began our fund raising projects for the year. This was followed by a dance in October. During the fall many juniors worked hard to help make the play Finders Creepers a success. A grim shadow befell the entire school body with the passing of Mrs. M. Eleanore Lachapelle. She will always be remembered for her inspiration and help. A combination car wash and food sale held in April was very successful. On April 9, 1960, our gym was transformed into a beautiful Japanese garden as we presented the Junior Prom, Japanese Serenade. Lois Eaton was chosen queen and was accompanied by two very attractive attendants, Mary Ellen Bousquet and Pat Fisher. The remainder of the year included a dance and the annual Alumni Banquet which honored the seniors. At graduation exercises the new members of the National Honor Society were announced. They were Marsha Bentley,Mary Ellen Bousquet, Esther Darby, Dolores Kurtyka, and Phyllis Mosczynski. At this time Esther Darby was awarded the D.A.R. History Award and Dolores Kurtyka was the recipient of two awards -- the Most Outstanding Business Student and the Best Typist, given by the Underwood Typewriter Company. Thus ended the third step of our journey -- only one more remained. The long awaited senior year finally arrived.We met with our class advisor, Mr. Schwab, to elect the class officers. The following were elected: Robert Nunnemacher, President, Joseph Martin, Vice-President, Nora Benson, Secretary, Susan VanderBaan, Treasurer, and Esther Darby and James Renaud, Student Council Representatives. Later Robert Nunnemacher was elected President and Esther Darby, secretary, of the Council. The fall season proved to be a busy one for us as we held a car wash, the Annual Chicken Supper, sold Christmas cards, and held a Whist Party. Many seniors also took part in the play, No More Homework. In January, Lois Eaton was chosen by her classmates and the faculty to be the D.A.R. Representative. James Renaud was chosen as the class repre- sentative for Good Government Day.
