emer Dolores W. Ballou Shirley D. Barr Leon J. Bastien, Jr. Donald A. Bates Golly, do we have some sharp seniors this year! They stand out as do the high notes in our musical score. First, we have John Donovan, president of the senior class. John has the admira- tion of his classmates and teachers because of his pleasing personality and school spirit. Tech is proud of his speaking abilities, for he proved to be outstanding at the Model Congress. Of course you all know the seniors’ vice- president, Ted Dimauro. Besides this task Ted has undertaken the presidency of the band and vice-presidency of the Student Council. Another personality you must meet is Ann Elphinstone, the charming Miss the lucky seniors have for secretary. Ann has to her credit many extra-curricular activities including the office of News Editor of the Tech News. Concluding, we want to wish success to these outstanding Techites, Normand J.

Anderson The guiding notes in our Senior Sonata are our six advisers: Mr. William Clancy, Mr. Fales Newhall, Mrs. Goldie Parks, Miss Ann Ratto, Mr. John Robinson, and Miss Eugenia Wilson. How lucky we are to have such willing teachers to help us with our problems and lead us in the right direction! Quite a responsibility confronts these teachers as senior advisers. First, they assist in the planning of the senior dances. This planning includes inventing a theme, making decorations, deciding upon refreshments, and procuring an orchestra. Certainly, this is a big bill to fill! And there are three dances given for seniors: an informal, a semi-formal, and a formal. The last dance requires extra work since it is the senior prom held at the auditorium. Not only do these teachers sponsor and plan dances, but they also sit in at all com- mittee meetings including those of the banner, color, ballot, and hat committees. Now, at the end of our high school career we want to extend our thanks to these unforgettable friends. Ann H. Atanian Albert M. Ayers Barbara E. Baker Robert A. Ballard

Bussolari Pat J. Cardaropoli Left to right: Gene Herbert, Bill Harris, Ed Moll, Dick Moll. Three years ago this coming September, Bill Harris entered Tech with the Class of 51 and became a member of Room 202. Shortly before the close of the school year Bill experienced a serious illness which required operations. These helped him enough so that he was able to return to school the following September. As he had some freshman subjects, he was enrolled in Room 327 where he completed the year. This picture was taken during a pleasant summer spent by Gene Herbert, Bill Harris, and Dick and Ed Moll on Lake Winnipesaukee. ; Very shortly after returning to school this year, Bill became ill again. He left school, of course, and again underwent a series of operations. Just plain grit and determination have made Bill, through constant practice, able to walk again. Should he be able to return to school — and we are all hoping that he will — he would enter as a junior. This story may mean little to some of you, but to most of us who know and like Bill it is our tribute to his never-failing courage and a small token of our affection. Hurry back to Tech, Bill!
