Well, you were finally juniors-what a change from Freshmen year! Did I hear someone say you were timid? Oh, no, you werenlt timid! Why you could have run the school if they had given you a chance, couldn't you? That's how you felt, at least! The first big event was Freshman Day . This was the first time the Freshmen had been given a day of recognition. The Seniors were glad to use your suggestions to aid in carrying out their plans. The football season was opened by a winning game with johnson. The Howe game was thrilling and the score was close-W7 to 6 in favor of Tewksbury. The traditional Wilmington game closed the season with a record of six games won, two lost. This year football had become more interesting to the girls, for they were able to understand it more, it was no longer a mystery. This year for the first time Charlie Hazel coached the girls' basketball team as well as the boysh The best games of the season were those with Chelmsford. The boys lost the game at Chelmsford by a few points. The game played here they won. They were proud of this game, because it made the only poor mark in Chelmsford's otherwise perfect record. You gave the Seniors and faculty a Tea Dance Tuesday afternoon of Senior Week. An entertainment was provided by the talented members of the class. Refreshments followed, served by the committee and the class advisors, Miss Maguire and Miss Stanley. The Senior Prom was held, not in the school auditorium as is customary, but at the Reading Country Club. Many of you attended and enjoyed yourselves. The Seniors were repaid for their time and hard work spent in decorating and planning by having the evening turn out a great success, Finally graduation came. You watched Gwennie Barker, Richard Dewing, Rita and Leo Laferriere lead the Seniors down the aisle toward the stage. The big time had come for another class. The History Medal was awarded to Sylvia Brownstein for her excellence in United States History. This is what many of you had been waiting for, but you weren't sorrowful to see Sylvia receive it. The last day of school came. just another summer and then you would be Seniors. Oh, what a wonderful feeling that was. As you left school for the summer the movie camera which the school had earned through its magazine drive filmed your departure. Dances were your specialty during your Senior year. You started the ball rolling with the Halloween Masquerade. Remember Dickie Sullivan's 'lHula Girl costume? At the 'Christmas party, Santa arrived with presents for all the good girls and boys. Cupid and St. Valentine were remembered in February. 'The boys showed the girls that they too could run good dances by taking charge of a belated St. Patrick's Dance. The basketball team answered the question 'kWhere is Tewksburyu by winning not only the Suburban League Championship but the Townsend Tournament as well. Boys and girls alike played in some very exciting games. As you look to the future you think of your Senior Prom, Class trip and Class Banquet and realize that all too soon this, your Senior year, will be over and your High School life will be a thing of the past.
