BHLQHU As we continue on our Way To feats as yet not done, We turn our heads and gaze once more Upon four years of fun. We entered here so lost and scared In ninteen fifty-two, But, as the year sped quickly by, Our doubts all passed from view. We learned to Work successfully, And did our lessons well. The Seniors chose our handsome King And then his reigning Belle. Vacation soon had come and gone, The next year flew so fast. As juniors we looked forward to Our Senior year - our last. For three full years we had preparedg This was the final act. Our training now would help to make Our cherished dreams a fact. Attending our class dances three, We were so blithe and gay. But, while in school we settled down And learned throughout each day. When june appeared our prom was held, Our trip and banquet too. And on our graduation night, Our utmost dream came true. As we look back upon that night, Grave sadness fills each heart. Yet, future years will hold no fears- We've learned to do our part. Claudia Blanchette Page 30

omenis fo leemem er SENlORSl GRADUATION! At long last, the day is drawing near. But before we take our last walk down the Halls of Ivy on Commencement Day, let's meander back to our precious days of high school. l:RESHMENl Shall we ever forget the first day at assembly? The mystifying audiforium, the strange teachers, and those confident Seniors. Could we ever be like that? hlrs. YVoolaver and Mr. Oliver greeted us as our class advisers, and we couldn't have found better. Qur first big event was the election of our class officers. Qur able leaders were Joan Smith, our president and student council representative, Kathleen Bancroft, vice-president, Carl Ebinger, secretary, and Mark Roper, treasurer. Sylvia Roberts, a cute bundle of spirit and energy, was chosen as our football and basketball cheerleader. To our fold we welcomed Judy Briggs, who has done so much for our class. November marked our first dance, The Tur- key Hop, and fun was had by all. We now felt as if we were part of the school. At the senior dance, Maureen Quinn and Ar- thur Brothers reigned as King and Queen. They surely made an ideal couple. Our girls' basketball team was really on the ball. We won the Suburban Championship and also the Littleton Tournament. Do you remember how proud we were? The rest of the year was taken up with dances and many other activities culminating in final exams, which we somehow passed. The grand finale of our freshman year was a fabulous trip to Canobie Lake. Everyone had just the greatest time. 1952-53 also marked a change in the govern- ment, as General Eisenhower became President. The long awaited dream of a truce in Korea finally became a reality. Summer passed all too quickly and we were now sophomores-one more rung up the ladder of success. Firs on the agenda was the election of class officers chosen to head class activities. They were Judy Briggs, president, Edward Vinecour, vice- president, Maureen Quinn, treasurer, and Carl Ebinger, secretary. 'fThe Dungaree Jive was given by our class in October and everyone had a ball in his or her oldest clothes. Ricky Prince, William Day, and Fred Sussen- berger were added to our list of classmates and welcome additions they were. Sylvia Roberts and Maureen Quinn represent- ed our class as football cheerleaders, and .Sylvia also won a coveted spot on the basketball cheer- leaders' squad. ln February Judy Briggs left us to live in Cali- fornia. Ed Vinecour did a fine job when he took over as president. The rest of the year seemed to fly as we were kept busy with sports, dances, and the inevitable homework. The Bermuda and Ceneva Conferences, the atomic sub, The Nautilusf' the H-bomb tests, the exchange of the Korean prisoners, and the Mc- Carthy hearings filled the news that year. Summer vacation flew by as usual, and we were soon back at the old grind, but we rejoiced in being juniors. WVe started the year off as usual with election of class officers. Judy Briggs, who had returned to T.l-l.S., became president once more, Harold Stal- ker as vice-president, Charlene Hazel as secretary, and Bill Day as Treasurer, and they worked hard for the class.
