CLASS HISTORY Dear Classmates: Four years have passed. Years in which history has been made, new records completed, experiences lived and passed over. We, the Class of. '39, must go on to higher institutions of learning, to positions in homes or business organizations, to face life as only a graduate of Walpole High is equipped to do. We do not deny that our four years here have aided us tremendously, nor can we deny that many will be the heartaches and fond remembrances which we experience in later years as we look back over our youth. Here at the Hill Top we have made some of our fondest and most everlasting friendships, here we have lived through some of the happiest years of our life. One hundred and seventy-four bewildered Freshmen, a large class for Walpole High, streamed through the halls that day in September as we were finally launched on our illustrious high school career. We say bewildered for more than one student will have to admit that at times his exact whereabouts were not quite clear to him those first few days. Aside from this minor trouble, Lyndon Welch's verbosity. in Miss Frye's English class was a major item in the Frosh wonder class, to say nothing of Maestro Davis' ability at the piano. In short-ours was a class to be noticed. Joy of all joys! Class elections upon genuine paper ballots for candidates nominated in a previous primary. The officers chosen to lead our class through that important first year were Carl Hagbloom, John MacLeod, Lorraine Sadler, and Mary Dowd. A large Freshman class contributed to an equally large Glee Club in a great way, and of course, was largely responsible for the stellar performance of the Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan. And just to prove that the class of '39 had brawn as well as other virtues, they were represented on the football squad by Bud Onion and Dave Bateson. With a clanking of chains and the merry peal of Christmas bells, Dickens' Christmas Carol was presented, and Frannie Maguire upheld the class honor by playing a part in this charming and well known classic. So it was with these high spots that the Freshman class went success- fully through its first year, and one hundred and forty-nine bowed out gracefully to be accepted as worldly Sophomores the next September. Class officers were again elected, and this time they proved to be Jack Flynn, John MacLeod, Barbara Goodrich, and Wanda Geigle. Again the class destined to bring sports glory to Walpole High was well represented on the various sport teams, and Anne Hennessey of the Girls' Hockey Team was successful enough to rate a letter. Other class members who should receive mention are Bud Onion, Red MacLeod, Wardy LaCivita, and jack Timmins, all destined to become our great football stars. This year the Glee Club, for the first time in its history, presented two operettas which were most successful, undoubtedly because Phyllis, Herland, Bud Allen, Louis Lorusso, and Dick Heileman received principal parts, and in all respects upheld their end .of the bargain admirably. l54l
