In March we first realized our social obliga- tions as students at Waltham High. The Soph- omore Dance came along with the Big Apple as a feature, causing the young ladies to look in the mirror and the boys to straighten their ties. seek confidence to ask the girl of their choice to accompany them, and to ask Dad for an advance on next week's allowance. When the evening was over, everyone felt that he was far from being a silly sophomore, as our obliging upper class- men had labelled each of us. In june we saw our first graduation, discover- ing that we were not the only ones who loved Waltham High and that we were almost juniors. -What did you say? Sophomores? What are those things? june to September. Ahl Bliss! Spare time, rest, and no homework. Thank the Lord for vacations! In September, 1958, two things of note hap- pened to Waltham: the hurricane and the entrance of the distinguished members of the Class of 19-IO into our institution of learning as juniors! Soon, when our unused brain-cells had been put into action again, we chose those who were to control our destinies for the coming year. Again Dick Johnstone was chosen President, Bertille Lockman, Vice-President, Marion Wagner, Sec- retary-Treasurer, and Sumner Hammond, Auditor. Led by Phil Caminiti, the football team of 1938 turned in a surprisingly successful record, yielding only to Medford and Lynn English and climaxing the season with a 7-7 tie with Brock- ton. The late period touchdown had all standing up and cheering. We left Brockton with a dis- tinct feeling of satisfaction considering the game a moral victory for Waltham. We were not, however, as successful in hockey as we had been in football. The duo of Schmaltz and Hedges proved deadly in the Needham game,

..-.-..- -1----------1--HCLASS OF 1940---1 ---. 1--.--.--.--. Clary History History might be defined as a backward look at past experiences. If it were possible to turn back the pages of time instead of only looking back- ward, any member of the class of 1940 could find innumerable experiences which he would gladly relive, packed in the three short years of his high- school life. Let us turn back the years to the day in Sep- tember, 1937, when 455 members of our class entered Waltham High School for the first day of a three-year stay. Standing upon the threshold of a new era in our lives, we looked ahead with vague misgivings as to whether our so-called superiors would haze us, and whether the teachers were as relentless and the work as hard as our predecessors had ominously warned us. A few weeks were spent reviewing forgotten work, memorizing the complex arrangement of rooms, and determining which 'recesses should be taken. When we were completely organized, we chose a nominating committee and elected our officers. In a close contest, Richard Johnstone won the Presidency, Bertillie Lochman was chosen Vice-President, Elizabeth Quigley, Secretary-Treas- urer, and Sumner Hammond, Auditor. Thus sup- plied with officers we became a unit to be known to all persons thereafter as the Class of 1940. The first football team to which we officially lent our support left much to be desired. It left a 26-6 loss at the hands of Newton to be avenged, and also convinced us that while Caesar had his Ides of March, Waltham High always has its last Thursday in November. In early December we witnessed our first Dra- matic Club Play - Growing Pains , heartily enjoying the short interval while Robert Clemence was minus his trousers. With Christmas vacation over we concentrated our attention on basketball and hockey. In both these sports the boys from Waltham High made CLASS DAY SPEAKERS Leff lo right, Edwin Briggs, Claris Hi.v101'y.'

By this time having learned that All Gaul is divided into three parts, our Latin divisions cheerfully told us that our motto, Labor omnia vincit , means Work conquers all . After two quarters at Senior High School we had discovered
