Ware High School - Limelight Yearbook (Ware, MA)

Two years have passed since the closing of High Street School, and again a critical situation has arisen. Present conditions have necessitated the closing of South Street School, a circumstance which forced upon the high school the task of again finding a place for the ousted grades. The only solution to the problem was double sessions. So, at present, high school students attend school from 7:30 a.m. until 12:15 p.m., and the elementary grades are in attendance from 12:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Such is the story of Ware High School from 1893 to the present date. To quote from the 1950 Nenameseck: Ware High School has served well. lt stands today, in appearance, at least, unchanged, a maiestic landmark, over- looking Grenville Park, and the Silvery Nenameseck where the restless ghost of Grey Eagle is said to roam.

WARE HIGH SCHOOL When school reopened after the week's vacation, each pupil had a desk, books, and writing materials. Classes were held in the library, the gymnasium, and in tour rooms at South Street School. This schedule was continued until June. In September the rebuilt school opened its doors six months after the disaster. In T948 the Ware High Latin Club obtained membership in the Junior Classical League, the national organization of high school Latin Clubs. In that year also the Nenameseck became a member of the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association. In T949 Quill and Scroll, the international honorary society for high school journalists, granted a charter to our school. Two branches have been organized here. The honorary group, recent graduates of the school who have distinguished themselves in the Held of journalism, consists at present of three members, Ramona Sawyer Barth, Paul Neville, and John Brunelle. The active society is made up of six seniors: Eleanor Beaudin, Helen Boerner, Betty Oberg, Claire St. Onge, Matthew Sak, Florence Wheeler, and three iuniors: Jeanne Hetu, Kirk Mattson, and Mary Lou Otis. In 1949 the closing ot High Street School by state authorities brought upon the high school the burden of accomodating first, second, and seventh grades. So the assembly hall was divided into classrooms, the chemistry-physics class- room was taken over by iunior high grades, the laboratory, the sewing room, and a basement room were used for senior high school classrooms. At the same time, tire doors were installed throughout the buildings.
