Tin: Sknior Vi ah Book — 1949 of holding hands in the corridors to fond memory. 25. I, Bunny Panciera, leave my piano concerts during gym classes to Jackie Carlesi. 26. I, Lois Grinnell, leave my worries as head cheerleader to any of the Juniors who like headaches. We, the Senior Class of 1949, leave our knowledge we have acquired by hard work to those classes following us so that they will not be required to study as extensively, and as intensively us we have. The Class of 1949 wishes to extend to the faculty its deepest appreciation for the aid it has received during the three years at Westerly High School. Upon future classes, we bestow our sincere hope that they will enjoy and appreciate their high school years as much as we have. We hereby appoint Mr. John Fallon, known and liked by everyone, as executor of our precious will. FRANCES CARLESI ANN RITACCO ANGELO SANQUEDOLCE Rhode Island Honor Society Front row: Anna Ritacco.

Thk Senior Year Book — 1949 establishment managed by no other than Dot Reilly and Catherine Ferreira. Inga Anderson is the manicurist, while Millie Babcock does the advertising art. Oh, my goodness! It's getting late. Time for the Masquerade Ball. Taking a taxi to the Casino at Atlantic Beach, we enter the ballroom. Sweet music greets us, which, we later learn, was produced by Lou Mor-rone and his Sweet Six. Lou certainly has a wonderful orchestra. Eleanor Roberts checks our hats as we enter, and a pretty miss whom we don’t recognize escorts us to our table. Just as Maestro Morrone is to announce the Carnival Queen, there is that old familiar bark and “Driver” walks into the spotlight. By the loud applause, we realize that there must be a number of people from the Class of '49 in the audience. Driver looks the same as ever, hasn’t lost a pound. Lou doesn’t let a little incident like that bother him, but he goes right on to introduce Marilyn Panciera as the Queen. “Bunny” was Queen of the Prom when we were juniors and she’s just as cute as ever. With the crowning of the Queen, and the wonderful news we have learned, we certainly feel that our return to Westerly was a most wonderful experience for us. It has brought back many memories and we hope will help others to see just how much fun we had in high school and what loyal friendships we made. We shall return in another twenty years. Yes, this Class of ’49 is really a wonderful one.
