High School Students Take A Look At Weston’s Alumni 1 THOMAS CLARKE Perhaps the alumnus best known to the graduating class is Tom Clarke, who graduated with the class of 1931. As custodian of the high school, Mr. Clarke, affectionately known to all as “Tom,” has played a major part in the story of our class through its four years in high school. In his high school days, Tom distinguished himself in school ath¬ letics, starring on the varsity teams in baseball and ice hockey. Besides excelling in athletics, Tom won numerous speaking competitions and was president of his class for three years. Vhile in Weston, Tom has compiled an impressive record of town service. He has been President of the Alumni Association for two years, and shown that he is an accomplished Thespian by performing in plays produced by the Kiwanis Club, the Alumni Association, and local church groups. He has been publicity chairman for the Boy Scouts, and ha s served on the Property Committee of the Baptist church. Tom Clarke, a very real and dear friend to every member of our class, has truly earned the respect and affection of the school and the community. Thomas Clarke GRANT MERRILL PALMER, JR. An alumnus of the class of 1917, Grant Merrill Palmer graduated in a class of thirteen, at a time when the high school was lodged in the recently renovated Building B.

Standing with some of the machinery used in preparing meals are cooks Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Burke, Mrs. Jacques, and Mrs. Riley. Valuable Services Rendered Are Highly Appreciated. For any organization to function at top efficiency, it must have a competent and skilled group of per¬ sonnel handling its basic mechanics. This is the function filled by the bus drivers, custodians, and kitchen help. Our bus drivers are often not appreciated. The ferrying of thirty to fifty individuals in the age bracket of eight to eighteen is no easy task; yet they do their work cheerfully and inspire the confidence of the parents. During the day, the kitchen helji works arduously to prepare food for almost four hundred hungry pco- Shown with one of the fleet of buses are bus drivers Mr. De- Lorric, Mr. Clronin, Mr. Dolph, Mr. LaCross, Mr. White, and Mrs. McAulifTe. pie. Mrs. Burke’s and Mrs. Riley’s smiling faces hover over the serving spoons, making the day more pleasant. In these days, it is hard indeed to find a good lunch for twenty-five cents. Janitorial help at Weston High School is not only effective, but it is also pleasant and cooperative. Mr. Merrill, Mr. Cain, Mr. McLeod, and Mr. Clarke are always ready to maintain the building and to help students with their individual plights. Weston can easily claim that “The people behind the faculty” are among the best. The upstairs custodian, Mr. MacLeod, and the downstairs custodian, Mr. Clarke, stand in front of the gym door. 14

To See What They Are Doing. Many times alumni from the Class of 1958 return to football and basketball games, reunions, and town functions. Not only for this reason are they of interest, but also because we still remember their activities while we were juniors — their “cowboys and Indians” April Fool’s Day; their “Supreme Senior” slogan; and their individual habits. Thus we present the Class of 1958 and their activities at a year after their graduation. Carol Akers .
