16 Te EB ROL Vere The following officers were chosen to represent us as seniors: president, Carlton Bolton; vice-president, Ale- thea Tripp; secretary, Arline Wor- dell; treasurer, Ernest Tripp; student councilors, Rosalina Cabral, and Al- fred Martel. Instead of having an individual class ring it was voted to select a standard ring with all four classes participating in the selection. At the same time we received class pins. Active in sports and making up four- fifths of the basketball team this year were Donald Brooder, Edmie Bibeau, Alan Manchester and Charles Costa. Louise Healy represented the senior class as head cheerleader. The Senior Play, “Sneak Date”, was held March 29th. Ernest Tripp and Edmie Bibeau again showed their act- ing ability in their portrayal of the leading roles. Harvey Bolton entered the - Navy, and became the first one of our boys to enlist before graduation. The sale of stationery under the management of Evelyn Christopher brought good results. Marjorie and Lucinda Perry also did well with the sale of Sunshine Notes, Although our Senior year started off in a hectic way we have overcome all our obstacles and emerged vic- torious. We shall go out into the world with a broader outlook on life.

All we did during our freshman year was elect class officers and take abuse from the upper classmen. The officers for the year were presi- dent, Charles Costa; vice president, Alan Manchester; treasurer, Carlton Bolton; secretary, Patricia Mosher ; student council, Ethel Bennett. In our sophomore year we were moved to the rear of study hall where we were united once again. ‘The war curtailed many school activities, and once more we had to be content to elect class officers. Our former president, vice president, and treas- urer, were re-elected; however a new secretary, Gabriella Santos, was elect- ed; Evelyn Christopher and Ernest Tripp were our choice for student council members. By our Junior year, many members of the class had left to participate in war work. Charles Costa still officiat- ed at our class meetings, and his fel- low officers were vice president ; Alan Manchester, secretary; Arline Wor- dell, treasurer; Ernest Tripp, student council; Alethea Tripp and Edmie Bibeau. We held two dances, the Harvest Hop and a Thanksgiving Dance, both of which were very successful. The class play, “Room Trouble”, held in May with Ernest Tripp, Ed- mie Bibeau and Louise Healy as the leading characters, was also a huge success.
