Al’s jovial disposition keeps most of us in good spirits throughout the day. She is one of our best students and has been on the “A” honor roll repeatedly. Alice has proven her powers of leadership and was chosen Girls’ State representative from W. H. S. Although she has not decided on her career, we are sure that she will be successful because she is a very determined, ambitious girl. Alice Blossom Rd.

Among our “going Steady” girls, Gerry is looking ahead to the future by preparing some lovely “hope chest’”’ handiwork. “Gerry” Main Rd.

Dale, hailing from Oklahoma, has been unofficially designated as adjourner of class meetings since our freshman year. He is the impetuous member of our class, and a staunch defender of his constitutional rights, for he is often heard arguing the defensive. He proved his acting ability in both our plays. After graduation, Dale plans to head for his home state. Dale Hillcrest IRENE A.

Excelling in sports, Irene was elected captain of the girls’ basketball team. Prompt and punctual, she has not missed one day of school in three years. We note her good record, her enthusiasm and diligence while working on the “Brownie” and the “Villager” staffs. Her work on both is highly commendable. Irene Beeden Rd. Rita G.

Her favorite pastime is playing pranks on people, and she has a special joke book which she will probably put into print someday. 13 Rita Gifford Rd.

One of the most studious members of our class is Dorothy Sekonda. She has participated in nearly all of our school activities including both the junior and senior plays.

SHERMAN “We grant, although he had much wit, he was very shy of using it.” Class Day Speaker 4; Ice Cream 3, 4. Formerly attending New Bedford High, Ray joined our class in his junior year.
