UE fo Auntors As a parting word in preparing to leave you our position as seniors, we wish to offer some advice. We hope that by following it, you will enjoy a happy and prosperous year as the new leaders of the school. We feel that we need not repeat this trite but none the less good advice to use the study hall as a place for study, to respect the faculty and to set a good example for the underclassmen. If you haven't learned to do this by now, it’s a little late to start; but it is better to learn late than never to learn at all. As supporters of school activities you need little encourage- ment, for you have proven yourselves to be the leaders in this respect. You have the qualities which are essential to success. ‘The strongest factor in determining success is your attitude toward your school and its members. We hope that yours will be a sportsmanlike one, characterized by consideration and regard for the other fellow’s viewpoint. May we suggest that you be more tactful in your criticisms? Learn to cooperate and to conduct unified class meetings, which will be more orderly than ours have been. In closing may we wish you happiness and satisfaction in your final year. We hope that you will make the most of it by taking advantage of every opportunity given for self-improvement and for the general welfare of the school. Harvey Cunningham 28

Our junior year found us contributing our share to the social calendar in the form of two dances and a play. The dances ‘““The Harvest Hop” and “Junior Prom” were both successful and well received by the student body. The play, “Spring Fever’ under the direction of Miss Philpot was the financial success of the year which may be attributed to all around class spirit and coopera- tion. Those having leading parts were Dale Meadors, Agnes Waite and Thelma Wood. To represent the Junior Class, we chose as officers: President — Lincoln Tripp Treasurer — Albert Vincent Secretary — Agnes Waite Vice President — Anna Carvalho Members of the Student Council were Lucille Emond and Richard Manchester. Our class outing that year was a trip to Salem to see the “‘House of Seven Gables,” about which we had read in our English class. During the year James Hasson, Loretta Perry, and Alan Cieto left us, but three new members were added in the persons of Natalie Vieira, Harvey Cunningham, and Raymond Sherman. Two new additions to the faculty were witnessed in the arrival of Miss Monti, commercial teacher and Mr. Booth who replaced Miss McGorty and Mr. Holtz, respectively. After our summer vacation, we returned for our last year and we all were, to a man, completely transformed from the miserable freshmen of four years before into “mighty, respected, and envied seniors.” Our class officers for the year were: President — Harvey Cunningham Vice President — Russell Sherman Secretary — Agnes Waite Treasurer — Albert Vincent Representing the class on the Student Council were Lucille Emond, and Anna Carvalho. Representing the school at large were Alice Ponte and Lincoln Tripp. In November, we presented “Granny’s Millions,” a dramatization under the direction of Miss Philpot. Agnes Waite and Lincoln Tripp were the leading actress and actor. We were also the sponsors of three highly successful dances during the year which were the “Holly Hop,” the “Brownie Hop,” and our “Senior Prom” in June which proved to be a fitting climax to the entire school’s social calendar. This year Mr. Booth did not return, and we welcomed Mr. Shaw for Agriculture and Mr. Brightman for science in his stead. Whatever fame or misfortune may befall us in the future, it will never dim the memory of our four glorious years at Westport High School. GRACE LAWTON, RUSSELL SHERMAN AND RAYMOND SHERMAN 27
