Then, once again, more climbers joined our ever-increasing group. They were Winifred del Greco, Sandra Shaw, Ann Gates, Rita Gilchrist, Mildred Hanlon, John Pernokas, and Peter Hennessy. Toward the end of this trail, we gave the beautiful Sjjring-time Swing, with music by our own Gerry Colbmn and his Firehouse Five-Minus-One. The music was heavenly and ushered Spring with all her loveliness into our hearts. At the same time, she brought with her a touch of sadness; for we now realized we had passed the halfway point in our ascent toward the sunmrit. In September, 1953, we ventured into our jimior year, the last half of our journey up the trail. Our leaders were the same as in previous years: Artie Mace, ])resident; Dave Lowry, vice president; Carol Richenburg, secretary; and Gerry Colburn, treasurer. Our guides up the trail that year were Mrs. Smith, Mr. Clohesy and Mr. Davis. Our most important task as juniors was the production of the most wonderful dance of our high-school years, the Jvmior-Senior Prom. After much lengthy dis- cussion we chose Paris as our theme and named the dance An Evening in Paris. We chose Gerry ColI)urn as our prom-committee chairman, and we began planning elaborately for decorations. Everyone of us will remember our Tour Eiffel and the problems it presented. Although we liegan to feel it would never be com-- pleted on time, everyone agreed it was most beautifid and spectacidar. Our football dance was another success and who could forget oin- minstrel show — the eggs and all! In June of that year we decided to venture to Old Silver Beach in Falmouth. In spite of the inclement weather we all had an enjoyable time. All in all, our junior climb was a most happy and pleasant one. On September 8, 195-1, we started climbing the last trail with Artie, Dave. Carol, and Gerry. At last we had reached the senior trail; however, we didn ' t fully realize it until our advisors, Mrs. Healy and Mr. Marshall, started to discuss class pictures, yearbooks, and such things pertaining to oixr last journey upward. The evenings of October 17 and 18 were chosen as Sponsor Nights, and we canvassed both Islington and Westwood collecting money for otir yearbook. The results were most gratifying, and we thank everyone who contributed, thus making our beautifid yearbook possible. Our class was well represented in the Wolverines, and we were all tre- mendously excited when we won the Thanksgiving game with Medfield, who, until that time, had been imdefeated. For years to come we shall remember our victory parade with the sirens of the fire engines announcing our victory along the route home. During the remainder of our final year at Westwood High, we were occupied with assemblies, the senior play, The Happiest Days of Your Life, and as a climax to a terrific year, the memorable prom which the juniors presented. We were then confronted with so many things pertaining to our graduation that we were forced to realize that at last we were nearing the end of our trail. Now we have reached the end of our journey with triumph and a sense of accomplishment. We extend a humble thanks to our teachers, advisors, classmates, and everyone who has helped to make our four-year climb a successful one. Once again we must start at the bottom of another mountain trail. From here the Class of 1955 shall take various paths, each climbing to meet his own personal goal on the trail of life in the future. Valerie Miller, Barbara Wilkie.
