To my we held no regualr classes. That was because the periods were only twenty minutes long. You're probably right, but anyway at ten o'clock we were free for two whole weeks. Then, at last, back for our last year at W. H. S. Yes, we were Seniors--the status we had lone dreamed of. But, surprisingly enough we felt no different. Early in the year we chose Norm President, and Bernie Powers, asain: but we had a new Vice-president Kenneally Treasurer and Secretary --Norma Coughlin andJoanne Brooks. We had our Senior Dance--Davy Jones's Locker--we made 385.52 which was really a record. We'll all agree that football this year was one of the best. Maybe we didn't win too many zames, but the spirit was really wonderful. Remember our rally this year, and how we nearly brought the roof down? And to ton it all off there was the rally up-town which was surely one to remember! No wonder we Wbeat Abingtonln Our class play was certainly a different one: eight of our classmates even became redheads for the occasion. who will ever forget Anne Close's and Richard Kellaway's michievous dozen in their portrayal of the famous Gilbreth '7 family. Not long afterwards came the fontball banouet for all the players. At that banouet we really had some wonderful speakers. Yes and you know all the important events won't be forgotten so easily by anyone. with the newly started school paper we have all taken a keener interest in everythinz. And studies have seemed more interesting Don: Claire: Don: Claire: Don: Claire Don: Claire: Don: Claire Don: Claire: too. We've had so many educational movies in English. They really added to our classes. Remember the Macbeth one? Yes, but I think the class made up of all boys put on a better dramatization of Macbeth than the movie. Dick Derosier in the role of Lady Macbeth is one to rem- ember. We had another very welcome addition to our school this year--Mr. Howland, our guidance director. we of 'Sl have certainly had more than better help than any other group. You know, Don, room 208 is one we'll not foreet. I'll never forget those smells we used to concoct. The Chlorine gas was so sufficatiny we nearly drained the am- monia bottle dry to keep from being over- COUIC. Oh come on, it couldn't have been that bad.

An explosion that spattered a brown liquid over everything and every- one. In no time at all spring come and we ap- propriately used this as a theme of our Senior Dance--Spring Festival. It was a wonderful dance, especially for our class secretary, Joanne Brooks, whose certain- finger on the left hand sparkled with a beautiful diamond. what a busy time this had been for all of us, working feverishly on the yearbook,to assign all the parts. Then the fifteenth of June--graduation--a day that miyht seem to bring everything to an end. Yet we have all heard it is a beginning--a beginninr of anfther chapter on our lives. Our final event was the reception, which everyone of us really enjoyed. we, the class of '51 had made hisrorv. As our members part we look forward to the meeting once again at our reunions. 28
