SENIOR CLASS HISTORY This year's sTrong, rugged senior class aT Wilbraham can be Traced as Tar down The line as The sevenTh grade. RoberT Bob EaTon, Frederick LeTTy Jack, Jon Shakey Shakour, Donald Uncle Don Roy, and David Dave I-linTze were The basis oT The presenT senior class. These Tive boys were The only Tive scholars To endure The whole six years OT Wilbraham liTe. The eighTh grade yielded only one new member aT Wilbraham, in The Torm OT William Bill STacy. ln The closing monThs oT This year, we came To The realizaTion ThaT nexT year we were To enTer high school. As The Tall oT '48 approached, so did our Treshman year, and our repulsive black bow Ties. This year eleven boys ioined The ranks oT The Treshman class aT Wilbraham. They were NaThaniel NaT Bond, Philip Phil Erlenbach, George The Reverandm Eallon, DwighT Gambo Gammons, Laurence 'Larry Lynch, William Bill McATee, WalTer WaIT Morrissey, David Olie Olsen, STephen STeve Sack, Edward Ted SchwerdTle, and Allen Al Wiegand. AT The beginning oT our Treshman year, we came To The imporTanT decision oT se-lecTing our class advisor. We knew ThaT we had To pick a man To whom we could always look Tor guidance. This iob Tell upon The shoulders oT Mr. Philip EosTer. Six more boys helped us usher in our sophomore year. They were Richard Dick Brigham, James Jim Davies, Andrew Andy DragaT, Leonard Sydney, Joseph Joe Kochanowicz, and Warren Willie Williams. As The Junior year came upon us, The ToremosT ThoughT in The mind oT every member oT The class oT I952 was The delivering oT our Junior DecIamaTions. This was an ordeal Tor some buT an experience Tor oThers, The laTTer being in The minoriTy. During The spring Term oT ThaT year, we had The cusTomary brawl wiTh The seniors over The righT To cross The Rubicon by way of The Senior Bridge, IT ended wiTh weT cloThes Tor quiTe a Tew, buT our class seemed To be The loser. SeTh Akin, Thomas Tom Chase, Raymond Ray Walke, Richard Dick vonl-Ioorn, David Tiny NirensTein, Joseph Joe BoTTaro, STephen STeve Tyler, Leslie Les Reynolds, James Lawrie I-Iibbard, Richard Dick Merry, and Leonard Lenny Meyers were added To our rosTer in our iunior year. As we leTT Tor our sum- mer vacaTion in l95I, we knew ThaT we had only one more year To challenge us, and ThaT Then we would be aT The end oT our prep school days. For The TirsT Time, Tor as long as l can remember, The iunior class had an ouTing. This spree Took place on Mon- day, June 5Th, Tollowing graduaTion, aT Jon Shakour's boaThouse on The ouTskirTs oT WorcesTer. We wenT swimming and Tishing in The lake, and Then To The wondermenT OT all, Mad Manl' Sack came skirTing around The lake wiTh a renTed rnoTor boaT. Al Wiegand also provided us wiTh some rides on his moTorcycIe. In The end a good Time was had by every member oT The class who aTTended The ouTing. AT The coming oT our senior year, we could now cross The senior bridge legally. By This Time, The IiTTle band oT advenTurers, ThaT sTarTed in The sevenTh grade aT Tive sTrong, has grown To a class oT TiTTy-Tive. During The TirsT Two Terms oT This year, we came To The elecTion oT our class oTTicers. ATTer The smoke had liTTed, The Tollowing men were seIecTed as The Tinal leaders oT The Class oT I952: Tom Chase Took The responsibiliTy oT The class as presidenT. The vice-presidency wenT To Jim Davies. Fred Jack Took up The moneTary duTies oT The class Treasurer.
