18 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD A Driver’s Training Course, under the direction of Mr. Ernest Weeks, was pro¬ vided for students of sixteen years of age or over. Thirty-two students took the course. Twenty-one of these students passed the written examination. Fifteen out of seven¬ teen students passed the road test. A dual control car was provided for this course by Jack Quagliaroli. Because classes had to be held in the gymnasium for part of the year, not very many assemblies were held this year. Recently two very interesting motion pictures were shown. After reading the list of school activities, you can see that the school year has been a busy one.

A magazine campaign was conducted by the Seniors through the Curtis Publish¬ ing Company. Two teams were organized, the Red and the Blue. The Blue team came out victorious. The Seniors of ’50 brought in more subscriptions than any other class since the beginning of the campaign. The losing team, the Reds, entertained the win¬ ning team, the faculty, and the Juniors, at a most enjoyable party. Anna Glemboski and Dorothy Wenzel, highest salesmen, were presented with watches. Loring Studio was engaged this year to take the class pictures. Maroon and white were chosen for the caps and gowns. On October 3, the Senior Class decided to sell refreshments during the voting hours, and a profitable showing was made. Two food sales were held in the Town Clerk ' s Office, on February 4 and March 18 respectively. Generous contributions from the people made these sales successful. On April 14, the Senior Class held their annual play which this year was, We Shook the Family Tree, a three act comedy. It was enjoyed by everyone and was a financial success. In May, the class spent four wonderful days in Washington on their class trip, and all had a fine time. (WsSe d

THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 17 Before they knew it, however, the green frosh had turned to silly sophs and had begun their second year in high school. The boys became better ball players, and the girls began to look more sophisticated like their perfect senior sisters. from silly sophs , they turned to jolly juniors and became active committee members for their Prom. Then overnight it happened—they were the perfect seniors, the star basketball players, and the prettiest girls, whose pet activities were signing the year book, and starring in the class play. The Washington trip scon followed, and with Class Night and Graduation, their high school years ended. Soon after these festivities, the thought came—Were they cur best years? Perhaps the graduates will agree that those years in high school were some of life ' s best years. I sincerely hope they were, and with the hope goes the wish for many more happy and successful years to the Class of 1950.
