V J J J J I J J THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 19 On October 11, the senior class elected their representatives for the Athletic Asso¬ ciation. Competition was keen but four were finally selected. Eugene Africano, Patricia Logan, Lester O Leary, and Donald Oliva were the winners. When Election Day came, fortune smiled on the senior class, because of the vim and vigor of the Election Day food Committee. Members of this committee were Alice Marconi, Chairman; Janet Ciuiewicz, Josephine Glemboski, Joan O’Leary, Dorothy Quagliaroli, George Quagliaroli, Roberta Racconc, and William Stone. This venture netted a profit of $50 for the class treasury. One of the most prominent events of senior life came to a close when the Magazine Sale ended. Thirty tired but happy seniors listened as Mr. Davis, the Curtis Publishing Company representative, congratulated them on their success. The total sales amounted to $2,642.15, while the profit earned by the class was $908.85. The losing team presented a skit about a handsome, but poor Spanish bullfighter, who loved a wealthy Spanish damsel. The only question left in the minds of the awed audience, was whether the matador (Eugene Africano) was fighting the bull or throwing it. This skit will undoubtedly go down in history as the only bull people won ' t judge by its cover.” Refreshments and dancing followed the presentation of awards. The sandwich sale committee under the supervision of their chairman, Margaret Sturino, reports a profit of $51.49. Others who helped make this committee a success are Rita Cousineau, Virginia Fournier, Josephine Glemboski, Joan O’Leary, George Quagliaroli, Alberta Reeves, Nancy Rivers, Carol Staiger, and Janice Sullivan. The entire class wishes to thank all those who helped make these sales so successful. Our dreams of graduation were becoming visible when we elected Nancy Johnson, Patricia Logan, and Margaret Sturino to serve on our Budget Committee. It is the responsibility of this committee to estimate our annual expenditures. Another important senior meeting was called to suggest and select our class flowers as well as our class colors. Blue and silver were chosen as the class colors, while a spring spray was selected as our class flowers. Senior members chosen for the Advertising Committee for the Senior Play program agreed it was a difficult task to obtain advertisements for the program, but their combined efforts were well rewarded. Members of this committee were—Janet Ciuiewicz, Rita Cousineau, Anna Danyluk, Alice Marconi, and Dorothy Quagliaroli. One of the last official duties of the class of 52 as a voting body took place when we elected our Motto Committee. The class let George Quagliaroli, Roberta Raccone, William Stone, and Janice Sullivan decide upon the motto for our class. Although March 15, might have been responsible for many tears of sorrow, no tears were shed by the Seniors when the Town Food Sale receipts totalled $95.74. We sincerely wish to thank all those who helped make this event so successful. CNI Page

Robert Minch Vice-President .James Pesci Secretary .Judith Morin Treasurer ...Joan Therrien The first meeting of the Sophomore Class was held for the purpose of selecting class officers. After these were chosen, the class elected Miriam Warner and Charles Cutler to represent the class in the Athletic Association. The following meeting was brought to a close after deciding upon 50 cents a month for class dues. Actually 75 cents per month had to be paid because of un¬ paid dues. Our third meeting was held for the purpose of electing a class editor for the Herald . Grace Croshaw was chosen. The last meeting to date was held because of a question brought up by the treasurer. The majority of the class had been neglecting their dues as it seemed and there was a question as to the amount to be paid. Our sophomore year now comes to a close. We wish the seniors the best of luck in their new lives and hope the future sophomores will make their second year as successful as ours has been. Grace Croshaw ' 54 President . Vice-President Secretary . Treasurer . . ERESHMAN CLASS NEWS .Edward Young .Arthur Christian . Patricia Silk .Doris Lanati At the first meeting of the freshman class the officers were elected. The second meeting was held to determine the rate for class dues. It was decided that the dues should be twenty-five cents a week. Also at the meeting Ann Raccone was elected as Class Editor for the Herald and Robert Calsetta as the A. A. Representative. Another meeting was held later to lower the dues. Again the vote was taken and it was concluded that forty cents a month would be accepted by the majority. Because an A. A. Representative left school, another was elected. Thomas Courtney won by a majority vote. We hope that the next year will bring all the freshmen back as sophomores. Ann Raccone ' 5 CO CNI Page
