Oiljr Awake occasion, it was soon decided that this was one of the most successful events of the year. Later our honorable director and his cast arranged a bowling social. There were few strikes and spares but everyone really had a good time. Our cast had become very busy with studies and had not had much time to have fun together. The committee decided to remedy this by having a hot dog roast. A mellow mixture of hot dogs, games and mosquitoes all lent to the pioneer spirit of the cast. Our last but very important function as Juniors was to assist the Seniors in sponsoring the Prom. It may have been a lot of work to decorate the hall but we all agreed that the effect of the pastel colors and the arbor was very nice. Freddie Dredice provided music for the many dancers. Act IV As the final curtain opens, we find ourselves Seniors and on top of the high school ladder. Since Larry had done so well directing us in the previous year we decided to have him lead us in our all important last year of high school. Emily Metcalf was elected his assistant, David Faber kept the books and William Starchak was put in charge of the mounting treasury. Only two changes were made in the management this year. Mr. Tobias came to replace Mr. Windoes and Miss Locicero came to lead the new commercial department. To start proceedings for Graduation, the class called on Dan Marens in Watertown. When pictures were taken did we return to school for the afternoon session? Nol Aunt Susie, who lived in Waterbury, was very sick and we had to visit her. To start the fun for this year we gave a Christmas Social. Admission was determined by the neck size multiplied by the height of the ear. '7 your ear is not too tail. And your Adam's apple small, It won't cost you much at all. Many games were played anil the school phonograph supplied music for dancing. The surprise package, a box of candy, was won by a music walk. A ham supper was held to pad the treasury. Miss West and the Homemaking girls did a wonderful job with the cooking. The rest of the girls in the class were waitresses. After the supper, the boys did the dishes! Miss West and the class received many compliments. The annual Junior-Senior Prom was the cause of much excitement. The hall was very pleasingly decorated in pastels. Everyone agreed that Wes Billings played exceptionally well. As the last act drew to a close we found ourselves dashing around to complete the yearbook on time, going to baseball games, cramming for final extras, and attending the Class Night program and Baccalaureate Service. The grand climax to this entire production came when we stepped up to receive what we had been waiting so long to have-—our signed (we hoped) diplomas. Then, as we marched out of the auditorium, we became history. Linda Mitchell. iiiimiim■ mu inn ii 19511
