C aaa Jhdforg CHAPTER ONE September 5, 1951, was almost as important as june 10, 1955. It was on this date that a group of twelve and thirteen-year-old students entered their first year of high school. VVe all remember our first homeroom teacher. Mr. Pagos did much to help us in those first ten months of our high school days. During the year our class president, Sally Weber, presided at our class meetings. At one of these meetings we voted to have a Parents' Nite . This night proved to be a big success with both the students and their parents. It was during this night that some of the freshmen got their first tryout as amateur actors in a courtroom scene which was to prove helpful in their junior and senior year. Also adding to the merry-making of the eve- ning were a trio of boys, namely a Mr. Schwalbe, a Mr. Nightingale, and a Mr. Farrar, who dressed up in feminine garments and sang On the Dummy Linen. CHAPTER TXVO In our sophomore year the entire school mourned over the retirement of our beloved science teacher, Pop Ewing. However, Mr. Swett could not acclaim all the credit of being the only baldheaded member of the faculty because a new teacher by the name of Mr. Hayes took Popis place. Many members of our class were in Mr. Hayesis biology and plane geometry classes. Mickie Roche was elected as our class president. During the year we held three dances and had several food sales. In March the First Annual Prize Speaking Contest was held. One of our classmates, Shirley Prue, took first prize away. Mrs. Parise, our class adviser, had quite a lot of trouble trying to keep us quiet and for some strange reason bestowed upon us the title of being the dnoisiest classi' in all her years of teaching. Do you suppose that's the reason why she was to leave us in another year? CHAPTER THREE Our junior year was much more quiet than our sophomore year. Miss Roche must have been ve successful in her position as sophomore class president because she was chosen by the Kiss to be president for another year. Our school is noted for its science teachers. Mr. Hayes resigned as the second baldheaded member of our faculty and Mr. Petit took his place. In our senior year we were to have two more science teachers, namely Mr. Pierce and Mr. Cleekman. At the beginning of the year Mr. Pagos also left us and Mr. Toner was our new coach. In the fall we held our first class play entitled Meet Corlis Archer . During the year we held two successful dances and in the spring we held our junior Prom . Two boys were chosen from the class to go to Boys' State but unfortunately the reservations were not sent in early enough and the boys did not go. However, Shirley Prue did go to Girls' State and had a grand time there. CHAPTER FOUR At last came our senior year! This was the final step in our four years. NVe started the year off by holding the first dance. A month after that we held our second class play, entitled A Case of Springtime . All who attended will remember scenes such as Philip Picard's putting on the hat with an egg in it, Carmen Fiumarais singing There YVill Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonightv, and Shirley Prue's sitting on a pincushion in the chair. In the fall our school was most honored indeed to be a part of the U. N. Fair in XVrentham. As part of an English assignment we were asked to write essays on the U. N. Sally VVeber's essay won first prize and she spent three days in New York with the other winners. Philip Wood wrote a vivid description of the entire U. N. program in XVrentham and his article was printed in the Massachusetts Teacher magazine. The senior class has certainly done its part in helping in the Athletic Association and the Student Council. Carl Schwalbe is president of the Athletic Association and Philip XVood, David Cox. Nfickie Roche. and Carol Harmon are officers of the Student Council. Our class has also taken part in the basketball spirit of the school. Barrie Farrar is captain of the Boys, Varsity Team, Carmen Fiumara and Philip VVood are managers of the two varsities, and Mickie Roche is the head-cheerleader. During the year our class put on two Saturday night suppers. In March the Third Annual Prize Speak- ing Contesti' was held. Seniors participating in the contest were Shirley Prue, Philip NVood, and David Cox. In the spring we held a record hop with Ernie Anderson as disk jockey. Everyone enjoyed himself at the dance even if Ernie showed up an hour late and the seniors went twenty dollars in the hole. Jacqueline XVare was chosen to represent us at the Daughters of American Revolution convention, and Philip XVood was chosen as good government rep- resentative at the State House. Karen Fahlgren and David Cox were chosen as exchange students and were the guests of Quincy High School. In February we started to put together our year-book. It is interesting to note that the Senior Class of '55 received more advertise- ments than any previous class. During the April vacation we spent five glorious days doing the town in New York. The pleasant memories of our grand days in good. old NVrentham High School were in the minds of all as we stepped forward to receive our diplomas on that warm June night. I would even dare say that there was a tear of ioy in Mrs. Capronis eye as she received the satisfaction of completing another class through their high school days. June 10, 1966 cc 7 is
