MARLBOROUGH – The Marlborough High School Class of 1952 recently held its 70th Reunion at the Marlborough Country Club. There were 13 members of the class of 117 who graduated in the year that gas was 20 cents a gallon and stamps were 3 cents each.
The students attended in what is today known as the Walker Building on Main Street. With class colors of royal blue and white, graduates cited their class motto, “May Knowledge Increase” at the commencement ceremony held at Kelleher Field.
It was a year when George VI of England died and his daughter became Elizabeth II. Poodle skirts were the rage and one of the ’52 graduates wore one to the Reunion.
THE MARLBOROUGH ROTARY CLUB is making plans for its 40th annual Turkey Shoot.
On Saturday, Nov. 19, 6 p.m., at the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School with their friends and families to enjoy a night full of exciting raffles.
Some of the prizes include: turkeys with all the fixings, small appliances, electronic goods, gift baskets, gift certificates of all kinds as well as hundreds of other prizes, including the door prize – a color TV. Entry is free. Proceeds will go toward scholarships for graduating seniors and to help the Marlborough community through various projects.
Rotary also supports international projects in conjunction with other Rotary clubs including eradicating Polio.

JIMMY O’COIN was a recent Marlborough High School “Employee of the Week.” Jimmy is the ultimate team player. He’s one of the most reliable team members they have. He goes above and beyond every day and he is appreciated on how he and his team take great care of the school. Recently, the MHS cafeteria staff were shorthanded providing the students with lunch on the line so Jimmy jumped in to help out.
