In accordance with an old custom we were initiated into the mysteries of High School by a reception given us by the Sophomore Class. This was held in the Academy Hall and the various stunts we were made to do furnished fun for both classes. Athletics has interested a good num- ber of our class. Those who went out for basketball were Robert Nault, Vaughn Bessey, Robert Cummings, Robert Burns, and Eugene Norton for boys and Evan- geline Manzer, Nancy Fish, Patricia Witham, Priscilla Whiting, Carmen Whitaker and Rose Bessey for girls. Robert Burns had a part in the school play, Galloping Ghosts , Wilma Hart- well and Patricia Witham had parts in the One-Act Play, No Greater Love . We were sorry to lose two of our classmates, Robert Nault who went to Madison and Patricia Hall who left to attend Central High. We were, how- ever, very glad to welcome Doris Viles from Princeton, New Jersey. Page Fifteen

Mary Jacquesg Treasurer, Katherine Ela. , Under the direction of Principal Robert Merrill we have supervised the school play, dancing school, and many other school activities. In November Katherine Ela, Mary Jacques, Violet Price and Carmen Whit- aker were chosen as delegates to attend the State Council Conference in Water- ville. Many schools in the state were represented at the Conference and we feel that the Student Council holds a very important place in the school life. We hope that in the future years the Council will grow even stronger and con- tinue to be an asset to our school. Page Seventeen
