THE OLYMPIAN 39 fs-ClQL.l?.lSS'll'lffDTESef SENIOR CLASS NOTES Freshmen, and green as they make them, were we, the class of I938, as we entered Biddeford High School that memorable September day in l934. Awed, meek, and respectful, we took up our work and began the struggles or blessings of High School life. Football, the Freshman Reception, boys' and girls' basketball, the Mikado, the Ath- letic Association fair, all came in bewil- dering successioin and all found the Freshmen with their shoulders to the wheel. We were as active a class-as has ever entered the high school. So one year passed swiftly. ln the year that followed, class offi- cers were elected: Robert Welch, President, Harold Bean, Vice Presi- dent: Deborah Hopkins, Secretary and Treasurer. The Washington Club was organized and Richard Bonser was chosen President, Charles Pierce, Vice Presidentg Gertrude Tibbetts, Secretary and Treasurer. The usual sports activi- ties were followed by social events. Hard work furnished relaxation from the enjoyment that we had. Another year had passed! Juniors! Upperclassmenl Freshmen welcomersl We took over the situation whole-heartedly. The class of '40 will long remember our welcome. Athlet- ically, the boys dominated the varsity teams, while the girls won the interclass basketball series. Socially, a successful play ancl dance were among our major productions. Scholastically, everyone was plugging, for we visioned our Sen- ior year as a bright, shining goal beck- oning to us to hurry . Another year had passed! Finally ,on September 13, I93 7, our class entered the high school as Sen- iorsl One year more in which to make up for past bad performances or con- tinue good onesl One year more in which to prove ourselves good Bidde- ford High students. A class election resulted in the re- election of President, Bob Welch: Vice President, Harold Bean: Secretary- Treasurer, Deborah Hopkins. ln sports, the Seniors predominated on both the football and basketball teams. A Sen- ior Play proved very successful. The Senior Dance, a Poverty Party again proved the Seniors' ability to sponsor an enjoyable affair. The Senior girls won the interclass basketball series and earned their letters. After this year of active life, we find our high school ca- reers drawing to an end. We leave you, underclassmen, a school better, we hope, for our having been here. May each lower class strive to carry on the traditions of our beloved high school as we have tried so hard to do.
