Hi-Y News The Knights of Stone Hi-Y Club, now in its third year, had one of its most prosperous years under the able leadership of Mr. Tony Cirillo. Mr. Cirillo is the driver education instructor at G. H. S. The club was fortunate in having a very able executive staff this year. Our president is Dick Nugent who has been very helpful as our presid- ing officer. Kent Holden is our Vice-President. He is in charge of special committees. The secre- tary is Noel Nugent, who has kept the books for the past two years. The treasury is headed by Bob Carver who has done an excellent job. The chaplain until recently was George Martin who resigned in favor of Addison Hall. The lirst activity of the year was a pre-season Varsity vs. Faculty basketball game. We had a hand in promoting international good will when we invited the Sherbrook Ili-Y club for a week-end visit to Groveton. The highlights of the occasion was a football game at Hanover when we witnessed a strong Dartmouth team crumple Lou Little's tfolumbians. The Sherbrooke club re- turned our invitation and we enjoyed a wonderful week-end at Sherbrooke. The club enjoyed two other football games dur- ing the season. The first was a thrilling contest that saw Dartmouth overhaul a powerful Holy Cross team and win by one point in the final sec- onds ofthe game. The second saw a powerful Navy team defeat Dartmouth in semi-tropical wea- ther by thirty-five points. We donated money to the March of Dimes and to the North Country Y. M. C. A. Our latest attempt to further the knowledge of the g1'0UP was to send three members to the State Youth and Government Program. The three del- egates went to Concord in April and gained valu- able experience by actually running the New Hampshire state government for two davg, The three delegates were Richard Nugent, Noel Nu- gent, and Thomas Platt. The Hi-Y is a wonderful thing and should be promoted further. Student Council . . . OFFICERS President: Philbert Brooks Vice President: Romona Gonyer Secretary: Charles Landry Treasurer: Peter Styles MEMBERS Seniors: Kent Holden and Philbert Brooks Juniors: Bruce Hodge and Romona Gonyer Sophomores: Mona Riendeau and Charles Landry Freshmen: Roland Gibson and Peter Styles 8th Grade: Brenda Israel and Dawn Stevens 7th Grade: Sonya Marges and Lloyd Gaudette We have had a very successful student council this year. The members have cooperated and worked well with one another. These next few things that are listed give you an idea what we bring up at our meetings. Outside Mr. Cascadden's office there is a sug- gestion box. Any student who wishes to have something brought up at our meeting writes out what he wants brought up and drops it in the box. On January 20, we had a skating party. Dawn Stevens took care of the selling of hot dogs and soda. We made out fairly well. We haven't had a boys' chorus in Groveton High for quite some time, so we decided to try to do something about it. Many of the boys joined and now we have a chorus that really sounds great. It's very dangerous at times out in front of the school, especially when the bell rings and every- one is going across the street. Many times a per- son is almost hit by a car. We brought this up and talked it over one day. We came to the conclusion that it would be a good thing to have a red light to slow up the cars more when the bell rang. Kent Holden and Philbert Brooks went to a selectmen's meeting and asked them about this, They were going to see if this could be done and let Mr. Cas- cadden know, but as yet we haven't found out any- thing. The students wanted more assembliesg so we had each class give one on anything they wanted to do. For the best assembly put on we gave a trophy to that class. The freshman class won, and they certainly deserved it. We thought it would be a wonderful thing if everyone in school brought money for a present for Mr. Bergeron, the teacher we've all missed this past year. We were successful in collecting money and we bought him a spinning outfit, something that he really wanted. Mr. Cascadden awarded all the student council members with medals. They are very nice. and we appreciate his giving them to us. By Romona Gonyer STUDENT COUNCIL: lst row-B. Israel, C. Landry, P. Brooks, President: Mr. Cascadden, R. Gonyer, P. Styles, D.

The Junior play, Three Fingers in The Door by Felicia Metcalf, was put on in the high school auditorium March 26, by the Junior class. The play was a three-act mystery-comedy, and it takes place in a gloomy isolated old house, which was once a fine mansion. The whole plot revolves around a Wealthy old man, Mr. Gregory Long, his great niece Sylvia Long, and Miss Sylvia's fiance. As the story continues it gets more involved when men are seen prowling around the old house, and other mysterious things happen all of which add up to a very exciting play. The play was an outstanding success, and it kept the audience on the edge of their seats all through the play. By James Platt Senior Play . . The Senior play, Papa Says No! by Felicia Metcalf, was put on in the high school auditorium November 19, by the Senior class. The play was a three-act farce with the main characters being a Wealthy dictatorial father, his daughter, her fiance and her fiance's old college friend. The play revolves around the girl's romance with a certain young man whom her father doesn't approve of, and when her father tries to send her away from her young man, things really start to happen. The play was an outstanding success, and it kept the audience in stitches all throughout.

The Groveton High School band played several selections. FUN FOR EVERYONE In school most things would sure be dull If we had no sports to till the lull. Studies have no special attraction to us, But in sports all certainly make a fuss. In fall the boys' interest is all in track. Their feet are sore and so is each back, But prizes are given and it holds much fun. And for the school much glory is won. In winter comes the sport best liked by all. Everyone enjoys playing basketball, To watch the boys in hasty speed, Dribbling down the floor, when points they need, And watch the cheerleaders shouting loud. Cheering our team before the crowd. And best of all when the game is done. Everyone's praised for the honor won. In spring, of course, it's a softball game That leaves the girls all stiff and lame. And for the boys, well, baseball is here, And it's also nearly the end of the year And after this the year is done. We've lost some games and also won, But now there's swimming and tennis and stuff That helps the summer pass fast enough. And when the summer has come to an end. Everyone's waiting for school again, Because, well the reason is very clear. Sports are back-stand up and cheer!

Under the direction of Mr, Louis E. Micucci the Groveton High School Band had a very successful year. On November 4, 1954, the members of the band met to organize into a club. The following officers were elected: Assistant conductor, George Marting President, Richard Nugent, Vice President, Jack Lynch, Sec- retary-Reporter, Bethany Potter, Asst. Sec.-Report er, Brenda York, Treasurer, Noel Nugentg Libra- rian, Linwood Carverg Sergeant-at-arms, Reginald Zanes, Asst. Sergt.-at-arms, Robert Nugent. The purpose of organizing into a club was to help the members work more closely together, to give them a voice in the bands affairs, and to have more band projects. In the fall the band received new uniforms. They consisted of white pants, purple capes with gray lining, and purple hats. These uniforms keep the band's spirits up and give them pride when they play in public. The band played for many activities during the past year: P. T. A., the Junior and Senior plays, school assemblies, parades, and several concerts, including beneht concerts for the new uniforms and for the polio drive, and the annual Christmas and Spring Concerts. They also played for the Republican Rally in Lancaster. The biggest thing of the year was when we went to Manchester to play in the huge parade that was a celebration of the N. H. State Teachers Association Centennial. The parade was made up of bands and floats from towns all over the state of New Hampshire. The band consisted of 39 players, who had re- hearsals twice a week. Individual or group lessons were held once or twice a week. Several new instruments were obtained for the band during the year. These included a baritone saxophone, a brass clarinet, and a tuba. These in- struments were the only ones of their kind in the band and they certainly added a lot to the music. Sharon Macloon, George Martin, Anna Sawyer, and Thomas Platt went to Durham, N. H., March 12, to play with the University of New Hampshire Band in the New Music Festival. Four members of the band,'George Martin, Anna Sawyer, Thomas Platt and Dick Nugent, were chosen as members of the All-State Band which gave a 0011091-t in Claremont, N. H., on March 31 and April 1. Philip Nelson was chosen to play his violin in the All- State Orchestra at Claremont. BAND OFFICERS: Left to Right-G. Martin, J. Lynch, D. Nugent, N. Nugent, B. Nugent, L. Carver, R. Zanes, B. Potter. BOYS' CHORUS This year at G. H. S. we got together a long- wanted all-male chorus. It was suggested by the members of the student council that Mr. Cascad- den and Mr. Micucci were greatly pleased to learn of our interest. Shortly after Christmas we got together for the first time. We sang in one assem- bly and thrilled the school with our songs. We sang some old favorites and a few new songs. Some of the favorites were 'tln The Evening By The Moonlight, Look For The Silver Lining, It's A Grand Night For Singing, Danny Boy, Till We Meet Againf' Kent Holden GIRLS' CHORUS The Girls' Chorus, under the leadership of Mr. Louis Micucci, enjoyed a successful season. We put on an assembly with the boys, and it was enjoyed by everyone. Our group consists of girls from the Freshman Class to the Seniors. There are twenty girls en- rolled for this year. We meet every week on Thursday and spend a period singing both old and new hits. We are sure this chorus will continue and be as successful as it was this year. S. Lynch TESTS ! ! Why do we have those awful things called tests? They don't really show what we know because we're all so nervous that we can't remember the right answer until after the tests have been collect- ed. ln algebra we whip-up equations as if they were as easy as eating apple pie. But when Mr. Moulton passes out our tests, we can't even re- member what an equation is, to say nothing of solving it. In biology we study our two hundred six bones, including three different kinds of teeth. Under Mr. Sawyer's tutelage everythings crystal clear, blood is blood and bones are bones. But, comes examination time! Corpuscles confuse with capil- laries and the pelvis prefixes the presterum. In French we learn all the tenses of those verbs, the present, the future, the past, and the imperfect, until we can write them as well as we can say Jack Robinson . But, there's a catch! Miss Corey decides she had better test our knowledge on themg so she gives us a test. What happens? We can't remember if nous avons mange or if nous nous coucherons heir. Need I go further and tell of things you already know so well? It's the same with all of us, from the seventh grader to the seniors: when we know that we are just learning and that good results are not expected of us, we do quite well. However, when test time rolls around, our minds stop functioning and in our desperation we write our name, not quite sure that even that is spelled cor- rectly. Shirley Fowlie Boys, Chorus . . .

The new rule for the socials was that they were to be divided off into two parts. The seventh and eighth grades were not allowed to go to the senior high and the ninth through twelfth grades were not allowed to go to the junior high socia s. The following articles were written by a pupil of each class on their socials. The Senior Social was held on October 29, 1954. For music we had Phil Nelson and his orchestra. We had a very good attendance and everyone en- joyed it. The Juniors gave a dungaree social on Octo- ber 22, 1954. Music was furnished by Phil Nel- son's Orchestra. Round and square dancing was enjoyed by all. Freshman Reception was held on September 24g the Sophomores gave the reception in the gym for the new Freshmen who had been initiated that afternoon. There was dancing from eight through ten o'clock with music by records. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. On November fifth the Freshman Class held a very successful senior high social. Phil Nelson and his orchestra, which is made up of several pupils from the senior class, furnished the music. The Groveton Hi-Y was entertaining a number of boys from Sherbrooke that week-end, and these boys attended the social. The money we received was used to help pay for the Freshman Class ban- ner. The eighth grade held their social on Friday, November 12, 1954. There was a big turnout, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The school's new sound system and records were used. The pro- gram for the evening included waltzes, jitterbug, a grand march and sevenin-seven out. Larry Landry was invited and called square dances and sang some songs for us. Refreshments of punch and doughnuts were served, and the social ended at 9:15. The seventh grade social was held on December 3, 1954. There were about fifty present including Mr. Clemence and Miss Corey, who were chap- erones. Dances included waltzes, foxtrots, grand march, seven in-seven out, and square dances. Barbara Hall sang two songs. Refreshments were served to all. SCHOOL DAYS I've often thought and often dreamed, But I never thought I would, Yet here I am in Groveton High, The place I've longed to be. But when I'm out I think I could Have studied more and tried For all those gay and happy times I've had in Groveton High. Gloria Findley YEAR BOOK MADNESS For the first time in many years the old name of Seniorian was changed to the Groveton Eagle. This was the first year that this year's seniors have worked together at any one cause. We all met at Tom Platt's house to lay out the plans and type up all the material. The place was the nearest thing to a newspaper oflice that we will ever come. All you could hear was the rattle of typewriters and the hum of busy voices. After much work the yearbook nears completion, and we can all take a deep breath. Much thanks for our yearbook this year must go to Mr. Platt for his patience with us while meeting in Tom's rumpus room. Donald Arsenault TRIBUTE TO THE TEACHERS OF G.H.S.

May 28, 1954 Groveton went to Lancaster with the intentions of beating. The game was very well played and the final score was Groveton 4, Lancaster 3. McBride played a wonderful game as did Fitch of Lancaster. June 1, 1954 in the last game of the season the Stratford boys outslugged Groveton to the score of 12 to 11. Groveton ended with a 6 and 2 record. They were unable to play in the state tournament since they didn't have enough games in their own league. Much credit for a successful season goes to Mr. Smith who worked hard with all the boys. SENIOR ATHLETES: kneeling'-S. Lynch, S. Macloong standing-D. McAllister, G. Martin, P. Brooks.

I, 1954-Canaan at Groveton This was the first home game of the season. and it offered the home town fans their first look at the team.

The bench was emptied. and all had a chance to play. Dec. 3, 1954-Groveton at Gorham The Gorham game proved to be a very poorly handled affair in whick both teams were hamper- ed greatly.

Jan. 13, 1955-Lancaster at Groveton In the long awaited game of the season, the gym was filled with fans from both Groveton and Lan- caster. There was a roar from the crowd when the Purple Powerhouse stepped out on the court. This was the big game of the season. Both teams were at their best. A close score held all the way through the first quarter, with Lan- caster managing to gain a lead of one point. Through some great teamwork and terrific shots, the squad worked their way up to an eleven-point lead at the close of the second quarter. Would they be able to maintain this lead against Lancas- ter's keen opposition? In the third quarter, Lancaster fought to catch up. Through some great passwork they were able to reduce Groveton's lead, but could not hold them back. Groveton still kept a lead of three points. The crowd was tense and excited at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Purple Powerhouse was fighting hard every minute of it. Lancaster just couldn't stop them as they made basket after basket. The final score was 60 to 43 in Groveton's favor. Phil Brooks was high scorer for Groveton. Good going, boys I ! Jan. 18, 1955-Colebrook at Groveton In the first quarter of the game, Groveton gained a lead of five points. During the second quarter it was nip and tuck all the way.

The boys really worked hard in the fourth quarter. They made basket after basket and Colebrook could not hold them back. The sound of the buzzer saw Groveton as the victors.

The fans from town were now realizing that a good team was in the making, and many traveled to Berlin for this game. Groveton broke the game open in the first quarter, relying on its famous fast break. The Notre Dame boys could never quite keep up the torrid pace as the game increased and Groveton opened a wide mar- gin. Coach Smith emptied the bench in the final quarters. The final score at the buzzer was 92 to 51 in favor of Groveton. Feb. 1, 1955-Littleton at Groveton A very good crowd of home town fans were pres- ent when Littleton came to town. The outcome of the game was never in doubt from the first quarter as the boys scored freely, relying on the fast break and tight man-to-man defense. Coach Smith again emptied the bench allowing all boys to play. The final score was 49 to 33. Feb. 3, 1955-Stratford at Groveton Stratford came to Groveton with the intention of evening up their loss at Stratford. The Groveton boys broke the game wide open in the first quarter, jumping to a 16 to 5 lead. From this point on Stratford could never regain its feet as Groveton played a wonderful game. The fast breaks and man-to-man defense were used much to the pleas- ure of the crowd. The final score was 61 to 48. Stratford played a great game but couldn't match the Groveton boys in speed. Feb. 8, 1955-Groveton at Lancaster Would Groveton win another victory over Lancas- ter? That was the question that was on everyone's lips when the first quarter began. The first quarter was very fast and exciting. Lancaster was out to win, but they were finding it hard against the fighting spirit of the Purple Powerhouse. It was a close quarter all the way, but Lancaster gained a lead of three points. During the second quarter Groveton was pressing Lancaster, and because of some great passwork between the squad, Lancaster could not gain a bigger lead, but still maintained their lead of three points. Groveton was at their best in the third quarter. Arsenault fouled out, and Martin went in for him. The team made basket after basket and at the end of the quarter, Groveton had a lead of five points. The Purple Powerhouse went right on to win in the fourth quarter, and there was nothing Lancaster could do to stop them. At the end of the quarter the final score was Groveton 58, Lan- caster 48. Another Victory Over Lancaster! ! Feb- ll, T955-Groveton at Colebrook The Groveton Eagles lost their second game of the season to the Colebrook Mohawks by a score of 82 to 44. Although the Groveton boys played a good game they were no match for the Mohawks, who Were playing far better than could be expected of a high school team. They completed over 805 of their shots from the floor. This gave the Eagles a split with Colebrook for the season. Feb- 15, 1955-Groveton at Whitefield In a packed gymnasium at Whitefield the fans got fifty cents worth of excitement as they saw a very close game. At the end of the first quarter Grove- ton led 14-8 but with plenty of fight Whitefield closed the gap to two points at half time. The Groveton boys were a bit worried as they needed this game to win the White Mountain League Championship. As they came on the court at half- time the fans saw fight in the boys. In the third quarter they battled it out sixteen points apiece. In the last closing minute Groveton froze the ball to win by a score of 60-57. This loss left White- Boys' Soccer . . . This year G. H. S. adopted the new sport of soc- cer. Since it was a new sport, not too familiar with the boys, the turn-out was questionable. but at the first practice. well over thirty boys attended. Before the first game, a team of eleven men was picked to start. Many of the other boys who were present were sent in at every opportunity. Soccer is played with eleven men who must either kick or move the ball by bouncing it off the head, The hands or arms cannog be used to touch the ball. In order to score a goal you must kick the ball between the goal posts. The playing field field in fifteenth place for the Class C standings and left Groveton with a tie for third with RHY- mond in Class B. This victory gave the Gr0f'Gt0H boys the White Mountain League Championshlp- Grovetonifes Bow to Huskies at Woodsville In a thrilling game played at Woodsville, the Gor- Huskies eliminated the Purple Powerhouse from further competition in the Class B Play-Offs, send- ing them down to defeat by a score of 50 to '48. This game was a clean. hard-fought game. right down to the fatal buzzer. The game was mp and tuck most of the way, but the Grovetonites did manage to hold a point margin at half-time only to lose the slim lead in the third quarter. During the remainder of the game. the score changed hands several times: first Groveton would move ahead. and vice-versa. Bob Micucci led the action for Gorham with a twelve-point score. while also delivering the fatal basket. He was greatly aided by Herman. Lynch was the high scorer for Grove- ton with sixteen points. is very long. and the game is quite fast. This year's soccer team played games against Lancaster. Colebrook. Stratford. Whitefield. and Gorham. Since this year was only a trial year. no records were kept of the games. It is hoped that next year the boys will have proper equipment. thus enabling them to make a better showing. This game should not be attempted in any school that does not wish to spend money for the proper equipment because of the extreme danger involv- ed. Soccer is a game that should receive a lot of attention in the future. v f ' 1. .-x M, 1 H. .. HUYS' V.XRSI'l'Y SOVVICII 'l'H.KNI: lst row---Il. flxiunon, K . Landry, W. Kerr, G.

Of all the stocks that are in the bin There are only a few that're sure to win. There are those that are always sure to fail Despite the President's most frantic wail. Now if you like the big stuff, An industrial is big enough. But if you are just starting out And you would like to run about. Just try a good rail And you'll never failg And if you'd like to win amid futility, You should try a good utility. You win or lose as fate would have it. But. if the stock market should hit A new high someday. You would get your pay .... Noel Nugent SAL'S OLD CAR Sally's car is a good old crate. It gets us there at any rate. You press the button and llnstead of its starting as it shouldl You'll find Sally tinkering somewhere under the hood, While inside the aging car Dot and Mert are singing And arguing, the way they always are. Sharon and Anna are completely relaxed, Discussing subjects without the facts. But hurray-we hear the motor give a sudden blast, And we are off down the road at last. A Senior Girl OCTOBER 31 On October 31, in the year of '52 The ghosts were in a dither and the witches in a stew! On October 31, the cats couldn't climb the fences, The witches couldn't ride their brooms and they nearly lost their senses! On October 31, oh, what a sight! The ghosts couldn't get out because the doors were stuck so tight! On October 31, it seemed so queer. For not a goblin or a bat could be seen, far or near! On October 31, lo and behold! The witches' brew froze and all was white and cold! Oh, October 31, was a night unforseen. for whoever heard of snow on Halloween? By Sheila Anderson CHEMISTRY As I was building a fire in the furnace one cold night not too long ago, I dropped a lump of coal onto the floor. By chance it fell beside a drop of oil that had been spilled onto the floor. A very exciting conversation took place. Said the lump of coal to the drop of oil. They break me up, and they make you boil, They crack our atoms so swiftly apart. Then piece us together with a magical art. Gosh, it makes me dizzy to comtemplate Just how we'll look at some future date. To what color or shape or flavor or guise We'll be synthesized by these chemical guys! But despite big liberties taken with us. Maybe we shouldn't raise too much fuss. Look at the wonderful things we can be When arranged for the needs of humanity. Ruby lips, ruddy cheeks. rosy living we hold. My black makes white, and your green brings gold. Our compounds are working with might and main To foster best health and alleviate pain. So be of good cheer, my dear drop of oil. Though all broken up by the chemists fine toil, What's made for us makes it plain to see The world can't get along without CHEMISTRY! By Noel Nugent CAPTAIN KIDD Listen, ye lads. for a story I tell. Listen. ye lads. and remember it well. For to me tonight a story was told Of a daring young pirate that was foxy and bold: He would rob from the Spanish. Then into thin air he would vanish. It was a story that would give you a chill To learn that he could go out to rob and to kill. Who else would dare do so bloody a thing. Then back to his roost. gold and silver bring? None other but this young pirate ever did Things that were done by Captain Kidd. Reginald Zanes BASKETBALL BANQU ET On March 17, 1955, the Lions Club, Booster Club, and parents honored the girls' and boys' bas- ketball teams, cheerleaders, coaches, and chap- erones at a turkey banquet. The hall was beautifully decorated in our school colors, purple and gray. The guest speaker was Steve Slayton, Athletic Director of Iittleton, N. H. Other speakers were Mr. Howard Fowlie, superintendent of schools, and Mr. Roy Cascadden, Principal of G. H. S. Engraved basketballs were presented to the girls' Varsity team and the cheerleaders. The boys' team, White Mt. League Champions for 1954-55, received purple and gray jackets with a white emblem. Class News SOPHOMORE CLASS This year has been a very successful year for the Sophomores. Our officers are as follows: President-Reginald Zanes Vice-President-Elaine Israel Secretary-Brenda York Treasurer-Arthur Collins Marshal-Charles Landry We have discussed plans for getting our class banner, and have initiated the new Freshmen, as well as having the Freshman reception. Many of our members have been active in other organiz- ations. We have a few members of our class that belong to the band, boys' glee club, basketball teams, girls' chorus, and two of the Sophomore girls are varsity cheerleaders. Other members are active in outside activities such as Rainbow Girls, DeMolay Boys, and 4-H Club. All in all, the Sophomore Class has had a very eventful and happy four years at G. H. S. We are all sure that we will hold up the fort after the classes of '55 and '56 have left, but what will happen to G. H. S. after the class of '57 leaves? THAT is something that requires a lot of thought! Elaine Israel JUNIOR CLASS President-J ack Lynch Vice President-James McBride Secretary-Denise Thibodeau Treasurer-Louise Devost Marshal-James Shannon Our two student council members this year are Romona Gonyer and Bruce Hodge. Sheila Anderson was elected as Vice President of the Athletic Association. We had our first social on October 22, 1954, and made out quite well. Our first food sale was held December 18, 1955. A good profit was made there. The junior class candidate for carnival queen was Millicent Cloutier. Millie worked hard and came in third. The junior play was held March 25, 1955. It was quite different from the one usually given and was very much enjoyed by the many people who attended. The Junior Prom is scheduled for April 22, 1955, and everyone is working hard to make it a success. EIGHTH GRADE The first day of school this fall brought sixty-six eighth graders back to G. H. S. We were very proud to be eighth graders and no longer the babies of the school. This year's class officers chosen were: President-Diane Miles Vice-President-Ruth Martin Secretary-Robert Nugent Treasurer-Daniel Nason Marshal-Philip Boucher This year after the hurricane, we sent five dol- lars to go towards the fund for reconstructing the Old North Church in Boston, Massachusetts. We have given two junior high socials during the course of the year which were well attended and much enjoyed. Our Carnival Queen candidate this year was Angeline Holbrook. She and the class did a good job of selling carnival tickets. Now I have brought you up to date on the class of '59. Though this is only our second year at the high school, we all look forward to four more years full of good times at G. H. S. Brenda Israel SEVENTH GRADE The class officers for 1954-55 are as follows: President-Wayne Elliot Vice-President-Mary Laroche Secretary-Austin Astle Treasurer-Helen Cloutier Marshal-Paul Rice Congratulations! You were, and are fine leaders. Good Luck in other elections. Joyce Mason FRESHMAN CLASS On September eighth, our class entered Grove- ton High School as Freshmen. The first event that we took part in was the annual Freshman Initia- tion. In October we ordered our class banner which we were very proud to receive around the first of December. In November our class held a very successful Senior High Social. We took in quite a bit of money to use for our class banner. During the annual Winter Carnival our class re- ceived twenty-live dollars as a prize for taking part in the sports events. The next thing our class is looking forward to is ordering our class rings.

H. S. At first, were were all noted for our freshness and wildness Whlch was quickly changed after the Sophomores salted us down. At our first class meeting, Clarence Gagnon was elected president. We all had big money-making ideas, but the only one to show proiit was a magazine sale. At the end of our freshman year, we ordered our class rings from The Balfour Company and also our class banner, which Lawrence Benoit designed. We entered our sophomore year only to find that many of our classmates ha deither moved away or had left school. Sally Landry was elected president at our first class meeting. We surely were happy the day we gave the freshmen their royal welcome to G. H. S. This year we really started to think about our class trip to New York City, and we wanted to earn money for it. We had many socials and food sales. We were all excited to get back to school for our junior year, realizing that we did not have much longer to go. At our first class meeting of this year, Richard Nu- gent was elected president. We really started to earn money this year. We put on a baked bean supper and many food sales. The first exciting event was the Junior Play. Mr. Pierre Morin was the director, and he chose a terrific cast and did an excellent job directing the three-act mys- tery-comedy. Three Fingers in the Door by Felicia Metcalfe. It was a great success. The next big event was the Junior Prom for which Dean King and his orchestra furnished fine music. Quo Vadis was chosen for our class motto. In the last week of our junior year, we were told that there would be no more class trips. This was a terrible blow, and it really upset us. We Iinally arrived at our senior year. Richard Nugent had done such a good job leading us last year that we elected him again as our president. On November 20, we staged our Senior Play, Papa Says No by Felicia Metcalfe. This play was a great suc- cess under the fine direction of Mr. D. Chandler Matthews. Then we started to pay plans for our yearbook. The first thing we decided to do was to change the name to The Groveton Eagle. Tommy Platt was elected as our editor. Now the only major undertaking in our last year at G. H. S., is the Hop and then graduation. One thing that is sad about our graduation is the ab- sence of twenty-one of our classmates that have either left school or have moved away since the ninth grade. We really hate to have graduation come, but we shall always have many memories of the good times we have History had together at G. H. S. DOROTHY McALLISTER Class Will We, the Senior Class of 1955, being of sound and dispos- ing memory do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Dear Mary, My vacation is finally over. I spent the past month in our home town, and now I am back at my studies at the University of Paris. While I was there, I had the pleas- ure to stay with Sharon Macloon. I read over her new issue of Who's Who , and we found the names of our classmates and their whereabouts. You will be interested to know what became of them. I was happy to learn that Ralph owns a dude ranch and riding stable in El Paso, Texas. He has Jean Normand working as his private secretary. I knew he would be a terrific success. Noel Nugent is a great scientist. He planned and re- leased his new experiment, the sodium-choride bomb. Noel said that his bomb was a real success. Remember what a brain he was when we took chemistry? Sharon and I went downstreet shopping. The name of the store was Bernie's Serve Yourself, and owned by none other than Bernard Dupuis. He has a wonderful store and is doing very well. While we were at Bernie's I saw Ann Shores, the Dime Store Heiress. She just came back from a trip around the world, and is visiting now at her summer home at Maidstone Lake. She said she was going to marry her man for his money. On our way home we passed a new hospital. I was later told that Robert Carver was a famous brain surgeon and he recent- ly opened this hospital and he named it The Noggin Center . His business is recently getting ahead. When we got back home Sharon told me that she had just finished swimming the English Channel. Her time was eight hours and thirty-one minutes. She said she wasn't going to swim that channel againg it isn't wide enough any more. After a short conversation, we went back to reading Who's Who. We found that Waneta was selected Miss America of 1962, and she is in Hollywood at MGM studios. Tommy is the head chemist at Dow Chemical Company. Tommy is going to Germany next year to study how to make synthetic rubber. I'm sure he will be a success. Addison Hall is on a hunting expedition throughout Af- rica. He surely has made quite a jump in hunting. Re- member when he used to hunt in the Three-Mile Woods? There is a new State Trooper in New Hampshire now. As you probably can guess it's Norman. He wanted very badly to have a job like this when we were in school. I am so glad that he made it. Sometime when you are shopping drop into Bonwit Teller and see Sally. She is a model in the gown depart- ment. She has been making many trips around the world modeling, but she will be in New York for three months more. She is married and her husband is a Lieutenant in the Navy. They have five boys. I hope she is happy be- cause she is such a nice girl. Mary Ellen is now manager of the Groveton Papers Company office. She was always good in business when we were in school. James has been in the Air Force for the past eighteen years. He always said when he went into the service he would be a twenty-year man . While we were having a cup of coffee, Anne Sawyer dropped by to see us. She told me that she is teaching dancing to pupils at G. H. S. She was sent this year as a representative to Arthur Murray's Studio. She always was a good dancer when we were kids. Anna told us that Dotty went to train at Laconia School of Nursing. Then to further her training she went to Massachusetts General Hospital. She has recently been promoted to head nurse in the operating room. Donnie is married and lives in Washington, D. C. He has been a representative to the House for the past fifteen years. He surely used to argue politics when we took World Problems. He finally married Bette Potter and has her for his private secretary. I knew she would prove to be a good secretaryg she always worked so hard. Philbert has been playing basketball professionally for the past fifteen years. He studied at the University of Southern California, and of course after graduating he went back to playing ball for the Celtics. Boy, could he toss a ball when he played for our Purple Powerhouse. George owns the Rockingham Race Track. Since his purchase of the track, it has been changed into a jalopy speedway. Remember how he used to drive when we were in school? Billy is married and lives in Toledo, Ohio, where he owns a meat-cutting plant. He went to meat-cutting school there. Remember how he used to talk about meat? We went back to reading Who's Who , and found that Paul McMahon owns one of the fastest railroad lines in the world. It is called Paul's Streamlinern. If you want to go somewhere in a hurry, contact. Paul. Edwin just published another series of joke books. Re- member how he could really tell the jokes when we were at G. H. S? Marilyn is married to a man from Berlin. She and her husband live in New York City, where they own and oper- ate a publishing company, the New York Times. Kent was chosen Best Potato Grower of the year. Some of his potatoes are so big that he has to hire special rail- road cars to haul them to market. The new President of the United States is Dick. He was quite a. whiz at solving problems at G. H. S., but I wonder what he'll do now with all of his new and diihcult problems. I guess that takes care of our classmates. Are you still working at your husband's publishing company or are you staying home with your sons? Write and let me know just what you are doing.
