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

Socials . . . There were six socials this year, one given by each grade. 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.
