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.

May 7, 1954 Groveton played a fine game at Whitefield in which most of the reserves saw action. The final score was 21 to 3 in favor of Groveton.

May 14, 1954 A strong Stratford team which later was Class C runners-up came to Groveton with high hopes, but were sent home with a 10 to 9 loss. Groveton won the game in the last inning. May 18, 1954 The Groveton reserves saw action again in the Colebrook game. The final score was 11 to 5 in favor of Groveton. May 20, 1954 At Colebrook the Groveton boys registered an- other win by a 12 to 2 score. May 25, 1954 Whitefield came to Groveton with the intention of avenging their earlier defeat at the hands of Groveton but were sent home with a 10 to 9 loss. Groveton won the game in the last inning. 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.
