We appreciate the snacks that you so generously provided and the use of your car which was always avail- able. We shall never forget the wonderful times that we spent with you working on this, our Seniorianl We Peerenf One Snpeeinfeneienf HOWARD D. FOWLIE The Mcasurc of a Man He built the rail-pile as he built the State, Pouring his splendid strength through every blow, The conscience of him testing every stroke, To make his deed the measure of a man. - The parent sitting in on his offspringfs gradua- tion exercises can nurture no greater hope than that said offspring will go out into the world and make his deed the measure of a man. Down through the ages, great minds with ability to portray human thinking in a few words have laid out two lines of endeavor whereby men, or any given man, will effect this end. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote what he was pleased to term an Apology for Idlersf' Walter Foss said, Let me live in the house by the side of the road and be a friend to man, and the incomparable Milton in one of the most beautiful poems of the English lan- guage reconciled himself to his blindness with the words, They also serve who only stand and wait. I have always had a tremendous respect for those individuals who can, thinkingly and know- ingly, lay out the pattern of their lives to do the greatest amount of good with the least expendi- ture of energy and calmly and clearly rationalize their position. On the other hand there seems to be as never before the opportunity and challenge for those in- dividuals who can and will give expression to their efforts in physical force and action. Longfellow says, Let us them be up and doing with a heart for any fate, and, also, Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose. Huxley says, The great end of life is knowledge in action, and Tennyson says, That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do. The Seniors have chosen a most thought provok- ing motto, In ourselves our future lies . One is reminded of Oxnam's words Some men choose the high road and some men choose the low and in between on the misty flats the rest drift to and fro. No one would wish to identify which of the two courses outlined is the high road or the low road for any given individual-one could hope that none of our Seniors would be drifters . If one purposely and thoughtfully elects to sit by the side of the road and be a friend to man, congratu- lations and blessings on him. Conversely let us picture immortal Theodore Roosevelt as he stood before a vast throng in a midwestern city, extend- ed his arms in an all embracing gesture and boom- ed out, I challenge you, therefore, men of Chicago live the strenuous life. Howard D. Fowlie, Superintendent of Schools OW Hefzdmazffer ! ROY G. CASCADDEN Seniors June 1957 brings to a close twelve years of your formal education. Much remains to be learned. Your Groveton schools have given you the oppor- tunity to acquire a foundation of learning, on which you may continue to build for the remain- der of your lives. May the structure that you create be worthy of acclaim, and in the process of building may you find a fair measure of success and happiness. Your Principal Roy G.

T In September, 1953, a very proud and excited class of freshmen entered Groveton High School. It d1dn't take the sophomores long to tame us down., once the day of initiation came. We were certainly a sorrowful looking group that day as we walked to school, the girls in men's clothes, and the boys in women's. Despite all the dreadful things the sophomores did to us we thoroughly en- joyed ourselves. That evening the sophomores were a little more thoughtful of us, and put on a social in our honor which we all enjoyed tremen- dously. At our first class meeting, we chose Lester Breault for our president. Our other officers were Elaine Israel, vice-president, Brenda York, secre- tary, and Phyllis McAllister, treasurer. The first thing we did to make money was to put on a food sale which was quite successful. Our candidate for Carnival Queen was Brenda York. In the spring, a representative of the L. G. Bal- four Company came to school and showed us a large selection of class rings which we liked. We selected our design and sent an order to be deliver- ed the following September. When we returned to school again in the fall, as sophomores, we elected new officers. Reginald Zanes was president, Elaine Israel, vice-presidentg Brenda York, secretary, and Arthur Collins, treas- urer. This year it was our turn to initiate the fresh- men, and we did a good job of it. In the evening we gave a Freshman Reception which was very successful. We received our class rings and we were very proud of them, showing them off to our friends. This year our candidate for Carnival Queen was Mona Riendeau. At our first class meeting in our junior year, we elected class officers who were as follows-Regin- ald Zanes, president, Stuart Sherburne vice-presi- dent, Brenda York, secretary, and Ann Bryan, treasurer. This year we received our class banner which was designed like our class ring. Here We Revere! Om' Hirfoey . When it came time for the Winter Carnival, the class worked very hard making two beautiful floats which won first prize. We elected Valerie Mills for our Carnival Queen candidate. In March we had our first try at dramatics when we chose our Junior Play, Off The Track , which was under the direction of Mr. Morin. The play went off well on the night of its performance. We had a good crowd despite the snow storm that we had that evening. When the night of the Junior Prom came, we were very excited and happy. The music was by Dean King's Orchestra, and the decorations were marvelous. They featured a beautiful prismatic, revolving, crystal ball. Finally, after a long summer vacation, we, The Class of 1957, returned for the last time to Grove- ton High School. We were all excited and thrilled about being mighty seniors . We elected Charles Landry to lead us through the senior year, as president. Our other oliicers were Phyllis McAllister vice-president, Brenda York, secretary, and Trudy Call, treasurer. We lost many members of our class during this, our last, year. Some did not return in the fall, and others left school after it began. Among these were Phyllis McAllister, our vice-president. This made it necessary to choose another vice-president. We elected Darryl Gagnon. When our Senior Play came along, we chose Mr. Matthews for our director. This time we selected a mystery-comedy entitled The Skeleton Walks . We elected Shelba Mahurin as our candidate for Carnival Queen. Soon we got into all the exciting events that come during the senior year: giving a Senior So- cial, having our pictures taken, ordering name cards, being measured for our caps and gowns, deciding on graduation announcements, electing a Seniorian staff, and working on the yearbook. We soon realized that we were badly in need of money as our treasury was quite low, so we voted to sell Nabs at recess. Under the direction of Darryl Gagnon, we did a thriving business and have become greatly encouraged as we have watch- ed our treasury grow. Our Senior Hop will take place on May 24, and again we plan to have Dean King. I know it will be a night of memories for each of us. Each new activity draws us closer to the day of graduation when each of us will walk out of this school, diploma in hand, to endeavor to live up to our motto In ourselves our future lies. But no matter what we do after our graduation, you can be sure that we shall look back on G. H. S. with loving memories of the work we did, and the good times we had here. Dawn Emerson Here Forde!! OW Future . . . C J an 7. i 0 'mlaltilggvff I Q , FR IX 4 2 if' ' ' ,,' .L X 2' I -. Little Rock, Arkansas July 2, 1967 Dear Ann: Ido wish you could have come back for our tenth class reunion. It was wonderful to be back in Groveton with old friends and classmates. I explained that since your husband is manager of the Prudential Insurance Company, you had to be hostess at an insurance convention in Los Angeles that week. Our classmates are scattered throughout the United States and even in foreign countries. In answer to my announcements of the reunion, I received letters from Saran Platt, Sandra Goad, Donald Harris and Nathan Martin telling me they were unable to attend. Saran is a missionary in Africa. Sandra and her husband spent their honey- moon in Florida and liked it so much they decided to live there. For a few years they were deep sea divers, and now they own a hotel. Donald is mak- ing a career of the navy, and is stationed in the Pacific as commander of a battleship. Nathan has made the Marines his career, and has just return- ed from the Mediterranean Sea where he repre- sented the Marines in a special escort for the President of the United States. I iiew from Little Rock to New York City. On the plane I saw a very familiar face. As he came toward me, I recognized Harold Marshall. He is the Manager of a branch of the Ford Motor Com- pany in Detroit, and was flying to New York on business. From there he was going to Groveton. When we landed at LaGuardia Airfield in New York City, Elaine met me. I had been invited to stay with her a few days before we left for Grove- ton together. Her husband is the head of a New York clinic which is doing highly specialized re- search in cancer. Elaine is very active in a club that sponsors and aids social workers. She said that her training as a medical secretary helped her in this work. Elaine told me that Dawn Emerson also does can- cer research. She works in both Chicago and New York, and at the time she was in New York. She also told me that Shirley Fowlie is a psychiatrist in an experimental marriage clinic in New York. That night Elaine had a dinner party for the four of us, and we had a very nice time discussing our school days. The next morning we went to a television studio. How surprised I was to find Trudy Call the Master of Ceremonies of the variety show that was being broadcast! We also visited Carolyn Cassidy. She has been a stewardess for United Airlines until recently, when she married a pilot. Her husband taught her to Hy and they own their own plane. She told us she was flying to Groveton the next day and want- ed Elaine, Shirley, Dawn, and me to go with her. Trudy was unable to attend because of her TV schedule. Just as we landed in Groveton another plane was preparing to take off. It was Rowell Thibodeau who was leaving to investigate reports of a forest Hre. He is a game warden and has also started a mink ranch. As we were standing there talking, we heard a roar and turned to see a new-style sportscar pull- ing into the airport. It wasn't very surprising to see Reggie Zanes get out and walk toward us. He said he had designed the car, and was working in Chicago for the firm that manufactures them. We all rode into town with him. Upon arriving in town, we went into the res- taurant, and were met by Shirley Nailer and Re- jeanne Perras. They told us they were married, and that their husbands owned the restaurant. As we sat at our table in the restaurant we could hear voices talking basketball. When we turned around to investigate, we saw it was Darryl, Chuck, and Lee. Darryl is the physical education teacher at Plymouth Teachers College, Chuck is a high school teacher and coach in Massachusetts, and Lee is the Manager of the Boston Celtics. While I was unpacking at the hotel, the tele- phone rang. It was Irene, Leone, and Shirley Na- son. I invited them to come up, and no sooner had I replaced the receiver, than they were at the door. We had a wondeful reunion with them. Irene's husband is an instructor at the University of Ver- mont, and she teaches in a kindergarten connected with the University. Leone and Shirley had come to Groveton from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where they are both living. Leone and her husband are both doctors and have a private hospital. Shirley is the head operating nurse at that hospital. Elaine and I wanted to have our hair done, and were directed to a beautician. It turned out to be Gwenie. She said she had so much spare time she thought she would enjoy running a beauty salon. She does an excellent job, too. By the time we had our actual reunion, there were only four former classmates whom I had not seen. I soon saw them, though. Mona had just arrived from Boston and Helen had come from Manchester with her. Mona's husband runs a photography studio. She works as his secretary. Helen is married and her husband owns a radio and television business. Bill Kerr and Lester Breault had flown up from Texas, just for the day. Bill is an oil millionaire, and Lester owns a huge ranch. Seeing and talking with these former classmates has given me much pleasure and has brought back many memories. I hope this brief sketch of their present lives has brought some joy to you. I promise to give you more details when we meet this fall. Love, Brenda Aw' Here Sm! Om' Lazy! Wi!! and Tefmmenf. 4 . Z, I , WE-, ci GLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1957, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament. I, Lester Breault, do bequeath my love for farming to anyone who has a little ambition. I, Ann Bryan, do bequeath to my sister Jane the privilege of remaining in bed an extra fifteen minutes on school mornings.

Our junior Play - Of the Tracie On March 16, 1956, the Junior Class of Grove- ton High School, under the direction of Mr. Pierre Morin, presented the comedy Off The Track , by Felecia Metcalfe. The scene, a Waiting room in a small wayside railroad station, seemed almost real, it was so well set up by the stage managers, Arthur Collins and his assistant, Darryl Gagnon. The characters made the story come alive as they gathered and told of the trains being derailed on the stormy night and lamented the turn of events which left them stranded in this isolated spot. Mystery and tension increased as Miss Pid- gie, a noisy old maid tried to discover what was in Mr. Oscar Pozenbyis suitcase. When Mrs. Van- derventer's 510,000 string of pearls disappeared, Mrs. Guarino and her daughter were suspected, but were cleared of the charges by Bill Lindsay, a prospective lawyer. Miss Pidgie succeeded in put- ting over a smart trick and, much to her dismay and the audienceis merriment, finally discovered what was in Mr. Posenby's suitcase.

Platt. Our Senior Play - Thr Skeleion uydfkln The Class of 1957 presented its Senior Play on November 9, 1957. It chose a mystery-comedy The Skelton Walks by Felicia Metcalfe. Mr. Chandler Matthews acted as coach, and Rowell Thibodeau, Donald Harris, Lester Breault and Har- old Marshall were the stage managers. The action of the play took place in the dreary and dismal living room of the Charles Blair home, located on a lonely island. Elaine Blair, her law- yer fiance and her mother had come to inspect the property which Elaine had inherited from her uncle. The place itself was worthless, but the fact that both Elaine and Dr. Fersig ther late uncle's physicianl knew that much money was hidden there, led to exciting complications. Dr. Fersig was in charge of the house. When the bridge was blown up, forcing Elaine's party to stay the night, strange things happened. After the appearance of a walking skeleton, and after Elaine's disappearance, Bill made a discovery which led to a solution of everything. We really enjoyed giving the play, and it was very successful.

Ridgwell. Student Council OFFICERS President Trudy Call Vice President Donna Goad Secretary Ruth Martin Treasurer Darryl Dunham MEMBERS William Kerr William Hinkley Marilyn Dufour Carolyn Styles Robert Nugent Carolyn Hinkley Arlene Ridgwell James Brooks As president of the Student Council, I have been called upon to explain a little about this organiz- ation and its functions. To begin with, the backbone of this council is the suggestion box here at school. Mr. Cascadden IS our adviser, and council members are made up of two representatives from each class. We meet regularly and, after reading the sug- gestions from our fellow school mates, we try to do something about them, if we feel they are good ones. After each meeting, time is taken from a home- room period so that members of the council' can report to their classes concerning their activities. Often the council decides to let the classes vote upon something which has come up, and then it acts in accordance with the wishes of the major- ity. The Student Council is interested in improving our school. It gives students a chance to express their ideas and make known those things which they would like to have changed. Council members themselves have the experi- ence of being able to learn how to discuss prob- lems and find sound solutions for them. One of the goals of this council, and of past coun- cils, has been to have a blinker light installed near the school to lessen the traflic hazard. Mr. Cas- cadden has worked hard for this, and at last we have been assured that not one, but three, such lights will be installed in various busy sections of town. As long as there are students interested enough in their school to try to make it a better place, there will be work for the Student Council. We of this year's council hope that our work has been a credit to our school and a help to our schoolmates. In closing, we wish to thank Mr. Cascadden for his help and also to wish next year's council success in all that it may attempt. Trudy Call In Om' Srhool Paper . . .IOURNALISM CLUB: Row 1-J.

Winter Carnival - January 16 - 21 We at Groveton High School believe our Winter Carnival to be second to no other schoo1's in the North Country. It is the highlight of our winter season, participated in by nearly every pupil, and enjoyed by both pupils and townspeople. Its pro- ceeds go to the Athletic Association which finds many uses for the income. The Carnival program is made up of athletic, sculpturing, queen and fioat contests and, as a fit- ting climax, a Carnival Ball. The classes compete on a point basis and are divided into two groups, the first of which is made up of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, the second of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. This year the Freshman class won the greatest number of points in the junior group, the Sopho- more class won the greatest number in the senior group. The senior snow-sculpturing contest resulted in a tie between the Juniors and Sophomores as the judges found it impossible to decide between the Junior piggy-bank and the Sophomore cow. The seventh grade's lion won the junior contest. The Seniors' babe-in-a-sled, and the Freshmen class' vase won in their respective groups in the ice sculpturing. The parade held on Friday was unusually good as some classes entered more than one fioat. The Junior float, representing the Olympic torch, won first place in the 10-11-12th grade group, and the Freshman float, representing Hungarian refugees, placed first in the 7-8-9th grade group. The en- tries of the elementary school pupils added much to the beauty of the parade for great skill and much work showed in each. Charlotte Tapley, a sophomore girl, became Queen of the G. H. S. Winter Carnival, and Jennie McAllister, a freshman, became Carnival Princess, at the Carnival Ball on Saturday evening. Char- lotte's king was Frederick Tremoseg Jennie's, Phil- lip Boucher. The gymnasium was beautifully dec- orated in green and white, and Dean King's orches- tra played. The winning of points by individual participants in the winter sports events, is extremely important to each class. Such participation and victory are the backbone of the carnival. The events resulted as follows: Junior High Skating-Boys' Dash: C. Lefebvre, P. Rice, C. Charbonneau: Boys' Obstacle: C. Lefebvre, P. Rice, C. Charbonneau, Girls' Dash: E. Crawford, E. Nason, B.

Wiffzzfer Cmfniml x S K5 E G99 -'f Six qu Q 5 l We Enjoy Our Somali mm' Assemblies. Asscmblics October 31, 1956 This assembly proved to be an exciting one. Four members of Mr. Morin's class held a heated poli- tical rally as the speakers for the Democrats ex- tolled the virtues of the candidates of their party, and the speakers for the Republicans added up the good points scored by the Eisenhower Administra- tion. Ruth Martin and Saran Platt were the Re- publican speakersg Dan Nason and Dawn Stevens the Democratic ones. November 14, 1956 This was an especially interesting program as we had a speaker from the State Health Department. Besides giving an interesting talk, she showed a motion picture about the opportunities afforded to young people entering the field of medicine. November 19, 1956 Mr. Cascadden's presentation of a film about the Paper Industry, and his talk concerning the op- portunities in this field was interesting to us be- cause of the closeness to us of such employment. He pointed out specific help we would get if we wished to work in this Held. November 19, 1956 This assembly answered many questions for our basketball ''bleacher-superintendents''. Mr. Camp- bell introduced our Girls' Varsity basketball team, and had them demonstrate some of the differences between girls' and boys' rules. Then Mr. Moulton had the Varsity boys demonstrate as he explained 1956-57 rule changes and the type of offense our team might use during the season. November 21, 1956 Our Thanksgiving holidays were ushered in for us by this program in observance of the uniquely American day of Thanksgiving and the Jewish Hanickhah fFestival of Lightsj. The Reverend Mr. Wright spoke on the meaning of Thanksgiving. Elaine and Brenda Israel conducted a symbolic ceremony, the lighting of the candles, during a reading of The Eternal Light . December 5, 1956 Mr. Fowlie gave a lively talk to the student body, and, in his remarks about Santa Claus, stressed that we must not expect something for nothing. We enjoyed our meeting with Mr. Fowlie for we miss seeing him coming and going from the build- ing since his office has been moved to the elemen- tary building. December 19, 1956 Father Heon spoke to the student body about the meaning of Christmas. The student body, both by classes and as a united group, joined in the sing- ing of Christmas Carols. Mr. Micucci led the sing- ing. January 30, 1957 In presenting the Betty Crocker homemaking award to Mona Riendeau, Mr. Cascadden express- ed the congratulations of the entire school. He stressed the importance of each and every one of us doing what we can to improve our characters and scholastic records because of their importance to us. February 13, 1957 Mr. Cascadden announced the Honor Roll students to us, and explained the distinction of being on it. He expressed his pleasure with both the team and the student body in the way each had conducted itself during the basketball season. Mona Riendeau Socials Each class has at least one social during the year. These are sometimes record hops , but usually are small dances for the pupils. Attend- ance is good for an effort is made to have music and special features which will suit the date of the dance and which will appeal to the pupils. Class advisors help with and act as chaperons of our dances. The following information was given to me by the secretaries of each class: On September 21, the Sophomores held the first social of the year. They put much effort into dec- orations, hired Phil Nelson's orchestra and served refreshments. During the evening, dance con- tests were held. The winners were as follows: jitterbugging, Thomas Atkinson and Charlotte Landry, waltzing, Roger Lizotte and Beth Covell, fox-trotting, Philip Boucher and Bonnie Gilbert, and polkaing, Dan Nason and Janet Atkinson. Chaperones were Mr. Matthews, Miss Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Cascadden and Mrs. Christie. The Seniors, on September 27, gave a social which was well attended. The music was by Phil Nelson's orchestra. Bill Kerr and Loretta Perry won the dancing contest of the evening. Mrs. Christie, Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Cascadden acted as chaperones. On October 5, the Juniors gave their social. The music of Phil Nelson's orchestra was much enjoy- ed as the pupils spent a pleasant evening dancing. Acting as chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Moulton and Mr. Gray. October twelfth was the date chosen by the eighth grade for its social. It proved to be a pleas- ant evening for a show was given, games were played, and dancing enjoyed. Miss Chapman, Mr. Morin, Mr. and Mrs. Cascadden, Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. Clemence were chaperones. On October 26, the Freshmen helped us cele- brate the approaching Halloween holiday by giv- ing a social featuring orange and black Halloween decorations. Phil's orchestra played and a door prize was given. The chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Cross and Mrs. Campbell. The seventh grade had one of the most versatile socials of the year when, on November 16, it had a combination talent show and dance. Games and refreshments were also enjoyed. A farewell gift was given to Neil and Howard Smith who are mov- ing to Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Cascadden and Miss Chapman chaperoned this social. Helen Gagnon Our Athletic Tmmy . . . .

Boys' Varsity Basketball St. Pat's at Groveton-Nov. 30, 1956 Our first game of the season brought us our first defeat. During the first half of the game, we stay- ed very close. The third period was our bad period and also the turning point of the game. The final score of the game was 57 to 46 in favor of St. Pat's. Gagnon and Nelson were high scorers for the Eagles with 13 and 11 points. Notre Dame at Groveton-Dec. 7, 1956 Our second game of the season was well played by our players. Everyone saw action and everyone seemed a little more relaxed than in our previous game. We won by a score of 67 to 43. Our high scorers were Phil Nelson with 26 points and Bill Kerr with 17. Groveton at Stratford-Dec. 11, 1956 We were out to win our second game and we did, by a score of 78 to 51. In this game, everyone saw action except Phil Nelson. Phil had a badly sprain- ed ankle and had to sit the game out. Our high scorers were Darryl Gagnon with 28 and Bill Kerr with 20. Groveton at Notre Dame-Dec. 18, 1956 In the second game with Notre Dame, Groveton broke the game wide open by outscoring Notre Dame 24 to 7 and they led the remainder of the game by a similar margin. Everyone saw action for Groveton and four Eagles hit double figures. Groveton won 77 to 56. Jamboree-Groveton vs. Rogers High at Berlin Rogers High of Newport, Rhode Island defeated the Eagles by a score of 58 to 35. Groveton was outscored by its opponent in every period. Even though the Eagles were outclassed they never gave up. Kerr and Nelson paced the Eagles with 14 and 8 points. Jamboree-Groveton vs. N.orthampton at Berlin In this second final game of the Jamboree, the Eagles never gave up for a second. Paced by Car- ver and Landry, the Eagles played great defensive and offensive ball, winning by a score of 44 to 40. The Eagles were underdogs in both games, and they came out ahead by splitting with two Class A teams. Colebrook at Groveton-Jan. 4, 1957 This was another much awaited game for the Eagles. Colebrook was very highly rated this sea- son and this was our chance to show our supporters how good we really were. We won by a very close margin 54 to 53. Nelson paced the Eagles and he tapped in the deciding points, with seconds to go. Nelson scored 25 and Gagnon and Kerr both scored 10 each. Groveton at Littleton-Jan. 8, 1957 This was our final meeting with Littleton this sea- son and we hoped to beat them. We lost by a score of. 56 to 39. We just cou1dn't seem to get started without the-aid of Big Phil Nelson who was out with a sprained ankle. Gagnon and Kerr paced the Eagles with 11 and 9 points. Our ex-teammate fgthur Collins scored 11 points to help pace Little- L . Whitefield at Groveton-Jan. 11, 1957 A surprisingly good Whitefield team handed the Eagles .another defeat 61 to 54. A well-balanced team with plenty of height, good ball handlers, and good shooters forged on to defeat the hustling Eagles.. Four. Whitefield players hit the double figures in scoring. Groveton was paced by Nelson with 26. Beattie and Carver each had 10 points. Groveton at Gorham-Jan. 15, 1957 This was a fast moving game with every Eagle see- ing. action. Carver was outstanding with 26 points while Nelson had 16. The final score of the game was 84 to 61 in favor of the Eagles. Littleton at Groveton-Jan. 22, 1957 Littleton was out to beat us for the second time. We wanted to beat them and we made a great at- tempt at it all the way, but we just couldn't do it. We lost 63 to 59 with Nelson and Gagnon pacing the Eagles with 20 and 15 points. Our ex-school- mate, Art Collins, did a great job in helping to beat the Eagles. Stratford at Groveton-Jan. 25, 1957 The Eagles had a tremendous night on shots against the Stratford five. Everyone saw action and everyone scored. Nelson and Kerr paced the Eagles with 29 and 13 points. The score was 74 to 34 in favor of Groveton. Groveton at Lancaster-Jan. 29, 1957 In another very close game, the Eagles came through again to edge the Lancaster five 62 to 59. This was a very exciting game to watch with Big Phil Nelson and Linnie Carver throwing in 22 and 16 points. We had to admire the great spirit of Fred Campbell who played with a very badly sprained ankle. He tossed in 28 points. Groveton at Colebrook-Feb. 1, 1957 This was another close game for the Eagles, with a score of 61 to 58 in favor of Colebrook. This one was one of the best games of the season with both teams hitting very well. Nelson had another great night with 26 points, also Kerr with 15 points. Groveton at Whitefield-Feb. 5, 1957 Whitefield gave us a great tussle on our own floor earlier in the season. We were out to beat them now. We did beat them in a game that brought the spectators to their feet. The game was tied up at the end of regulation time so had to play a three- minute overtime period. Up until five seconds to go in the overtime, it was still tied up. Then Gag- non made a lay-up and the buzzer rang. The Eagles won 65 to 63. Nelson and Kerr played great ball, scoring 28 and 17 points. Ana! Ourfmnding Sporffmmefhib. Gorham at Groveton-Feb. 8, 1957 This was another game where everyone saw action. This was a very slow game with a score of 42 to 30 in favor of the Eagles. Nelson scored 11 points, pacing the Eagles. Groveton at St. Pat's-Feb. 12, 1957 This was our final game of the regular season and we lost it 53 to 42. It was a very hard fought game for the Eagles with Nelson and Kerr pacing with 23 and 10 points. We ended our regular season with an 11 and 6 record. This was good enough to get us a chance for tournament playoffs. PLAYOFFS Groveton vs. Meredith at Woodsville This was our first game and we really wanted to win. We did win by a score of 53 to 49. Nelson and Carver shone for the Eagles with 19 and 18 points. This was our first step in the playoffs. Now we had to face Franklin. Groveton vs. Franklin at Littleton We got by the first game and we didn't want it to stop there, so we went out and beat Franklin 53 to 49. People began to sit up and take notice now be- cause we had just beaten one of the very top teams in the state. Nelson and Carver did another great job with 11 and 17 points. This win gave us a chance to face St. Johns of Concord, the second place team in the state. People were beginning to follow us very closely now, hoping we would be- come state champs. Groveton vs. St. Johns at Durham This was the night that would tell us if we were going to have a chance to get into the finals. The tension was very high when we went onto the floor to start the game. The game started very slowly for the Eagles, being outscored 23 to 12 in the first half. However, when the gun went off to start the second half, people knew what the out- come was going to be because the Eagles took command and won 42 to 40. The score was close but you just knew the Eagles were going to win because of their great spirit in the second half. When the dust had settled and the game was over, we just couldn't believe that we were going to be in the finals against the number one team in the state -Pinkerton Academy. Groveton vs. Pinkerton at Durham When we went onto the floor we could hardly be- lieve that we were going to have a chance to be state champs. We didn't become state champs, but we came very close. We lost to a very great team by a score of 41 to 33. Even though we lost, we felt proud to have done as well as we had. We were runners-up in the state which is quite an hon- or in itself. We also placed Phil Nelson and Chuck Landry on the all-tournament team of which we were very proud. They both were very deserving of this honor. Throughout the season, our Eagles played great ball under the fine leadership of Coach Moulton. I think the school can be very proud of their Purple Eagles and Coach Moulton.

The credit duly goes to Coach Campbell, manager, Shirley Nason, and the girls themselves. Those who saw the most action are, forwards: Judith Treamer, Betty Woodward, Dawn Stevens, and Carolyn Cassidy, guards: Ruth Martin, Linda Crawford, Joanne Treamer, and Shirley Fowlie. Others on the team are Bonnie Gilbert, Charlotte Landry, Donna Goad, and Carla Beattie. Victory No. I The girls' team started the season by defeating St. Pat's 22-11. The game was close during the first and second quarters, with Groveton edging St. Pat's by a score of 7-4 at the half. Due to the fine defensive work of our girls, St. Pat's found it diffi- cult to score while our forwards had no trouble to raise the score to 14-7, when the gong sounded to end the third period. Judith starred for Grove- ton with a total of 18 points. Notre Dame Takes Groveton Groveton's first loss went to Notre Dame, by a score of 27-22. The game was close, with the half finding Groveton trailing by only 3 points. Our forwards were much better at the foul line than were their opponents, making 6105 of their foul shots as opposed to Notre Dame's 3872. Judith again was high scorer with 10 points followed by Betty with 6. Groveton Loses to Stratford The third game of the season went to Stratford, the game ending with a score of 58-39. Although Stratford outscored Groveton throughout the game, our girls again shone at the foul line, making 78W of their foul shots compared to Stratford's 4796. Forward Carolyn Cassidy substituted as guard during the second half and, along with the rest of our defense, did a good job, even if they couldn't stop Stratford's sharpshooter, M. Patrick. Groveton scoring was divided quite evenly between Dawn-15, Judith-14, and Betty with 9 points. Groveton Defeated by Lancaster Groveton was defeated by their old-time rivals, 42- 32. The girls, who usually play a second halft' game, reversed the procedure by letting Lancaster get only 21 to their 20 points at the half. Judith and Betty set the pace for Groveton with 18 and 12 points, respectively. Groveton Victorious Over Notre Dame Leading all the way, Groveton beat Notre Dame, 35-27. The Groveton guards were at their best and Notre Dame found it almost impossible to break through for lay-ups. Judith was the leading scorer with 15 point, Betty close behind with 14. Littleton Beats Groveton Our girls lost a hard fought game with Littleton by four points K36-323. Groveton set a pace which was too fast for them on Littleton's huge floor, although the Littleton team was all in at the end of the game, too. At the end of the third quarter Little- ton led by nine points, but thanks to the defensive work of Linda, Joanne, and Ruthie, they scored only seven points in the last quarter, while Grove- ton scored 12. High scorers were Judith with 21 points and Dawn with 10. Groveton Swamps Whitefield Offensively and defensively, Groveton was at its best as the girls defeated Whitefield 55-23. Judith was our star tonight, sinking 31 points, while Betty easily made 15. Defensively Ruthie couldn't be beat as she stole the ball and sent it back up the fioor as fast as it came down. Gorham Victorious Over Groveton Gorham defeated Groveton 48-37, with the score at the half 27-25 in their favor. In the first half, the undefeated Gorham girls looked worried as the score was kept nip and tuck throughout the half. Judith again racked up 21 points while Carolyn made 12. If U nlzmifea' . Groveton Edges Littleton In a true fight to the finish game Groveton took Littleton, 25-23. The game was won in the final seconds when, after a time-out, Judith dropped' in the winning basket to break the 23-23 tie and give her a total of 21 points. The lead was evenly dis- tributed throughout the game and, due to the fine team work of our guards and forwards, the girls' team was victorious once more. Whitefield Again Loses to Groveton At the end of the first quarter, our girls were be- hind by three points, but our guards and forwards came though to win, 43-34. Betty played a terrific game and was fouled out in the fourth quarter. She was substituted by Bonnie who shows great promise for next year. The scoring was as follows: Judith 23, Betty and Carolyn each 10. Groveton Once Again Loses to Gorham The last game of the season went to Gorham with the score 55-46. At the half, Gorham was leading by just one point, but, trying with all their might, our girls couldn't take the lead. Ruthie, a start- ing guard, started forward, and did an excellent job in her first game as forward. Top scorers for the night were Judith 28 and Betty 12. Senior Athletes l SENIOR ATHLETES: Row 1-S.
