Tf , lllsioflv vi ...Q gg -is h gg? ,X ff? 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
