S.G. '56 GOLF This is a new sport which was added to the Rockland High School Athletic program in 1935. Golf was introduced only through the work of Principal Blaisdell and the able smiling golf professor, James Flanagan, who coached the first official Rockland High School golf team into a tie for the State Cha pionship by winning six of the seven games played. By adding golf to its sports program, Rockland High has as many sports for its students to choose from as any of the other high ranking school of New Eng- land. It's the hope of the many sporting fans who are connected with this sport that golf will always remain on the school program. Golf teams ln the schools and colleges are becoming more popular each year as more and more schools and colleges are being repre- sented by golf teams. It has become so important that our own State Colleges hold a golf tournament each year where the State Championship is at stake. The ancient game of golf itself does more for a young man than any other sport in the world: it not only helps a person out physically but golf helps in many other ways, as it brings the person who plays the game in close contact with the most prominent and successful business men alive. It also creates a better understanding between ttams 4 23

X93 f' s 'I ChUfdro0 V f ,IIP We, the members of the 'Sopho ore' class, entered Rockland 5: High School as the largest class ever enrolled. The records show 5 i the enrollment of 168 pupils. A The Freshman Reception was the first highlight in our N A high school career, as it is in the life of every pupil entering this institution. At the door the Seniors of '55 decorated the m girls with green hair-ribbons and the boys with green necktles. Although the situation was most embarrass1ng,the hospitality of 'li the Seniors was charming. After this we were considered 'bona fide' members of Rockland High School. The outstanding event of the present year was the Sophomore Prize Speaking Contest. Those who qualified for the finals were Doris Borgerson, Dorothy Frost, Kbrion Ludwick, Ruth Rhodes and Dorothy Sherman, Leroy Brown, James Hanley, Donald Marriner,Jack Huke and Gordon Richardson. The first place for the girls was a tie between Doris Borgerson and Dorothy Sherman, with Ruth Rhodes, second.Gordon Richard- son first place in.the boys's contest with Leroy Brown taking second. The customary cash prizes were replaced with beautiful gold cups. The class has been well represented in all the school activities. Two of its members Winifred Dimick and Stella Young were on the first basketball team. We are also proud of Bernard Thompson who is the catcher on the baseball team. Although one hundred and ten of us entered high school J as 'greenles' last fall we are well on our way to becoming 'distinguished sophcmores'.

At our first class meeting we elected: President Grant Davis Vice President Roger Perry Secretary Edith Ee geren Treasurer Harold Dondis Student Council James Skinner and C. Staples . Our Tea Room and Cooked Food Booth were a great success at the Hippy Karnival and as usual turned in the most money. It was our first karnival and we all enjoyed it very much. We were also well represented in sports by our football heroes, Jimmie Skinner and Austin Billingsa and tow fair lassies, Edith Gray and Edith Beggeren who are quickly 'learning the ropes in basketball. Here we might also add that WE won the interclass basketball tournament. In the Minstrel Show, Roger Perry and George Huntley made a great hit as end men. George may someday be a second 'Shorty' Havener. There were a lot of 'freshies' in the chorus also. So as we bid farewell to our seats in the balcony, to our name of 'greenies' and to the pangs of being freshmen, we hope that next year's class will enjoy as much as we have that which we are leaving behind to them. v Zzlx A
