vvrvwvvvvvrwvvvvvv ' vvriivivvrwvvv vvvv History of the Class of 1933 To recount all of the joys and sorrows of the Class of '33 would be a stupen- dous undertaking. Our path has not been strewn with roses, but neither has it been liberally sprinkled with thorns. We have struggled through our twelve years and have emerged none the worse for well-deserved admonitions and modestly accepted fthough less frequently givenl praise. Of the original number of pupils enrolled in the first grade in 1921, only five have continued through their high school careers and reached the goal together. They are: Joyce Randall, Lester Snyder, Kenneth Lally, George Fusek and Vincent Evans. Others have joined their ranks from time to time or have left for other schools. Our roll now includes: Pearle Roberts, Carl Cook, Susan Vleck, Eliza- abeth Stukey, Thelma Hughes, Agnes Angier, Maxine Rice, Theresa Ward, Elizabeth Lane, Lloyd Smith. William Roberts, Helen Billings, Ruth Van Swall, Armin Chris- teler, Mary Fuess, Mary Reagan, Reuben Tepolt, Leland Kemp, Floretta King, Dan- iel Cleary, Irene Berry, June Draheim, and Marion Brennan. Our freshman year was filled With many enjoyable experiences, but none of which were exceedingly eventful. Although we regretted leaving the old building and all the pleasant memories it held, we were justly thrilled and proud to be able to begin our sophomore year in the beautiful new structure. At first, it was all very confusing, and the supercilious seniors laughed only slightly less amusedly at our stupid attempts to be in the right class at the appointed time than at the still more unfortunate frosh who have always been the target of endless raillery. ln our junior year we were able to flaunt our new class rings before the eyes of the envious lower classmen and to explain condescendingly the many advantages of being eligible to wear them. Our class has been well represented in all school activities. George Fusek, Thelma Hughes, Lloyd Smith, Susan Vleck, and Armin Christeler have displayed oratorical ability and have competed in the Talcott Prize Speaking Contest, while other members of the class have won various mathematical and essay prizes. Joyce Randall, Kenneth Lally, and Pearle Roberts are members this year of the Academic Union staff. Helen Billings, Joyce Randall, Lloyd Smith, George Fusek, and Vincent Evans have held important positions on the basketball squads. Kenneth Lally is president of the Student Council and Joyce Randall is an able second. Our class oiiicers are: George Fusek, president, Irene Berry, vice presidentg Pearle Roberts, secretary, and Daniel Cleary, treasurer. And now that we have reached our last year, and the goal for which we have striven and to which we have looked forward so long is within our grasp, we can look back upon our school days with a deep feeling of regret that the carefree, happy years in Waterville High are past. We are eager, however, to prove to our parents and teachers, who have cheerfully helped us over particularly rough places, that we can make our mark in the world and that Commencement is going to be truly the beginning of a worthy future.

Class Poem For twelve long years, we've watched the game From benches on the sidelines. We have learned fObserving how the players face the strifej, That bridges we have passed are bridges burned, And we must face ahead when in the fray. By struggling forward, we shall Win the day. of life We enter now the places, left by those Whose eligible years are almost done. Efforts and time were lost by some who chose To loiter, when they had a race to run. But many spent their hours with care and thought, Their inliuence, a liner world has wrought. We don't intend to set the world on fire, For itis a good old world as it is now. Weill hitch our wagons just a little higher, And our posterity, we shall endow The best results of all our toil and strife, For them to use, to build a happier life. Joyce Randall.
