Dj? Among the Forzjf-fzinm As the valiant men of 1849 began their quest for gold so another group of dauntless forty-niners began their first year at Westbrook High School in quest of a higher intangible goal called learning. The officers we elected to guide us over the first and most perilous part of our journey were William Burrows, President, Harry Randall, Vice-Presidentg Roselle Letarte, Secretary, and Robert Thuotte, Treasurer. At the Freshman Reception several of our courageous and talented class- mates were selected to entertain the guests. Priscilla Drake and Patricia Theriault each gave us a delightful song, Philip Wiggin gave us a bit of hot boogie, Sylvia Arsenault tap danced, and an orchestra consisting of musical QQ Freshman boys gave us two selections. Some of our erudite QED members upheld the class sagacity in a rigid exam- ination bv Prof. Alan Davis. Those forty-niners who have dug the deepest into the archives of learning are Elaine Cutter, Priscilla Stultz, Patricia Theriault, Thomas DeWolfe, Delores Johnson, john Macl-Iardy, Virginia Van Der Voort, Evelyn Francoeur, Shirley Karstensen, Patricia Young and Jeannette Crooker. The proficiencies of this group of forty-niners are as varied as those valorous men of old, for in addition to those obtaining recognition in the field of scholar- ship, Spencer, Mitch, Plummer, Hebert, Shaw, Davis, LeTarte and Randall went out for basketball, Caputo, LeTarte and Blanchard were active in the football squad with Blanchard being the only Freshman to gain a letter, D. Martin and R. LeTarte represented the class in the girls' basketball team. In caravan sixteen the vital smile of Miss Matthews warms even the most reluctant of hearts and gives the students the vigor to get through the day. The students of this caravan were unfortunate in having Miss Matthews absent for four weeks, but Mrs. Weir served commendably in her absence. The forty- niners of caravan sixteen boast of their original Sinbad in Dick G., who was pic- tured for the daily paper in his model recluse studing his Latin! Is it that unusual, Dick? The animated spirit of caravan fourteen is kept astir by the most viva- cious personages, such as Philip W. and Nancy S. Is it the spirit of forty-nine, Mr. Davan, that gives you those throbbing headaches during assemblies? How about it, students in caravan twenty-two. As the forty-niners journey on, a few will be lost in the desert, but we expect eventually to reach our goal after four years of arduous study and fre- quent recreation, gathering along the way lasting friendships and cherished memories.
