For the first time a girls' hockey team was organized. The greater part of the team consisted of freshman girls. It was an interesting sight to watch the team practice. We weren't supposed to let the hockey stick go above our shoulder when we swung at the ball. But, oh! We surely swung, and before the first two weeks of practice were over, everyone on the team had bruises to prove it. Those daring and courageous' freshmen taking part were Rena Jones, Judy Grifiiths, Rowena Merrill, Carol Vail, Lucille Godin, Georgette Gagne, and Shirley McLellan. The Freshman Class was well represented in athletics this year. Taking part in football were Robert Tourangeau, Donald LaFlamme, Arnold Chick, Robert St. Pierre, Emerson Trafton, Tommy Waters and Andre Lavoie. Our energetic boys taking part in basketball were Robert Tourangeau, Arnold Chick, Thomas Tuttle, Thomas Wilson, James Bryan, Adrien Boucher, Wayne Bonney, Robert St. Pierre, Philip Butterfield, Neal Doucette, Charles Conner, Peter Greene, Robert Thompson, Wilfred Leighton, Tommy Waters, and Philip Nielsen. Freshman girls playing basketball Were Peggy Hebert, our freshman foul shooting champg Rena Jones, Rowena Merrill, Ethelyne Billings, Laura Pratt, Judy Grifliths, Sandra Madsen, Jacqueline Jordan and Shirley McLellan. Freshmen taking part in the Glee Club were Laurette Bertin, Joan La- Brecque, Carrie Gallant, Janice Mondville, Betty Prince, Anne Pedneault, Carol Shaw, Alice Sidebottom, Elaine Young, and Basil Boobas. Members of our class who joined the Art Club at Christmas time made a twenty point star of Bethlehem built on the development of the icosahedron. Our freshman artists are Martha Merrill, Loretta Chaisson, Priscilla Hatt, Richard Plaisted, Janice Mondville, and Robert Field. Freshman skiers are Tommy Waters, Rowena Merrill, Rena Jones, Wayne Libby, Joe Shaw, Donald Mannett, and James Poitras. Donald LaFlamme is the only freshman on the track team. Only one freshman girl made the cheerleading squad, Marie Hansen. At the half year when Mr. Philbrook announced the honor roll, there were more freshmen than any other class. Those who made the major honor roll were Ethelyne Billings, Maxine Bonney, Donald Delisle, Rena Jones, Wilfred Leighton, Martha Merrill, Joseph Shaw and Shirley McLellan. On the Minor Honor Roll were William Annis, David Bois, Janice Boucher, Rosaire Gervais, Priscilla Hatt, Andrew Jensen, Nancy Lee Nielsen, Betty Prince, Thomas Tuttle, and Donald Waterhouse. Our Freshman Class has made a good beginning both scholastically and athletically. If we improve each year, we will be a class of which W. H. S. can justly be proud. SHIRLEY McCLELLAN

During January our class was grieved by the sudden loss of Philip Burrows, one of our finest boys. The sympathy of the entire student body and faculty, along with that of the Sophomore Class, goes out to those near to him. The sophomore boys are almost entirely known by wide variety of nick- names. Here are a few examples: Punchy Welch, Puffer' Snow, Rough Waters, Tick Davis, Black Market Labrecque, Grump,' Holston, Bumpy' Doucet, Dill Pickles,,' not to forget Mimi Bragdon, Hammy Hamilton and Big Jim Roby. 5 With such female members as Jean Raymond, Elaine Currier, Judy Chick, Lorraine Smith, Patty Reid, Suzanne Francoeur, Claire Begin, and Judy Bailey the Sophomore Class has a wide assortment of rare beauty which livens and glori- fies the class. Wayne MacDuffie, Bobby Beaudoin, Ronnie Gallant, and Donald Russell are always available to help the school Qif you can find their hiding placej . Leo Pratt is well on his way to becoming a great sport's magnate for magnetj , and all the girls swocn at Joey Richard and his beautiful wavy hair. A few of the quieter members of our class are Jeanine Qlireedaj Conant, Marian fuyou know what I heard j Conner, and Josie fuaw gee whizuj Pesce. We don't go around saying we are the best students in the school and we donit brag of our extra-curricular activities. QWe don't need to.j We feel that there is no better proof of our quality and achievements than the work itself. In the next two years just watch out for our dust for we intend to bring down the walls Qwhich wouldn't be very hardj cf Westbrook High and become the most memorable class in its history. CLARENCE DOUCET Glass Qf A 53 What a memorable day! On September 8, 1952, one hundred and sixty- seven timid freshmen entered the doors of Westbrook High School, where for the next four years they would spend a great amount of their time. This time would be spent working to achieve their goals and make themselves good citizens. Our first important step as freshmen was electing our class officers. This seemed to make up a more important part in the school. The following were elected: Philip Butterfield, president, Neal Doucette, vice-president, Joan La- Brecque, secretary, and Robert Tourangeau, treasurer. All Westbrook Night gave us freshmen the first chance to show our hid- den talents. Basil Boobas, a very talented pianist, and Robert Girard, a young man with a voice, were among the winners. Also taking part were our twins, Annette and Jeannette LeBel. October 11, at Freshman Reception, we were received by the seniors and the faculty. Now we really felt like members of Westbrook High School! Our talented freshmen taking part in the entertainment were Basil Boobas, Ann Burton, Robert Girard, Nathan Brackett, and Annette and Jeannette LeBel.
