s jctiviti eS c;lee club This year for the first time in three years we have a Glee Club, under the direction of Mrs. Merle Warner. Mrs. Warner has given us much of her time and effort to help us improve our club. I he (dee Club has participated in various activities in the town. We sang at the Pomona Grange and at the beginning of the year at the teachers reception. Our plans for the future are to have an Easter program on the radio and we are going to audition for the Youth Cavalcade show on television in April. We also sang at the Maine Music Festival at Rumford. DANCING A familiar scene around Woodstock High School on Friday morning is the dancing class. A group of the students gather in the gym under the direction of Mrs. Alice Dudley to dance the old dances and learn some new ones. We pay Mrs. Dudley by dropping a dime in a box and the first to pay places his or her name on a slip of paper and therefore gets a chance to choose a dance. These dancing lessons have helped a lot as I have noticed that more of the boys are dancing at our school parties. Evelyn Bean PUBLIC SPEAKING Those participating in Public Speaking this year are: Doris Brooks, Pearl Farrington, Charlotte Schultz, Elaine Cushman, Lorraine Billings, Denise Noyes, Kaye Ring, Leatrice Farnum, Samuel Sumner, John Cole, and Nadine Water- house.

During the regular season we lost only to Casco and Monmouth. The Tigers placed second in the regional and were elected to go to Lewiston. There we met Limington who set us down 51-50. Although the boys didn’t win this game, they all lotiglu hard and lost like true sportsmen. After the season was over, the Alumni gave a banquet for the Tigers and Tigerettes. It was a good supper and we appreciated it. 21
