Jhu ut lies A total of 51 students enrolled at Woodstock in September. Since that time seven students have left: Eleanor Cox, Peter Cox, Rita Pingree, Gayle Kennison, )i in Sprague, Charlene Sprague, and Herschel Reed. We missed Leon Poland, Margaret Henley, Charlotte Schultz, Elaine Cushman, and Robert Sweetser, who did not return this year. We also welcomed a new student, Herbert Hatfield, who hails from South Paris. This year the Freshman Reception policy was changed. The seniors gave the freshmen a party instead of a hazing. A full length movie, “It Came From Outer Space”, was shown. Each freshman had to wear a cap and name his favorite senior girl or boy. In September we had a magazine drive for the Curtis Publishing Co. Otir profit was $140. Managers were chosen from each class, and prizes were given ;o the five highest salesmen. I he highest salesman was Geraldine Cushman, with Nadine Waterhouse second. Because of the crowded classrooms in the grades, the back of the main room was partitioned off into a classroom for the 7th and 8th grades. Mr. Toothaker is their teacher for most subjects. Mrs. Herrick is their English teacher, and Mr. Purinton has math class. For High School subjects, Mr. Toothaker has U. S. History, Biology, and Civics. Alter these grades leave, the room will be used for a hbraiy. Ea. n c.ass now has a home room. The Seniors have the English room, the juniors the Commercial room the Freshmen and Sophomores the main room. For a while we had two Post Graduate students with us, John Chase and Evelyn Bean. About the middle of the year both left for jobs. Evelyn is now employed at the South Paris Casco Bank, and John is working in the woods. The junior girls have been responsible for gathering ads for the Eureka. We also have printed three Eureka Jrs. to date. The next edition will be the senior's responsibility and the profit will belong to them. All classes have been working hard ter earn money by sponsoring cowboy shows, dances, paper drives, and various other activities. As usual, the Junior Class has the candy concession, profits from the coca-cola machine go to the school. Our thanks to Sam Sumner who sells the coke and tends the machines. The Senior Class has been very busy this year. September 20, they went to Portland to have their pictures taken. Some also visited the Poland Spring TV station. On October 8, the Commercial Law Class and other Seniors visited a court session at South Paris; we also visited some of the business places of interest. The Student Council took a big step this year by joining the National Association of Student Councils. On October 26 they went to West Paris to a meeting of their Student Council to gain new ideas and organization methods. A welcome addition to the commercial room this year was the presence of two new typewriters and also typing chairs. This year also, the High School and grade students have the chance to attend dances sponsored by the Alumni. These dances every Saturday night are enjoyed very much, as more and more students are learning to dance and taking part. Mr. Fred Marshall of Rangeley has been giving baton-twirling lessons, for a small fee, to students i i the grades and hign school who wish to take them. Those in the high school taking the course are Leatrice Farnum and Nadine Waterhouse. 21
