Q-gs T' .5E5v .,:-' 1' --V V. . v- Y-7---Y---Y----1. HHSHMA HISHIRY P x 7 September, l9h8, eight eager eyed, shy freshmen entered Andover High school: four boys -- Jack Wolf, Bland Fortney, Leland Borg, and Bobby Berry, four girls -- Laura Brown, Ruby Holloway, Dorothy Donaldson, and Vonna Scott. Bobby Berry left to join the Navy, and later, Virginia ROb6PtS and Kenneth Mills joined the class. Our class officers are: President-- Jack wolf, Vice President--Leland Borg, Secretary-Treasurer--Vonna Scott, Reporter--Dorothy Donaldson. ' shortly after they galloped upstairs, the upper classmen initiated them, in order to make them feel at home in the high school. The girls were pretty in ten beribboned pigtails, shorts and long shirts. The boys wore their hair parted in the middle, and they also wore shorts and shirts. The Freshmen had to bow to all seniors and carry their books to class. That evening, there was a big all-school party in the Augusta park honoring the Freshman. They had to not only hunt the weiner sticks, but after the roast they had to extinguish the fire by crawling on their hands and knees from the pump to the fire, carrying water in their mouth. The meal was over: we all then enjoyed a nice time at the skating rink. In the all-school carnival, in which everyone participated, the freshmen ran a novelty booth. The girls did most of the work, while the boys were running around helping everyone else. The Freshmen netted a good income for the night. Five girls and four boys are near the finishing line. They have striven, played, and heckled the teachers for nine monthsgare now .about to take a step to the next grade, envying perhaps the seniors, who are graduating this year. While the seniors will probably look back to the freshman and say, 'I wish I could live that life over again.' I7

SE Nl QR PL A7 The Senior Class presented, 'The Improper Henry Propper , Friday night, April 22, 19149 On the day of her wedding to an impoverished Euro- pean prince, Billie Vandercoff, an American heiress, elopes with her family chauffeur, Henry, his name is-- Henry Propper--but to B1ll1e's domineering mother he's far from that! She and the Prince overtake the eloping pair in a Florida hotel--just in time to prevent their marriage by a local justice of the peace. Taking pos- session of her daughter, Mrs. Vandercoff bars Henry from his own honeymoon suite, and makes plans to marry Billie and the Prince right then and there. With the aid of his best friend, Sid, Henry tires to save Billie from the impending ceremony, and to get in to talk to her, he masquerades as a colored maid. In the meantime, Sid's wife, Dora, and her wisecracking sister, Bonnie, believing Sid is the one eloping, have followed him to the hotel. Henry tells Billie to go through with the ceremony with the Prince,that he has bribed the Justice of the Peace to read his name instead of the Pr1nce's, and from his disguise as a chambermaid, Henry will call out 'I do.n As he has a license, they will be married right in front of her mother's eyes. The plan seems ideal, after many lively mix-ups, Henry finds himself married all right, but married to Mrs. Vandercoff. She is just as thunderstruck as he is,for by marrying again she loses control of her fortune. However, all's well in the end,as the last ceremony unites the right couple and the widow's fortune is partially restored.
