We welcomed two new members from Milo-loan and Donald Pierce. Donald left school shortly after potato-picking recess. but it is rumored that he plans to return next fall. There was a big change in the class this year. The members all seemed very ambi- tious. To start the year's activities, the class held the first social. It proved to be one of the more successful of the year. To further increase our assets, the class voted to pay individual class dues. Our next financial undertaking was the purchase of different articles on which we sold raffle tickets. The boys secured a tur- key and the girls a bed spread. We did very well on these projects. During the skating season the class sold candy from a small booth beside the rink. This activity was a convenience to the skaters as well as a financial help to the class. The high-light of the year was the Iunior Prom. For this occasion we engaged one of the better orchestras of the county. The hall was decorated in the mood of St. Valen- tine. The event added up to a good crowd and a good time. In April, ten of the members of the Iunior Class will participate in the Prize Speaking Contest to be held at the Congregational Church. The winners will represent the school at the Aroostook Central League Contest at Mapleton.

H azel Garrity Class Report A world-shaking event happened in 1948 -the arrival of our class at Ashland High School with a representation of fifty-four. We welcomed some new members: Hazel Garrity and Barbara West of Portage. and, later in the year, Winnefred McHatten of Mars Hill. Probably due to the pranks and antics of some of our members the Iuniors early informed us that Sophomore means wise fool . If true. we were not long in proving that it meant wise folks , for we had four members on the A honor roll and twenty- two on the A-B at the end of the first rank- ing period. When we beheld the motley gathering in the Freshman Room. we could see that they were really green and needed in- struction in more than books. Feeling sorry for them we decided to first inspire their childish minds with proper respect for the Sophomores. After much planning the Freshman Reception was held on Novem- ber 5, 1948. It was a happy night for the Sophomores and a wholesome lesson'for the Freshmen. For a time our class sponsored dancing lessons, instructed by Mr. Dana Small of Presque Isle. High school students only were allowed to take these lessons. These dancing lessons were an innovation in the school and a welcome addition to our extra-curricular activities. We hope the school will see fit to continue this activity in future years. FRONT ROW-left to right: P. McNamara. H. Howe. H. Garrity, S. Kirk, L. Tibbetts. LB. Morrison. F. Sutherland, A. Currier.
