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.

B arbara Seawvay Class Report When school opened the thirtieth day of August, there was a large Freshman' Class with an enrollment of 57 pupils. This number contained students from Masardis, Portage, Ashland, Garfield, Winterville, Squa Pan, Connor Plantation. Sheridan. and Frenchville. The welding oi this motley group into a coherent class began in earnest on October 18 when we held OUI first class meeting to elect the officers to guide us through the year. The Freshman Reception was held at the Ashland Grange Hall on October 26. In accordance with stern Sophomore com- mands. each girl was dressed like a baby with white stockings, white shoes. baby dresses and bonnets. and wore nipples on 8 strings around their necks. They also carried dolls and other childish accessories. The boys wore women's night gowns. scarls on their heads, women's bedroom slippers and lipstick. After this ordeal we felt that we had earned the right to be full- tledgecl students of A. H. S. On Ianuary 7 and March 25 the Freshmen sponsored socials at the school house. Dancing and games were enjoyed and re- freshments were sold. Each of these socials resulted in a pleasant social evening of dancing and general fun. ' FRONT ROW-lett to right: I. King. L.
