Early in the school year we held a class meeting in which we elected the class officers. We chose as president, Karl Diedrichseng vice president, Irene Damboiseg treasurer, Carlton Jimmo, and secretary, Alfred Cowett. Two of our class represented us in the Student Council. They were Frank Allen and Barbara Searway. On September 7, 1949, we held a meeting to decide on Freshman Recep- tion, and to find out when and where it would take place. We decided to hold this at the Grange Hall on October 21, 1949. The affair was very successful. The Sophomore Play, Candy Goes on a Diet was given at the new High School Gym on March 28, 1950. The cast, under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Dearborn, gave a grand performance. The cast included Barbara Searway, Norman Tucker, Joyce Reed, Frank Allen, Alfred Cowett, Dawn MacIntosh, and Carolyn Currie. Some of the Sophomore boys were active in basketball this year. They proved to be good winners as well as good losers.

The Junior Prom was held in the Ashland Community Gymnasium on April 14th. For this occasion we en- gaged a band consisting of school boys from Presque Isle, known as the Down- beats . Our first semi-formal dance, all hearts were afiutt-er and many an anxious eye spanned the skies that afternoon, fearful lest a stray April shower might ruin all that new finery. All went well, the Prom was a huge success and a happy group of Juniors wended their way homeward at a late hour.

The teachers and upperclassmen were alarmed when they watched the green Freshmen pass in view. But soon the Sophomores took command. The day of Freshman Recep- tion dawn-ed, and with it came the Freshmen in our weird attire. Boys wore make-up, bedroom slippers, bath- ing caps and girls' bathing suits over long underwear. The girls wore rubber boots and burlap sacks, tastefuly sashed with rope, over long underwear. Classes were delayed as we were re- quired to remove our footgear whenever we entered a room. But it was soon over, and we were allowed to take our right- ful places as the newest class of A. C. H. S. We sponsored two socials during the year, which were very successful. Our class officers were: President .,,...,., . . . ..-Paul Webber Vice President ....., .. .... .Marilyn Bartlett Secretary ...,.,,. , .. ,,,.,,.,Edna Rand Treasurer ,. Jeanette Prue
