Senior 611155 flistary In the fall of 1952, a group of uncertain students began their long journey through high school as Freshmen. Mr. Charles Partridge and Mr. Verne Byers were our advisors and prevented us from straying from our path. We chose Betty Casey as our President: Chrystal Craig, Vice President: Leah Bragdon, Secretary: and Gladys Cote, Treasurer: Donald Prue and Sally Baxter represented us in Student Council. Freshman Reception was soon upon us and we were forcibly initiated and became full fledged high school members. Our largest money-making activity was the Freshman's First Dance. Before we knew it, June came and we happily put away all thoughts of school for the summer, We returned in 1953. ready to resume our studies. Ralph Baxter and Burton deFrees be- came our new advisors. We elected Earle Weaver as President: Sonja Reed, Vice Presi- dent: Chrystal Craig, Secretary: and Sally Baxter, Treasurer: Dana MacDonald and Gladys Cote were sent to Student Council. Because of the resignation of Gladys, Chrystal Craig was elected as her replacement the latter part of the year. The big task of sponsor- ing Freshman Reception proved a real success. Again June came and we were ready to enjoy our vacation. We came back to school in 1954 as Juniors, realizing a big year ahead of us. With this thought in mind, we chose Dana MacDonald, President: Sally Baxter, Vice President: Carlene Fleming, Secretary: Earle Weaver, Treasurer: and Sonja Reed and Sheldon Casey, Student Council members. In November of 1954, some of our classmates became members of the National Honor Society. In an assembly, Earle Weaver, Chrystal Craig, Sally Baxter, and Dianne Drew were selected. During the early part of 1955. we pre- sented two plays, I Remember Mama and Mississippi Melody, under the direction of Mr. deFrees. In April, Junior Exhibition was held, with ten students participating. Earle Weaver and Chrystal Craig received highest honors while Norman St. Peter and Patricia Pelletier were named second place winners. Earle further proved his speaking ability by winning first place in the Central Aroostook League Speaking Contest, Boys' Division. In May, the long awaited Junior Prom was held. The gym was decorated in delicate spring colors and received the admiration of all present. Another summer lay before us and we anticipated the day when we would become Seniors. We assembled for our final year in 1955, by electing Dana MacDonald, President: Earle Weaver, Vice President: Sally Baxter, Secretary: and Leah Bragdon, Treasurer. Sheldon Casey and Sonja Reed represented us in Student Council, with Sheldon as President and Sonja, Vice President. November marked the addition of Melvin Gragam, Sonja Reed, Gladys Cote, Leah Bragdon, and Evelyn Soucier to the National Honor Society. We soon began the tremendous task of producing the Echoes of ACHS. Sally Baxter was selected as Editor of this project. In December, under the direction of Mrs. Rose Tilley, we presented, 'Curtain Going Up, a comedy, which was very favorably received. In February, Sally Baxter was elected by the faculty to represent ACHS as the annual DAR Candidate. In April we journeyed to Quebec City for our Senior Class Trip. We leave our high school days behind, our motto, Seize the Opportunity, uppermost in our minds. Although each of us goes his own way, we will often think of one another and of our experiences at Ashland Community High School. Chrystal Craig
