J UNIORS The first class meeting of the class of '41 was called to elect the following officers: Joe Nickless, president, Earle Wescott, vice-pres- identg Dot Cushing, secretary, and Margaret Allen, treasurer. This class held a social which proved very successful, with Eddie Bachelor as chairman. The outstanding social function of this year, however, was the Jun- ior Prom. Margaret Allen was elected general chairman of this with Dorothy Cushing, chairman of the decorating committee, Earnest Leeman, chairman of music com- mittee, and Margaret Morrison, chairman of refreshment commit- tee. A queen, who was elected by pop- ular ballot, lead the grand march with her escort. The Ambassadors from Ellsworth furnished the music. Ice cream and cookies were served and coca cola was on sale. 1 This is what the Junior class has done together. It was necessary, however, for the class to be separa- ted into two home rooms this year. Miss Critchell's room has had a different form of government every six week period. Donald Grindle and William Abbott were the presi- dents. Miss Britton's room has had but one form of government throughout the yearg a democracy with Earle Wescott as president. They won the' honor banner and also the prize for 100 76 sale of Hillcrest pledges. And so we leave this class divid- ed until next year when they will be united by Mr. Mossler in the study hall. SOPHOMORES The apt saying, you can always tell a sophomore, but you cannot tell him much, is misapplied to the class of 1942, in as much as the members seem to have been told by the teachers so effectively that they have led the honor roll by a wide margin for three years. Nor is rank the only claim to fame. 42 has been Well represented on the teams, play casts, and operetta, while the band and orchestra seem almost a sophomore parade. The president is Norman Powers: Vice- Pres., Carroll Page, Secretry, Doris Harpeg and treasurer, Betty Boterf. The high point of the sophomore year was the sophomore social, at Halloween, at which there was more fun than profit. As a unit the class of 42 has not been active this year, but as individuals the members have ta- ken part in about every event of the year. The class is justly proud of the work of the Bucksport De- bating team because of its Sopho- more Representatives. It is also proud of its musicians, of Lizzie's flying fingers, of Willy's tooting and Jo's characterizations. Should you wish to make an est family of all the school superla- tives, the brightest, the prettiest, the noisiest, the most romantic, the funniest, yes, even the screwiest. vou have only to name Rosebush, Harpe. Nickless, Morse, Page, Web- ber: all typical sopohomores and all typical of the class of 1942. Page 27

The Robin Goodfellow of Bucksport High School Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known as Puck, was Shakespeare's lovable little rascal of Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare is noted for his ability to create types. We have one of the most glow- ing examples right here in this class. She may even now be sitting right next to you! Beware of her pranks! Like Puck she loves to prove what fools we mortals be. She likes nothing better than a good match and she carries her potion in the form of a spit ball. Robin Goodfellow spent all of his spare time teasing the toWn's folkg our little Puck amuses herself by tossing off fiippant replies to a certain geometry teacher. She is very impulsive and excitable. She may always be seen wildly cheering for the Brown Bombers at the ball games. She is like a streak of lightning that has borrowed the purple and white of the rainbow. Her eyes flutter like two little brown wrens, imprisoned behind walls of glass. Behind her restless and roughish manner lies a heart of gold. She may annoy you at tives with her jokes, especially if the jokes are on you !-but remember it's the Robin Goodfellow of the World that makes life worth living and a lot of fun! -Margaret Allen, '41.
