8 THE MEGUNTICOOK . . . . . . and thiiigs to 7'6WL9'WLbG7 Sept. 4, 1943-Today I went to high school! Although I think every- one tried not to show it, we felt more than a little nervous. No one was courageous enough to go in first so the teachers had to come out and get us finally. We were then herded into Miss Clason's or Miss McCobb's room like a flock of lost sheep. fYou should see all the books and assignments they gave urs. We thought they were kid- dinglj Sept. 20-Ohhhh! How I wish this week were over. What will the seniors fwritten with reverencel think of next? Comb my hair in fourteen pigtails-how will I ever do it! But the laugh of the day was Warren in a skirt! Sept. 22-Our first class meeting. Clf you could call it thatg we were so noisy and didn't agree once.J Miss McCobb and Mr. Shibles are our class advisors, and after a close vote Dave got the presidency with Pat as vice president, Myrna as sec- retary, and Eleanor as treasurer. Sept. 24-FRESHMAN RECEPTION! I think everyone of us must have turned pink, green, and yellow be- fore the evening was over-but at last! We're really in high school. 3-First exams. I thought the studying was pretty difficult, but these exams are awful. Do the teachers think we are the Quiz Kids? Nov. 10-Report card day . . I passed. . . 6-Our first basketball game. It was so exciting, I got hit in the eye with the ball-but we won. 5-A freshman party! With our class advisors we had a wonderful time at the Snow Bowl skating, ski- ing etc. 28-I can't do my algebra, and Latin is Greek to me. June 15-Graduation. I'm a sopho- more. Sept. 4, 1944-Nou' we can watch the frosh suffer. Jan. 5-I guess no one will ever forget the game tonight. It was with our old rivals, Rockland, at the Y g was that place bursting with peo- ple! We sophs boasted some out- Nov. Jan. Feb. Feb. standing players and five new cheerleaders! March 21-Camden High School was pretty disappointed today. Rock- land took away the championship title by only a few points. June 14-It doesn't seem possibleg another whole year has zoomed by. Sept. 21-Again we can enjoy the Freshman Reception. Just one more year! 27-At last! The result of com- bined brainstorms is the Junior Prom. We never managed any- thing like this before, but we can try. Dec. 19-We didn't think it would be a success fand the teachers were sure of it.J But it was, and although the weather didn't co-operate, ev- eryone had a wonderful time. 21-Mr. Shibles left today and along with him went his stories Guess we're going to miss him, but Mr. Richards is nice too. Mar. 20-Two ideas in one year! What ever happened? We'd like to try to earn money for our class to go to W'ashington, so the Ways to Get The Means committee was created with Gib as chairman. At least we can try again. April 25-The class officers chose four class rings today and then we voted on the one we liked best. It was close but the one we thought was different won out. March-Our committee made S38 on the Sadie Hawkins dance we gave. That's a start, anyway. June 10-We Juniors have been march- ing around the Opera House for days trying to do it right, but each time the teachers would shake their heads-and we'd do it over again. June 13-All morning we spent decor- ating for tonight. Just think, that's where we will be next year. Sept., 1946-Here we are again! Does it feel good to be a mighty senior. Sept. 18-Our first class meeting as sen- iors. We elected the committees for the initiation of the Frosh. Sept. 24-The class rings came today. Do they look nice! Oct. 11-Freshman Reception-Only the boot is on the other foot now. How long have we waited for this! Nov. Jan.

10 THE MEGUNTICOOK Ccwltovz P. Wood, our principal I think our first actual meeting with Mr. Wood was in the eighth grade and high school was still the far-off dream in the future. We hardly realized that when this kindly man with the twinkle in his eye explained to us the different courses of instruction that we were plan- ning our whole lifetime. But we were to see more of him-yes, hardly a day would go by from the time we were timid Freshmen to the mighty Senior that we wouldn't see Mr. Wood. Per- haps it was in an assembly reminding us gently that our ranks were not quite what they should be, or was it when you wanted that excuse and he gave it to you, believing your sincerity ? Maybe it was only the time he smiled at you as we passed out to lunch that will remain in your memory. We have tried his kind and everlasting patience, but that twinkle never left his eye. We, the class of '47, wish you the best of every- thing always. Frederick Rvlchcwds, our class advisor From the time We entered high school we heard endless talk about Mr. Richards, but our first encounter didn't come until the middle of our Junior year. Since then we have come to know and to like this Navy man as a teach- er, a class advisor, and as a friend. Al- though he keeps strict order in his classes and study halls, we have all found that he has a fine sense of humor. It was rather a startling thing to be ad- visor to such a class as ours, but he proved immediately to be more than capable for the task, giving us help and opinions on all matters. To you, Mr. Richards, we extend our appreciation for all the time and patience you have spent with us. Ethel Oliver, one home room teacher We didn't have classes with Miss Oliver until our Junior year, but ever since we can remember we have run to her with all our problems no matter what they were.
