THE MEGUNTICOOK 5 Now with practically four years of high school behind us, we're looking forward to our planned trip to Washington in April, our Quebec trip in May, and our graduation week in June. For some, grad- uation will be the last of school, for others, just the beginning, but for all it will end one of the most memorable times of our lives. We hope that future senior classes will sometimes look back and recall that notorious class of '48. - C H S - SENIOR AVERAGES 1. Barbara Burrage ............. .. 95.31 2.

Pm sure we'll miss the basketball, Softball and baseball, too, And the times We heard that grand old band Play songs both old and new. You remember that Freshman Reception.- All the jokes the Seniors played, How we waited impatiently for the time When our debts could be repaid. The memories of our Junior year Will always linger on- The niglrt we dressed in tuxs and gowns And attended the Junior Prom. Our graduation will soon be here- The time for ia last goodbye, But we'll never forget the good days We had at Camden High.

4 THE MEGUNTICOOK SlENlOR SlECTllON We started back in 1944 as a class of very green Freshmen. The first day in high school, we were amazed at the free- dom and ease with which the upper class- men did their work. We wondered if we would ever be as great as they. Our first big event was Freshman Re- ception. How this year's Freshman Class would have laughed if they could have seen the mighty Seniors then. After a whole week, Cwe were the last class to have it a whole weekj the climax was reached on Friday night-Friday, the 13th of October, to be exact. We all had a good time that night and escaped without the smallest scratch. We were now offi- cially accepted. Basketball season began and several of our boys and girls went out for it. Others watched the Near- Championship Boys, Team win almost every game, but lose at the crucial game with Rockland. Summer came and was followed by fall and we were Sophomores. We happily watched the antics of the Freshmen and wondered if we ever could have been like that. Several of our girls played on the Championship Basketball Team. Summer came again, again followed by fall, and we were Juniors. It gave us a feeling of superiority to sit in the back half of the Main Room where the Seniors sat. We had a Junior Prom that year. Everybody that went had a good time, but it could hardly be called a success. In June we marched down the aisle and took our places in the front rows and watched the Seniors graduate. We were sorry to see them go, but glad that we had finally made it. We were Seniors! Summer passed quickly, and we started back to school for our fourth and last year. The first thing we thought about was Freshman Reception. We had a hard time agreeing on the date, but finally, after many discussions it was decided upon. We tried to be hard on the Freshmen and make them do in two days all the things we had been made to do in five. We thought of making them march down Main Street preceded by the band, but that idea was abandoned when we found we needed a license to parade. The Night Reception was the best since we've been in high school, except possibly our own. Just about then, we got our class rings. We were now officially Seniors. In October we took our trip to the White Mountains that had been promised us in place of our Junior Class Trip. Those that went will never forget the ride up and back, the trip up Cannon Mountain in the Tramway, the view from the top, the Old Man of the Mountains, and the many other things we crowded into that one eventful day. In November the cast was chosen for the Senior play and the play was presented on the 18th of December at the Opera House. We had a good turn-out and had at last accomplished something that was a complete success.
