6 THE MEGUNTICOOK and soon after that came our senior play. The members of our class who had done so well in the school plays plus a few new personalities com- bined to produce a terrific success. Christmas came and with it a lovely Christmas ball. We realized that April was but a few short months away and we still needed Over a thou- sand dollars! The Show Boat! No more need be said. Everyone knows how we worked and what we achiev- ed. With the aid of our dear friend Mr. Charles Wood, and several oth- ers, and a few more food sales, we had our quota. Although we couldn't decide till the last minute how we would travel, we finally departed in two wonderful McLaughlin buses, each equipped with a marvelous per- sonality in the form of Henry and Clay. The weather was perfect and with Mr. Payson as our guide, we had a never - to - be - forgotten trip. Back to school and the voting for class parts and gowns. Then the choice of our announcements, and now here we are. Just where we saw the '49ers a year ago. Are those tears in your eyes? Well, I dOn't doubt it. Wc've nad our troubles, but with such a wonderful group of good sports and teachers and underclassmen, how could we help but hate to leave? You'll see us aroundg some only during va- cations, but we just couldn't stay away too long. We, the class of '50, wish to you, our good friends and supporters, all the luck in the world and all the fun 11. Margaret Connelly 90.5 12. Robert Davis 90.1 13. Dirk Brown 90.1 14.

THEMEGUNTICOOK 5 f .X ff .f ' 791 .fy ' Y Wagvz ff X . if .QL 7 I , f 'Q i' 13' Nearly four years ago ithirty-six months, to be exactl a strange. awe- ful group of children entered Camden High School. After a few weeks of getting adjusted, the mighty seniors invited us up to the main room. They taught us the school song and in- formed us that during our two-day initiation we must be able to sing it to any senior who so requested. This was only the beginning! When it was all over, though, we felt much more a part of things and the seniors were really very understanding. Somehow we d'idn't seem to accomplish much, except for having fun, the first year. We did manage to have a picnic dur- ing graduation week, however. We had big ideas the next year. We looked down from our domain, the main room, at the poor freshmen and were thankful we had passed that stage. A class meeting was held to elect two new class officers and ano- ther student council representative. Later an Intramural Council was formed and we contributed four able members. The Snow Bowl was the scene of a wonderful party that win- ter. It was the sophomores finally be- having themselves and accomplishing something. We were juniors! The back of the main room was all ours! Would we go to Washington? We certainly would! We had food sales as often as possible and in October we had a x7bi,DLf?f Hayseeders' Ballu which was such a success that we said we would have another the next fall. Then, of course, our Junior Prom. Another success! What if we did make only 3518.05- we had fun! Always ahead of us was one goal, a Washington trip, and al- ways behind us was Miss Keating, pushing us on. Oh, that glorious day in May when we chose our class rings! We didn't see how we could possibly wait for them until October, but it was well worth it. Soon came June and graduation. How wonderful to march with the seniors! And as we sat in the front rows of the Opera House watching our good friends, the '49ers, receive their diplomas, we all felt a strange sense of realization come upon us. One year from now are will be up there doing the very same thing! We will be graduating! September 1949 came at last. Se- niors! Oh, those poor little freshmen! Did we actually ever look so small and insignificant? Although we weren't allowed to give them the same sort of treatment we had received, the fresh- men proved to be wonderfully good sports and we all had lots of fun. Our first real excitement came with Jack- son-White who took our pictures. Then our rings came, and also our proofs. VVe were really living the busy lives of seniors. Gosh, it was fun! We carried out our plans re- garding another Hayseeders' Ball
