4 THE MEGUNTICOOK SENIORS CLASS HISTORY The members of the Class of 1960 were not as confident and self-assured four years ago as we like to think we are now. Certainly, that first day of high school was worse than any we have had since then. But after the dust had settled, we took our lowly places, proceeded to study, and never forgot to pay due respect to all seniors. The freshman year was a quiet one, with occasional dances and the “CHS News” capturing most of our attention, outside of studying. Our class officers for this year were President: Thelma Wooster, Vice-President: Peter Hart. Secretary: Betsy Crockett, and Treasur- er: Raymond Dr ink water. When school began the next fall, we were very much at home and felt a silent sympathy for the “poor freshmen”. Class officers were President: Edward Ball, Vice-President: John Moeling, Secre- tary: Betsy Crockett, and Treasurer: Rodney Megquier. A “Spring Hop” was held at the Snow Bowl on April 11, 1958. At the end of our sophomore year we be- gan planning a project to be carried through to our junior year at CHS. The project was a doll to be outfitted and raf- fled off, with each class member selling tickets. Our third year at Camden High was a very eventful one. Class officers elected for the year were President: Sharon Thornall, Vice-President: Thelma Woost- er, Secretary: Bernice Gamage, and Treasurer: Brenda Hart. The Harvest Ball was held in October and, for the first time, a new idea was used: to have records and informal dress. Six girls and four boys took part in the Junior Speaking Exhibition at the Congregational Parish House on March 30, 1959. Mary Jane Hammill and Harvey Kelley were chosen to participate in the Knox-Lincoln League Speaking Contest. Other projects included food sales, and a car wash. The Junior Prom was held on May 1, with a Japanese theme. The Maine Bears pro- vided the music and everyone had a won- derful time. The last duty of the class was to decorate the stage for graduation. There were also the marching practices under the direction of Mr. Goodridge. Our class colors are light blue and royal blue. At last the day arrived when we en- tered the doors of CHS as mighty seniors. But seniors must study too, so things soon settled down to the regular routine. Nevertheless, studying did not interfere in our fun and class work. The first big project we worked on was the Senior Show, which was held October 23, at the Opera House. This show brought out a lot of the hidden talent in the class and was a tremendous success. Basketball concessions followed the Senior Show and most of the class helped with this under- taking. Forty-five seniors and four chap- erones left Bangor on April 15, for Wash- ington, D. C. A week later we all returned, a more informed and tired group than when we left the week before. When senior averages were announced, Mary Jane Hammill was named valedic- torian, and Nancy Rankin was named sa- lutatoriam The “Megunticook” Board was named and those chosen have been scurrying around, gathering material for the yearbook. After we receive our diplomas and leave Camden High School to take our places in the world, we will look back on these four years as the best years of our lives.
