V THE AROOSTOOKAN at the county and state meets--such a showing as the school has never made before. Those starring in baseball are: Whitten, Blanchard, Rees, McCrum, and Hussey. On track, Lello, Tomp- kins, Benson, S. MacPherson, and E. McPherson. Debating became our specialty. The team was made up entirely of seniors: Helen McCrea, John Edmunds, Paul- ine Gillen, and Shirley Wilson. They were fortunate in having Miss Barat- tiero for Qeir coach. They worked diligently during debating season and won a tripto Bates College. We feel that on the whole we have been an extraordinary class, and regret that we must wend our way into other unknown parts. We hope we shall be missed, and shall have made A. C. I. a better place for our having been here and given our best. Cl Cl JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY September 17, 1934 marked the en- trance of not only one of the largest classes that ever entered A. C. I., but also one of the best. On that day eighty one, not too green, freshmen wandered helplessly here and there trying to find not only the right church but also the right pew . To welcome our entrance the sopho- mores entertained us at the Freshman Reception--or rather We entertained them. After the initiation there was an informal dance. Our talent was mostly musical and the first year we gave nine members to the orchestra and seventeen to the glee club. We also gave one member to the debating team, four to girls' basketball, one to boys' basketball, one to baseball, two to the track team, four to cross-country and two to winter sports. At the beginning of our sophomore year our number was decreased to sixty eight. We gave only eight to the or- chestra, one to debating, two to cross- country, one to boys' basketball and two to track, but we gave four to girls' basketball, three to baseball and seven to winter sports. More members were to drop out be- fore the beginning of our junior year and at that time we had only fifty eight members. In spite of this fact we gave seven to the orchestra, seven to girls' basketball, one to boys' basket- ball, three to the glee club, nine to winter sports, three to baseball' and two to track. Our Junior Exhibition was agreat success with twelve members taking part. The prizes were awarded to Frances Irvine, Amy Libby, and Norma White. Frances Irvine was chosen to represent A. C. I. at the Spear Contest. Also one of the members of our class, Violet Dyer, was chosen to go tothe University of Maine to speak. Next year, as seniors, we hope to go on to greater success and honors. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On October 3, 1935, over one hund- red freshmen marched into their rooms and took up their new duties as stud- ents of A. C. I. At the Freshman Reception the freshmen were christen- ed by the upper classmen. They re- sponded well to the school spirit which prevailed. The Freshman Class could boast its share of sportsmen in baseball, basket ball, track, and winter sports. Two freshmen belonged to the orchestra, while many others joined the glee club. Gerald Keenan was the president of this Freshman Class. At the end of the year the class had a school picnic at Nickerson Lake. On June 26, 1936, school closed for the summer vacation, and the Freshman Class marched out, never to be freshmen of A. C. I. again. On October 5, 1936 the class again came back to A. C. I., this time as

THE AROOSTOOKAN sophomores. The class has an enroll- ment of eighty-seven. At the class election Gerald Keenan was again elected president. Marion Sanborn was chosen vice president and Anna Shaw secretary and treasurer. Members of the student council from the Sophomore Class are Gerald Keen- aln, Wesley Anderson, and Joyce Sti- t am. Many sportsmen went out for basket ball, baseball, cross-country, track, and winter sports. Harold Townsend, a champion skier, was the winner of the ski race down Mars Hill Mountain during the winter carnival. Members of the orchestra from the Sophomore Class are Alma Carle and Dawn Dunphy. Many of the sopho- mores belong to our glee club. Several students took the First Aid Course, instructed by Mr. Carpenter. This course offered helpful information in case of accident or sudden illness. On April 13, three sophomores con- tended with students from other class- es in the annual speaking contest. Gerald Keenan, who won the boys' first prize, represented A. C. I. at the speaking contest held at the University of Maine on April 30. As this class comes to the end of the sophomore year, we look back on our pleasant times at Aroostook Central Institute, and hope to see our fellow classmates next year. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshmen class assembled in the auditorium with an enrollment of fifty-four students. We listened with interest to the words spoken by our beloved principal, Mr. Perkins, and yet our minds dwelt upon the reception we were to receive from the upper classmen. For three days we were made to wear hideous clothes which embarrassed us to tears but which delighted the seniors to the extent of hilarious laughter. Then came the fatal night. We were requested--or commanded, you might say--to make speeches b e f o r e the faculty and upper classmen. Rather harsh punishment, but it furnished the spectators entertainment -- at our ex- pense! However we took it in good part and are no worse for wear, but far better sportsmen. As we found our place in school and extra curricular life, we gave three boys to baseball, three boys to track, seven boys to cross-country, six girls to the glee club, four girls to basket- ball, five members to the art club, and three members to the student council. Miss Barattiero's freshmen room had the honor of winning the Home-Room Contest this year. Although this is only our first year here, we feel quite satisfied with what we have done, and we feel certain that we'll do better next year. N'-me
