THE AROOSTOOKAN Stitham. received lst prizeg,. Barbara Fenderson, 2nd, Frank Brown, 4th, Rhonello Tapley, 5th. V The Junior Class is also well represented in the various other activities. Many class- men take part in base ball, track, the Glee Club, the or- chestra, Commercial Club, Lit- erary Club, and Camera Club. As this year comes ,to a close, we look forward with mixed joy and regret to being seniors. We joyfully think of being on top with three groups of underclassmen below us, while we regretfully think of leaving this close substitute for home. CLASS OF '40 On October 5, 19562 a happy group of fifty-four oys and girls climbed the nhill of knowledgen on an educational tour of four years. The first few days were rath- er embarrassing to the ngreen freshmen,n as we were called by the upper classmen. During these days we were commanded to wear hideous clothes and to bow to our tormenters, the seniors. Then came the fatal night of Freshman Reception. At this affair we were ordered to make speeches before the faculty and upper classmen. Of course, this furnished a great deal of entertainment for our specta- tors--but how humiliating for us! However we proved our good sportsmanship by taking it all in good part. As the class took its place in the academic and extra-cur- rieular. life, we gave three boys to base ball, 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. - At our fall election we e- lected Philip Lawrence, presi- dent, Irene Kinney, vice-pres- identg Austin Griffin, secre- tary and treasurer. We ended our first year at A. C. I. with a picnic at 'Nick- erson Lake. We, as sophomores, again en- tered A. C. I. with an cn- rollment of fifty-four on Octo- ber 4, 1957. At the class election, Philip Lawrence was again elected president, Geraldine 'Keonan, vice-presidentg Robert Turner, secretaryg and Wilda Chase, treasurer. The three members to the Student. Council, this year, are Philip Lawrence, Beatrice Smith and Sylvanus Pierce. As sophomores, we gave ten girls to the Glee Club, four boys to base ball, five boys to track, two boys to cross coun- try, two members to debating, and three girls to basket ball. At the Senior Chapel in April, a nQuestion Been was held as part of the entertain- ment. This was made up of two members of each class and two members from the faculty. Two intelligent members from the Sophomore Class, Philip Law- rence and Irene Kinney, defeat- ed the other contestants with a score of 600 out of BOO pessi- ble points. Since we had de- feated our faculty members, we WCPO held in high esteem by our
