'K 621,44 .Maforg It was a long jaunt from the Rundlett Iunior High School to dear old Concord High, but we finally arrived in the fall of '38, a contingent of bashful, befuddled students, groping our way through long corridors filled with hordes of mighty seniors, merely regarding us as just one of those things that have to come about sooner or later. Since that time we have come a long way and proved our worth in many fields. On hand to greet us as we wended our way up the wide stone steps of Concord High School, was Mr. Chamberlain. With his jovial smile he started us on our career. No sooner had we organized ourselves than Bob Blood came to us to announce the fall of the Student Association and the rebirth of the Student Council. Within a few weeks this was accomplished and stu- dent activities were running smoothly. We survived the wintry blasts of '38 and watched the band and choir trek to Worcester to bring back one ratings from the New Eng- land Festival. All of a sudden, appearing from nowhere, came a huge donation from the citizens of Concord, and We again bade the band farewell, for they were off to the World's Fair. Presently Mr. Chamberlain left for New York State and Mr. Reed was installed as Headmaster with Mr. Bourne taking over Mr. Reed's former duties as Submaster. With the beginning of our Iunior year, we noticed many more changes in the teaching staff. Miss Frost, a Home Economics teacher, arrived to take Miss Knox's place, Miss Smith came with the resignation of our librarian, Miss Killeen, Mrs. Bidwell took Miss Rowe's position as Dean of Girls, and Miss Whiting came in Miss Hamlin's place to teach art. Much to our sorrow, Mr. Collins, our financial adviser, left us, but we were very fortunate in having Mr. Waldron on the teaching staff, for he immediately took over Mr. Col- lins' former duties. Again we stop a moment to mention the superior work the band and choir accomplished at the New England Festival in Lawrence, Mass. Before we realized it, our junior year was over and the School closed for the summer months. ln the fall we again greeted two new members of the teaching staff, Mr. Miller, who joined the Department of English, and Miss Horace, who joined the Commercial Department. It was during this fall that Coach Grover put forth a championship football team, that was spurred on by the introduction of night games. lncidentally, this did the gate receipts no harm. It is also worth men- tioning that the band gave some spectacular performances at these night games. We have come to the end of three eventful years in Concord High Schoolg may the students who follow us have as many happy days as we have enjoyed. 5
