Senior Class History On September 8, 1944, we entered McKinley High School as freshmen. Our class had 19 members. Our teachers were Mr. Arthur Cole, Miss Ethel Rand, and Mrs. Maude Stin- son. As soon as we were settled, the sophomores gave a reception in our honor. This event gave us much pleasure and enabled us to get better acquainted with our schoolmates. Later in the year we gave a card party which produced a little money for our treasury. We started our sophomore year by giving the freshman class a fine re- ception. Our numbers were de- creased to nine members this year. Those who left our class were An- drew Gove, Jennie Violette, Theodore Stinson, Barbara Stinson, Brooksie Thompson, Elmer Dow, Jr., Russell Bray, Maurice Hardy, Helen Smith, and Henry Bray. In the spring we participated in a sophomore recital. First prize went 'to Elizabeth Hill, second prize to Charlotte Hutchinson, third prize to Mary Alice Barbour, and honorable mention to Richard Knowlton. We later took a trip to Bar Harbor, Where Elizabeth Hill and Richard Knowlton spoke in the Hancock County Speaking Contest. ' At the Quadrangular Speaking Contest held in Deer Isle, William Goodrich of Stonington was awarded first prize, Madeline Means of Brooklin, second prizeg and Charlotte Hutchinson of Deer Isle, third. At the beginning of our third year we welcomed three new teachers. The Six Principal, Mr. Murdock Matheson, taught science and mathematics and coached our athletics. Mrs. Frieda Matheson taught government, Eng- lish, and Latin, and Miss Maude Thayer taught French, English, and dramatics. Richard Knowlton left us this year to attend school in Fairfield. In December Miss Marion Jaques joined our faculty as instructor of music. She organized a chorus and an orchestra. Basketball for both boys and girls was introduced this year. We en- joyed trips to most of the surround- ing towns. On March 3, under Miss Thayer's supervision, we presented our first play, Who Killed Aunt Caroline? At the beginning of our senior year we found our school had be- come a six year high school. Miss Thayer did not return, and her place was taken by Mrs. Margaret Eaton, who taught arithmetic, Americanhis- tory, and French, and coached dra- matics. Mr. George Adamian taught seventh and eighth grade subjects, civics, and coached boys' athletics. Richard Knowlton again joined our class. We started work early on The Gathererf' On Armistice Day we presented the play Free Advice. In March three honor parts were awarded to Elizabeth Hill, Mary Alice Barbour, and Priscilla Capen. We are now laying plans for Com- mencement week and for our class trip, which we hope to take after graduation.

Mary Alice might qualify as our most versatile. She is equally adept at juggling a basketball, singing in the church choir -and the glee club, and keeping the home fires burning. As class president, she has presided over our meetings with dignity and firmness5 as head librarian she has kept the library running smoothly. Farmington Teachers' College will surely agree with us that Mary Alice is some nice!!

' Puss is a lively brunette, with personality plus. She is so meticulous she has found herself, at one time or another, burdened with the secretaryship of practically every organization. Although it's a woman's privilege to change her mind we've noticed that, at least in one respect, Puss seems to have her mind settled. We're not absolutely certain of her plans for the future but we are pretty sure that Milt will have a part in them.

One red streak down the street must be our famous traveling cyclist on his Whizzer . Duck sure knows his engines! He knows a car from bumper to bumper, and as a practical scientist he excels. But wait just a minute! Did we hear a shout? Donald missed the nail and hit his finger? Oh, well, even the most expert scientist will make a mistake once in a while. He enjoys anything that risks life and limb. We're sure he could take part in the Ice Follies -he has acquired the great art of jump- ing ice cakes.
