THE GATHERER 19 ANNUAL CURTIS DRIVE Shortly after school started this year, Mr. Robert Sprague, the Curtis Maga- zine representative, paid his annual visit to our school. He greeted us with his usual gaiety and made us laugh with his jokes about students and teachers. All too soon the fun and laughter ended, and the seriousness got under way. Mr. Sprague told us of the wonderful oppor- tunity for us to earn extra money for our school activities this year by selling a few worthwhile magazines to the peo- ple of our town. This opportunity was not to be all work and no fun. Wonder- ful prizes such as a watch or record player were offered for the first prize winner. A basketball, pen set, blanket, and many other worth while gifts were offered to other winners. Before Mr. Sprague left us he gave us some helpful pointers on selling techniques which we eagerly welcomed. Annette Shepard was chosen as the general manager of the Magazine Drive. It was her responsibility to collect all the money and subscriptions for each day from the class captains, and record the class progress each day. The class captains were: Senior rs,....... . ..,,.sss Annette Shepard Junior ss......., rsssss...,. S andra Eaton Sophomore .ss,. ..,r . ssss T homas Cole Freshman ,,.s.iss,sc.....,.

Thomas Colwell Our school quota this year was SL000, although we did not quite reach our quota we came very close by taking in 8899.52 The general fund received its share of the 95899.52 which was 323704. John Snowden was high salesman this year with 582.00 with Audrey Eaton a very close second with 2B81.13. John chose the record player for his prize and Audrey selected the Brownie Flash Camera. Claire Colwell was third. Her selection was a very warm blanket. There were twenty-one other prizes of- fered for the next twenty-one highest salesmen. We all enjoyed this years magazine drive and we are looking forward to the time next year when Mr. Sprague will pay us another visit. FRESHMAN RECEPTION Bright and early on a brisk Friday morning September 28, 1956, twenty- two conspirative and secretive sopho- mores began their pursuit of the ever anxious and excited Freshmen in order to begin to dress their subjects for the annual Freshman Initiation. These lit- tle green Freshies had to wear their crazy mixed up costumes everywhere they went during the day. It was cer- tainly a sight to see watching the new- comers submissively carrying tons of books for the respective individuals they were assigned to that day. At 7:30 that night the freshmen made their journey to the Town Hall to perform many humorous and exciting stunts. This year the ever imaginative sopho- mores had many new angles for their initiation. It was held at the Town Hall thus enabling for the first time in years the townspeople to attend. After the sophomores had finished torturing the poor scared little freshmen a record hop was held to prove that they weren't such monsters after all. One of the outstanding spectacles and sights of the evening was Marcia Eat- on's well performed stunt. The leading sophomores showed Marcia a dish of slimy ole' fish eyes telling her that she would have the great privilege of walk- ing through them barefoot and have the extreme honor of actually eating one of these delicacies. After Marcia was
