Girls' State, Boys' State Belvia, Bob They almost won the tournament too-run- ners-up in the State! Freshmen deserve to be proud of their issue of the Black and White. They did a fine job on their material and turned out a lot of interesting stories and original features. Anyone who forgets to buy a lunch ticket in the morning is fortunate to have Judy Grindle right there at the opportune time. She's been the high-school ticket. cashier all year. Goodness knows how many people she's kept from starving! Twelve college-bound students from the junior and sophomore classes are going to walk the U. of M. campus during High School Day at the university. The majority of the students are interested in the College of Agriculture g others are planning to visit the College of Education. Sophomores taking Driver Education are having fun' driving all over the county while Surrounded! the rest of us sit in study hall. Several have driven to Ellsworth, Blue Hill, and other pointsg and they will rotate on a trip to Orono soon. The last issue of the Black and White is in process. Seniors are doing a Commencement issue, highlighting class and graduation activities. That column of inside information on the class trip should be interesting read- ing! Baseball enthusiasts are warming up for their first game of the season, while the girls are organizing a softball team and anticipat- ing the first game against Brooks High. After hearing of the swell time Belvia had last year at Girls' State, possible girl dele- gates are dejected because it is Stonington's turn this year. Maybe before long a girl from each school can go each year. The boys are luckier. Bob gave a line talk in U. S.

The senior mothers are helping out im- mensely, an-d over sixty-seven dollars was earned from one supper alone. Mr. Glen Rodgers was here and talked with the seniors. He told of several places in Washington and near his town that they would enjoy visiting on their class trip. What a talk he gave in -assembly on Aberdeen High School! Everyone was on edge as he told of his teaching and the students there. It won't be long now. Here's the end of the third quarter. aoafzffa Qualzim The pace speeds up as we move into the final quarter. Our publicity gal! Eager-looking junior-high students are awaiting a trip to Augusta.. Some will be seeing the State House, the Blaine Mansion, and other points of interest for the first time. Movies like those we have had lately on Texas, Wyoming, and Nevada are a relief after having studied the Maine Constitution these last few weeks. We get strip films fair- ly regularly too. We'll be plunging into our United States history books again and ab- sorbing World Wa.r II. Some of us are glad we're not seniors. They've been digging for money all year, and graduation announcements just came! Soon they'll be paying for caps and gowns. See what's coming next year, juniors? Basketball season isn't over yet for the boys. The varsity team and several of the J ayvees are still practicing regularly with Mr. Gott and will get time out from school to travel to Togus and compete in the De Molay Tournament. Athletes do have an advantage! Did you say he was a cowboy? '0h, do You like it? HY0u,re dam tootinw,

From Santa Claus! And what a trip the seniors had! They spent a thrilling spring vacation seeing New York, Maryland, and Washington, D. C. The school is buzzing with names of new and famous places. This was the first class trip in many years, and the seniors hope other classes will be as fortunate. The teams were honored at the Basketball Banquet a short time after spring Vacation.

There's music in the air as junior-high students start rehearsing for their operetta, to be given in late May. Mrs. Tapley, Mrs. Rice, and Mr. Kekligian are working to- gether on the operetta, and each student has a special part. lf you thought the Christmas parties were wild, you should have been in the Main Room the day the Galthicrcrs came. Penny's cover turned out to be stuiniing. And the pictures in that book! This will be a yearbook to be treasured for many years to come. Graduation Week before we know it! Marching practice, rehearsing class parts, decorating for the ball, not to mention cram- ming for linal exams! Oh yes, and all the seniors were initiated into the Alumni Asso- ciation at Alumni Banquet. The school bell rings for the last time for the Class ol' 1959. They step I'orward to receive their diplomas, make a quick change to formals, and dance away the last hours as high-school students. So the buzzer sounds and the linal quarter ends with our most remembered event, Graduation. llstclle, Evelyn, Gayle, Gene, Darrell, Tom
