FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY T-oo bad to spoil the opposite page with such a looking gvroup, but we must remem- ber they are -only freshmen and very green at that. There were fifty-f-our such -speci- mens who came through the doors of the N. H. Fay -High School, September 10, 1928, for the inspection -of 'the sophomores, ju- niors, amd -seniors who stood on every -avail- able foot of spa-ce -and gazed with wonder, amazement and,-well, some .of us th-ought dt to -be amusement which spread across their faces, as they shouldered each other in the main room doorway and tried to get a peek at us all. But after a few days or a week of gazing upon us, the novelty Wore off. At an early date we held a class supper and Norm-an Bryant was elected president of the cl-ass, Wilbert Richardson, vice-presi- dent, -Marjorie Mountain, secretary, and Louise Howard, treasurer. Later we had a class supper at the home of John Arno. fMr. and Mrs. Blake were chapero-nes. The -supper consisted of oyster stew :and pickles with assorted cake for de-sserlt. 'One of 'these cakes which was brought by Dorothy 'Clark was decorated with the words, Class of 1932. For a wh-ile after supper we wandered around out of doors. Then, horror of horrors, it began :to rain! The lightning dashed across the s-ky and the thunder roared with all its might. It rained for the rnext hour! We all hurried in-side and played 'game-se, Mrs. Blake .planning a number of them. 'Cars began to come to take some members home and the party began to grow smaller. A few of the cars almost got .stuck but finally managed to reach home. In the fall a football team was started. There were three freshmen boys -on it. These were Leonel Clukey, who broke his wrist while playing at Brownville, Nov. 3, 1928, Omar Cloutier, and Linus Rfobichaud. At the high -school -supper some of the freshmen furnished cars to collect food in and a 'number -of ithe girls acted as wait- resses. 'T-here were six freshmen in the Operetta: Evelyn Small, Beulah Goiokson, Omar Clou- tier, Keith Lawrence, Norman Bryant and Linus Robichaud. A class meeting was held to :talk 'over a basketball game between fthe Bangor fresh- men and the Dexter freshmen. A number of the students attending this meeting took tickets to sell. The Dexter boys woni Eliza Wed-ts dropped out in the- Christ- mas v-acafti-om leaving fifty-'three to come back in January. But arnother girl, Ru-th Waterhouse, came to 'take her place! We also lost Agatha Folsom who left school in April. In the Physical Training Exhibition there were fifteen freshmen -girls. They were Violet Brown, Beulah Cookson, Agatha Fol- som, Rita Ganeiau, Zeph-arine Gilbert, Ber- nice Haseltine, Evelyn Small, 'Gertrude Tit- oomb, Edna Towle, Isabel Bentley, Beatrice Cheney, Dorothy Clark, T-helma Lowell, Flora McLeod and Ruth W-alterh-ouse. There is -one freshman on the 'boys' bas- ketball team. He is Nick Robichaud. The only freshman on .the Giml's Basketball team is our little small sh-ort girl , Evelyn Small. In taking part in the-se sch-ool activities we feel that we have but made 'the introduc- tion to the things which we shall do in our coming three years at N. H. 'Fay High. Doris Bridges '32.

Blake - Miss Esther Holt Be Prepared Be 1Prep-sired , the motto of the Boy Scouts is one that everyone of us can use to good advantage. History is, moreover, full of instances of men who lived in ob- scurity, but who were prepared when the great opportunity came. 'Lincoln was still a country lawyer when 'he was fifty but when his time came, he- was so -prepared in mind and soul that he was able to shoulder his great task. .Marshal Foch, who died recently, was an oiiicer and a professor of military tactics, unknown to any-one except military men when the World War broke out. He had, however, so prepared himself that he quickly beca-me one of the most prominent generals of the French army and 'later the supreme commander of the Allied Armies and a lMarshal of France. Pershing, our own great general, was a captain at fifty but when war came, he was able to take command -of the greatest army that the United States has ever h-ad. Let us' see how we can prepare. First, we must live upright and pure lives for 'nothing great can be built on a faulty foundation. Napoleon had much in-fluence on
