At Halloween, the sophomore class put on a mock wedding. George Brown was the bride and LaVerne Hosmer was the groom. The skit won first prize. The 'class had a surprise party for George Brown before he left. He was presented with a gift and some money. Fran- ces Rice also dropped out of the class at the end of the year. Arlene Sibley and Clifford Bullock joined the class. When Lemuel Chapin left, Violet Patience took his place as vice- president. To raise money besides class dues, the class sold tickets on a box of fudge. Mrs. Chan Goodberry won the candy and Judith Fuller got the prize for selling the most tickets. In 1946, the junior class was organized with Violet Patience as president, Joyce O’Neil as vice-president, Ermine Bevins as secretary, and Robert Perry as treasurer. Miss Bloom- field was elected class advisor. Early in the year the class ordered their rings. They could not decide which style they wanted, so the girls chose a square design and the boys got round designs. The rings came February 3rd 1947. It was indeed the biggest event of the year for the class except for the prom. The class put on a prom and lost money on the dance. Joe Calapari’s orchestra provided the music.
