i' LAUREL 'A' DEC. 14 The Senior Class present as their annual play, Old Doc, the immortal story of the small town doctor, and thereby httingly dedicated to the late Charles, W. Bell, who was in reality the Franklin Old Doc of Farmington and County. Iohn Gagne plays the lead, with Mil- ton Henderson and Iune Taylor in the major supporting roles. Profit to the class, 35100.55 DEC. 15 At the Christmas assembly, the radio sketch given by the English 3-A class is just what we need for the cheery Christmas spirit. Dick Hodgkins is Old Santa, Christmas tree and all QThanks to Mr. Iohnson and Richard Lidstonej and Alan Keith and Yours truly finish off with Super Sudsf, Two weeks' vacation and Merry Christmas to all. IAN. 1 Here we are right in step with the little New Year. May he grow in stature beyond the Old One. The cafeteria reopens and hot lunches are again being served to a larger group than ever, approximately 40 students a day. Miss Skillin plans thenourishing menus enlarged this year to two dishes. Our Home Ee. girls prepare and serve the lunch with Mrs. Linnie Hawes at the helm. A sample menu for a week looks pretty good, eh? Monday-Scallop potato, fruit juice Tuesday - Vegetable casserole, carrots Wednesday-Corn chowder, raisin salad Thursday- Macaroni Sz tomatoes, fruit jello Friday-Vegetable soup, fruit juice IAN. ll The Home Ec. girls are the cynosure of all eyes today in their new dresses, wools for those who have had sewing before and silks or cotton for those beginning. Very good-looking were an American Beauty wool with white an- gora buttons, hand-made, a twopiece yellow wool, a two-piece navy skirt and jerking a black wool jumper with white ship motifs on the pockets. I IAN. 12 Five more cheer-leaders added to our troop :along with Iohn Bell, Frank Kenney and Curtis Berry. They are Eleanor Stevens, Ieanette Thompson, Anne Deering, Shirlie Richards, and Ioyce Streeter. And with Tournament Time coming two especially peppy new cheers: Victory Cry Victory! Victory! That's our cry! V -I-C-T-O-R-Y ! Will we win it? You're doggone right! Farmington! Farmington! Fight! Fight! Fight! Go Back Go hack! Go back! Go back to the woods! You haven't! You haven't! You havenit got the goods! You haven't got the rhythm! You haven't got the jazz! You haven't got the team that Farmington has! IAN. 13 The Seniors repeat their performance of Old Docv at the Forster Memorial Building at Strong on a 50-50 money basis. Net profit to class is 2525.00 Several voiced the opinion also that several of the cast did an even better job than in their initial appearance. The gift of the Class of 1944 arrives from the shop of our local carpenters and builders, the O. P. Stewarts. This is a long-awaited maga- zine rack for the library that will relieve the congestion of the former combination maga- zine-catalog shelf. It is good-looking, complete with name plate and a practicable addition to library equipment. IAN. Z3 The Greyhounds, after a previous win over their arch-rivals, the VVilton Eagles, go over to Wilton and defeat them again 38-35. This puts the Greyhounds leading contenders for the tournament as the Academy boys are the de- fending champions. IAN. 24 Approximately 30 high school students are at- tending a weekly dancing class conducted at the North Church by Miss Maloney of Port- land. These classes are held each Wednesday at 8:30 when ballet, ballroom and tap dancing are all taught. This opportunity is one long
