It has been filled with work and '- play, such as studies, raising funds for our Washington Trip, and social 4 events. ' A In order to show the Freshmen we welcomed them to Farmington High School, we gave the Freshman Reception in September. Music was furnished by the Three Owls Orchestra. I am sure we convinced the Freshmen of our sincerity and showed other people we were capable of entertaining. Not only for tradition's sake but to put funds in the treasury we gave our Senior Play. The committee had some trouble in picking out a suitable play. Finally they decided on Always in Trouble whiclf neither had too many characters nor was it too difficult. One reason I think they took this was that it had an appropriate title for us. Nearly every Senior had a part in it. lt was a big success, thanks to the townspeople and others who helped us. We put it on in Unionville, December 10, and in Farmington, December 11. As we were afraid that theatre managers would approach us if we put on more plays, we decided to give a movie, Braveheart , and dance. We here thank Mr. Joyce for his kindness. Due to the efforts of the committee and the wonderful response of the public, this too was a success both socially and financially. Lunches were served at school once a week in January. Also three food sales were held in Mr. Halels store. All of this nearly filled our pocketbook. - Still we did not have enough. At length we convinced Mr. Gregory and Mr. Mandrey that we needed more money in order to realize our dreams. They consented to our presenting another movie, The Last Frontier , which furnished the desired amount. The boys in the class collected old newspapers and magazines. By doing this, they relieved the people of the papers and magazines and helped fill the treasury. It was a case of killing two birds with one stone. Due to the generous response of the townspeople and everyone else we were able to realize our dream. You will see what a wonderful time we had by reading the account of it found elsewhere in the book or ask any Senior. 21 k r k l l 1 4 l 1 N
