CLASS CDF '61 Rather than being frightened at the prospect of entering F.A. for the first time, the class of '61 thought it was a great idea and plunged head-long into everything possible. To lead us on our way we elected Tom Zilinsky, President, Stu Thomas, V. President, Jan Briggs, Secretary, and Bea King, Treasurer. We endowed F.H.A., F.F.A., the band' and chorus with various members of our class. The J.V. teams also received their share of our talented classmates and two of us even played varsity sports. Our number one project for raising money was the production and selling of Christmas wreaths. After enduring the tortures' of Freshman week and Freshman Reception, we vowed to gain our revenge the next year. The sophomore year of high school has always been spoken of as the lost year, but not for us. We continued to contribute our talents to the various musical organiza- tions, F.H.A., F.F.A., and the majorette squad. Gur slate of officers -consisted of Ber- nie Chase, President, Tom Coy, V. President, Judy Ellery, Secretary, and T rav i s Knights, Treasurer. F.A. sports again benefited from our athletic ones, the varsity gaining even more of our members. Because of a number of reasons our class trip was denied us this year, so we did not have many projects. However, we did do very well during the magazine campaign. At last we gained our revenge and showed the freshmen no mercy. Under the leadership of Tom Zilinsky, President, Stu Thomas, V. President, Bernie Chase, Secretary, Travis Knights, Treasurer, we launched our third year at F.A. For the first time in many years the football team had a winning season, with a number of our huskier members contributing to this effort. Once more we strived to benefit the various organizations with our resources. For the first time we had a chance to display our acting and public speaking abilities and did so with confident airs and knocking knees. The celebrated contest play, The Game of Chess , included three of us, while the one-act plays ut.ilized many more. After the prize speaking contest at Central Hall we sent three of us to the Penquis Speech Contest. They walked away with two second places and one third place. This year was a busy year for projects. We sold candy, fudge, ribbon and had bottle drives. Finally, we are Seniors! Again led by Tom Zilinsky, President, Stu Thomas, Vice Presidentg Bernie Chase, Secretary, and Travis Knights, Treasurer, we climbed to new- er and brighter heights. As always we have been active in all organizations, particular- ly in sports. For the first time in ten years the boys' basketball team had a winning season and the girls' basketball team captured the first championship since 1939!!! Needless to say, both of these teams were sparked by members of the class of '61 and were cheered onward by three excellent senior cheerleaders. Scholastically we really shone, 17 of us had an average of 85 or better. With class trip beckoning us, we picked potatoes, sold candy, ribbon, fruit cakes, pizzas and F.A. ties, held food sales and took over the concession stand for all football games and the ice cream business in the cafeteria. Already some of us have been accept.ed at various colleges! As we prepare to leave the sheltered life of high school, we feel the return of the emotions we felt as freshmen. Secretly uneasy, we square our shoulders and confidently plunge into the future.
