aaa .Ma fury One morning, in the spring of '48, the postman left a mysterious looking pack- age, addressed to the seniors, on the doorstep of Franklin High School. Cau- tiously we opened the package, thinking it might be a booby trap from our arch rival, Laconia. There were sighs of relief when in the package lay a dusty film. Anxious to see what the contents of the film were, we proceeded to the projection room, where Iohnny set up the apparatus while Shut - the - door - Chandronnait turned off the lights. Iohnny must have inserted the film incorrectly because the first scene which appeared on the screen was D. I. H. S. upside down. Cheers, whistles, and applause sounded as Iohn- ny reinserted the film. Presented on the screen next was the scene of the Iunior City officers taking oath in the D. I. H. S. gym. They were Robert Marceau and Iuanita Crosby serv- ing their one term as mayor. Our many dances and parties came into view but the film could not show the fun and enjoyment we experienced from them. During our freshman year, Mary Thibo- deau was chosen as our carnival queen. We came so close to winning the carnival that year, that the film broke at this point, and amid Mary's and Villa's gum snaps it was repaired. A blank space - sum- mer vacation. The scene shifted to F. H. S. We saw Donald Bennett, Iohn Sokul, Elaine Coen, and David Crowell as our class officers. Ness Fredette, our hockey star, made the all-state hockey team. We were all very proud of him. Our class outing was the hy-lite of the year. The boys had great fun throwing the girls in the lake. Iuanita was thrown in clothes and all. Our sophomore year was probably easier for our class than it had been for others, because although we were new, along with us was a returned head- master and a few new teachers. The only people the camera caught during that summer vacation were Colin, Lyle, Bruce, Donald, Dick, and Ray. You could almost see them growing inch by inch. Iuanita, Henry Lasak, Iulia, and Ioan Dane, our class officers. and many others certainly worked hard to make our Iunior Prom a success. On the screen flashed one of the most outstanding events of the year. Grouped around the class ring display were some very argumenta- tive juniors debating on which ring was the most attractive. Finally compromis- ing we decided to have the same design but the students could pick whatever stone their hearts desired. The end of the junior year and we noticed that the camera man was kept busy, scurrying around filming the hard-working soda- jerks, waitresses, and clerks that were our classmates that summer. Iuanita was sent to Washington, D. C. as a representa- tive of Girl's Nation from New Hampshire. At last the film came to the most im- portant year of our high school days. Iohn Sokul, Donald Bennett, Ioan Dane, and Robert Marceau were elected to guide us through our last year. A bit of sadness was registered on the screen when a person to whom we had become
