new swf? -' ' Q' Ur. mzjff. of as BEGINNERS Our story begins on a sunny September day in the year 1946. For some people this may have been a day of sadness, but for us, the Class of '50, it was a day awaited with much anticipation. For on this morning, we were to begin a new school life. From this day forth, we were to be classified as high school students, and we proudly acclaimed our title as freshmen, as teen-agers from everywhere, gathered in the Daniell junior High School schoolyard. The year sped quickly by. New friendships budded and ripened. January arrived with its snow and cold and of course the F. H. S. win- ter carnival. VVinnifred Dumond represented us as carnival queen candidate. VVe put up a good fight, but the seniors proved too strong a match for us. The days flew by until flowers began to appear and spring fever became the major epidemic at school. VVith spring came the highlight of our freshman year-the Fresh- man Party. VVho can ever forget Dolly and john as they waltzed to the beautiful music of Spike jones' Orchestra! Andrew made it vey convenient to catch them on the spot, dir'n't he? Oh, we'l, it was all in fun and the party turned out to be a wonderful suc- cess. .Xt last. came the finale of our first year as high school students. On the afternoon of .lime l3. l947. we received our certificates of promotion at an informal ceremony held in the Dan'ell Junior High School gym.-VVe march ahead. EXPERIENCE Sophomores! That was a great word for us -a word which was to symbolize many new experiences: for you see, we now had moved from Daniell junior High School to the high school building. At last, we were to get a good look at all the wonderful features of Franklin High School. Our good look, how- ever, was to involve many other things-a new routine, getting lost while passing from class to class, and locks that we could not work. lX'hat a time we had, and just as We began to settle down, HANG l-the Sophomore lnitiation. This was one day when feminine glamour and manly pride had to be forgotten, for we looked anything but glamorous with our very stylish hairdos and not--made-up faces. And of course. the boys were not too proud of the bows in their hair, and the monstrous way of wearing their shirts. Then, who could ever forget that Tunnel of Horrorsu? Boy, those seniors could really lay it on ! XfYith time F. H. S. eased back into the regu- lar routine and we, as sophomores, began our more serious duties as part of a functioning school body. To lead us in these duties we elected Floyd Rounds our class presidentg VVal- ter Poisson, vice-presidentg Theresa Dumond secretary: and Arthur Frew, treasurer. Soon the winter carnival time rolled around again. This year, we chose Theresa Dumond to rep' resent us as the sophomore carnival queen. Then, spring marked the second stepping stone on our path to glory.-On we go. PREPARATION As high school juniors, we approached the last mile toward our goal. To lead us on to this goal, we once again chose Floyd Rounds. Theresa Dumond, NVinnifred Dumond, and Dolores Nadeau, as our class oiiicers. NVe immediately began preparing for our senior year, by electing a ring committee to investi- gate the many ring offers which we received. lt was with the arrival of our rings that we began to sense the nearing of our goal. Upon our ever widening horizon we seemed to glimpse the slim vision of success which some- how was symbolized by those rings, and we began to realize that rich rewards were waiting for all who followed in pursuit of this vision. Again the winter carnival. Thelma Cassett was chosen queen for our junior class. This was also the year when Glenice Dearborn and David Bagley were chosen to represent us at Girls' and Boys' State. Of course, during all these other activities, the committees which we had elected at the beginning of the year, were working diligently on our Prom. The big climax of our junior year in F. H. S. came on May 20, 1949. On this night the New York
