New pupils who came this year are: Laura Smith, from Oakfield High, Vir- ginia Heath, from Deering High. The Freshman Reception committee were: Betty Litchfield, Marilyn Brown, Georgia Merryman, Sidney Merrill, Clyde Nicholson, Lewis Groves. The stunts were performed in the after- noon, in the evening a social was giv- en for them. The Sophomore class takes pride in the fact that they contributed to the Red Cross 31315, which was the larg- est contribution in the four classes. There are four Sophomores who haven't been absent or tardy this year: Georgia Merryman, Richard Pulk, Laura Smith. Maxine Webber '47 Class Editor FRESHMAN CLASS Our class began with fifty-five mem- bers this year but twelve of this num- ber have left school. Some joined thc armed forces, some moved away and others took up different jobs. Our basketball members are Jerry McCoubrey, Keith Miller, Kenneth Wilson, William Lunt, George Lowell, Grenny Hudson, Luella Libby, Pauline Litchfield, Patricia Bernard, Janice Capen, and Laura Winslow. Pauline Litchfield represents us in the Student Council. Jerry McCoubrey and Keith Miller two of our best athletes have recently moved away. Jerry has gone to Mary- land, and Keith has gone to Bath, Mc As usual the Freshman class wan pushed around a great deal at the be- ginning of the year, but now we art really quite well established, and we intend to keep right on the job. We have not as yet elected our of- ficers because there were many new students whom we had not come to know well and we thought that it wat only fair to wait until we were well acquainted with each other. Our class also sponsored a social at the beginning of the year. Barbara Williams has not been ab- sent or tardy this year. Kenneth Wilson '48 Class Editor SOPHOMORE CLASS Front Row: J. Blanchard, E.
