Freeport High School - Clarion Yearbook (Freeport, ME)

1 8 THE CLARION Freshmen received the initiation as good sports and considered it all in fun. Of course this is our first year of high school and as yet we haven't had much of a chance as to plays etc. In the future I am sure we will succeed in plays and other activities as I know there are those with talent in our class. In closing may I, on behalf of the Freshman class, give many thanks to all our teachers who have helped us so much through our first and per- haps most difficult year of high school and may we extend a welcome to the eighth grade of grammar school who will take our place in the coming school year and wish them the best of luck.

We certainly hope that by next semester the gymnasium-auditorium will at least be near completion for we have suffered crowded conditions long e- nough at dear old F. H. S. Students who now attend Freeport High are gaily greeted each morning by the various colors of the institu- tion's interior. Mr. Livingston our new janitor did a nice job putting on the paint. Also may I add that he is a very tidy janitor. Athletics are once more in full swing after a lull during the war years. Once the new gym is built don't be too surprised if the basketball teams win a few of the tournaments in the years to come. Ralph Dennison '46 ll' Q HP ii TO MY WAY OF THINKING To my way of thinking the reasons we didn't win as many basketball games this past season as We should proper facilities such as showers, lockers, etc., and second, the low ceil- ing and small floor. These conditions hinder a team greatly when playing on a larger floor. For example, on a low ceiling court there are very few long shots taken and so one tends to neglect that part of defense which tells in the losses of rebounds on big floors. Some may think the reason we didn't win more games is that the team wasn't good enough. Well if this is true, how could we have improved without proper playing facilities. To my way of thinking the boys who will play on the new court will have a decided advantage over those who have played in the old gym.
