They welcomed into their class three new members, Dorothy Lewis, Kay Lovejoy, and Barbara Fox. In January l noticed that all of the students were heginning to get very nervous. Later l found out that Junior Speaking was soon to take place. The tryouts were held on the 26th and 28th of the month. On March 5th the Junior Speaking was held. Joyce VVood'bury and Evelyn Andrews were tied for first place for the girls. Carroll Trafton came out first and Merle Michaud second for the boys. During the week of March 8th I watched both the boys and the girls come out as winners in the interclass basketball games. For the first time in several years the Juniors did not sponsor the annual Junior Prom. For the third time my dream faded and when it came hack it was in September and again l saw this no- torious class who called themselves Seniors-and were they dignified! Dorothy llanimond and Joanne How- ard joined the class this year. They elected as class officers: President, Car- roll hlooreg vice-president, Carroll Traf- lou: secretary, Loraine Lewis, treasurer, .Xliee XVillcy, historian, Joyce Prescottg student council representatives, Bernice Foss, Maxine Neshit, and Donna Welts. The first great event of the year was the Senior play entitled Good Morning Cloryf' Everyone said it was swell! The elass'pictures were taken the first of De- i'6'lllllG1'. NVhen I left them in dreamland they were patiently waiting for their proofs. Other things of importance which they were looking forward to were the ininstrel show, class trip, Junior Prom, and graduation. I left them, wishing each of them the hest of success in all the years to come. B. Foss.

I6 THE ROSTRUM ered! WVho wouldnit want to be in a play with an ending like that? Awwoo! CMust be the wolf in us!! The cast presented Mrs. Emery with a gift for her ceaseless patience in coach- ing the play and making it such a won- derful success. Lots of credit goes to Arthur Scales, the stage technician, for his lighting in some of the moonlight scenes, to Alice WVilley, the'property manager, for her attractive settin-gs of the furniture, to Kay Lovejoy, for her prompting, and to Ioyce Prescott, the business manager. C. Trafton. SENIOR MEMORIES One afternoon not long ago I lay down and went to sleep. NVhile sleeping I had a dream, and this is what I dreamed: I saw fifty-one young people sitting in a room receiving some instructions. As I was very curious to know what it was all about I stopped and listened for some time. The lady who was giving the instructions was very kind and was de- termined to have the whole attention of the students upon her instructions. Later I learned that her name was Mrs. Emery and that it was the Freshman class of Guilford High School to whom she was talking. That first day was rather em- barrassing for many of the students, who were in every room but the correct one, but 'finally it was over, and they went home anxious for the next day. This notorious class had a class meet- ing within a few days and I saw that they elected for president Joyce Pres- cott, vice-president, Melvin Gilman, sec- retary, Alice Willey, treasurer, George Rollins, student council representatives, Joyce Woodbury and Willard Ellis. The second week I saw these Fresh- men initiated into their school by the Sophomore class. It was quite a day! Both the boys and girls had to dress in funny clothing and in the evening each of them had to perform some stunt be- fore an audience in the auditorium. It will always be remembered! In November this class sponsored an assembly and had Miss Erma Keniston for the speaker. Time went by very fast and soon l saw this class celebrating Christmas by having a party in their home room, Everyone had a swell time! On the last day of sc-hool in Iune 1 saw them at Borestone Mt. on a class trip. The trip went off with a bang and my dream began to fade away. Soon my dream came back again and it seemed to be in the month of Septem- ber and I saw this same notorious class. This year there were only thirty-one members and they called themselves Sophomores. They had the same home room teacher, Mrs. Emery. I saw them elect officers as follows: President, George Rollins, vice-presi- dent, Melvin Gilman, secretary, Dolores Boutot, treasurer, Danny Currie, student council representatives, Maxine Nesbit, Ioyce Prescott, and Melvin Gilman, and alternate member, Carroll Moore. This year they all seemed very happy because they could initiate the Fresh- men-and they certainly did initiate them! In December the class was very proud to receive their beautiful class rings. They celebrated Christmas this year with the other classes in the gym. In February the class put on a fine assembly in the gym. The main number on the program was a play entitled, 'iflerbie and the Mumpsf' ' They closed this year by going to Sebec Lake and had a wonderful time. Just ask the kids if they didnit have a swell time! My dream faded again not to come back until September, when I saw the same class. They still had Mrs. Emery for a home room teacher. This year they elected as class officers: Presi- dent, Melvin Gilman, vice-president, Donna VVelts, secretary, Evelyn An- drews, treasurer, Loraine Lewis, class i
