We, the sophomores, held our first class meeting in September, 1945, and elected our class officers as follows: President, Theodore Malone; Vice-Pres- ldeht, Alvin Whipple; Secretary, Helen Jean Lander; Treasurer, Betty O ' Donnell. We were very unfortunate in having our adviser, Mrs. Boyd, absent due to illness about three months this yesr. Our class collected money and through the efforts of Betty O ' Donnell our treasurer, secured a beautiful basket of fruit, which we sent to Mrs. Boyd. Under the successful guidance of Mrs. Batchelder, our substitute teacher, our class has continued a successful year. Some of our classmates appear in the School Orchestra, the Glee Clubs, basketball, football and cheerleading activities. Others of our class namely, Roger Merry, Barbara Whipple, Arthur Washburn, Helen Jean Lander, Nancy Chlttick, Robert Brooks, and Henry Tobyne appeared in “H. M. S. Pinafore , one of the most Important events of the year. We are looking forward come back in September.

The Junior class elected the following officers early In September; Gerald ; Klllam, President; Richard Foster, Vice-President; Mary Herrlgan, Secretary; and Donald Foster, Treasurer. i The Juniors are well represented In the Trl-Hl-Y and the Hl-Y clubs this year, and It Is through the efforts of many of them that this club has been successful. Gerald Klllam, of the class of ' 47, was Co-Captain of the football team, and Chief of the Fireman Squad. Other members of the class did their share in basketball, cheerleading, hockey, and music. One of our main Interests this year, Is getting prepared for the Junior Prom on May 24th. Committees have been set up, and all are very much Interest- ed In making our Prom a success. Mr. Martini, our class adviser, suggested a Pre Prom Spree dance before the promj the purpose of which was to raise money so that we might be able to hire a good orchestra for our prom. Different com- mittees were chosen 3 and the date for the dance was set at April 5th. Next September, the Class of 1947, will start upon Its Senior Year. We realize the task before us, and are looking forward anxiously to undertake our responsibilities as leaders George Andrews Creighton Blenkhorn Le Roy Carter Peter Chisholm Richard Cox Gordon Crosby Ruth Dodge Donald Foster j i me scnooi.

Under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Malone, the freshman class has attained 100 in the purchase of war stamps each week while the war stamps were being sold. Girls in the class participated in the hockey team in the fall; the boys were ell represented in basketball and baseball. In November it was our turn to present a program for assembly. We had a comedy skit in which a few talented members of the class took part. It was very successful. One member of our class, George Bilodeau took a lead in the operetta, Pinafore. On A- ril 5th in a Public Speaking Contest for the Junior High, Robert Poole was awarded first prize, which made us very proud. We have made no plans for a class party as yet, but we hope to enjoy some kind of social time before our year as freshmen is gone.
