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.

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.

In September, we had the honor of having the first assembly of the year. It was called Important Days of September . Fifteen girls and four boys took part in it. We were the second class to gain 100$ in the Junior Red Cross Drive this year. When James Tate, one of our classmates, was in the hospital, we helped him to pass the time away with two books, a model airplane, and a very nice card. Our annual Christmas Party with the Seventh Grade was a memorable occasion. Presents were exchanged. Mr. Towne, Mrs. Ramer, Mrs. Holmes, and Mrs. Bennett were our guests. Our grade was the first to obtain a 100$ collection in the January In- fantile Paralysis Drive. On February 15, we conducted an interesting quiz as an assembly program. Lollipops were given as prizes. Ours is a patriotic class, as we have main- tained the record of over 90$ of the class buying Victory Savings Stamps.
