THE FERGUSON 9 Local News FRESHMAN RECEPTION The first social event of the school year 1934-35, was the Freshman Reception direct- -ed by the Sophomores. Each member of the Freshman class was required to perform some sort of stunt before the audience. During the social which followed, refreshments were sold. This was quite well attended and the proceeds went to the Sophomore class treas- ury. HALLOWEEN BALL The Hallowe'en Ball was supervised by the Juniors this year as the Seniors were busy with their class play. The hall was decorated with colors suitable for the occasion. The music was furnished by the Static Broad- casters . During intermission refreshments were on sale. A large crowd attended and the dance was enjoyed by all. SENIOR PLAY The next event was the Senior Play, A Bunch of Fun . It was w-ell coached by Miss Adams and successfully presented November 7, 1934. The cast was as follows: Rev. Stephen Grandon Robert Johnson Mary, his wife Avis Bowdoin Martha, his sister Rita Willis Christina, a Swedish maid Helen Nason Raymond Hunting Ashley R-owell Vera Matherson Evangeline Morecroft Nina Lee Ida McLaughlin Barbara Foss Emma Longfellow Walter Raleigh Effie Chadbourne Myron Reed Lauriston Cooley Eleanor Campbell The members of the cast acted their parts well and the play was a success in all ways. A dance was held after the play with music Cecily Moorland Sylvia Stewart Lynn Lockwood Alice Hunting Murray Kent Tacks Mulford Mrs. Selina Blair 'by the Static Broadcasters . BASKETBALL SUPPERS As is the usual custom, lunches were served to the visiting teams after the games. The opponents seemed to appreciate the sup- pers for they returned the kindness when our teams visited them. GIRLS' BASKETBALL BANQUET During the past season the girls' team was very successful. The girls were loyally supported by their 'fellow students and the townspeople. The citizens were evidently very proud of the team for they gave a delightful banquet in hon-or of the basketball girls. The ban- quet, provided by many kind citizens was held March 27. The dining hall was prettily decorated with the school colors and a taable was reserved for th-e girls' team and their coach. In the center of the table was a large cake which was later cut and served by the captain, Ida McLaughlin. After everybody had been served, Mr. McLaughlin, the toastmaster, gave a talk in which he praised and encouraged the girls' basketball team. Mr. McLaughlin then called upon the bas- ketball coach, John Plummer, Jr. In his speech he stated that he was proud of the girls and that it was mostly through their own efforts that they had accomplished so much. Coach Plummer then called upon Captain McLaughlin. She thanked the citi- zens for their support and interest in bas- ketball, and voiced her appreciation to the coach for his kindness and patience in guid- ing them through the season. Several other members of the team were asked to speak as well as many of the townspeople. I am sure that this little gathering brought the parents and students to a state of closer understanding. To know that the parents were interested in the activities of the school encouraged the pupils and inspired them to work hard in order to gain the good wishes of all their friends. In the evening, there were three basketball games. The first was played by the small boys of the grades. Of course they did not know much about basketball, but the audience seemed to enjoy the game all the m-one be- cause off' that fact. In the next game the girls' basketball team opposed the boys' bas- ketball team. The boys won, although the

Persona IDA BARKER MCLAUGHLIN Idee Mighty things from small beginnings grow. Born August 17, 1917 Harmony, Maine College Course Minstrel Show 1, 2g Comical Country Cousins , 13 Basketball 2, 3, 4, Captain Girls' Basketball 45 Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, Treasurer of Student Council 35 Enid Lauton in The Blue Bag 25 Jill Carter in Hobg'oblin House 33 Nina Lee in A Bunch of Fun 45 Treasurer of Class 35 Class Editor 43 News Reporter 43 Debate 4g Valedictory. Although Ida is small she has done a big work in school. And again, that smallness counted naught against her in basketball. It rather fur- thered her progress, we think. She is popular and especially so with a boy called Mike . Although Ida hasn't said much about future plans we're sure it will be a twosome if they keep up the good work together. Bonne chance, Ida! HELEN MARIE NASON Helen Let me but do my work from day to day.

Helen lives in Athens but she has been with us all these four years. She is always good in plays and has taken part in quite a few of the school activities. Helen plans to be a teacher, but We are quite sure she would make a better success as an Abbott2ss . Good luck, though, Helen, in what- ever you do. EMMA VICTORIA LONGFELLOW Scottie Happy am I, from care I'm free, Why aren't they all contented like me?

Emma is our conundrum as we are unable to determine whether she will decide to live in Italy or America! The dark clouds disappear when she arrives in the room but in back of all her nonsensi- cal ideas there is a sincere friendliness for all who know her. May Lady Luck continue to accompany you through life, Emma!
