The purpose of the Corps is to solve problems connected with the school. Reports of the progress of the different projects in school are made to the council. Suggestions for improvement. are made by the members. Each academy organization elects a member to represent it in the council. Those elected from the council to serve as oiiicers for the school year of 1943 and 1944 are as follows: President, Harlow Powers, vice-president, Virginia Wheelerg secretary, Elwood Grayg treasurer, Ethel Stone. Many different projects in school have been 'backed by the Victory Corps. One important project was the Magazine Drive. This year the proceeds were used to purchase a plaque. The names of those who graduated from Hart- land Academy anid are now in the Armed Forces are on it. The dedication was held April 19. Through the Stamp and Bond drive con- ducted in the school, a jeep has been bought. In the jeep is a plaque with the name of the school on it. By the end of March we also will have purchased a field ambulance. The schools that have ninety per cent participation in the Stamp and Bond Drive each month are allowed to fly the Minute Man Flag. Our school has been able to Hy this flag. The Junior Red Cross has conducted several salvage drives. Through the Victory Corps committees were elected to make the drives a success. -I 34 1-

Seekins, Jack Neal, Velma Vanadestine. At the first of the year, it was ldecided that dues of ten cents a week would be paid until December when the weekly amount decreased to live cents. This supplied sufficient funds for any initial expenses of the class. On March 3, a Sophomore Hop was spon- sored by the class, and about 520 was added to our treasury. As there was no immediate expense to be met, it Was voted to give S10 to the Red Cross and S10 to the Salvation Army. The sophomores are particularly proud of their part in the weekly bonld drive. The to- tal sales within our class on March 21 were s3,731.50. -Lois Seekins, '46 -Shirley Stedman '46 THE FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class started its first year at Hartland Academy with an enrollment of forty-five. We were happy to welcome Mr. Shaw as our home room teacher. We elected the following class oHicers: president, Ethel Stone, vice-president, Lloyd Woodg secretary, Lyda Spauldingg treasurer, George Baker. James Mills was selected to represent us on the Junior Red Cross Council. The dreaded Initiation Day finally arrived. This is the day that all freshmen look for- ward to with fearful expectation. The boys wore girls' dresses and ankle socks. To com- plete their costumes, they wore kerchiefs and tunbans, fingernail polish, and carried large handbags. Some of them made amazingly at- tractive girlsi. The girls wore two sofa pillows with a dress pulled on over them. QA mighty tight squeeze for some of uslj The remaining accessories consisted of curlers, men's stock- ings anid garters, bedroom slippers, and we 'carried a candle in a candleholder. The cli- max of the day was the Freshman Reception in the evening. Most freshmen attended and had a much better time than at the morning's assembly for the benefit of the upper class- men. Outstanding performers on that occasion were: James. Mills, Marguerite Hart, Basil Brooker, Mildred Carson, Ethel Stone, and Frederick Towle.

A. in :spite of the fact that our numbers have dwindled to 34. -Lyda Spaulding, '47 SUB-FRESHMEN The sub-freshmen class started the year with thirty-one pupils. If anyone knows the size of room five, he knows that it is practi- cally an impossiblity to accomodate that many. We have lost one member, so the crowded condition has not lessened. The class ofiicers are: president, Ruth Pageg vice-president, Charles Russellg secretary, Mary Howell, and treasurer, Kenneth Pel- kie. Both boys and girls have participated in junior varsity basketball. The girls were Jean Holt, Arvene Ham, Coleen Stromback, Ruth Fox, Marie Smith., and Gladys Sherburne. The boys' team consisted of Charles Russell, Jus- tin Humphrey, Harry Dinsmore, and Linwood Wheeler. Students from the seventh grade were also on the team-s. Our class gave an assembly program at Thanksgiving time. Even though the upperclassmen think us very insignificant, they will be surprised at our future progress in Hartland Academy. We have really enjoyed our first year upstairs unvder Miss Philpot's guidance. -Linwood Wheeler, '48 -E 33 j..

Nine members were able to attend the Maine State Student Council Conference held in Augusta, April 1. All the members feel rewarded for their efforts. -Rae Jean Randlett, '46 THE HACOMEC CLUB The Hartland Academy Home Economics Club started this year with thirty-six mem- bers.

The Hrst of the year a Planning Board was chosen with CamillaiChute from the senior class. Madeleine Hughes from the junior class, Maxine Jones as the sophomore representative, and Pauline Murray from the freshmen class. Early in December the Hacomec girls pre- pared and served the annual Future Farmers' Banquet at the Grange Hall. That evening the boys presented our club with a generous gift of money. Programs for each meeting were decided upon by the Planning Board. These meetings were varied so that we had some of' education- al value, some to help others, such as the Red Cross, and some just for fun. At our Christmas meeting, we decorated a tree, ex- changed gifts, and sang carols. A fashion show was an important meeting. A group of girls from the club demonstrated proper attire for various occasions and the colors and lines suitable for different individuals. Another ..I 35 Ji
