The MICROPHONE 15 JUNIOR EXHIBITION On March 23, the members of the Junior class were whispering excitedly together.

SCRAP PAPER DRIVE The Future Farmers sponsored a waste paper drive in late November. The drive proved quite successful. The future farmers appreciate the cooperation of Floyd Pickard and Loren Goodspeed for the use of their trucks in making the collection. They col- lected 7010 pounds of paper which was sold to Brown's in Brewer. They plan to make another drive in April or early May. FRESHMAN RECEPTION On Friday, October 14, 1944, 24 of the Freshmen attended a reception given by the upperclassmen. The girls wore old-fashioned dresses and oat meal boxes tied on their heads with ribbons. The boys wore baby bonnets and their clothes backwards. After the initiation the program was con- tinued by dancing and playing games. Later, refreshments were served. RELIGIOUS COURSE The religious course is a new and entirely different, but valuable course to the students of the high school this year. Reverend Allen Brough is instructing this new course for the benefit of the entire high school. NEW MEMBER OF THE FACULTY There has been a change in the faculty this year of one teacher, Mrs. Floy Bemis re- placing Mrs. Bernice Webster. MOTION PICTURE PROJECTOR The school, through the cooperation of Mr. Grant and the School Committee, purchased a 16 MM. motion picture projector and sound equipment. It is of great value to the school. Some of the pictures pertain to dif- ferent courses being taught at the High School. MAIN ROOM There has been an improvement made in the Main Room this year. The Future Farm- ers, under the supervision of their agricul- ture teacher, Mr. Sawyer, constructed a library, which is deeply appreciated by the students and the teachers. MAGAZINE DRIVE The annual magazine contest took place in 1944. It proved very successful for it has been a number of years since We went over our quota. The school was divided into two teams, the B-17's and the B-24's. This great rivalry existed between Joan Kelleher, Majorette of the B-17's and Doug- las McLain, the Major of the B-24's. Eleanor Erickson was business manager. The winning team was the B-24's.
