Hermon High School - Microphone Yearbook (Hermon, ME)

Page 34 text:

September School days finally caught up with us again and everyone left the warm carefree days of summer to return to work. H.H.S. was a quiet place for a while with new teachers and all, but we soon got back into the groove. It was a busy month beginning with the annual magazine drive. The Seniors highlighted it with the first record hop of the year. We had a reason to be proud of our baseball team with all their wins to start the fall season off right. They lost a few members from last spring also. October Why are all the girls so busy late- ly? Not tryouts for cheering al- ready? The seven chosen went right to work to earn money for their new uniforms. I guess everyone enjoyed their supper. At least mom didn’t have to do dishes last night. The F.H.A.-ers had their annual UNICEF drive on Halloween by trick or treating for pennies. I heard they did very well too. The Sopho- more class concluded the evening with a record hop. Did you try the hula hoop? I heard the photographer got some pretty good pictures. November The Freshman class held every- one’s suspense before their record hop. Who did the mystery D.J. prove to be? I understood it was a Senior boy. Basketball season officially started with the Round Robin at Hampden. Did you notice any players missing from last year’s teams? Maybe we’ll have a chance! The F.H.A. girls attended the Dis- trict Convention in Brewer getting a few ideas for their club, while the Safety Council held theirs in Au- gusta. Did you enjoy your Thanksgiving Dinner? December The month got under way with the Basketball schedule in full swing. Many set out on a long trip to Ston- ington before vacation. Did I hear someone say that they were scared of bridges? Well it’s over now. The Senior pictures are here and with Christmas just around the cor- ner they can save a little on the budget. After all it’s only the thought, not the gift, that counts. Gee! How come everyone looks so happy? Could it be vacation or the Seniors’ Christmas Prom? January The Seniors seem to have a little extra energy lately. It must be that graduation is getting closer. The year they’ve been waiting for is finally here—1959. Well they had better come back to earth first be- cause mid-years are here. We got the basketball season started again, so we didn’t beat New- port! There are still six more games to go. Did you see that thriller last night? The varsity beat East Cor- inth in an overtime! What’s everyone all dressed up for? Not the yearbook pictures al- ready! I hope they all wore their Ipana smiles.
