Sixteen of us left Biddeford 'm. night at 9:45 P. M., on the Express for New York..... There are eleven Seniors, two Post Graduates, one Junior, one Alumnus, and our Chaperon, Mr. Flynn, so you see, we should have all sorts of fun. Just now, everyone's trying to sleep, but from the looks of things, most of us won't have much luck. Who wantstn sleep, anyway,when so much is going on? 'lbye now, The Seniors Sunday, March 50 ' What a day! We've been on the go ever'since'R5O A,M. when we arrived here in New York City. When we climbed off our train in Grand Central Station, we were completely dazed by the crowds of people swarm- ing about, and by the huge buildings Csome different from Hollis, I can tell youll I'm certain none of us would have ever found his way anywhere, if Mr.Green, the man who sponsered the trip, had not met us at'tm station, bundled us into taxis, and directed us to the Lincoln Hotel on 44th Street. After getting settled and eating our breakfast, some of us went 'way to the top Building. We were still trying after the swift ride up, when the city of New York from 1,250 in the air! What a sensation! of the Empire State to get our breatli we looked out over feet--straight up Back on nterra firman again, some of us took a stroll through Central Park, and visited the Zoo. It was a fascinating experience, and before we knew it, wefd spent nearly two hours there! We found our way back to the hotel, had our dinner, and were ready to meet Mr. Green when he called for us at four, to take us on a tour ofNBL We really got a kick out of seeing Rita ntelevizednl We'Ve just come back to the hotel from a stage show at the Center Theater. It was UStars on lceu and how beautiful the skating and the costumes were! CAt least, that's what those who managed to stay awake all the way through it said. This night life is already beginning to show on most of usll T Speaking of night life, I'm a little sleepy my- self. Guess I'd better cut this short, or I will miss that bus at 8:15 A. M. tomorrow! 14 Ho Huml The Seniors THE SUNBEAM Monday, Marchdi v o Just Imagine! We're actually here in Waskdngton, D. C. I We left New York this morning in a specially chartered bus - some class to H.H,SE We trrvelec with three other schools: Warrensburg, N. Y., Dover N. H., and Falmouth, Mass. A After going through the Lincoln Tunnel, we were on our way, What fun we had crossing the -Delawans River on the Pennsville Ferry fmuch easier then when Washingtonicrossed the Delawarell Just as we entered Washington itself, we stoppai to visit the Francisciah Monastery. Since it 'wx .Lent, many of the statues were drapped, but we dki explore the catacombs, and were on our way again - next stopzthe Cairo Hotel on l6th and Q Street, We have beautiful rooms, and everyone was soon right at home. ' We had a free evening tonight. Some of us spent it bowling, while the rest of us went to a movie. No more news, now. Tomorrow we really start sightseeing in a big way. A 'Till then, The Seniors Tuesday, April l lt's tprribly late, but I've just got to tell everyone about the wonderful day we've just had. The bus arrived at 8:15 and our first stop was at Arlington Cemetery. We visited the Tomb of the Un- known Soldier, and watched the changing of thegmnds he wondered if they ever really used their vicious looking bayonets, but no one dared take the-guide's suggestion and step over the chains to seell , We gazed in awe at the beauty and majesty of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and some of us even climbed the Washington Monument - over SOO steps! You can imagine how.we felt when we reached the top. On our way to Mount Vernon, one of the love- liest places on the trip, we went by the airport to see nThe Sacred Cow.u No, I'm not fooling -- that is President Truman's private plane! This afternoon wo visited Smithsonian Institute and the Natural History Museum. We could have span: our whole trip, just exploring those two placesg there were so many things to see! One thing that impressed us especially was the mammoth whale at the Natural History Museum. He filled nearly one whole floor of the building! 15 THE SUNBELM You should have seen Barbara walking across the lawn in her stocking feeti Isn't that a little hard on nylons, Barbie? This evening we visited the Library of Congress the largest library in the United States. Some of us went to the movies afterwards, and the rcst camo home early to write letters and sleep. Oh, yes have Mr, Flynn tell you about Adam, someday, He was a very popular member of our group! More.tomorrowl The Seniors Wednesday, April 2 Our first visit this morning was to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. We all wanted samples of all that money for souvenirs, but no one managed to get any! Our next stop, the F.B.l. Building, proved to us that nCrime Does Not Pay.u he were very mich impressed by it all, especially the detailed records which they have of criminals. Down in the basercnt, we watched a demonstration of shooting. 4 Before lunch, we visited the White House....... Ordinary tourists are only allowed to go into certain sections of this building, but since we of Hollis High are privileged characters, we had letters of introduction permitting us to go anywhere! It wasad terribly beautiful, but somehow it seemed very bare and empty. We waded through puddles nearly to our knocsgnd were half drenched standing in line before Wu final- ly got in to the Supreme Court Building and had our lunch. After visiting the court in session, some of us decided we'd had enough for awhile and went to the hotel to change our dripping clothes. The rest went through the Capitol, and saw the Senate in session. We arrived just as the House adjourned, however, so we missed that. On the way home, someof us went through the Mellon National Art Gallery. This evening, some of us went to a professional basketball game at the Uline Arena. The rest got lost trying to find their way back to the hotelfthat was their storylj, Mr, Flynn was waiting for them on the doorsteps at 2 L,M,, and greeted their ngoon- morning, Mr. Flynnn, with a cool, Ult's about timeln 'nuff said! The Seniors 16 3 THE SUNBE.fiN Thursday, April 5 Our last day in Washington started out quite quietly. Anita, Barbara, and Myrna got up brightaui early and went through the Pentagon Building. They had to spot landmarks around the doors, so they'd be certain to find the right one again? Everything was so huge and confusing they were in constant fear of getting lost, The building is exactly like a small city, with stores, movies, and restaurants right inside! They visited General Eisenhower's office, and came back to the hotel in time to board the bus for Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Speaking Of busses, don't forget to ask Myrna about Johnny our tus driver. l'm sure she will have a great dai of interesting things to tell you! We arrived at the Shenandoah Caverns about 5:00 P.M. After supper, we went down through the Caverns. It will take nothing short of a miracle to keep Anita from catching pneumoniag she walked allihrmgh the caves barefoot! The formations were very beautif ful, especially with the vari-colored lights which illuminated them. The rest of the evening was spent dancing and singing in the Recreation Room on the second floor of the Hotel. Just two days left beixe 'we're back in Hollis! It doesn't seem possiblelllll Goodnight, i The Seniors Friday, April 4 Now we're in Pennsylvania, do we ever travel around! We left Virginia this morning and visited a Snake and Alligator Farm. You should have heard Ria scream when the guard handed her that long 1 black snake to hold! We had lunch at the Francis Scott Key Hotel,and then visited the Gettysburg Battlefield. l'm sure we all would have enjoyed it much more if the guide hadn't recited his information in such a monotonous, singsongy voice!- We're staying at the Yorktowne Hotel now.Every- thing is very severe and formal, so we're all brush- ing up on our best manners! See you soon, The Seniors Saturday, April 5 I really should have dated that Sunday, 'cause it's very late. We're all on the last lap of our trip, and at 7:30 this morning we'll be back in Biddeford. 17 THE SUNBEAM I We started the last day of our journey at 8:00 A. M. No sooner were we on our way, than we start ed having trouble with one of the busses in our group. In the middle of the afternoon, it broke down completely, so we took the Dover, N. H. group with us. We arrived back in New York at 7:00 P.M. Some of us went to the movies, others preferred to eat. Harlan, Dwight, Stanley and Elliott were more an- bitious, They walked clear to the Lincoln Hotel to say goodbye to the girls from Warrensburgl Why, boys! We met again at 9:15, and Mr. Green herded ue onto the train. It's been a wonderful trip, and l'm certain we will never forget a minute of it. We're getting in to Biddeford, now.

In our So homore ear various members blossorr J ed forth in all sorts of activities, and the class began to assume a little prominence among the r est Smith was chosen Bresident and Stearns, and Ruth Goodwin filb representative group. of the school. 'Fred Nancy Barnard, Elsie ed out the remaining Dwight Southwick led as President our Junior year and Fred Smith, Elsie Stearns and Ruth Goodwin filled the other managerial capacities. Plays and speaking of all sorts became more and more frequent among our members and baseball, track, and basket- ball took Dwight Southwick, Harlan Goff, and Fred Smith. Softball claimed Ruth Goodwin, Rita Burnham and Elsie Stearns and numerous others filled out positions on the Year Book. We came back to Hollis in the fall of v l946 scarcely able to believe that we had at last reach- ed our Senior year. The first few weeks were a big let down to most of us, who soon found that our knowledge was very incomplete and would have to be quite thoroughly replenished. However, as serious study seemed both unnecessary and unbecoming towell brought up high school students, we soon grew mage lax and forgot our good intentions. Rita y Burnham was elected President, Stanley Townsend,Elsie Steers and Harlan Goff, her helpers. Rita also won the League's Title for checker playing and Barbara Lund- berg brought great fame to the class by her efforts in the Speaking Contest.f Dwight Southwick, Harlan Goff, Stanley Townsend, Edwin Smith and Fred Smith were prominent not only in basketball, but also in baseball and track. Rita Burnham, Barbara Lundberg and Elsie Stearns took part in basketball and soft- ballg and to top everything off, everyone had a part of some sort in the Senior Play. Nowias wezue about to go from Hollis, our very pleasant home for the past four years, we try to say in some way how thankful we are. Words seem very insufficient and we can only Say we will never forget a moment of it 20 ,1Hf lwumwm UUUW-Qggmfl fi' .2,, 04Z?42 ffm fpffa 'K jf W QQ ,,41 g..brw H V. f 0 'f ' x X Left to Right First Row: Second Row: Third Row: Fourth Row: . s ,, .

The small number of Juniors on tha honor roll testify to their scho1arship,. On September llth, e few days after getting settl- ed, we held our first class meeting to choose officers for the coming year, The following officers were elect ed: President Ansel Smith ' Vice rresident Ruth Crosby Secretary Sandra MacLeod Treasurer Barbara Day Representatives for the Student Council were: Joan Miles Peter hebb Elliott Towle Next on our list owne the poor Freshmen and I do mean poor! Miat we Juniors put them through for their Reception on September 27.was very grugsomel...But mid screams of fright and laughter, they came through with flying colors, and don't worry Freshmen,your turn will come soon. Marion Benson, Dorotheahhitten, Verna Benson, and Ruth Crosby tried their skill at the game ofhorezshoes. We were defeated, but just watch out for the Senhrelass next year, Buxton! For the first time we had a girls' basketball teen which did very will for itself. Those who played oridn team from our class were Marian Benson, Ruth Crosby, and Sandra MacLeod. Ansel Smith and Elliott Towle also went out for basketball and made the first team.Good workbws is usual, we had our annual Prize Speaking Contest. Ruth Crosby, Sandra MacLeod, and Ansel Smith represent- ed our class. ilthough none of us Juniors get first prize, all our speakers made a fine impression. c An Operetta was put on this year which wnnt off- with a bang! Our class is very proud of Ruth Cros by and Lnsol Smith who had leading parts and helped make the Operetta the success it was, 25 THE SUITQSLAINT CLASS OF '48 Our class may not be very industrious, But, we sure do have plenty of fun! We always take the lead in everything, ind keep the little Freshmen on the runf Our class has many boys and girls, Some with straight hair and some with eurlsg So we will start and doserihe to you What all the kids hero like to do. To tease the girls is Duane's great joke, His psstime's studying History, Tell us Libby, What's the matter with HCoke?n And help us solve this mystery, To sing and play is Huth's delight, The Navy is her choieeg nnd, if you listen to her sing, You'll love her pleasing voice. nDsffyu qui smuses us With ell her silly spells, We hope she never leaves us, Or, ever too fer sway dwells. Pete, who has all the curl? heir, Tries to skip school whenever it's fairy To he with the girls is his delight, And he never stops from morn 'till night. Although Joan is the youngest, Yet still she gets around! We believe Q Senior is her joy, From wood old Buxton town. Q The girl who's forever in trouble ' And stavins after school for Mr. Flinn u O 5 Is always our uiollv Lsrisnn -4- v Q o 1 Hho never says, nl won't do it agsJu.' Elliott is our serious guy, Spending his time doing studies, Around the girls, he is very shy, So he keeps close to his buddies. 'Course we know Barbara is very smart, She gets only L's and B'sg She's one of the happiost of our lot, As you can plainly see. 24 THE SUNBEAM Ansel is, by far, the handsomest guy Of all the kids in Hollis High, With his blue eyes and charming smile! You really should talk with him Two of us are left out, a while. But this is the reason without a doubt, We are the poets of H. H. S. Sandra and Verne, nevertheless. this is the class of n48n-- So Ready, willing and up to dgtgsl To learn our lessons without delay, Is our motto from day to day.

Of course we had to sit hi the front seats, but next year we're in line for tin back of the room, then we can get away with some of Us things thc.Juniors do now! we had our first class meeting of the year Sept- ember eleventh, and elected officers for the coming year. Our lest year's president, Virginia Illinpswordi was re-electedg Joan Virgie became Vice Presiden tg Lucille Hamilton, Secretary, and Isabelle Pinkham , Treasurer. -Constance Smith end Helen Smith are our rw- presentatives to the Student Council. when November rolled a a race to see who could pay round, the four classes had their dues 1055575 first. The class last to reach the top happened to be ours, and as a forfeit, we had to give a social for the others. he found it slightly difficult to keep the group quiet, but with our games, refreshments, and Shirley's phono- graph, we all had an enjoyable evening. In December :nd Jenusry, the girls of Hollis be- came sports-minded. They teased and tossed until Hr. Flynn at last consented to coach them. Of the Soph- omores, only four stayed with it long enough to get a e four were Shirleysrd chance te play a real game. Thes Helen Smith, Frances Robinson, and Patsy Harmon.

Surprisingly enough, of the displays which were shown us, we all agreed on the suns pet- tern. he paid our down payments, and new we're jist waiting for next year, when we can really wear them. Seven of us tried out for Prize Speaking, but no one was luekyenough to take part in the actual contest Those ef us who tried were Lucille hamilton, Constance Smith, Joan Virgie, Frances Robinson, Frances Hufh Isabelle Pinkham, and Virgi nia lllingsworth. and Some of us have contributed articles, poems, -stories to the SUNBEAM, others were on the editorialsff 26 THE SUTTBELM FRESHLLI N CLASS On the ninth of September, twenty four brave but bewildered Freshmen entered that big, beeutiful.build- ing called Hollis High School, and began their first yenr of high school life. - .

If we take time to look at statistics, we will find thmzen average of lOZ go on for further education, Pnnng the girls, at least sez become housewives. Lmong the .boys in a rural community, the majority become farm- ers or work in shops. Do our present high schools offer the kind of subjects that m.ll equip these young people with the necessary knowledge that they need in order to make a successful living? . For those who want to go on to college, there are all kinds of subjects offered that will fill their requirements. but for those who are not planning for a further education, most of these re- quirements are of no value. Something should, if possible, be offered for the others. A good Home Economics Course would help the nhome makers.n Mitn it, the girls would be better equipped to make happy homes in which to raise the future voters of the COUHiPy. And wouldn't it be possible to offer a business course for those who are interested in sec- retarial and clerical work, but, at the same time , are not financially situated to provide means for ed- ucation beyond high school in this field? Are they going to be forced to do work for which they aren't suited just because they haven't been able to re- ceive enough training in high school to go out and make a living? For the boys, wherever possible, courses in ag- riculture and manual training should be made avail- able, as well as some arrangement for shop work and mechanical training made. Let's try to work together in getting more of those courses into our high schoolswhich will en- able every student to get a start upon a road by which he may earn a living.

Wars, however, are not won in the battle zones alone. Far from the front lines many services were performed by sllied individualsor groups which were extremely importsnt to the work of our illies, to our home defense, and to the wellemmg of our troops--services vital even to the winning d' the world conflict. Yet because these were merely routine duties or because they had to be kept secret from the enemy, they, and the men who performed them, went practically unnoticed until victory was a fore- gone conclusion.

The authors prrise, in perticuler, the flight surgeons, who did one of the most effec- tive jobs in modern psychirtry. One of these flight surgeons, Captain Robert Paine, stationed in Italy, flew the full fifty missions with different pilotsof his Squadron in order ta understand the effect of op- erational fatigue upon his men. He studied the men- tal reactions of pilots in flights over such targets as Munich, Belgrade, and the Poleski oil fields. By his own experience he discovered that during thcfhet ten missions the pilot felt that all enemy action was direeted ot him personellyg for the next twenty orfm the pilot regarded himself es part of e team, after these, es fatigue increased, the flier developed pe- culiar fears, such as dread of fire or terror of falling. This condition meont over fatigue, and immediate rest was the only cure. To provide for this, rest camps for pilots and other allied servicemen were established ell over the wnrld. On Lnzio beachhead, two thousand yards from the fighting front,e recree- tion camp wss set up for soldiers, who hed seen forty- eight hours of steady fighting. At uTel-Litwinskynin Palestine, there was another United States irmy rest camp. For the pleasure of soldiers stationed here dm Red Cross conducted tours to Tel-iviv, e beautiful wht ering place on the Mediterranean, to Jerusrlemg Beth- lehem, the Sen of Galilee, and to other plfces in the Holy Lend.

Even the designer of the bomb, Navy Captain William Sterling Parsons, who accompanied Tibbets on this historic flight, was unaware of some phases of the project. The work was carried on et three huge plants. Major General Lester R, Georges had .charge of the work at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a Government built city of 75,000 population. The mein job of tke plant here was to separate Urrnium 255 from the metrl 'Urenium. The plant et Richlend, Washington, directed by Colonel Franklin T.

More than 10,000 other plents, from large industrial concerns to smell laboratories were engag- ed in working on some pheee of the project.

And yet, ' she felt that she had, for the first time, come to am important stage of her life. The one thing she wanted most of all was to be liked and taken into the intimate circle of these young people. lf she failed, her stay in this town would prove to be most unhappy, but if she didn't fail, it would prove that young people didn't care where a girl was born or what her name wasg just that she was a nice ordinary girl like anyone else. Ting walked up the front steps and entered tie school. First she must go to the principal's offir and find out about the courses she wanted to taVm The girls and boys were standing in the halls, laughing and joking, as Ting walked past them,she longed to stop and talk, too -- but that would come later. She was able to take the subjects that she wanted and went through her first day, watching and listening. Several times she had heard some of the girls speaking about her and it almost hrougn tears to her eyes. Why must they speak of her wits that nShe's a foreignern attitude? Could she help it if she had been born and raised in China? her family was white, as was she. The only dlffSFGHf? was her name. And to her, that was a great honor, in China, hrs. Ting Lee, the lady for whom she mes name, was a wonderful woman. As Ting gathered together her books at her locker after shcool, she noticed a small gelding? ball pin on the floor. She had seen some of these pins before on the fellows who played on the team. One of them must have lost this one, as shevmnder- ed what she should do with it, .she suddenly tnagtt of-a plan. If she were to wear the pin, the own- er might notice it and cla could find out who had lost it and could return it. Therefore, she pinned it on her sweater and started down the hall towards home. m it. ln that way T she She couldn't help envying the group of girls who were making their way to the Sweet Shop for their daily sodas.lf only someone would invite her, or even speak to her, she would be the happiest gui in White Oak! 44 THE SUNBEAM The first week went by and she still hadn't 'found the owner of the pin, although she feltcerudn that she would soon. She stopped to look at the bulletin board as she entered the school and a small notice caught her eye. nAnyone finding a small gold football pin, is to bring it -to the farthest booth of the Sweet Shop after school. Tonightn. Clyde Brown V She had found the owner of the pin at lastland she was going to really have an excuse for going to the Sweet Shop after school! She was going to meet one of the fallows too, not just any boy, but Clyde Brown, one of the star football players! This was really her chance to show that she was no different from other girls! S After school, she hurried to the Shop. She felt rather strange as she entered and wondered if she were going to be shy when she spoke to Clyde. She looked at the farthest booth and, sure enough, there was a dark haired fellow sitting there, looking as though he were waiting for someone. She walked to- ward him slowly and asked if he were Clyde Brown .... Smiling, he answered, UYes. And you're Ting Lee, aren't you? l've noticed you at school. Won't you sit down so that we can talk?' Ting sat down and took the ,pin from her dress Handing it to him, she said, UI found this the other day and have been wearing it in hopes of finding the owner. I hope you don't mind! I saw your notice on the board and came to give it backt He took the pin and thanked Ting for it. As he pinned it on his sweater, Ting started to get up to leave. Clyde noticed her and asked, HTing, unless you have to hurry home, won't you stay and have a soda with me? I'd like to talk with youv. Ting sat down again and felt so happy that she hardly knew what she was saying. That afternoon was the beginning of m any happy days for Ting. She had only one regret. She knew that her sudden burst of popularity was not of her own doing, but that it came from her friendship with Clyde, the most popular boy in White Oak high. 45 77' THE SUNBEAM Everyone thought that Ting must really be nO.K.n for Clyde to pay any attention to her. She still had to prove herself. Things remained the same for about a month,Ting lost no ground with the gang, but she still had DEQ? no headway. She was,thinking about this whilefinhdw ing a chemistry experiment one afternoon. Everyone else had left the building except the janitor, who was cleaning the basement, and prepared to leave the laboratory when she heard a noise, It sounded as though it came from the stockroom. At first she thought she was imagining things and again prepared to leave. But, after hear ing the noise-again, she ran from the room to find Ting hurrhdly cleaned up the janitor. He came back with her to the stock? room door and listened. open the door. Finally Then he tried franticallyim the lock broke, and the dOO1a came open, To their horror, they found one of the 1 Freshmen boys sitting on the floor, rubbing his h68f They helped him from the stockroom and waited him to regain his breath. when he was able to tflk, he told how he had gone into the closet for supplies. In his prowling around, he had dislodged a wooden case, which had fallen on his head, knock- ing him unconscious. when he had finally regained consciousness,he found the door locked and hisfesde wrapping had seemed to be uselessg he had just abut given up when Ting arrived with the janitor. for .L - S OMG When Ting was sure that he was all right, she went home, feeling thankful that she had been of some service. A couple of days later as Ting was leavkgsmh d Clyde fell in step with her. nwould you like to go to the Sweet Shop with me?n he asked. Ting's smile was his answer. They walked with the Shop. Then they made their way to the booth where sodas for than gang to the they had first met and Clyde ordered As they sat there talking, Ting noticed that Clyk acted as though something were on his was soon to find out what it was.

W W For a time they practiced in Towle's garage, then, when it began to grow colder, Buxton high School ,was kind enough to lend us their heated W The first ball practice was on December 10. Even though vacation started soon, they still kept nractichg and were ready for their first game with the haterb are girls on January 17. They also played games with Bar Sem, Buxton, and Cornish. W Marion Benson was chosen Captain and the other members of the team wore: Frances Robinson, Shirley Smith, Patricia Harmon, Ruth Crosby, Sandra Macleod Elsie Stearns, Rita Burnham, Barbara Lundborg,Claii Lundberg, Joan Haskell, Theresa Harmon, Lnne hon'ton, Marjorie Haley, Kay Hill and Isabelle Pinkhan. l CHEEHLELDING l W When Basketball season finally started, our boys were no different from any others...they needed suppon: and a little enthusiasm from the crowd. It was decided to organize a group of girls and instill a bit of pep into our lagging school spirit. W W he started with a fairly large group, but they fr- nally narrowed down to: fnita Hill Kay Hill Ruth Crosby ClainaLundberg Frances Robinson Barbara Lundazrg Sandra MacLeod Marion Benson 'Anita Hill and Ruth Crosby were elected cofleadamL The girls dressed in dark green skirts and whiueblousw, or jerseys. All girls attended every game and certainr ly inspired the boys to do a wonderful job. Thanks, girls, for your enthusiastic support! W W W W 1 66 W W THE SUNBEAM BASEBALL ' Spring is here and with it came baseball! This year, however, spring and the weather were not in line. Never have we seen so much rainllll Nearly all of our practice the first part of the season had to be done either in a soggy drizzle, or in an actual downpcurg 'Our first two games had to be call- edo Us did manage to play Weterboro, and they beat us by a small margin of 512.

However, a few minor interferencesnewr got a Hcllis girl down, and so they settled down to shaping a team for themselves. They played their first game, a practice game with the Buxton girls, May 14. Although they lost, nevertheless, they learned a great many pointers, and profited a great deal from the experience: Their big opportunityvnll come at the League on May l7. Those girls who have been attending practice faithfully, and who played in the Buxton game were: Verna Benson Rita Burnham Ruth Crosby Dorine Dodge Cora Gerry Frances Robinson Anna Hanson Maxine Benson Patsy Harmon ' Marion Benson Frances Huff Pearl Pendletnn Isabelle Pinkham helen-Smith Shirley Smith HORSESHOES Luck rather deserted us in horseshoes this yeah regardless of the practice both the boys and girls got. We were hardly the players of a year ago and practically had.to start from nscratchn.BuXton quick- ly took advantage of this in our first gamesgand in both boys and girls,tcok them all in the case of straight sets. 67 N 1 THE SUNBEAM T N TRACK MEET MAY 16, 1947 f T The twenty-second annual Track Meet was held ati Cornish Fair Grounds Buxton High perenniml chamnswon the cup with the highest score of-723, Hollis High took second with 29: Weterboro third with 1053 Lim- erick with l0 was next, followed by Cornish and Per- sonfield with 5 each. 100 YD.
