ing to latest poles, if it wasn't for 46, detention l1all would have to close down for lack of customers. They have even taken the championship from 45 as to keeping the teachers going. Ask M1's. Far- ley about that after the fourth period Eng- lish Class. But honestly, this year has brought forth many hidden talents. Under the title of authoress should go the names of Beth Lee Judkins, Veverly Phelps, and Carolyn McClosky. Of the band Mr. Bean tells me that without Al Astle, Joyce Leavitt, Jackie Hall, Georgia Holden, Marietta Doescher, Mary Shaw, Hank Baulch, Rog- er Jackins, Pat Clarke, Q-take a deep breath herel George Pray, Vaughn Tot- man, Joyce Daigle, Lois Barton, Dick Hatch, and Mary Spain there just would- n't be-well, you can see the end of that statement. We are very proud of our boys on the basketball team this year, too. Dick Hall, John Richards, George Pray, and Managers Hatch and Savage really proved their worth on the floor. Wise juniors we may beg but if it weren't for a few seniors, come French Prose day, our exultation would be greatly de- flated. fOr so it was whispered by a little birdl. In cupid's department the arrows nave been flying fast and straight. Many a new romance has started. Some have reached the year mark. tCongratulations, Joyce and Bobj. Of course, a few have fallen through, but here is to all of you. Good luck! Not many boys have left our fold for the armed services. But to those who do go before long-Good luck from your pals of 46. Because our class president, Oscar French, left for Ricker last fall, we elect- ed again early this year. Dick Hall and Vaughan Totman ran close, but Vaughan tinally won by a slight majority. CNancy and Vaughan are keeping the junior class White House in the family, it seemsj. These notes would hardly be complete without mentioning Madame Briggs, the guiding angel of Room 12. Those who have known our beloved French teacher will never forget her. Those who have yet to meet her will never know a better friend and teacher. We are proud to be juniors and hope we .will be able to fill the shoes of the seniors as well as they did this year. J. M. H. Sophomore Notes We have now acquired the title of So- phisticated Sophomoresf' This school year opened with an enroll- ment of eighty-six most extraordinary stu- dents. We regret the loss of a fellow stu- dent of last year, Kenneth Fitzpatrick. As a newcomer, Fay Fong Yee is very wel- come to this class of '47. He hasn't done too badly for himself either, way from the start. - The Sophomore Speaking Contest is ex- pected to go over in a big way this year. How could it help but do so with the fol- owing contestants: Gertrude Ayotte, Jan- ette Bates, Genette MacNair, Mary Skehan, Shirley Ingraham, Tommy Martin, Dick Manion, Larry Reece, Fay Fong Yee, and Eugene Wakefield. Fern Spinney and Beecher Tracy are alternates. Some little romances this year are those of Dick and Jackie, Genette and Dean, Lar- ry and Jean, and Paul and Normap A very recent twosome is Betty and Jerry. Oh yes, we can't forget Mary and Scotty, or is it Carl? We wonder too who Janette Bates has her eyes on now. Could it be someone from Ricker, Janette? All of us are doing our part in the school activities, such as the band, orches- tra, glee club, and basketball team. What would all these groups be if it weren't for the Sophomores to help make them a suc- cess? A Although we are said to be a very stu- pid class, we still have a large representa- tion on the honor roll. Speaking of salesmen for were we?J room sixteen beats anything we ever heard of. This room of ambitious-never-tiring girls had one hundred percent on the very first day of the Curtis Campaign. We have patriotically bought war bonds and stamps and have greatly helped in the' Red Cross drive. We are sure that in future years the pupils of the class of '47 will be listed among the leading citizens of our country. D. M. B. 7
