MEET OUR FACULTY Hello, you're new here, aren't you? Then you don't know your way around. Let me introduce you to our teachers. We'll start with the junior high build- ing. Here in room 23 is Miss Tozier. She teaches math and English, and is a good dancer, too, the fellows tell me. Across the hall in room 24 is Miss Qualey. She's in charge of our library, and teaches Eng- llsh too. It must be rather discouraging trying to teach us to keep the books in order. Hear those machines screaming down stairs? That's Mr. Saunders' manual training class at work. He left us for a while to join the armed forces. It's awful- ly nice to have him back. This is Mr. Greaney's room. He was away for a while, too. We missed his pleasant smile. Let's go in and look at Miss Wallace's rocks and frogs. You'd never guess she teaches science. She's everybody's friend and not afraid of work. Now we'll go upstairs and see Mrs. Churchill, our dignified little math and science teacher. She doesn't have the heart to 'mark a. person late. In here in room 28 is Mrs. Hannon, who teaches math and English, and across the hall in room 27 Miss McLellan who teaches social science. We have just about time to go through the senior building if we hurry. There's Mr. Wood, our vice-principal. He teaches the fellows how to raise those famous. Aroostook potatoes. Down here in the gym, Mr. Terry rules. Right now he's working with the baseball team. Yummy, smell that. Miss Berce and Miss Rowe must be at work in the home ec. lab. Miss Rowe teaches biology, too. Speaking of biology, let's go upstairs and see the boys' biology teacher, Ken Sharp. He's as tall dark and handsome as ever. Across the way in room 13 we find Miss Wilson teach- ing bookkeeping. She sure is a whiz at red lines and figures. This is the guidance room where, to Mrs. Fairley, one so broad minded, our troubles we confide. Miss Bouchard is a new teacher. She is responsible for the great success of Young Mr. Standish and the speaking exhibitions. This is room 15 where Mrs.sHayes teaches the commercial students how to make those funny little crooksrand' curves and what- each one means. Through the glass partition you can see the typing room. That's Miss Black behind the desk. Her fairness to everyone we hold in high esteem. Ouch, get that awful odor coming from Dimples Wins- low's chemistry lab. He must be burning sulphur again. But just watch his smoke when he starts out with his track team. And this little room is Madame Greaves'. Do you like to sing in French? You'd better if you plan to attend her classes. This is Mrs. Terry's room. She teaches freshman and sophomore English, and do the kids think she's swell! Directly across the hall is Mrs. Perry, teacher of English and Latin. Let's go down and call on Mamma Fraser, the prim little lady who guides our social life. She also teaches 'math. Across the hall in room 6 is Miss Kennard, admir- ed for her wit and sense of humor grand. Nevertheless, just say this here or that there and see if you get by with it. This gentleman with the pretty curly hair and little mustache is Mr. Haggerty, a friend to all boys and girls. He very obllgingly came here to teach geometry and algebra when Mr. Bartlett had to leave because of illness. . You wouldn't know that that immacu- late gentleman coming from the superin- tendent's office was ever seen with pieall over his face, but he was. Hence his nick- name Pie. Yes, I mean Mr. Cumming. The lady standing in the doorway is his ever faithful secretary, Mrs. Fitzpatrick. No, the fire bell didn't ring. That's the way Mrs. Howe always walks to her sopho- more Ceasar class. We just musn't miss Kay. Take a peek at that beautiful ring on her left hand. It's new and we're afraid it means we might be losing her soon. Incidentally she teaches history and is she a good sport! But all the same, our history ranks sure got a. boost when Mrs. Judkins substituted for a week. Come into the office now and meet Mr. Lambert, our principal. He teaches geo- metry, trig., guns and fishing tackle. That little number at the desk is Winnie, par- don me, Mrs. Fortier, his secretary. There goes the bell, and I must hurry along before Mamma comes paging me. Be seeing you. Joyce Leavitt 1-1.

193, SENIOR PLAY CAST Senior Notes What has the class of '46 done while in Houlton High School? You mean you real- ly don't know? Well I'll tell you as many of the things as I can in this short space. We entered as freshmen in the fall of 1942 and were a little afraid of the upper classmen and the teachers. We soon over- came our fear of the teachers, and since then they haven't had a minute's peace while we were around. If we we1'en't throwing chalk, erasers, talking, whisper- ing. or just causing a rumpus, we were quietly passing notes and doing all the other things that annoy teachers. We be- gan early to occupy the majority of seats in detention hall, and we were able to hold them all through high school. We couldn't let any other class get ahead of us. No siree. - - VVe did settle down long enough our first year to elect the following class offi- cers: Oscar French, president: Nancy Hyde, vice-president: Roger Jackins, treasurer, and Joyce Leavitt, secretary. We became sophomores in 1943. Did we feel big? I'1l say!! We no longer had to go to the junior division assemblies: we now attended the senior division's. We were still looked down on and pushed 12 around by the upper classmen. We found ways to get back at them though, don't worry. We began to take our places in many of the school's activities. We were proud to have our musicians UD playing in the band and orchestra. We invaded other fields too. We even put on a speaking exhibition. It wasn't too bad, either. Then, believe it or not, we were juniors. Yes, sir, we were really growing up. Only the seniors were above us, but we were sure we were as good as they were. Were we? Naturally. fahemj This was the year when we could join the English Club and the Honor Society, provided, of course, if we had the rank. Many of our classmates made these organ- izations too. Other clubs allowed us to become members also. We put on another speaking exhibition too. It was as good as the one the previous year, if not better. Then we were seniors, honest to good- ness seniors. We had quieted down a trifle, but we were still the noisiest class in school and still had a majority in de- tention hall, with Al as the party leader. Our Senior Play, Young Mr. Standish , coached by Miss Bouchard, was a. big suc- cess, even if everybody had begun to won- fContinued on Next Page?
