JUNIOR DIVISION BAND der if it was ever going to be presented. It was postponed a number of times, but it was worth waiting for, wasn't it? Our class had its share of stars on the basketball team including John Richards, Eldaige St. Peter, Keith Antworth, George Pray, and last but not least, Dick Hall. We had a lot of fun initiating the new members into the various clubs. - There were seventeen of our classmates in the band. We had a good representa- tion in the orchestra and glee club also. We held elections again this year ani chose the following class officers: Eldaige St. Peter, president: Clara Gartley, vice- presidentg Francis Nason, treasurer: and Joyce Leavitt, secretary. Barbara Charlton was elected as our D. A. R. candidate. We hope she gets to Washington. She deserves to. Under the leadership of Henry Baulch, Jean Lambert and George Pray, this year's Curtis Campaign was the most successful one ever to be conducted in Houlton High School. These are a few of the things we have done during our stay at H. H. S. Many of these would have been impossib'le without the help and guidance of our teachers. I know I speak for the whole class when I say we couldn't have asked for better teachers or a finer principal than Mr. Lambert. We say goodbye to everyone who re- mains here and wish every teacher and student all the best of luck. Lois Barton Junior Notes The class of '47 can now be counted among the Jolly Juniors, and we are still doing our part to keep detention hall open. Although our junior rooms didn't hap- pen to be prize rooms in the Curtis Cam- paign, they added greatly to the grand total. We are proud to announce that Lois T. is the junior candidate for Circus Queen. Mary S. seems to just love to study geo- metry lately. Ask Jimmie W., maybe he could tell us why. There have been many upstarts of new romances: 0the1's have faded out: others are still going strong. fGood Luck-Dick and Jackiej. Carl and Mary are still hold- ing hands too. There is a large representation of the junior class in many organizations such. as: Basketball Team, Honor Society, Eng- lish Club, Hi-Y Club, H-Club, band, or- tContinued on Next Page!

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?

chestra, glee club, girls' chorus. The musi- cal organizations are all looking forward to a trip to the music festival held in Mil- linocket. Anyone interested in securing detailed information about this ask Jean- nette B, because she is too. The new class officers who have recent- ly been elected are: president, Nathan Rush, vice-president, Mary Skehan-Q secre- tary, Lois Tompkins: treasurer, Paul Miller. Our class rings, although they have been ordered for some time, haven't come, but we are still expecting them. It's fun being juniors, and we hope it will be as much fun being seniors next year. D. M. B. Sophomore Notes Well, by now the class of '48 has its feet firmly placed on the floors of I-I. H. S. and feels itself quite grown up, despite state- ments of the teachers to the contrary. The sophomore class has some fine ath- letes, but I hear that the best is Martin Smith. Right up there too are David Har- bison, Buddy Larson, Bradford Scott, and Donald Peabody. Keep your eyes on those boys: they'll be our stars soon. We have been pretty., busy this year with elections. Billy Holden and Cleo Bou- tilier represent us on the ,Student Councilg Janice Rand was our candidate for Circus queen, while class officers are: Buddy Lar- son, presidentg Judi Never , vice presi- dent: Wendall Peabody, secretaryg and Martin Smith, treasurer. A great many members of the band, or- chestra and glee club are sophomores. In fact, it's a question of where those organ- izations would be without us. We are always one of the top contribut- ors to the Honor Roll with the longest list of Honor students in the Senior Division. In the Curtis Campaign the occupants of Home Room 13 left the rest of the school far behind. Led by Phil Kenney and David Harbison they chalked up an admir- able record. Room 17 was the second room to be one hundred percent. Cupid doesn't seem to be very busy this year. However, many sophomore girls are smitten with the senior boys. How about lt, sophomore boys, are you going to let this keep up? Yes, it has been a busy year for the Class of '48, but we've loved every fun- packed minute of it. A. K. H. Freshman Notes Hello, Freshmen. Well, here's another year almost over and a fine one it's been. I think that about the busiest person in our class has been Ralph Tozier. Our elected representatives on the Stu- dent Council were Harriet Bamford and Frank Totman. The nominees for the freshman class president were: Billy Hyde and Frank Totman. There was quite a bit of competi- tion, but Billy won out. The other offi- cers were as follows: vice-president, Har- riet Bamford: secretary, Amy L. Tomp- kins: treasurer, Barbara York, and our faculty advisor was Mrs. Perry. Our Casanova this year was, I be- lieve, Wendell Wink Beaulieu. How the girls do go for him! Did I hear someone say Huba, Huba? There have been a lot of freshmen add- ed to the Varsity Band this year. Con- gratulations Kids! We seem to have two comedians in our class, Cedric Good and Charles Johnston. Well, that's all the news for now. So long until another year. A. Merrill , FACTS ABOUT I-IOULTON HIGH H. H. S. is the only school in the State of Maine that has won a major national championship. Our cross-country team under the coaching of Clyde Stinson won the national cross-country title on Thanks- giving morning 1930, at Newark, New Jer- sey. July 4, 1922, Houlton High defeated Portland High 4-2 in a baseball playoff for the state championship.
