queen, was right up there pitching when we had the H. H. S. circus for the first time since the war. Lois made the head- lines again by being one of our better halves of a romance with Dick Manion. Another better half, still going strong, was Jackie of the Russell-Hall combination By the way, wasn't it in our junior year Miss Skehan started to go with Jimmy Watson. Of course, we all know it was for help with her geometry. Mary represented Houlton High in the county speaking con- test. Other speaking honors were given to those in the Junior Speaking Contest. Base- ball was started again this year and we had several members from our class on the team. We also had the first Junior Prom ever to be held in Houlton High. 1946 - 1947 This year we have been working hard at the full time job of being Seniors. Our officers for the final year in high school are President, Nate Rush: vice-lp-resident, Mary Skehang Secretary, Betty Landers: and Treasurer, Tommy Cassidy, Mary Ske- han was also elected as our D. A. R. can- didate. Under the direction: of Mr. Maher, our senior play, You C'an't Take It With You was presented three big nights. In the Curtis Campaign, with Dick Manion as our general manager, we were New England champions with our final total profits. 3250. We have throughout our stay in Houlton High, been well represented in all activities. I've mentioned differenut romances in the past, but this year really tops all records of past year. This class of '47 is not called that any more. It's now known as the Class of engagements . Some have been anlnounced and some - well, we're just guessin'. Here are few of them: Hilda Carmicheal, Therese Pelletier, Marie Campbell, and---You guess. Some are even beyond the engagament ring stage. Betty Hawkincs is now Betty Russell, and Doris Mason is Doris Britton. They are members of the ball and chain gang now. Seniors and alumni seem to get along well together. I mean Gertrude and Clayton Brown, and Don-na, and Vernle Byers. We must mention our competitors, Rlcker. The competition now is between the Ricker girls and Houlton High girls a to who will get the good looking vets at Ricker. But we are right in the chase, aren't we, Janette. June seventh we will leave Houlton High School for the last time as students. We have had six wonderful years, and it will be a sad day when we go. We want to thank all our teachers and underclassmen. You have helped so much to make our time here enjoyable. Good luck to you all ln future years. JUNIOR NOTES Greetings friends! The class of 48 has now well establish- ed itself on the planks of Houlton High. Under the capable direction of our class officers, Bud Larson, Emerson Joy, Bill Holden and Phil Kinney, the class of 48 will go down in school history as the fin- ancial whiz of many years. These boys have devised many a way for lessening our graduation expenses. Keep up the good work boys! A great honor came to the Junior Class in the Curtis Campaign. Thais year we had the New England high salesman from our class. Congratulations to Ralplh Carter! This year as usual the 48er's dominat- el the honr roll. We are proud also to have ten members of the College Cour e in the National Honor Society. 'Hxis is a real achievement, Cupid seems to have passed by the Jun- ior Class. The only steady romance-if I may call it that-ls the one of Smitty and Janice Rand. Good luck, kids ! It begins to look like the class of -48 will turn out at least one good comedian! best on the list so tar is 'The The Schnoz'! You've got our sympathies, whoops! I mean our hope, Brad! Casanova Joy and Natch' Smith just about finish our list of celebrities. So long until we, the Class of 48 , are the rulers of Houlton High. J. W. SOPHOMORE NOTES We, the class of 1949, think you will have to agree that we have some very talented pupils in our midst. Of course the first thing we did this year was to get organized and elect the follow- ing for our class officers: Edward Coutur-
