N X X Q, x x TM p lu Your contributions to Kennebunk High School have been noteworthy par- ticularly during this your senior year. By your initiative and cooperation in accepting and carrying out our improvement program, a pattern of leader- ship has been established that will be difficult for future senior classes to surpass. Kennebunk High is truly a better school because of your attitudes and achievements during your high school years. As you leave us, whether it is to continue your education or to enter your chosen vocation, please remember that Kennebunk High School is still your school. The faculty will always be interested in your future success, just as we have always been interested in your welfare while you were in attendance at Kennebunk High School. Best of luck to each of you. It is with a feeling of belong- ing that I salute the class of 1956 because we all started as members of K.H.S. together. I would like to take this op- portunity to wish you all God- speed and to thank you for your contributions toward making my teaching and guidance activities pleasant and fruitful experi- ences. Charles B. Thompson uidanw Pvwgnam Guidance in K.H.S. involves individual and group approach and is con- cerned with personal and vocational interests. The program involves the entire faculty, since each teacher has Cl group of counsellees who are his especial concern and interest. Tests such as aptitude, interest, and IQ are used to help the student arrive at a choice of occupation in which he will be both useful and happy. Both the Director of Guidance and the Dean of Girls are happy to be of service to students who seek guidance in personal problems. In addition, home room teachers also serve as personal counsellors. Group guidance is carried on in home room period and in class discussion, wherever the lesson content lends itself to profitable discussion of problems of interest and profit to ado- lescents. As we look back over the four years that you members of the Class of '56 have been a part of our school, we realize that it has been an interesting and in- spiring experience to watch you develop in self-reliance, leader- ship, effort and accomplishment. We sincerely wish for each of you the things that are really worthwhile, and we hope that in some small way we may have contributed to your desire to lead a useful, creative and happy life. We hope that you are taking knowledge and wisdom with you. We know that through your leadership and cooperation you are leaving your school a better place than when you entered.

Mercier Seuiofw When we are Seniors ...... - these words we often repeated as underclassmen. Then on September 7, we had reached the long-anticipated day. We began to make ourselves at home in rooms 'l5 and 17. Early in the year we accepted the challenge of leadership not only in extra-curricular activities but also in carrying out the policies and attitudes of the school. We are proud of our unseltish use of some of our Washington Fund, first to play host to the school, to parents and friends at the Freshman Reception and again at Christmas time to make a generous contribution to the Christmas dinner proiect, sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y. With the presentation of Stranger In the Night on December first and second, the class of 1956 was again triumphant. We were representedin the Homecoming Day Parade by an original float, and at the dance that evening the senior candidate was crowned Homecoming Queen. Being a senior has really been a much more challenging and a happier experience than we had ever imagined.

On Friday night, Decem- ber 2, the illustrious seniors at Kennebunk High School captivated audiences with their humorous performance of Stranger In the Night, a mystery by Paul McCoy. It can be truly called one of the hits of the season. Sparkling in their starring roles were Bill Mercier, Jane Smith, Barbara Burgess, Donna Dixon, Lewis Lahar, Sonia Barker and Mary Downing. Equally adept was the great sup- porting cast who included Douglass Nason, Stranger in the night? What's the matter? Mabel, are you all right?

Credit must be given to the prompters, Helen Cashen and Charlotte Graffam, and all other unsung heroes who helped the play attain its high status. Barbara Dunn deserves recognition for her exceptional work as make- up artist. Under the able direction of Mr. Harvey Bixby and Miss Jane Smith, the play was perfected in every aspect, and the fin- ished product was the scintillating perform- ance, which still has the critics raving.

Kennebunk High School this year has an expertly functioning Student Council, which operates under the new system inaugurated last year. Among the proiects undertaken this year by the Student Council was a contest for obtaining a permanent school seal and motto. The winners, Richard Webb for his seal and Jacqueline Lembree for her motto, received fifteen dollars and ten dollars, respectively, as prizes. The Christmas season found the organization sponsoring an assembly program designed to use the talents of students who comprise the numerous clubs of K. H. S. The response was gratifying, and the Christmas spirit enveloped our hallowed halls. The Student Council, with the help of their adviser, Mr. Drown, and other faculty members, composed a Student Handbook to serve future high school students. The new monitor system, the annual Talent Show and a generous dona- tion to Christmas dinners for needy families were other proiects undertaken by the Council. ',f '5iw. OFFICERS: Treasurer, D.

This year the Dramatics Club projects included a drive on make-up im- provement. Mrs. True Hardy Boothby instructed several club members in the art of effective make-up. The proiect actually started a year ago during the annual Spring Play Festival, but a great deal of practice and many experiments have been carried on this year. Kennebunk's Dramotics Club will compete in the annual ploy contest, as it has in previous years. Plans are also being made for the Spring Festival Plays, which will include three plays, directed by Mr. Bixby with the help of student directors.

A. under the able direction of Mrs. Julia Gould includes all girls in the senior high school. The election of officers was held on Monday, September 12, 1955. Each girl was asked to pay fifty cents dues. The purpose of this was to start a treasury so that any financial obligations might be met. The G. A. A. entered an appropriate float in the Home-coming Day Parade. This float was decorated in the school colors, blue and white, and featured girls dressed as K. H. S. cheerleaders. As another proiect the G. A. A. sponsored a Winter Carnival Dance. This was held on January 14, 1956. David Shields and Sue Foster were elected king and queen of this successful and exciting event. Committees for the Winter Carnival Dance worked very hard to make their dance a success. The G. A. A. also managed the concessions at the football games. Dif- ferent girls volunteered each week to sell the coke, potato chips, and candy. Snowflake royalty 'QM-,1 'GZ MISS ROBINHOODS 'B 2' : If .Q K Seated: R. Bernier Jr., R. Graham, L.

This year the Future Homemakers of America of Kennebunk High School have been a very busy and active chapter, taking part in doing useful things for the town, community, country, and having fun too. The club members iourneyed to Thornton Academy in a group, where they attended a District F meeting, at which the club president, Claudette Bergeron, presided She also attended a State Planning Meeting for a week at Old Orchard Beach. The sale of football schedules and Christmas cards increased the F. H. A. treasury. During the Christmas season, the girls made fruit cakes and holiday candles for the Leech Convalescent Home and sent cups and place mats for the children's ward at the Webber Hospital. They also took part in the World Christmas Festi- val of Gifts, sending their contributions to the Navajo Indians. ln February the annual Valentine party, in March Daddies' Night, in May the annual Mother-Daughter banquet were the highlights of the chapter year along with the annual State Convention held in Augusta.

Shortly before mid-years, the new high school rifle club was organized under the leadership of Garfield Ross, Jack Libby, and Joe Dyer-interested citizens of Kennebunk-and Mr. Thomas Vail, a faculty member. To aid the efforts of the club directors, the Lions' Club, the Rotary Club, the V. F. W., the P. T. A., and the American Legion helped purchase special target rifles for the school. To provide for Saturday morning practice, several club members helped level basement ground and establish a safe shooting range. This season many interesting and educational programs have been provided for the club. These have included a speaker from Remington Arms Company, whose topic was Types of Firearms and Ammunition , a state policeman, who spoke on gun safety and club establishment, and two United States Marine Ser- geants, who gave talks on the fundamentals of target shooting and the construc- tion of the M-l rifle. Late in the school year, the club hopes. to enter a number of boys in the com- petition for the state championship and, with luck, for the national championship.

On the second and third outing the Rams ran into two of the best teams in York county, losing to St. Francis 28 to 14 and to Bidde- ford 33 to 21. The Bunkies broke into the win column on their next two outings against St. Ignatius 26 to 6 and Wells 28 to 14. Berwick Academy, building a power-packed team, managed to spoil the Bunkie homecoming day by squeez- ing out a 14 to 13 victory. The final game of the season against traditional Old Orchard Good try, HUYVY cond Row: lt C-Tcopll R' S. Y. C. L. CHAMPIONS Beach proved to be a heart breaker. The game was played on a wet snow-covered Pardon my hqnd field, the Bunkie aerial attack was slowed down and the Bunkies were defeated 46 to 0. The passing of Don Kinne this season was a great help to the Rams as was the fine pass catching of Bob Johnson and Bob Dowd. Bill Mercier, converted from the backfield to the line, filled the gap at center, and his line backing shone brightly all season. The Rams, by beating Wells, St. Ignatius and Traip, clinched the S. Y. C. L. championship for the first time since 1949. Complete to Johnston FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS C. Emery, P. Bowley, P. Court, B. Gibson, S. MacDonald G. Thyng, C. Graffam.

Basketball! l955-l956 Kennebunk's 1955-1956 Ram basketball team boasting two veterans, Bob Johnston and Mus McConnell, and a trio of last year's iayvee performers had a very successful season, winning nine games and losing seven. After dropping the first game to St. Ignatius 48 to 39, the Rams won three out of their next four, losing to Sanford. The Bunkies then beat Wells and O. O. B. and lost a tight one to Go-r- ham, 71-69 on their home court. On their next six outings the Rams won three, losing to St. Ignatius, Sanford, and Traip Academy, who ranked third in Western Maine at that time. Outstanding floor play by McConnell, rebounding by John- ston and Shields, and fine shooting by Wills accounted for the Bunkies' successful season. With starting men Art Gott, Vince Wills, Bob Dowd, and Jim Nadeau who alternated starting throughout the year, along with several promising underclass- men, the Bunkies are expected to be a tourney threat, which very well might de- velop into a combine like that of 1953!

In league play the J. V.'s wan nine and lost two, thereby winning the S. Y. C. L. J. V. championship. The team was made up of six sophomores and six iuniors. Individual scoring honors went to Mark Snow and Bob Smith, how- ever, much credit is due all the boys, who showed improvement as the season progressed. Many of these boys had had very little basketball experience, but because of the improvements shown during the year, the season was most successful. On the first call for candidates for this year's freshman basketball team, twenty boys turned out, with sixteen remaining on the squad until the end of the season. Although most of those reporting had little previous experience, improvement was noted as the season pro- gressed. The season's record against freshman and iunior high com- petition was four wins and seven losses. Those who should be of as- sistance' to the junior varsity and varsity squads during the coming years include Jimmy Shields, Bobby Knight, Gordon Jackson, and Paul Dumont. Several others may also press for berths on the J. V. squad next year. Ffwolunau Bao Standing: P. Dumont, R. Turner, J. Hobson, R. Bonnin, R. Brown, R. Cheney, A. Gilblair, R. Knight P. Garrett, N.

The 1955 baseball season under the able leadership of new head coach, Tom Vail, and assistant Coach, Mario Di Fred- erico, proved to be successful. The RAMS, fielding an all veteran team, ran into early season difficulties losing to O. O. B. 3-1 and York 11-6. These two set backs spoiled the RAM'S bid for the Southern York County League championship, however, the team broke into the win column on their second encounter and defeated a strong Berwick Academy nine 6-5 behind the strong six-hit pitching of Vin Wills. The RAMS, just starting to get their hitting shoes on, won four out of their next six but fell short of the league title, trailing the pennant winner, Old Orchard Beach, by one game at the season's end. Much of the team's success was due to the timely hitting of center fielder, Von Cameron, and catcher, Sonny Ridlon. Coach Vail predicts that next spring's six returning starters combined with several promising under- classmen could develop into a championship team. STRAIGHTEN 'EM OUT, DON!

In retrospect the members of the student body as well as the members of the track team have a right to be proud of their team's performance during the spring of 1955. A small squad of some 10 boys participated in a schedule of eight meets K5 dual or triangular and 3 championshipi with :1 splendid record. The season was climaxed by an exceptional effort that gave K.H.S. a fourth place in a field of 13 schools. Bob Johnston, although hampered by a leg iniury all season, was the leading point-getter with ample assistance from Conrad Berdeen, Bob Dowd, Paul Durette, Mike Searles, Mark Snow, John Sullivan and Bill Mercier. This winter the track team participated in the Portland Suburban Track League for the first time. Coach Thompson is looking forward to the spring of 1956, fvhen, with his many veterans and a much larger squad, he topes to complete the most successful track season in years. 4 if . K.H.S. K.H.S.
