All day we had to wear unusual clothes, carry books for the Sophomores, carry um- brellas, and all that goes with it. ln the evening we were given a formal initiation and social by the Sophomores. Several of us took part in dramatics dur- ing the year. In the fall each class put on an entertainment in Assembly. Our class had a short play, Bridget's Mistalkeqllzrand most of the members helped out, Helen Knapp and Beatrice Morrell took part in the Carnival play, His First Shave. Helen Knapp, Beatrice Morrell, and Mi- nerva Sillanpaa were in the Senior play, Who Killed Aunt Caroline?

14 THE ABRAM BREEZE THE CLASS OF 1950 SOPHOMORE CLASS First row, loft to right: J. McLaughlin, L. Taylor, J. Trenholm, D. Vose, P, Wilbur, Ii. Huntington. Second row: A. Thompson, W. Dunham, B. Morrell, L. Brackley, G. Boyce, R. Rigrgrs, R. Moldrum. Having discarded the behavior and rank of Freshmen, and assumed the role of Sophomores, the class of 1950 entered in the fall of 1947 upon its new responsi- bilities and privileges. A few weeks after the beginning of school our class appointed the following officers: President Dena Vose Vice President Phyllis Wilber Secretary Jean Trenholm Treasurer Louise Taylor Student Council Representative James McLaughlin On September 26, our class initiated the Freshmen. A Vic-dance followed. This was our first real activity of the year. Some of the students who participated in or helped with student activities were Louise Taylor, who served on the ticket committee by helping to make a good part of the tickets and by selling them, and Dena Vose, who took part in the Carnival Play. Six boys participated in cross country last fall. ln the North Franklin County Cross Country Meet, Russell Riggs came in first and in the State Meet he was the first of our team to come in. Thus, Kingfield received fourth place. Two girls, Dena Vose and Phyllis Wil- ber, played basketball this year. Eight of our nine boys went out for bas- ketball last fall. Unfortunately, Wendell Dunham broke his arm in one of the last games and he was unable to play in the tournament. At the end of the basketball season, a foul shooting contest was held between the classes with our class coming out on top. The trophies, which were awarded to the winners, were won by Dena Vose and Burchell Morrell. Occasionally, our class sold refreshments at basketball games and during recesses, with the profit going toward our Senior Class Trip. Eight of our boys are out for spring track. ln the intereclass meet Austin Thompson won the most points with Lewis Brackley coming in second.
