Class of 1954 Class Officers: President NANCY HOWARD Vice President JULIA BUNKER Secretary MAHLON MCMULLEN Treasurer NORMAN KN APP' Student Council Representative MAHLON MCMULLEN This year some of us again were active in the magazine campaign. Although none of us was high sales-person, enough of us sold so that our class ranked second in the amount of money raised for the school. Seven of us sold, with Norman Knapp, Nancy Howard, and Marguerite Hunting- ton selling over ten dollars and Leone Chadbourne receiving a certificate for sell- ing twenty-five dollars or more. In all, our class sold over eighty dollars worth. Katherine Loucks and Mahlon McMul- len have been strong members of our bas- ketball teams this year. Others who have helped during the season are Leone Chad- bourne, John Edgerly, and Norman Knapp as managers and Jean Pushard as cheer leader. Norman also played second base in last fallis baseball. Class of 1955 Nineteen of last year's Freshmen return- er to become the Sophomores of 1952-53. We elected the following officers: President SHIRLEY WILBUR Vice President GEORGE DAWSON Secretary AMANDA WINTER Early last fall, three of us were cast in the three one-act plays, Leone was promp- ter and John, stage manager. In All the Riversn Norman was the stubborn father who hated to see his daughter leave home, Mahlon, in the same play, was a friend of the family. Victor Nichols, in Thingv, was the soap producer who wrote a check for one thousand dollars as first prize in his soap contest. Norman was also in the Carnival Play and in the three-act play. Norman is Editor in Chief of our year- book, with Mahlon being his Assistant Ed- itor. Besides all these activities, Norman took part in public speaking. The two social events we were responsi- ble for were the Junior Prom, held March 13, and the Commencement Dance, June 11. For both these dances we hired Bob's Orchestra. Although we didn't make any money on the Junior Prom, we felt that all who patronized us had an enjoyable even- ing. . This year has marked another step for- ward toward our goal. We are now well on the last half of our way through King- field High School. Treasurer METHEL ATWOOD Student Council Representative PATRICIA WALKER During the first part of the school year we lost two of our classmates: Lynette Douglass and Donald Moody.

Class of 1955 On September 26, 1952, we had the op- portunity to initiate the Freshmen as mem- bers of Kingfield High School. Several from our class have taken part in school athletics as players during the year. They were as follows: Methel At- wood, joanne Meldrum, Shirley Wilbur, and Amanda Winter for girls, Sonny Dyer, David Edgerly, and Clifford Norton for boys. Muriel Winter was one of the man- agers of the girls' basketball team. Methel Atwood, Shirley Wilbur and Amanda Win- ter Were cheer leaders. Later on, Amanda dropped out and Anita Sillanpaa replaced her.

Although we started with twelve pupils, the second week of school two more joined us. They were Helen and Ellen Williams. Unfortun- ately they and Austin Sillanpaa left us be- fore Christmas, thereby reducing our class to eleven members. September 26, 1952: Finally that fatal day has arrived. You guessed it.

Be- sides having parts in these one-act plays, Gail was in public speaking. Other speak- ers from our class were Louise and Albert. As Freshmen we have not held import- ant offices, but we have begun to make ourselves an active part of the school.
