On September 14, we elected the following officers: President John Carey Vice-President Barbara Nichols Secretary Beverely Chadbourne Treasurer Anne Williamson Student Council Representative Albert Carey The Sophomores are proud to state here that the treasurer of the Student Council, elected last spring by the entire school, is a member of our class, Richard Lovejoy. October ninth, we held Freshman In- itiation. The school yard was full of oddly dressed Freshmen on their knees to the Sophomores saying the tongue twister and shining shoes. Beverely Chadbourne, Anne William- son, and Barbara Nichols have been on Class of 1956 the Honor Roll all year. Doris Meldrum and Albert Carey have joined the girls once. . In the one-act plays 'Take a Letterv and The Ghost Wore Whitey, Louise Phil- brick, Beverely, Barbara, Gail Thompson, and john Carey took part.

Continuation of Class of 1957 CLIFFORD MC C LEARY BYRON PHI L BRICK ELEANOR CH A DBOURNE DOROTHY TRA S K BLANCHE DOUGLAS S On September 9, when we, the Fresh- man Class, prepared to start climbing the tall hard ladder to success by beginning our secondary education, everything seemed strange. High school itself was strange because we had new rooms, new classes, and new teachers. However, the size of our class seemed strangest of all. We have had a class of approximately twenty all through the grades and we left the eighth grade with nineteen, only fifteen of whom returned. Our class con- tinued diminishing as Regina Douglass and Everett Lovejoy dropped out before Christmas. On September 14, We held our first class meeting to choose officers to lead us while climbing our first rung on the ladder. They are as follows: President Michael Tufts Vice-President Adelia Meldrum Secretary Dorothy Trask Treasurer Eleanor Chadbourne Student Council Representative Regina Douglass After Regina left, we had another election for Student Council Representa- tive, and Patricia Norton was chosen. On October ninth, the You just wait until day had arrived on which the Sophomores had the chance to utorturev and initiate the greenhorns . For our Freshman Initiation, the Sophomores pro- vided us with costumes that were both comical and uncomfortable. They were taken from comicbook characters, the gay twenties, and their imagination. Our class has been well represented in all of the extra-curricular activities during the first year of our climb. Elsie, Blanche, Marjorie, Adelia, Patricia, and Dorothy participated in Girls' Basketball. Clifford, Byron, and Michael were on the boys, squad. We had one classmate, Blanche, become a cheer leader. Several students in our class were in- terested in dramatics. Parts were assigned to Adelia and Patricia in Take a Letterv and again in Undertow,'. Dorothy was the ghost in The Ghost Wore Whiteii, and Eleanor gave a reading in the same program. Dorothy, Patricia, and Eleanor participated in the public speaking con- test. We have several members, Eleanor, Marjorie, Adelia, Patricia, and Dorothy, who competed in the fall magazine cam- paign. The third highest salesman for the school was Eleanor, who sold over twenty- five dollars worth. Our class songbirds, Blanche, Marjorie, Adelia, Patricia, and Dorothy, are mem- bers of the Girls' Chorus. Eleanor, Elsie, Adelia, and Patricia have been on the Honor Roll at different times this year. Thus with these students leading us, we have climbed the first rung on our tall ladder to success.
