On September 3, 1947, we, the poor unsuspecting freshmen, innocently climbed the hill to Leicester High School to make our debut. Proud as we were upon our arrival, we soon realized our humble position. After no little confusion, ' we managed to learn who was who, which room was where, and we settled down to our studies. All went fine until initiation. It was then that we became familiar with the laws of the land and just whom we should respect and obey. The Sophomores made that quite clear. It wasn ' t until after we elected our officers that we felt a moderate degree of security. Virgil Toupin was President and Eddie Johnson - Vice President. Secretary and Treasurer were Helen Pengilly and Russell Mullett respectively. Martha Rowden and Dick McDonald were chosen as student council representatives, while practically all other Frosh gained recog¬ nition in athletics or in musical organizations. Thanks to Miss Barre, our class advisor, we weathered the storm of our fresh¬ man year by acquiring poise and reputation, and we could now look forward to the day when we would become Sophomores. Our summer vacation seemed short lived, for it wasn’t long until we were entering the portals of L.H.S. again, but this time as Sophomores. It was now Mr. Noone’s turn to shepherd us. It was here that we lost Dorothy Cookie Laperle, Alona Palmer, the class humorist - Richard Ethier, Virgil Toupin, Leah Perron, Jimmy Powers and gained Ray Kennedy. Elections were soon held and the results were as follows: Dick AlcDonald - President, Irving St. Martin - Vice President, Helen Pengilly - Secretary, and Janet Ashe - Treasurer. Jane Farrow managed the treasury when Janet Ashe transferred early in the year. Ray Smith and Edna Groulx accompanied our Vice President and Secretary in representing us in the Student Council. All in all, our Sopho¬ more year ran smoothly and we gained more strength by doing well in all extra-curricula activities. We now could visualize the day when we would become the mighty Juniors. Om third year began with the re-election of Dick McDonald - President, Irving St. Martin - Vice President, Helen Pengilly - Secretary, and Jane Farrow - Treasurer. This was a very eventful year, for at this time we purchased our class rings and sponsored a most successful Prom. We contributed to the success of all the athletic teams, especially football which was capably coached by Air. Edward Sullivan and Air. James Noone. It was at this time that we lost Peter Jeswick and Louise Lindgren, but we were recompenced by the arrival of William Campbell and Alarion Brandt. Bob Paddock, along with our Vice President and Secretary, represented us on the Student Council. Aliss Scannell, our advisor, willingly gave of her time and invaluable advice to make this year the outstanding year that it was. Just think, soon we would be the lofty Seniors.
