The thought uppermost in all our minds was to put on a good front for those haughty seniors, who were soon to initiate us. After putting in a muddled week we finally accustomed ourselves to high school life. In our first class meeting we elected our class officers, Jack Richardson as president, Loretta Godbout as vice president, Diane Carleton as secretary, and Walter Blandin as treasurer. It wasn't long before the dreaded Freshman Hop arrived. After a day of vigorous activity which seemed never to end, the time came for a showdown. The evening's entertainment was provided at our expense for the delight of the seniors. Dancing followed, and we were finally able to attend after long hours spent scrubbing off all the war paint. We felt quite proud of the outcome of the tirst evening social we put on. Luckily it was a mistletoe dance so we had a huge attendance. The party was a gay and successful affair. Soon after we made plans for our freshman assembly. After an address by a guest speaker, a musical program was presented. The boys' quartet made a great hit with the audience.

THE RECORD 13 Even though we had enjoyed our year as pea-green Freshmen we were all very eager to step up one more rung to the Sophomore class and lose the title of the Babies of Littleton High. II The next September we came back--49 full-fledged Sopho- mores-with a clearer outlook on the high school days ahead of us. The first thing we did was to get together and elect our class leaders. Than Carmen was our president, Bill Silver, vice president, Sheila Simons, secretary, and Bill Stoddard, treasurer. The annual weiner roast was held at the Littleton gravel pit. Students attended at their own risk. As usual it proved enjoyable, just ask some of the alumni. Other activities we sponsored as Sophomores were the Sadie Hawkins dance, where every girl had a chance to prove that women aren't the weaker sex, and the Sophomore Assembly, put on at Christmas time, and based on the origin of Silent Night. This proved to be very successful. Also we can stick out our chests and proudly announce that We introduced a new activity to Littleton High School-the April Fool's dance. So, with these memories behind us, we graduated from gay, young Sophomores to jolly Juniors. III At last we were Juniors. Now we're REALLY upper class- men, we told ourselves, as we eyed next year's crop of Freshmen. Already we were making plans for next year. We carried these thoughts with us during our Junior year, even though we were often occupied with class activities. So, September 18th, we held our first class meeting and elected officers for the year. Russell MacPhee was our new president, Jack Richardson took over as vice president, Lois Greaves became secretary, and Diane Carleton was elected to the risk of keeper of the treasury, squeezing that mighty dollar out of each of us. Something new was added in 1946, a policies committee, for better understanding and co-operation between faculty and stu- dents. We were represented by Marilyn Cady and Bill Stoddard. The annual Weiner roast was planned, but all that showed up at the gravel pit was one Freshman and eleven ants. It was during our Junior year that we got our class rings, mementos of our school days that we shall always treasure. For the first time in the history of Littleton High, rings with onyx stones instead of the traditional all gold ones were purchased. We were certainly original-at least we thought so. The Junior Prom, always a gala affair, claimed our attention. Various committees were appointed and everyone worked hard to make it a success. When we began considering offers concerning our graduation photos, our thoughts again turned to our last year, the big one! So when June came around, we were casting envious glances at the graduating Seniors and muttering, Just Wait 'til next year.
