CLASS OF 1940 As We look over the history of the class of l94O, We can see that it has been outstanding in many Ways. Although most freshmen classes are comparatively inactive, our class broke all precedent by sponsoring a dog show that was nationally recognized. lt was most certainly a unique event. ln our sophomore year We continued to be differentfbeing the only underclassmen ever to sponsor the Winter Carnival. Since that time it has been sponsored by the seniors. When We sponsored it again this year, it Was the most successful it has ever been. The only outstanding feature of our junior year was the play, Big Hearted Herbert, which had the largest attendance of any junior class play held at Maine. Everyone enjoyed the Spanish atmosphere of our junior Prom and the unique background of the Senior Prom. In our senior year we did what no class at Maine has ever done: We produced a play Written by a member of the class. In this play could be seen many of the outstanding personalities of our class. Among them is a student who appears on a weekly radio program. However, our class has not been interested in social activities alone. We have the first junior members that were ever elected to the National Honor Society.
