QlaAA, FRESHMAN YEAR We entered the Major V. E. Edwards, Sr. High School on a warm beautiful morning in September of the year 1945. We were an excited group of happy freshmen, eagerly looking forward to a happy and successful four years at Major Edwards High. Soon we found ourselves scattered along the corridors, but finally were ushered into Room 3, where a tall, dark man, who answered to the name of Mr. Namen, was waiting to greet us. A few moments later we found out that he was to be our homeroom teacher for our first year at Edwards High. After being given school supplies and hastily seated in places assigned to us, we settled down to the great task of electing class officers. President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer . Howard Johnston Mildred Fallavollita Jeanette Deschenes William Teachout Jim Bristol, who hailed from New Jersey, joined our happy group at the beginning of the year. The humor which Jimmy so easily distributed was certainly appreciated by all of his classmates. Another addition at that time was Barry Whitman. After becoming accustomed to the ringing of bells, to finding ourselves in the wrong classes at the wrong time, and to doing the amount of homework given us, we decided to put on a freshmen play. Freddie Plays Cupid , under the direction of Mr. Namen, proved to be a great success, much to the astonishment of the upper classmen. With our first year coming rapidly to an end, we found ourselves thinking of a summer vacation which was ahead of us and wondering what we were going to do. SOPHOMORE YEAR The summer quickly passed and September found us once again wander- ing throughout the familiar corridors of Edwards High. To our surprise, we found ourselves once again being led to Room 3 where Mr. Namen was to act as our class advisor for our second year. Ray Merrill, a new addition, was heartily welcomed into our happy group. Settling down, we elected the following class officers: President . Vice President Secretary . Treasurer . James Bristol Howard Johnston Mildred Fallavollita William Teachout
