I CLASS HISTORY QContinuedJ Bowen. We then initiated the shy and dubious Freshmen on September 15, 1953, making them parade down the street with their gala effects, but we softened mem with a warm reception to McIA, to become official members along with us. For fic- tivities we had another dance during the first half of the school year and we tooklypart in the Prize Speaking Contest in which we fared quite well, having a member 6f our class winning and coming in third with the other schools. In basketball we ha two girls from our class that were on the first teamg and, for the boys, we had one on , first team. We put on a play called Oh Baby, in which we were in competitiory with the other classes for the One Act Play Contest. We came in last but it was fun anyway. Ruth Bailey transferred to Peacham Academy. Dixie Dickey transferred from Groton High School for the year. Mr. Powell was our class advisor. JUNIOR YEAR . On September 9, 1955, we held our first class meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Joan White, Vice-President, Patricia Littleg Secretary, Doro- thy Dubeg Treasurer, Jerolyn Newell, and Student Council, Carroll Choate and Patricia Fenn. As you all know, we were eager beavers to earn money. 'So, our class planned a food sale. Later, in October, we had the Halloween Party. In girls' basketball, we had four girls from our class on the first team and two boys for the first team on the boys' team. Also, in Prize Speaking this year, we had the honor of having one of our classmates, Patricia Little, come out third. Our class this year had the same number of students as it had last year, with the exception of Joyce Buskey leaving School. Dixie Dickey transferred to Groton and Kenneth De Rusha took her place. Mr. Powell was our class advisor again this year. SENIOR YEAR School opened September 9, 1953. We enrolled with 18 members this year. Russell Moore left us to join the Army. The members of the Senior Class are: Irene Goss and Joan White from Barnet, Justine Brooks from East Barnetg Patricia Fenn from Waterford, Kenneth DeRusha, Ramona Dickinson, William and Alfred Nelson from East Ryegateg Patricia Little and Jerolyn Newell from Mclndoesg Leonard and Shirley Bowen, Carolyn and Carroll Choate, Dorothy Dube, Richard Hailey, Gayle Lang, and Irene MacDonald from Monroe. We had elected the following officers at the end of our Junior year: President, Dorothy Dube, Vice-President, Leonard Bowen, Treasurer, Irene Goss, Secretary, Irene MacDonald, and Student Council, William Nel- son and Shirley Bowen. November 17 we put on Mrs. Plaster of Paris, a three-act comedy-drama. Twelve members of the Senior Class participated in it. Gayle Lang was the main character. We have sold chocolate bars and refreshments at the ball games and during school this year. After we came back from Christmas vacation we were very busy with the Spitfire. We have enjoyed our four years at Mclndoes Academy and we will miss coming back next year.
