Berniece Tripp, '30 JUNIOR REPORT In the fall of 1929, thirty-three pupils entered Mechanic Falls High School as Juniors and began trying to mold themselves into dignified Seniors for the coming year. The first important event of the year was to elect four good, capable people for officers. Th e y are: President, Agnes Huestong Vice-President, Will- iam Golssg Treasurer, Robert Mills, Secretary, Beulah Ridley. The first social of the year was given November 8, 1929 in the auditorium of the new high school building. One of its best features was a Mock Wed- ding which was very amusing. With the aid of our Friend and Teacher, Mrs. Helen Aaron it proved to be quite a success. Another important thing was the purchase of class pins which are very pretty and attractive. The class began a task in january which all Juniors have to undertake. That is, making ready for Junior Prize Speaking which was held on March 28. Those who took part in the finals are: Brenda Strout, Paul Goss, Mary Farrar, Robert Mills, Beulah Ridley, Rudolph Waldron, Marian Campbell and William Goss. Those from the Junior Class who took part in Athletics for the year are: M. Farrar, D. Herrick, G. Cox, R. Mills, W. Goss, P. Goss and C. Stone. There are also four of the juniors who are members of the School Orches- tra, namelyz- Helen Harmon, Alice Whittier, Mildred Strout, and Ruth Thompson. Although we have tried our best this year we hope to do much better in our last, remaining year. Beulah A.
