Ruth Thompson, '31 JUNIOR REPORT In the fall of 1930 twenty-nine boys and girls entered Mechanic Falls High School as Juniors. Since then, one has left. The first happening of note was the election of class officers with the result that Harold McAllister was elected President, Thelma Bridgham, Vice- Presidentg Ethel Mixer, Secretary, and Rodney Austin, Treasurer. The class gave a Hallowe'en social October 31, 1930. The name of the play was, Sauce for the Goslings . S. PILOT 13 An assembly was conducted by the juniors, October 17, 1930.

H M. F. H. S. PILOT In the winter term the Sophs had good practice in debating. In the semi- finals of the tournament the Sopho- mores won over the Freshmen and the finals were won over the Seniors. Shortly after, we debated with Leavitt Institute and did not have such good luck. Those Sophomores participat- ing in debating were: Carolyn McCallister, Iola Chase, Hertha Rid- ley, Lester Chipman, Julian Goss and Frank Carter. Iola Chase, Lester Chipman and Frank Carter also par- ticipated in the interscholastic debate. We have had some representatives in the various athletic sports of the school. Marjorie Keene and Carolyn MeCallister made the first team in basketball. Aubrey Hoyle was the only boy to make the first team. Sev- eral are expecting to go out for base- ball this spring. During the fall term we held a social and will hold another in the near fu- ture. Tn the first social a play, called 'fFlittermouse',. was presented. Those taking part were: Iola Chase, Lois Millett, Carolyn McCallister and Ern- est MacDougall. A good sum of money was netted for t h e c l a s s treasury. We hope that all our classmates will be back with us next year, as Juniors. Hertha Ridley, '33 FRESHMAN REPORT At the beginning of this school year there were fifty-eight pupils who en- tered High School, as Freshmen. As was expected, we all got our share of initiation. For class officers we elected: Presi- dent, John Collinsg Vice-President, Rosalie Pikeg Secretary, Aletha Law- lerg and Ralph Campbell, as Treas- urer. Those of the Freshman class who tried out for girls' basketball and suc- ceeded in making the team were: Viola Raymond, Valma Edwards, Helen Keene, Evelyn'Scully, Rosalie Pike and Gladys Hapworth. The only one of the boys who tried out for track was Gilbert Maxim. For the Freshman Assembly Pro- gram we planned our topics in keeping with National Education Week, which was at that time. At the Freshman social, March 27th, a short two-act play entitled Rasp- berry Red was given. The enter- tainment committee selected by the President consisted of: Gladys Hap- worth, Viola Raymond, and Helen Keene. Several of the Freshmen attained an average sufficient to place their names on the Honor Roll, the highest being 96.75 by Emily Bridgham. G. Hapworth, '34
