THE 1944 PEP PAGE THREE ,BRI-EEZES SEPTEMBER We're off, with one new superintendent, one new principal, three new teachers, lots of'- new freshmen, and a few new faces in the three upper classes. We've discovered the third new teacher- Miss Tozier isn't a freshman. We gotytold 011' about all the noise we make in the cor- ridors. Mr. Thomas did the telling. I guess he likes peace and quiet. Nobody said anything, so we must have been quiet enough. We still have the same traf- fic system as last year-the longest way 'roun to get to the nearest point and not much time to get there in. According to the lessons we've been having in English lately. it should read in which to get there. That's O. K. for English class. We're having all our classes every day this year-no rotating schedule. Speeding up production. The last of school for this week-only thirty-five more weeks to go. Drive on assembly duesg three dollars on the install- ment plan or two-fifty cash. Dorina Martin is the new cheerleader. New cheers are wanted for the coming football games. Practice has been going on every day. - Football boys excused for physicals. Football boys excused for dental exams. lt 'looks as if these games were going to be rough. No fair biting your opponent, boys. Of course, if those Panthers bite first, that's another story. First string and pick-ups have scrimmage. The magazine men and we had an assembly. He told us some good jokes and mentioned something about selling magazines. Another assembly. This time for a rally to get us pepped up for tomorrow's game with Wilton. The cheering wasn't so hot. but this was our first try at it and maybe the fresh- men are still a little shy? ?? Our first game was a victory over Wilton. For scores refer to the football section some- where in this book. The magazine campaign has started. The Student Council is han- dling the sale of defense stamps again this year. The boys get all the breaks. A good-looking lieutenant talked to the junior and senior bovs about the Army and Navy Air Corps. while we girls carried on in classes. Admissions to all school activities' going up. Ther-e's a new tax this year. No fun. no nothing! Just study and then study some more. , OCTOBER If noise 'means anything, we should win the game against Rumford tomorrow. We made plentv of it at the rallv todav. The Commer- cial Club had a meeting. They didn't sav what for-maybe to elect officers. That will be all written up somewhere else, so I won't bother to put it down here. Rurgford tied us Saturday. They're pretty goo . We went home early today while the teach- ers had a meeting. I bet we get talked oxcr plenty when we're not around. Commercial Club members go bowling. There was no boasting about the scores, so they probably weren't very good. Boys take Aviation Cadet Military Exams with Jean Robinson getting the highest rank. David Durost, John Crosby, Daniel Fowler, and Paul Michaud also passed. No excitement today except that there's no school tomorrow because today is Friday. Friday is really the best day in the week, better even that Saturday, for we have two days to look forward toy Saturday we have only one. Milk has gone up-two cents this year in- stead of one. We don't have to go to school tomorrow on account of Christopher Colum- bus was a great man, and it's his birthday. The sophomores set the freshman styles for Friday. They must have spent their holiday just thinking up Ways to embarrass the poor freshmen. ' We're informed that we must get our work made up on time or lose two percent for every day absent. Those two percents can make a C mark look pretty sick if there are enough of them. The freshmen came to school all dressed up today. All except two were good sports about it. James O'Leary looked pretty chic in that dress. Omer Caron looked cute..Thc evening performance was good. Madison took the game from us Saturday by one point. Orders for magazines are still coming in even though the contest has been over a week. We went way above our quota. We had to get out of school early today-quarter of three. There's a meeting going on about War Ration Book 4. I bet our mothers will be glad to hear that they're going to get another nice new ration book to carry. Only one session of school todayg the teach- ers are giving out Ration Book four in the afternoon and evening. . Again, one session. That doesn't mean we don't get our six week exams though. We've been having them all through the week. Are the answers to all those qusetions in our books? Our third one session day in a row. Exams are over, and ranks closed today for the first ranking period. Now, we'll just keep our lingers crossed until those rank cards come out. George Fogarty's birthday. Some of our exams came back to us. We still have a little hope. They coun.t only one third or one fourth on our Iinal marks.
