THE 1946 PEP PAGE THREE D ILY BREEZES SEPTEMBER The school is almost overfiowing with students. The enrollment is three hundred sixty plus a few. lt's too far to walk to the office to find out exact- ly, after the tiresome first day. The teachers must have liked us last year. They're all back with the exception of Mr. Brown. Mr. Lapham is taking his place. It's too soon to tell what he's like. The enrollment is going up, a few were a day late getting here, probably resting up after the summer vacation. Assembly today with Mr. Thomas giving us his ideas of what school is for. Sounds serious. The eighth grade needs a lot of intro- ducing to lots of things, among them the book situation. They'll wear themselves out if they really study the armfuls of books they carry home, besides putting us in the wrong. We got out ten minutes early this noon after a rally for the game with Cony tomorrow. If the outcome of the game depends on our cheering, we were told, we're sure to lose. We can't seem to do things right-too quiet at rallies and too noisy in corri- dors. Record dance tonight. Cony swamped us last Saturday. Mr. Cobb is making sure everyone sees all and hears all by his annual testing of eyes and ears. It would be hopeless to try to get most of us to know all . 'Clarence' spoke to us in assembly about selling magazines. Our goal is 5225.00 net. Rosalie Jamison and John Whytock are in charge of the contest. ' The Juniors received their class rings. One Sophomore girl is Bashing one so soon. Fast work. J ' Softball is under way with Mr. Norton as coach. Rally for the first home game. Wilton won Saturday. Everything seems to be going wrong on this blue Monday, even the magazine sales. Some ambitious Senior sold one sub- scription. Barbara Mawhinney does not think much of the Seniors' sales- manship. There's a lot of, talk about skipping school this week to go to the Andover fair. We don't quite dare, Mr. Thomas might not like it. Debating is being resumed with Miss Bragoli as sponsor. The band held its first practice during activity period. From now on they'll practice every Tuesday. Rally for the game with Farmington. Coach Cobb thinks it's time we won a game. A ocToBER We didn't win the game Saturday. Four new pupils came in today. Mex- ico High is getting popular. There are quite a few pupils from Dixfield. Band practice, Student Council meet- ing, and lots of talk about the Fresh- man initiation that's scheduled for Friday night. Some of the Freshman girls are having their hair done Thurs- day so they'1l look beautiful at the reception Friday night. Wait till the Sophomores get through with it Fri- day morning. Wow! It's money thrown away, Freshies. The magazine campaign didn't go so well-too big a year last year with the two-year subscriptions. The furnace broke down, so we had to go home to keep warm. p The Freshmen came to school all dressed upf' Four of the boys couldn't take it. The Freshies expressed their great devotion to the Sophomores and proved it by carrying their books for them. Rally for the game with St. Dom's. We won a game Saturday and we really did win it. The Seniors selected their graduation announcements and name cards. A few so-called Seniors are taking quite a chance investing money in a grad- uation as things stand right now. Edith Smith is back in school as sec- retary to the principal. Alfreda Smith and Sophie Drakus assist her.
