NEWPORT HIGH SCHOOL l16l Jbisff C ,Tae K W! ww IU ff' 'KUSAUE 3 I-.a'S IK-sf ftlillf N0 CLASS HISTORY As the spring of 1947 arrives, another Senior Class will see its last days at Newport High School before it departs on its long journey into the world. Our thoughts go back over the four happy years that we have spent here, and before us looms our Freshman year. Our class was led that year by Earl O,Farrell, Betty Turner, and Dorothy Garrison as class officers. Our class made a fine beginning in the participa- tion of school sports and activities. Betty Turner was our candidate for Carnival Queen at the annual Winter Carnival. ' We entered into sport activities with Joyce Sheridan playing basketball and Maurice Bradford participating in base- ball. At last we had made the grade into our Sophomore year of high school. We had become now fairly well established in N. H. S., and elected Maurice Brad- ford, Harold Condon, and Hanna Haap- anen as class officers. At Sophomore Speaking, held in the Newport Playhouse, Rosalie Jones won first prize for girls, and Dick Nason first prize for boys, with Lois Bryant as sec- ond best speaker. Other speakers were Joyce Sheridan, Wendall Braley, and Hadley Smith. Our candidate for Carnival Queen this year was Hanna Haapanen. The sports events at the Carnival were up- held by Joyce Sheridan and Maurice Bradford.

THE LIVE WIRE l17l Again, participating in athletics were Joyce and Maurice, with David Rowe and Slug, Condon making promising Also Dick Nason, feats as beginners. Dana Small, Slug Condon and Dick Chambers appeared on the gridiron of the newly organized football team. The word and rank of Juniors', was music to our ears. Our proud and am- bitious class elected Slugv Condon, Hadley Smith, and Hanna Haapanen as class leaders. Ohl How we remember the night of our Junior Prom which was effectively combined with Junior Prize Speaking in the Town Hall. Our committee worked diligently in preparing and decorating the hall for this big event. Speakers chosen were Joyce Sheri- dan, Jean Finnemore, Rosalie Jones, Richard Nason, Hadley Smith and Jack Randall. Joanne Ballard, who was al- ternate, took Jeanis place that night be- cause of the latteris illness. Joyce and Jack were winners of the first prizes and Hadley was judged the second best speaker. Dick', Nason, a top deba-ter, was an extremely active member of the Debate Club this year, having shown great in- terest in this organization since his Freshman year. Again our sports-minded students had taken their places in the field of ath- letics. The year passed quickly with many good times and friendships made by everyone. But there was great anxiety and excitement in our class, as We xi Y I kiwqm Q 'f ,W I 'Y 'K lrvtf Hndfwf A 'JL-.C ' is ' 2--,.:,:, r 5 f e J fi 4 5 I , 4 'M vsif? fitjt ' A wENdmll .
