CLHSS HISTUHU SEPTEMBER, 1945. We did not suddenly find ourselves in the ninth grade. No one wondered where the summer had gone, nor did anyone institute an exhaustive search to dis- cover our new memters. We straggled in as slowly as possible and gathered in uneasy little groups, greeting school with reluctance and newcomers with distrust. Only after we were firmly seated and duly enrolled as members of the Freshman class did we look about. Our homeroom was among the charts and test tubes of the laboratory. Miss Maguire was ourm homeroom teacher. Dick Tellier and Paul Moore had left for Pembroke, otherwise we were essentially the same class that had left the eighth grade two months previously. We had been joined by the Hansen twins, Nancy Chase, Anne Reagan, Donna Russell and Ruth Ellan Chipman--all looking very demure. Near the door sat Teddy Mitchell, a newcomer, Ten minutes after the nine o' clock bell had rung, a lean, blonde young man, with sandy hair and scattered freckles, sauntered in. Then we met Frank Cashman. It was an eventful year: we dramatized part of Nlvanhoen for the P.T.A., and our scale model of the High School won first prize for the table decorations at the Annual Banquet. Scattering our laurels carelessly behind us, we moved on to grade ten. SEPTEMBER, 1946. We were assigned once again to Miss Maguire and the Science Room. Henry Giorgetti, Eddie Wyman and Teddy Mitchell had departed. ,Eddie Baldwin had joined the Navy, and Tommy Hall had forsaken us to become a Milton Man. Entering our class were the MacD0ugalls and Peter Clark. In the middle of the year Mr. Rogean left and we greet- ed Mr. Small, who soon recognized our calibre. This was our first year in the Inter-class Play competition. After learning lines the night before the performance, we presented nElmer.n A wise, aesthetic audience award- ed us the popular vote. We instigated the Christmas semi-formals with our highly success- ful dance. Although we did not win the centerpiece prize at the Banquet, it was obvious that the Sophomore table was superior. SEPTEMBER, 1947. The Junior Class found it had lost Gerald Schindler and Earl Nash. In their places were Charles Mead with his impersonations and Fred Seaquist with his smile. We had moved to Mrs. Joyce's room. College and Com ercial English joined to form one group, otherwise, our high school routine was unchanged. After we had acclimated ourselves, we plunged into preparations for the Inter-class Play. Following exhaustive rehearsal, we presented NThe Tantrum.n It was well received but did not win the prize. In the spring, we did recapture the Banquet prize. In the school basketball tournament, our teams, both boys and girls, won the championship. We were ready to become Seniors. SEPTEMBER, 1948. We returned to Miss Maguire and the Science Room. Pete Clark had left Kthe maidens weptl and Walter Brown arrived. Since September we have thought only of June. After presenting our prize winning play nDead or Aliven fcompetent judges this year! we started work on the nSh1pbu1ldern and our graduation. Now we are worldly and cosmopolitan, experienced and wise. Our manners, viewpoint, and habitsbear the mark of maturity. Now we must face the world. .at Ff . . Names pa-21+ -BJ! , I , M Amt?

The entire class worked for this gala affair, and the four or five people who attended enjoyed themselves immensely. 13
