-611 PazsHW-'N A Op -1 IDA. .na 111 H o 1 O E .za-J li . Cfau .Mafory FRESHMAN YEAR - In the year 1947, in the hallowed halls of Old Orchard Beach High School, an aura of greenish hue emanated from hither to yon. Was it St. Patrick Day lep- rechauns? No, it was sixty-two fumbling. noisy, curious freshmen. K We lost some of the fumbling and noise as we crawled the length of the gymna- sium on our hands and knees at Freshman Reception. The curiosity remained with us and caused our noses to find their way around in studies and extra-curricular ac- tivities. The noise crept back as we held that first memorable class election and these officers emerged victorious: President Dan Farrington, Vice-President Anne Shrayb- man, Secretary Norma Staples, and Trea- surer Beverly Hunter. In the fall, the gridiron felt the tread of Bob Methot, Harry Larsen, Bob Mon- roe and Paul Picard. There was nothing remotely green about these players who made the varsity and have been on it ever since. Paul Picard made basketball team, and JayVees was made by: Tom Blaney, Dan Farrington, Bob Davis, Harry Larsen, and Richie Rich. Mary Sloan was the lone girl to make girls' team. Shirley Reed became a cheerleader. We were definitely sports minded. We took part in all clubs, and made a record in Prize Speaking when Marilyn Webb and Thomas Dupuis won priies. Before we knew .it, June was uhustin' out all over and we were sophomores. THE OCEANA SOPHOMORE YEAR As studious sophomores, we returned to school ready to work toward a bright goal. Expertly conducting our first meeting, we quickly elected Harry Larson, 'presidentz William Hutto, vice-presidentg Norma Staples, secretary, Patricia Maguire, trea- surer. We delegated Shirley Reed, Howie Lunt, and Richie Rich to Student Council. Again we were tops in sports. Football claimed Paul Picard, Harry Larsen, Fred Bellevue, Bob Monroe, Howie Lunt, Dick Howard, Richie Rich and Dan Farring- ton. Our basketeers on the varsity were: Harry Larsen, Robert Davis, Paul Picard. Howie Lunt, and Richie Rich. On Jay- Vees we had Tom Blaney, Dan Farring- ton, Bob Wright, Fred Bellevue, and George Cote. The only girl to make the varsity team was Pat Stansberry. Lucille LeGendre and Mary Sloan played on the JayVees. HPutting the old wood to the apple were: Richie Rich, Paul Picard, Howie Lunt, Harry Larsen and Bob Monroe. Half the Prize Speaking contestants were juniors: Shirley Reed and Marilyn Webb. winners. and Anne Shraybman. Margaret Crosby, and Dick Howard' In addition to giving the freshmen a dance. we put on a St. Patrick dance with the hall decorated like a bit of old Ire- land. and Irish shamrocks and wit ap- peared everywhere. By the end of the second year, we thought that we were 'full of enough knowledge and wisdom to take us through to the junior year. 19
