CLASS H I STORY h Each moment history is being made, Although our graduating class may seem insignificant in number and importance at a time whenworld affairs are so trying, it holds great meaning in the life of each one of us. You see before yous. group of beaming faces. We numbered 63 in September, 1940. Tonight we total 29. The same confusion went on, as with every class trying to decide where to go, what to do, and whom to ask, even though Mr. Beal had given us a .talk on the dc's and dcn'ts of P,A. Jell, we started gallantly on our way--got' to the corvg- ridor upstairs and stopped. Finally, we were pushed into our Freshman room, where we received our books, with our assignments for the next day as well, As this was our first home work assign- ment, each one smilod to think how ma- tured he was, Now, we feel matured without the homework, Then came our first class meeting--1 not conducted according to parliamen- tary law procedure, but in a state of confusion. We elected our officers and everyone was satisfied, The next interesting event was the Freshmen Dance. It was in honor of April, We didnft make 'much financial pin, but a good time was had by all. June came suddenly and our first year at Pembroke Academy was terminated. After a grand vacation, we re-enter- ed school as sophomores. We didn't get lost or forget where to go, and we had a grand time watching the new Freshmn. In prize speaking, Duane Keeler get fourth prize, The Original Prize Speaking Contest gave Duane Keeler first prize and Mary Elizabeth Farnum second prize. That year our class was well repre- sented in sports--in basket ball by Jack Colby, B111 Edmonds, and Gerald Gagneg in baseball, by Rudolphe and Maurice Duford. With the coming of May, came the sophomore dance, Mr, Creighton, our class advisor, gave us very good ideas for decorations. We had a May-pole in the centerof the floor and all the streamers attached t6'it. June came again and half of our high school career was over. Q September eighth re-opened the Ace.- demy doors, and the class of V449 trotted in looking like young men and women. We were all getting older and wiser, but our class was getting smaller. There weren't quite forty pupils that year, We were considered upperclassmen and we were proud of it, In prize speaking, Lily Houghton won fourth prize, Our class participation was stronger . in sports this year. In basket ball, the team was composed mainly of Juniors. In baseball, we had only one junior'--Maurice '-'Duford, as his cousin, Rudolphe, had left for the Service, He is now in England. At this time, Willard Hayden left for the Marines. Gerald 981.8 had also left for the Navy this year, In the school play we had four Jun- icrs participating. They were Barbara Saturley, Charles Vhittemore, Bernice Higgins, and Lily Hougton. With the end of school approaching came the Prom, We decorated the hall so that you could imagine the return of the horse and 'ougy deysfdue to a shortage of gas and tires. We all had a grand time and started our 'location with a bang, Our last year started all right with twelve boys and nineteen girls. Be- fore December, however, we lost Jack Dolby and James Cormier to the Marines and B111 Edmonds to the Navy. That left nine boys, of whom three are in the Aviation Uadet Reserve, those being Howard Robinson, Arthur Fowler, and Maurice Duford. Duane Keeler is inthe Navy. The other five will be in some branch of the Service before long. We Seniorslave a dance in honor of Armistice Day, There was e. large at- tendance and everybody had a great time, We have been very fortunate with our dances--perhaps i.t's the stuff the Seniors are mode cf. In prize speaking Bernice Higgins le d the Seniors with second prize. She, along with Charles Whittemore, re-
