M 1 A ,Ng or H o N o H P A ra T s .--4 CJ L A S S P4 I S T O R Y Paul Ordway On a Wednesday morning in Septenp ber 1941, a group of seventy-four chattering, large-eyed youngsters outfitted in brand new clothes tramped over the school grounds of Pembroke Academy. As a number of towns were repre- sented.it took us considerable time to get acquainted. After the tur- moil had settled somewhat, and the classes became better organized, we conducted our first class meeting with Miss Stevens as our class ad- visor. We elected William Welch, as presidentg Glorie Henry, vice-pres- identg Alfred Sawyer,secretaryg and Solon Colby, treasurer. As freshmen we participated in many school activities such as base- ball,prize speaking, glee club, and the school dances. When basketball season came, we were well repre- sented at practice and three of our players, Wilma Gale, Clayton Batch- elder, and William Welch, earned their versity letters. The annual Austin Memory Prize Speaking Contest was held on December 18, at which time Joanne Henricksen won second prize. When winter snows disappeared and spring came, baseball practice started in full swing under the supervision of Mr. Jennings, with the freshmen contributing two play- ers--Gerald Lafondf--and William Welch. When it came time for us to spon- sor the St. Patrick's dance,we were rather confused,but under the guid- ing hand of our class advisor, Miss Stevens, we transformed the bleak hall into a place of rare beauty. As the school year came to an end, we had changed from a bunch of chat- ter boxes to a group of studious individuals. -nug- In September l942,Pembroke Acad- emy once again threw its doors open to the class of '45, We found some of our classmates missing, but we welcomed three new members--Jeanne Levesque, James Bates, and Francis Davis. At our first, class meeting we elected James Bates, presidentg Wilma Gale, vice-presidentg Gerald Lafond, secretary, and Solon Colby, treasurer. Gnce again, Miss Stevens was our class advisor. When basketball season arrived, we were proud to have Bill Welch become one of the stars on the var- sity team. At the Austin Memory Prize Spams ing Contest, Joanne Henricksen won first prizeg and at the Original Prize Speaking Oontest Raymond Fife won first prize. At baseball practice the sopho- more class was well represented and worked hard towards the success of the team' After a long-needed summer vaca- tion,we once again entered Pembroke Academy and began our junior year. For officers we elected James Batea as presidentg Stuart Gile, vice- presidentg Glorie Henry, secretaryg and Raymond Fife, treasurer. This year we were welcomed by a new clas advisor,Miss Price, as Miss Stevens had left to accept a position at Laconia High School. In both basketball and baseball we were well represented with the basketball team made up of a large number of juniors. The high scorers were Stuart Gile with 170 points, Raymond Fife with 92 points, and Bill Welch with 90 points, At the Austin Memory Prize immk- ing Contest James Bates won fourth prizeg and at the Original Prize Speaking Contest Elsie Yeaton won first prize. Norman Bonenfant was one of the three reprssentativns
