pemteldo Szeiaagea. Foxcroft Academy - -Academy Review We liked your verses scattered here and there, also the division pages. We hope that next year you will have exchange and literary sections. Ellsworth- -I ester A Your Table of Contents , pictures and drawings were all very original and enjoyable. We hope that you too will add a literary section next year. Madison- -Bulldog The Class Choice and drawings in your year book were outstanding. You could have more informal pictures and a better arrangement of them. Mount Desert--Skipper Your treatment of the faculty page was a new idea which we liked. We also enjoyed the music and sports sections. We hope that you will add constructive criticisms to the exchange column. Very fine year book. Congratulations! Stonington-- The Breeze The Owl column was the best feature in your whole year book, and was very amusing. Next year per haps you could arrange your write-ups in better order. Sullivan--Spindrift Your treatment of the band page was good and also the basketball clippings in the sports section. We would suggest write-ups on various activities as well as pictures. Washbum- -Northland You had one of the few exchange columns and it was by far the best. Your diaper babies and miscel- laneous section were good also. Yours was one of the best year books which we have seen.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of 1956 entered Pemetic High School with an enrollment of 53 members. We were welcomed by the Sophomore class with the traditional Freshman Initiation. During this day of dilemma the girls had to wear men 's pants, shirts, rubber boots, carry an umbrella, and our hair tied up in rope. The boys donned girl 's shorts, high heels, red socks, veils, ribbons, and of course the ever popular lipstick. After this day was over we felt we truly belonged in the high school. Our class officers were elected as follows: President ......... . . Alice Harper Vice President ...... . George Francis Secretary ....... ..... . Roger Pomroy Treasurer ....... ........

Joanne Reynolds, Joseph Dillon We contributed to Pemetic's athletic program by having Jay Ramsdell, Alfred Dow, Philip Dow, Terry Stanby, and Ber- ten Willey on the Jayvee Basketball team. Pauline Dunbar served as substitute on the Jayvee Cheering squad. The Fresh- men were represented in many activities: F. H. A. , G.

We closed our Junior year realizing we had only one more rung to go before we would be at the top of the ladder. The graduating class of 1956 opened it's final year at Pemetic with 36 members.

These four years have been the happiest four years of our lives.
