The Whirlpool T —— Е The student council members elected were James Johnson and Jane aton. The people selected for the Freshman Reception committee were: James Johnson, Jane Eaton, Edra Maxwell. and Neal Merrill. The reception went off very well. We made the Freshmen feel rather foolish, but I think they had a good time. There was a dance afterwards. In extra-curricula activities of the school, our class has taken an important part. Some of the boys tried out for the rifle team. Our class js proud to mention Jane Eaton, the only girl from our class who went го Portland to enter the Y. M. C. A. swimming meet. Also we must mention the basketball teams. On the boys’ team we had Donald B. Hall, Donald F. Hall, Philip Kupelian, Neal Merrill, Warren Bowe, Raymond Field, and Vernon Pollard. On the girls’ team we had Jane Eaton, who plays guard and center beautifully, Edra Maxwell, a dashing gal who plays center, and Catherine MacDonald, who also plays center. | In closing, we must mention that we have been living up to the mean- ing of the word Sophomore very well. Mr. Record works hard to keep us all quiet, but someone always has to keep us a little longer by making more noise. One great fault of the class is its noise and we are told that there must not be noise in school. But just the same, we all think that without the class of 1941 something would be missing. CATHERINE MACDONALD. Freshman Notes The class of 1942 began the past year with fourteen pupils, but after several late entries and three withdrawals our enrollment numbered fifteen. In our first class meeting Genevieve Blake and Earle Glass were elected to the student council. At the next meeting we elected class officers as follows: President, DOROTHY COLLEY Vice-President, ARLENE WEATHERBEE Secretary, MAE MUZZY Treasurer, MADELINE GRANT When Mae Muzzy moved out of town, Edgar Dauphinée was chosen secretary. The first event on our social calendar was the Freshman Reception, sponsored by the Sophomores. Though some of us entered the hall with weak knees, we soon found that those domineering upperclassmen were quite harmless. In spite of the fact that we have had but one opportunity to raise money, this one and only social at Thanksgiving time was a decided suc- cess. A turkey raffle, class skits, and dancing made up most of the program. In athletics the Freshmen have not been as illustrious as other classes, with but a few showing interest. In track. Edgar Dauphinée and Roland Humphrey have been our only representatives. Basketball seemed to appeal only to girls. Those who came out for it were: Betty Bowe, Evrinome Peterson, Edith Norton, Madeline Grant, Arlene Weatherbee, Dorothy Witham, and Louella Boyd. Practically all the girls went out for volley- ball. In the swimming meet last fall, Genevieve Blake was our sole repre- sentative, but she made a fine showing. We have spent this year getting organized and acquainted. but we plan to do bigger and better things, both athletically and socially, when we return as Sophomores. LOUELLA ВОҮР.

14 The Whirlpool | Junior Activities We Juniors began the year with the new laboratory as our home room. We like the room very much, but at times the odors are indescribable. Annie Thibodeau and Almon Hall were elected as our representatives in the student council. At our first class meeting we chose the following class officers: President, MADELINE MERRILL Vice-President. BETTY COOPER Secretary, BETTY BLAKE Treasurer, HELEN WINSLOW At the same mecting we made plans for a Christmas social. The Junior class won first prize with the stunts they put on at the Freshman party. The Junior boys were dressed as girls and presented a fashion parade. Two of the Junior girls were dressed as prize fighters: Helen Winslow took the part of Max Schmeling. Shirley Frost the part of Joe Louis. These two girls engaged in a rough fight, ending in a victory for Joe Louis. The Junior Christmas social was given December 15. The nickelodian which was to furnish the music refused to work, but thanks to volunteers the social was a success. The Junior class took over the candy business after Christmas with Laura Thompson and Marguerite Perry selling the goods. Our class has taken an active part in all school activities. The girls won the interclass volleyball and interclass basketball pennants. The boys won the interclass track plaque. The Junior boys on the basketball team were: Almon Hall and Neal Morey. On the girls’ basketball team were: Madeline Merrill, Shirley Frost, Helen Winslow, Annie Thibodeau, and Beatrice Scribner. There are eight Juniors in the band: Madeline M errill, Helen Winslow, Annie Thibodeau, Shirley Frost, Arthur Laurence, and Betty Cooper as Drum Major. Nearly all of the Juniors are taking part in the glee clubs. The Junior boys ran a Hoop-La booth at the Senior fair. It was very successful. Junior boys out for track are: Neal Morey and Almon Hall; the same boys are going out for baseball. À pop-concert was given by the Junior class March 31 in collabora- tion with the musical organizations. The motif and decorations were Spanish. A short musical program was given by the Pennell Orchestra and glee clubs. Miss Betty Cooper. Miss Marion Hawkes, and William Duplisea were soloists. After the concert dancing was furnished by a fine orchestra from Portland. Refreshments were served by Juniors dressed in Spanish cos- tumes. The decorations were very striking and were much admired. This was the first pop-concert ever presented here and was a magnificent success. This year has been a very successful year for the class of 1940 and we feel that we are capable of taking over new responsibilities and duties as Seniors next year. ARTHUR LAURENCE. Sophomore Notes The Sophomore class started off the new year by having a class meet- ing to elect student council members, and class officers. Class officers were elected as follows: President, PHILIP KUPELIAN — Vice-President, CATHERINE MACDONALD Secretary, VIRGINIA BARTON Treasurer, DONALD B. HALL Class Advisor, MR. RECORD
