Miss Hubbard came back looking very educated with her 8.8. of E. degree to take over the position of History teacher. Mr. Stefard came to fill the positiSn of Manual Train- ing teacher. Every class put on some sort of entertainment during the year. Not to be left out of any fun, the class decided to sponsor the Sophomore Hop. We made money, only to have it lost on the Junior Prom. We were saddened by the departure of Mary Rita McLaugh- lin, Dorothea Ward, who moved to Windsor and Middlebury respectively, and Charles Penzenick, who joined the Army.

out, boys' shirts, the new Upsweep hair-do, and two different types of shoes and socks. The boys wore girls' skirts and blouses, along with high heeled shoes, and bows in their hair. Some of our classmates left us before entering high school, among them were Mary and Helen Hleba. After a few w6eks of Freshie mistakes and wanderings in a fog , we became acclimated to our new environment and settled down to work. SOP HOMOKE In the fall of 1940 the class of 43 again resumed their studies under the able direction of several new teachers. Among them we find Miss Renehan, who vowed she would put Proctor on the map musically. The French Department started their parlez-vous fran- caise under the direction of Miss Stevens. Mr. Birt, you will remember, stepped in to take the position of coach and physical education teacher.

JUNJOK In the fall of 1941, the Juniors reached the third story of their house of knowledge. As we went to our various classes, we sew a few unfamil- iar faces mixed among the teachers of Proctor High. Miss Gould took over the Home Economics Department, Miss Carlysle the Girls' Physical Education and Miss Mccammon taught English in the Junior High School. When once settled, we elected our class officers. John Ravellini was chosen as class president, Richard Allard, vice-president, while Mary Ostrowski assumed the clerical duties of the class. While our bumps of knowledge swelled and grew and as yet didn't carry all that they could, our treacherous oriental friends broke the flimsy bonds that held our country and theirs together. We were shocked, for this would directly affect us. For our boys and country, we studied harder. It was at this time that Mr. Joy was taken 111. This lengthened our Christmas vacation to two full weeks.
