The TATTLER CLASS OF '49 The freshmen began their school year by calling a class meeting for the purpose of electing oflicers. These were duly voted into their respective oflices as follows: Presi- dent, Donald Millbury, Vice-President, janet Carignang Secretary, Betty Verrill, Treasurer, Virginia Philbrick, member of Student Council, Rita Porter. The second week of school was one of terror for us, as the sophomores were initiat- ing us into the ways of high school. The girls were beautifully dressed in boys' knick- ers, sleeveless shirts, and out-dated shoes. An amazing array of jewelry was to be seen. The boys were perfect models of what the well-dressed tramps were wearing that sea- son. Their costumes consisted of green sweaters and shorts worn wrong side out and backwards, and enough make-up to paint a battleship. Both boys and girls were forced to bow to upperclassmen and declare that they were green. On the last evening of that frightful week, under the vigilant super- vision of the sophomores, we performed be- fore a large audience. We shall never forget how cute Annette Lamb looked on Arlen Wentzell's lap! janet johnson and Donald Millbury made a handsome married couple, with Janet as the husband and Donald play- ing the part of the blushing bride. Many of the girls in our class went out for basketball with Betty Verrill and Nat Ste- ward winning places on the first team. Arlen Wentzell represented the freshman boys. This spring we hope to put on a one act play under the supervision of Miss Shaw. With finals but a few weeks off, we are all making resolutions to study harder. Those who pass may be seen next year in the sec- tion of the Main Room reserved for the proud sophomores. SYLVIA HUNT '49 5 1 'f iq

The TATTLER CLASS OF '46 Senior class officers were elected early in the year as follows: President, Paul Ellis, Vice-President, Hope Soucie, Secretary and Treasurer, joan Russell, Representatives on the Student Council, Mona Wilcox, Mar- garet Irish, Grace Wilbur, and Paul Ellis. Our first important event of the year was the Senior Drama, Shiny Nose. This proved to be a very successful presentation. Since it was almost an impossibility to cast any play requiring boys because of their current scarcity, we borrowed two from the junior class and accepted the offer of Mr. Lamb to enact one of the roles. The class wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Lamb for his faithful coaching of our plays from the time we were sophomores. The following students went out for bas- ketball: Margaret Irish, Mona VV ilcox, joan Russell, and Paul Ellis. In january, we sponsored a dance which everyone seemed to enjoy. In March the school renewed interschol- astic one-act play competition. The play chosen required an all-girl cast, and all those participating were selected from the senior class. They were Margaret Irish, joan Rus- sell, Grace Wilbur, and Hope Soucie. Claw honors for our four years' academic work have been announced as follows: V aledictory, Margaret Irish, Salutatory, joan Russell, third honor, Grace Wilbur, and fourth honor, Hope Soucie. There will be cause for us to rejoice when we leave Rangeley High in june, but amid our joy there will be room for a few lumps in the throat and a dash of tears. We have had fun during our high school career. Bykxscia MAC Ivan '46 CLASS OF '47 ' The junior class became organized on September 14, when we held a class meet- ing and elected the following ofiicers: Pres- ident, Gilbert Philbrick, V ice-President, Mabel Keep, Secretary-Treasurer, Richard Ellis. At the beginning of the year we wel- comed a new student, Minnie Dyer, thereby increasing our number to 13. No girls from our class participated in basketball, but the boys more than made up for this by nearly all being in the, starting line-up of each game. They were Gilbert Philbrick, Philip Berry, Cedric Brackett, Richard Ellis, and Peryland Philbrick. Philip was captain of the team. just before our Christmas vacation, we gave the annual social, complete with tree and presents. i We plan' to enter the one-act play contest in April in competition with the other classes. ' Another future activity is the annual jun- ior Prom. We are at -present making careful plans for this so that it may be a big success. MABEL KEEP '47 CLASS OF '48 As we entered our sophomore year, our first event was the Freshman Initiation. For at week the freshmen were dressed in a pecu- liar manner. Our inexperienced victims re- sponded to our commands most unwillingly. Those who disobeyed were vigorously pun- ished. The final night of their torture proved satisfactory to us in more wavs than one, as we made a large profit financially. When the basketball season opened, a large group of both boys and girls tried out for places on the teams. jean Pillsbury, Greta Ellis, and Clydis Ross represented our class on the varsity first team fgirls'j, while Billy johnson, Ray Haskell, Gene Sawin, Duane Quimby, and Glen Campbell gave us a mayor representation on the boys' team. An all-sophomore team played many victorious games with other classes. Our class officers were elected as follows: President, janice Pillsbury, Vice-President, Raymond Haskell, Treasurer, Robert Lind- sey, Secretary, Therese Turmenne, and members of Student Council, jean Pillsbury and Gene Sawin. Two of our members, the Lindsey broth- ers, .left us in December, but will probably reloin us this spring. Class rings were purchased this year. As of today, March 20, the preceding facts are the main events in the scholastic lives of the Class of '4-8. JANICE PILLSBURY '48
