CLASS OF '52 On the morning of September 7, 1948, we, the members of the freshman class of Rangeley High School, came to school feeling big and proud. At last, we had graduated to the umainv ,room with its rows of trophies won by past R. H. S. stu- dents, in Whose hallowed and rickety seats we were now going to sit. The sopho- mores, however, soon made us realize that we were only freshman after all. With the second week of school came the annual freshman initiation which we had hoped they would somehow forget this year. The girls had to wear shirts -and dungarees wrong side out and backwards. The boys had to wear dresses and long silk stockings, revealing several Betty Grables who had been hidden in Wolf's clothing. We entered the freshman class with twenty-one members, six girls and fifteen boys. As the year rolled on, the number decreased to eighteen. Class oflicers are as follows: President- Betty Myshrall, Vice President--Joey Mc- Lafferty, Secretary-Louise Lamb, Trea- surer-David Porter. We raised sixty dol- lars through selling Christmas cards and collecting waste paper. When basketball season opened, we were well represented on the boys, team, but unfortunately only one girl went out for the team, that one being Louise Lamb. Freshman basketball boys were Philip Ha- ley, Richard Johnson, Clayton Philbrick, and Joey McLafferty. With exams only a few weeks off, we are all hoping and praying that we will be sitting in the sophomore section of the main room next year. I ' Joey McLafferty '52 Page Fifteen The TATTLER SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We began our sophomore year by elect- ing the following officers: President, Ri- chard Maclverg Vice President, John Mac- Pherson, Secretary, Mary Williams, Trea- surer, Jennie Holman. This year we had the pleasure of initiat- ing the lowly freshman. We believe that they felt a little low too, by the time that week was over. When basketball season began, our class was well represented by both boys and girls. Those participating were Jennie Holman and Jean Collins for girls and Ri- chard Maclver, John MacPherson, George Dunham, Russell Boutilier, and Roy West for boys. Our class entered the annual One-Act- Play Contest and presented a comedy, The Shock of His Lifef' The following were in the cast: Roy West, John Mac- Pherson, Paul Field, Kathleen Cray, Mary Williams, and Jennie Holman. We plan to give a dance in the very near future and, we hope it will be a success. Jennie Holman '51 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY So far this year we Juniors have made an average showing in everything we have undertaken. The whole class feels proud of Alan Philbrick and Richard Porter who were chosen as members of the All-Star Bas- ketball team. The other boys who played basketball were Elton Powers, Albert Bowker, and Harry Ellis. These boys all did very Well. In girls, basketball we were represented by Reta Seeley, Alice Spiller, and Pat Tib- betts. These girls were so proud of the letter they won that everyone had to be

The TATTLER very careful of pins and other sharp objects for quite awhile. Both the girls and boys did very well in the class games. The Seniors won first, the juniors, second. We hope these games will be continued as they are a source of laughs and loads of fun for everyone. We think our contributions to the Cheer- leading Squad, Joyce Beckwith and janet Dennison, were tops. They certainly perk- ed up the players and supplied atmosphere. For the One-Act Play Contest our class presented Where the Cross is Made by Eugene O'Neill. True to our standing, we came in second. Alan Philbrick as Nat,,, Reta Seeley as Sue , Richard Por- ter as Dr, Higginsf' and Elton Powers as Capt, Bartlettv all proved to be Bern- hardts and Oliviers inftheir performances. The ghosts, played by Stowell Eustis, Al- bert Bowker, and Edward Fowler, were very realistic. Alan Philbrick won Rangeley's equiva- lent of an Oscar,,. His performance was really tops. Also, we think Oscarsf, are due the boys who worked the wind ma- chine and surf box. That annual gala affair, The Iunior Prom, will be held on May 13. That the date is Friday will only help matters, we are sure. Here,s hoping for an even more success- ful year next year, when we shall have the exalted title of Senior, Pat Tibbetts '50 CLASS UF ,49 The senior class began its school year by holding a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers. These were elected to their respective offices as follows: Presi- dent, Warren Schildberg, Vice-President, Myron Herrick, Secretary, Betty Verrill, Treasurer, Henry Iungmann. When the basketball season opened, the senior class contributed many boys and girls. Natalie Steward, Betty Verrill, Vir- ginia Philbrick, Sylvia Hunt, Rita Porter, and Ianet Johnson represented our class on the girls, team, with Warren Schildberg, Leonard Ross, Arlen Wentzell, and Neal Edwards on the boys' team. n The senior class opened the dramatic season with a three-act play entitled, Leave To Marry. The cast consisted of Rita Por- ter, Betty Verrill, Sylvia Hunt, Patricia Iudkins, Warren Schildberg, and Myron Herrick. A one-act play entitled High Window was given on April 8. Those participa- ting were Rita Porter, Patricia Iudkins, Sylvia Hunt, Myron Herrick, and Warren Schildberg. This play was judged as the best of the four that were given at that time. The senior class has won this title for the past three years. We are planning to put on another play before graduation. The senior class of this year has eigh- teen graduating students, who have work- ed hard to reach this goal. We are all grateful that we have been able to acquire the opportunity of having a high school education. We wish to thank all our tea- chers who have made our four years of high school such pleasant ones. 1 This education has given us knowledge and confidence with which to face the future.
