SOPI-IOMORE CLASS HISTORY At their first class meeting the sophomores decided to have the same officers for their sec- ond year of high school as they had during their first. They are as follows: president, Joey McLaifertyg secretary, Louise Lambg treasurer, David Porter. According to an old custom of Rangeley High, the sophomores are given the opportunity to avenge themselves for the tortures inflicted upon them the previous year. They sponsor the initiation of the freshmen! Accordingly, the freshmen were forced to do all sorts of embar- rassing and ridiculous things during Freshman Week, which was climaxed with a social when every freshman was heartily welcomed with a warm reception. Page Fifteen The sophomores were well represented in sports this year with Clayton Philbrick and Joey McLaiferty both gaining positions on the var- sity basketball team. Richard Johnson, David Porter, and Ernest Steward represented the class on the junior varsity basketball team. Linwood Dennison, Richard Johnson, Ernest Steward, Joey McLafferey, Eddie Rich, and Clayton Phil- brick were the sophomores on the fall baseball team. Clayton was the only sophomore on the cross country team. The class will participate in the annual inter- class One-Act Play Contest in April when they will present the comedy, By Special Request?

S. by electing officers as follows: presi- dent, Richard Maclverg vice-president, John Macphersong secretary, Gerry Murphyg treas- urer, Kay Gray. We also voted to charge fifty cents per month for class Clues. Since we lost money on a dance last year, our class projects have been limited mostly to food sales, of which we have had three. We also gave a Christmas social this year, an occasion enjoyed by all. Since the first of the year we have been selling cards of all occasions in an effort to raise money. We are now planning the Junior Prom, which will be given on May 5. Our class has been well represented in sports on both the girls' and boys' squads. Our most satisfying victory came when the boys won the interclass basketball tournament by defeating the sophomores and seniors. After the basket- ball season was over, we competed with the other classes in the One-Act Play Contest, presenting the humorous fantasy, Cracked ilcef, We came out in second place, but had much valu- able experience and entertained the audience most highly. That just about sums up our activities for '49-'50, and next year we hope to be able to hold down the honored position of seniors. RICHARD MCIVER '51 Page Fourteen

The TATTLER F109 L- ,mnm mm? FRESI-IMAN CLASS HISTORY The freshmen started their high school -:areer with a bang-initiation! The upperclassmen did everything except bash our heads in with a hammer, and they would have done that if they had not feared the long arm of the law. We freshmen boys were made to dress in beautiful garments consisting of long underwear, dresses upside down, and girls' hats. We had to carry girls' dolls around with us, too. The girls had to wear bransacks and weren't allowed to comb their hair for three days. They presented quite a dishevelled appearance. We elected class officers as follows: president, Fred Carlton, vice-president, Luther I-Ioarg sec- retary, Betty Grant, treasurer, Dotty Morton. Our class advisor is Mr. Ward. One of the first of our endeavors this year was climbing Saddleback Mountain. We had quite a time, and if you don't believe that trip was strenuous, just ask Mr. Allen about his blisters. Next came the event of the year--the Fresh- man Cabaret. It proved to be such a success that we hope we have started something and that it will be an annual event in the future. We hired the town orchestra and had tables set up in the gym to make it look like a night club. Sally Rowe, Dottie Morton, and Fred Carlton made the posters. Robert Eustis, john Eustis, and Phil Polland printed the tickets. Miss Reeves had to use plenty of patience and perseverance when it came to rehearsing the music specialties, and Mr. Ward worked like a dog on the decorations. We freshmen have had a very prosperous and enjoyable year, and we hope to have three more just like it. GEORGE BRooKs '53 Page Sixteen
