ROBERT L. ALLCOTT l 4255 053222 y On September Sth in 1939 after a rollicking week on the merry'go-round at the Rutland Fair, we met happily about the side doors of our new home. The Seniors met us -ioyfully. We soon found out their toothy smiles were meaningless and that we were merely being saved for a period of hazing. Strangely enough, after the week was over, there were still theoretically one hundred and seventy freshmen, which meant that none of our classmates had been drowned or clubbed. However, many of our sturdy men had colds in their little heads. The Freshman Reception was our first big dance. Some Seniors said that we did an overjustice to the cider and doughnuts, but being young and active it was quite natural. All in all, it was a hne welcome to the school. We entered wholeheartedly into the clubs and sports. Many boys were out for football and later the Frosh basketball team ran up an outstanding record while the girls went in for field hockey and basketball. Eventually the elections were held and Bernard Kazon won the presi' dency and Edna Beauchamp the vice-presidency. It was a great relief, with exams safely out of the way, to sit in class and daydream about the summer to come. The summer came and went and we were back together again, much older and wiser, in the Sophomore year. The Freshmen were a scream. As Sophs we struggled with new studies and managed to he represented in all school activities. Edna Beauchamp was elected our president, Dick Fuller vicefpresident, Ken Rabidou treasurer, and Agnes Fox secretary. The Sophomore year led to one discovery after another. Being free of the Freshman complex, we set out to develop our talents. Several promising actors and actresses made their appearance, while the Red and White accepted some hopeful young journalists. Another year slid by with the unity of the class growing stronger and the friendships becoming deeper and more important. For the third time we returned to the big red brick school more conscious of our relationship to the not too far off outside world. We elected Edna Beauchamp class president, joe jones vice'presidentg john Hoag treasurer, and Jerry Porter secretary. The positions in the National Honor Society were bestowed upon Sally Marsden, Edna Beauchamp, janet Perkins, Mary Lee and Bernard Kazon. The question of class rings arose and for several weeks opinions were generously voiced, but we finally selected a ring that refused to turn black.
