IN RETROSPECT The day we had all dreamed of had at last come. As Freshmen we crowded around the door of the main room to see which of us would be the first to obtain back seats. We had no more than got seated when our superiors, the nSeniorsW, strut- ted in and showed us to our permanent desks, the front seats. We didn't let this bother us for we were too thrilled to let anything disturb us Our Freshman class consisted of Theresa Beaudoln, a shy and conscientious glrl who not only studied but really had 'brains' Madelyn Brewer was the next in line She was called Mugs by the class and had a smile for everyone, but she also had a temper' Beverly Cheeseman, a tall and pleasant looking girl followed Bev tried to act dignlfied but her abillty to laugh always prevailed over her will power Winifred Cook represented the quiet and sedate portlon of the class, opposite to Una Cushman who wa carefree and al ways had a good laugh over even the corniest jokes Edward Fortin was like Winifred He had a very con taglous smile but always preferred to look on the serious side of life It took Bradford Mitchell and Romeo Rloux to make us all laugh They were both full of fun and laughter As the year wore on and our studies became more difficult, we learned to appreciate the laughs supplled by Romeo and Brad Pauline Loper again entered our class after having lived out of town for awhile We were all glad to see her back Muriel Scott, a very studious small girl,added a high spot to our class with her willingness to cooperate Elmo Sarrazin with his brainy remarks and dislike for school always kept us walting for the final showdown when one of the teachers would get asslgnment Robert Waterman youngest Even though we of the difference in age angry and Elmo would get an extra was the class baby as he was the liked to feel superlor to him because he was the most intelligent ln the class and had success as his partner from the beginning Whenever one saw a bicycle he was sure to see Hollis Winslow, Holly, and Phillip Wright, Dngo, and school didn't seem to agree with them a thelr lnttresta ran to automoblles and bicycles After the first quart r of tht v ar, Bernard Sturte vant jolned our class, having prev1ously gone to Lewiston High School Our nlckname for Bernard was hard to decide until we finally chose NBarnyardW As the months wore on, our future in S H S looked promising At this time we were not aware of the lnltiation whlch the junior class was planning for us After lt was over, we wondered how we had ever endured such a trial The glrls wor large green bows ln their hair and the boys wort green neckties Our clothing was put on us any way but the correct way, and we became exhausted following the orders of the upper classmen We were now official members of Sabattus High School.
