SOPHOMORE CLASS There are now 24 members in our class. We started the year with 27 but lost three during the months that followed. Early in the fall the class elected the following officers: President: Sharon Stone Vice President: Cora Dean Ward Secretary: Pat Simpson Treasurer: Roy Young Student Council: Bonnie Murray Several of our classmates played a major part in the success of our basketball teams this year. On the boys' squad, Malcolm Curtis, Harold Lenfest., Maurice Day, and Larry Clements, were valuable to the team. Carlton Smith joined the squad later in the year. Bonnie Murray and Sharon Stone were our representatives on the girls' team. These two girls also were part of the cheering squad. Other members of the class on this were Pat Simpson and Priscilla Rivers. We should like to thank Mr. Lapointe for helping us through our Sophomore year. We enjoyed having him as our homeroom teacher. CORA DEAN WARD '60

JUNIOR LITERATURE THE SADDLE HORSE We took the horse the other day, And hooked him to an open sleigh. He kicked, he bucked, he jumped around, He gave a leap and left the ground.. And we who went with hopes so high, Just left them there up in the sky. We learned too late, with some remorse, You cannot harness a saddle horse. DAWN TRIPP '59 DAYS OF OLD In days of old, When knights were bold, When wages were a penny, The rich were few As diamond dew, The poor, alas, were many. The land was under pagan rule, Where just the rich could go to school. The poor were forced to earn their keep, By plowing fields and herding sheep. RICHARD SEEKINS '59 A WINTER NIGHT Th air is cold, the night is still, And shining o'er the distant hill- The moon sends forth the shimmering rays Which frost the snow with golden glaze. The moon beams dance on crusted snow Like fairies running to and fro. They stretch across the bay beyond, And link two shores with a golden bond. The t.rees stand dark against the light, They thrust their arms far into the night, And cast their shadows on the hill. The air is cold, the night is still. JUDY CARD '59 People may forget how fast you did a job, but they won't forget how well you did it.. Minds that have no-thing to confer find little to perceive. When you talk you repeat only what you know, but if you listen you may learn some- thing. THE TREES The trees like lovely ladies grow, Some short, some tall, some in a row. Somehow they seem like friends grown old Their limbs like arms that me enfold. The tree with branches upward flung, How brave, how proud when day is done They stand beneath the setting sung Their whispering leaves all seem to say- 'Tm ready for another day.

SOPHOMORE LITERATURE TWINKLE TOES Twinkle Toes was a very pretty fairy, but no one liked her. It was because she had the worst disposition of all the fairies. . . It was near Christmas and all the fairies were buying presents. Everyone was laugh- ing and singing, but Twinkle Toes didn't see anything to laugh about, so she just sat around. Her best friend, Babe, asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She just looked mad and didn't tell her. She wasn't giving any- one anything and didn't expect anything herself. She did want something, but wanted no one to know. It was a comb to comb her long blonde hair. She had seen the one she wanted in the Bee Hive window. It was red with little firellies on it. It cost a lot of honey and she didn't have enough stored up. She almost wished she hadn't been so rude to Babe but she chased the thought away. It was t.he night of the big party. Santa came and all the fairies got gifts. Twinkle Toes knew she wasn't getting anything so she didn't bother to go. It was held in the old milk bottle, where all the events were held. They were preparing for the party. Fire- flies were taking their places on the ceiling as lights. The cricket string quartet was get- ting warmed up, and all looked pretty good. When the time came, everyone was squeez- ing into the old milk bottle. Twinkle Toes just sat by the door and listened. Someone came to get her. She had a gift. She acted as if she didn't want it, though she did. She opened it and found the comb she had seen in the Bee Hive. Everyone was wondering what she was going to say. She didn't know what to do! She ran to Babe and started to cry. She said how much she had missed by being a grouch. When they saw she was really sorry and had Christmas spirit., they made a circle and sang, For she's a jolly good Fairy. From then on, she joined in all the games. She was crowned Queen of the Fairies and soon became the most popular fairy in Fairyland. PAT SIMPSON '60 The Fir Tree, The Deer, and The Spruce Tree Many years ago, there was a young deer who lived in the deep, deep forest. The deer was a very lonely deer, and the only friend she had was a little fir tree. Every day after breakfast, she went to the little tree to lie down. She would tell the tree of the hunter ihe had watched and how frightened she had een. One day late in December, she went to the little tree, as usual, and what did she see but a little old man, chopping the tree down! She leaped under the bushes and watched as the fir tree was dragged through the snow out of the woods. The sorrowful little deer followed the man out of the woods at a discreet distance, be- ing careful not to step on any twigs that would betray her. After a time, the man came to a small house. He was greeted by a jolly white- haired old lady. As they went in and closed the door, the deer carefully walked to the house and peered through the window. She saw her friend being placed near the win- dow. Red, green, and blue objects were be- ing decked upon the tree. Fearing that she might be seen, she scam- pered back into the forest. As night came, she began to think of ways she could save her little friend. She decided that she would have to go to the house every day. So with this in her mind, she fell asleep. The next day, when she went to the house, she found many lights in t.he windows. As she looked in one of them, her friend, the fir tree, winked happily at her through her sparkling lights. The deer turned and leaped gleefully back home. The sound of beautiful music and chimes awoke the deer early the next morning. She leaped to her feet and raced to the house. There she saw children excitedly opening pretty packages. The fir tree blinked her sparkling lights at the little deer and she knew at once that the fir tree was happy to be a part of this festive occasion. The little deer felt happiness for the fir tree, but now loneliness crept into her heart for the loss of her good friend. She sadly went back to the forest, scarcely seeing ahead of her, for the tears were blinding her eyes. The branches of a tree brushed her neck and she quickly glanced to see what was touching her. There stood a young blue spruce spreading its branches sympathetical- ly towards the little deer. The deer queried, Why haven't I seen you before ? Because, the blue spruce replied, a beautiful, stately fir tree has over-shadowed me all my life. It was cut down for a Christ- mas tree yesterday. From that day on, the proud spruce tree and the little deer became good friends and never parted. MARGARET JEFFERY '60 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF- Pat or Margaret flunked a course? Harold couldn't argue? Bonnie and Sharon didn't sell candy? Hazel couldn't do English assignments? Malcolm couldn't play basketball? Stretch won an Academy Award? Mr. Lapointe couldn't drive a car? Maurice had a crew cut? Priscilla hated all boys?
