UNIOR GLASS HISTOR Y :hhh - On the first day of school in 1951 thirty-three Freshmen marched into the High Room of the little Red School House, and deposited their possessions in the three rows of sorts on the South side. All of them were green; the country and town students hardly knew one another; but the town students did have the advantage of knowing how to get to the classrooms. The first business of any importance was the election of officers. We were placed under the guardianship of Mr. Martinson, and elected the following officers: President—Bert Shedd Vice-President—Ned Martinson Secretary—Martha Yost Treasurer—Irma Shumway The main party of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore parjfy, given to us by those who now call themselves Worthy and Dignified Seniors. The party was given at Hallowe'en tine so naturally the Gymnasium was decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks, and everything else pertaining to Hallowe'en The initiation took place in a darkened area where we walked on marbles, fell off benches, stepped in water, kissed a dish of flour, etc. However, everyone survivdd ishis, and later in the evening bobbed ®or apples, learned their fates, ate friedcakes, and drrnlc cider. What fun I During our Freshman year, we planned p skating p-rty which was to be held at Hodunk. But, woe to us, the night of the party we found that mistakes had been made in the planning, and that we could not use the Hodunk Hall that night. Did that discourage us? Well, I should say not. Instead, we packed ourselves into the cars, went to a Marshall skating rink, and had a better time than we would have had at Hodunk. The other party of the year was held at Yoenrn Hell. It wasntt as much of a success as the other two parties, but those who were there had lots to eat, anyway. Two other parties of that year to which each member was especially invited was a farewell party for Ruth Coldren afi Eleanor Hoag's, and a picnic at Bessie Vincent's on Vincent Lake. When school began in 1952, only 29 Sophomores appeared. They nay have had good re- sons for not coming back, but anyway they have missed a lot of fun. Again under the supervision of Mr. Martinson we elected the following Sophomore class officers: President—Ned Martinson Secretary—Rex Rainey Vice-President—Gerald Baker Treasurer—Forest Branch
