THE CLASS WILL PLEASE COME TO ORDER During our first days as Seniors, it was decided in a class meeting that everyone would work together for the good of the class and that trip which everyone was looking forward to In early October, a Masquerade Ball was planned. Nor Easters' Orchestra was con- tracted: and on with the dance. The day arriving, the Seniors started to work on the gym. A few orange and black streamers with skeletons, black cats, and witches proved to be the perfect solution for our problem of decorating. It certainly made it spookyg but did it scare the people? No. But some of the people almost scared us. Everyone was required to wear a mask: and what costumes! Tickets were sold on a snowball cake while our fortune teller fMrs. Myrtle Wattsj told fortunes in her black tent. To make everything more compact, the stage was put at one end of the gym and re- freshments were sold at the other. This dance was a success financially and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. To add to our checking account, we sponsored Jimmie Pierson's Radio Troupe in November. We've sold candy and soda every dayg hot dogs to the school every Thursday and at the Ufarmers' meetings in the evening, besides at a few basketball games. The Wiscasset game netted us S33.55. Order, please. What's that? Dorothy Ripley, chairman of the Christmas dance? Oh! yes, I almost forgot about our annual Semi-Formal. The dance was given to us this year, and we did our best to make everyone have a grand time . Because school closed early, we did our decorating during vacation. As always be- fore, the gym lights came from the five Christmas trees. Red and green streamers with icicles formed a canopy over the gym: Merry Christmas was written across one wall with a wreath between the two words. Red and silver bells hung from some of the streamers. Tickets were sold on a silver serving dish and the table held two blue candles which reflected on the dish and added more colof to the festive atmosphere. 16

Norman Moody's Orchestra furnished the music and, although financially we didn't come out so well, everyone seemed to have a happy holiday. It was a grand sight to see one of the home-town boys take home the silver dish. Again in March, we sponsored Jimmie and Dick. In the future class meetings, we'll probably think of more money-making ideas , but for now that's the latest inside information. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the students, faculty, townspeople, and anyone else who has helped us in our four years at Union High. The Senior Class - FRESHMAN RECEPTION Freshman Reception was held on September 23. Union High was a scene of fun and laughter. Gordon Grinnell was the Master of Ceremonies with Mr. Gibson as faculty ad- visor. Other Sophomores helped in providing the entertainment. The Grand Entrance was a clanking of wagons drawn by the Freshmen. Sandra Richards' act was the first feature of the evening. She paraded. around the gym pulling a train and making a noise like a train whistle-. Beth Young and Robert Newbert provided the love scene and what do you know--Bob succeeded! Grade Calderwood gave an exhibition of her love for dancing. juanita Upham sang Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain while a Sophomore sprinkled water on her from a step-ladder. The milk bottle broke when Charlene King tried to sit on it and write the word fish , Sandra Morine and Gary Newbert had an argument over a hat that Mrs. Thrift fSandraj wanted to buy. Joan Knight and Lloyd Esancy were engaged in hunting for wafers in a pan of flour and water. Richard Norwood gave his opinion of the Freshmen by kneeling to the prettiest, bowing to the wittiest, and kissing the one he loved best. Robert Newbert ended up in a tub of water when he put his weight on a baseball and tried to run around it. Winona Miller and Adelman Norton engaged in a spagetti race. Royce Butler told why he didn't like the Sophomores. Frank Austin chose the girl he would like to date and told why. Katherine Carver and Alden Taylor prepared for a date. This included Kay shaving. Lloyd Esancy gave imitations of different animals. Keith Burns and Alice Luce were wed in solemn matrimony and then driven away in his cart. Richard Norwood and Gordon Mills had a race with their feet tied together. The evening ended with the Freshmen singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart . 17
