THE NORTH LAND 9 Snphoxnure flllass When we entered school last year as Freshman we stumbled, our way about feeling very green indeed, but as the year wore on, we seemed to lose a little of our awkardness. This year, as lcrdly Scphomores of Washburn High, we are right at home and are trying to make the present Freshman feel as We felt during our first year. At the first opportunity, after schcol opened in October, a class meeting was held with Miss Penney, the class advis- or, to elect class officers f-or the ensuing school year. The ifollowing officers were elected: President, Kathleen Lancaster: Vice-President, Edmund Knox: Secre- tary, Kenneth Duncan: Treasurer, Edith Dahlgren. The first social event of the year in which the Sophomores took part was the Freshman Reception. The Freshman were certainly initiated in fine style, their greeness being duly emphasized in every possible way: however, a delight- 'ful time was reported by all participat- mg. The Scphomores have made an aver- age record on the Honor Roll and have been well represented in the activities of the school as follows: Glee Clu-bg Mar- jorie Brown, Marie Drake, Marjorie Dun- can, Edith Dahlgren, Lois Harris, Kath- leen Lancaster, Louisa VVhitten, and Phyllis Woodman.

8 THE NORTHLAND ll arg:-e::. glfreshman Qllass Fates iliiiivi The Freshman Class of Washburn High School opened its school year with an enrollment of thirty members. During the fall term the members of the class met with our class advisor, Mr. Cunning- ham, and chose the following officers: President, Evelyn Cunningham: Vice- President, Barbara Blackstone, Secre- tary, Pauline Berce, Treasurer, Betty Lancaster. Our first social event was the annual Freshman initiation, given to us by the Sophomores. This was held in the form of a reception. All were good sports in bearing the trials awaiting them even though many of them would have em- barrassed the most nonchalant Senior present. The Freshmen sponsored one social during the year. Dancing and games were enjoyed throughout the evening. The Freshmen have been well repres- ented in the activities of the school this year as follows: Glee Club: Barbara Blackstone, Ma- bel Lavine, Helen Durost, Marion Mun- son, Betty Lancaster, Pauline Berce, Lillian Myshrall, A r d i n e McDonald, Gladys Kinne, Evelyn Cunningham. Art Club: Ernestine Cary, Mabel Rouse, Louise Maskall, Lottie Carman. Future Farmers: Merrill Bull, Lewel- lyn Woodman, Leonard Cashman, Fred- erick Mslntyre, Keith Stoddard, Atwood Sperry. Student Government: Lewellyn Wood- man, Evelyn Cunningham. Boys' Basketball: Lewellyn Wood-man, Keith Stoddard, Atwood Sperry. The Freshmen have also made a very good record on the honor roll and hope to make a better one next year as Sopho- mores. We feel we have been fairly success- ful as Freshmen and are eagerly looking forward to the beginning of our year as Sophomores. Evelyn Cunningham '39

The annual Junior Exhibition was cne of the most successful school functions of the year. A large crowd attended and we were able to put away a modest sum in the class treasury. Mary 'Carver was awarded first prize: Lois Staples, sec- ond: and Lowell Sherwood received hon- oralble mention. The Junior Prom was held May 12 at the Lyric. Music was furnished by Bil- ly Seaborne's orchestra from Presque Isle. The credit for a most successful and delightful evening goes to Miss Mary Carver, chairman of the Prom commit- tee, under whose direction the event was turned into a gala affair. The County Speaking Contest was held at Caribou, May 15. Representatives from the Junior class were Mary Carver and Lowell Sherwood. On the whole the Junior Class has put in an active year, under the leadership of Miss McCormack, class advisor. We are looking forward to next Year, when as dignified Seniors, we- may put it over on the underclassmen. Lowell Sherwood '37
