SENIORS BARBARA BECKLEY—Barbara is the tall girl on our basketball team. It was she the madly cheering fans saw come through so many times to intercept a pass intended for a sure shot at the basket (that’s why the girls won so many games this year). We’ll sure miss Barbara on the court next year, but we will also miss her ready smile and good-natured dis- position. Next January she hopes to take up nurses’ training at Ilanover. We know she’ll represent old W.R.H.S. well. 1»

ASSEMBLIES This year something new has been added to our curriculum. Each morning from 8:30 to 8:50 we have had assemblies, consisting of various interests. Assemblies were opened by the singing of a hymn by the student body. Then a passage from the Bible was read fol- lowed by the Lord’s prayer. After this we had a short pro- gram. Musical programs were very popular, and several hidden talents were discovered. The freshman class presented a series of pantomines on etiquette which were of value to all of us. Mr. French gave several interesting talks on Cape Cod. Through the kindness of Henry Powers we were able.to listen to several albums of music. The assemblies were organized by a committee appointed by the student council, and two people were in charge each week. Although our assemblies were in the experimental stage this year, I think they have been interesting and beneficial, and should be continued in future years. Jean Rowell ’47 STUDENT COUNCIL The Wells River High School Student Council was organ- ized in September of the school year. Two representatives were elected from each class. The student council held meetings regularly until Christmas vacation, but since then it has been inactive. A student council is a forward step for any high school, and I sincerely hope that next year our high school will have a more active one. Jean Rowell ’47 18

ELEANOR GUAY—Eleanor doesn’t play basketball, but for what she doesn’t do on the floor she more than makes up for by such things as helping in the office, yelling at basketball games (funny thing, too, she seems always to be accompanied by a fellow with blond curly hair!) or taking great dramatic roles in plays (!) Eleanor plans to work in an office for a while, and with your quiet, reserved manner we know you'll do well, Eleanor. SHIRLEY HILL—Who’s that little forward running up to center line and shrieking “Jeanie! Jeanie!” and clapping her hands? You’ve guessed it; it’s Shirley. She is another one of our good basketball players we lose this year. Shirley also lends a hand to Mr. French as one of his private secretaries, besides being the one to hold fourth honors this year. They tell me she has so many men she has to keep them in alphabe- tical order, but don’t let her kid you, she’s just trying to make the other girls jealous. Shirley thinks she too wants to become a nurse, and we know she will put the same old fight into that work as she put into the work here at Wells River. Good luck, Shirley. v20
