SCHOOL NEWS Throughout the school year we have had many enjoyable as well as educational events. Through the careful planning and foresight of Mr. French, several new courses have been introduced into school. These have been Office Practice, Advertising, Retail Selling, and Shop. The Shop Class did a great deal of work tearing down the balcony at the Village Hall. They were also instrumental in putting up the new bleachers and tables. At present the members are repair- ing two old cars, at the same time learning automotive mechanics. Several science night classes, nature hikes, snowshoe hikes, and other activities for physical and mental education have been appreciated and enjoyed by the students throughout the year. These have been planned and made possible by the efforts of Mr. Stone. Through the initiative of Principal Seward French, a Radio in Education Workshop was organized during the winter months for teachers, under the sponsorship of the Harvard-Boston Uni- versity Extension Courses. This course provided an opportunity for first-hand participation in all phases of radio education programs. As the direct result of the Radio Workshop, Wells River High School purchased a microphone. By means of this microphone there has been an interesting parade of simulated radio produc- tions which benefited producers as well as audiences. The school movie projector has been a well used piece of equipment this year. Mr. Stone was principally responsible for the careful planning of a varied and educational program of films. The first social event of the year was the freshman party when the sophomores formally introduced the freshmen into Wells River High. There was a varied performance of stunts by the willing beginners. After the stunts there was a dance and refreshments were served. On March 11-12, the Wells River Valley Kiwanis Club pre- sented an invitational tournament at the high school gym. The basketball teams of Newbury, Groton. Mclndoes, and Wells

River participated. Although Mclndoes Academy won, we had a very good time and hope there can be another one next year. The basketball teams of W.R.H.S. were honored at a banquet sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, April 6, at Hales Tavern. At this banquet we were honored to have the Governor of the State of Vermont, Ernest W. Gibson, as principal speaker. The boys and girls deeply appreciated this banquet. The entire Hill Dale League was honored at St. Johnsbury. April 14. with a banquet presented by the combined Kiwanis Clubs of Wells River and St. Johnsbury. At this time the all- league teams were chosen and we were well represented on both teams. A turkey dinner on March -2!) was sponsored by the faculty and the student body. The splendid cooperation and generosity of our parents and friends helped to make our dinner a success. On May 14, a dramatic contest has been planned to take place at the school gym. There will be one-act plays presented by Newbury, Mclndoes, and Wells River. This contest will not only make better productions, but it will also strengthen relationships with our neighboring schools. Mr. French has announced that the University of Vermont is awarding honor scholarships to the boy and girl graduating with the highest scholastic averages. These honors will go to Hill Rowden and Lucille Judd at graduation on June 11. At the closing of this school year we look back on the enjoyable experiences we have had with our classmates and teachers. We wish to express our sincere thanks for everything they have made possible for us to have. Patricia Stearns '49 William Rowden ’48 I 7 |
