It is much more so here to the individual than it is in some large insti- tutions. In a large school, it is possible for a person to go through his four years and very rarely be asked to go out of his way to do something for the school. That is not true here. Unless a person shows himself to be entirely antagonistic, he is frequently asked to give a part of his time in support of some school project. The explanation for this is simple. Even though we have a fairly small enrollment, we maintain a rather large list of activities. Most of these activities are necessary in a school regardless of its size. The rest of the activities could per- haps be dispensed with, but there is no need to if the students will get together and work as a group. Since there is so much to be done, it is obvious that all the students must share the voluntary burden. I am not certain that outsiders realize the number of activities WRHS has to offer its students. In the field of sports, the boys attempt to make a showing in basketball, baseball, and soccer. The girls play basketball and softball. For those who are not sports-minded, we have a number of One-Act Plays, a Prize Speaking and Spelling Contest and the Senior Play. There is also the problem of editing The Party Line, our school newspaper printed bi-monthly, and The Chatterbox which is this incomparable tome. Add to these, the Glee Club, suppers, food sales, the magazine drive, the fashion show, the Junior Prom and other numerous dances, and all the labors of graduation. Now that you have a general idea of the duties which must be performed, take a glance at our enrollment. Our high school is com- posed of 19 boys and 27 girls, a total of 46 students. The junior high gives a huge majority to the girls in the proportion of 15 to 4. Next, consider our faculty of five with the assistance of Mrs. Rowe of Wells River and Mr. Morey and Mr. Farrar of Newbury. It should be fairly obvious that cooperation is necessary if our activities are to be carried on. Some people are approached more than others because they possess some special talent such as typing or artistic ability. Still, there are numerous jobs which can be done by non-specialists. This might be a good place to mention that everyone is encouraged to participate in our sports program, providing his marks are passing. — Five — Since WRHS carries such a bulky schedule, it is desirable that everyone helps a little bit. However, this has not always happened. Too often cliques are formed in which the uncooperative band together. There are many reasons why the students in these groups refuse to participate in the school program. Some of these are valid and some are mere figments of the imagination. One reason is almost always accepted. That is low marks. The simple cure for this inability is study. Part of the student body feel they do not have time. I sympa- thize with this but urge that they try to make time. Undoubtedly, there are a few who feel that they are not wanted. Such introverts should get over that complex sometime. There is no better place to start than in high school. If any person is genuinely interested in some activity, his efforts will not be the subject of scorn, but will be appreciated. Wells River High School has been able, through the labors of at least part of the student body and faculty, to accomplish a great deal in the past few years, but a lot more could have been done if more students had given their support. There is much to be done in the future. It can be done much quicker and with a lot more enjoyment if the future graduates of WRHS will realize the necessity of coopera- tion. One of the most important lessons which the teenager in a democracy must be aware of before he or she becomes a man or woman is that of getting along with his fellowman. PHILIP R. CURRIER, Editor-in-Chief -------WRHS---------- SCHOOL NEWS The publishing of the Party Line” was continued this year. This time, subscriptions were sold in order to raise money for the supplies needed in printing it. Many thanks should go to the Editor-in-Chief, Deli Bailey, also the remainder of the staff, for the splendid work they have done throughout the year. We hope that in the tuture the paper will become bigger and better.” The Freshman Initiation was held October 11, 1951 at the school gym. Our freshmen appeared in numerous costumes. The sophomoies planned a program for the freshmen to do which was interesting for the onlookers and exciting to the freshmen. Volleyball was continued this year. Although there were very few participants, there was great sport involved. Soccer was again tried out but due to so very few participants, we were easily defeated. — Six — The seniors, November 2, bloomed forth with an unforgetable play, The Hobgoblin House.” A Public Speaking Contest was presented November 9. It was followed by a spelling contest. Idamae Chamberlain was the final winner for speaking and Richard Sherwin for spelling. The following week, the two winners went to St. Johnsbury to display their abilities. We are very proud to state that Richard Sherwin, a sophomore of W. R. H. S., did us great honor in outspelling other members of the Hill- dale League. Two of our senior boys, Kenneth Fiske and Samuel Hutchins, who attended agriculture classes, at Newbury, were very fortunate in being chosen to go to Boston on an Aggie field trip. They, along with other boys from Newbury, had a remarkable and educational trip. After several years of struggling through very boring chemistry classes, unable to experiment because of the lack of supplies, the chem- istry class of 1951-52 were very fortunate in having the opportunity of breaking in the extensive line of new supplies. The laboratory work has been very interesting and written work is much easier to con- centrate on and understand by having experiments to clarify our minds. A few slight accidents happened during the year; however, several lessons have been learned throughout the class. Hot lunches were served again this last winter. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zwicker was unable to be with us to cook those delicious dishes. However, we did have two other reliable and good cooks, Mrs. Cam- eron and Mrs. Mansfield. WRHS boys' basketball team was honored at the beginning of the season by having pictures taken by the Caledonian Record which later appeared in that paper. Again, the Seniors have patronized The W. Kay Vantine Studio letting them take the graduation pictures. Under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Wilson, the home economics classes have presented two very successful exhibitions during the school year; the first one, last fall, with a fall fashion show in the evening; another, this spring, consisting of an afternoon tea, exhibition of clothes made during the year followed by a very interesting and fash- ionable style show. A new program was encouraged between Wells River and New- bury. It was planned to have combined dances and fun nights, pre- sented alternately at the two schools. They were tried and were quite successful but were interrupted by basketball. The schedule this spring seemed to be too complete to continue the program. A Christmas party was conducted by the junior and senior high — Seven — schools. Committees were appointed for decoration, entertainment, and refreshments. A very attractive tree was set up in study hall, where gifts were passed out. There was dancing in the junior high room. Refreshments were served in the senior room. During the spring, a Roman Banquet was given by Mrs. Spear and her two Latin classes of Wells River and Newbury. It was held at Mrs. Spear’s house. Many people were present and enjoyed the deli- cious menu and interesting entertainment. We are proud to announce that Philip Roy Currier was chosen, by the Rotary Club, as a delegate to the Model U. N. Assembly held at Plymouth Teacher’s College, on May 1, 2, 3, 1952. ----WRHS--- HILLDALE LEAGUE NEWS The Hilldale League started off its fifth year with a Public Speak- ing Contest and Spelling Bee held in St. Johnsbury Trade School on November 16. Each school in the league sent a speaker and a speller. Robert Shields of Peacham won the Public Speaking Contest and Rich- ard Sherwin of Wells River was the best speller. The Hilldale League basketball season began with the annual Jamborees. The boys’ and girls’ teams of Mclndoes, Newbury, Con- cord and Wells River played in the Monroe Town Hall. Danville, Peacham, St. Johnsbury Trade, and Groton competed at Peacham. On February 14, the League Dance was held at Concord. The gym was gaily decorated and all the teams were present. At intermission the trophies were awarded to the League Basketball Champions; the Mclndoes girls and the Danville boys. On March 28, the Music Festival was held at Peacham with six of the league schools participating. The Festival opened with a pro- gram by the orchestra. The Glee Clubs from the different schools sang their own songs followed by songs from the combined chorus of 180 students. The students and audience ended the program by singing, 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The opening night of the Hilldale League Play Festival was held at the Wells River Gym on April 3 with Newbury, Peacham, and Wells River participating. The next night Wells River, Groton and Peacham presented their plays at Groton. After the plays the critic met with the casts and talked over the plays. — Eight — The Hilldale League Field- Day was held at Newbury on May 29. The main feature was a ball game between Peacham, Danville, St. Johnsbury Trade, and Concord, representing the northern division, and Mclndoes, Newbury, Groton and Wells River, representing the south- ern division. The Hilldale League has done a fine job throughout the school year and we know it will be more successful in the future. SAM HUTCHINS -----WRHS------- HOBGOBLIN HOUSE Hobgoblin House” was presented by Wells River High School Seniors at the Village Hall on Friday evening, November 2, 1952. The cast was composed of the following students: Darius Krupp Miss Priscilla Carter Marion Carter Jill Carter Frank Harlow Jack Loring Susan Parkins Henery Goober Delilah Worts Bluebeard Bronson Bill Wilkins The Headless Phantom Geraldean Brock This play will probably be remembered for a long time because of the hanging head, the headless phantom, and the crazy lunatic. Of course the acting of the two negroes and the H'english ouse-keeper ' added to the amusement of the play; also the torrid love scenes. This three act play took much time and work but the cast enjoyed putting it on almost as much as the audience enjoyed seeing it. We, the cast, wish at this time to express our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Spear, whose patience and understanding was a great help to us. STANLEY BOYCE — Nine — PLAY CONTEST As the one-act play contest was approved and enjoyed by all, last year, it was decided to continue this plan. Three one-act plays were presented to the Wells River audience, March 27, at the Wells River Village Hall. Competition raged good naturedly among the players of the three plays. The junior high showed their abilities as actors and actresses in their play Feudin’ Mountain Boys.” In spite of the illness of some of the leading characters, the play went beautifully under the able direction of Mrs. Wilson. The Sophomores, nothing loath to see anyone but they succeed, made a creditable attempt to glory. Their play was Swept Clean Off Her Feet.” They were directed by Mr. Cornthwaite. The Junior and Senior play was The Importance of Being Earnest.” Being the seasoned actors and actresses of some three years standing, they walked away with the contest and much glory for having attempted a Classic. They were coached by their fav- orite director, Mrs. Spear. Due to sickness in the class the Freshman play was postponed to a later date. Their coach was Mrs. Cornthwaite. Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Garvin and Mrs. Rowe were judges for this contest. The Junior and Senior play was presented at the League Festival in Groton on April 4. The audience were attentive and appreciative. Mrs. White, the critique from Newbury, bestowed praise on three of the players because their performances were outstanding. IDAMAE CHAMBERLAIN ----WRHS--- THE MUSIC PROGRAM Again this year we have been very fortunate in having Mrs. Rowe as our music director. She gave two periods a week to directing the Glee Club. Harriett Pudvah and Donna Cusano helped with the accompanying. The Glee Club sang at the Public Speaking Contest and they also participated in the League Music Festival at Peacham. There they sang two songs alone and three with the combined chorus. The Glee Club will take part in the Graduation Exercises. Several students are members of McLure's Band. At the Music- Festival some Wells River students played instruments in the League Orchestra. Deli Bailey, John Demeritt, Dave Bidwell and Jane Rowden — Ten — attended the Vermont Music Festival in May as members of the All- State Chorus. This was held at Burlington. McLure’s Band also participated in this Music Festival. The Glee Club expressed their thanks to Mrs. Rowe for her time and efforts. JANE ROWDEN, ’52 ----WRHS--- SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL The School Safety Patrol was continued this year with the respon- sibility resting in the Junior High School. Donna Cusano was elected captain and Dave Riggie was appointed Lieutenant. A field day was held this year May 24, at Lyndonville. All the patrolmen cooperated and luckily we suffered no accidents. We hope future patrols will be as successful as we were. DONNA CUSANO, Captain III even J2itz EXCCl y THE BIG NINE The room is not very spacious The desks are not very tall But the seniors are all very gracious And are loved by one and all. The first to arrive in the morning And the last to leave at three Is usually Samuel Hutchins He brings with him his f abulous glee. The remainder of the Big Nine” arrive As the bell strikes out so sublime. Though some barely look alive We know they’ll pull through sometime. The month of the Big Nine” departure Is drawing nearer without any rue. But we’re curious to find out the rapture Of WRHS without the class of ’52. ELAINE GUAY --WRHS---- VERMONT Vermont is a wonderful place, With its babbling mountain streams, And all of its ponds to swim in. It’s an answer to one’s dreams. It has many beautiful lakes, With hills and valleys galore. And with its towering church steeples, Who could ask for more? — Twelve — And travel far and wide, But always will I return To Vermont, my home and pride. KENNETH FISKE, ’52 —WRHS---- THE LESSON OF LOVE The bird in flight had oft before Noted the fields of green; With awed expression on his face Had Nature’s wonders seen. He'd dipped and whirled in dear blue sky, And breathed the dean fresh air, And drunk and bathed in quiet pools Close by the basses lair. Then came the day another bird, (So beautiful was she), Ensnared his heart and took away His love of being free. The heartless wench who stole his heart Gave not hers in return, But went away as she had come, Her mind free of concern. So now he flies with blinded eyes, Beauty no more to see, A heartbroken bird who had to learn How faithless love can be. PHILIP CURRIER. ’52 ---WRHS----- CHEM LAB Sing a song of nitride A beaker full of gas. Four and twenty test tubes — Thirteen — Bust with one big smash. When the smoke has settled We're all lying in a heap What an awful mess To have in Chem Lab once a week. JANE ROWDEN, ’52 ----WRHS--- BASKETBALL SEASON The basketball season has finally come, The boys must abolish all cigarettes and rum. Early to bed and early to rise. With lots of good food and much exercise. Of course every subject they take must be passed To stay on the squad and be players at last. Basketball is good but studies, a must So go to it boys. Be all stars, or bust. DELI BAILEY, '53 -----WRHS---- POETIC JUSTICE I’m telling you Ed, it isn't right. This is a respectable nite club. We don’t want any crooked gambling here.’’ Ed continued working on the table as he replied, Don’t be foolish. Why, lots of clubs in the town have wired roulette wheels. It’s nothing new. The suckers seem to expect it. They usually lose anyway and this way we just take a little more and insure ourselves against any loss.” ' I don’t care. Until I took you into partnership with me, this was always a nice clean nite club where a man could relax with his family. Somehow I let you talk me into putting in a side room witn all these slot machines, dice games, and roulette wheels. That was bad enough but now you want to make the tables crooked. That’s going too far.” — Fourteen — Ed spoke now as he would to a little child who was teasing for a cowboy suit. Look Tom, I thought your wife and I had convinced you that I could run the wing with the gambling. All you need to worry about is the dressy side. Now go away and don’t bother me. This is tricky work.” As he spoke, Ed rose and stripped off his heavy gloves he had been wearing. He stood facing Tom now with a look of patience on his face. 1 om spoke in quick, cutting words. When I agreed to that, it all looked simple and innocent. Now it has become complex and crooked. I can see why you wanted me to let you run this part but I can’t see why my wife agreed with you. In fact, I don t see why she is always siding with you. There must be something between you two.” Maybe there is. There's no reason why a woman married to a man twice her age shouldn’t look elsewhere for entertainment.” Tom spoke between tight lips as he replied, Tve been wondering if there wasn t something like that going on. Well, it won’t work You haven t got a cent, Ed, and if I wasn’t here to help, the nite club could easily go under. If you think I'll let you run away with Ruth and take my money with you, you’re crazy. Just as further insurance I think I had better change my will. I hardly think Ruth deserves my money.” 1 With these words Tom turned to leave. As he had listened, Ed's face had contorted into a picture of rage out of control. He grabbed a wrench from the floor and sprung after Tom. With an ugly snarl he lifted the wrench and brought it down on his partner's head. He kept smashing it until Tom slumped to the floor, his face now totally void of any shape at all. With a hysterical laugh Ed let the wrench slip from his splattered hand. You’re going to change everything, huh? Well, let’s see you ruin my plans now. I’ll throw you in the river and you’ll be another statistic in the missing persons bureau. Then I can con” Ruth out ot your money and go to South America for the rest of my life.” Ed tottered weakly and reached back to the table for support. He didn’t see that his hand was headed for the bare wire that he had been so carefully attaching to the wheel. A scream parted Ed’s lips in the last mortal sound he ever made. PHILIP CURRIER.

There were nine members: Thelma Bijolle, Idamae Cham- berla.n, Priscilla Drown, Elaine Guay, Virginia Hitchcock, Samuel Hutchins, Paul Kaiser, Jane Rowden and Norman Driscoll. Arter three long years Miss Darling finally passed us on to Mrs. Stanley. When we entered the fourth grade, Jean Emery and Stanley Boyce joined us but we lost Norman Driscoll, Priscilla Drown and Thelma Bijolle. In the sixth grade Priscilla Mays, Luther Crowe, Carleton Boyce and Kenneth Lee joined us. After six long years of reading and writing we were at last admitted to the Junior High. This year Eva Hall and Raymond Bowley joined us but we lost Virginia Hitchcock, Jean Emery, Luther Crowe and Carleton Boyce. In 1948 we were at last Freshmen. There were now eleven in our class. Kenneth Fiske, Stephen Bailey, Linnie Welch and Marie Mitchell came down from South Ryegate. Idamae Chamberlain, Elaine Guay, Jane Rowden, Paul Kaiser, Samuel Hutchins and Stanley Boyce were still here. We were very successfully initiated by the Sophomores. WDEVar Wr°te a radi° Pky Which We Presented over Station The next fall Linnie Welch and Marie Mitchell left us to go to Groton High School. We now numbered only nine. With the ex- ception of the Freshmen Initiation this was a very uneventful year for us. In the fall of our Junior year Philip Currier returned from Ply. mouth, N H. We were honored to have him a member of our class Priscilla Mays left us at the end of the year. Our class won the Scholar- ship Award this year. Jane Rowden went to Girls’ State and Kenneth Fiske went to Boys’ State. We sold candy and sponsored a hot dish supper to pay tor the Junior Prom. After twelve long, hard years we are ready to graduate. There are nine members in cur graduation class: Idamae Chamberlain, Elaine Guay Jane Rowden, Stephen Bailey, Kenneth Fiske, Stanley Boyce Paul Kaiser, Samuel Hutchins, and Philip Currier. Of these Idamae,’ Elaine, Jane, Paul and Sam have been together all twelve years We struggled through the senior play and the one-act play. We have com- pleted the Chatterbox” and also sponsored a few school dances With the money we have made, we plan to take a class trip to New York City. r Now we are about to leave WRHS. We know that we are not the best class ever to graduate from WRHS but we hope we have set a good example for classes of years to come. PAUL KAISER — Twenty-five — CLASS PROPHECY Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of the radio audience. This is Phil Currier bringing you late news of the day. Tonight I have sev- eral terrific scoops tor you. But first for the news the whole nation will be talking about tomorrow. On this day of our Lord June 23, 1972 for the first time in the history of the U. S. a woman has been nominated for the office of President. Today at the Republican con- vention, held in New York City, Miss Jane Rowden walked away with the show. Delegates, numbering 800, cast their votes for Miss Rowden. The only state which did not cast a vote for Miss Rowden was, strangely enough, her native Vermont. T he Democrats say that Vermont, which has always proved itself to be Republican, knows Jane too well to vote for her. The Senate Investigating Committee has come up with a doozy in their study of crime in the city of Wells River, Vermont. Wells River, which has suffered a terrific mushrooming in the last fifteen years due to the discovery of radium in the surrounding areas, has attracted all kinds of criminals since its recent growth. Their latest problem is Mr. Paul Kaiser who owns a chain of fifteen restaurants throughout the state. Mr. Kaiser on his income tax return for 1971 stated a net income of $936.33. Research has shown that last year Paul built six restaur- ants, bought three Cadillacs and a summer home in Florida, invested $23,000 in bonds, and showed a net savings in twelve different banks, of $73,300. Tax collecting was never like this. Last night Sam Hutchins, who is at present singing at the Cafe Turbulence, allegedly assaulted his boss, Mr. Stephen Bailey. The fight started when Steve made a few side remarks to nite club darling Elaine Guay concerning Sam’s latest recording, Sob.” Elaine, who is currently engaged to Sam, immediately told her fiancee what his boss had said. Sam then told Steve a few things. One remark led to an- other and finally Sam is said to have struck Steve. A rip roaring fight ensued. Elaine, who is currently starring in MGM’s new thriller Two Tickets to a Sand Bank,” had to bail Sam out of jail. She left Steve in for his lawyers to take care of. Song writer Stanley Boyce is suing Miss Idamae Chamberlain for including him in her recent best seller Queer Friends I Have Known.” Stanley says that statements made by Miss Chamberlain are damaging to a person of his standing. Miss Chamberlain counters that the book merely tells of a few eccentric habits that Mr. Boyce has. Personally 1 don’t see why Stan minds. After all, I'm in that book too. A few days ago American League Umpire Floyd Bossy” Mc- Phetres booted Cleveland Indian Manager Chud Fiske out of a baseball park and Chud immediately appealed to the Honorable Schuyler Cornth waite, president of the League, to eliminate Mr. McPhetres. Today Mr. — Twenty-six — Cornthwaite passed down his decision. He said, quote, Ump Mc- Phetres was entirely right in evicting Fiske after Ken called him a halfwit Mr. Cornthwaite went on to say that Ken never acted like that in high school. And that Ladies and Gentlemen is the news in brief. We invite you to stay tuned for the next hour and listen to Mrs. Charles Gibson who will give a talk on the evils of chewing gum. This is Phil Currier signing off for now. Good night. ---WRHS----- WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1952 We, the class of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two of Wells River High School in the Village of Wells River, in the town of New- bury, in the county of Orange and the sovereign Republic of Vermont being of sound body and having complete control of our senses and im- pulses do hereby revoke all former wills made by us and declare that this, our last will, is according to our own wishes and affections. We will Mr. Cornthwaite an album of Johnny Ray records Now you may appreciate really fine music. We will Mrs. Gibson a package of gum. Next year you won t have to take up a collection in your English classes. We will Mrs. Spear our magnificent dramatic ability. You mav lend it to anyone in any of the plays that you direct. We will Mr. McPhetres an alarm clock. Perhaps if you use it you can get to school on time. We will Mr. Morey four excellent typists to take the place of the tour geniuses you are losing this year. We will Mrs. Wilson a hot rod. Now you can race rather than walk between the hall and the high school. We will the Junior Class our pretty blonde desks. Please love and cherish them as we have. We will the Sopohomore Class our ability to earn money. Now you won t have to worry about paying for your Junior Prom. — Twenty-seven — We will the Freshman Class our quietness and complacency. Per- haps the desks won't have such a rough time next year. We will the Junior High some handsome boys like those in our class. Will that solve your man-problem, girls? I, Elaine Guay, do will Trilly Boyce the permission to drive and make use of my father’s car while I’m away at college next year. After all, Trilly think of Poor Father; he’d faint to see the Chevie” in the garage two nights in succession. I, Philip Currier, do will my serious nature to all future graduates. If you act in the future as I did while in high school, you will probably be expelled. I, Sam Hutchins, do will Buddy Marden my job in Ryegate Corner this summer. Now Buddy you can see Her” more often. I, Kenneth Fiske, do will Deli” Bailey my ability to catch ink wells. Maybe someone-else won't get blamed for it next time. Deli. I, Idamae Chamberlain, do will my vast supply of pencils to the coming Senior boys. Believe me, boys, you'll need them. Right, Stanley? I, Stephen Bailey, do will Irene Chamberlain my ability to get along with teachers. Maybe next year won’t be so boring, Irene. I, Paul Kaiser, do will Freeman Hitchcock my well groomed hair. Now Freeman, you won't need any more home permanents. I, Jane Rowden, do will to Ida Wilson my secret formula, XS, for losing weight. I’ve heard tell that love has something to do with it, Ida!!! I, Stanley Boyce, do will to Lunnie Clark a wrist watch. Now Lunnie, you can get in before 3 in the morning. Lastly, we appoint CAROLINE BOYCE executor of this last will and testament.

Boyce GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girl’s basketball season of 1951-52 proved to be quite an ex- citing and successful one for Wells River. We won ten games and lose five. Of all the games, twelve were in the league and three were with other schools. We took third place at the end of the season. In November, we went to Spaulding High in Barre to a basketball clinic. Coaches and teams from approximately six schools attended. Everyone learned the new rules. Some helpful pointers were given by the sponsor of the clinic. Montpelier High School held a playday on Saturday, January 26 to which we also journeyed. We all enjoyed a very happy but tiring day. We won all the games we played. The Alumnae Game, held on December 28, proved to be a very exciting one. We won 24 to 16. The old grads” playing as forwards were Doris and Barbara Sawyer, Barbara Bidwell, Barbara Bailey, Sally Farwell, and Nancy Gould. The guards were Ann Demeritt, Marion Webster and Margaret Bailey Fankhauser. — Thirty-three — Back Row ( . to r.): L. Simmons, L. Farwell, G. Brock Front Row ( . to r.): D. Bailey, B. Cushing, C. Boyce The high scorers of our team this season were Idamae Chamber- lain and Trilly Boyce. Ida had 131 points and Trilly 126. The captain of our team this year was Jane Rowden. The scores for the season were as follows: W. R. H. S. 26 Concord 18 W. R. H. S. 30 Peacham 27 W. R. H. S. 16 Mclndoes 21 W. R. H. S. 29 Newbury 18 W. R. H. S. 36 Orford 24 W. R. H.

Bidwell BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Maroons of WRHS suffered another bad season although we had high hopes back in November. Everyone felt sure that we had the most powerful team Wells River had been fortunate enough to have in some years. As it was, our final standing was in the cellar of the league with 4 wins against 13 losses. One bright spot in this gloomy season was our victory over Groton High, the first by the boys in four long years. In explanation for such a seemingly poor season I lean on the old alibi of poor luck. In this case it is justifiable. We had the most injury-ridden squad in the league. The total of games missed by var- sity players was 24. As our schedule was comprised of 17 games it is easy to see that several times we were minus 2 and 3 varsity men. Dur- ing the season we suffered badly sprained ankles, a broken nose, an — Thirty-five — infected nose, measles, chicken pox, and various severe cases of indi- gestion. It was quite a year. However, as always, the sport was enjoyed almost as much as the bus trips. Those that remain at good old WRHS are looking forward to next year when perhaps Lady Luck will favor us with a few more victories. One grand event was the alumni game when the boys were wel- comed back on our courts. They included Keith Bidwell, Kendall Fiske, Bill Rowden, Sheldon Hanson, Ray Hunt, Hod Symes, and Dave Egner. The alumni was ably managed by Dean Rowden. With such a colorful list of old grads we just didn't have the heart to beat them. The scores of the games were as follows: W. R. H. S. 25 Alumni 31 W. R.
