All these pupils have acquired an education which will help them greatly in the life that follows after high school. Many should go on to college or some other department of further education. One might ask what are the benefits of spending so much money on college as it is :o expensive and already you have a diploma from high school? There are numerous advantages in attending a higher institution of learning. A person may go through high school as an average student but in an university, through further study, he may discover that he has hidden abilities of which previously there had been no symptoms. An individual is stimulated mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. A student is apt to study more intensively if he is working at something he is interested in. There are many vari- eties of competitive sports in which one is able to participate if he has any talent in athletics. It might prove difficult to be able to play in universities unless one is exceptionally good. That is a situation in which a small college might meet a person’s needs and advantages. Spiritually, a person has many opportunties to grow immensely. In almost every institution chapel must be attended. Through this daily contact with religion, one’s ideals should be considerably higher than they were at entrance of the institution. Through constant mingling with many types of people, an individual will learn how to mix with people successfully. He will attain poise which formerly he did not have. Last but not least, a person with a college degree is apt to earn more money than an uneducated individual. Sometimes, this does not prove true but I am assured that the one with a college education will certainly be much happier than the other person. These are several of the numerous advantages of going on to school but no one but the individual can decide whether to go or not. MARY L. EGNER, Editor-in-Chief — Five — SCHOOL NEWS The Freshman Initiation was held October 8, 1952, at the Village Hall. The freshmen came in numerous costumes that were given to them by the sophomores. The sophomores had a program planned for the freshmen to do funny stunts. It was interesting and was enjoy- ed by onlookers and exciting for the freshmen. The publishing of the Party Line” was continued again this year. Subscriptions were sold in order to raise money to buy supplies needed to print the paper. Many thanks to the editor, John Demeritt, and the staff for the splendid work they have done throughout the year. We hope in the future the paper will become better. The seniors came forth November 12 with an unforgettable play known as Aunt Susie Shoots the Works.” It was a comedy farce with laughs and scares. Greatly remembered is our fascinating Aunt Susie, alias Deli Bailey. A Public Speaking Contest was presented November 6, 1952. It was followed by a spelling contest. Ida Wilson was the winner for speaking and Yvonne Grenier for spelling. On November 14, 1952, the two winners went to St. Johnsbury to display their abilities. Hot lunches were served again this last winter. Mrs. Zwicker was able to be with us to cook those delicious dishes. We give to her great thanks. Both WRHS boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were honored at the beginning of the basketball season by having their pictures taken by the Caledonian Record which later appeared in that paper. Again this year, the seniors have patronized the Warren Kay Vantine Studio by letting them take the graduation pictures. A Christmas party was held this year at the high school. A very attractive tree was set up in study hall, where the gifts were given out by Freeman Hitchcock dressed as Santa Claus. There was dancing — Six — enjoyed in the junior high room. Refreshments were served in the senior room. We have the pleasure of having Mrs. MacDonald, a senior at the University of Vermont, to practice teaching the English classes for six weeks. On March 17, the history classes of Wells River and Newbury visited the Legislature in Montpelier. We were the guests of Mr. Jock, the representative from Newbury. The seniors were awarded jackets on February 20th, for playing three years in sports. Those who got jackets were: Deli Bailey, Trilly Boyce, Priscilla Drown, Mary Egner, Irene Chamberlain and Connie Mayhew for the girls’ team. Russ Sulham, Dave Bidwell, and Buddy Marden, for the boys’ team. —CONNIE MAYHEW PRICILLA DROWN ----WRHS--- HILLDALE LEAGUE NEWS The Hilldale League started off its sixth year with a Public Speak- ing contest and Spelling Bee held in St. Johnsbury Trade School on November 14, 19 2. Each school in the league sent a speaker and a speller. Elaine Urcjuhart of Newbury won the Public Speaking Con- test. Two prizes were given to the two highest spellers; one from Mclndoes and one from Mt. St. Joseph. On November 22, the annual basketball jamboree was held at Peacham with four schools participating: Newbury, Peacham, Groton, and Wells River. On March 13, the League Dance was held at Concord. The gym was gaily decorated with the colors of the different schools. All the basketball teams were present. Before the last dance the trophies were awarded to the League Basketball Champions, the Mclndoes girls and the Concord boys. On March 27, the Music Festival was held at Wells River with seven of the league schools participating. The Festival opened with two selections by the league orchestra. The Glee Clubs from the various schools sang their own songs followed by songs from the com- bined chorus. The Hilldale League Play Festival was held at the Newbury Gym on April 9 with Newbury, Orford, and Wells River participating. After the plays the critic met with casts and talked over the plays. The Hilldale League Field Day was held at Newbury, May 29th. —PRISCILLA DROWN — Seven — AUNT SUSIE SHOOTS THE WORKS The greatest show of the year, presented by the Class of 1953, was Aunt Susie Shoots the Works.” Yes, this was an entirely differ- ent mystery farce with mysterious and hair-raising events; the strange sausage works and the outstanding characters; Aunt Susie, Omar Graves and the two negro servants. The entire cast included: Aunt Susie — Deli Bailey Joy Herbert — Trilly Boyce Scarlet Deane — Mary Egner Laura Dawson — Irene Chamberlain Madam Zola — Marlene Carr Mrs. Edward Dunning (Cynthia) — Priscilla Drown Portia Lark — Connie Mayhew Omar Graves — David Bidwell La Salle Johnson — Richard Sherwin Johnny Rogers — Buddy Marden Slick Conway — Russell Sulham We’re sure that this event would never have been a success with- out the inspiration of our director, Mrs. Spear. —TRILLY BOYCE —WRHS— PLAY CONTEST On the night of March 23rd, four one-act plays were presented at the Wells River Village Hall. The Junior High School, Freshmen, Sophomores, and the combined forces of the Junior and Senior classes produced one-act plays. They were Life O’ The Party,” A Date With Barbara, Pot Luck,” and ”A Mad Breakfast.” The directors were as follows: Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Cornth- waite and Mrs. Spear. The Sophomore class is to be congratulated on its dramatization of the winning play, Pot Luck.” This play was again presented at the League Play Festival in Newbury. — Eight — —PRISCILLA DROWN THE MUSIC PROGRAM This year our capable director, Mrs. Rowe, arranged to have the League Music Festival at Wells River. The program was very success- ful with each school singing two selections, followed by a combined chorus of two hundred and fifty, led by Mr. Walter Paskevich. The Glee Club took part in the Public Speaking Contest and in the Graduation Exercises. Deli Bailey, Mary Egner, and David Bidwell attended the Ver- mont Music Festival in Burlington as members of the All State Chorus. The members of the Glee Club express their thanks to Mrs. Rowe for her time and efforts. Mrs. Wilmot’s help as an accompanist made the Music Festival a success. - PRISCILLA DROWN ---WRHS---- SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Mrs. Spear organized a small school orchestra this year. They played for the first time at the One Act Play Contest. These students are also members of the Hilldale League Orchestra. We hope the orchestra will increase in size next year. —PRISCILLA DROWN ----WRHS--- SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL The School Safety Patrol consisted of the Junior High again this year. As their Captain they elected Russell Boyce, and as their Lieuten- ant they elected Christine Kaiser. The program ran very smoothly with few complaints. — Nine — —PRISCILLA DROWN [LOV tLHR, A THE ART OF COOKING FOR BACHELORS The art of cooking is called an art quite justifiably. The fact that cooking is an art is proving itself to me more and more as I age. The preparations for the ordeal are as much of an ordeal as the cook- ing itself. First, before we touch too deeply on this subject, let it not be said that I didn't warn you first. I am of the firm belief that it is much more practical to stop now, before you have gone too far, and enjoy a meal at your nearest restaurant. The first thing that will confront you as a prospective chef is purchasing the necessary ingredients for your masterpiece. I have found that one of the easiest meals to prepare is pork and beans out of the can. But who can get romantic over pork and beans? Before making a safara to the wilds of a modern super-market you need the following virtues; a will of iron, nerves of steel. Last but not least, you need just scads of money. Now, before you spend all your money on things that you don’t need, let me give you a few pointers. The marvels of modern science have invaded the field of cooking now. Science has made our lives much easier to live. The brown-n-serve” roll is a new invention that is a must for all us bachelors. To serve these rolls prepare an oven to four hundred fifty degrees, melt some butter and brush it on top of the rolls and bake till evenly browned. There is nothing to it, provid- ing you don t forget the rolls in the oven. For our vegetables we will purchase some frozen french fried potatoes. Do not thaw, but place the contents of the box in a shallow pan, place in a four hundred degree oven for 15 or 20 minutes, then salt to your own taste. Next buy a box of fresh frozen peas. Place contents of box into a pan with one-half a cup of salted boiling water and add butter and cook. We now have everything except the meat and this proves to be quite a problem. — Ten — The meat problem is going to be tough; the meat probably will be, too. Anybody can cook a hot dog or a hamburger but we must eat something better than that. Steak is too hard to cook when you broil it and it doesn’t taste as good fried. So let us buy a half a broiler (chicken) and fix that up. I don’t know how to cook a broiler so you will have to look it up in a cookbook. Now that we have prepared and enjoyed our delightful meal, the disaster strikes. The dishes have to be done. Now that we have reached the high point in our experiment I must leave you to clean up as best as you can. Please don’t throw that dish at me. After all, didn’t I warn you to eat in a restaurant? —DAVID BIDWELL '53 —WRHS— OUR ABC’S A is for our arrival four years ago. B is the rank for which we struggled so. C is for Mr. Cornthwaite the principal so stern. D is the mark in history we earned. E is for evil things which we did. F is for the failures we never rid. G is graduation for which we have strived. H is the humor in school we’ve revived. 1 is the interest we sometimes lacked. J is the jokes Mrs. Gibson never cracked. K is the knowledge we tried to gain. L is for lessons which drove us insane. M is the many tests we never passed. N is the noise that we did amass. O is the orchestra Mrs. Spear had. P is the Senior Play which wasn’t bad. Q is the quiz we couldn’t abide. R is the report card we tried to hide. S is for study — we didn’t do much. T is for times we got in dutch. U is for us — the whole class of’53. V is vacation — when we were free. W is our winless boys’ team. X is the extra” in them we esteem. Y is you, WRHS, which we served. Z is for zeal — we hope will be preserved. —CONNIE MAYHEW — Eleven — HIGH SCHOOL SONG Here’s to Wells River, best old High School That you will find in all Vermont. Here’s where there’s fun and lots of good times, Yet all the learning one could want. Here is the school that shows the way, To make the most of every day Doing our best at work or play, Making the right hold sway. Faithful and steady, ever ready, We pledge ourselves to always be True to the maroon and white that binds us, Wells River we sing to thee. ----WRHS------ ALGEBRA II No matter how I strive and work Algebra II I may never shirk. I try my best but all in vain For half my work I can’t explain. I start the class with spirits bright But when I get done, boy, I’m a fright! A sign ! A formula! More times than one I have thought, Will I everget this done?” A book with pages upside down! It all makes my head go round. To solve quadratic formulas, there are four ways. They mean as much to me as football plays. Mr. McPhetres says, We’ll have a short quiz.” That’s when I begin to think, Gee whizz! What will happen if I flunk this course. My father will probably insist on selling my horse. I try to think and wrack my brain But then again it’s all in vain. Sometimes I sit and wonder when My Algebra trial will ever end. — Twelve — —LEE FARWELL, '55 THE EXPEDITION Finally, the big day had arrived. The time for our expedition into the darkest plains and deepest jungles of Africa was now upon us. Having gathered together all the necessary equipment and having hired experienced guides, we set out into the depths of Africa. The noonday sun beat unmercifully upon us as we ventured to- ward our destination. Still, we had not seen any wild beasts. We were greatly disappointed as we had been promised that we would meet hordes of wild animals. We struggled through the heavy underbrush, mopping our per- spiring brows. It was doubtful if we would ever get through the jungle alive. Bright colored birds sang in the treetops as monkeys screeched above us. Little animals scurried in front of us. Thousands of years had seemed to pass since we had been in civilization. It seemed we were doomed to failure. We did not dare return home without bagging several beasts. We had been ordered to bring back alive at least four species of wild animals found in Africa. Helplessly, we were stranded in the jungle as nightfall came. All of us were terrified as we had never slept in the jungle before. Our guides cleared a space for our sleeping bags as we prepared sup- per for ourselves. They disappeared in the jungle in hopes of shooting some little animals for themselves. As the shadows fell, the jungle seemed to become alive. Eyes peered out at us from behind every tree. What an opportunity? But what could we do? That was the question. After a time, our guides returned. They had been very successful. They informed us that they had set traps all around us. If the results were favorable, there would be some beasts there the next morning. We were awakened the next morning by some hideous noise com- ing from the vicinity around us. Our guides, trembling with excite- ment, led us to the sound. There, in a pit, was a huge lion, growling ferociously. Our guides, with no assistance, fixed the lion so it would be safe to carry him through the jungle. We succeeded in collecting several animals from surrounding pits: thus, we had a fine collection for our boss. We now started back to civilization. We bagged several animals on our journey through the plains. We obtained a variety of small animals by surprising them as we unexpectedly came through the tall grass. Finally, we reached home with our catch. It doesn’t matter that we were just on a camping trip on the hill on our farm. Does it make any difference if you know our little —- Thirteen — brothers were our guides? We, ourselves, are two boys aged twelve. We think it’s fun to camp out at night and pretend we are in Africa. It’s such fun to imagine things!! —MARY EGNER WRHS FAMOUS SAYINGS BY FAMOUS PEOPLE MR.

After three years Miss Darling passed our class of eleven on to Mrs. Stanley. In the fourth grade there were Adele Bailey, David Bidwell, Geraldean Brock, Irene Chamberlain, Charles Come, Patricia Gadwah, Arthur Lee, Ruth Leonard and we gained Caroline Boyce, Priscilla Drown, and Thelma Bijolle.

There were Twelve members in the sixth grade: Adele Bailey, David Bidwell, Caroline Boyce, Irene Chamberlain, Priscilla Drown, Arthur Lee, Margaret Nelson, Robert Provencher.

When we entered the seventh grade there were ten members. Adele Bailey, David Bidwell,, Carleton Boyce, Caroline Boyce, Irene Cham- berlain, Priscilla Drown, Arthur Lee, Margaret Nelson, Maxine Hous- ton, and Robert Verrill. We lost Eleanor Simmons, and Robert Pro- vencher. In the eighth grade we lost Maxine Houston who enrolled in Haverhill Academy. After eight long years we were admitted as Freshmen. Mary Egner and Russell Sulham joined us from South Ryegate; Connie Mayhew from Plymouth, N. H.; Charles Marden from Newark, N. J., and Walter Philbrook from East Ryegate. We lost Arthur Lee. We still had Adele Bailey, David Bidwell, Caroline Boyce, Irene Chamberlain, Carleton Boyce, Priscilla Drown, and Margaret Nelson, making a total of twelve members. We were initiated by the Sophomore class. In our Sophomore year we lost Walter Philbrook. Our one and only big event of the year was to initiate the Freshmen. In our Junior year we lost Carleton Boyce who entered St. J. Trade and Margaret Nelson. We gained Marlene Carr from Lancaster, N. H. We sold candy at the school and sponsored a class supper. With this money we paid for the Junior Prom. We have at last become Seniors. We inherited the senior room and also the bell which sticks every time it’s rung. There are three — T wenty-four — members of this class who were classmates all twelve years: Adele Bailey, David Bidwell, and Irene Chamberlain. On June 11th we hope to graduate from this grand old place. —CAROLINE BOYCE IRENE CHAMBERLAIN ---WRHS-- THE CLASS PROPHECY DIARY 1961 This diary belongs to: Sgl-. Connie Mayhew, Finance Dept., Fort Lee, Richmond, Va. April 12, Thursday Dear Diary: I am on a fourteen-day furlough and am spending a few days in New York City. By coincidence today, I thought I would have my fortune told. I found the world's greatest medium, Madame Zola, who was dressed with a turban and long earrings. After she told my future events she asked me if I knew anyone in New York. Hav- ing said no,” I was informed that the great prophesier was none other than Marlene Carr, a member of the graduating class of '53. April 13, Friday Dear Diary: Last night I spent the night at the Jazz Club. I enjoyed an after- noon at the circus which had the reputation of being the greatest enter- tainment ever known. I wandered through the midway and was attract- ed to a side-show of which the main attraction was Russell, the Muscle Man. I entered the tent to see the performance. After he presented an exhibition of his magnificent strength, I asked for an interview with him. We had a great chat about our high school years because I later discovered he was Russell Sulham, our graduate, with those big muscles. I returned to the Jazz Club for a late supper to watch the floor show. The orchestra consisted of a famous jazz group known all over the country as The Lazy Dixie Band.” The conductor, with his mas- terful playing on the saxophone was none other than Dave Bidwell. His jazz songstress and dancer was our little Lady of ’53, Deli Bailey. — Twenty-five — April 14, Saturday Dear Diary: Today I went to the hot rod race. A very thrilling experience it was. There was only one man who could turn the corners of the race track on all two wheels. My, did he ever speed through the fences and tents! All in all the performer gave us thrills especially when he ran off the track, up the stairs, and over the announcer. The winner stepped out and identified himself as Bud Marden with his winning hot rod Pat.” April 15, Sunday Dear Diary: Today I was reading the Sunday paper and was most interested in an article concerning the president of the Reach Heaven Pills” cor- poration. The president gave her story that she was so tall that she couldn't find a husband with a greater height than hers so she invented and produced the growing pill. The unfortunate manufacturer signed her name as Irene Chamberlain. April 16, Monday Dear Diary: I attended a court trial today. It seems as though a lawyer had been cheating the government out of money and had bribed many car dealers to sell only Hudson automobiles. The judge was very much amused with the trial. Since the judge, Mary Egner, had such a deep hatred for crime, she gave the criminal, Schuyler E. Cornthwaite, the verdict herself of serving three years as principal of WRHS. April 17, Tuesday Dear Diary: Tonight I walked down by the pier to see if life there was as cruel as claimed. The fog was very thick and the smell of liquor and dead fish was in the air. Suddenly I was startled when I heard a shrill whistle. I ran toward the sound and witnessed a great brawl. The participants were under the influence of liquor except for the police- man who was trying his best to civilize these brutes. After the cop had caught the leader and the other followers had escaped, he approach- ed me swinging his night stick. After he was under the streetlight I noticed I was mistaken. This cop was a she” and also to my surprise it was Caroline Boyce. She told me she had taken wrestling. Since she had won The World’s Championship she thought she would bene- fit the country by being a policewoman. She always did have a good muscle on the bell rope in those good old school days. — Twenty-six — April 18, Wednesday Dear Diary: Today as I was crossing the Sunset Avenue, a frail woman asked me to aid her to the Home for the Aged and Old Maids. While I walked with the woman I was curious why the two institutes were combined. The refined lady told me that the headmistress thought the old maids might find a prospective aged man to brighten their life at the home. We approached the home and entered the office where I found the slender female principal to be Priscilla Drown. After a conversation I left Miss Drown so that she might take care of the elderly lady who was Mrs. Mary Wilson. April 19, Thursday Dear Diary: Tonight I attended the concert. The orchestra played beautiful pieces while a ballet dancer performed. The conductor’s head and whole body were swaying in time with the music. A great sight it was when a fast number came up. The ballet dancer was the most grace- ful dancer I had ever seen. They called her Betty, the Butterfly, but I knew her as Mrs. Elizabeth Gibson. How she could leap and glide with that divine music under the guidance of the outstanding musician, Mrs. Edgar Spear! April 20, Friday Dear Diary: I ran into a tall man with glasses thicker than a magnifying glass today. He introduced himself as Professor McPhetres. He was telling me how he discovered and invented materials which have helped this country to survive. He is working on a new bomb to beat the H-bomb. It seems as though he was so busy in experiments that he just found out he has been a father of twins for three days. Congratulations. —CONNIE MAYHEW --WRHS--- WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1953 We, the class of one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three of Wells River High School in the Village of Wells River, in the town — Twenty-seven —- of Newbury, in the county of Orange and in the sovereign Republic of Vermont, being of sound body and having complete control of our senses and impulses 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 Duke Ellington’s latest. You’ve been a swell sport, and we feel that the Johnny Ray joke has gone too far. We will Mrs. Gibson a personality like Mickey Spillane’s. Next year you’ll have complete control in your English classes. We will Mrs. Spear an automatic attendance taker. From now on you can be late and still mark Brock tardy. We will Mr. McPhetres our deepest sympathy. How will you ever stand it here without this brilliant class? We will Mrs. Wilson a pair of contact lenses. Freeman won’t be able to hide them from you now. We will Mr. Morey a motor boat. Next year there will be no excuse for you not making it to Newbury when high water comes. We will Mrs. Rowe a new piano. Without our gifted voices you’ll need something to keep the glee club on pitch. We will Sam Stanley the oncoming seniors. Maybe they won’t get the bell rope stuck as often as we did. We will to all the undergraduates our years of experience as actors and actresses. We’ve noticed that the sophomores have already caught on to the know-how. Keep up the good work. We will the Juniors our mighty tower room. You may paste up all the pictures of your favorite movie stars, except Marilyn Monroe. We found out that her curves are too much for the teachers to see hanging on the wall while trying to conduct classes. We will the Sophomores our amazing athletic abilities. If Boom can’t .do it Wilson can. We will the Freshmen a few more males. Maybe this will stop the trend toward Woodsville. We will the Junior High all of our water pistols. Perhaps you’d better not use them till after school, though — you’ll have them longer. I, David Bidwell, will to anyone who wants it, my ability to drive more teachers mad than any other pupil to pass through these halls. I, Connie Mayhew, will to my sister, Beverly, my ability to get up early in the morning with only a few hours sleep. Love sure is grand, isn’t it, Bev? — T wenty-eight — I, Deli Bailey, will Rosemary Basch my place in the office. Stay out all night, then enjoy sleeping all first period, without a teacher hollering at you. I Priscilla Drown, will to Peanut Gravlin my ability to dance. The music always sounds better when you're twirling around the floor. I, Mary Egner, will to my sister, Connie, my place in typewriting class. Next year you can learn how to type love letters better. I, Marlene Carr, will to Ida Mae Nelson my ability as a medium. You meet more crazy people that way. I, Trilly Eoyce, will to Geraldean Brock my ability to stick to one man. You can’t play the field forever, you know. I, Buddy Marden, will my car to John Demeritt. Now you won’t have to bum rides from the old grads. I, Russell Sulham, will to Charlie Come my method of coming to school in the morning — late!! You get in good with the teachers that way. Lastly, we appoint CHARLES COME executor of this last will and testament. Witnessed and recorded this ninth day of June in the Year of Our Lord 19 53. Witnessed by:— MRS. WILSON, MRS.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL For the third year in succession, the Wells River team attained third place in the Hilldale League. The Players had all hoped to win the cup but fate did not have it so. The season did not open with a good start at the Round Robin in Peacham as both Co-Captains, Deli Bailey and Trilly Boyce were unable to play. As time passed, our expectations were not wholly realized. Many a game was won by the clever playing of Trilly Boyce, our highest scorer who had 161 points. She was helped by her able com- panions who also sunk some beautiful shots. We could never have been so successful as we were without the aggressive playing of our — Thirty-two — center guard, Connie Mayhew. Without the height of our guard, Irene Chamberlain, the forwards would not have achieved so many baskets. The scores for the games of the season of 1952-53 were as follows: W. R. H. S. 38 .... 29 W. R. H. S. 27 Peacham 28 W. R. H. S. 33 . .. W. R. H. S. 27 .... Groton 22 W. R. H. S. 15 .... 26 W. R. H. S. 29 Danville 31 W. R. H. S. 27 Mclndoes 38 W. R. H. S. 31 .... Concord 25 W. R. H.

Newbury 17 Denotes home games As usual, the high school challenged the Alumni to a game. The results were favorable for our team. The final score was High School 33; Alumni 16. Forwards on the Alumni team were: Marion Weeks, Shirley Leete, Barbara Bailey, Pat Stearns and Elaine Guay. High scorer was Pat Stearns with 12 points. Guards were Ann Demeritt, Ruth Wyman, and Jane Rowden. This year Wells River High School girls’ team had the pleasure of playing an afternoon game with the team from Mt. St. Joseph’s Academy of St. Johnsbury. Everyone had a good time and we all hope it will happen again next year. MARY EGNER, Manager — Thirty-three — CHEERLEADERS Left to right: Adcle Bailey, Geraldine Brock, Lorrayne Simmons, Lee Farwell, Caroline Boyce. CHEERLEADERS This year we lose two of our head cheerleaders, Deli and Trilly. They have been cheering for the W. R. H. S. basketball squads for five years. Lee Farwell is also leaving the cheerleading squad since she is attending Cushing Academy in Fitchburg, Mass., next year. —TRILLY BOYCE — Thirty-four — BOYS’ BASKFTBALL TFAM — 1952-53 First Row, I. to r.: Gordon Boomhower, f.; Dave Riggie, £.; Dave Bidwell, c.; John Demeritt, g.; Harold Gravelin, g.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL This year as in the past three or four, the boys’ basketball team of Wells River High did not do very well. We compiled a very un- impressive record of no wins and 15 defeats. We were quite lucky in that there were few injuries of any major importance this year. We lost Dave Bidwell due to a broken ankle. As in last year, we played a game with the old grads.” Those who played were: Roy Symes, Ray Hunt, Paul Kaiser, Donald Zeke” Merchant, Keith Bidwell, Dean Rowden, Kendall Fiske, Everette Dar- gie, Phil Currier, and Eugene Tink” Winchester. — Thirty-five — Individual scoring is as follows: Demeritt, 170; Marden, 138; Bidwell, 43; Come, 41; Sulham, 33; Riggie, 28; Gravelin, 18; Sargent, 5; Lamarre, 4; Boomhower, 2; and Hitchcock, 1.
