CLASS HISTORY-1959 The senior class of 1959 started out in the first grade in September 1947. In our first year we had seven students. Nancy Burnham, Susan Farwell, Roger Grenier, Solonge Houle, Donna Moulton, Bonnie Ostrander, Sula Rowell, and Wayne Gonyer. It wasn't long before we finished our first year and were on our wsy back to our second. In the second grade we gained Jo Ann St Marie Bobby Knighton, Calvin Cushing and Jure Gaylor. Later we lost Solonge Houle. In the third grade we gained Teddy Roberts and Maurice Boardman. We lost Bonnie Ostrander and June Gaylor. We had finally learned our ABC's from Miss Darling and went to Mrs. Stanley's room for the fourth grade. We gained Judy Evans, Sandy Placey, Donnie Trottier and lost Jo Ann St Marie, Maurice Boardman. In grade five we had no new class mates. In the sixth grade we gained Roberta Welch and Roger Bowley. We had finally finished our first six grades. We dreaded climbing those big stairs to Junior High, but finally made it. In seventh grade June Gaylor returned to join our class. It seemed as though time flew now that v:e had reached the upstairs. We finally reached the eighth grade and lost Suls Rowell. A new teacher was added to the staff, Mr. Griffith. He taught the 7-8 grades from then on. We were the first to have graduation in the eighth grade. It wasn't long before we started our climb to the freshman class. It seemed a longer climb than the Junior High was. We gained Harold Avery, Perl Tobin and Roger Bowley. There was one thing that bothered us becoming a Freshman - Freshman initiation. We didn't forget about it for a long time because the Sophomores wouldn't let us. We soon finished our freshman year and became Sophomores.We lost Harold Avery. In our Junior year we gained Sula Rowell again. We finally became mighty seniors and are graduating with the following students: Judy Evans, Roger Grenier, Sandy Placey,Teddy Roberts, Wayne Gonyer, Roger Bowley, Perl Tobin, Sula Rowell, Nancy Burnham and Susan Farwell. Thev did very well on the basketball team this year. Girls lost by graduation will be Judy Evans, Susan Farwell and Sula Row- ell. They were all very good players and Wells River High will miss them next year. The boys' basketball team won the Hilldale League Champion- ship. Roger Grenier and Teddy Roberts will be the only two grad- uating» They both did a great job on the basketball court. The baseball team will miss Perl Tobin, Roger Grenier, and Teddy Roberts next year although they will still have a great team. Teddy Roberts 59 75
