ell IIU N III ID IIQ, S JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Sitting: DONALD BRYDON lPresidentl. Standing left to right: DOROTHY KINMOND lVice- Presidentl, MARY FRASER lTreasurerl, and JANE SMITH lSecretary A LETTER TO THE JUNIORS Dear Classmates: Here's that man again, your class reporter, reluctantly transcribing for you the news of the year as seen from a slide rule. This is the hidden chapter in our lives entitled How 'We Became Juniors, or The Progress of a Kleptomaniacf' If you will lend us your ears, we will return them to you cleaned and pressed. Worse can be better, as Mr. Jordan so often says, peering benignly over his spectacles at the chemistry class. Despite another year having passed since last we communicated, everything looks much the same. Jane Skeeter Smith is still class secretary--she keeps the records we haven't got. We elected as president, Donald Brydon. Dotty Kinmond is vice-president. Mary Fraser is treasurer. If we had a business manager, Marjorie Dame could be it. She's very businesslike in odd moments. Looking over an old program of Growing Painsl' we keep to cry over in sentimental minutes, we came upon scattered names whose context seemed oddly connotative of juniority-tor instance, basket- ball-playing Madeline McAloney: Jimmy Welch, a matinee idol ot long standing: Marjorie Dame, who had to smile: and Mary Fraser, being maternal again. Dot Howe prompted. The football team was bIessedl?j with the presence of certain musclebound juniors- 'Wug Theriault, Burton Witham, Gordon Cousins, and Boob Knight sometimes. Scholastically, the juniors scintillate. There are the steady lights, like Arline Swendsen, Anita Zahares, and Roger Welch. Georgette LeBeI is another used to tripping up the aisle for her honor card. For the first time in years and years the male portion ofthe class really came through in shining colors. Bill Rochleau, Roger Welch, and Donald Brydon were all on the honor roll. Basketballs to the right of me, basketballs to the Iett of me volleyed and thundered-or some- thing. Anyway, Grover Barbour was one of the high scorers for the League and he's a junior. Wug Theriault played a good game lwith offside encouragement from Margiel. Waynie Small lwith ditto from Anniej came in better late than never. George Hague, Donald Doyle, and Harry Watson were other juniors who played and excelled. And the ladies, ah the ladies! Again Ann Johnson, ornamental as well as a good player: Marguerite Auclair, another whizz: Madeline McAloney, that glamor-girl gone muscular: Betty Given, a whirlwind in shorts: and Corrine Harnois, a lady of prowess, played excellent games. Donald Brydon and Leland Kenny provided sponsorship for the junior assembly. It was a good assembly. Ol course, a peek into a French class gone wrong lwe mean when teacher goes outl would have been more enjoyable, but you can't have everything. Life is catching up with us, juniors. Soon we will be old, old ladies and gentlemen-seniors, to be exact. Now is the moment for your stern reporter to point an accusing finger at you and demand your purpose in life. Do you want to go on forever having fun in assemblies, annoying Mr. Jordan, going into corners at recess, teasing Miss Stevens, watching Ruth come in late and Conrad not at all- or do you want to reform? You don't! Well, all I can say is, just wait until you are seniors lif everl and have gray hairs. Until then, we turn you over for better or for worse to the remainder of this book. Have a good time. ii YOUR JUNIOR SCRIBE.

S 'ID IP IIHI 'ID IW ID IQ Ili S SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Right to lett: RICHARD SPILLER Presdentl FRED ERICK BERNIER lVice Presidentl MALCOLM PLUMMER lTreasurerl, and ERLEEN INGALLS lSecretary I . DEAR DIARY Pages ot a sophomore's diary torn from here and there, but, thank goodness, not everywhere. Sept. Il: Returned to school. I-lad tun teasing freshmen. Pretty green looking lot. Wonder it we were as bewildered last year. Well, looks like a long hard year ahead, but here goes. I hope to get all Ns this year. Sept. 28: We had a class meeting. Atter spending most ot the fourth period counting ballots. we tound that our new otlicers were Richard Spiller, president: Fritz Bernier, vice-president: Erleen Ingalls, secretary: and Malcolm Plummer, treasurer. Oct. 6: Sophomore assembly! TherriauIt's taint was feigned, but not so that of the audience. We all envied the freshmen who sat in the rear of the hall and couldn't hear very well. I-lowever, every- body survived and it wasn't too bad. Today was pretty busy. The Major Westbrook Show was produced tonight, with a tlurry ot jokes stolen from HeIlzapoppin and other sources. Jimmy lngraham, Helene Sawyer, Shirley Libby, Ruth Asker, Catherine Wentworth, Merle Gott, and the Trumpet Trio all dis- tinguished themselves by giving breath-taking performances which will go down in history as the best in a decade. lThey were good, too.l Nov. 24: The assembly play was presented in the auditorium. Everyone did well, especially Calvin Knowlton, who had the leads. The author must have had plenty ot imagination to get one person into so much trouble in just three acts. Bette Shibles and June Caron were able supporters in the cast. Elizabeth Furbish sold a heap ot tickets and helped to make the play a success. Jan. 22: Took the first ot my mid-years. Decided to leave the job ot getting all A's to someone else-anyone else. Feb. 2: Rank cards with halt-year averages were passed out. When I saw mine, I did too. There were some, though, who managed to get on the honor roll. For instance, to mention a tew, Mary Carver, Clifton Clark, Esther Libby, David Miller, Pauline Spiller, and Jessica Wentworth. The sopho- mores, with thirteen on the honor roll, led all the other classesl I I I I Feb. 4: I-ladn't been home since I got my rank card day betore yesterday, but I got hungry and took a chance. lNotel: I'm writing this standing up. Feb. Ib: The Scholastic Club presented the assembly. It was a burlesque ot the court scene from Shakespeare's Merchant ot Venice. I imagine old Will nearly jumped out ot his grave when he heard it. Norwood Joy kept everyone laughing with his Chinese accent and Confucius sayings: Ashley Carter played the villain with a Jewish dialect: Cornelia Perkins did right well as Mae West: and John Welch was almost too realistic with his tough gangster role. March 2I: Pictures taken tor Blue and White. All wore their best clothes and grins. April 6: The One-Act Play Contest with tive schools participating was held at Deering I-ligh. May I5: Final exams approaching. May 22: Getting closer. May 24: Here endeth the diary. I'll take no chances on recording the results ot those exams.
