DECEMBER 18-We take back everything we said about the Freshmen. They did a superb job with their Christmas assembly featuring Carlene MacPherson, Alan Davis, Gregory Stone, Richard Goff, Richard Soper, and many others of the College English class. We're proud of them now! fAre our faces redlj DECEMBER 18-JANUARY 4-Christmas Vacation! Need more be said? Two weeks in which to have a wonderful time-and we did! JANUARY 4 -The inevitable happened! - we came back to school. Everyone looked as though Saint Nicholas had concentrated on him personally. JANUARY 1 5-The Sophomores were feted at the gala Sophomore Ball. This was the first dance after our Christmas vacation and everyone was just raring to go-and they did. Oh yes, it took a little more time to go this year because We had to walk-no gas, no tires-you know. Everyone had a grand time and decided that Sophomore Balls were here to stay. Congratulations! N44 Clubf, a swell job. FEBRUARY 9-Jimmy Ingraham c,42J was home on leave from his duties as Drill Instructor in the Marine Corps at Parris Island, South Carolina, and talked to us in assembly. We enjoyed it very much, and honored him by singing the Marine's Hymn for which he had written words dedicated to his mother. Best of Luck, Jim. FEBRUARY I2-We had a double assembly-the boys in the Auditorium were entertained by a man from the Maritime Commission while the girls were fascinated by a WAAC. I guess that means more recruits for victory. FEBRUARY 16-Unbelievable! There was no school because of cold weather- -4oo! Golly! Why don't we do this about once a week? What do you say, weather man? FEBRUARY zz-26-Washingtonis birthday and canned food rationing were re- sponsible for this lovely Qlj wonderful QU much-needed GJ vacation. How We love 'em. MARCH 12- Congrats,', Scholastic Club-You certainly know how to entertain your superiors-the Juniors. I'm sure that because of the wonderful evening they had at the Junior Prom, the class will be your humble servant-that is, if you pull anything too ghastly. MARCH zz-26-Spring Vacation! We just can't express our feelings except by saying Whoopie or some such overworked ejaculation! JUNE 6-The Seniors began to realize that their high school years were nearly ended and that they must begin to look to the future. The Baccalaureate Service was inspiring and left everyone feeling a little more confident in his ideals and a little more aware of his place in the World. JUNE I 1-Will We ever forget graduation? I'm sure it will always be one of our most treasured memories. Even the school-haters looked a little glum at the thought that they were leaving Westbrook High. The Senior Reception was a big success. Although each Senior thought that it might be the last time he would dance at Westbrook High he had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything. To those of you who are still attending our Alma Mater We, the Seniors, want to say this: Raise her standards, never let them fall. Good luck and goodby. Twenly-fiw
