We, the Juniors The Junior Class is very prcminent in all school activities. We started the year off right by electing Patrick Welch, president, Harold Rice, vice president, and Fern Wilson, secretary. Our next official act Was to appoint our ring committee which consisted of Barbara Miller, Patrick Welch, William Pomerleau, Edward Barker, Robert Chipman, and Nancy Lemieux, chairman. This committee selected certain rings without too much dispute. When they presented their selections before the class for a final vote, nearly everyone agreed on the same ring. The next step was being measured for the rings, by this time we were all pretty excited. We were in high hopes of receiving them before Christmas, but We were told that they Wouldn't be ready before January. We built up our hopes once more, but the rings were again delayed. Then one day, they came unexpectedly and We all rushed down to the auditorium to get them. One of the first to arrive in the auditorium Was Billy Smith, but he was destined to be disappointed again, for his was one of several which Weren't ready. Some time later, just before Feb- ruary vacation, more of the rings arrived, that is, all but four, and Billy's was one of those four. We were beginning to wonder just Why he was so anxious to receive this ring, and We came to the conclusion that there must be some girl Waiting for it. Cheer up, Billy, it will come yet. In football the Juniors were very well represented by Paul Levesque, Joseph Pecararo, William Pomerleau, and Patrick Welch. We doubt very much if the coach could get along in boys' basketball with- out the points Joe Pecararo piles up and without the rebounds Paul Levesque gets. Shirley Alcorn, Theresa Arseneault, Theresa Doiron, Frances Harnois, and Fern Wilson have all contributed to the fine record made by the girls' basketball team this year. We are proud of the Juniors who took part in the annual school play, Letters to Lucerne. The audience loved Bette Chaplin as Margarethe, a Ger- man cook. Ellen Dyer as Gretchen Linder, an instructor at a girls' school, did very well for herself. Joan Spiller as Sally Jackson, a Canadian girl, played her part perfectly. Richard Taylor was excellent as Hans Schmidt. David Chase and William Smith helped to make the play a financial success. At the half, Marjorie Flynn, Richard Taylor, Majella Gaudreau, Robert Knight, Julius Marzul, and William Smyth were leading in scholastic honors. One of our chief claims to fame is our ability to make noises, most of them queer. No one in school can dispute the fact that the Juniors are able to make more noise than any other class, in fact, it's even been said that We can make more noise than all the other classes put together. In most cases, Harold Rice and Pat Welch are the champion noise makers, but George Smith, Herbert Merrill, and Paul Levesque help them a great deal. Speaking of queer sounds, have you ever heard Joe Pecararo? Maybe Windham air builds healthy lungs. The girls do their share of making noises, too. If any one enters a class of Juniors, the girls can be heard either whispering or giggling, oftentimes both. 'Tis said that even though our class is very active in all school affairs, the teachers, at least, will remember us for our noise. We were all sorry to learn of che death of one of our classmates, Mary Twombly. Mary was always loyal to her school and she Was very active in the musical field. Your Junior Scribe, FERN WILSON.
