C559 junior Glass Westbrook, Maine, March 2, 1967. Dear Carolyn: How I hope when you receive this letter you will be having a good time. How are you? Here is the information you asked for concerning our Junior class in high school. I certainly cannot see how you could forget so much about our class. For instance, don't you remember the day in English class when Albert Bertin asked Jean Asker if she wanted a transfusion when she went to fill her pen? Albert was always keeping us on our toes by his subtle remarks. You certainly couldn't forget Eddie,' Johnson scampering around school with his camera. Did you know that Roger Arsenault, who was so active in football, is now the star player on the professional team Boston Yanks? Eileen Davis who played such good basketball ended up as a teacher of Latin at Boston University. Last Week she had a reunion with her old basket- ball chums, Claire Lebel, Mildred Maines, Jeannine Prince, and Carol St. Pierre. Do you mean to say you do not remember the day in Miss Abbott's home room when she asked Charlie Morse if he was tardy? No, he said, I was late! And Robert Ritchot who always came up with bright answers in his classes is now the Ambassador to England along with Gary Cairns, Ambassador to Spain. I do not blame you for not remembering the ones who were quiet. I can't seem to remember Walter Anderson, the new radio comedian ever reciting in English class, of course maybe I've forgotten. And Marcia Gooding who was so quiet has become part owner of a New York Night Club. In talking with Philip Craigie, the Principal of Westbrook High, I found that no one in the last zo years has been equal to Evelyn Walker and Carolyn Stigman in Junior math. It isn't quite clear but were Mary Berryment and Audrey Snow, along with Gloria Maye, good Latin students? There were also a few others who made impressions in some classes: Mary Verrill, Mary Soper, Gloria Peterson, Arline Hall, Catherine Leber, Doris Gemmell and Philip Craigie. Oh, yes, I almost forgot that Robert Gallant fulfilled his life ambition. He is now that star in the present opera, The Stars of the Night. Sammy Pesce, the dream of all bobbie sockers, was in our class, too - he played football, I think. Lucky it didin't spoil his looks! I hope this is sufficient information for your book. Yours truly, AUDREY J. SNOW. Twenly-seven

We QBeIz'eve in CDreams We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams . . . We dreamed of being Seniors for three years, then one day we awoke and found it was true. We dream of graduating, and soon we shall awaken to find that this dream is a reality. It is now, when we're just rubbing the sleep from our eyes, that we remember our dreams most vividly. Many of us dreamed of making the teams-basketball, baseball, football. Now we look back from behind the W's we wear, and smile. We dreamed of waving an honor card before our parents' eyes, of acting in the school play, of playing in the band, of passing Math with at least a B, of winning the game, and the most unanimous dream-of being recognized as a part of Westbrook High. Now as weremember an honor card, a certain game, a letter received in sports or music, our parents' pride, a teacher's praise, or a slap on the back from a class- mate, we hate to stop dreaming. To be truthful, the class of ,47 have had a few nightmares, too. We remem- ber the sinking, choking sensations of required speeches before the class, of mid- year exams, first assembly appearances, and the sensation of being started at when we came in late. Somehow these never lasted though, and after a number of these nightmares we discovered our friends weren't so frightening as they listened to our speeches, and that they only stared in a friendly way if we were late. 'They even sympathized and laughed with us. We,ll never fear nightmares so greatly again because we've experienced them. 0 Yes, as a class, we believe in dreams. We're going to keep on dreaming-for as we half sadly, half happily, watch our dreams come true, we resolve to dream bigger dreams that they may be realities, too.

Eze Sophomore Class The Sophomore Class began its year by electing class oificers. They were: Charles Spencer, President, John MacHardy, Vice President, Jean Frank, Secre- tary, and Roger Shaw, Treasurer. The scholastic ability of the class was well proven by Jeanne Caron, Thomas DeWolfe, Linwood Fredrickson, Dolores Johnson, Margaret Levesque, Faye Robertson, Priscilla Stultz, Patricia Theriault, Helen Tucker, and Virginia Van Der Voort whose names appeared on the Honor Roll. We were well represented on the radio program, Cavalcade of Maine Youthf, by Thomas DeWolfe, Lin- wood Fredrickson, and John MacHardy. Approximately 35 members of the class participated in the activities of the Scholastic Club which is under the leadership of Miss Richmond. Those who exhibited their acting talents at All Westbrook Night were: Patricia Theriault, Lawrence Seavey, Philip Ingalls, Jeannette Crooker, Ann Twombly, and Priscilla Stultz. They put on the entertaining skit, Alice Blue Bonnet and Johnny Fedora. we did our share in contributing to sports. In football, Charles Spencer, George Blanchard, and Velmont Letarte were lettermen. Stanley Plummer, James Hebert, Velmont Letarte, Harry Randall, and Roger Shaw went out for basketball. Though none of them played on the varsity squad, we hope they will be loading the hoops for old Westbrook High next year. Roselle Letarte, Dot Martin, and Jeannette Crooker did Well on the girls' basketball team. In conclusion, I think you will agree that this year has been a very happy and a most successful one. We are looking forward to 1949. ROGER SHAW, ,49. Twenly-eight
