Westbrook High School - Blue and White Yearbook (Westbrook, ME)

Keeping the honor roll from getting rusty are those who are showing signs of developing into brilliant students. Among these are Jack Anderson, Gene Waters, Judy Bailey, Bill Christian, Barrie Lovejoy, Judy Pinkham, jim Levesque and Claire Begin. Taking a part in all school activities, the Freshman class took its place in line and put on an assembly. The assembly differed from most, since it was in the form of a carnival. Some of the highlights were its dancers, high diver, fat lady, snake charmer and fortune teller. Jean Raymond and Judy Smith made quite a hit as the dancers. We, the up and coming stars of fifty-five, hope to make our school, our teachers, and our parents proud of us by developing into good citizens. The part we play in the line of sports, music, talent and studies will always be remem- bered. To Westbrook High, we, the youngest of the constellations, pledge our future star-studded years along with our sincere loyalty to her and to her standards. CLAIRE BEGIN. You Can Be cz Champion Everyone has his opportunity to be a champion, it isn't necessary to have your name in all the newspapers, magazines, and history books. Some of the greatest champions that ever lived are just the people next door. They are champions of a way of life called good citizenship. It takes good strong character to make a champion. This character must be cultivated. You won't find it easy to accomplish, but, if and when you do, the reward is well worth the effort. Character is made up of a great many factors. Desire for it is the major re- quirement, without this you can do nothing. Another factor is faithg faith in yourself and faith in your God. You must also develop your personality and your abilities through work and observation. Accomplishing this, though, will avail you nothing if you do not have interest in and consideration for your fellow man. These are just a few of the factors needed to accomplish good character. It sounds like a long, hard road, but the majority of Americans have walked it successfully, so why can,t we?

Stars o H55 H Flash! Over the sky soared a huge meteor. It struck ground at the site of Westbrook High School. Behind it in the heavens shone brightly many constel- lations composed of tomorrow's stars. Since it was the first official appearance of these constellations, the astronomists gave them a primary or first name - Freshmen. After close study the stars were admitted to Westbrook High as its lowest class. All this happened on September 10, 195 1. One hundred and sixty-four new stars joined the older constellations in their new world. Wishing to show the older ones their sincerity and bright hopes, they elected class officers: president, Gene Waters, vice president, Betty Knight, secretary, Judy Chick, and treasurer, Beverly Roma. After school had been well on its way the biggest and brightest stars, the Seniors, sponsored a Freshman Reception in the month of October. The girls gave other moonbeams competition when they made their debuts in stunning evening gowns. In proper evening attire the boys arrived, though a little wor- ried. During the entertainment, Elaine Currier showed what she could do with a song by singing Because of Youf, Bobby Thorne provided music with his saxophone followed with songs by Peter Hay, Carleen Leconte, and Barbara Cote, and a dance by Carol Barbour. Thus our first social event was a success. Previous to this, however, in All Westbrook Night, another of our stars, Cecile Lavigne, won a prize for her skillful acrobats. Being accepted by the older constellations in all their activities, the Fresh- men were given a chance to play in the band. Among our talented instrumental groups are Peter Hay, Bill Christian, Bill Hamilton, Russell Breton, Nancy Far- well, Barrie Lovejoy, Jerry Brooks and Dave Morton. Among the brightest in our group is an artist. His name is Bobby Beaudoin. We believe that in the future his works of art will appear on the covers of Look, Life,', or Quick magazines. If this doesn't happen, he may take Al Capp's place as the cartoonist of the Lili Abner series. Included in his works of art is a portfolio of his teachers which many of you may have seen. Since it is due to sports that Westbrook has won recognition, we cannot help but mention our young hopefuls in that line. In football we have Ronnie Estes, Gene Waters, and Archie Prince. The basketball team, assisted by Gene Waters, Bill Bragdon, jim Levesque, Bill Hamilton, Larry Holston, Jim Roby, Dave Ferris, Dick Grant and Dave Burton has seen its way through many vic- tories and no defeats. A good showing is expected also in baseball and track. Although the girls haven't had many victories in basketball they are getting pre- pared for future years. Those who made the Junior Varsity are Louise Berry, Betty Knight and Judy Bailey. Other Freshman players are Ann Delcourt, Ann LaBrecque and Marilyn Record. ..
