Uwe Day Is Coming The Junior Class may think that the end is just around the corner, but it's really the beginning just coming in sight. Our class is well on the road to success under the leadership of our ofhcers: Gene Waters, President, Betty Knight, Vice-President, Judy Pinkham, Secretary, and Ronnie Stultz, Treasurer. This is our president's third consecutive year in oflice. Scholastic ability has put our class on both the major and the minor honor rolls. Many of the students on the brighter sidei' are Judy Bailey, Claire Begin, Jerome Brooks, Ann Delcourt, Ernest Fielder, Roberta Hudson, Judy Pinkham, Betty Madsen and Gene Waters. In the sports world we are no exception, but contribute much to the school. Bill Bragdon, Bill Hamilton, Jim Levesque, Gene Waters, Ronnie Estes, Leo Pratt, Ronnie Stultz, Ray Welch, Larry Holston, Dick Grant, and Jack Ander- son are our old stand-bys in basketball. A little bruised and battered but still alive after the football season were Roger Vaillancourt, Royden Belanger, Jim Roby, Gene Vfaters, Bruce Libby, Dick Grant, Ralph Smith, Bob Larry, Ronnie Estes, Charlie Gemmell, Ronnie Stultz, Jerry Sickles, Lawrence Dill, Clifford DeRoche and Hormidas Aube. The girls making the field hockey team were Claire Begin, Terry Sirois and Claire Paulhus. The girls who ended the basketball season very nicely were Ann LaBrecque, Pat Cousens, Ann Delcourt, Louise Berry and Lorna Payne. Judy Bailey, Betty Knight and Louise Berry represented the class by joining the cheerleading squad. Their sparkling performance at all the games was a credit to our class. In dramatics and prize speaking We are off to a grand start. Putting on a great performance in the school play were Bev Billings, Bill Christian, and Earl Libby. A good indication of our importance in dramatics is shown by the fact that half of the prize speakers are Juniors. Those taking part are Bev Billings, Bill Christian, Judy Smith and Earl Libby. The glee club and band have been very successful this year with the help of some of our talented Juniors. Those seen in the gym every Tuesday morning are Nancy Farwell, Barrie Lovejoy, Bev Billings, Jerry Brooks, Russell Breton, Bill Christian, Earl Libby and Barry Morse. Prancing very high were our two major- ettes, Angela Rondeau and Dotty Green. One more year and most of us will be marching down the aisle and receiving our diplomas. Some will go on to college and many will start working after they graduate. Whatever We do we feel that even though high school may end, it will only be the beginning of our life of learning.

Sophomore Class In September, 1952, 15 6 scared Freshmen stood in front of Westbrook High School Waiting to become members of the mysterious life hidden behind those red-brick walls. There were students among us but none seemed to fit the usual conception that all students are unhealthy, with hair so hopelessly straight, that it makes you shudder, and horn-rimmed glasses at least an inch thick. Some of these students proved themselves by the spring of '54. They are Donald Delisle, Joseph Shaw, Ethelyne Billings, Janice Boucher, Wilfred Leighton, Martha Mer- rill, Do-nald Waterhouse, Rena Jones, Elizabeth Prince, Lillian Hopkins, David Bois, Bernadette Proulx, Andrew Jensen, Augustus Randall, Shirley McLellan, Nvilliam Annis, Rosaire Gervis, Nancy Nielsen, Thomas Tuttle and XVayne Tuttle. There Were also athletes who have found their rightful spots on our teams. These players have had a touch of the keen competition which will be so much a part of our lives when we graduate in 195 6. The boys trying for the all important touchdowns were Bill Doucette, Roger Hammer, Tom Waters, Bob Tourangeau and Ted Harriman, While Wilfred Leighton, Bob Tourangeau, Tom Tuttle and Butch Boucher went hoop crazy. The girls werenit to be outdone. Judy Saun- ders, Sandra Madsen, Shirley McLellan, Rowena Merrill, Rena Jones and Ethelyne Billings played field hockey and were joined by Jackie Jordan, Laura Pratt, and Peggy Hebert to play basketball. Marie Hansen was the only representative on the cheerleading squad. For Sophomore officers we elected Wilfred Leighton, Bill Doucette, Joan Labrecque, and Bob Tourangeau. This task of leadership we entrusted in their hands will aid them well in their later years. Also on that day in September, there were actors and actresses waiting to make their debuts in the school play. Among those successful were Joe Shaw, Nancy Lee Neilson, Judy Randall, Basil Boobas and Emerson Trafton. Nancy Lee Neilson, Judy Randall, and Basil Boobas also represented us in prize speaking. We also claim many musicians. Basil Boobas stands out in this field with his amazing ability at the keyboard. We have contributed many band members as well. They are Fred Noack, Wayne Libby, Janice Wood, Alton Miller, Betty Bloomer, Norma Gordon, Don Mannett, Shelia Greene, Barry Morse, Priscilla Hatt, Larry Slade, Paul Phillips, and Patty Anderson. But we certainly must not forget the singers and artists of our class. Mem- bers of the Art Class are Loretta Chaisson, Martha Merrill, Janice Boucher, Janice Mondville, Virginia Craft, Verna Dumont and Robert Fields. The glee club members are Loretta Chaisson, Janice Mondville, Carolyn Kneeland, Annette Lebel, Jeanette Lebel, Janice Boucher, Virginia Craft, Elaine Young, Patty Peter- son, Laurette Bertin, Carol Shaw, Anne Pednault, Marilyn Dolson, Carrie Gallant, Florence Jones, Basil Boobas, Patricia Mockler and Norma Gordon. We have taken an interest in the outside affairs of our school. There were members of our class who went on the physics trip to Boston in February. The school dances have been sparked by our presence. Sports affairs are our pride and ivy- In June, 1956, We shall again step into a mysterious world, after thirteen years of preparation. Every instance in our two years of high school has been direct or indirect training for the beginning of adult life. The Class of as 6 wishes to thank all who have helped us along, and all who may help us on our way to graduation.
