UNO, Bill, but maybe we can drag out our meeting so there won't be enough time for Miss Chick to give us a test.', This conversation should sound familiar to any Washington Club member. The Washington Club is usually started during the Junior year. Its goal is a trip to the nation's capitol, and all of us are looking forward to it with great anticipation. Washington has many wonders in store for 36 Westbrook High Seniors, an added attraction for the girls is Annapolis. The organization for this long awaited trip was headed by Roberta Wfyer and Peter Thoits as co-chairmen. It was backed by our class advisors, Mrs. Fairchild and Mr. Burnham. It seems that the club of !S4 waited until their last year to raise money for the big event. Nearly every Week this year something has been happening. The annual Holly Ball proved to be a gala event with Christmas decorations, free refreshments and a smooth orchestra. The Shamrock Ball and several other dances provided the student body many evenings of dancing to the music of our favorite orchestras. Also, after many of our uhomei' basketball games, the stu- dents ended the evening with a view dance in the gym, also sponsored by the Washington Club. Several food sales and a card party brought in more money. The lunch bar provided the student body with recess snacks, and the club with a little extra cash. Many of us made new acquaintances by knocking on doors asking people to buy fudge or donate paper to help our worthy cause.

Freshmen The Class of 'S 7 has already started looking forward to graduation day. Those who are well along scholastically are Sandra Peters, Robert Brown, Ronald Cole, Themia Markos, Mary Morton, Mary Dyer, Martha Pratt, David Small, XVilliam Stevens, Joan Caron, Elbert Fielder, Margaret Harnois, Marilyn Jensen, Paul Kinmond, Barbara Laihn, Lucille Lampron, and Marvin Peterson. Our first important step was the election of class oiiicers, who were President, Roland Tetraultg Vice-President, David Sinclair, Secretary, Ann Hebert, and Treasurer, Regina Hayer. When the doors of Westbrook High were opened last fall, we found we had some ambitious sportsmen with grammar school experience. John Bragdon and Lubert Lestage made the varsity basketball team, and John even had the thrill of playing in the tournament. Some other outstanding players were Robbie Wormell, Robert Martin, and Phillip Lestage. These boys also played on the football squad. As members of the cheerleading squad Mary Foster, Anne Wormell, and Martha Pratt spurred their classmates on to victory. The Freshman girls basketball team did very well, even though they played few games. Rachel St. Pierre was the only Freshman to make the varsity squad, although Anne wofmell made the J. V. team. Another favorite sport among the girls was field hockey. During the year we also found singers, musicians, actors, and actresses among us. When the school play was presented in December our class was represented by Themia Markos and Robert Jensen. Themia played the part of a Russian princess, while Robert was a G-Man. The Freshmen are represented by 12 band members and 16 glee club members, with Charles Emery doing a line job as a glee club soloist. This year one of our classmates, Ronald Cole, won recognition at All Westbrook Night. We also put on the Thanksgiving Assembly, which depicted a pilgrim church scene. Some of the members of the cast were Charles Emery, David Sinclair, Robbie Wormell, Larry Caron, Elbert Fielder, Patty Daniels, Marleen Chandler, Ronald Cole, Martin Wiemert, Dorothy Bustin, and Janet Saucier. In all of these activities we feel that our class has shown great ambition and will continue to excel throughout our high school years. ANNE WORMELL and ROBERT JENSEN

Che N44 Club On October 20, the auditorium and corridors of Westbrook High School were the scenes of some very unusual happenings. Firzt, students were blind- folded, made to crawl under chairs, over mats, and then up and down stairs. The beauty treatment consisted of lipstick, perfume, and powder Qin overdosesj. But this wasn't the end! After a brisk walk in the cool evening air, some members refreshed themselves by dunking for apples, clothes and all. Oh, but don't get excited, the students hadn't gone crazy. They were just being initiated into the 44 Club by the Senior club members. After the first meeting, the club met regularly every other week, with a very high attendance rate. It is composed of junior and senior College English students, and is excellently advised by Mr. Robinson. Officers for this year were Peter Gro-ndin, president, Jerry Sinclair, vice-president, Roberta Wyer, secretary, Bill MacHardy, treasurer. Each meeting is planned by a committee and is always well organized. We have had speakers on safety and driving, on delinquency, and on travel. Film strips of the U. S. and Korea have been shown to us, besides some safety films. Aside from our meeting we also have many social activities. The first of these was the Invitation Dance, held in February, which replaced the Barnyard Hop. Later in April, we sponsored our perennial favorite, the Stardust Ball. Near the end of the year there was a 44 Club Banquet, which was held at Pine Point. As is readily seen we are a busy, progressive club, and will remain so under the guidance of Mr. Robinson. As long as there is a 44 Club there will always be fun, mirth, and knowledge extended to all its members.
