It Is q'z'meff In nineteen hundred and fifty-one we entered the halls of Westbrook High as Freshmen. At this time we all made promises to ourselves of what we would try to achieve in the next four years. Well, even though it seems as if it was just yesterday, it is already time to examine our consciences and see if we did keep those promises. During these last important years was your first main objective to obtain your highest possible scholastic rank? Did you willingly participate in the extra curricular activities? Were you friendly, courteous, kind, and co-operative? These are only a few of those important promises. How would you rate yourself? The past year has not been all work and no play. When we leave we will take with us the wonderful memories of Freshman Reception, our first formal, all the fun we had at games, dances, and committee meetings, the friendships we have made and enjoyed as a group. Each one of us will also have a personal pride of the things we ourselves have done or what the school has accomplished during our four years. Because of the many ups and downs, our school days have furnished us with valuable experience in working out our personal problems. In a few short months a new kind of life will be facing us. There will be no bells to tell us when to go from one thing to another as there has been in high school. We will have to start to make our own decisions in life. Probably it will be the first time in our lives that we will really think and act as individuals. This new life is full of darkness and doubt. Let us hope that God will never let us despair and that He will teach us to face every challenge bravely to insure a successful future for us all. GENE WATERS, 'SS. The junior Glass At last some of us have something to be proud of-there are two classes on whom we can look down. They may be taller, their ranks may be better, but we have been here longer! ! ! We are in our third year at Westbrook High School and now We have more of an opportunity to show our many varied talents. In this, our Junior year, we have to seriously consider our future and begin working towards that goal. ' Our first important step this year was to elect our class officers: Wilfred Leighton, president, Thomas Tuttle, vice presidentg Joan LaBrecque, secretaryg and Patty Anderson, treasurer. During the first half-year William Annis, Donald Delisle, Rosaire Gervais, Lucille Lavigne, Martha Merrill, Rowena Merrill, Joseph Shaw, and Donald Waterhouse made the Honor Roll. The musically-minded Juniors who joined the band are Norma Gordon, Carolyn Kneeland, Sheila Greene, Fred Noack, Ann Burton, Alton Miller, Larry Slade, Betty Bloomer, Janice Wood, Paul Phillips, Donald Mannett, and Priscilla Hatt. They have done a very fine job and we Juniors are justly proud of them.

The Juniors heard often in main room lending their voices to song in sup- port of the chorus are Lillian Merrill, Patricia Peterson, Hilda Hillock, Paul Caron, Marilyn Dobson, Loretta Chaisson, and Basil Boobas. There is only one Junior Majorette, Patty Anderson. Willy Leighton, Jim Bryan, Bob Tourangeau, Tom Wilson, Tom Tuttle and Philip Butterfield did a fine job in basketball, really tossed the ball through that hoop. They were cheered on to victory by the cheerleaders with Marie Hansen as the Junior Class representative. Neal Doucette was really going great in football until he unfortunately broke his leg. His teammates from the class of 'S 6 were Ted Harriman, Tom Waters, Bob Tourangeau, and Jim Bryan. The girls were not to be outdone in the field of sports. Rena Jones, Sandra Madsen, Rowena Merrill, Judy Saunders, Peggy Hebert, and Jackie Jordan helped to make basketball a success. Our class actors are Joseph Shaw and Emerson Trafton who took part in the school plays. The Juniors seen taking pictures of everything are not really camera happy but are members of the Camera Club. They are Barbara Landry, Sheila Greene, Priscilla Hatt, and Martha Merrill. The Junior Washington Club has been a great success this year with 75 members, with Donald Delisle as president, Fred Noack as vice president, Bertha Gagne as secretary, and Joseph Shaw as treasurer. Many of the members of our class participated in All Westbrook Night. One of the outstanding acts was impersonation of Liberace by Basil Boobas. Others who took part were: Marguerite Hardy, Lillian Merrill, Patricia Peterson, Ethelyne Billings, Betty Bloomer, and Martha Merrill. As Seniors our activities will more than double responsibility as the first senior class in the new high school. As our Junior year is nearing completion We look forward with expectation to our last year of high school. MARTHA MERRII,L, 'S6. PRISCILLA HATT, 'S6. Class of 1957 Well, here we are again! The same group of people who timidly approached this building last year with a few doubts and fears and who have now become full-fledged Westbrook High students. This year has brought us many new and exciting experiences. Starting off this year,s activities, we elected our class ofiicers. They were Roland Tetrault, president, Helen Cote, vice president: Ann Hebert, secretary, and David Billings, treasurer. We have a long list of honor students which we are proud to announce. Those who received these honors during the first semester were Themia Markos, Lucille Lampron, Mary Morton, Martha Pratt, Ronald Cole, Elbert Fielder, George Lambert, Sandra Peters, Janet Saucier, David Small, William Stevens, Joan Caron, Victoria Clark, and Marilyn Jensen. At the beginning of the school term we had quite a few 'S7'ers participating in the annual All Westbrook Night. One of whom we are especially proud of is Sandra Peters, who was Mistress of Ceremonies. Others in the show were Betty Gagne, Elaine Collins, Patsy Peterson, and Donna Jensen.
