Some of us have already begun thinking about college. Those who are doing especially well scholastically are Kathryn Anderson, Theresa Barr, Elisabeth Brackett, Jacqueline Cairns, Wayne Carter, Janice Christensen, Jeffrey Christen- sen, Donna Cousens, Rose DiRenzo, Patricia Doucette, Gerard Francoeur, Jeanne Gailey, Cynthia Herring, Carol McKinley, Jeffrey Milliken, Kathleen Morabito, and Linda Plummer. The Freshmen who showed interest and talent in instruments, dancing, speaking, or some other art entertained at Freshman Reception. They were Elisabeth Brackett, piano solo, Rose DiRenzo, tap dance, Brenda Faye, baton solo, Jeanne Gailey, a reading, Sharon Meehan, vocal solo, Joan Murphy, vocal solo, and Norman Ritz, accordion solo. We were also proud of our president, Donna Skillings, who received the official greeting from the Senior class presi- dent, Gene Waters. Some of us felt we had some singing ability, at least enough to be active in the Glee Club. Kathryn Anderson, Judith Barbour, Jackie Cairns, Janice Christensen, Donna Cousens, Shirley Davis, John Early, Susan Farley, Pat Hebert, Judith Kimball, Phil LeClerc, Delilia Leber, Judy Leighton, Robert Levesque, Judy Locke, Frances MacDonald, Dianne Mazerall, Carolyn Morse, Joan Murphy, Susan Porter, Carolyn Preston, and Linda Tapley are all active in it. The Fresh- man boys in the Glee Club help to make up the Barbershop Quartet which rehearses just before Glee Club. The Freshmen who could play instruments were urged to join the band. Those who donned new band uniforms this year were Janice Burke, Donna Cousens, William Ingraham, Robert Levesque, Carol Lovejoy, and Joyce Sarty. One of the biggest events at Westbrook High School is All Westbrook Night. Some of the Freshmen showed active interest in this and tried out. The Freshmen who participated were Elisabeth Brackett, John Chamard, Jeanne Gailey, Sharon Meehan, Jean Minervino, and Norman Ritz. When Mr. Brooks called for anyone with acting ability to come and try out for the school play, he must have been surprised when quite a few members of our class responded. Of a cast of nineteen, five Freshmen were chosen for the parts that best suited them. The five chosen were Elisabeth Brackett, Donna Cousens, Jeanne Gailey, Richard Guevin, and Patricia Hebert. Even the football team had Freshmen on it. Those who did very well were Maurice Ferren, Richard Rowe, Kenneth Secord, and Lester Wormell. When the basketball season started, Freshman boys, both tall and short, appeared on the court. Among them Paul Andrews, Jeff Christensen, Vernon Desjardins, James Devlin, Paul Foster, Gerard Francoeur, Manley Harriman, Jeff Milliken, Louis Milton, and Richard Rowe made the Freshman team. Freshman girls entered basketball wholeheartedly. Those who made the Freshman team were Judith Ames, Janice Christensen, Shirley Davis, Patricia Hebert, Darlene Lefebvre, Dianne Mazerall, and Susan Porter. Donna Cousens really surprised us when she made the Junior Varsity. The majorettes needed more girls this year so Rose DiRenzo and Brenda Faye joined the team. With the mark in activities the Freshman class has already made, it is sure to be recognized in the following years as it continues its good beginning in citizenship, sportsmanship, and scholarship. The only thing the class is not look- ing forward to continuing is that of being the youngest, two years in a row. SUSAN PORTER, 'S8.

There are quite a few Sophomores participating in the sports department this year. Those who made the football team were Mr. Bogdanovich's future stars- Lubert Lestage, Robbie Wormell, Bob Jensen, Jim Swett, Philip Lestage, Donald Chamard, and Lawrence Presby. Few saw much more than limited duty, but while they were in there, they were fighting and doing their best for us all the time. In the winter sport fbasketballj our class offered three good reserves f Robbie Wormell, Jim Swett, and Phil Lestagej , plus our regular starter Johnny Bragdon, who completed his second year cf varsity basketball. The girls this year are doing a wonderful job cheerleading and building up tlfe morale of the team. Here we have our three repeaters fAnne Wormell, Martha Pratt and Mary Fosterj , plus the new addition of Patsy Peterson. Doing a swell job in basketball. we are proud to say, is our Sophomore class- mate, Rachel St. Pierre. At present Rachel holds the record of forty-four points scored in any one basketball game for the girls' varsity squad. The V. squad of girls' basketball could be called a Sophomore team. The forwards are Ann Hebert, Victoria Clark and Marilyn Jensen, supported by Janet Saucier, Pat Burton and Regina Hayer, who are holding down guard posi- tions. These six girls were the successful Freshman team last year which advanced to J. V. this year as a whole. Their record stands at ten wins and two losses. All in all, we, the Sophomore Class editors of 1955, think our boys and girls have done a wonderful job and we are expecting to hear of bigger and better feats from them in the next two years at the new Westbrook High School. VICTORIA S. CLARK, 'S7. ROBERT E. JENSEN, 'S 7. ANNE L. WORMELL, 'S7. The Freshman Class For the first time in the history of Westbrook High School a girl has been elected class president.
