when he hit Miss Wakefield’s heart. Several changes were made before we settled down with Miss Bocquel. During our junior year we were suddenly made aware of the existence of the Pine Tree State by the frequent expostulations on this section of the coun¬ try by Betty Densmore. We suffered this year with Career Books, Public Speaking, Radio Sketches, and the Sears Essay—all under the expert supervision of Mr. Zorn. Lois Lam- mers came to suffer with us, and Lois Colieary left. Because of the war and the gas shortage, our musical talents and dramatic ability were successfully combined in the form of Priorities of Weston High.” Oh those spiders! They were horrible, but the show wasn’t! This year we carried the seniors off to Paradise at the Junior Prom. The hall was decorated with cupids and angels, and a fluffy white cloud with several angels sitting on it hung from the center. Helen Coburn, dressed all in white, was chosen as queen. Her court included Joanne Brouillette, Marjorie Per¬ kins, Corinne Crehan, Peggy Lee Hill, Lois Lammers, and Carolyn Robinson. Nancy Cummings made a very sweet flower girl as she carried the floral crown which was presented to Helen by Douglas Schofield, the president of the Sen¬ ior class. During our senior year, Charles Briggs was sent as our representative to the Junior Town Meeting of the Air,” where he did a splendid job discussing Selling Democracy to the World.” Shall we ever forget some of the class periods with Harold often dozing, the knitting club clicking industriously, Martha doing her trig and at the same time carrying on an animated note conversation with Madeleine and Mary Horne? George was usually actively and inexhaustibly tickling the girls or pulling chairs around. We can’t forget the hot but usually short arguments of Briggs, Clapp, and Foster. And do you remember the time Charlie Foster was locked in a room and had to be hauled through the window by Charlie Briggs? But these gayer memories were shaken by the erupting volcano, war, which has caused a minor crater to appear in our class enrollment. Six of our members left us in the junior year: James Hanney, Craig Clive, Joseph Shee¬ han, Philip Sheehan, and Richard Malloy for the Army, and Stephen Ellis for the Navy. In January, 1944, Leonard Upham left for the Air Corps. We take great pride in these members of our class. History, Carlyle said, is made up of the biographies of all of the great men; and so it is with our class history. Each individual member has con¬ tributed his share to our class history. 11
