14 VVINTHROP WINNER FRESHMEN The Freshmen were very surprised when a Sophomore came to the front of the Main Room and told us that we must wear a carrot around our neck, wear shoes that did not match, wear a ribbon on our head and the boys had to wear their pants legs rolled up to their knees. At the end of the week the Sophomores took the Freshmen on a hare and hound chase. A one-act play was given under the direction of Miss Blanchard, our class adviser. Those students taking part were Roland Drapeau, Dorothy Taylor, Raymond Fontaine, Dorothy Godfrey, Oliver jackson, and Natalie York. The Freshmen did very well in sports. A large number of boys and girls repre- sented the Freshman class in all sports. JUNIOR HIGH NEWS BASKETBALL - From a total of S8 in the junior High 130 boys and girls have gone out for bas- ketball this year. Eighteen boys and 11 girls were from the eighth grade and from the seventh grade 11 boys and 20 girls. Q i BASEBALL- . Twenty-one eighth grade boys held a meeting April fifth to plan for baseball. At the meeting it was decided to get a cage for the catcher which is the only thing needed this season. Mr. Ingalls has offered to coach the team two or three times a week. The baseball dia- mond is at our disposal any time when the High School team is not using it and the Grammar School diamond any other time.

XVINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 13 Early in the year the one-act play of our class was presented, What Price America H. Those taking part in it vvere Pollyanna Sanborn, James Hinds Qvvas chosen as the best actor in this playj, Robert Boutin, Floyd Smith and Betty Shute. A hiking party was held for the Soph- omores in February. We started from Vlfinthrop and hiked to Readheld to Mrs. NVhittier's home. Some pupils skated up on the lake and others rode up but some were still faithful to the idea of hiking and Walked up. Arriving, at the point of exhaustion, we fell upon the sand- wiches we had supplied ourselves with and hot chocolate made under the direc- tion of Mrs. NVhittier. That which was not imbibed was spilled on the floor but we held a mopping crusade and did our best to clean up. Afterwards we rode down in Lester Masonis new deluxe Rolls Royce. Everybody enjoyed him- self very much. The initiation of the Freshmen was held the first of the year. For one week Freshmen arrived at school with various regalias but the Sophomores relented and on the last day gave them a big feed on the shore of Annabesacook. The Sophomore class has been well represented in the various activities of the school and hope to be so next year as a junior class.
