Woodstock High School - Eureka Yearbook (Bryant Pond, ME)

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We started Woodstock High School in September, 1951. We were all very shy and timid. Somehow we weathered Freshman Reception enough to promise ourselves that the Freshmen would suffer when we were Seniors. There were twenty-one, Arlene Brown, Edith Cox, Albert Cross, Maynard Cushman, Adelaide Emery, Alicia Emery, Luna Farrington, Phillip Farrington. Nada Hinckly, Clyde Knights, Lillian LaValley, Louise LaValley, William Ma son, Rex Martin, Sandra Martin, Carson Martin, Wallace Hussey, Andrea Poland, Leona Whitman, Ben Wilson, and Elizabeth York. In our Freshman year, we did hardly anything to raise money as all the upper classes did it. Before the end of the first year, we had lost Lillian LaValley (Mrs. John Hicks), Clyde Knights, Ben Wilson, Carson Martin, Edith Cox, Arlene Brown, and Wallace Hussey. In the first year the additions to our class were Beverly Cox and Jacquelyn Rich. We ended our Freshman year with fourteen. In our Sophomore year, we put more emphasis on money-making by putting on square dances. Only one dropped out of the class in our second year, that be- ing Elizabeth York. Thirteen entered in September, 1953, to our Junior Class. We put on food sales, square dances and various parties to earn money for our class trip. How- ever, one black thing to look forward to was prize speaking. After weeks of prac- ticing, we finally mastered our speeches and presented them, with shaking knees. Two Junior girls helped put on the Senior play, Sandra Martin anti Jackie Rich. We were very sorry to lose Jackie Rich at the end of our Junior year. She mar ried an old classmate, Clyde Knights. Also, much to everyone's disappointment Adelaide and Alicia Emery moved to Massachusetts. We not only lost two great leaders in Woodstock High School, but two good athletes. In the fall of 1954, ten jubilant students entered the walls of Woodstock. We could hardly believe that we were at last Seniors. We did not give the Freshmen a “hard time” as we had sworn we would. It was more work for us than the Freshmen. In October, we went to Portland to have our graduation pictures taken. None ol us enjoyed the sittings, but we did like the trip. In December, we put on our Senior Play “If Mother Only Knew”. This added more money to our precious bank. On March 5th, the Carnival King and Queen were crowned. The queen was Sandra Martin and the King, Phillip Farrington. We all had a lovely time at the Ball. On April 17th, five boys and two girls started for New York with their cha- perones, Lucy Andrews and Howard MacKillop. We were sorry that all the girls did not want to go to New York with us. We have enjoyed all four years in high school, and we will have many pleas ant memories of W. H. S. forever. 12
