SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1952, 19 shy and timid freshmen entered Woodstock High School. They were: Evelyn Bean, Elwin Cole, Shirley Crockett, Robert Davis, Dana Dudley, Howard Emery, Peggy Oralium, Annette Hilton, Fretla 11 inkley, Charles Johnson, Gloria Johnson, Leona LaValley, Colby Martin, Gary Rainey, Albert Roberts, Bill Seames, Benjamin Wilson, James Whynaught, and Herbert Whitman. We didn’t do much to earn money the first year as the other ( lasses just seemed to be one jump ahead of us. We managed to survive Freshman Recep- tion although the going looked pretty rough at times. At the end »l our first year we had lost two members of our class, Albert Roberts and Ben Wilson. At the beginning of our sophomore year there were five who did not return: Elwin Cole, Dana Dudley, who transferred to Fryelnirg Academy, Freda Hink- lev, Gary Rainey, and James Whynaught, who transferred to Gould Academy. We did more this year to raise money to add to our bank account. Twelve entered our Junior Class in 1954, as Annette Hilton did not return, and Bill Seames left during the fall term. We had Food Sales, Roller Skating Parties, and various other activities to raise money lor our class trip. Of course, as the custom goes, we were told we must take prize speaking this year. After weeks of studying we finally presented the program in the school assembly with some winning awards. One of the Juniors, Evelyn Bean, helped the Seniors with their class play. Howard Emery was not with us during this year as he transferred to Brighton High School in Massachusetts. We did have two additions this year, John Chase came to us from Gould Academy around Christmas time, and Walter Emery came for part of the year. In the fall of 1955, twelve happy students entered the halls of Woodstock for the last year, hardly believing that we were finally Seniors. As we remem- bered when we were freshmen, we didn’t go too rough on the freshmen at the reception. In October we journeyed to Portland to have our class pictures taken. It was very hot in the studio but we had a nice time. On December 2 and 3 we presented our class play, “The Absent Minded Professor , which was a big hit and added quite a lot to our account. On February 10th and 11th the Winter Carnival was held. Gloria Johnson was Queen and Charles Johnson was crowned King. On April 15 the Seniors will leave for New York on their class trip. This year’s chaperones are Howard MacKillop and Bessie Martin. We have enjoyed our four years at Woodstock High School and shall always remember good old W. FI. S. 12
