e . Jen i or L ta .s.s Sixteen frightened freshmen entered Woodstock High School on September 8, 1954. They were Clinton Cushman, Phillip Davis, Geraldine Cushman, Lea- trice Fammn, Beverly Poland, Thomas Allanach, Richard Wing, Leon Poland, Peter Cox, Eleanor Cox, Nadine Waterhouse, Samuel Sumner, Kaye Ring, Mar- garet Henley, Orin Sprague, Ilerschel Reed. In a few days Robert Vallee joined us, making seventeen in the class. Herschel Reed transferred to South Paris, and later Orin Sprague and Richard Wing dropped out, leaving us with fourteen in the class. We all lived through freshman week, but were ready to pull out the seniors hair by the time the reception was over. We did very little to raise money our first year. In September, 1955 fourteen brave sophomores came back to W.H.S. But our number soon dropped to twelve, as Thomas Allanach left us to go to South Portland, and Robert Vallee joined the Army. We were glad to have Herschel Reed back from South Paris, making thirteen in the class. Our class rings caine in October. We were all pleased with them. We rais- ed money by having roller skating and dancing parties and a cowboy show. In September, 1956, twelve juniors returned to good old W.H.S. Leon Poland and Margaret Henley did not come back with us. Eleanor Cox soon left to become Mrs. John Mason, and our new member, Rita Pingree, left to work. Peter Cox transferred to Gorham, N.H., and Herschel Reed left to work in Massachusetts. In the fall Herbert Hatfield, Jr., came from South Paris to make nine in the class. We raised a considerable amount of money during our junior year. Gerald- ine Cushman and Nadine Waterhouse were high salesmen for the magazine cam- paign, thereby bringing a per centage of the proceeds to our class treasury. Our fund was further boosted by a paper drive, by selling candy, potato chips, and Italian sandwiches at school, and by a very successful cowboy show. On carni- val day we sold lunches at noon, and refreshments at the ball. We also had a junior prom at which Beverly Poland was crowned princess with Herbert Hat- field, Jr., as prince. In September, 1957, ten of us as seniors took our places in Woodstock for the last time, hardly able to believe we were seniors. The new member of our class was Gerald Smith from Gould Academy. We gave the freshmen a bad time and took out on them what we had suffered as freshmen. On September 19, we went to Portland to have our class pictures taken. We all had a wonderful day, which we will remember for a long time. On January 11, we put on our senior play, “Hobgoblin House.” The proceeds added a great deal to our class fund, and the play was a success. The seniors wish to thank Mrs. Herrick for the time and work she put into it. On February 22, the king and queen of the winter carnival were crowned, the queen being Leatrice Famuni and the king, Herbert Hatfield, Jr. We all had a wonderful time at the ball. Our thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Jordan for chaperoning. On April 19, the seniors left for New York on the class trip, with Mr. Philip Bolen and Mrs. Miriam Morgan as chaperons. We were sorry that two of the members did not go. We had enough money left from expenses to give everyone in the class a share. We all hope to graduate on June 3. We have enjoyed our four years at W.H.S. and will keep our memories of them with us always. Beverly Poland 10
