About the second week of school we elected the following class officers: Presi dent, Edward Henry; Vice-President, Catherine Shoeships; Secretary- Treasurer, Helen Hilliare; Sergeant- at-Arms, Henry Trahan. School opened Sept. 13 and we had an enrollment of 24. Ten more came within the next few months, which made it 34. About Feb. 1 our enroll ment dropped to 28, which finished out the year. Friday, Oct. 8th, was Freshman Initiation Day. We dressed the girls up in short skirts and bloomers, shoes of different mates and hair fixed in ten braids. They wore no facial make-up. The boys were dressed in pajama shirts, pants inside out and backward, shoes on opposite feet. They washed their hair the night be fore and were not allowed to comb it before school the next morning. They had on lip-stick, powder, and eye-brow pencil. Each carried an onion and rode a broom-stick. We had a good representation in sports, too. Haskell Hood, Reggie Wells in football, basketball and baseball. Edward Henry in football, and Robert Davis in baseball. This year we studied English, Math and Social Science. We en joyed our Math even though it did take us several days to solve some problems. We learned a lot about income tax with Mr. Johannaber ex plaining it all to us. On the last day of December, we gave Mr. Johannaber a birthday sur prise party as it was his birthday on January 1st. Larry Arthur sang a solo, also Catherine Albert, while Mary Davis and Jean Pichette sang a duet. At Chemawa's 69th birthday party many of the Sophomore girls took part in the Indian dances. Some of our boys have stock pro jects of which they take care them 11 selves and later sell. In our class we have farmers, carpenters, shoe makers, bakers, electricians, paint ers and mechanics. The girls in Phys. Ed. this year had a lot of fun. During this same period the boys took a special shop course. Our Educational Trip this year in cluded the Forestry Building, Paper Mill and Linen Mill, all in Salem. Besides enjoying the trip, we learned a lot at all of these places. In February we gave our class pro gram for all the employees and stu dents. It was centered around George Washington's birthday, in whose honor we gave a one-act play called "A Date with George Washington." The cast was composed of Larry Ar thur (father), Tallulah Tulle (mother), Mary Davis (daughter), Horace Iron- pipe (son), and Robert Davis (new boy. We had a few group songs di rected by Mrs. Johannaber, a comedy skit by Jean Pichette, Eleanor Char ley, Reggie Wells, Michael Pelletier, Ray Pete and Henry Trahan.
