By the shores of Mousam River.
By the roaring mill-owned water.
Stands the brick-built Sanford High School.
Stands our sturdy alma mater.
From within its stony portals
Echoes loud the students’ chatter,
Calling hack to us now wandering
Days when we raised learned clatter.
Clamored we for knowledge offered
By our patient teaching forces;
Clamored—and forgot so quickly,
Suffering then no grave remorses.
Learned we language—French and Latin;
Math (with help of someone’s brother).
Learned we history—world and ancient—
In one ear and out the other.
Yet. while waxing philosophic,
We’ll think backward with a sigh
To the days when we were paddling
Up life’s creek at Sanford High.

Producing a yearbook demands the services of
many more |>eople than just those on the official
staff. 'Phis book is no exception to the general
rule.
Through the cooperation of Mr. Page and the
faculty, time was made available during school
hours for securing pictures, obtaining advertise-
ments, and transacting other important Distaff
business. Class and club advisers gave ready as-
sistance in preparing reports on the activities of
their organizations. Pictures for the book were
obtained not only from our official photographer,
but also from such sources as The Sanford Tri-
bune, Robert Creteau, Raymond Nadeau, and
through the work of Roger Moineau, president of
the Camera Club. Freshmen, Sophomores, and
Juniors prepared their own class pages; several
of the girls in the commercial department con-
tributed their time to the typing of copy. With-
out the careful work of the printer. Mr. Adler,
all hours spent by staff and helpers would have
been for nought.
To all these people to whom we have referred
and to any others who have helped us in the pro-
duction of this book, we extend our peace pipe
and invite them to a seat of honor by our mythical
campfire.

Dedication
WALTER E. NUTTER
We respectfully dedicate this book to the memory of Mr.
W alter E. Nutter, a truly great friend of our class. His un-
bounded devotion to our football team won him a permanent
place in our hearts. “Uncle Walt”, as he was affectionately
known by team and student alike, never missed a game. He
could always be found sitting on the bench with the players.
passing out his seemingly inexhaustible supply of chewing
gum and words of encouragement for his boys. We didn’t
see “Uncle Walt" on the bench this season—but we knew he
was there. His spirit will always be present in our memory
and in our hearts.

The ^WlEmcniaJ (Ptattyenfc
The school year 1047-1048 started with a bang for a group of Sanford grammar ami high
school faculty- and for the Memorial Gym drive. At the suggestion of Supt. Robert McCarn,
Miss Vallely cast the faculty in the roles of characters in the famous Lindsay and Crouse
production of “Arsenic and Old Lace" and presented the play Nov. 24 and 25 in the Sanford
Town Hall to capacity audiences. The purpose of the play was to manifest the interest of
the school system in procuring a memorial gym and to arouse the public to the cause in a
dramatic way. Both of these objectives were certainly obtained and also Si.533.30 for the
gym fund.

And both Mr. Firth and Mr. Celia have plenty to survey. The band, under the able
direction of Mr Firth, has been steadily increasing in both strength and ability, a situation
which will do much to win the coveted double A rating at both the Maine and the Xew Eng-
land Music Festivals, now and in the future. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Band-
Boosters Club and an interested citizenry, new uniforms were provided for the group, alxnit
ore hundred strong. In last year's State Festival at Lewiston, and at the Xew England Fes-
tival in Portsmouth, the band (with the gold braid on the shoulder) made a lasting impres-
sion on everyone who watched its performance. The judges were impressed, too, and San-
ford was ranked as one of the best school groups in New England. At press time, with Mr.
Celia keeping an eye on the reeds ami Mr. Ramsdell smoothing out drum techniques, the
band was busily preparing for the April concert and the spring festivals.

As if a hundred piece band wasn't enough to keep him busy, Mr. Firth has organized what
almost amounts to a band within a band, the Brass Choir. This group has performed for
several local clubs and at the school play, “Our Town”.
To top off the instrumental activities at Sanford High, the rejuvenated orchestra made its
appearance tinder the baton of Mr. Firth at the faculty presentation of "Arsenic and Old
Lace”. Although practically dormant in years past, the orchestra this year is as active as the
band. Band and orchestra share the use of the Legion Home, the band rehearsing on Wed-
nesdays, and the orchestra on Mondays. We are counting on both organizations bringing
back the highest of ratings from the festivals this year.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB
The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Alcada Hall, has been organized ten
years but only this year has it become a credit activity. A girl now receives a one-quarter
point credit for each year she is in the Club. If she maintains a good record of attendance
and cooperation for three years, she may receive a letter as an award.
Every Wednesday morning this year the members went through their vocal paces, learning
the secrets of the singing voice that they might always be able to express their various moods
in song. The club participated in the ‘■Musicale", ami a portion of the club served as the
church choir in "Our Town". The outstanding activity of the year toward which each mem-
ber looked with anticipation was the Western Maine Music Festival scheduled for May.
Similar to all glee clubs participating, our girls prepared "A Shepherds Tune”, for the fes-
tival. They also prepared one selection of their own choosing for competitive purposes.

BOYS’ GLEE CH’B
The Boys' Glee Chib was organized this year after a three year lapse caused by the deple-
tion in the ranks of our singing males through war activities.
i
On Monday mornings Miss Alcada Hall gathered her singing braves together and for one
hour guided them through many a melodious song. Like their counterpart, the singing
squaws, the braves were looking toward the Western Maine Music Festival as the crowning
joy of the year’s activities. “Rain and the River" was the numlier assigned to all Boys' Glee
Clubs participating, and they were given the opportunity of singing one number of their own
choice.

The Sanford Girls' Hi-Y is made up of thirty-five responsible high-school students who
strive to carry out the Hi-Y purpose: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the
school and community high standards of Christian character.’’ \\ itli this challenging objec-
tive, it has become an active group that uses democratic methods to achieve the eml>odiment
of Christian principles in individual and group conduct. The chib is sponsored by the
V. M. C. A. in cooperation with the high-school administration and faculty.
The weekly meetings are started with a business-like dispatch of the important adminis-
trative details and proceed to the program that has been adopted in the carrying out of the
Hi-Y purpose. The four regular year-round committees are the Program, the Project, the
Social, and the Constitution Committees: other short-term committees are appointed to take
care of special projects or temporary situations.

The following projects and social programs are indicative of the ardent interest and enter-
prising character of the members of these committees: the partial renovating of the Y’<
Junior Lounge, the making and distributing of sandwiches to fire-fighters, the carving of
Kochina dolls, an address on the nursing career, a covered-dish supper, a Christmas party
with exchange of gifts, and a New Year's Eve Ball.
These activities, as well as others, have helped to create the atmosphere of ease, cooperation,
and good-fellowship, so indispensable in a group whose chief objective is to prepare indi-
viduals for citizenship and active participation in community life.
The Boys’ Hi-Y has been one of the most
popular clubs in Sanford High since its reor-
ganization in 1046 under the direction of Leon
Van Hensen. The weekly meeting is kept in-
teresting with its mixture of business and en-
tertainment, the latter consisting of movies
and games, varied sufficiently to prevent mo-
notony. Plans for several useful projects such
as the refurbishing of the Junior Game Room
and contributing toward the purchase of a
movie projector have been developed.
One of the year's highlights was the Ping-
Pong battle with the Portland Hi-Y. Our ex-
perts, through their superb paddling technique,
“scalped" the Portland team 14-1.

So great was the enthusiasm of Sanford High girls for the Hi-Y organization that a
second club had to |:c formed to accommodate all the applicants for membership.
This second group, identical with the Hi-Y in purpose and organization, was named the
Tri-Hi-Y, with Dot and Nat Milligan serving as advisers. \ few girls from St. Ignatius also
joined this club, Rita Ross of that school serving as vice-president. Meetings were held
every Tuesday night in the Rainbow Room at the Y. M. C. A.
Of the many interesting parties held, the girls shall long remember the Splash Party held
in the Portland Y. M. C, A. swimming pool.
The chief project under consideration for the year was how they best could aid the other
Hi Y Clubs in redecorating the rooms at the Y.

AREMAC CLUB
The Areniac Chib of ’48 was one of the most active organizations in Sanford High.
For officers we elected: Roger Moineau, president; Virginia Duplisea, secretary; Ted
Pilon, treasurer.
At the beginning of the year, our work consisted of taking pictures in the simplest form
with the pinhole camera. Working up gradually, we have learned to take trick ami glamour
poses.
Social activities for the year have been determined by the season. Dancing, skating par-
ties, picnics, hikes, and suppers have been enjoyed by all.
Sanford High extended an invitation to all St. Ignatius students who were interested to
join the club.
The adviser for the club was Bob Creteau of the Lemire Studio.

THE SPORTSMEN’S CLUB
This club of approximately 60 active members organized at the beginning of the school
year has as its prime objectives safety, conservation of fish and game, ami recreation. To
date, the objectives have been achieved principally through moving pictures shown at the
club meetings, and through lectures by the adviser. An ice-fishing derby was sponsored
February 8. It was well-patronized with the following boys taking prizes: Lawrence Allen
first fish and greatest gross weight; largest fish—Gordon Webber.
With the arrival of more suitable weather a crow hunt will be staged as a conservation
measure. A ritle team is also planned, and shooting matches with other schools will be
scheduled if proper facilities can be found. The shotgun artists will have a chance at skeet,
and open water fishing will round out an interesting schedule of events.

STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council of Sanford High School serves as a medium between the faculty and
the student body. Its purpose is to stimulate and develop a healthy school spirit, to provide
a means for student participation in the school government, and to promote the general
welfare of our school.
This year the Student Council had charge of Freshman week. This activity served to in-
troduce the freshmen to the student body and to acquaint them with the practice and pro-
cedures of the school. Each freshman girl had a senior sister; each freshman boy had a
senior brother. The humorous side of the week was exhibited by the clothes ami signs the
freshmen were required to wear. A Freshman Reception at the town hall terminated the
festivities.
The Student Council again functioned by sponsoring the sale of tickets for “Arsenic ami
Old Lace", a play put on by the teachers for the benefit of the Gymnasium Fund. This pro-
ject was a huge success with the council handling over twenty-two hundred dollars.
In February a Carnival Ball was held at the town hall, at which event Theresa Cole and
Roland Nadeau were crowned Queen and King, respectively. The royal theme was carried
out by silhouettes, decorations, and programs made by Thelma Arsenault and lane Bclleau.
Some other activities include regular Wednesday meetings when various measures and
projects are discussed and planned. Visits to other schools are also on the Council’s program.

The Sanford High School Chess Club, composed of twenty members, met every Monday
and Wednesday morning during activities period tinder the direction of Mr. Schultz. Jamal
D'Garcie served as chib president.
The chib's activities comprised the playing of chess among the members and also one chess
match with Kennebunk at Sanford High School, won by Kennebunk High Schoo] by a score
of 5-4. This was the first of a two-out-of-three game senes; the second match was scheduled
to be played at Kennebunk High School in March. The boys hoped to reverse their set-back
at that time and thus bring about a final match to determine the series winner.
Negotiations were also tinder way at the time of writing for a match or series of matches
with Exeter High School.

Who isn't thrilled when the curtain goes up and the play is on? Certainly the citizens of
Sanford were when the Dramatics Classes presented Thornton W ilder’s "Our Town” in the
Sanford Town Hall, filled to capacity, February 27, 1948.
It is the touching story of everyday life in the lives of the people living in Grover’s Cor-
ners. New Hampshire, centering around the growing up and marrying of George Gibbs and
Emily Webb, the son and daughter of prominent Grover's Corners townspeople.
Much of the success of the production is attributed to Miss Marjorie Vallely, director, and
John Turcotte, her assistant.

DEBATING CLUB
In pursuance of their policy to increase the
number of curricular and co-cnrricular activi-
ties as far as is feasible, Superintendent Mc-
Carn and Principal Page recommended to the
school committee that debating be sponsored
this year at Sanford High School for the first
time in over twenty years. The request was
granted, ami Harold Gates of the social science
department was appointed as director.
The chib picked an enormous task for its
initial start in interscholastic debating by en-
tering the Bowdoin Debating League. The
Bowdoin meet is conducted on the forum plan
and only the experienced and successful de-
bating teams of the state participate. Howf-
ever, Jack Flood and Robert Poulin, repre-
senting our school, astounded everybody by re-
ceiving 268 points out of a possible 300 which
figure left them only two points out of second
place. Among the veteran teams they defeated
were Deering, Lewiston, South Portland, ami
Cheverus.
On February 21, the team participated in the
South Portland tournament, emerging with
two wins and two losses. Robert Poulin being
voted best speaker in two debates, ami lack
Flood in one. During March the team will en-
gage in the Bates League, debating the desir-
ability of compulsory arbitration in labor dis-
putes. W e hope that it can continue its earlier
successes.

The ’48 Redskins were rated by all pre-
season polls as one of the foremost power-
houses in Southern Maine. Mthough they did
not live up to all their press clippings, they
were a good team, and such men as Robbie
Savage, Bill Walker, Harold Walsh. "Red"
Richardson, lack Flood, Bob Reeves, John Jel-
lersoti, “Tucker” Gerry, Dick Hartley, Al Pla-
mondon, “Spooks" Mitchell, and Dick McKeon
will be sorely missed from the gridiron next
fall. Yes, the ’48 Redskins are gone but not
forgotten.
Braintree 6—Sanford 0
The Redskins journeyed to Mass, to be edged
by an excellent Braintree team 6 to o.
The teams see-sawed back and forth until
the third period when, thanks to a partially
blocked kick. Braintree took the ball from
Sanford’s 49 to the 26 in seven running play s
Here the Braintree quarterback reached into
his bag of tricks and pulled out a flanker play
which saw Galligan, the Braintree F. B., lat-
eral a pass to Billy Brooks, the Braintree Man
O'War. Brooks scampered 26 yards to pay
dirt. The conversion was wide.
The Sanford juggernaut started rolling in
the fourth period and rolled 64 yards to the
Braintree 12 before the time ran out.
St. Louis 7 Sanford 6
Sanford High was nosed out by St. Louis
in an evenly matched night game.
Late in the second period, Bob Cote, St.

Louis fullback, ran back a Savage punt to the
Sanford 34. With their ground attack run-
ning smoothly, St. Louis scored when Cote
broke over tackle for six yards, and the T. D.
Cote passed to Lauzon for the extra point.
The Redskins scored when Walker recovered
a fumble on the St. Louis 36. On the first play
1 )emers passed to Flood who scampered to the
one yard line. Savage bulled over the score.
The attempt at the extra point failed, thus
saving the game for St. Louis.
Sanford 12—Kennebunk o
The Redskins tasted their first victory at the
expense of Kennebunk.
Taking the ball on their 45, the Redskins,
with Savage spear-heading the drive, went
the distance in three plays. W alker's conver-
sion was blocked.
Shortly after, Sanford started another T. I).
drive marching 85 yards to pay dirt a Savage
to Demers pass, a Gerry to McKeon pass, and
then Savage tearing over for the score; again
the conversion was blocked and the score 12-0.
From here on in, it was a different story;
the inspired underdog Kennebunk eleven
fought like wild cats and kept Sanford away
from the promised land.
Sanford 39—St. Ignatius o
Sanford ran rough-shod over a game but
out classed St Ignatius team. W ith Sanford’s
line smothering the Saints’ attack the Red-
skins powered their way 75 yards, with Sav-
age sneaking over from the 3 yard line for
the first T. I>. After drives of much the same
fashion, Jefferson went over from the 8 for
T. I), number two, and Savage ran the end
for the third.
As the third period opened. Savage inter-
cepted a St. Ignatius pass and, four plays
later, leaped across for the score.
On the last play of the third quarter, Walker
broke through to block a fourth down punt
which Jacques of St. Ignatius recovered on his
own fourteen. Savage scored his fourth T. D.
from there.
A nice punt return by Sevigney set up the
final score from the 24 yard line. Gerry rifled
a pass to Plamondon, who was brought down

ou the seven. Plamondon bulled over for the
touchdown.
St. Ignatius never got started and wound up
with a minus 2 yards rushing from scrimmage.
Thornton 13 Sanford 12
Our rampaging Redskins dropped another
close one to Thornton Academy at Saco.
In the first period Thornton drove 81 yards
to a touchdown with Abe Pendleton finally
going over. The extra point was missed. In
the second period, the Sacoites scored again
on a long pass from Huot to Harvey. This
time the conversion was good.
From the following kickoff on, the game
was all Sanford. Although unable to score un-
til the last quarter, Sanford ripped gaping
holes in the opponent’s line. Finally Savage
faked a pass and ran 36 yards to score. The
try for the extra ]>oint failed. Later in the
period Savage, behind superlative blocking,
returned a punt from his own 2 to the Thorn-
ton 46. From there Sweeney crashed through
to the 31. Sweeney added 7 more straight
through the middle, and Savage swept left
end for the T. D. But the all important try
for the extra point failed.
Sanford 27—Somersworth o
With Bob Savage sparking the attack be-
hind a fast charging line. Sanford smothered
Somersworth 27-0.
In the first period, after exchanging fumbles,
Sanford took possession on its own 49. Two
plays later Savage broke over left tackle, cut
back toward the middle liehind good blocking,
and raced for the score.
The Redskins added 12 points in the second
period. The first tally came as a result of
Savage's 34 yard sprint climaxing a 63 yard
drive; the second tally was registered by
Sweeney, ending another long march.
The final touchdown came as the result of a
beautiful 20 yard run by Demers, followed by
a Demers to Matthews pass for the score.

BETWEEN THE HALVES
MIXED EMOTIONS AS COACH REPAIRS
DAMAGES
Biddeford 19—Sanford o
It was Biddeford's Joe Cartier's passes that
spelled the difference between Biddeford and
Sanford. The difference was 19 points.
The game was barely underway when Savage
bounced around right end for a first down.
However, in the next play Sanford fumbled
and Biddeford recovered. Such was the story
all afternoon. Fumbles and bad passes kept
our Redskins behind the eight ball, but al the
same time Sanford’s frontier was doing a great
job stopping Biddeford's powerful running
attack. The Tigers were held for 43 yards on
the ground.
Finally after both lines had fought almost
to a standstill, Biddeford started to pass, and
what passing it was! All three Biddeford tal-
lies were set up and scored through the air.
We shall all long remember this as one of
the great line battles in Southwestern Maine
High School football.
The last game of the season, scheduled with
Deering for November 15, was canceled due
to the accidental death of Raymond Costello,
on Novemlier 9, when at work in the Goodall
Sanford Mills. Ray, regular right tackle, had
played each game with determination to carry
out his assignments faithfully. Although out-
weighed by many of his opponents, neverthe-
less he held his own at all times.

Nineteen Forty-eight proved to l>e a good
season for our illustrious Orphans. Taking
everything into consideration—lack of a suit-
able practice surface, no home court, and con-
tinual traveling the team was indeed excel-
lent. The teain piled “6o points to the oppo-
sitions’ 694.
Starting off with a bang, the Orphans in-
vaded Kennebunk and literally tore them apart,
the final score reading 50-28. The next victim
was rival St. Ignatius. W ith Bill Nadeau and
Dick McKeon leading the attack. Sanford
emerged on top 38-28. But the best games were
yet to come.
In late December Sanford invaded the Bos-
ton Garden and walloped an excellent Lexing-
ton team 42-22. Since Lexington is a basket-
ball power in Massachusetts, the Boston scribes
were astonished and promptly billed Sanford
as potential Maine Champions.
Probably the two best games of the year
were with arch rival Biddeford. In the first
match, a rough and tumble affair. Biddeford
just barely managed to squeeze by with a 42-40
score. Harold W alsh stayed close by Joe Car-
tier, the Tigers' ace forward, and held him to
a mere four points while irritating him con-
siderably. Nadeau was also doing a yeoman’s
chore.
When the second match rolled around, both
teams were after each others scalp. This was
a game which will long be remembered by all
Sanford fans. Playing a typical Sanford-
Biddeford game (rough and tumble, that is)
page n
TO
the score at the half read Biddeford 29 San-
ford 23. But apparently at this point the Or-
phans became fired with determination because
from half time on there was no stopping them.
The whole team played inspired basketball and
the Orphans retired to their dressing rooms
winners by the score of 50-49.
Toward the end of the season the annual
fotd shooting contest was held in Portland.
Sanford's representative. Bill Nadeau, shoot-
ing in his usual calm, cool manner, copped the
Western Maine Championship which added
greatly to his own and Sanford High School’s
prestige.
W'e were somewhat disappointed that our
team was not granted a place in the Western
Maine Tournament by the Maine Principals’
Association. While we hate to show poor
sportsmanship, we wish to point out that San-
ford's record was as good as that of several
teams in the tourney, and that we had beaten
Biddeford, a team which reached the finals.
Well, such is life. W ith our new Gym being
erected perhaps the Tournament selectors will
take notice, come another year.
The Orphans face a serious IdSs this year.
Such men as Bill Nadeau, Dick McKeon, Bill
Walker, Harold Walsh, and Bob Savage will
never again don the scarlet of Sanford High.

MAHER BROTHERS COLLABORATE FOR AN OUT AT FIRST
(Batten. HAp!
Baseball has always been a major sport at Sanford High, and this year will be no exception.
In the past four years Sanford has copped the league title twice, and this year will witness
another title bid, we hope.
Coach Nunan has many veterans returning from last year's squad ami when the umpire
yells, “Play Ball”, the class of I<xi8 will be well represented by such stellar performers as:
pitchers, Ned Maher, and John Farrell; infielders, Dick McKeon, Bill Nadeau, and Bob
Savage; and outfielder, Eugene Gerrv.
THE HURDLING SAVAGE
ON THE WARPATH
Although the 1948 season has not started as
this l>ook goes to press, a potentially strong
team is expected with men such as Bill Wai
ker, Bob Savage, Arnold Dunnells. Al Pla-
mondon, Larry Sweeney, and Leo Poulin hack
from last year’s squad.
Last year marked the return of track to
Sanford High School athletic program after
its absence for nearly a score of years. Al-
though the team was not tops in the state, it
managed to obtain the highest score in several
meets.
Standouts from the class of ’48 were: Bill
Walker, ace discus thrower; Bob Savage, San-
ford’s star hurdle and dash man; Arnold Dun-
nells and Al Plamondon, standouts in the long
distance runs.

The winter season of 47-48 saw the return of S. IL S. girls’ basketball teams to inter-
scholastic competition for the first time in twenty years. This return was made possible
through the enthusiasm of our new girls' physical education instructor. Miss Dorothy Boulos,
who found it possible to work out a schedule whereby some basketball court, either at the
Springvale Town Hall or Unitarian Church was available to the girls for practice at least
three afternoons a week.
Twenty-five girls responded to the call for candidates. Only two had any previous ex-
perience—Joanne Page, who had played one year for Kennebunk, and Joati Kallis, for \lfred.
Despite their greenness, the Sanford sextets were victorious in five of their games, defeat-
ing Alfred and Kennebunk varsity squads ami Thornton and Wells sub-varsity squads.
Forwards playing for the varsity were: Joanne Page. Constance Gauthier. Gloria \ ilan-
dry and Gloria Cote. Guards who showed powerful defense were: Barbara Kingsbury. June
Brook, Beatrice Wilson, and Laura Downs.
The sub-varsity’s promising forwards were: Patricia Patch, Constance Dart. Nancy Ker-
rigan, Lois Ann McCarn. Jane Belleau, Melba Harrison, and Joan Kallis. Guards were:
Marjory Jellerson, Marion Stewart, Carolyn Stevens, Lorraine Ruel, Jeanette Quigg. Shirley
Morrow. Carolyn Lamb. Patricia Roussin, and Lois Mitchell. Melba Harrison was high
scoring forward on the sub-varsity team.
Virginia St. Cyr and Eleanor Stritch aided the team as co-managers, and were assisted by-
Virginia Hersom as scorekeeper and timer.
True to the Redskin tradition, the girls chose scarlet uniforms, and in their first year
earned the noble title given their fellow athletes—“Redskins.’’

Energetic is the word that describes the school’s ten repsters attired in their bright red
uniforms. Their job was not only to create school spirit at the Sanford High School Athletic
contests, but to plan rallies l>efore each game to spur the boys on to victon. They accom-
panied the boys "on the road” as well as at games on home field and court. Another project
the cheerleaders undertook was to decorate the school before each game with bright and
catchy signs.

THE G A. A.
The purpose of this club is to bring together, acquaint, and organize the girls of Sanford
High. Girls’ Athletic Association includes all girls who take or have taken physical educa-
tion during high school. The club was organized four years ago in accordance with the state
program by Miss Margaret Wood, the physical education teacher. At the beginning of each
year the chib chooses its officers, preferably from the senior girls.
During the year the girls sign up for participation in these various activities: hiking, bik-
ing, volley ball, basketball, bowling, golf, softball, an 1 tennis. Points are granted according
to the extent each girl participates, maximum score for each activity being ten. Additional
points may be secured if a girl possesses a dental certificate or life saving badge, or has
worked as a councilor at a summer camp. For fifty points the G. A. A. emblem is given.
(■'or one hundred points the school letter, distinguishable from the boys’ since it is white on
red, is granted. For one hundred and fifty points the State of Maine letter is awarded. This
is a white M with a green pine tree. Two hundred points plus the approval of the school
faculty brings the much coveted state pin. This is a signal honor as very few girls in the
state have secured such a pin.
With the construction of a big tepee (gym) the G. A. A. expects to have even a greater
variety of sports to offer so that each girl w ill certainly find something to her liking, ami we
shall have some attaining top honors, the state pin.
The Winter Carnival Bazaar, a success in every way, was the big G. A. A. project of the
year.

in the fall of 1947 a group of boys and girls entered the foreboding halls of Sanford High.
These were the freshmen. The school in their eyes was a place with untold horrors lurking
at every corner. However, as all things change, Sanford High changed in the eyes of the
freshmen. The halls were no longer torture chambers but became places for friendly chatter
on the way to classes.
Freshman week was a hilarious one for all concerned. Boys appeared in girl's clothes.
and girls in boy’s clothes. All wore large signs bearing essential information for the upper
classmen. As the concluding feature of Freshman Week, the Seniors honored them with a
reception at which they and their parents were introduced to the faculty.
The courses soon became easier as the freshmen settled down to the business of studying.
By the second ranking period, many freshman names appeared on the Honor Roll.
The freshman class had a basketball team under Coach Alvino, the first in many years.
Fifteen boys made up the squad, many of whom had played very little basketball. A schedule
of 15 games was planned with such strong opponents as Deering, So. Portland, Kennebunk,
Thornton, Spaulding, and a few others, including the Sophomore team. After losing the first
3 games the Frosh won 11 out of the next 12 games, winning the last 8 games in a row .
The freshmen helped wholeheartedly in every campaign of the year, doing their part to
make each a success. By their spirited participation in all school activities, they have shown
that they really like Sanford High—and by their achievements they have proved they were
not so green after all!

The juniors started the year oil a little slowly, as they were the last class t<> get their
officers elected, hut once they got started no class could keep up with them. Officers elected
at the first meeting were: Larry Sweeney, president; Raymond Carignan, vice president;
Jeanne Marquis, secretary; and lune Brook, treasurer. Ralph Travis and Robert Sevigney
were elected to represent the junior class on the Student Council.
A baby show featured the annual junior social held Friday evening January twenty-third
in the Sanford Town Hall. (Next year maybe it'll he in the gym). Twelve junior boys were
dressed as babies and rode around the stage with tricycles and kiddie cars, tried to get out
of their playpen, or gurgled effectively into the mike. The little darlings were played by:
Raymond Carignan, Andre Chabot, Larry Sweeney, Carleton Pickett, Earle Murray, (Jordon
W ehber, Elmer Bennett, Ralph Travis, George Verville, Frederick Hutchins, Robert Sevig-
ney', and Paul Grondin; Connie Richardson was the nurse, while Richard Beals as the town
butcher, and Donald Stritch as a little old lady, were the judges. A chorus composed of
Irene W alsh, Shirley Bourque. Esther Sawyer, Barbara England, and Lois Ann McCarn sang
‘‘Playmates". Irene Libby sang “Hush-A-Bye Island" as a solo. David Field was master of
ceremonies for the howling performance.
When Winter Carnival time rolled around the junior nominees for the queen's attendant
were June Brook, Thelma Burbank, Patricia Gallant. Marian McComb, and Shirley Morrow.
The lucky one chosen was Thelma Burbank.
Shirley Morrow was the junior class candidate for queen of the Bauneg Beg Carnival
Ball which benefited the gym fund. Others nominated for this honor were Shirley Bourque,
Thelma Burbank, and Betty Carpenter.
Throughout the year the class was helped many times by their able and energetic advisers.

The gates of the Sanford High reservation
swung open to our happy hut bewildered band
of young squaws and braves in September of
1044. Although we had had the chance to in-
spect our wigwam the previous June on sub-
freshman dav, we were still a badlv confused
tribe.
The first glimpse we had of the closely knit
social life of the well-established tribe to which
we had been admitted was at the freshman-
senior party where we were assigned to the
mighty seniors who would steep us in the lore
of our new home. This, we soon discovered.
was simply the preliminary to the Freshman
Reception which was held September 29 in, of
all places, the American Legion Home. Those
who were there long enough witnessed the of-
ficial welcome extended by the senior president
to our youthful chieftain, Jack Rodgers.
Other warriors who led our class this mem-
orable year were Jack Flood, vice-president;
Robert Mitchell, treasurer; and Mary Eliza-
beth Pickles, who kept the class records on
birch bark. To the tribal council that year, we
elected Lillian Grant and Jack Darvill. Their
term of service extended through all sixteen
seasons we spent with the tribe. The might.'.
medicine man and woman who guided our
class through our first year on the reservation
were Mr. Allen and Miss Folsom.
Our newly-admitted group lost no time in
making its importance to the reservation felt.
To the First Annual Winter Carnival we sent
that popular maiden, Margary Shoesmith, as
our attendant to the senior queen. \s a climax
to the winter season, a group of braves from
our class defeated the oh-so-powerful senior
“Meatballs” in a nip and tuck basketball match,
19 to 12. The frosh repeated this feat twice
more in later meetings with the seniors. Al-
ready the potential greatness of our class was
beginning to make itself felt through the ef-
forts of Jack Flood, Harold W alsh, Fred Lib-
by, Clifford W ormword. Roland Nadeau. Rob-
ert Poulin. Gordon Wilson, and Edward
Hardy, who made up our team.

As further evidence of the possibilities hid-
den in our class, Jane Rupp and Robley Wil-
son were listed on the annual "A" honor roll.
Another of our illustrious braves, Everett
Firth, Jr., soloed over a New England radio
station on his marimba. Before the year closed,
the retiring Red and ll'hite staff announced
the editorial board for the following year.
Members of our part of the tribe who climbed
upward were Lillian Grant, business manager;
Robley Wilson, Boys’ Athletic Editor; and
Mary E. Pickles, Girls’ Athletic Editor.
On May 21, the biggest noise of the year
burst forth upon a startled and delighted au-
dience when "Hades on the Loose," a spec-
tacular extravaganza of everything imaginable,
was presented at the usually sedate Town Hall.
Besides the evening's varied and stellar enter-
tainment. the freshmen “Slush Pumps" made
their orchestral debut. Nothing like it has been
seen since in Sanford.
Our sophomore year was indicative of the
heights to which our class could rise. Our ad-
visers were Miss Sam ways and Mr. Casavant.
Our officers were Jack Darvill, president; Jane
Rupp, vice-president; Ned Maher, secretary;
and “Vic” Firth, keeper of the wampum. Stu-
dent Councilors elected at that time were Mary
E. Pickles, Margary Shoesmith, and Robley
Wilson.
The social season on the reservation ojiened
with the council-sponsored "Harvest Hop",
which featured the Trojan Orchestra, beaded
by "J. D." and “Vic”, two of our class's most
promising musicians.
During American Education Week, a one-
act play was cast entirely from the Class of
’48. Patricia Turner, Robley Wilson, Jack
Flood, Jane Rupp, Lillian Grant. Mary E.
Pickles. Margary Shoesmith, and Ned Maher
were part of this pow-wow. At the Second
Annual Winter Carnival, Beatrice Roy was one
of the queen's attendants. As a prelude to the
carnival, the three act play "What a Life" was
presented under the direction of Miss Woods.
Tribal actors for that play were Jack Flood,
Joyce MacFarland, Mary E. Pickles. Robley
W ilson, and Jane Rupp.
On stage in March was presented the one-
act play “No Greater Love". This effort was
presented for the annual one-act play contest
with other Maine reservations Jack Flood
and Joyce MacFarland were in the cast from
our band. As a climax to the sophomores’
part in the social season, the play "Spur of the
Moment" was presented at the Sophomore So-
cial. The less said, the better.
At the end of our trail as sophomores, a
shakeup occurred in the local educational sys-
tem as Mr. Hayward, principal chief of the
confederation of tribes, packed up his blankets.
squaw, and papooses and trekked overland to
Fitchburg and a new position. Mr. Turner.
Great White Father of the whole system, mi-
grated to Bowdoin College, and Mrs. Reando,
school secretary, moved to Nasson College.
Our junior year began under the leadership
of Mr. Page, who left the Kennebunk tribe to
be our chief. Officers that year were: William
Walker, president: Louis Marquis, vice-presi-
dent: Theresa Cole, secretary £ ami Lillian
Grant, treasurer. Our advisers were Mr.
Clarke, Mrs. Clarke, and Miss Tondreau. As
juniors, our maidens were eligible to liecome
cheerleaders; those who took advantage of the
opportunity were Claire Arseneault, Joyce
MacFarland, Betty Cooper, and Mary E.
Pickles. Beatrice Roy was elected to the tribal
council, ami Mary E. Pickles was elected state
secretary of the Maine Student Councils.
At the annual Carnival Ball, Joan McAlency
was elected as our attendant to the queen.
Again as a part of the festivities, the usual
three-act play was presented. This year
“Junior Miss” was successfully offered twice.
Joyce MacFarland, Margary Shoesmith, Jack
Flood, Stephen Tibbetts, Robley W ilson, and
Ned Maher appeared from our part of the red-
skin clan.
Our social that year was a huge success as
we presented Sally’ Arseneault and Jack Hough
. Ill This for flic Freshmen!

in an artistic program. The two artists drew
caricatures and novelty portraits for an en-
lightened audience. "Tick and Tock" were the
sensation of the season.
Ronald Stinnett won second prize for onr
class in the American Legion Oratorical Con-
test and tribe members Joyce MacFarland,
Mary E. Pickles, Jane Rupp, and Jack Flood
took part in the one-act play, “The Devil
Comes to Alcaraz", which reached the finals
in the state of Maine annual contest.
As an added honor for members of our class,
Jane Rupp and Mary E. Pickles went to Bel-
grade Lake, Maine, Girls’ State, sponsored by
the American Legion Auxiliary. Jane later
went to Girls’ Nation in Washington, D. C.
Our junior year closed with the beautiful
"Starlight Serenade" at the Junior Prom.
As seniors, mightiest of them all, our first
acts were the humbling of the new freshmen
and the subsequent welcoming of them at the
Senior-Frosh Party and the Freshman Re-
ception. Our adviser this year was Mrs.
Clarke. Our officers were: Bill Walker, re-
elected president; Robert Savage, vice-presi-
dent; Claire Arsencault, secretary; and Ned
Maher, treasurer. Our new student council
members were Sally Arsencault and Donald
Mace.
on the reservation was the Senior Social, at
which a “Night Before Christmas" skit was
presented with “Spook" Mitchell as Santa
Clans with gifts for both teachers and stu-
dents.
Though realizing none of our tribe could
enjoy the new gym about to be constructed,
nevertheless, we spent many hours preparing
our float for the mammoth parade staged for
the benefit of the new gym. By way of pos-
ters we pleaded with the local citizens for
something besides a home on the range for
future redskins. In addition to our large float,
"Spook” Mitchell and Roland Bedard paraded
in full war paint.
At the Winter Carnival Ball, Roland Na-
deau and Theresa Cole were elected king and
queen of the festivities Joyce MacFarland
was the attendant from the tribe of ’48.
The annual school play had ample represen-
tation from our class. Jack Flood, Joyce Mac-
Farland, Ned Maher, Margary Shoesmith, Vir-
ginia Duplisea, Robert Poulin. Stephen Tib-
betts. Mary E. Pickles, Roger Racettc, Robert
Mitchell, and Roland Camire all took part in
the three-act presentation, “Our Town", which
was a great success.
Robley Wilson won second prize in the Le-
gion Oratorical Contest; William Walker, Jack
Darvill. Jane Rupp, Lillian Grant, Margary
Shoesmith, Robley Wilson, and Hugh Dennett
took the annual Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Exam.
Hugh and Robley reached the finals.
In March, the one-act play "The Command
Performance" featured from our class Robert
Poulin, Jack Flood, Joyce MacFarland, Mar-
gary Shoesmith. Ned Maher, Mary E. Pickles,
and Jane Rupp.
With the passing of many moons, the trail
has led to the great tribal ceremonies in June.
With one last farewell to the reservation which
we have called home for four years, maidens
and braves will set out to new adventures.
The first main social event of our last year
