The Freshman class of 1959 arrived at Gorham the· largest freshmen class in the history of the school. We still were, however, nervous and confused. This soon was ceased by the Orientation Program which helped acquaint us with the school, faculty, students, and various activities and clubs here on the hill. The most memorable was the Freshman Reception. This was, of course, formal and freshmen, as well as upperclassmen, made many new friends.
At our first class meeting we elected our officers for the year. Those chosen were: Edward Hammond, President; Wayne Pillsbury, Vice-President; Ronald Peabody, Secretary; and Walter Hanson, Treasurer. Freshmen representatives elected to the student council were Donna Hill and Richard Gauthier.
The first formal of the year, the Harvest Ball, arrived and a fairly large percentage of freshmen attended. This was to the freshmen, their first college formal, and everyone was quite excited.
The Coronation Ball proved just as exciting. From our class Jennifer Dodge and Mary Nichols were our choice for q ueen candidates. To this also many fresh men attended.
Basketball season arrived and our class was well represented by Ronald Peabody, Joseph Connoly, and Corroll Lurvey on the varsity squad.
On the cheerleading squad, five of the eight cheerleaders were represented by the Freshman class. These were: Barbara Williard, Donna Williams, Pat Eaton, Lillian Crosby, and Dorothy Corrao......
