The Senior Class won Winter Carnival with their theme, Psychedelic Seniors, and their competitive spirit in all events. Juniors placed second, Sophomores, third, and Freshmen, fourth. This was our best Winter Carnival in spirit and in quality! Thanks to Mrs. Pooler and the Student Council for their excellent organization of this event.

The swim team finished their season coming in 7th overall in the State Meet at Orono last week. Tim George qualified for New Englands, as did our 200 medley and the 200 freestyle medley relay team composed of Andreas Kuhnel, Ross Hanley, John McLeod, and Tim George. These students will compete at Bates College this Saturday. Congratulations to the entire swim team and Don Strout.

The Boys Basketball Team went all the way to the Western Maine Class C Championship game this past Saturday. Though they lost this contest to Dirigo, they had played twice in the quarter and semi finals to achieve their status as Western Maine Class C Runners Up. Wayne and Peg Averill supplied over 400 hundred fan T-shirts, and a reception at Wiscasset High School following the game. Beyond Peg and Wayne's donations, there was a team effort by parents and the community to make the reception possible. Shaws of Wiscasset donated a cake and Big Als supplied us with all the paper products. Several parents chipped in to make the reception the success that it was. A huge Thanks goes to all basketball parents for supplying the memoribilia that was put on display, Anne Glidden for the 8 x 10 photos that were attached to each cut out making them stand out and special for each athlete, Thanks to Anne and Jamie for the idea of providing each athlete, manager and coach with flowers to wear to the games, thanks to the Dennisons who did a lot in making the reception come together the way that it did. Many parents and students came to the games and supported the team in their wins and their final loss. Thanks to Matt Cook and to the team for their exceptional play and their sportsmanlike behavior this season.
