Bar Harbor High School - Islander Yearbook (Bar Harbor, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1953 volume:

ISLANDER 1953 INTRODUCTION lime is ever changing. And with the change of time come new ideas on the same old subjects. At first we try to exist with these old conceptions but in time competition forces us to modernize and improve. So it is with the 1953 “Islander . 1 he streamlined editions of neighboring schools have made it necessary for us to have a modern yearbook with limited funds. Instead of stressing expensive layouts, we have as a theme, individualism. The students of Bar Harbor High School are entirely responsible for the book with the exception of three selections. We hope you will feel satisfied with any changes which have occurred. THE EDITOR This I'age Sponsored liy BAR HARBOR TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY PRINTERS OF THE ISLANDER DEDICATION . . . To Mrs. Helen G. Libby, in grateful appreciation of her patience and kind- ness and in recognition of the fact that she has come to be a sort of symbol of fine and dignified womanhood to us, we dedicate the 1953 Islander.

MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM This Tage Sponsored by JACKSON AND WHITE STUDIOS PORTLAND, MAINE JIM TOMAN, serious and hard working, looks the ideal of young athletic American manhood. He has done an outstanding job in boys’ physical education; and he did all and more than was expected of him in football and basketball, considering, as everyone had fore- seen, that this had to be a build- ing year in B.H.H.S. athletics. No doubt a building year can be pretty discouraging for coach as well as players. ALBERT WEYMOUTH, frank and open of countenance, is young, enthusiastic, and sincere. He is an effective dramatics and debate coach (look at the record), and he works hard at the thankless job of teaching English. A cop in sum- mer, he doesn’t bring any observ- able authoritarian manner into the class room. But his students all do know where he stands and what he stands for. MARY JO GOGGIN of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, graduate of Boston University last year, heads the commercial department. Ur- ban, professional, personable and alert, sh? brings youthful enthus- iasm to her work and into the faculty. Miss Goggin is one of the two teachers responsible for origi- nating The Islet, our brand new school news sheet. LLOYD RHODES, coming to us last fall from the Emerson School, has taken over Driver Training in addition to his work in the junior high division. Friendly and effi- cient, with a variety of abilities, he is a good man to have around; he can always fit in to do the job no one else is currently available to do. MORRIS SOMES, hailing from Somesville originally (his name tells the story) but coming to us from Connecticut, knows modern educational theory thoroughly, is friendly, a good mixer, and a man of parts, with outside business interests for one thing and a big buck to his credit last fall for an- other. He has done a good job coaching junior high basketball. MRS. SUSAN GRAY, a very pretty woman with a soft voice and charming manners, seems al- ways to be working a miracle on the junior high boys and girls. No matter how obstreperous a young- ster may be outside, once in Mrs. Gray’s room he relaxes, puts his best foot forward, and works hard. Mrs. Gray recently received a de- gree in education from the Univer- sity of Maine. She is, by the way, mother of B.H.H.S.’s Leslie Gray, last year’s American Legion dele- gate to Boys’ State. NANCY SUYDAM, another out- of-state young woman (she comes from Winsted, Connecticut), fills the vacancy in Home Economics created by the resignation of Mrs. Woodworth. Though she has been with us only a short time, she is fitting in well, is capable and co- operative. She prepared at Nasson College. Miss Suydam shares with Miss Goggin in the good job of originating the idea for the Islet. It must mean quite a lot of work too. DOLORES AMERGIAN of Port- land, product of Westbrook Junior College and the University of Maine, is the pleasant and friendly young woman who teaches girls’ physical education and some science classes. In addition she coaches girls’ basketball and soft- ball and is doing a good job. EDWARD DeIULIO of New Bedford with a New England Con- servatory background is music supervisor of all Bar Harbor schools, directs the high school band, and as if that were not enough, has organized a variety of other groups, including a “Barber Shop Quartet” and a dance band. Smiling, terribly busy, always rushing to keep appoint- ments, enthusiastic, he is doing all right. This Ta e Sponsaret lly BEST WISHES — TESTA’S HOTEL AND RESTAURANT PRINCIPAL HORACE CROX- FORD, sincere and honest, both with himself and others, hasn’t much use for theories, is a middle- of-the-road educator. Democratic in thought and word and deed, zealous for the welfare of young people, with great faith in them, he maintains a school with all the democracy and freedom consistent with the best interests of his boys and girls. ‘They can’t learn how to use freedom in a straight jacket,” he says; then adds, But they must learn self control and accept the responsibility of their actions. That's part of being free.” SUBMASTER CEORCE REN WICK, graying and handsome, teaches Latin and French and exudes geniality and a somewhat sceptical tolerance, speaks French with a beautiful accent and the American language with a Scotch burr in Harvard overtones. A good example himself of the value of the humanistic type of education he believes in. KENNETH MANSFIELD, forth ritht and stalwart American citi zen. with the courage of his con- victions and a trenchant utterance. Brings into the classroom the in- tangible best out of an athletic past and teaches American historv and government and what it means to be a man and an American. Ex- pects land gets! more out of his students than they think they have in them. Tends toward modernism in education: Most of our stu- dents don’t go to college. We mint do more for this big group.” LEON LEWIS, always immacu- late in appearance, urbane and tol- erant. appraises the passing scene and the foibles of his peers with an amused detachment. Teaches man- ual training and manhood, the first expertly, thoughtfully, and the second incidentally, unconsciously, without effort, merely by being his effective self. A cabinet maker of no mean qualifications, he knows the part that line and form have played in good living. MRS LIBBY, with something indefinable but characteristically American and good coming into a room with her. as if out of the more gracious past, is a Wellesley graduate, has an interest in many things, and is a purposeful teacher - • all the better as a teacher from being so fine a parent. (She has two boys and one girl through col- lege and successfully launched in life and another girl doing a good job at Maine) CLIFFORD REYNOLDS teaches college preparatory math to what probably, he says, are the best and most patient high school kids in America, and he likes both the math and the kids. He thinks Vivian Scott’s caricature of him is tops and a very good likeness, though on first glancing at the sketch, he says he wondered if Vivian hadn't traced it from a picture of the grinning skeleton” Voltaire. This Page Sponsored By THE MARY JANE RESTAURANT TRIPP'S RESTAURANT Best Wishes To The Class of 1953 Recommended by AAA Duncan Hines IN MEMORIAM tor a long time she teas here with us, a pleasing personality, often gay anti bantering uith the other teachers, but instantly touched by another's trouble and un- happiness. She was infallibly hintI to her students and considerate oj them, quick with understanding and help. Even as her health declined and her spirits flagged, she kept up a cheerful pretense. After she gave up her position at school, we assumed she was slowly improv- ing, perhai s because it was so easy to do so. Vow that she has “left the precincts of the cheerful day” and is beyond the need of us, we wish we had been more thoughtful of her during her long illness. This Tage Sponsored By F. J.

Where are those darned hooks? Here they are. But where are my French sentences I spent so long doing? Why is everyone mad at me? Why do I have to live like this? Why is there a Monday morning?

It was faintly lighted so that I could see the huge cave-like ceiling floating above me. The sound of my foot- steps echoed around it. I began to sing: at first only to hear the echoes and then because the echoing made the singing itself l� eautiful to me. and I imagined into it all that it lacked. The music was a part of me, inside me. It came from within my own heart. —Vivian Scott As I stand here among the flakes of snow that silently fall around me. I wonder how it is that God has made each snow flake to have a meaning of its own. A meaning that alone says nothing, alone as a single snow flake, yet brought together with masses of others, forms a coverage over the earth. —Richard Salisbury “What is it like to die?” I ask.

She let a fearful shriek out of her and ran to mother. Mother came in. balled me out properly, and said, “Just for that you shan’t go to the dance tonight.” After mother had gone back to the kitchen, my little sister came in w ith a big smile on her face and said. “Ha!

The Y-Teens were preparing to impress their mothers with an elegant banquet, w ith decorations, flowers, and un-chipped plates. It was nearly time to start. The long tables were almost set. Joan found a better vase for the flowers and started arranging them for the third time. She hail thought of balancing them against each other in bunches, but once more they drooped gently and sadly onto the table and she gave up in exasperation. Nita came over with some shears and a charac- teristic remark. “With that face, it tops it all off to he clumsy, too.” She brushed back her hair and began to repair the flower stems with a swift, ef- ficient movement. Joan didn't say anything. There isn’t much you can sa to that kind of remark. But it wasn t fair that Nita. glamorous and popular, with all the ad- vantages. should pick Joan as a target. “It isn t right,” she thought, miserably. “Maybe 1 am silly looking. But why should she feel like picking on somebodv ? I know Anna, for instance, gripes at people because she’s skinny and gawky herself and she has to let it out on somebody. But Nita? Maybe it's just that I’m so awkward that people can’t resist making fun.” This I'age Sponsored liy HARADEN ELECTRIC CO. FLORENCE LEWIS SHOPPE Weslinghouse - Philco 94 Main Street A couple of girls wandered over and began scattering napkins around, chattering about nothing in particular. One wrinkled her nose and muttered, “I II bet that this darned mother’s banquet makes me late to the dance. You know these long-winded speakers.” The other one said cheerfully that she didn’t mind. “I'm not going with anybody special, so why hurry?” Nita laughed smoothly. “Joan isn’t going with anybody . . . special, are you? No, she is much too busy for such things.” Joan just stared at her for a minute. She felt that she was going to cry a little, and hating herself for being hurt so easily, she went out into the hall. She heard them laughing at something behind her. Maybe it’s true they’re all laughing at me. It’s be- cause I’m really ugly that she does that.” Then she began to he angry, mostly at herself. “No. that isn’t so! There must be a reason for Nita hating me. It can’t be just me, it can’t be. 1 don’t want it to be.” Diinily she heard voices outside. She must go and greet the arriving guests, be polite and cheer- ful. and find them, their places. She opened the door for them, seated them with appropriate ges- tures, and began to feel better about life in general. Inside of half an hour, the dining room seemed full. Joan looked around at the tables. There were some missing. Her own mother was there, talking happily to a lady in a pink hat. next was Mrs. Car- ter. then a space . . . She turned quickly at the sound of the bell and walked over to be a hostess again. She opened the door to a large, fair woman who boomed out: “Glad to be here.” As they started towards the dining room the lady said, That’s another of your own sty les you’re wearing? I like your sewing, young lady. I tell my own girl to set store by your example and do a little work herself. But she’s shiftless. Always has been.” Joan was appalled. “My lord, that poor girl w ho’s her daughter.” And then she looked at the lady again and had to stifle a w hoop of laughter at her, striding ungracefully through life with a militant eye and a positive yen for saying the untactful. But there was more to come. She had caught sight of Nita carry- ing dishes. The huge voice echoed again. Nita. doll, that’s a dreadful dress: like I tell you. look at what Joan, here, has got on. Y ours looks a mess beside it. Resentment flared in Nita's face. Joan watched, speechless, as it smoothed into the too familiar con- tempt. She said bitterly “People can hear you, you know,” and walked swiftly towards the kitchen, nearly running before she reached it. Joan stood there, fascinated and relieved. “It wasn’t me! She was taking something out, like Anna does! And so would I, if my mother did something to me like that. Only I’d probably hit at my mother and get to the point.” Nita passed by and said with cutting courtesy to Joan. “Isn’t Madame going to do some of the work?” Joan turned to her and smiled. “Sorry, 1 guess I m just naturali) lazy.” —Vivian Scott ON CATCHING COLD One of the easiest things to catch is a cold. It re- quires no intelligence whatsoever. You may spend hours trying to capture the mouse that has been bothering you at home and be unsuccessful; but catching a cold is an entirely different matter. Colds just love to be caught. There’s nothing they like any better than to get into some poor victim’s head anil throat, stuffing the nasal passages and causing a frightful cough. Consequently, colds don’t put up much of a struggle, if any at all. In fact, they often resort to catch- ing you. if they are lacking a person to make miserable. Some colds are very aggressive. They just can’t wait to be caught so they go right out and tackle their prospective victims. This explains why many people land flat on their backs so often in the winter months. Colds are really a lot like the people who catch them. I here is the “sweet young thing” type, which results in a little sniffle only. Some specialize in causing just an awful cough or an un- ceasing runny nose. So you see. colds resemble the various professions w hich have specialists. All colds, regardless of their specific type, have the same purposes. These purposes are, one, to catch as many victims as possible. Here 1 might add that each cold has a quota each month. Failure to com- plete this quota results in extermination. The world of the cold is essentially very communistic: and two. to make these victims as miserable as possible. From inception, each type has these two principles taught it. In conclusion, I hardly need say: “Beware! You may be the next to be attacked by our enemv. the cold!” 1 —-Joy Roberts SNOW FOREST n elm stands poised and richly dressed And, if the air were not so still. Would rise, all floating, far above.

Perhaps the reason why I have never had the desire to do so is because when I am with people who are smoking their smoke gets in my eyes, nose and ears, and plugs up my throat until I nearly choke to death. So in my esti- mation, cigarettes are enough to kill a man. That's why 1 keep clear of them. Rut what tickles me are the techniques some women use in order to let people know they are experienced smokers. The sophisticated smoker is no end amusing. From between her fingers she gently places the long, beautiful snow-white, small paper cylinder into her mouth. With the other hand she presses on her shiny lighter and sets the cigarette afire. Drawing into her lungs about as much smoke as she is able to consume, she waits a while. Then she becomes a dragon, w ith the smoke pour- ing from her nose and mouth in steady' streams. You wonder if the next breath won’t be smoke, too, because of the amount of smoke she took in. for it doesn’t seem as though she could let it all out in just one breath. How she lives through one cigarette is more than one can understand. And al- most you wish she wouldn t. I’ll never forget a woman I once knew who smoked in this manner. She filled her mouth with as much smoke as she could (didn t in- hale. but just filled her mouth). Yfter that dramatic procedure, she caused a very beautiful scene to occur. With her mouth half open, she jerked her head back curiously and left the smoke in mid-air to curl very artistically up around her nose and eyes. I can’t see what J( enjoyment she got out of it, other than being noticed. Perhaps the most popular method is that which I have generally noticed among beautiful young ladies. They, like the sophisticated smoker, gently press the precious fag between their lips and inhale far too much. Tilting their heads a little awkwardly, they then blow the smoke straight into the air hor- izontally. They blink their starry eyes prettily as the smoke goes by. Thev seem to get as much out of a cigarette as they put into smoking it, and that's a lot. Yes, how often I wonder just w hat type of smoker 1 would be if I took up the habit. I think I’d like to lie one of those dragon ladies, with the smoke coming out of all ends. It looks so much more fascinating and skillful. Y et. 1 would probably throw the cigarette away with the first puff, for I would be terribly sick from swallowing what now chokes me merely from its smell. —Helen Hanscom --------o------- I DIDN’T MEAN IT” It’s so dark here, and the time seems to be dragging.

There you sit all worn out! A person who has learned the skill of typing should be commended on the superiority of his nervous system. Donald E. Dyer, Jr. 53 -------o-------- ()() , AM I MAD! LEARNING TO TYPE Today, as never before, the art of typewriting is becoming more and more popular. Practically all business concerns in the United States do their business correspondence with typewriters. This is why a young person, who is applying for a job should be able to type. A person who has pride in ♦ making his business transaction neat is going to excel and move ahead faster than a person who does not. Keeping this in mind many students in our pub- lic schools are learning to type. But. somehow, in some way or another, it is not as easy as it seems. They just can't seem to make their fingers fly over the keyboard. If they do they don’t hit the right keys. Let's start from the beginning and tell why. First of all. the teacher has the future typists, (that is what we had better call them), learn the placement of their fingers on the keyboard. Yes, this appears to be very easy. You just have to learn the keys a. s, d, f. j. k, I, : , and you’re all set. But many stu- dents don’t take time to learn them because they figure they can look at the keys and type just as well. But they soon learn, to their sorrow, that they can't. The first two or three weeks are fine ami they know all about the typewriter now. Then there comes the day when the keys are capped and the letters can't be seen. Boy! You should hear the groans and complaints. The usual speed with which you have previously typed drops to one tap of a key about every minute. You scratch your head and you can actually feel the perspiration of frustra- tion. Eventually after a hard struggle, you become accustomed to the caps. After this, all you need is practice. However, before I finish, let me say a few words about the speed tests. Each day the instructor gives you a paragraph to type. You try to type as much of this as you can in a minute. On the word “go you type as fast as you can. But here is what happens. You are going at great speed and then you hit two keys at once, causing them to stick. After you have un- fastened them you can't remember where a certain letter is or what became of your place in the para- graph. By then you are ready to throw the type- writer through a window. When you are through with this episode you can't hit the right key to save Is it not perplexing when. Studying so hard I’ve been. Someone else a rumpus raised And Teacher Weymouth seems quite phased.

I wonder how many french- men bother with rules anyway. —Joan Williams FRENCH French is a modern language. It was until re- cently considered the language of diplomacy. The best educated people sjieak French. It is required of college preparatory students, though of course they never speak it and few can even read it. Modern educators seem to deviate from the beaten path In- stating that this “classic” stressed so much by the teacher of the “old school” is no longer essential. I agree most whole heartedly! When I entered high school. I looked forward to my sophomore year when I would have the privilege” of studying French. I marveled at the people who had the ability to roll off a long sentence in this sacred tongue. Even the upper classmen who came to me and said. “Bonjour,” or some other difficult phrase seemed to me un- doubted geniuses. I longed for the end of my first year of French when I would astound my un- fortunate non-French speaking friends with my fluency in the strange language. I.o and behold, the promised year arrived: We were handed our first books which were supposed to teach us (so we thought) French in 36 easy lessons. It looked easy enough — at first. The first thing which confronted us was a vocabulary quiz the second day of school. Three-fourth of the class flunked. I guess we had needed to spend a little more time on those words if we were to get anywhere. So undaunted, we set to with new fervor. Would we let this simple langu- age get us down? Never! Well, we went through the first hook — eventual- ly. After a lot of 60's and 70’s, that is. At this time we were introduced to another phase of French — translation. It was in some book on the history of France designed for a fifth grader that we made our first, (and sad I attempts. Night after night, lights burned while the sophomores labored hours to com- plete their translations. Next day we would troop into class, each confident that he would surprise his teacher by the length of the selection translated. Usually we went through the text in five minutes Would we give up? Never. So on we dragged until we were through second year f rench. Finally, we reached our last year in this beloved (big joke) language. Yes. I guess we did reach it after learning 14 conjugations which had six parts in each of the three regular verbs. (That's 232 dif- ferent forms.) May I remind you that this does not include the 97 or more irregular verbs which have J54 parts each that we learned, or the orthographical peculiarities of verbs in the first conjugation, or the imperative moods, of which there are five in each verb, or the infinitive or participles of each. And that is only verbs. Every word has a special rule about it — almost. You can t just pul the in front of a word as you do in English. 3 ou consider the gender and number and whether there is a rule that sa - you don't put “the in English. ou do this with THE BIOGRAPHY OF JOHN IAMBI RNER ( As taken from the mental notes of his friend, Dick Salisbury) Of John’s advent into the world on February 13, 1936. I don’t know much, since I had not come into the world myself then. But 1 can well imagine, if that event was surrounded by all the fanfare that John usually succeeds in having for even the most trivial of his doings, that his birth was a howling success. But that date, that fatal 13th has already proved somewhat unlucky for him. and unless he reforms in certain respects I expect it foreshadows something pretty bad. My first sight of John is clearly in my mind. 1 was an out-of-town boy and hadn't begun to mix; and there was John, a big shot, running the play- ground. making up rules as he went along. At the age of eight John was in business for himself. He had a small orange bicycle named “Betsy.” and each morning he whizzed over his paper route on it. Like so many- of our presidents, he got up at six. All during grammar school John and his pals. Bob Conti and Lee Doyle, were the big guns of the class. They had the money, the brains, the time and the women. The world was theirs. He didn't distinguish himself in sports until he got into high school. Then he really became a good buddy of mine. John didn’t really get going in his love life until this year. After he got his class ring he got himself a girl, a good looker, too. to hang his ring on. About John’s future. 1 don’t know. 1 m sure he II be a great guv if he keeps on: and some day I think he’ll make a remarkable president. He thinks so too. -------o------- TWO’S A CROWD Before 1 heard the doctors tell The dangers of a kiss, I had considered kissing you The nearest thing to bliss.

Bar Harbor Maine THE MALE’S WORST ENEMY Did you ever notice the different kinds of hair that males have growing from their heads? There are as many varieties as there are males. Most of these crops of hair oppose any and all attempts to control them. They definitely have minds of their own. There is one kind that no matter what the poor possessor may do, simply won't do anything hut what it wants to. This variety usually resembles a tangled mass of heaven-only-knows -what. It will not allow itself to be combed and it flops every which way. The individual pieces seem to derive great delight in this struggle against a comb or brush because they fight all the harder when ag- gravated by such. The cowlick is also very stubborn, insisting on protruding straight upward at a 90 degree angle despite all attempts to put it in place. It is not long before the unfortunate male has to give up and stop fighting his hair. This constant battle often causes the owner’s brain to dissolve into something akin to madness. To only those with strong minds do I recommend waging an extensive campaign. To combat the obstinate type of hair some males resort to plastering their heads with one of the many available tonics. But they soon find, much to their dismay, that no matter how much of the sticky, gooey prepar- ation they use, their hair resumes its natural state of confusion. Still other males resort to a crew cut. This hair- cut is really the most effective thing. It reduces the length to such a minimum that the hair has no alter- native but to stick up straight all over. Even though it may try vigorously to grow out and regain control, another hair-cut will subdue it. In some cases hair will allow itself to be combed after the crew-cut treat- ment. because it realizes misbe- havior w ill result in another scalp- ing. However, this doesn’t always work. No one can truly anticipate the actions of a head of hair. Scien- tists have been working on the psychology of the male hair, but as yet they have not been able to reach any helpful conclusions. Hair is very essential to the male head since it is needed to keep the brain from freezing in winter and to keep it from frying in summer. If you feel that you simply must do something about your hair since your sanity is threatened. I recommend a new product on the market called “'Hair Controller - if we can’t control it, we'll put you out of your misery.” This has been chemically tested and proved to be a decided help to many sufferers, so it may be able to help you. In any case, you’ll have peace at last. Above all. don’t get discouraged. Remember, you could have been born with two heads of the same kind of hair. And for those poor souls who possess a head of hair which in any way, shape, or manner, remotely resembles the hair I have been describing, I’ll pray. Good luck! —Joy Roberts ------o——— NIGHT INTO MORNING The shadows of the night are falling Slowly, quietly across the grass; Twilight slowly creeps upon us As the sun sinks in the west.

Barry Clark, John Lymburner, David Shelton, Leslie Gray, George Riddell, and Don Dyer made up the middle of our line with Shel- don Goldthwait and Alan Wilkin- son freely substituting. Our outside line ends were held down by Morris Strout and Dick Abbott. Signal calling was handled by quarterback Herbert Mitchell with Carroll Wood shifting with him constantly from his half back slot. Dick Salisbury, Fred Ames, Dick Morrison and Percy Harding were the other hard-hitting backs. Other members of the squad who saw football action were Robert Leland, David Linscott, Sandy Mc- Farland, and little Duane Liscomb. Two of the boys received out- standing recognition for their play- ing. Carroll Wood and Don Dyer made honorable mention on the Bangor Commercial all-star team, while Dyer also made the Little Ten Conference first team.

Basketball . . . Faced with the same problems as he had in football — namely, lack of veterans — Coach Toman greeted about thirty five candi- dates for basketball. After drastic cutting the varsity team consisted of twelve men, mostly sophomores and juniors with two seniors. Opening the first game with Stevens Academy of Bluehill, the Seasiders lost 60-41. They re- venged this loss, however, by beat- ing Sumner High 63-45 but from then on, the Orange and Black had a losing streak of eight games. Playing Stevens for the second time we beat them, at home, by a score of 64-51. We then journeyed to Orono where we upset them 56- 53, making it two successive wins. After this we never could seem to get going and lost our remaining games by the smallest margins, winding up the season with 3 wins and 17 losses. The Asa Wasgatt Memorial Trophy awarded to the player who in the opinion of his team mates has contributed most to the team was awarded to Don Dyer. Since the Seasiders are losing only three men, Carroll Wood, Les- lie Gray, and Don Dyer, the team of Carroll Lurvey, Herbie Mitchell, Lawrence Burch, Morris Strout, John Lymburner, Raymond Gray, George Riddell, Richard Salisbury, and David Young, should go places next year. Having gained much needed experience this year they ought to be a threat to any team. RECORD Oppoent B. H.

Gordon Bangor Maine Ellsworth Maine Trenton Maine Machias Maine Junior Varsity Basketball The Junior Varsity team started off the ’52-’53 season with five straight victories. But this height of glory was due for a serious set hack with the loss of center and hook-shot artist Raymond Gray, to the varsity. Although the Juniors failed to complete the season with more then seven wins it must he remembered that twelve of the men on the squad were underclassmen. Two freshmen Barry Clark and Carlton Mitchell showed ability to dump in double figures and spark the team in the close ones. John Lymburner and Warren Stillwell did the hall handling in the hack court. Although the team failed to measure up to last year’s jayvee record, it looks as if Coach Toman can expect from it some able and spirited eagers for another year. Base Kail With thirtv men reporting for baseball. Coach Allan Savage got his diamond crew underway. The pitchers and catchers worked out in the Casino and by the time our first game rolled around against Old Town, the Seasiders were ready. 1 nsteady playing was the result of a first game. B-3 loss. From then on. however, the trained crew of Allan Savage went on a winning streak. LeRoy Dyer got his arm warmed up and mowed down the opposition. Ellsworth. Orono. Ml. Desert. Pemetic, John Bapst. Bucksport, and Brewer all fell before the non-stoppable Seasiders. Spor.ing a 5-1 record in the Penobscot Valley Conference, Bar Harbor won the championship for the second time since 1950. This entitled them to plav in the Eastern Maine tournament where they lost in the finals to llurtland !!-(). after heating Freedom Academy 17-5. Nine wins and two losses was the season record. LeRoy Dyer was our best defensive weapon by winning 6 games and losing only two. Lawrence Burch displayed fine pitching against Freedom and Pemetic, winning two games. Also Paul Jordan came out from his catching position and won one game, in addition to his fine hitting. Our infield played all-around good ball. Nate king list base! provided the hitting: Don Dyer (2nd base) added hitting strength: Brian Somers (short-stop) chipped in with important plays: and Willie MeGarr (3rd base I played great defensive ball and made timely hits. Sonny Mitchell was the capable reserve. The outfield also plaved consistent ball. Ken Riddell played center field like a professional and made five hits in a row against Freedom. George Riddell and Bob liainor held down left and right field, respectively, w ith good fielding. Coach Savage ami his hoys deserve a lot of credit In being able to jump right back and win the PV'C, after having lost every game in 1951.

VARS 17 After several delays, the cheerleaders for 1952-53 were chosen by a faculty committee during the second week of school. Helen Hanscom was named varsity head cheerleader, and her assistants were Mary Jane Spear, Ann Tripp. Jackie Hodgkins, and Joan Williams: varsity alternates Carolyn MacQuinn and Pat Goodwin headed the jayvee squad consisting of Marion Moon. Margaret Stanley, and Joy Roberts. Pal Goodwin was forced to drop out because of poor health and Betsy Croxford took her place. The varsity had new orange blouses to go with their junipers, which they made themselves. The jayvees ordered some orange socks to wear with their outfits at the beginning of the basketball season, but as we go to press, they haven’t seen any thing of them yet. Both squads have made up many peppy new cheers, the varsity specializing in cartwheels and splits. The jayvee games have often been very exciting — cjuite as exciting several nights as the varsity game. This Page Sponsored Ily “Dick's” J. J. Weast. 0. I). Optometrist H. C. Austin Co.
