THE TRIDENT 17 .. 0' XX X '10 as QW 2' . - ,l X . QR , .M', ,5AFxr ai-X: K .T if A. Log of the Senior Class 1929-In Port of Brewer Brewer High School signed articles. Captain Bradbury to pilot the good ship Con- queror over the sea of Booklore. The Captain had for his officers Sarah Littlefield, lst mate: Alma Wray, Purser: and Margaret Reid, Yeoman. A crew of one hundred and twenty-three green hands were signed on to manage the sails and windlasses. A cargo of books, pencils and paper destined to be delivered at Sophomore Island was placed ln the middle hold and the ship sailed from the harbor. 1930-In Port Sophomore Island Bad weather during voyage. In a severe brainstorm off Cape Algebra several lads were lost overboard. Some were later picked up by passing ships: others were claimed by the sea. Captain Bradbury had the ship put ln drydock and allowed the deck-hands to rest until the next cargo should be signed on. This consignment would prob- ably be something in September. In the fall we sailed out of? the harbor with a fair wind. The officers reporting were Captain Bradbury, Mate Llttleheld, Purser Corey and Yeoman Reid. In November we encountered the pirate ship Bangor. The pirates struggled hard for our loot but because of our flne training were able to take only 6 of our 13 pigsklns. During the winter we took on a cargo of Cocoanuts which we had to throw into the middle hold. This gave us fine practice for our games of Basketball that we played at harbors and points inland. As we were sailing out of Diamond Bay we took on a few baseballs which amused the sailors all the rest of the spring. After the strenuous flght with the pirates and our winter's work flnlshed Captain Bradbury had the ship put in dry dock to have it rebuilt for the next voyage which promised to be a hard one. As this voyage would be started in September we were beached for the summer hoping to sign articles for the fall cruise. 1931-In Port Junior Many of the sailors did not report to receive their new ratings because the sail for the sea of Exhibition was to be difficult as we all had to be sea-lawyers. However, all the officers reported except Mate Littlefield whose place was taken by Mate Bolster. We reached Goal-line Bay where the Bangor Man- eaters tried to devour us but instead we took eighteen of them as captives of whom the others mourned their loss greatly. Our crew of seamen dld line work juggling the cargo that was taken on during the winter. In February all hands became sea lawyers. In the early spring a terrible stage storm came up which swept all hands overboard. Those who managed to reach shore were Francis Bradbury, Lester Graham, Howard Goodwin, Ernest Churchill, Urban Lord, Sarah Littlefield, Ruth Tltcomb, Arlene Bean, Dom- thy Goodwin and Ada White. Graham immediately put out ln a small boat to rescue the others which he was able to do by April 15th. As this was a very nerve racking experience it was decided that the crew have a little pleasure. This was in the form of a few games of Baseball which were very successful. 'I'he Conqueror was put in drydock in June and all hands were given a vacation before the most wonder- ful of all the sails. The cruise to the promised land. 1932-In Port Senior Ninety-five sailors reported in September. The of- ficers were the same except Mate Van Dar Kar who filled Mate Bolster's place. We sailed out of the harbor with Winchell bos'n of the crew which consisted of Miles, McLaughlin, Daly, Gray, Johnson, Wltham, Young, Houston, Ivers, Mathews, Browning, Churchill, Graham, Harriman, Van Dar Kar, and White. A terrific wind came up that blew from the shores of Bangor and tried to tear the sails clown but Winchel1's crew on watch was able to iight against the storm and gain 12 knots. This was our fourth year on board so lt was decided that an exhibition should be given to show what had been learned about a ship and its equipment. The spectacle called Tiger House proved to be very mysterious. The cast consisted of Helen Brimmer, Clyde Bennett, Francis Bradbury, Alma Wray, How- ard Goodwln, Sarah Littlefield, Urban Lord, Natalie Thompson, Wilfred Pooler and Ada White. Our sallorettes did fine work at Basketball this year, winning every game they played. Those Seniors participating were Reid, Corey, Spencer, Srtymlest, Graves and Putman. The prize crew entered a regatta which was held in Bangor. They were victorious and brought home the trophy. The ones that made the victory possible were Miles, McLaughlin, Humphrey, White, Van Der Kar, Smith, Graham, Browning and Bolster. It is growing warm so Gray, Bragdon, D. Smith, Ivers, Winchell, Wltham and Houston are doing their daily dozen by running around the deck several times each day. Spring is here or that is what Miles McLaughlin, White, Browning, Young, Smith, Van Der Kar, Cotter and Butler tell us because they are back on the diamond again. We are now looking forward with great interest to entering the harbor of the Promised Land. We have sailed for four long years to reach this harbor. It is expected that the Conqueror will be sold and the sailors will go into other fields.

I 934-Hello Everybody! 'This is station 1-9-3-4, the Junior Class broadcast- ing. Now for the news. If it wasn't for the Juniors where would our school teams be, uh-huh. On our football team we have Kiah, Pooler, Lyford, Hodgins, and Ryder, no more and no less! And look at the girls' basketball team, Beatty, Chute, Maddocks, McDonald and Hinkley. Oh, I tell you, the Juniors are stepping up on the World. Now let me tell you their political and society news. The class of 1934 had a meeting for electing officers. Richard Kiah was elected President: Nelson Carter, Vice President: Margaret Hinkley, Treasurer: Pat Coulter, Secretary, and yours truly, Class Editor. The Juniors, also had a social March 25, with the Seniors invited, for what is a social without the Seniors. A very important affair came otl' April 21st, namely, Junior Declamations. The girl speakers were Jeanette Perkins, Margaret Hinkley, Ellen Ellis, Doro- thy Smith, Maxine McLaughlin and Doris Dutch falternatebg boys, Reginald Libby, Earl Reid, Ashley Clewly, Nelson Carter, Henry King and Ralph Whit- ing falternatel. Of course, it goes without saying the girls were all dressed in their prettiest. I think my time is up. We'll be seeing you next year. Thank you for your very kind attention. A. Parker '34. Class History 35-Freshman Year We, the class of '35, entered Brewer High School, September, 1931 in the usual manner of Freshmen. We received the usual number of corrections for going either up or down the wrong stairways, the usual number of remarks from upperclassmen about looking green, and, as is the custom, happily survived. 'This accomplished, we finally started business, Fri- day evening, December 11 by having our first social, to which we invited as special guests our parents. After a fine concert by the band, a business meeting was called and Jack Littlefleld was elected president of our class. When the meeting was adjourned, our parents were entertained by the teachers while we played games and ate ice cream in the Gym. The entire evening was a success, and so the class of '35 was well started on its first year of High School. A few days later Richard Hebel was elected vice presidentg Eula Sparks, secretaryg and Ray Gove, treasurer. A second social was held March 11, 1932 in the Gym. At this social enough money was raised to cover all expenses of both socials. Then in June our Freshman year was over and we left for our vacations looking both forward to the good times coming and backward to the good times gone. E. Adams '35. 1il..-. Class History 35--Sophomore Year This year we nearly all came back forming a large Sophomore class. Now we have learned which stair- ways to use and are green no longer. Also we have begun to consider school more seriously. This is plainly shown by our honor roll which follows: E. Adams T. Gordon L. Lunt E. Baker R. Gove H. Nickerson D. Barchard D. Hall G. O'Connor E. Blanchard D. Hall F. Parent E. Bradbury R. Hebel A. Paschal V. Brastow L. Hewes L. Patten N. Bumette M. Hickes J. Perry J. Burrill P. Houston E. Pooler L. Chute E. Igoe O. Reed J. Collett E. Johnston D. Royal R. Danforth E. Klein R. Rideout A. Folsom T. Langtange W. Ruuk P. Folsom H. Leach E. Sparks V. Simmons A. Wedin Our class was represented in athletics as well as in studies and we had several members on the basketball squads. Of the girls, N. Burnette and L. Chute de- serve the most credit, while M. Miles of the boys was best. L. Lunt made the girls' squad but because of an injured arm was unable to play. Now that basketball is over we have had our class elections and we have Jack Littlefield for president as before. We have also the same vice president, Rich- ard Hebel. For treasurer we have Eula Sparks and for secretary, Evelyn Johnston. Elections held and over, we had our first social, March 10, in the High School Gym. An orchestra was there to provide music for games and dancing. When the social was over all reported a good time and expressed their desire for another soon. We miss Gertrude O'Connor and Olive Reid, who have left us because of illness. We hope they will recover quickly and be back with us again. So ends our second year of High School and some of those things we were looking forward to are among those gone by. Yet there are many more ahead and it will be a pleasure to meet them when they come. E. Adams '35.
