Fl! :lf :if if :lf GIRL-Shy Girl-Shy was the play presented by the Dramatics Club at the Football Social. You remember how Hago Mayo teased Eddie Pooler about being girl-shy? But Eddie proved his innocence by his interest in Eula Sparks. Don't you think so? lfVe knew, even before the play started, that Hago isn't girl-shy. and did Barbara Whittredge know how to handle him? Then Kay Piper was going' to enter the movies, but she didn't get far, did she? Richard Mayo was good enough substitute for her. And then there was Alden Whitney who wasn't so girl-shy himself, especially with Edna Adams-and oh yes, you must remember Peggy Johnston. Wasn't she a scream as Asthma? And Dodie Hopper got along just famously with Robert Goodwin. Mac Buchanan was there as Eddie's father. He was kind of stubborn, didn't you think so? Oh well, here's the full cast. Maybe you'll remem- ber better after reading it. Eula Sparks . . . . . . Edward Pooler Oke Stimpson .,... .... . . Harold Mayo Peaches Carter ,.., . . .... Barbara Whittredge Chuck Mayo , . .

THE TRIDENT 27 Who Wouldn't Be Crazy I guess this is going to be good. Look at the crowd --there goes the curtain. Say, that colored fellow must be Ned Bradbury. Who else could be acting like that? But who's his colored girl-friend. Why it's Evelyn Klein. I can tell by her voice and here comes Gus Hebel with Lorraine Hewes. Aren't they crazy? Boy oh boy! does Cleo King look nice, even if he is supposed to be an old man and there's Tommy Gordon, dignified as ever. Sa-a-ay, there's Hago Mayo. They're calling him speedy. He certainly looks the part. Look at Libby Igoe. I can tell she's going to be good just by looking at her. And there's Priscilla Houston looking as calm and sweet as ever. O-h-h-h look! The Hall Twins and Polly Black are chasing Alden Whitney everywhere. Hurray. Here's where Charlie Barry makes his appearance. Not a bad tough guy, is he? and there's Ray Gove. That broken arm doesn't disfigure him much, does it? Oh boy! What a love scene! I can just feel Priscilla blush as Ray holds her. And here's Libby again. Hago's cer- tainly crazy about Libby. And he gets her, too. Dot Fowles certainly makes a good nurse, don't you think so? You can't blame Tom for being attracted. Well, I'll say it was good. I'm going to keep this program in my scrap book. Lois Meredith .........,.,.. . . Speedy Marshall . . . Mr. Marshall ..... . . Mr. Higgins .... Pendie ......... Pluribus ,..,... Evelyn Winslow .

The noisiest of them all was Lester Gramp McLaughlin. This year, for the first time in our school, special sweaters were bought for the cheer leaders. On the back of each sweater was a large black letter. Here is il very general picture of how they looked on the e .

As it is today the library is a general study hall and rendezvous. If classrooms are crowded, the overflow studies in the library, if the P. G.'s have nowhere else to go, they land in the library, if a club desires a shortfmeeting, they hold it in the library, if friends wish to meet, they do it in the library. In fact, if there is nowhere else to go, nearly everyone heads for the library. There really ought to be a room where students could meet, but let us not call it a library. A After all, a library is supposed to be a place to which one can go to secure information and reading material. As for the information, we have several encyclopedias and reference books which are used by many students. Reading material, however, is sadly lacking. There is, of course, an excellent reason for this. The school authorities feel that since Brewer High students have access to the Bangor Public Li- brary, second best library in the state, it is not neces- sary to provide fiction books for our library. I do not think they realize how very difficult it is for out-of- town students and many here in Brewer to secure books from the Bangor Library. Many students do not have cards and ma-ny of those who do have them do not know how to select the right books. Perhaps it could be arranged to bring either Bangor Library or State books to our school library and thus supply this need of fiction books for book reports. In spite of the handicaps mentioned above, the library has done a good bit of work this year and de- serves credit for making the most of its opportuni- ties. Mrs. Lawrie has been well assisted by Evelyn Klein who in turn has been assisted by Frances Mayo. There are several girls from the underclasses who also deserve much credit for their voluntarily ren- dered services. They are as follows: a Senior, Adeline Folsom, Juniors, Lucille Maddocks, Patricia Smith, Lillian Moore, and Leola Boynton, Sophomores, Alma Fifield, Ruth Foster, and Arline King, Freshmen, Elene Gleason, Mary Piper, Susie Zitaner, Helen Kealiher, Nina Pulk, Frances Gallant, Claire Twomey, and Ruth Starkey. The Library Department wishes to thank all those who have spent so much time and effort to provide a tplace where students may go to find aid and informa- ion. lil Ik lk lk if Lonely Room Day is ending, Night is descending.
