The 1931 ORACLE staff has dedicated its labor in the direcf
tion of building a book by which it is possible to keep your class
ever with you, to mirror accurately school life at Edward Little:
to reflect through the medium of the printed word the accom'
plishments of the various activities, athletic and nonfathleticg to
recapture the occurrences of the year, to give compliments where
they are meritedg and finally to present a picture of your class'
mates, friends, teachers-a golden storehouse of memories.
If we have succeeded in attaining our goal, we hope you will
appreciate the value of this work as we appreciate the satis'
faction aiforded by watching the book grow, the experience
acquired, and the thrill of achievement.

To the memory of Lorenzo Edward Moultoiiffwhose acquaint'
ance we have cherishedgwhose skilled guidance and cooperation we
have warmly rcceivediwhose sportsmanship and desire for a hard
battle, courageously fought and fairly won, have impelled our admira-
tion and respect---whose industry we have seen exempliied through
the erection of the new building-whose perseverance and enthusiasm
have spurred us on to achievement-and whose niche as an enerf
getic manager, educator, counselor, and friend, we have unerringly
acknowledged-we, the class of 1931, dedicate this ORACLE.

During the illness of the late Mr. Moulton
and after his death until Mr. Taylors ar-
rival, Mr. Yeaton carried on the principal's
duties as well as his regular classes. VVe
take this opportunity to thank Mr, Yeaton
for his tireless and faithful service. XVe
say, and in so saying we speak the mind of
every student who knows .Xrthur Yeaton,
that his acquaintance has had a momentous
influence in making our high school life
worth-while, and that his judicious advice,
which he is never reluctant to share, shall
always remain in our minds inseparable with
Edward Little.

Mr. 'Faylm' assumed the principals oihce in March. In the
short and pleasant association with Mr. Taylor that we have heen
privileged to enjoy. we have come to regard him as Il skilled pilot,
a man of his convictions, a keen promoter, a co-worker of under-
standing, a rare good sport, and a true friend.

,TESSIE ALLEY
Our one and only Latin teacher, Jessie, has won our hearts during the
three years we have labored with constructions and composition. Under her
guiding hand we have come out on top of the heap of Virgil, Ovid. and other
like collateral. And if you doubt Jessie's patience, wit and versatility, just
ask the Girls' Council for unquestioned proof.
HELEN BEBOUT -
Miss Bebout is one-half of the "Home Ee." department. For those who
have not made her acquaintance we say that it might not be a bad idea to do
so between now and the end of the term, for she's well worth knowing.
FREDERICK BRYANT
Q "Brick"
And who is there among us who would not speak a good word for Mr.
Bryant? That genial gentleman is to be found at almost any hour of the day
holding sway over a busy group of boys down in the manual training room.
And where would we be when it came to dramas and operettas if it were not
for Mr. Bryant's helping hand?
ROBERT CHANDLER
ClBObH
Here is a teacher who can give lecture courses during his class periods on
school spirit, world peace, intelligence standards, current sports, health
rules-or what have you P-and still teach chemistry. If Colby were ever to
offer a prize to the alumnus who best supports the dear "alma mater" we are
sure "Bob" would get it.
D EDNA coRNFoRTH
Woiild someone please be so kind as to tell us what E. L. would be like
without Miss Cornforth? From the kindergarten on, those pupils who had
older brothers and sisters in high school were presented Miss Cornforth as
an incentive to attain the glory of reaching E. L.'s portals. The marvelous
part of it is. we've yet to End a student who's been disappointed.
BERNICE DAVIS
"Bernie"
And who is the smiling young lady who keeps such good order down in
the main corridor of the old building? It is none other than Bernice keeping
a careful vigilance over "Min" and "Dem".

The addition of the E. L. H. S. Gym paved the way for a new faculty
member. "Zeke" came down from Junior High to fill the position and has
Htted in slick as a whistle. Whetlier it is football, basketball, rifiery, track,
or what not, "Zeke" is an authority.
SARAH ENWRIGHT
'fEnnie"
Miss Enwright and the French course at Edward Little shall always
remain synonymous in our minds. Her class periods are noted for their
clock-work proficiency.
MAUDFZLENA HUSKINS
"Maud"
As the conductor of orderly and efficient classes Miss Huskins stands
second to none in old lf. L. VVe couldn't graduate without her.
ELIZABETH JORDAN
"Pretty"
For the three years Betty has been with us in E. L. she has become as
endeared to our hearts as her sister. One of the highest compliments a
teacher can receive from a student is to be called a "perfect peach". and Betty
certainly merits that title.
MA R CAR FT bl ORDAN
1APeggy,!!
How much less would these last two years have meant to us had we been
denied the pleasure of knowing' our beloved Peggy! A fine teacher, a good
sport. and most important of all a real friend, Margaret will long' be among
our fondest remembrances of Edward Little.
ANNA KENNEDY
A newcomer to the portals of li. L., Mrs. Kennedy has already won a place
in our hearts. Though we Seniors see too little of this interesting' person,
she proved her worth as one ot the coaches of the Senior Drama.

JEANETTE LoR1NG
Wlieii Miss Frost forsook her drawing classes early in the year, Jeanette
stepped in and very capably took over the reins. Under her guidance even
those who never before could be accused of being artistic are seen to cast sly,
admiring glances at their work.
JOHN MANNINC1
Hjohnnyl'
They say when johnny went to high school it took over a half page in
the Oracle to account for all the activities in which he took part. As a teacher
he is equally as versatile--economics, physics, history, debating, hockey, agri-
culture. and golf all coming in his line.

is great! The .liuniors who have him for linglish are certainly fortunate.

Most Jolly would certainly go to Miss Miller.
CHRISTINE NOR VVOOID
Another recent addition to lf. L.'s teaching staff, Miss Norwood soon made
many friends here, and she has extended her good work as faculty adviser
on the Girls' Council. A good share of the success of the Mother's Tea
belongs to you, Miss Norwood,
FLORENCE PENNFLI.
Fortunate are those who can boast of having Florence for a teacher. and
those same students have certainly gained a friend in the bargain. Smiling
and helpful always, she is our idea of a wonderful teacher.

ALMA PERKINS

Our own "Perlcyl' turned high hat this year and established herself in a
cute little office all her own on the mezzanine Hoor. It's never safe to direct
anyone to the whereabouts of "Perky" for she may be teaching her youthful
charges any one of ten different sports in ten different places.
GERALDINE PIERCE
Although this is Miss Pierce's first year in Edward Little she has certainly
become a popular and successful teacher. She is the other half of the "Home
Ec." department-the cheery pair you see about town.
ELBRIDGE PITCHER
Mr. Pitcher has put a lot of time and effort in the music clubs this year.
We can't help admiring a man who can conduct four glee clubs, a band,
orchestra, a music appreciation class, and a class in harmony, besides his
regular duties as music supervisor of the Auburn schools. We shall never
forget Mr. Pitcher-the man with the baton and the big bass voice.
ANGIE PULSIFER
More than many of todayis typists who matriculate around these here parts
have been groomed under the guiding hand of firm, efficient, and business-like
Miss Pulsifer.
MIRIAM RICE
We've always understood that Wzzterville wasn't half bad. Now that
,we've met Miss Rice we think it must be a pretty hue place. fVVe wonder
if it is VVaterville's air that makes such blue eyesj
ARTHUR TAY LOR

XVe cannot praise too much George Rieker

calm, cool chap whom we never saw in an
impatient mood. As a friend George was
a true pal. As a worker he was enthusias-
tic, industrious, and thorough.
JESSE TURNER

of us who knew him highly respected his
desire for fairness, his keen sense of humor,
and the enthusiastic spirit with which he
worked.

The accomplishments of the Girls' Council this year have been numerous.
ln carrying out its program the Council has been kept busy preparing' for
speakers, assemblies. teas, and entertainments. The first of the year started
with a bang with the annual picnic at Thorncrag when all the girls of the
school filled themselves with hot-dogs. apples, ginger ale, etc. ln November
the Council secured Mrs. Clifton ll. Gray, wife of the Bates president, to
speak before the Edward Little girls on "College Life". In conjunction with
the Student Council the Girls' Council staged a Football Dance for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the rewards presented the football men. As a spe-
cial feature a Mothers' Tea was held in the gym and a pleasant evening was
enjoyed by those in attendance. To top off all this thc Council is anticipating
the May Masque. which is yearly sponsored by this group.

The original Oracle was a monthly magazine serving as a newspaper,
literary magazine, and yearbook all in one. ln the year l926-l927 this
arrangement was changed. That year saw the incoming of the Station as
the newspaper, and the establishing of the Oracle as the Yearbook. The
school does not support a literary publication, but a smattering of literary
work is to be found in each the Oracle and Station.
From the time the Oracle became a yearbook each step in its growth has
been marked by strenuous effort and failure. These failures have pointed out
the rnts to be avoided, and the high standards set by previous staffs have
served as goals to be surpassed.
'llhe work of the staff is in the direction of building a book that shall pre-
sent a picture of school life as it is at Edward Little. that shall record on
paper the accomplishments of the year. and that shall act as a reminder to
you of your high school career.

Debating
lidward Little achieved its primary aim in the debating held in l93O-l93l.
The season was a success. Not, perhaps, in the number of interscholastic victories,
for there were noneg but in the development of real debaters that are, and in
future years will be. a credit to lfdward Little.
The question for debate was, Resolved that: "The chain store is detrimental
to the best interests of the ,Xmerican public." This chain store problem proved
to be an interesting subject, both from an economical and social standpoint. .lean
Murray and liernard Mann, with Frederick Spear as alternate, did fine work for
the affirmative while Charles Pomeroy, l'aul Sullivan, and alternate, Clarence
Hehert, did equally as well for the negative.
Coach john Manning arranged the work that interest would be high until the
last moment, lly his unfailing energy and abundance oi good humor. Mr. Man-
ning kept the old pep and fire among the workers and became admired by every
member of the debating teams.
Three interscholastic debates were held, the opposing schools being Lewiston,
Huckheld, and Deering. In the preliminary round of the Hates League the jordan
lligh negative team defeated the lf. L. allirmative 2-l in a close battle, which took
place in Moulton Hall. On the same night liuckfield High School gained a 3-O
decision over the lfdvvard Little negative team. ln this debate llaul Sullivan was
adjudged best speaker. The hnal tilt saw the li. L. negative team meeting Deer-
ing lligh at Deering in a no-decision debate.

Our Senior Drama, "Skidding", scored a big hit before the enthusiastic audi-
ences that witnessed it April 23-24 in Moulton Hall. The success of the produc-
tion demonstrated the ability and hard-work of the cast, committees, and coaches.
"Skidding" is a take-off on the modern life of an Idaho family. Judge Hardy
is up for renomination to the bench. When his married daughters, Estelle and
Myra, leave their husbands and come home, Mrs. Hardy walks out on them all.
Marion Hardy, just home from an eastern college, campaigns for her father
unsuccessfully and ends up in becoming a candidate for the legislature. When
Wayne Trenton Ill, a young engineer to whom she is engaged, objects to her
political career, they quarrel and many amusing situations follow.
The leading male role, that of Wayne Trenton III, was commendably acted
by Harold Chaplin. His part was a difficult one and did not afford ample oppor-
tunity for his obvious dramatic ability.
Helen Buker displayed unusual talent as Marion Hardy. Her role had many
long and sometimes emotional lines that she executed in such a manner that made
you feel it was the real thing.
Malcolm Dunlap had the house roaring with the antics of Andy Hardy. On
several occasions during the performance the rest of the cast would have to pause
until the laughter died down, because of some remark or caper sprung by Andy.
Pa and Ma was well done by Richard Barstow and Betty Fosdick. It is not
known yet whether Pa has impressed it upon Ma's mind that an election and
nomination are not one and the same.
Charlotte McKenney, as outspoken Aunt Millie, cleverly played her part.
Estelle and Myra, the two married daughters of the Hardy family who changed
their minds and changed them again and still some more, were none other than
June Sawyer and Elinor Kimball.
WVilbert Filield is well fitted for the role of Oscar Stubbins, the political
schemer. Boy, how that fellow muzzles his Blackstone!
Grampa Hardy, a right spry gent of the old school, was admirably played by
Clarence Hebert.

Back in '27 a group of students decided that it was not fitting for five or
six hundred students to be in such close association together without a news-
paper and a record of the current news of the day. Station E. L, H, S. was
the result.
The five years of the paper's existence has been a period of continual
development. This year the Station has reached its peak, and the staff has
placed in circulation editions of a newspaper that vies with those of any sec-
ondary school in the state.
The chief objective of the staff is perhaps the rewards received from the
journalistic Conference, which is annually sponsored by the University of
Maine. The Station won second place honors in state-wide competition.
The South Portland High Echo was adjudged First place winner. Manager
Oliver and Ifditor Sullivan represented the Station at the Orono convention.
This marks the third time out of a possible five that the Station has placed
in the newspaper contest.

For seven years the Senior Dramatic Club has been the chief stimulus behind
Edward Little dramatic activity. This organization gives the student not only
an opportunity to display his dramatic talent, but also a chance to develop his
ability. Members serve as coaches. stage managers, etc., as well as actors.
During the course of the year plays and playets are staged by this group. ,Xs
a rule these productions are put on at the monthly meetings of the club. but occa-
sionally they appear before assemblies or even before organizations not connected
with the school. 'Ilhe programs this year included an address by Professor Robin-
son of Bates College, a skit entitled "The Ghost Story", and other presentations.
,Xn idea of the important place the Dramatic Club holds in li. L. dramatics
may be gleaned by considering its association with the Senior Drama. lt is a
significant fact that every member of the cast for "Skidding" is also a member of
the clubi

school sessions begin in the morning a student may be seen in Charge. Not only
must he have a knowledge of the library but also he must be a disciplinarian. As
well as aiding in carrying on the library, the members are afforded excellent
experience through their service.

At the beginning of the 1929-1930 school year a group of students felt the
necessity for a literary organization, the result being the junior Literary Society.
The personnel of the club was restricted to the junior class alone. .-Xt the end of
last year these members, cognizant of the fate of all past attempts to establish a
literary society at E. L.. drafted some twenty-live or thirty Sophomores to con-
tinue the good work. These latter students have carried on in an excellent manner.
making the foundation sound as Gibraltar, as it is sometimes put.
During the course of the year the members of the society submit reports and
criticisms of books which they have read. and often open forums on literature and
authors are on the club's calendar. Dramatics also comes in for its share of con-
sideration, These last few months of the year have been devoted to studying
plays and staging two or three short dramas,
Miss Pennell, under whose supervision the club was founded and is now con-
ducted, is fZlCL1lly advisor.
The work accomplished by the society has proved to be of great value in
English courses and it also is an aid to students who are interested in pursuing the
study of English farther than the high school course affords.

The Home Economics Club is one of the distinctive organizations of
Edward Little and fast becoming more prominent in school life. The pur-
pose of the club is to interest the girls in Home Economics work and to give
them advantages in a social way.
This year the club has accomplished a number of notable things. doing
good for others. A drive was held to sell E. L. pins for the express pur-
pose of promoting school spirit: books were attractively wrapped and given
to the hospital at Christmasg scrap books were also made and sent to the
hospital: the club sold wreaths at Christmas time to make lidward Little
appear festive. A lecture was sponsored with Dean Wallace of Nasson Insti-
tute as speaker. Under the auspices of this organization a tea was given
to members of the faculty preceding their meeting. and members gave papers
at the XYomen's Literary Lnion, The club also sent XYinifred Coburn and
Dorothy Tebbets as delegates to the State Home Economics Convention held
in Augusta in May.
One important feature of the club calendar was the securing of a club
room in the high school. This is the first time that an organization has been
so honored.

Some two years ago. about eight high school boys assembled at the .-Xuburn
Y. Bl. C. A.. with llireetor S. Arnold Calahan to eonsider the formation of a
boys' club. Upon deciding to form a elub for high school boys, this handful of
youths met every Xlondav evening during the sehool session. .Xt hrst no name
was given to the elub. but finally, as they had planned it, it became one of the
hundreds of Hi-Y Clubs thruout the United States,
The first year these charter members laid out their plans as best they could,
drew up a constitution, and took in a few carefully selected members. The tirst
president was Albert Oliver, lf. l.,, TSO, and viee-president, James Oliver, E. lv.,
'3l.
'llo arouse enthusiasm and provide entertainment, speakers were secured for
at least one meeting' a month.
ln September. 1030. the boys met, after their summer vacation, to elect new
ollieers, bring in new members. and make plans for the coming year. David
XYhitehouse was elected president and james Oliver was re-elected viee-president.
.-X dehnite initiation was adopted and several meetings were devoted to bring-
ing in new members. ln less than a year and a half. the club jumped from eight
members to forty. Now it was one of the outstanding Clubs in the Y. M. C. .'X.
and high school. .Xt the Boys' Conference of 1030, it was found that the Auburn
Ili-Y was the largest and most progressive club in the state.
A deputation team of about ii ve boys was formed which went' about to different
churches putting on Sunday serviees. This team has also appeared before the
Kiwanis and Lions Clubs.
During this past winter. the elnb has become well known thru its successful
basketball team. 'Ilhe lli-Y'ers are now planning to bring a boy from some
foreign eountrv to the lYorld lioys' Conferenee in Canada this summer.

The Edward Little Orchestra has held a prominent place in the scheme of
musical instruction for many years. Participation in the activities of the orchestra
is elective, and credits are given to deserving members.
This year has produced a fine group, which has an enrollment of twenty-Eve
members. The orchestra has a policy similar to that of the band in regard to
public appearances. On several occasions select groups of the orchestra play on
501116 school or even some outside program. At the joint musicale of jordan
High and Edward Little music clubs. the E. L. orchestra in its entirety made an
excellent appearance and received generous praise for its work.

The E. L. H. S. Band of 1930-1931 has maintained the standard set by Edward
l.ittle bands of the past. 'Ilhe group is composed of some 30 members and meets
an hour each week for rehearsal. Both boys and girls take part in the activities
of the band. Most of them furnish their own instruments with the exception of
the usual ones which are provided by the school.
Besides giving its members a chance to get together the band plays in public
II good deal. This past year it has furnished football games with that 'Lcolor"
that is so desired, and it has played for assemblies on numerous occasions. ln
May it was one of the music clubs to appear in the Jordan High-Edward Little
joint musicale.
Last fall the band sent three of its number, James Oliver, Nelson Record, and
Russell Gilman, to llangor to play in the State of Maine Band before the assembly
of the teaeher's convention.

Ffdward Little's Glee Clubs have established an enviable record this year,
and have merited a place among the cream of Glee Clubs of Maine secondary
schools. The Consolidated Girls' Glee Club consisting of sixty-two voices
won the sectional contest at Augusta and then the finals at VVaterville sym-
bolic of the State Championship. This group made a fine appearance and greatly
impressed those who heard it.
The up and coming' Sophomore class has reason to be proud of its Girls'
Glee Club. The club did a lion's share, as the saving' goes, of the work in
the "Pirates ol' Penzance" production-and did it well. lieingf in trim by
their recent training' in junior High, the Sophomores sailed into this new
enterprise and came through with colors flying.
Louise Cobb was a delightful surprise as Mabel, the youngest of General
Stanley? daughters. Having many solos and a large number of spoken parts,
the role was a difficult one. However, she played her part laudably and
impressed everyone with her sweet voice.
A large part of the choruses was made up from this club. The Sopho-
mores held up the tradition set by last year's club through their strong
support.

The present .lunior class was the first to have the privilege of having a
separate Glee Club when they were Sophomores. Last year the number
enrolled for tllee Club membership was so large that it was found necessary
to make a separate group of the Sophomores while the Juniors and Seniors
remained in the original organization. This year the enrollment exceeded
that of all previous years. making the formation of still a third girls' club
imperative.
The same talent that showed up so well last year again came to the front
for the opera. Barbara Cole was very captivating as Frederick. the young
pirate apprentice. She did very fine work in her acting as well as her singing.
Phyllis Robinson as Ruth was also an outstanding character and showed
great ability in portraying a difficult role. Selma Shapiro and Florence Libby
figured as two of the fiCl1Cl'3l,S many daughters. Hilda Gray certainly looked
a most formidable character as the leading pirate. The Juniors also had
their quota in the choruses.
VVe hear that the junior Club is a group of fine musicians. At least, so
Mr. Pitcher tells the Senior girls.

Since "Chorus" has been removed from the Edward Little curricula the
afternoon music activities have become all the more popular. The Senior
girls meet once a week for an hour to participate in the activity of their Glee
Club.
The Senior girls made a line showing in the opera and displayed unusually
fine talent. Five of the leading roles in "The Pirates of Penzance" were
taken by members of this club. The dramatic ability as well as the quality
of voice displayed by Madeline Kimball, the Pirate King, was certainly excel-
lent for high school talent. Doris Windle was also effective as the Major
General. Her imitation of a pompous Englishman was humorous indeed.
Mildred Deloche showed extraordinary skill both in her interpretation of her
role as Sergeant of Police and as a poet. Her witty recital of a basketball
game was well fitted to her song entitled "A Policeman's lot is not a happy
one". The other characters, Doris Howe and Dorothy McKay, played the
parts of Samuel and Isabelle commendably. The work of Ruie Brooks as
pianist aroused the admiration of all those who heard her exceptional playing.
Most of the members of this Senior club were in one of the three choruses
and should be congratulated on their splendid showing and cooperation.

The Music Appreciation Class is all that the name implies, for the objective of
the organization is to create or to develop, as the case may be, an appreciation of
music-good music-among those students who weekly participate in the meetings
of this class, For years Music Appreciation has been a popular elective course
with Edward Little students, not only for the credits gained but for the musical
knowledge derived from the classes. ,
Under the guiding baton of Mr. Pitcher the members take up the noted operas
and classical airs, and the maestros of the cult who composed them. As in all
of Mr. Pitcher's classes the old pep and fire is ever present. The large numbers
who yearly come out for the class are proof enough, it it were needed, of the
popularity of Mr. Pitcherls classes.
The Music Appreciation Class is accomplishing a great thing. lt gets us
away from the jazzy stutt that the so-called modern crop of musicians seems
content to play. This jazz element has its injurious effects, which we can, in part,
erase, by instilling in our minds an appreciation of the classical.

For the iirst time in the history of Edward Little an opera was staged with
an all-girl cast. The Work chosen for reproduction by Mr. Pitcher was Gil-
bert and Sullivan's noted "Pirates of Penzance". The score was arranged
by Miss Gladys Pitcher, daughter .of Mr. Et S. Pitcher, our music director.
Mr. Pitcher spent considerable time and labor in the rehearsals, making
the production a great success. The leading characters were exceptionally
well portrayed and those playing them deserve every bit of praise they
received. '
The stage was attractively arranged with charming scenery that furnished
a fitting background for the brilliant costumes. In addition to this, the light-
ing eifects, the orchestra, the acting, and singing--all in all, combined to
make the presentation sparkling in every sense of the word.
Not only was the actual participating done by girls, but also the managing.
With the assistance of Mr. Pitcher, Miss Pennell, Miss Huskins, Miss Pierce,
Mr. Yeaton, and Mr. Bryant, several committees of girls carried on the busi-
ness end of the production. Barbara Leadbetter with Frances Cartland and
Margaret Gardner as aides was manager. The costumes were under the
charge of Edna Canham, Phyllis jones, and Beatrice Hurley, while Dorothy
Tebbets and Edith jordan made arrangements for scenery and stage decora-
tions. Jean Murray was publicity director.
The performance was greatly enjoyed by those taking part and those who
were spectators.
A great deal of credit is due Mr. Pitcher for his untiring work in every
phase of the production of this well known opera.

For the third successive season Edward Little was represented on the gridiron
by a winning cluster of football men. The Red Eddies copped five tilts, dropped
two, and tied one, for the year's work.
The Ghosts opened the schedule with Lawrence High of Fairfield at Triple
A Park. In a listless game the Eds rolled over Lawrence 19-0. The following
week VVilton was humbled 26-7 by the Red squadron. Coach Dwelley gave the
second string men a chance in this game, keeping them in action more than half
of the playing time. Thornton Academy of Saco was the next to take it on the
chin from the Dwelleymen. Captain Daunis snared a pass intended for a Thorn-
ton receiver, and galloped 75 yards for an E. L. touchdown to aid his team turn
back the Sacoites 9-6. T his victory marked the seventeenth straight grid romp
for dear old E. L.
Waltzing through these three opponents on the long en-d of the score in each
encounter, the Raging Reds took the field against the Blue Devils in quest of the
third straight inter-city championship and their eighteenth straight scalp. After
a terrific battle the Vaillancourt-Daunis forward passing combination again came
to the fore to salt a 6-0 victory in the closing minutes of play.
What was perhaps the greatest of surges that Edward Little grid teams had
ever staged was dramatically capped when Cony of Augusta tripped up the Red
machine by a 12-0 score. The Red Ghosts put up a brave defense, but were forced
to succumb under a more powerful, shifting attack of the Augustans. Time and
again the Red Eddie forward line held like a stone wall, but Cony had the scoring
punch to push two touchdown over the stripe and thus carry away the most bitter
classic that Triple A Park has seen for many a moon.
Next on the docket the Eds dropped a mud battle to Deering 12-6. The team
put up a rugged fight against the Purple warriors, but it just wasn't in the cards
for them to win. The Dwelleymen next stacked up with Bangor High, coached
by our former mentor, "Swede" Mulvaney. The verdict was never in doubt, as
the Red Eddies constantly penetrated Bangor territory and held their adversaries
well in check. The final score was E. L. 7g Bangor 0.
The team wound up the season in a blaze of glory, fighting the Lewiston Blue
Devils to a 0-0 tie before a throng of 3,000 at A.A.A. Park. However, the Ghosts
clinched the twin-city crown by virtue of that 6-0 scrap earlier in the season.
At the conclusion of the schedule letters were awarded the following men:
Captain Daunis, Brogan, Vaillancourt, Steward, Hubbard, Captain-elect Jordan,
Spencer, Yakawanis, Richards, Shulman, R. Capano, Gauthier, lfViswell, Adams,
Darling, Graffman, and Manager Bean.
These men elect Jerry Jordan to captain the 1931 Red Ghosts and Leo Vaillan-
court as honorary captain. Vaillancourt will have passed the age limit by next
fall, so his team mates, wishing to respect his stellar work in the backfield. created
this new captaincy.

The 1930-1931 basketball season will go down in history as one of Edward
Little's best. ln regular season play the Red Eds won ten and lost four. In
tournament competition the Ghosts played six out of a possible six games.
Four were E. L. victories.
VVith only a few experienced vets back from the 1929-30 team Head Coach
Taylor and Assistant Coach Masterman started grooming the basketball
quintet for the 1930-1931 schedule.
After a week's practice the first game was on tap. The Eddies sunk the
scrappy Jay team by the score of 46-27. During Christmas week the team
rolled over the favored Alumni team 38-18. The fans then began to sit up
and take notice of the Raging Reds who gave promise of going places. The
gym was well filled at the next tilt, which saw the Mexico Pintos as the invad-
ing aggregation. The Auburn quintet developed into a defensive club and
held the up-river squad to 12 points while they were garnering 25 for them-
selves.
Next on the docket Swede 1Vlulvaney's Bangor live visited the E. L. to
combat the Taylormen. After a thrilling duel the Eddies were nosed out
23-20.
The Blue Devils from Lewiston then marched into the shoe city confident
of victory. After three sizzling hot periods the Red five cut loose to come
out on the long end of a 24-16 sqre and a good start on the twin-city Hag,
The next week found the lfddies in Bath for the first out-of-town scrap. Our
boys came back with another scalp tied to their belts. This to the tune of
25-20. The Taylormen then proceeded to administer a 27-22 lacing onto the
Stephens High Panthers of Rumford.

The following night an old feud was revived when the Fitzpatrick-coached
machine of Portland and the Raging Reds clashed at the Portland High
"cheese-box". VVhen the smoke of battle had cleared the Blue cluster was
ahead by the slim margin of one point, the score being 29-28. The condition
of the players at the conclusion of this tussle brought to light the often
expressed fact that two games' in as many nights is too great a tax on the
strength of a team.
The attention of fans was next focused on the second Edward Little-
Iordan High fracas. VVith the Eddies conceded favorites to win, a handicap
in itself, the Blue of Lewiston emerged victorious in the last few seconds of
play 21-19. Morse paid a return visit to Auburn, but were dumped by the
score of 30-19. The following week the Eds were "snowed under" 33-20 at
the hands of Mulvaney's crew after an eventful trip to the Queen City.
Three days later the Hnal inter-city skirmish was staged to decide the
Calumet Trophy winner. The Eddies displayed plenty of punch in turning
back the Blue horde 25-23 in a spectacular game that kept the fans on edge
the entire four periods. The schedule was brought to a close as the Raging
Reds set back Rumford 40-26 at the Panther den.
Eddies in Bates and New England Tourneys
Clicking perfectly the Auburn delegation lambasted the Deering High
troupe 29-18 in the first game of the tournament. In the semi-final round
the Ghosts were stacked against Cheverus, an undefeated team. Playing
stellar basketball that bordered on the sensational the Eddies set back the
Fighting Irish 29-23.
Then came the finals---Auburn vs. South Portland. A good Caper team
came out on top 34-25 after a bitter struggle. The Eddies did not go clown
in vain. A beautiful trophy symbolic of second place was won as well as the
respect of everyone who saw the Eds play.
Edward Little was invited to send the team to the New England Tourney
at Newport. Rhode Island. Here the Ghosts exhibited a marvelous display
of basketball and upset the dope bucket in the first encounter by downing
Ringe Tech of Cambridge 25-18. They almost gave Mr. Fuller Dope
another jolt but Hnally lost out 18-16 to the tourney favorites in a heart-break-
ing semi-final game.
The "Fighting Eddies", as they were dubbed by Rhode lsland sport writ-
ers, closed the year by trimming Northampton. champs of VVestern Massa-
chusetts, 20-18 in a thrilling battle. This victory assured Auburn of third
place and a huge cup for the school.
Captain Paul Brogan and Leo Vaillancourt were the outstanding players
of the season. Both made the All-Bates-Tourney team. Bronco's high spot
was grabbing the ball from the back-board and slapping it through the strings.
Vaillancourt's specialties were long shots. dribbling, and advancing the ball
up the court. Frankie Daunis rose to great heights in the New England
Tourney, holding his man well in check. Monk Cloutier gave a real showing
of the E. L. fight in each game he plaved. Charlie Wilkizis has not met his
superior when it comes to speed on the polished court. Duane Nichols cer-
tainly filled in well at either forward or center. He played a steady game all
season and was elected to captain the Red and Wliite forces next season.
Lonnie Adams was the understudy at guard and he lived up to his reputation
in great style. McCarthy saw some action at forward as did Gauthier at
center and VViswell at guard.

Hockey
Despite reports at the opening of the season to the effect that Edward l,ittle
would not be represented by a sextet in the puck sport, the Athletic Advisory
Board, prompted by agitation aroused by li. l.. student hockey enthusiasts. voted
to revive the popular ice sport.
.ln the games Coach Manning followed the plan of the late Knute Rockne by
starting his shock troops. 'llhis idea was carried out throughout the entire season
and worked very well. In the major conflict the Red Ghosts and Blue Devils
collided at the A. S. ID. Arena. ln a sizzling game the Red lcebirds were finally
nosed out 3-2 after two overtime periods had been played. The team wound up
the season with tive victories and three defeats.
Coach Manning deserves a lot of credit for moulding such a Fine team out of
the few but promising candidates who reported for practice. The team certainly
reflects a great deal of credit on his untiring efforts.
Chuck Poirier was the outstanding scorer of the Red Eds. He chalked up 12
goals and made 2 assists, which was more points than any other twin-city high
school player scored. liilodeau and Hachey teamed up well with Poirier to con-
stitute the first front line. Myrick starred for the second line with "XYhata"
Mann and Daly the other two members of the shock troops.
Un the defense Don Hubbard and Lonnie Garcelon did most of the work.
lt sure was some iob for the opposition. to get around or by this pair. YVhen
this did happen they ran into another stumbling block, and this was in the person
of Cliff lfields, erstwhile goalie. XN'hen a goal was registered against the liddies
you can bet your last dime that it was an earned score. Cush Abbott and XYindle
saw some action on the defense, as did Duke Abbott. Field's understudy.

An election of officers resulted in the following' selections: President, Paul
XYebster lleang Secretary. .Xrthur Cummingsg Treasurer. David XYhitehouse.
The boys studied "dry shooting" during the first three Weeks. Then the
Lewiston Armory was offered to the cluh for practice. Every Tuesday night the
members meet at the .'Xrmory. Targets are being shot and qualifications for
rank as Pro-marksman, Klarksman. Sharpshooter, and degrees for lfxpert Marks-
man are being' sent in to the National Rifle Association offices as rapidly as pos-
sible. livery week finds at least one lf. l.. rifler qualifying for one of these ranks.
.Xt this writing Donald Gauthier has already qualified as a sharpshooterg six
members as lfirst class marksmeng l5 as marksmeng and 20 as pro-marksmen.
,Ns yet two matches have been held with Yarmouth, the champions of the
Portland district. 'l'he Ecldies haye copped both matches, the hrst by Z1 score
of 223-201. and the second by 243-190. 'llhe club is arranging for shoot-offs
with such schools as Cony, llangor, and l"ortlancl.
The boys are shooting in Class ll and in their first shoot placed about fifteenth.
Since then they have crept gradually up the ladder and in the fourth match they
were only four points behind the leaders. The Eds registered a classy 478 out
of a possible 500 in this last shoot-oft.

As we go to press the E. L. track team piles up 575 points to cop a four
cornered meet held in Brunswick. The three other schools competing are Stephens
High of Rumford, Brunswick. and Morse of Bath. Charlie Wlilkins hogs the
limelight, scoring 23 of Edward Little's points.
The Eddies are best fortified in the running events with several fine prospects
including XYilkins. Drake. Foss, Nichols, XVindle, and Hall. In the New Hamp-
shire games Wilkiiis did the 100 in 10 l-10 seconds, which is going some for a
high school spiked shoe artist. Drake won both the half and mile in the Bruns-
wick meet. VVill Foss specializes in the 440, while "Spook', VVindle and Dick
Hall figure in either the 880 or mile.
In the jumps VVilkins and Scribner have shown the best to date. "Brute"
Yakawanis and Morris Shulman do the bulk of the point garnering in the weights,
but VVilkins can heave the javelin. shot. and discus with no mean ability. Again
in the pole vault Charlie is Dwclley's best bet.

Tennis
The Crimson and White tennis season opened with about twenty candidates
reporting to Captain Ken VVhitman. After a hard scrap for positions it was
announced that Capt. Xlhitman, Cush Abbott, a veteran of last year, Eddie Abbott,
a find from Xllebster, Jimmie Phillips, and Chet Bixby had made the regular team.
VVith only three days of practice under their belts the Eds entertained Cony
High of Augusta. Although we lost by a 2-1 score the new men showed much
promise of developing into a dangerous quintet that will bear watching.
The schedule includes games with Cony, Farmington Normal. Skowhegan, and
Vllilton. Games with Deering and Portland are pending.
Tennis is not recognized as a major sport at Edward Little. However, the
racquet wielders practice hard and long, and deserve some insignia for their ser-
vices. The boys have laid their cards on the table, and it has been decided that
letters will be awarded to the winner of a stated quota of matches.

At this writing the E. L. pastimers are hitting a fast pace and bode no good
to the opponents who are unfortunate enough to be on the remaining part of the
schedule. Coach Dave Masterman has whipped a great nine into shape from
the three lettermen available from last yearg a team that has won six of its first
seven tilts. Victories include wins over Livermore Falls. Berlin High, Hebron
Reserves, and Farmington. The one defeat was at the hands of Lisbon Falls
when the Eds apparently had an off-day from their usual stride.
Dave's main task was to develop a pitching staff to fill the shoes vacated by
Johnny Clements and Pat Wfhirley. This he did in grooming Chuck Poirier and
Jimmie McCarthy, two mound artists who will toe the slab next year as well as
this. These boys have something in common as both are adept in the science of
striking out opposing batsmen. Chuck whiffed fifteen in a single game, while
seventeen Farmington sluggers took the count against Jimmie's smoke.
Don Gauthier holds down first base, Lonnie Adams the keystone sack, Leo
Vaillancourt the shortstop post, and Bilodeau third. Red Arnold, Hachey, and
Reidman cavort in the outfield. Art Shires, alias Captain Monk Cloutier, is behind
the bat for his third season.

Girls' RiHe Club
Undaunted by the forming of the Boys' Rifle Club, the girls of Edward
Little were caught by the rifle fever and so appropriately formed a elub of
their own. known as the E. L. Girls' .lunior Rifle Club. Although this club
is one of the newest of our organizations, it has made rapid headway and is
proving unusually popular among' the marlcsladies of the school.
The club is one of over two thousand active shooting organizations of the
National Rifle Association.
Membership pins have been received by the Fifty odd charter members.
The club was organized by Ralph Wagg, an Edward Little alumnus, who
serves as rifle instructor.
Emphasis has been laid on the safe and sane handling of Fire arms. the
girls not being allowed to handle loaded rides until they have passed through
a routine of so-called "dry-shooting".
The Girls, Qlunior Rifle Club has the makings of a hne organization. It is
hoped that the good work will eontiuue and an .Xl club developed that will
put Edward Little on the map, riilery speaking.

The 1930-1931 Year of Sport
Athletically speaking. the school year of 1930-1931 has been prolific for
Edward Little. The realm of E. L. sport has made a big jump this past year
and has placed the Edward Little scheme of athletics on par with that of
any school in the state.
During the year two sports, riflery and golf. have been introduced to
E. L. sportdom. Besides these two we have football, basketball, hockey,
tennis, track and baseball. Eight sports constitute a full program for any
high school to promote.
In each of these sports Edward Little has been represented by a success-
ful team. For the third consecutive season the Red Eddies of the gridiron
put a dynamic aggregation on the field that annexed its third straight inter-
city championship. The basketball quintet mowed down thirteen of its
eighteen opponents including four teams in the Bates and New England
Tournaments. In hockey the Eds came out on the right side of the ledger,
the pucksters copping live and losing three encounters. The Riiie Club in
its first season produced several marksmen of high caliber and backed a
varsity team that cleaned up every shoot-off on its schedule. Dave Master-
man's horsehide swatters have tripped up seven of their first nine opponents.
The tennis and golf teams got off to slow starts, but at this writing they
shape up as two fighting competitors worthy of the steel of any adversary
they may oppose. The Red and Wihite of the cinders placed fourth in the
New Hampshire meet and won a four cornered meet against Brunswick,
Bath, and Rumford. The tracksters are due to place well up in the Bates
and Maine games.
This spring between 150 and 200 boys were actively engaged in some
form of sport. This figure comprises about of all the boys enrolled in
the school. Such support points in the direction of policies similar to the
widely broadcast Pennsylvania Plan. Athletics for all is the watchword
of such schemes. These plans are generally restricted to colleges and uni-
versities. But Edward Little, in broadening the scope of its sport curricula
and developing the present status of athletics, is accomplishing this very motive.
There are those who say that Edward Little is trying to do too much and
that the present program of sport will go askew. We hold no brief for such
criticism. When a school can extend competitive athletics to H3 of its num-
ber-for the extension of athletics is the primary purpose of sport-and still
remain financially solvent, that school is doing the right thing. High school
sport should never be a get-rich "racket", but it should be an activity of
the school supported by the students and for the students.

Dissertation on Chewing Gum
CEd. Note: After extended dickering the ORACLE has prevailed upon Miss June Sawyer
to divulge her extra secret process for the benefit of her public. In the following expose
Miss Sawyer unravels her Wriglev's and tells those would-be's how to get that way.D
Perhaps the best thing about chewing gum is that it requires no practice, skill,
or training whatsoever. You simply take a stick of this sugared delicacy between
the thumb and forelinger. eye it longingly until your mouth reaches the watery
stage, then unclamp your jaws and take a bite. Some prefer the pleasant sensa-
tion of poking the entire stick in the mouth at once, as the feeling of such a large
amount satisfies some animal instinct embedded deep within us.
I myself prefer the biting method-ah, what bliss it is to take one morsel of-
say "VVrigley's Doublemintl'-so tender-if the stuff is fresh-and let your eager
teeth close upon it once, twice, and then again, until its size and sweetness are
reduced somewhat. Now is the time to open your mouth again, leaving only half
the stick, say, after this biteg and continue thus, until you have safely corralled it
all and are ready to truly begin.
Roll the tangy little cud into a new position-perhaps on the other side of the
mouth-and squeeze through it with your uppers and lowers until they meet.
Do this again-perhaps a dozen times, when you are ready for another shift-did
you ever have such a pleasurable feeling of satisfaction? Keep this up until the
whole process becomes automatic-you are sure to be a confirmed gum-hound by
now.
One of the beauties of the practice is the charming effect it has on one's looks
and personal appearance. All of you, my dear readers, have at some time or other
in your lives, and probably frequently, seen one girl, or a group of two or three
young damsels, opening and closing their mouths, with a jerking, rolling move-
ment. You can't believe they are chewing-but, yes! on closer observance you
see that they are merely yanking gum. An understanding smile comes over your
face, and if perchance, you have put your inoffensive little cud under the last
table at which you sat, and-oh, horror of horrors-forgotten it-now is the
time to delve into your pocket and draw forth a new stick-square, sturdy little
fellow in his bright, shiny wrapper!
If you are in any doubt as to the htness of this practice, just go to any
theatre-preferable one of the lowest-priced ones-and in the midst of some
exciting scene, just glance around you. VVhy, it is astounding. Eight pairs of
jaws out of ten-who knows, perhaps even more will be working vigorously, as
if their life depended upon it-all this in the owner's supreme unconsciousness,
for his eyes are riveted on the silver screen.
There are some unfortunate souls-poor creatures of mankind-whose great
loss it is to be sadly hindered from chewing our precious gum. It seems that they
are weakened by it-feel deplorably empty around the region of the stomach-
especially near mealtime-if they indulge. Oh, Fate! Why dost thou wish
such wretchedness upon poor mortals?
,lust a word to students and job-hunters: If a student, never forget to take
your gum along with you to school, and be sure to save a stick for Teacher every
morning-yould be surprised at the drag it will give you with her! Nothing
below "Ns" from thence on! As for job-hunters, never leave your gum at home
either, for don't forget, the best thing you can do when ushered into the big
bossis presence is to yank at the old gum for all you're worth-you'll land a job
before he even says a word and he's sure to ask for a stick-so have one ready.
It never fails! This is from one who knows!

Under the tawny light of Italian skies
VVhere the calm river Mincio slowly flows
Lies Mantua, a peaceful little town,
XV hose verdant fields slope gently up and down.
As morning's Hrst gleaming ray
Spreads like molten gold over land and sea
lVe1come day! Then, a spontaneous light, it bursts and beams,
Lifting the world from dark thoughts and sullen dreams.
Here, on this day, was born one whose deeds '
Were destined to endure throughout all time,
Defied through ages to a height sublime!
His words spelled destiny to countless men
Until at last The Renaissance brought dark ages to an end.
Apollo has driven his chariot to the topmost crescent of the sky
Blazing in noontide glory on all the earth
To comfort all whose true souls yearn and cry
For an invisible, sanctified knowledge of worth.
Queen Elizabeth's reign, in gorgeous array,
Moulded the classics with the English tongue to stay
Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Beacon only can go down
As having gained their knowledge from the ancient writers

As the glowing dawn still comes from age to age
So appears his reflections of life -to awaken youth,
Console white hairs, and make wise many a sage.
Like the noon day sun they reign supreme,
Never shall a sunset glow rest upon his immortal dream.

On Swimming the First of june
The winter finds us looking with longing to the time when again we may take
a swim. No matter how cold the March day may be we still can feel the delicious,
cool, soothing water splash about our warm bodies. The first of June Ends us
bordering on a serious mental condition. We must have a swim! Wheii we can
stand it no longer we hint around until some kind soul, pestered to death, cranks
up the old Ford and carries us to some neighboring pond. But a strange thing
has happened. The nearer we approach our destination, the more the fun of
swimming depreciates. The day seems suddenly bitter, the wind chills us to the
marrow. If it were not for being ridiculed, we would be weakly tempted to turn
back and wait a week or so more. But this never happens. VVith our sinking

courage. our mettle rises. lVe will have that swim if we are carried home a
cold, stiff corpse. In fact we can almost see weeping friends and relatives lament-
ing over our untimely death.
Putting aside such gloomy thoughts we strive to reach a cheerful state of
mind as We struggle into our bathing suits. faded from last summer's suns. At
length we are ready for the stupendous, yet longed for, event. As we approach
the shore perhaps some kind observer will look at us as if we were mentally defi-
cient and say, "What! Going swimming this weather?"
Now the approved way of entering the water for the first time is to plunge
in all over. Yet, somehow we can not bring ourselves to do this. Suppose such
a sudden change should affect the heart? Such a way would never do. So we
stand there shivering and cautiously test the temperature by dabbling with our
toe. Heavens! It's even icier than we imagined! VVe thrust our foot in a
little farther and hastily withdraw it. At length. remembering that our ancestors
came over in the Mayflower. our great grandfather in the Civil War, we plunge in
heroically in the name of the family honor. It's great! Really warmer in than
out. .Xll former fears forgotten. we splash about, and try our favorite dive.
We are loath to leave it now. At length, laughing gleefully, we patter up the
beach to our bath house, extremely proud of ourselves and of the fact that we
can say to our friends the next day, "Haven't been in swimming yet? I have.
It's not cold at all."
HELEN RICHARDSON
"The Sea"
Oh! for the wild, yet peaceful sea!
Down to the shore it's calling me!
The roaring surf,
The booming tide,
Flashing and foaming in ev'ry side!
VVould that I were so strong and free!
Out on the cold and solemn bay,
XVhite masted yachts sail on their way,
The ceaseless splash
Of ev'ry Wave
Roaring and humming as on the wave,
Seem but a laugh in every spray.
Ever and e'er shall the lonely sea,
Be as a close, close friend to me.
Its lonesome 'tone
E'er haunts my mind,
Nowhere a sweeter song can one find,
Than that of the wild, yet peaceful seal

The Race
As I went out of the Hall the other day, I saw a Mann with Brown over-
alls and a VVhite coat Filling his Ford with Kenney gasoline at a Booth just
back of the Baker shop.
He told me he was a Plummer from Poland, and had just come from the
Haigh where he had been sent to study the Rose Thorne of the Parks by
the Bishop of Brockman. He told me Howe he had crossed the Brooks in the
Littleheld, and by using his Bean had beaten the Cartwright of Pendleton,
who by his short Cummings had brought along his Child. He got lost in the
Wood and was found later by a Shepherd who lived in a field by the jordan.
He came sadly down the Churchill and found that he was the Winner of the
Pike's Peak Marathon. The Hayman, by getting Sudds in his eye while
Miliken, fell and tripped the Steward. A Ray of thought finally came to
him that everything was Devine and that he had broken the Record with
McKay Brogans on his feet.

"The Edward Little Way" in Debating
lt has been found in the past that training' in debating has proved a most
valuable asset to students after they leave high school. Of course, the success
of numerous graduates cannot be wholly attributed to debating, but it is signifi-
cant that many of those who were successful debaters in high school continued
their forensic activities after entering institutions of higher education.
Looking back in the debating annals of classes in the early nineteen-hundreds
we find the names of Henry Woodbury, '1.7, Howard .Bartlett, '19, Charles Star-
bird, '17, Philip Stevens, '18, Frances Field, '19, and Elton Young, '17.
Henry Woodbury and Elton Young were together on the Edward Little team
that won the Bowdoin League cup back in '17. Young now has a responsible
position as a teacher in Vermont. Howard Bartlett, who was a prominent figure
in debating circles, went through Dartmouth and is now an instructor in history
in the Institute of Technology. Charles Starbird was selected, while at Bates,
as a member of the first American team to travel through Europe on a debating
tour.
Among the stars of the '2O's, Erwin Canham, '21, is perhaps the most brilliant,
having as one of his latest achievements, the position as representative of the
Christian Science Monitor at the London Naval Conference. Mr. Canham and
Arthur Pollister, '20, while attending Bates, were both members of the inter-
national championship team in 1923.
Several other E. L. debaters of that period attained note-worthy success after
graduating. Ethel Manning, '22, was a member of the Bates International
women's team. Paul Williams, '21, was prominent in debating at Harvard and
is now a very successful lawyer in New York. Kenneth Field, '22, graduated
from U. of M. and now holds a responsible position as instructor in the University
of Illinois. Theodore Field, '25, his brother, had a brilliant career at john Hop-
kins University. Ralph Blagdon, '24, and Walter Hodsdon, '24, were prominent
figures in Bates debating.
Besides these there are the more recent, and perhaps better-known graduates
who took part in debating activities while at Edward Little. john Manning, '26,
has certainly done credit both to Bates and to Edward Little. Frank Murray, '27,
Lawrence Parker, '27, and Harrison Greenleaf, '28, have participated in several
inter-collegiate contests while at Bates. Helen Shapiro, '29, participated in the
Freshman Prize Debates. Albert Oliver, '30, is a member of the debating squad
at Bates, while Vincent Belleau, '28, is doing commendable work as a member of
the Student staff. Clayton Gray, '28, is attending Gordon Training School in
Massachusetts.
While not all of these students have actually continued debating after leaving
high school, the greater part of them have entered upon some held in which their
learning in debating has been a distinct advantage. Twice has Bates College.
famed for its debaters, received a commendatory write-up in first class current
magazines, and twice have at least two of the debaters mentioned been Edward
Little men. This is no small honor, considering the fact that these magazines
were none other than the Literary Digest and the American. Edward Little has
cause to be proud of the debaters. ' I ' .
Debating, as some people think, is not merely arguingg it is the art of setting
forth in a clear, adroit, and convincing manner the points which one has to prove.
From this process the debater receives excellent practice in quick-thinking, exact-
ness, and originality of expression, not to mention the wealth of knowledge on
national subjects which is acquired.

Winners of Senior Superlative Contest
To that busy. efficient leader, Betty Fosdick, goes the title of Miss 1931.
Betty proved that work wins a front seat in the end.
Miss "IT", our cheerful cheerleader and one certainly worthy of her title
is Dot VVindle. Ask Monk.
Annette Lelansky is the Venus of 1931. A slight defect in the application
of lipstick disqualified Betty Getchell and Myrtle Phillips, runners-up.
Our "leading lady". Helen Buker, is Most Popular.
Girls, if you can't heave your own rolling pins, ask Anna Cartwright, our
Best Athlete.
Elsie Gervais is the Class Baby: but who can say she has a baby mind?
No girl ever looked down on Barbara Leadbetter. so she is the Tallest
without question.
Helen XYebber and Helen Richardson battled for the honor of shortest.
Nobody felt like using a yardstick on them, so Miss VVebber won.
Florence Gervais had no challengers as Class Grind. although we don't
think studying is classed as indecent.
Ruth Johnson is Most Bashful, with Mabel Goding among the also rans.
lt's all right, girls. XYe are glad to know two women who don't talk too
much.
The style show was run with Betty Getchell and Louise Devine as models.
Betty won the title of Best Dressed.
Not even Miss Cornforth could conquer in a battle of the wits. Charlotte
Mclienney was proclaimed our VVittiest.
The Ballot-Box sez: Dorothea Bailey and Jean Murray are iirst and second
Best Pals.
Bernice NVoodbury vamped one man before Doris VVindle had a chance.
so Bobbie is Class Vamp.
Those who did not see the movie of a woman talking in Physics class
cannot realize the action taking place, when Evelyn Pottle out-talked June
Sawyer by two votes.
That cheerful grin gave Betty Fosdick the title of Best Natured. A close
follower up was that insoluble problem, Dot Windle.
VVhen in doubt. see Barbara Leadbetter or Florence Gervais, close and
worthy contestants for Most Brilliant girl.
GENTLEMEN THIS WAY
Two noble sons of Erin contested for the title of Mr. 1931. Paul Brogan
won, but the day would have been lost without considering Paul Sullivan
as second.
Vile have yet to see Ray Magno in a grouch, so we confer on him the
degree of Best Natured. Wliat on earth did Lonnie Adams get peeved over?
That big' strong Norseman from the South QNew Auburnj, Frankie
Daunis, is the Best Athlete. Those No. 9 mitts sure are winners.
Glen Torrey is the Baby, but Fred Mitchell questions this. If they will
tell us their ages. we'll settle it.
We will satisfy if we look anything like Lonnie Adams, Best Looking,
or the runner-up, George Haigh.

Kenneth Merrow is looked up to as the Tallest. We would be more at
peace if the yardstick was brought into play on Warren Eugley and Don
Russell.
As for the Shortest, it is probably a matter of heels between Fred Mitchell
and Ray Magno.
The problem of teachers and the resort of exhausted joke editors is Berg
nard Mann, the Wittiest. If you can't find him, see Mac Dunlap or Charlie
Krapovicky.
Caroll Taber seldom speaks, and Webster Bean speaks a little more.
Therefore Taber is Most Bashful.
Willard Higgins was hotly challenged by Paul Sullivan for the title of
Brightest. Hig wears silver glasses which shine more than those of the tor-
toise shell variety.
Mann out-gabbed Morris Siegel by two votes to be proclaimed Most
Talkative. Long may he rave!
It must be that George Haigh has enough ambition to press his own pants.
Anyway. he's the Best Dressed.
Vv'hat better pals, we ask you, than Ray Magno and Lonnie Adams?
VVell. maybe Ray is the Best of all.
Higgins copped the title of Class Grind from Nelson Record.
Again comes Paul Brogan, president and captain of this and that, as Most
Popular.
Last but not least comes the object of admiration of all members of the
weaker sexg son of the dance, Kenneth NVhitman, only claimant for the name
of Class Sheik.
Looking Back

Sophs includedj. One and all we patted ourselves on the back, marvelling that
such shallow craniums could circumscribe all we knew.
October-By this time we discovered that there was much empty space in our
small headsg plenty of room for cramming.
Certain mouths received close contacts in Room NS, and there wasn't any
muggin' either.

told the aspirants of the disappointments of golf in the hereafter.
Hot dogs were placed on sale on a much larger scale.

Money's XYorth". His eloquence was dubbed as "epic making" by experts of the
rostrum. The speaker was accorded an unprecedented round of applause fiapple
saucel.
Hubbard was left heartbroken after his first quarrel with Juliette, but no one
else got any breaks.
Juzzuary-A lot of New Years Resolutions made, and a lot more forgotten.
Bernard Mann. Esq., finally solved the mystery of the "Midnight Fire Alarm".

He was assisted in the dastardly deed by a Dramatic gang of adolescents. From

The Dying Call
The Amalgamated Bachelors' Union. Limited, Cto adolescents who have
not yet taken the leapl breathed a final dying' gasp sometime between the
1.930 junior-Senior and the closing oi the forms of the 1931 Oracle. The pass-
ing of the Union marks the beginning' of a new era at E. L., testing whether
that guy or this guy can long stand the gaff.
President Kenneth X. XVhitxnan was reticent when approached for a state-
ment by the Oracle reporter. So were all the Bachelors, from whose optics
aqua streamed by the buckets full. Not one of that bawling bunch of
bachelors could pull themselves together. until Aldon "Pete" Kaulakis
stepped forth from the gathering, and, dishing out a line of eloquence for
which he is renowned, said: "l5awl all you want to, you chicken-hearted
numskulls. It's .lake with me. I've reached the stage when I Kaul-a-kis a
kiss and a spade a spade. Down with the idea that 'to be a Bachelor is to be
everything'. Give me he-men who will gird their loins and sally forth to the
frav".
Swayed by the sheer eloquence of Brother Kaulakis, the Bachelors in
attendance voted unanimously to abandon the good ship, The Bachelors'
Union. The administrators of the estate. Brogan, Daunis, Sullivan, Cloutier,
etc.. announce a very select library for sale. The proceeds from this sale will
be used to remove chewing gum from the bottom of desks and to buy lunches
for 'Radiator Yamps with deflated pocketbooks. These books may be
obtained for the ridiculously low price of two bits a volume. A partial list
of the books for sale and their authors follows:

just think! Most of you rarely do, you lazy bunch of jellyfish. VVe
have in our midst a critic of the gridiron's best. Said critic has graciously
agreed to step forth and give his selections for The All-Time All American
Football Team, provided his name is not disclosed. tThis is done in order
to avoid the probable volley of over-ripe fruit-eggs. tomatoes. etc.J.
The above eleven is based on Mr. Blank's suggestions, He wished to
make it plain beyond a whisker of a doubt that he has judged not only by
the dimensions and reputations of the players but also a little on their
ability. In every case the choices were close because of the excellent mater-
ial to be found in this school. He also picked second, third, and fourth
teams, as well as the best organized group of water-boys you ever set your
eyes on. These are not printed for a good reason, but tl1at's not saying
they wouldn't bathe the best collegiate teams in this or any country.
The arguments for the selections are many. but as they would undoubtedly
wear you to a frazzle, we shall not start any argument. You are asked to
take the team for granted. And while on the subject of the team The Gracle
has the following to say: VVe'ye patted you on the back each year, but
just for now we're going to tell you where you get off. How many of you
have contributed one little drop to this football team? About Five percent.
maybe. Maybe moreg maybe less. Anyway it's a dern small number. The
team gets licked all fall. and what do you do but sit back and hee-haw. And
what does the team do but sit back, twiddle its thumbs, and get trampled in
the mud.

0 In 1492Awhen Christopher Columbus embarked from Spain in the good
: ship "Santa Maria" to End a new and shorter route to IndiaAhe set sail
2 on the most adventurous voyage ever recorded in history. Little did he
0 dream that he was to discover the vast new world which was to be
the future home of so many millions of people
Likewise in 1872, Montgome1'y Ward-when starting the first mail order
businessAembarked on an uncharted route in the world of commerce.
He did not foresee that the business he so modestly created would grow
to such great proportions: serving more than ten million families-one
. family out of every three in the entire United States-as
z Montgomery Ward E9 Co. does today.
