With sincere appreciation and thanks, we, the editorial staff and the senior class dedicate the Ship of i956 to you, the janitors. Your tireless patience, kindness, and hard work have made Presque lsle High School more comfortable and attractive for us to work and play in. With these few words, we hope to convey our thanks to you. ALL ABOARD! Our SHIP is taking us on an excursion this year. Only this excursion isn't by water to a far-away land, but instead, it is an Excursion through Education. We shall travel along the route of study, activities, and athletics which we have enioyed this past school year. As a travel bureau helps us plan a trip, so our faculty guides us in our course of study. Our map is our curriculum, drawn up by our faculty in order to lead us to our destination-a fuller life through education. We students, as passengers, have great opportunities to obtain much from this excursion. There is no excursion fare, only the giving of our best talents and resources to achieve the development of mind, spirit, and body today for a better world tomorrow. On our excursion we will find relaxation and recreation in the form of activities and athletics. These help us to achieve a well-rounded social life where we all can work, plan, and play together in close harmony. The seniors are the departing passengers on this voyage. Soon they'll be leaving the SHIP and will be charting their own courses through life. Here's to the seniors. May they never for- get the SHIP, those on board, and their excursion on it. Now it's All aboard, for a look through our SHlP'S log, which contains the story of an excursion through education from August 29, T955 to June I4, 1956. 3 l 3. 1 1 J fl-nf' .

What a dayl You couldn't ask for a better one in midfOctober. The air was a little crisp and the sky was a rich blue that can only be seen in Maine. The trees on the lawns of Presque Isle High School had felt the recent frosts, for the leaves had turned to a beautiful array of brown, red and yellow. Yes, it was good to be alive on a day such as this. School had iust started after a three week potato-harvest vacation. It was one- thirty in the afternoon and classes were once again in full swing. Music could be heard coming from the bandroom. Yes, all was normal. But wait! ls it? Miss Willy is calling over the public address system for Mr. Cunningham. Will Mr. Cunningham please come to the office quickly? In a very few minutes Mr. Cunningham came in. What is it, Miss Willy? There is a man on the phone who says he must speak to you immediately. He says it's a matter of life and death. Mr. Cunningham picked up the phone and talked about three minutes. He grew very pale. Suddenly he slammed down the receiver and made a dash for the public address system. This was when the school learned something very big was brewing. Will all chemistry and physics students please report to the chemistry lab immediately? he announced. Soon the lab was packed with bewildered students. Mr. Chamberlain looked more serious than any of them had ever seen him. Quiet pleasel Mr. Cunningham shouted. l iust received a call from Strategic Air Command. Flying saucers have landed in Nebraska. Lincoln has been demol- ished as have all towns and cities in that area. The Martians have evidently de- clared war on Earth. Regular guns will not kill them blut atomic guns will. However, the Armed Forces have their hands full now. They have called upon us to make these guns. We have the plans for them now. lf we all keep our heads we should be able to get this iob done quickly and efficiently. Bob Thompson wiped the sweat from his brow. The rest didn't move. Nlr. Cunningham continued: The material will be here in ten minutes. By that time everyone should be ready to go to work. Thirty minutes later the halls were filled with large boxes containing materials for the guns and small lead boxes filled with an atomic substance. Two men from the Air Force were there to instruct the work. Bob Thompson, Freeman Wood, and Joe Petakauskas were in charge of the atomic material. All three were wearing heavy asbestos suits with thin lead helmets. Albert Wachlin, Karen Michaud, and Larry Snell were to oversee the active building of the weapons. At five o'clock the first gun was completed including the atomic substance in it. It was a tube an inch thick and about two feet long with a bulge near the middle and a button on the short end. Freeman took it outside to test it. He aimed it at a tree and pushed the button. A thin blue ray of light shot out at the tree. There wasn't any noise but the bottom half of the tree disappeared and there was a hole a foot deep in the ground. Dick Howe had been watching through a window and fainted dead away. By eight o'clock that evening three hundred guns had been made. I V A- . Meanwhile, marty other students had volunteered their services. At six o'clock there were one hundred twelve students, uncrating, building, transporting, keeping records, and packing. K At twelve o'cIock midnight five hundred seventy-five weapons were completed. The Martians were making progress, too. They had reached Utah, Michigan, Alabama, Louisiana, and New York. Work in the atomic department had been slowed down since Bob Thompson had dropped some atomic material and received a severe burn. The hospital re- ported that he might have to have his right foot amputated. The strain of the work was showing considerablyp most of the girls and some of the boys had to stop they were so tired. Meanwhile the Martians drew nearer. By one-thirty in the morning seven hundred weapons were completed. Only fifty more had to be made. At two a.m. the project was finished. At six in the morning the Martians were turning. The atomic guns, many of which had been made by the loyal students of P.I.H.S., had won the war. The Martians, though, were not the only ones to suffer casualties. The strain of the terrific night's work had been too much for Mr. Cunningham. At twenty-three minutes after seven that morning, he succumbed to a heart attack. Another hero had given his life for his country. . by COLBY GRIFFIN PAJAMA PARTY Crash! Oh, that's all right, Phyllis, it was only a lamp . . . No, of course Mother won't mind. Just push the pieces under the bed. Your pajamas are gorgeous, Hilda. Such a heavenly blue! Mine are awful. All they had left was this bright orange-aren't they hideous? . . . Well! Your green ones don't exactly flatter your complexion either, Janet Hinklehopperl Yes, I heard about Ernie and Katherine. Wasn't it a shame they broke up. But then, I always did say a tall girl and a short boy don't go well together . . . Duane is not shorter than I am! It's just that I'm so much slimmer. Janet, your hair would look so much better if you'd put it up on rags-I always put mine up on rags. They give one's hair that breezy, windblown look . . . no, not while they're on, silly! Oh, girls, did l ever tell you about the time Eddie Fisher sang for me? Well, he was singing l Love You, and he looked right up in the balcony and right at me! I was so thrilled, but I didn't show it. Of course, that was before he was married, you understand. But I often wonder what would have happened if I had broken down and met him for a soda after the show . . . Exaggerating? Well, really Phyllis, he didn't exactly ask me, but when a fellow looks right at you and sings I Love You . . . It wasn't either for just a second, he must have gazed at me for at least a whole minute! PiIe in, kids! . . . What, you're not going to bed! Why, Hilda Jane Trotter, you've got to wrinkle them sometime! What do you think a pajama party's for? by DONNA MCENTEE LIMERICK There once was a man from Siam Who said Yes, I am, I am Sam. Which he am, he am Sam. Then, yes, he am Sam from Siam. by LINDA BLACK -Iu--4- DEADLINE It was two weeks before Christmas vacation and everyone was lounging around in the Ship staff room. The night was one of those lazy evenings with the moon making diamonds of the new fallen snow. Everyone was either talking or mentally making out gift lists or thinking about the dance. Yes, this was Thursday night and the whole staff was there-but wait-where is Cyn? Joyce ventured the thought that since she had spent the day taking pictures, she might have stayed home, but Carl insisted that she said she would come, or else he would have stayed home. Dot went to the phone to call. No sooner had her hand started to pick up the phone when in walked Cyn. Everyone went back to their places and resumed where they had left off. Cyn took one look around and the sparks flew to her eyes. What, pray tell, do you kids think you are doing? Do you realize, here she went to the calendar, that in just two weeks everything has to be done? Everyone sat up straight. Connie and Dawn blinked, looked at each other, and flew to the phone. With any luck they could finish the Alumni by tomorrow. Larry and his staff held a quick conference and decided to go out right then and finish the ads. They only had the local ones to do. Donna and Esther seized paper and anything else they could find and started typing. In their rush, they typed too fast and started making mistakes. Judy began proofreading over their shoulders and gave up after three lines. Do it over again, Donna. For one thing, your hand isn't on home row. Sharon and Joyce stopped dancing and started running around in circles looking for final copy sheets. Nancy, Elva, and Marilyn ran for rulers and compasses. Cyn walked over, got the copy sheets from the box on top of Joyce's desk, and handed them to the girls to work on. Dot snatched the activities sheets and started sorting them fervently. Cyn sat calmly down and pulled the senior pictures out and started looking at them. Within five minutes everyone had calmed down and was deep in work. Joyce and Cyn were placing the seniors as fast as layout finished a page. For the next week the staff wasn't worth much as far as school was concerned. Everywhere Freeman turned, Dot was there after some sheet he hadn't turned in. Finally she cornered him and made him fill it in, and flew down the hall as if there were a fire behind her. That last week was the busiest ever. Donna and Esther spent all day'and half the night typing. Dot and Joyce sat up all one night and half the next doing head- ings and helping Judy, who also stayed up to read proof. At last the work was done and as all dropped on sofa or chair tolspend the rest of the night being too tired to go home, Joyce was heard to say, It was a lot of hard work, but it was a lot of fun iust the same. by DOROTHY COBB LET THY WORDS BE FEW! Walking to my home room seat I made a solemn vow- I won't raise a mite of dust, Not right now, anyhow! You see, I have some work to do, And if I start to chatter, Well-once I start, I just can't stop- Things go from bad to badder. I made it up the aisle all right I never said a word. But just as I was sitting down- I got unbearably bored. I'd only said a word or two, CEnough to catch the feverj When I got off on some wild tale, As busy as a beaver. They say it's better not to vow Than vow and then not do, But it seems more fun all around If your conscience doesn't bother you Well, what I'm trying to say is this, To make a sad tale sunny, I break that same vow every morn And teacher doesn't think it's funny. by ESTHER GALLUPE SENIOR PLAY CURTAIN GOING UP!
