The ideas set forth are of extreme importance in the lives of its future citizens. These ideas are found, for example, in the history of the United States and in a knowledge of the Constitution and the principles of Democracy. Then, too, American children are taught the difference between right and wrong. Equality among men and brotherly love are established principles in the American way of life, as exemplified in Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love. This ideal way of living may be defined as Americanism. Let us compare this word 'fAmericanism , and all it stands for, with Nazi-ism, the German version of a perfect world. By methods which were concealed at first by German propaganda, the German children have been educated to a Nazi way of life. If one should undertake even a small amount of research into the Nazi Educational System, he would find that racial prejudice, hatred, and uncivilized practices are being taught to the future citizens or militarists of Germany, who will tenaciously endeavor to eliminate all obstacles which stand in the way of their objectives. The Allied Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Finance Corporation is faced with the great problem of re- educating these fanatics. The idea of converting the mind of someone who has been educated to such fanatical ideas as killing, starving, and other barbaristic acts of the Nazi HRegime, will prove not only interesting to the World in general but also to the world of Science. The knowledge which will be obtained from this experiment in human nature will be of such vast importance that the world may never again be subjected to the sufferings which have been brought about by this conflict. Had the Germans been educated to a non-militaristic idea, they might have advanced so far in industry and other productive activities that they would have become one of the leading nations of the world. Had such inventions as the buzz bomb or robot bomb and rocket-firing planes been put to a more altruistic use, the prospect of going to Mars might 11Ot be such an improbability. But because these German resources were not used properly, their country will never be looked upon as a respected and highly educated nation. Today, because of our productive capacity, our unlimited resources, and our respect for the rights of others, the United States is the foremost power of the world. The responsibility which has been placed upon the American people during this time of great need-that of supplying the Allies with food and equipment- has been accomplished in such a way that we are envied by all other nations of the world. This feat might not have been accomplished had we not educated ourselves to higher standards of learning than have ever been attained before. Yes, we have the most honored and highly respected position among the nations of the worldg and we will hold this position because, through American Education, we have been and always will be a free and peace-loving nation, with Democracy the guardian of our salvation. ALBERT HAVENER 10 THE CAULDRON KNOWLEDGE IS POWER There are men continually hghting and dying on the blood-stained deserts of North Africa, in the insect-infested jungles of the Pacihc islands, and in the debris-filled cities of France. Are these men dying in vain? ls a mere temporary period of peace to follow, or a permanent disarmament of the more aggressive nations? Are we, the younger generation of America, going to let these men down, or are we going to uphold the cause they are fighting for? Every young high school graduate must realize the problems he will have to face when he takes his place in a disturbed world. I-ligh ranking officials are endeavoring to establish a successful post-war program in order that the sons of today's fighting men will not have to Fight another war because of the lack of international law and government. In order that the young people of today will be able to face these problems successfully, they must be properly educated and suited for their respective vocations. Therefore, the future keepers of the peace of this country are not to be found amid the stench and bloodstains of a battlefield, but in the classrooms of our schools and colleges. Here many are working to the limit of their mental capacity to obtain a diploma, while others breeze through on a minimum of work and study. If the people who take delight in Hbreezing througlii' school could realize that the future of our democracy depends on them and their knowledge of world affairs, they would settle down and obtain the benefits of a high school education. I-low many times have you heard the boys overseas say they wish they had studied harder in high school? Are we going to be like these? Our own destiny depends upon us and the power of our knowledge. Our work will begin when victory is won and we march into those nations set free from the shackles of dictatorship, to help establish law and order. VVe must learn to understand people and gain their confidence, for it is our skill in negotia- tions that will determine our place in a world of peace. VVe must strive to build ourselves into better Americans through the power of knowledge, and prepare ourselves to fulfill later the requirements of a democratic life. WENDELL VVEBBIQR PROPAGANDA The weapons of the propagandist are varied and subtle. As the chief means of disseminating his imaginative and ITlCl1Cl2l,ClOUS works, the propagandist uses the newspaper, magazine, booklet, leaflet and similar published material. But, there is some indecision. Is propaganda of any use or is it all evil and worthless? Propaganda can be used successfully to educate the general public to recognize the advantages of a worthwhile project. For example, months before the lend-lease act was passed, much was publicized that would create a favorable opinion toward the act when it finally would be produced. There were many stories of the hardships of England and France, of the ghastly atrocities of the Germans. The question was debated in every forum, in every newspaper, in every class room. Those in favor believed that we should help England who was weak with the struggle, and who would soon fall beneath the Nazi blitz. lsolationist opponents of this school of thought said that we need not become involved in another war just to save England. THE CAULDRON 11 The discussion continued, pro and con, until, by March 1941, nearly everyone was convinced, by what he had read or heard, of the necessity of our aiding Britain to help ourselves. Congress realized that the majority of the American people favored lend-lease, and the bill was passed Ma1'ch II, 1941. This is an example of the beneficial use of propaganda, a use that is vital to the welfare of a democratic country. The people rule in a democracy. Thus the elected ofhcials are influenced by what they hear and read and see-all excellent channels for issuing propaganda. There are many instances to illustrate the propagandisfs ability to pervert to his own use any occasion that presents itself. For example, in 1927 there was a serious anti-foreign outbreak at Nanking. Chinese troops began to kill and plunder in the foreign residential district. In order to prevent a general mas- sacre, British and American warships laid down a barrage around the building where the foreigners had taken refuge. The Soviet press represented this as an unprovoked slaughter of helpless Chinese by bloodthirsty foreign imperialists. Thus the Chinese received a contorted picture of the American role played in this episode. ' By these examples it is seen that the difference between useful and evil propaganda is not easily discerned. The propagandist has devious ways of twisting the truthg by a subtle inflection or doubtful insinuation he can arouse a slight suspicion that develops gradually into open distrust. How can one recognize evil propaganda when it is presented in a reasonable 'mannerf To perceive propaganda one must be very familiar with a subject before he can recognize propaganda relative to that subject. 'l'hrough a liberal education whereby a knowledge of many studies is gained, one can become familiar with varied subjects. It is the duty of the high school and college to train its citizens in these studies in order that they may be able to analyze the claims of propagandists and distinguish the good from the bad, rejecting the infiuence of corrupt or selfish groups. JOAN Amaorr SCHOOL SPIRIT VVhat is school spirit? Oh yes, you'll say, I know what school spirit is. Tl1at's the spirit that is shown when your school is playing its toughest and hardest battle, and when the student body is cheering and backing up its team, win or lose. Yes, you are right. But there's more than that. Let me tell you. Can you and the players take it on the chin when the team loses? When you are on the winning team, do you rub it inn? If you are a good Wilmer as well as a loser, and if you are playing dearly, not for you and you alone, but for the team as a whole and for the glory of your school, that's school spirit. School spirit also stands for the way you treat your school building. If you're the student who hacks away on the chairs with a knife or pencil, the one who uses reckless talk about your school clubs, or the one who thinks the girls' basketball team is just a big laugh, than you haven't any school spirit. Politeness is also school spirit. WVhen your school is good enough to show you moving pictures, special assemblies, and many other tlnngs worth While, do you 12 THE CAULDRON show your spirit by cooperation? I'll tell you what I mean. If there is a special assembly which someone has worked very hard to bring, but you find that you don't enjoy it, don't talk with your friends about Frank Sinatra, or the girl you met last night-be quiet. Say to yourself, If I enjoyed this program, would I want everybody talking while I was trying to enjoy a few moments of entertain- ment? No, I wouldn't. So remember to be quiet, because there are others who are enjoying this program even if you don't. If you do remain quiet, that's school spirit. You have school spirit, too, when you don't throw spit balls around the room, clutter up other people's desks with your scratch paper or complain about the assignments which are given to you. School spirit is your cooperation with your teachers and friends. Remember once and for all, the banner which is in your school gym. This banner does not refer just to the game of sports, but to a greater game, the game of life. Remember- When the last great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not Whether you won or lost, but how you played the game. VANCE NoR'1'oN THE HOUSE ON THE CORNER There is a house on the corner of Pine Street. There a middle-aged couple live. In the window of the house hangs a service liag with one blue star. Last week the couple received word that their only son, who was in the Air Corps, was Missing in action over Germanyv. Of course they still hopeg until the final word is received there will still be hope in their hearts. They gave all they had -their only son-to their country. How about you? Do you deserve all this? Are you worthy of all the blue stars-and the gold ones? There are many things that we can do besides sending sons, brothers and hus- bands into the fighting. We at home have a great responsibility to shoulder. We must supply the weapons with which these men may fight 5 we must give blood to the blood banksg and we must buy War Bonds and Stamps. Don't these things seem small compared to the sacrifice that the couple on the corner made? Some other things such as rolling bandages at Red Cross, and serving as mem- bers of the rationing board, or as U. S. O. hostesses, take up more time. Things like airplane spotting, Coast Guard Temporary Reserve, and Air Raid Wardens take even more time. What is the good of some of these things? Of what use are these to men in the front lines? I am sure that the lirst one, supplying weapons, needs no explanation. People give blood to blood banks so that it can be administered to badly wounded men or those suffering from shock, either as whole blood or as blood plasma. A supply of each of these is kept in the aid stations at the front as well as in the rear. Buying War Bonds and Stamps helps to supply the weapons, food, and clothing for our fighting men. It builds ships and guns. Practically everything our 4 THE CAULDRON 13 fighting men need can be bought with the money from War Bonds and Stamps. The bandages that are made in Red Cross Rooms all over the country are sent to all parts of the world where the fighting is taking place. Rationing boards regulate the consumption of scarce commodities such as gasoline, sugar and butter. It issues certificates for washing-machines, cars and bicycles and thus keeps production from soaring, due to high wages, by selling only to those who really have need of the products. There are Red Cross Nurses' Aid Courses and Cadet Nurse Courses which help to relieve the nurse shortage. At the present time, with a bill to draft nurses if they do not volunteer, and with the need for more nurses as the fighting gets more and more savage, this is very important. Nurses' Aids make it possible for more nurses to volunteer and for the hospitals to keep running efficiently. Wlieli you think of all the couples who have sons in the service, and when you think of all the blue and gold stars that show the sacrifice of all these people, do you think you are doing your share? These few ways of aiding our fighting men entail no real sacrifices for us at home. Compared to the things the boys are going through, what little we can do here at home we should do. Nothing that we can do is too much. Think again on these questions. Search your heart and mind. Do you deserve all the sacrifices being made for you? Are you worthy of all the lives of those boys fighting out there? Let your conscience be your guide ! MARGARET JACKSON ONAWA'S SPELL God gave all men all earth to love, But, since our heart is small, Ordained for each one spot should be, Beloved over all. For about twenty-five families, most of them out-of-staters, Onawa, a small Maine lake in the Moosehead Region, is this spot beloved over all. From Sep- tember until 'lune these families relive past experiences there and plan future activities. Though they differ greatly economically and socially, their common bond, a love for Onawa, unites them for the summer. Those who go to Onawa are regarded by some people as a bit queer, for out- siders think It incomprehensible that a place inaccessible by automobile should hold such an attraction. This very seclusion is the charm of the spot. Onawa's only touch with the outside world is the daily stop of the ancient combination freight and passenger train. This train, which is called The Scoot because of its breath-taking speed of fifteen miles per hour on a down grade, is niet each day by the entire colony, who greet the friendly trainmen and get what mail and provisions it may bring. As the train crawls away, the campers, with filled pack-baskets on their backs, again wind their way down their various trails to the privacy of their own camps. The primitive life of Onawa holds adventure for a young boy. Exploration of coves and inlets, leading to discovery of beaver dams and turtle nests, give him 14 THE CAULDRON endless opportunity for excitement. One of the big occasions for him is his first overnight trip up Barren Mountain. On many day-trips up Borestone Mountain he has learned the skills of mountain climbing and the thrill of looking out over the lake beneath. No less exciting is the search for wrecked Wharves left by the spring freshet. As a result of this hunt, this boy will probably enhance the beauty of his own water-front by a float built from these salvaged materials. Likewise, a f'Tippy-canoe, built from two logs connected underwater by four pieces of wood used as seats, is much more fun than the best sponson ever built, for a ride in it is likely to combine the joys of swimming with those of canoeing. In all these activities he has probably been aided by his sister, but when he tinkers with out-board motors, a very delicate work, she is definitely a hindrance, be insists, However, when it comes to needing help in sailing the sailboat-a rowboat with a blanket on a pole-she again becomes useful in his eyes. Onawa holds enjoyment, not only for young boys and girls, but also for their older brothers and sisters, and their parents as well. For the young people, there are swimming, diving, boating and surf-boat riding. For their elders there is Fishing in the salmon pool, with the ever-present possibility of catching a fifteen- pounder. to top previous records. The poet and painter, too, have a wealth of material wherever they turn. As you hear the musician's notes Float over the lake you realize that all your senses are awake to the beauty of this inspiring spot. All these pastimes seem to indicate that Onawa has beauty only in sunshine, but that is not the case. An occasional rain storm is greeted pleasantly here. An approaching storm may be announced by rolls of thunder, the mountains grow gray, rain is heard and seen coming down the lake in a black blanket. In camp, when the rain draws near, tarpaulins are pulled down on porches, and pans are placed in advantageous positions to catch the inevitable drip from the leaky roof. Lightning may be seen to strike the lake. Soon however, the storm is over, the sun comes out, producing a magnificent rainbow, and everything glistens with rain drops. Even the rain lends its power to beautify the ever-changing landscape. As the rain clears away and the fog veil lifts from the mountains, you realize that Onawa's joys are limitless for all ages in all kinds of weather. Nature seems to have done its best to make this spot beloved over all. BETTY HE M PSTEAD THE CAULDRON 15 Literary INVASION CONVOY The port of Tunisia in Africa was to be the port of embarkation of the next invasion. The harbor was congested with ships of all different types, such as troop transports, ocean going landing craft, mine sweepers, subchasers, submarines, destroyers, cruisers, repair ships and practically everything that Hoats. Harbor lights blazed, defying danger, throughout the night. The activity was so seething that it seemed impossible that the enemy hadn't learned of these preparations. Every ship was overcrowded with both soldiers and sailors and, unbelievable as it may seem, there was no quarreling between the two-not even any sarcasm or words of the traditional contempt they have for each other. On board ship every- body was dead serious. They seemed outwardly calm, but inwardly they were frightened sick with worry. They, the doughboys and tars, talked of their chances of survival, and even wagered bets as to whether or not their ship would be hit. Everyone knew that they were taking part in an historic naval movement and were doing all they possibly could to make it a success. All this hustle-bustle of prepa- ration was the invasion prelude. -' lfinally, everybody knew, without even being told, that the big moment had comeg for all that day slower troop-carrying barges had filed past the faster escort ships in an unbroken line, heading out to open sea and their destiny. Late that afternoon the harbor was empty and the command ships slipped away from their moorings and steamed out past the bomb shattered city. The day of embarkation couldn't have been more appropriate. The sun brightened everything with its magniiiceut splendorg its heat was modified by a mild offshore breeze. The tiniest ships could be seen miles out at sea, silhouetted against the horizon. There is no way of describing the enormous size of the Heet, but in the distance it resembled a large metropolis. The uncountable structures of dull colored, camoullaged ships were indistinct against the dark blue background of water. There was no way of concealing this immense armadag therefore it was necessary lo protect it in every way possible. Allied planes iiew in formation thousands of feet above themg great graceful cruisers and wicked destroyers hovered in a wide circle, surrounding this fleet of over two thousand ships. Vicious little P. T. boats, roaring in one giant combination, maneuvered about the larger ships like a swarm of hornets. Their guard was assembled and the1'e was no turning back. The hrst morning out the sailors were called on deck and told where they were going. That news was the occasion for settling up any bets that had been made as to where the invasion would take place. The convoy sailed in separate fleets, landed in separate areas, and were commanded by three Admirals and three Generals. This first day at sea was like a peace time Mediterranean cruise. The weather was something you read about in travel folders, warm and sunny. with the sea as smooth as silk. But in spite of the peacefulness of the surroundings a sharp alert was kept, for at any moment they could be attacked by a submarine, surface ship or airplane. The serenity of the sea made it hard to take the possi- bility of danger seriously. All went well during the day, but toward evening the weather took a seemingly disastrous change. The sea began to kick up and the wind came from practically 16 THE CAULDRON nowhere at the rate of forty miles an hour. Even the fairly big ships were wal- lowing and plunging under the pressure of the towering seas. The little Hat- 'bottomed landing craft were bouncing and tossing about like toothpicks in the tempest. Dawn came up gray and misty, and as the day wore on, the storm grew progressively worse. By midafternoon the sea was breaking in mountainous waves clear over the decks of the largest ships. Men could not stand on deck and watches had to be lashed to their posts. This storm could turn the whole venture into a disaster that would cost thousands of lives and ships. The majority of the soldiers would hit the beach weak and indifferent from sea-sickness, with two-thirds of their fighting power destroyed. High waves would make it im- possible to launch the assault craft from the transports. Boats would be smashed, lives would be lost, and the attack seriously weakened. lf the invasion were post- poned, it would increase the chance of discovery and bring heavy attacks by the enemy. Finally the prayers of the boys for moderate weather were answered, and it seemed as though fate had plucked the convoy from the grip of doom. The storm ceased as quickly as it had begun, and the mountainous waves slowly leveled out until the surface of the water was as smooth as a table top. This was the moment the brass hats had been waiting for, so they gave the long awaited order, Stand by to board landing craft l VVithin fifteen minutes the beach was covered by what looked like chocolate icing, but this icing was the brown and khaki uniforms of American soldiers. The enemy offered little resistance, and by sunset the infantry had taken every- thing they had hoped to get during the first five days. Convoys had started back to Africa for new loads before the first day was over. Our own invading Heet had escaped without losses other than normal mechanical breakdowns. Strong counterattacks were inevitable, but the invaders felt that, whatever happened, they had a head start and all was in their favor. This is only a preamble to the work and fighting our boys are engaged in. They are making supreme sacrifices in order that we, the younger generation of America may inherit a world of peace. Not every invasion is as successful as this mythical one. But every invasion does depend on the loyal support of every single person who has the privilege of calling himself an American ! VVENDELL VVEBBER MONOTONOUS? H- Miss Abigail Tompson, Custodian of Old Manuscripts at the Library of the Philadelphia Historical Society. Yes, this quiet, unassuming, white-haired lady of some seventy odd years, seemed like a typical librarian whose uneventful life would be very monotonous. I am not familiar with your title. What sort of work do you do ? After a few other leading questions we found that Miss Tompson's work is very unusual. As custodian of old manuscripts she is given old letters and papers, many of Revolutionary Days, and restores them as nearly as possible to their original state. Often she finds the edges of them ragged and whole sections of paper missing. Each new item presents new problems. She has many kinds of 'old paper for patching at her disposal, and often she has to dye them to match THE CAULDRON 17 the faded manuscripts. After carefully restoring them, she preserves them by covering them with a special sheer cloth which is nearly transparent. All papers are then placed under glass or in dust-tight cases. e It was interesting to hear her tell of this intricate and exacting work and we wondered if she had had any particularly interesting experiences with her paper patching. After some prodding she told us this story: About six months ago. two men came to my work room and asked me if they were right in understanding that I could re-assemble the parts of a mutilated letter. After carefully producing a box containing seemingly hundreds of pieces of writing paper as small as confetti, they asked me if I would be willing to put this letter together for them. I enjoy unusual requests and so set to work. As I spread out these fragments they told me why they had come. It seems that a month before a young lady was found with a bullet wound in her head. Her estranged husband was now on trial for her murder. This man, who was on an out-bound train half an hour after her death, had no way of proving that she was alive when he left her apartment. His fate seemed sealed, until in searching her room for evidence, these scraps of paper were found in her waste basket. Evidently she had intended for no one to read them, for not a word could be read. 'l'he court had sent these men to me in the hope that if the papers were mended so that the letter could be read, it might furnish evidence which would decide the case one way or the other. Now that I had the pieces spread out and knew the importance of my task, I set out eagerly to assemble my puzzle in the endeavor to save a man's life. At the end of the second hour. I was finished, and the men excitedly read the results of my efforts, after which they thanked me profusely and left, exultantg for in this letter rested the one scrap of evidence which would prove that this woman was alive after the accused had left her. In the note the dead woman explained that, her husband no longer loving her, she had nothing to live for and was going to shoot herself. Apparently she decided not to leave the note and so destroyed it as completely as possible. Her husband would have soon joined her in death had it not been for the help of this quiet old lady. Did we once think her work dull and monotonous? BETTY HEMPSTEAD THE GREAT STRUGGLE or PLUMBING IN THE HOME Due to the shortage of experienced and well-trained plumbers, many of us are now discovering the pleasures and joys QU of doing our own plumbing. Cn a peaceful Sunday morning as we are just opening our eyes, luxuriously stretching, and chuckling over last night's party, we feel a sense of security and contentment that only a good night's sleep can bring. WeV rise and shine, only to discover that it is quite chilly, fnot to say freezingj, and make a dash for the bathroom to indulge in a nice steaming hot bubble bath Capple blossomj. 18 THE CAULDRON We turn the hot water knob and start to whistle a cheery tune while we wait for the tub to fill. But what is this! Nothing happens! Oh, well, fsighj, per- haps the pipes on the second Hoor are frozen. We'll have to postpone that lovely warm bath 'till the sun rises high enough to thaw the pipes. As we skip down the stairs, a sense of foreboding fills usg but we shrug it off and put our mind on more pleasant things, such as the little woman in a frilly little housedress standing by the stove watching the bacon and eggs-and that coffee she makes! It makes our mouth. water just to think about it. Rounding the corner into the kitchen, a startled gasp escapes our lips. There is no coffee, no bacon, and no eggs, all is in an uproar! There on the floor the little woman! Her hair is disheveled, her dress is torn and dirtyg and she is surrounded by piles of newspaper, a wrench, and several candles. She is evidently having some trouble under the sink, as her head disappears every so often, leaving :just her legs protruding from under the sink as if it had suddenly swallowed her up. Having regained our senses, we Hy to the rescue, like the daring Young knight on a silver charger. VVe calm the little woman and send her off to clean up while we do the job up brown. VVhen at last we have bundled her off to church, we settle down to the task at hand. Now let's go at this in a scientific way. We decide, first of all, to examine the pipe and discern the ailment. As we attempt to squeeze our head and shoulders into a space large enough for a very small pekinese, we see that this method of examination is all wrong. Now, how are we going to see up under the sink? Ah! An idea hits us! Where did Billy keep that toy periscope? We dash upstairs, ransack Billy's drawers, fremoving them entirely from the bureau and putting them on the bedj and fly down again with the toy periscope in hand. After standing on our head holding the periscope in one hand and balancing iourselves with the other, we finally hnd the source of the trouble. just as we thought. The pipe is frozen in the elbow between the sink and the cellar. We decide that the only way to fix this is to disconnect the elbow and bring it up to the kitchen to thaw out. VVe enter the cellarway with caution. lfVow! It's dark in here. Groping around for the light switch, we hit our head on the cupboard door. Ah l There's the light! No, it's just a star. It must be over here. Ouch! So that's where she keeps all the niousetraps. At last we find the switch. A sorry sight greets our eyes. There are a clothes basket full of dirty clothes, an axe, an ironing board, and a wooden saw horse, complete with buck-saw, arranged carefully just where we want to step. Oh, well, it won't take long to move them. We were right-half an hour isn't really long. VVhen at last we get down cellar, and shut off the water, we discover that the pipe is screwed on so tightly that it is impossible to remove the elbow with our wrench. Fired with enthusiasm, we dash upstairs and bring back the hammer. Holding a flashlight between our teeth, the wrench in one hand, and the hammer in the other, we finally extract the elbow. Now let's see. That kettle would be iust the thing to put it in. lVe'll simply take it up and set it on the stove. It will be all right in a moment. Crash! What's that? We dash madly into the cellarway, only to find that the clothes basket has fallen down cellar. Well, we shan't give up all hope yet. We THE CAULDRON 19 toddle down the stairs and gather up the clothes. They were dirty anyway, we try to tell ourselves. By this time our spirits are pretty low. XfVe remove the joint from the pan and attempt to get it back in place.

EIDITH CARR SEA CAPTAIN Cap'n Zeb Halloway had, for many years, lived in the small sea coast town called Anchorage Anchorage was typical of any little sea coast town with its customary wharves and white-washed cottages and sailing vessels returned from all over the world. Cap'n Zeb, however, was the outstanding person in the town. His history was as colorful as a new patch work quilt. He was of average stature and slightly bent with age. His skin was as weather-beaten and brown as an oak leaf in November, and the fringe of hair that showed from beneath his hat was silvery grey. The one outstanding feature of the old sea captain, however, was his eyes. 'llhey were of the deepest blue imaginable and they could make life-long friends or enemies. 'llhey could be kind or cruel, they could cut like a knife or be filled with tenderness and pity. For many years Cap'n Zeb had been docked like the many old sailing vessels of his days. but even now the young captains-and not only the captains but the ordinary seamen-came and talked with him, asked his advice about certain courses, talked with him about the old days, as Cap'n Zeb called his sailing days. Cap'n Zeb's career as a seaman began when, at the age of twelve, he ran away to sea and became a cook's helper. His career as a galley boy soon ended, how- ever. when one of the ship's deck hands was lost at sea and Cap'n Zeb was taken out of the galley and made a deck hand. From the time Cap'n Zeb could remember, he had wanted to own his own ship. Many were the times that the first mate would find him day dreaming when he should have been working. Cap'n Zeb's first voyages were short ones, not even out of the United States, but after a while he was offered a position as an able-bodied Seaman on a ship 20 THE CAULDRON bound for the tropics. This was the thing he had been waiting forg here was his chance. So he took it, and after that his rise was steady. Soon he began to realize that all of his dreaming about owning his own ship was not in vain. He tried hard and was very quick to learn, and in practically no time at all he was ready for Captaincy. Then one day his dreams came true. He owned his own ship. He was the commander, not the commanded. His crews were carefully chosen and he was well liked by all. You could tell that by the way they fondly called him t'Cap'n Zeb instead of Captain Hallowayf' He sailed for many decades, and then came the thing that all seamen fear more than any living thing-old age. Capin Zeb found that he was too old to sail any more. His type of sailing ship was being replaced by the more modern steamship. Sadly he retired and lived for many years in Anchorage, listening to stories told by men returning from the lands he knew so well, talking with other old sea cap- tains about the old days, or listening to the storms howl outside his snug, warm cottage. But all that is gone now and all that remains of the old sea captain's romantic life is the old iron anchor, which is placed in the little cemetery on the hill over- looking the sea and which bears the inscription : Here lies 'Cap'n Zeb' Halloway. This is his anchorage. BARBARA DYER THREE IN BLUE My name is Terryg my last name is not important, at least not right now. I was studying at the NVainbridge Memorial Hospital to be a doctor's assistant. Yes, a certain doctor. His name was Steven, Dr. Steven Deerborn. He was known to everyone at the hospital as Steve. There was another doctor in this story. His name was Dr. Peter Lawrence. He was a very tall man with dark wavy hair that fell down on his forehead, and he had black eyes that twinkled when he smiled. Steve was equally as tall, but he had red hair and blue eyes. Peter and Steve were the very best of friends. Because I was studying under Steve, the three of us were together a lot, in and out of the lab. You see, Steven had always lived in Xafainbridge, and after he had finished high school, he went to medical school. There he met Peter and they finished their course together. Steven had planned to come back to Wfainbridge to prac- tice, and he finally persuaded Peter to come with him. I had not decided to go into the hospital until about three years agog but I was learning fast, and was surely going to make a wonderful assistant, so Peter said. Vtfhenever the three of us got off for an evening, we would go to the movies, or dancing, and then have an ice cream soda afterward, just for fun. On Sunday we would goito the beach or for a ride in the country and a picnic lunch. But no matter where we went or what we did, we always made the most of it and had a wonderful time. THE CAULDRON . 21 Neither Peter, Steve, nor I had any parents. But in Vtfainbridge there was old Doc Bennett who really seemed like a father to all of us. Doc Bennett was a very wonderful man with kindly blue eyes, a good sense of humor, and a smile for everyone. He was always trying to help someone, especially Steve, Peter, and me. Everything was going very smoothly at the hospital. I was studying harder than ever and progressing rapidly. Then came a Sunday morning in December when Pearl I-Iarbor was bombed. That was all the three of us talked about for a week. A few nights later, I was in the lab alone studying some formulas when Steve and Peter came in together. I could tell by the expression on their faces that they had been up to something, and I had a faint idea what it was all about. For a few seconds neither one of them spokeg they just looked at me. Then they both started to tell me, and they were all mixed up. VVhen it was quiet again, l said, You don't have to tell me, I know. Yes, they had enlisted in the Medical Division of the Navy. I hated to have them go, but I knew it was their duty and the thing they both wanted. Old Doc and I saw them off. VVhen we went back to the hospital it seemed very dull and lonesome. There were many other doctors and nurses, but there was still a very empty feeling. About ten months passed and I saw them once, for four very short days, before they went overseas. VVe were all able to meet in New York where we took in all the sights we could, and had one more good time together. They looked very handsome and proud in their uniforms, as I walked between them to the station. I felt proud, too, not just because I was Walking between two handsome Lieutenants, but because I, too, was in the Navy. I had joined the Nurse Corps two weeks after Steve and Peter had left. VVhen they arrived back at their base they were separated, Steve went to the Pacihc and Peter, the Atlantic. I heard from them quite often and I wrote every night. It was just a year from the time that we had last met in New York that I received the telegram. I knew what was in it and I dreaded to open it. I think that I was never so afraid in my life. I felt numb and lifeless. I just sat down, holding the telegram so tightly that my knuckles were white, staring at nothing, with my eyes full of tears which I could not control. Yes, I knew what was in the telegram, but I didn't know whether it was Steve or Peter, and I loved them both very much. You see, Steve was my brother and Peter was my husband. ELAINE GLENDENNING WOODLAND DRAMA The lofty summit' of the mountain was capped in snow now tinged with pink from the setting sun. Here vegetation was scarce and the few trees were lopped and stunted from the constant beating of the wind. However, on the sides of the mountain and on the foothills below, Hrs and spruces grew abundantly with numberless kinds of other vegetation. Through this wilderness moved numerous animals of all shapes and sizes. 22 THE CAULDRON As the darkness of night settled itself comfortably over the forest, the silence was broken only by the occasional frightened twitter of a bird late in finding its night shelter. Then the silence ended. Slowly the night became alive. An owl blinked its eyes, loosed its hunting cry, and flew like a shadow in search of prey. At the sound a doe trembled and instinctively moved nearer to the awkward, long-legged fawn at her side. She probed the darkness with nervous eyes and urged the fawn forward. VVith the coming of darkness she sensed danger. From a rocky lair green eyes stared unblinking into the surrounding gloom. A tawny body stretched itself, and a full grown puma slunk into the underbrush to begin its nocturnal work. It padded swiftly through the forest, its feet making a minimum of sound on the spongy ground. Suddenly it tensed. It tasted the cool breeze which gently touched its face. Then it hastened on again, its pace quickeningg but, still no sound betrayed its presence. As the night continued the doe became more and more alert. A shiver ran through its delicate body. XVas that a sound or was it her imagination? The doe nudged her offspring in an attempt to hurry it. The doe's keen ears caught the gentle scuff of padded feet on the soft forest Hoor. Panic gripped her. She urged the fawn to greater speed, but being young and awkward, it was unable to keep the pace. The padded footfalls came slowly closer, closer. In desperation the doe forced the youngster into a juniper thicket and fled through the underbrush. The fawn remained still, puzzled, but glad of the chance to rest. The feet padded silently but swiftly through the underbrush after the doe. A false step and the doe fell, one leg bent unnaturally beneath her. From the juniper thicket the fawn heard the crash of the falling body, followed by the huge cat's snarl of triumph. The first rays of the rising sun were reflected by the snow on the monntain's summit. Birds began to stir in the trees. Once again the woods seemed friendly. A lone fawn on wobbly legs wandered aimlessly among the trees. From time to time it uttered a plaintive cry as though it were calling for someone, but the cry went unanswered. In its rocky lair a large puma rolled itself into a ball and slept with the contentment of an oversized, well-fed cat. The drama of the night had passed, and the sunlight brought warmth and security to the woodland dwellers. JA N ET S M I'l' H ONE NIGHT Night had fallen on the bleak moorland when jerry and his wife, Paula, arrived at his mother's home. The only light that cut the heavy darkness was that of the car headlights, and even this seemed to dissolve into the inky blankness a few feet in front of the automobile. The stony silence of the dreary moors was so intense that it could almost be heard. As jerry hopped from the car, rain began to beat against the window. The car was parked before the home of Mrs. Shay, ferry's mother. The cottage was small and white with a huge red rambling rose bush tumbling in THE CAULDRON 23 graceful disorder over the front door. The neat little house seemed like an oasis of beauty in a desert of melancholy moors. But on this night the lightless cottage blended into the rainy darkness and seemed by far more sinister than beautiful. The rain beat harder as Jerry ran up the stone walk and pounded loudly on the door. The silence, broken only by the falling rain, closed in again. A pale light appeared in an upstairs window. Suddenly it disappeared, and a few minutes later jerry heard footsteps in the house. The door opened and emitted a thin sliver of light. A small white hand holding a candle was all that was visible. VVho's there ? The voice was scarcely above a whisper. Mother, it's Paula and I. The door opened wider and a little old lady with pure white hair and a very pale face stood trembling in the doorway. She thrust the candle toward the man's face. Recognition replaced terror in her eyes. jerry, Jerry, it's you ! But, terror crept into her voice, where's Paula? You said she was with you l The man turned as he heard the car door slam. A few seconds later Paula joined them on the steps. She did not notice the old lady's relief, but it was all too apparent to jerry. Mother Shay, she cried, I'm so glad to see you, but, she paused, 'tai-en't you going to let us in F Mrs. Shay seemed to be confused. Yes, yes, come in. You'll get wet in this downpour. She stepped aside and the couple entered into a small, ill-lighted room. The door was shut quickly after them. jerry turned as he heard the lock slip and faced his mother. Mother, what in the name of thunder is this? When I talked with you on the telephone you sounded so frightened that we came out. Now we find you looking as though you had seen a ghost. VVhat's the matter F jerry, it's worse than a ghost. It was lurking outside on the moors. I saw it. Mrs. Shay's voice rose with excitement and unsurpassed terror. It looks like a man, but-oh l jerry ! Paula shivered and clutched her husband's sleeve, for above the dismal sound of the heating rain the trio heard a loud hideous cry. It didn't come from just one place. It seemed as though it came from the far corners of the moorlands, and yet it appeared to be in the little cottage with them. The candle sputtered and went out. The darkness closed in upon them as though its only desire was to stifie them. jerry felt his heart in his throat. He dug into his pocket and pulled out a match. He struck it and his blood ran cold. I-Ie heard Paula's stilied cry. The match burned his fingers, he dropped it. In the flickering light he had seen it. As his mother had said, it resembled a man. That is, it had two arms and two legs, but it was like nothing that Jerry had ever seen before. He put his hand on his motherfs shoulder. She was shaking like a leaf. 24 THE CAULDRON The Thing was moving around the room toward them. Jerry heard the soft footsteps, but even they didn't sound human. They came closer, closer. Jerry stepped backward and bumped into a small table. A vase fell and the sound of breaking glass echoed through the dark cottage. The Thing made a noise. It was supposed to be a laugh but it sounded more like a high pitched scream. Mrs. Shay slipped from under jerry's hand and he heard her body fall in the darkness. Jerry felt Paula's hand clasp his arm tighter. He felt hot breath on his face. It wasn't Paula's. A brilliant flash of lightning lighted the room for a f1'action of a second. Paula screamed. Scarcely three feet in front of them he saw the Thing again. It was a small hunch-backed man. His face was cruel, with the two canine teeth protruding over the lower lip. There was an insane glint in its eye. He was coming toward them. Suddenly there was a pounding at the door. The hunch-back screamed. The lock broke and in rushed three men with Hashlights. They caught the little man who began to sob loudly. Jerry lighted a lamp. Paula was bending over Mrs. Shay. One of the trio turned to jerry who held the light. He glanced at the broken vase on the carpet. I believe I owe you an explanation, he said haltingly, as though greatly relieved at something. Wlio is that man? He's ghastly. jerry stared with awe as the man's two companions took the Thing out into the rain. The Adder didn't hurt anyone did he P Jerry shook his head and the man continued. The Adder is a homicidal maniac who escaped from the sanitarium three days ago. He killed two of the guards and we were terribly afraid that he would do some serious damage. It was lucky that we happened to pass by here tonight. He turned and joined his companions. As the door closed behind the man, Jerry turned to help Paula revive Mrs. Shay. It was not long before her eyes opened and she stared terrified at the couple before her. Paula spoke softly to the old lady. At her reassuring words the terror left Mrs. Shay's eyes, and she allowed them to help her to her room upstairs. Outside the storm was dying on the moors and with its death it brought a sense of security to the inhabitants of the lonely little house. Morning came. The sun, casting its bright, early morning rays over the drip- ping moors, replaced the weird, wild storm of the night before. Jerry, driving slowly along the lonely road across the moors, stopped the car and gazed thought- ffully back at his mother's home. The small cottage was again a little spot of beauty in the wild, bleak moorland.

JACK G1XI,lANO I Saw the Long Ships Passing I saw the long ships passing Like phantonis in review And each one told its story Of a brave and gallant Crew. I saw the long ships sailing Down the harbor toward the sea And the sailors hearty chanty Brought back a memory. There was a ship returning From a voyage long ago And not a man was left alive To tell the tale of woe. His ship sailed in the autumn Wlieii the leaves were stained with red. And he said he would come back to me 'Ere the winter's snows had fled. The minutes passed like hours The days passed by like years Yet not one word came from him To quiet my many fears. And then there came a letter Saying he was homeward bound And my heart rejoiced in gladness Not knowing th a t he'd b e en drowned. The ship was found by some Whalers And all that was left was the hull For a ire had swept down on her Like a tempest after a lull. I saw the long ships passing As I sat in my door today And I saw his ship before me As it sailed into the bay. BARBARA DYER The Watch The midnight watch is kept while over- head The stars shine down on a cold and tossing sea. NVhat do you think of, sailor? Your home, your wife? Or the little child asleep in the bed? Maybe it's a farm VVhere the gentle cattle graze, Or a noisy city street. Maybe it's a mother, Old and bent with care, Praying for you-her son. All these things are waiting, 26 THE CAULDRON AAA- So keep your watch, sailor. For soon you'll be going home And all the joys you once knew Will be there And you will know them all again. BARBARA DYER Dogs To some the dog is man's best friend To others, just a pest, Now I'm afraid the question is : just which one knows him best? Wlien a lover says a dog is smart, A question will arise, As to how he should be judged- By his brains or by his size? Now, take the little Pekinese- I-Ie's mama's baby doll 5 Blue ribbons he may capture Though he has no brains at all ! Then we have the mongrel, Who has no family tree, But he's oftentimes a hero, Though he lacks a pedigree. The St. Bernard's a mighty dog, A noble beast indeed, But in this day of rationing He's much too much to feed. A cocker has such winning ways That every child's his friend, J But slippers left within his reach NVill meet untimely end. Discussion gets us nowhere fast, As you can plainly see : Either you love them or you don't But that's not up to me. J. I'IAT'I'liSEN Home I would not mind the job at hand, The pressing ways of war, If I could only cross this land And see my home once more. The house is old and bent with wear And really not much to see, But the joy of simply being there Would be enough for me. Familiar faces on the street, A nod, a warm hello I A friend's iirm handshake when we meet Worild set my heart aglow. From my shoulders I would cast The burdens of the day, For I would be at home at last, This time to always stay. The years may trail their loneliness Through a lifetime filled with pain But my mind would be at rest, If I were home again. I. I'lA'1 l'ESEN THE CAULDRON 27 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1945 On the gloomy morning of September 7, IQ4I, a group of bright-eyed students were wandering around the corridors of Rockland High School wondering where to go and what to do. These students were the members of the new Freshman class. the class of t945. Things went smoothly for us until we received an invita- tion from the seniors to attend a reception. The major part of this reception was the initiation of our class. VVe received some pretty rough treatment from the seniors that night, but after that we were considered a part of the family of Rockland I-ligh. Wfe elected as our ollicers for the year, the following people: President, Leslie Nelson, Vice-President, Albert Havener, Secretary, Evelyn Sweeney, and Treas- urer, Sylvia Adams. Dale Lindsey and Betty O'Brien were elected to the Student Council. Those of our classmates who played in the band were Albert Havener, Ernest lVlunro, Vance Norton, jr., Ervin VVooster, Irving Small, Alvah Graves, Charles Philhrook, and Sandra Hallowell. The three members of our class who were on the Debating team, Ernest lVIunro, Pauline Stevens, and George Ber- liawsky, also had the privilege of debating at Bates College. The biggest event of the year was the Kippy Karnival. Nate were in charge of the cooked-foods booth, and the tea-room, both of which were very successful. VVC also contributed talent to the program. Xdfith these accomplishments to our credit we came through our first year of high school with Flying colors. After the summer vacation was over we came trouping back to dear old Rock- land High, a wiser, more experienced group of students. We elected the following people to lead us through our second year of' high school: President, Dale Lindseyg Vice-president, Albert l-lavener, Secretary, Evelyn Sweeney, Treasurer, Aimee Karl, and Student Council representatives, Betty O'Brien and john Brann. Many of our classmates played in the band and orchestra. The highlight of our second year was the Sophomore Prize Speaking Contest. The students who participated in this event were Vina Dehnonico, Norma Ramsdell, Jane Abbott, Edith Carr, Betty 0'Brien, Betty Hempstead, Donald Philbrook, Ervin Vtfooster, George Ber- liawsky, and Vance Norton, The winners of the boys' contest were Ervin Wooster and George Berliawsky. The winners of the girls' contest were Vina Delmonico and ,lane Abbott. We again worked diligently for the success of Kippy Karnival, with excellent results. ln june. with a feeling of regret that the year was gone, we said good-bye to teachers and friends and went off to work and play until school opened again. September soon rolled around and we were upper classmen. XVe elected as our officers for the year, Dale Lindsey, President, Douglas Curtis, Vice-president, Evelyn Sweeney, Secretary, and Virginia Farrell, Treasurer. VVilliam McLella11 and Betty O'l3rien were elected to represent us on the Student Council. lfVhen the class of 344m presented their play, many of our fellow-students served on the business and stage committees. Then came our opportunity to act in a play. Our Junior Class Play, entitled Thumbs Up and directed by Allston Smith, was a big success. The following students were in the cast: Ernest Munro, -lack Hatte- sen, Vance Norton, jr., Ervin XVooster, Ruth Call, Lorraine lott, Edith Carr, Sandra I--lallowell, Vina Delmonico, Betty Hempstead, ,lane Abbott, and Muriel Adams. Again this year some of our classmates were members of the band and orchestra, namely, Ervin Vtfooster, Barbara Allen, Peggy Jackson, Sandra Hallo- well, Vance Norton, jr., Albert Havener, Ernest Munro, and Irving Small. A 28 THE CAULDRON few of our group, Peggy jackson, Vina Delmonico, Albert I-Iavener, Sandra Hallowell, and Betty Hempstead, were elected to the National Honor Society during their junior year. This year too, we took an active part in the annual Kippy Karnival. The Karnival, as usual, was a big success. Ioan Abbott, Pauline Stevens, Ronald Carver, and Douglas Curtis, members of the debating club, debated at Bates College during the year. Betty Hempstead, joan Abbott, and Pauline Stevens had the honor of taking part in the Colby Peace Conference at Colby College. Then another year was gone and we had the pleasant prospect of a summer vacation ahead of us, so we said good-bye and went off to enjoy ourselves until September. We were soon back at school, and we were dignified seniors! To lead us in our final year we elected as President, Dale Lindsey, Vice-president, Ernest Munrog Secretary, Evelyn Sweeney, and Treasurer, Virginia Farrell. Betty O'Brien and VVllll2ll'I1 McLellan were chosen to represent us on the Student Council. lrVhen Bill left to serve his country, Charles Van Fleet was appointed to take his place. Dorothy Harden, one of our classmates, was elected for the office of School Treasurer. In December, we presented the three-act play Seven Sisters which was the most successful play ever produced by a senior class. Allston E. Smith was director and the following students were in the cast: jane Abbott, Betty Hempstead, Sandra Hallowell, Edith Carr, Muriel Adams, Virginia McCaslin, Vina Delmonico, Mary Lou Duff, Ervin VVooster, Vance Norton, jr., Ernest Munro, Jack Hattesen, Ronald Carver, and George Berliawsky. The following members of our class were admitted to the National Thespian Society: Ervin Wooster, joan Abbott, Jane Abbott, Douglas Curtis, Vina Delmonico, Sandra Hallowell, Betty Hempstead, Faith Long, Ernest Munro, Betty O'Brien, Vance Norton, Jr., Lois Benner, Edith Carr, Elaine Glendenning, Albert Havener, john Brann, Muriel Adams, Janet Smith, Lawrence Blood, Ruth Call, Ronald Carver, Mary Lou Duff, Virginia Farrell, Lorraine Iott, Peggy Jackson, VVilliam McLellan, Pauline Stevens, Wendell XVebber, George Berliawsky, Jack Hattesen, and Aimee Karl. Many members of our class were active in sports during their high school career. The boys who went out for football during our four years in school were Jack Hattesen, Wfendell VVebber, Donald Philbrook, Ernest Munro, William Mc- Lellan, Dale Lindsey, Ervin lrVooster, and Charles Philbrook. Four of the fel- lows, Ernest Munro, Donald Philbrook, Dale Lindsey, and Wendell Webber, went out for basketball. Albert Havener was a member of the hockey team, his fresh- man year, and VVendell Webber and Ernest Munro were on the baseball team last year. The girls were also active in sports. Those who went out for basketball one or more years were Aimee Karl, Margaret Huntley, Betty O'Brien, Florence Knight, Ann Tootill, Marilyn Robishaw, Joanne Horne, Norma Ramsdell, and Sylvia Cliristoffersen. A number of the girls went out for softball, they were Virginia Farrell, Aimee Karl, Edith Carr, Mary Lou Duff, Ann Tootill, Florence Knight, Sylvia Christoffersen, Evelyn Sweeney, and Pauline Stevens. Most of the mem- bers of our class belonged to one or l'l101'C of the various clubs and organizations, such as Glee Club, French Club, Spanish Club, Librarian's Club, Latin Club, Debating Club, Press Club, Little Theater NVorkshop, Outing Club, etc. The members of the Debating Club again debated at Bates College. They also debated in Portland, and took part in the Colby Student Congress at Colby College. Six of the girls in our class, Mary Lou Duff, Sylvia Christoffersen, Edith Carr, Lor- raine Iott, Virginia Farrell, and Virginia McCaslin, were cheerleaders. THE CAULDRON 29 One of the members of our class, Margaret Jackson, had the honor of being chosen as candidate for the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage. One of the last events of our senior year was the Kippy Karnival. The follow- ing students were elected as Karnival chairmen: General chairman, Dale Lindseyg Entertainment chairman, Barbara Allen, Ball chairman, Wenclell Webbe1'g Booth chairman, Clifton I-luntg Decorating chairman, Betty O'Brieng and Clean-up chairman, Joseph Baum. As we look back over our high school record and read about our activities for the past four years, our thoughts carry us through many pleasant channels of memory. VVe have had a lot of fun in high school, and it doesn't seem possible that we will soon be graduating and going out into the world. We are sorry that some of the fellows, who are Hghting for their country, will not be here for graduation, but we are proud of them and our thoughts will be with them wherever they are. It is very difficult to find words to express how grateful we are to Mr. Blaisdell and our teachers for all they have done for ug during the past four years. W'e hope we haven't caused them too many sleepless nights, and that when they think of our class their thoughts will be pleasant ones. Of course, we were a little bit irresponsible at times, but the faculty seemed to understand us and we usually were forgiven. And so with regrets that those happy days are gone, we close this his- tory with the wish that the graduating classes of the future will enjoy high school as much as we have. MURIEL L.
