Especially prevalent is religious intolerance. How often we hear such statements as, Why, I couldn't ask him, he's a Catholicf, or, He's a jewff As a matter of fact, every religion, great or small, has some group opposed to it. Many brilliant and capable people are held down because of religious preferences. But why should these things be done here, in America, of all places? Our Con- stitution, the supreme .law of the land, guarantees the right of each to worship in his own way, and yet, certain small, narrow-minded individuals have always per- secuted, in one way or another, those of faiths other than their own. Through the centuries, people have suffered untold agonies of mind and body because they dared to express their beliefs. A We have seen what can become of a nation which grinds one particular religi- ous philosophy into the dust. Soon, no religion is safe, and at last it becomes-a nation of brutal atheists-a nation without God. And a country without divine guidance is like a ship without a helmsman-it will eventually be driven upon the rocks of greed and hate, which is exactly what happened in this last and most terrible of wars. Religion is personal, and should not be brought into the school or place of busi- ness. A man is not judged by his church, but rather by the way in which he does his work, and by the way he treats his friends and associates. The very roots of religion are embedded in, and nourished by, the fertile soil of fellowship. The second of the two great commandments of Jesus states, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyselff, This idea was admirably expressed in Leigh I-Iuntis famous poem, Abou Ben Adhemn. From this literary gem we have the immortal words, 'I pray you then, write me as one who loves his fellow men. We all love and worship the one God, my friend in his way, and I in mine. Let us keep our views to ourselves, if expressing them means hurting the feelings of another. For, only when men treat each other equally according to the Golden Rule, can all be one in the sight of God, and only then, can there be perfect peace on His earth. ' Paul M. Payson THE CAULDRON 9 HOMEWARD BOUND I was on the deck of a large transport-I and a couple thousand other guys- pushing its way to New York City. I suppose they were all thinking of getting home and back into the old swing again, but not me. Give me the army any day, I had said. I didn't think I could stand all those silly people back home for long. They were always doing unexplainable things and complaining about something that didn't matter at all. No, sir, that was not for me. All this gala celebration for the returning service man didnit impress me the least bit. Oh, we had heard the stories of how the Pied Cross and everyone from the Ladies' Aid to the Girl Scouts usually turned out to shower you with coffee and what-have-you, but I for one didn't feel much like a hero and I wanted no part of it. While I was thinking of some plan to evade all the people when we Iinally did land, I saw the chaplain coming toward me. I-Ie and I never did hit it off very well. I called him away from a window one night back at the observation post just before a shell came tearing through. When he started telling the boys how I had saved his life it sure burned me up. I only wanted him to sit down. He was making me nervous standing there, chanting in that low voice of his. How was I toiknow the shell would come through the window? Glad to be getting back, soniyi he asked casually. Why should I be?,' I asked. Is there a sale in some bargain basement?', I could see that he was thoroughly disgusted with me and after looking at me For a long minute he walked on down the deck, joking with the boys. I was about to resume my thoughts when I was aware that someone was beside me. I looked around and then down. It was a boy in a wheel chair. I couldnit help hearing what you said to Chaplain Stewart just nowf' he said :'You don't really feel that way, do you? ' I was indignant that someone should be listening to what I had to say andlafter making some remark about it, I sat down on a nearby bench. I knew he was eager to talk to someone and if that someone had to be me I might just as well make myself comfortable. I-Ic started talking about his home and folks, his high school life, and how he had won the 'prize for being the best dancer in his hometown. He even had had a contract for a Broadway show. Someone else must have thought he was a good dancer, too. That was before the war, so when the Army called, his career natur- ally had to be postponed. As I think back I realize he was recalling mostly the small things: the ride to New York on the train when he was a kid, Mike, the Italian iceman, who always used to bring him a banana from his brotheris fruit stand when he was passing by, the hamburger house on the corner where he used I0 THE CAULDHON tostop with the gang after a show or dance on Saturday night. He went 011 talking about the crazy hats his girl used to wear and the farewell party they had before he left, but I wasnft paying too much attention. I had heard so many of the boys voice their hopes and ambitions that I didnlt care about listening to another version of an already exhausted subject. I never was one to dwell on the insignificant ....... I remembered the frankfurter stand on our street corner, and there was an iceman too, only he was Scotch. As Tommy talked on I was home. There was the friendly policeman on Elm Street, so unlike the military police of occupied Europe. I saw our house, Dad mowing the lawn just before supper as he always did, and through the scent of burning leaves came the aroma of fresh baked pie. Mom always was the best cook in town. Insignificant . . . ?? Suddenly, hestitatingly, I realized that a holiday parade, a picnic on Sunday and all the little things which America enjoyed so freely were not as meaningless now as I had led myself to believe. For the first time in my life I knew what a first class heel I had been. I had avoided the boys since I had gone overseas. I didnit join them in their songs and card games and all for reasons that seem so trivial now. Ever since I had gone overseas I had been building a shell around myself and daring anyone to tear it down. It didnlt take much thinking on my part either to admit to myself that this was the reason for my disliking Chaplain Stewart so much every time he started playing good Samaritann, as I had called him. He was doing his best to break down this barrier of mine while all the time I was making it worse. Tommy was silent now and smiling. He must have known how I felt. He must have known what he had done to help me. I was at a loss for words. Thanksv, I managed to say. t'And one of these days I know I'll see your name up there in lights on Broadway? Without saying anything he turned away and was gone. That was a terrible thing to say, for, although I didnt know it then, It learned later that Tommy would never dance and perhaps never be able to stand again. I remained away from the rest ofthe boys as much as I could. I wanted to be alone, but not for the same reason that I had avoided them before. This time it was different. We were nearly home and I wanted to remember everything about this next hour. The white gulls were hovering aimlessly over our ship and as I stood there, watching the New York skyline, guarded by the 'goddess herself, the lump in my throat made me realize how much home really meant to me. Flora Hustus '46 THE CAULDRON ll MISSING - - - ALL HANDS LOST As the sun sank into the hills of the mainland, significant things began to hap- pen. The1'e was heard the cry of the gulls as they flew inland onto the yet un- named mountain. The seals along the headland and reef ceased their play and barking and moved out to the open sea. Far to the southwest there was a line of ragged windlashed clouds. Slowly the mounful tune of the storm was apparent as the wind increased and blew through the rigging of the Rose Marie. The Captain standing at the forepeak viewed the storm with apprehension. He knew that his ship, seaworthy as she was, had just crossed three thousand miles of storm. He turned to his Mate and ordered the other anchor overboard, the .lashings on the furled sails secured. The Captain then went below for his supper. The men in the forecastle had their meal undisturbed by the approaching storm. After mess, they sat around in the glow of the battle lanterns sewing buttons and patching badly battered sea gear. One was making a little doll out of hemp for a child many miles away. O11 the island everything was quiet, deathly quiet, waiting for the storm to break. The only sound was the stilifening breeze moaning through the pines. Per- haps it was moaning for the ship that had to ride out the storm in the exposed harbor. With darkness it began to snow. The wind increased and began its vengeful, claiming roar. The seas raked the deck of the ship, fore and aft, and she tossed and plunged like an unbroken stallion. Still the storm increased its velocity until the seas tossed and writlied like a soul in torment. It grew colder and ice began to form on the rigging and the ship. , On the hills the pines tossed their branches to the sky. There was no light tower's gleam or clang of the bells-only the wind and the sea and the ship. Sud- denly like a shot one of the anchor cables parted. The Captain ordered his men on deck to see if anything could be done. There was only one thing to be done, that was to pray--pray that one cable and one anchor could hold the ship. Astern of them, on the reef, they could hear the surf pounding against the knife-edged granite. Slowly the roar became more distinct, closer drew the ship to the rocksg the last hope was lost. Then came the sound of rending timbers--then oblivion. The storm intensihed its fury as if in glee at finding its mission of destruction accomplished. Slowly, with the coming of dawn, the storm abated. The leaden skies broke clear and a huge orange sun arose. It looked down upon a mountain and a clean white beach, littered with white oak timbers, and a childis half-made doll. Raymond D. Bowden I2 THE CAULDRON SURPRISE There was nothing extraordinary about the day. It was Saturday afternoon. People were coming and going, as usual, looking for anything that couldnlt be found, gasping about the prices, laughing at their neighbofs hat, and catching up on the latest gossip. There too, was a dejected looking dog on the corner, star- ing longingly at a string of frankfurters that was guarded by the plate glass win- dow at Millerls Meat Market. After watching him a couple of minutes, I realized that I was a little hungry, too. I turned into johnsonis. That was a favorite spot with the rest of the gang after dances and movies. It was vacant now with the exception of the girl behind the counter. Finally, the menu and I came to an agreement so I orderd a milk shake and a sandwich. Now I've seen an artist's conception of strange people from Mars, live seen freaks at a side show and live heard about the seven wonders of the world but I never thought I could be startled in my own home town, yet there it was. I had walked over to deposit a nickel in the juke box and returned, about to resume my struggle with a tuna fish sandwich, when my unsuspecting gaze rest- ed upon a window across the street. It was not the window itself which held my glance, however, it was something beyond. I say asomethingp' .... should I say nsomeonev? .... for as nearly as I could make out it was a woman wearing a bright yellow dress and sitting in a chair reading a magazine as if nothing was wrong. There was something wrong in my estimation though. That unexplanable apparatus which was on her head was by no means an ordinary sight to me, to say the least. It had long tenacles reaching up to a pipe above. Could she be tun- ing in on a coast-to-coast hookup? My milk shake and sandwich forgotten, I became fascinated by the mechanisms being displayed to me across the street. Soon a girl in a white uniform detached a lot of clips from the irons on the woman's head. She replaced the former ma- chine with another which swallowed the womanis head almost entirely. I don't think the victim could have been aware of what passer-bys thought as she sat reading that magazine, with a contraption similar to an upside down cake mixer on her head. I went back to my milkshake and sandwich, leaving the poor woman to her plight while I listened to Spike Jones, rendition of Dont Fence Me In . I hadnit realized before that -lohnsonis made such Havorsome sandwiches, but after four more of them, I had appeased my hunger, so I started for the door, eager to relate my observations of the afternoon to someone else. Perhaps Ioe or Kip would be mowing the lawn around the honor roll again. just then my mother emerged from the building across the street. She had her hair different, I think, but the only thing I noticed was the fact that she was wear- ing a bright yellow dress. Franklin Blaisdell THE CAULDRON 13 A SLIP OF PAPER-THAT'S ALL U My name? IfVhy, you know that we have no--. Oh, back there? That's differ- eut. I was called jimmy Waterman then-just an ordinary, carefree kid like all the rest. Mom spoiled me though, 'cause I was all she had. Dad had died when I was ten. Mom took over the store, and I helped her as soon as I was old enough. Everything was all right until a certain Sunday in December . . . From then on I became restless . . . all the fellows were leaving and everyone was doing all he could to help. I didn't say anything to Mom about it though, because I knew she needed me. But she seemed to sense that something was wrong, and one day she said quietly, jimmy, I know how you feel, and I'm proud of you. If you want to go, I think I can take care of the store by myself. Dad used to, and I know he'd have wanted it this wayf' That was Mom, the grandest gal in the world, always thinking of the other fellow. And so, I became a Marine. Then, after months of intensive training, we were shipped out. I don't remember much about the war . . I don't want to. Anyway, I hated it! It was all so futile, so senseless! I'm not say- ing that it wasn't a just war, if any war can be called just. It was the mud, the fog, the insects, the not knowing when the fellow next to you was going to sud- denly drop at your feet, a gaping hole in his chest. It was watching the splendor of a tropical' sunrise, knowing all the while it might be your last. And worst of all, it was the thought of all the telegrams being sent home to mothers or wives, and the rows of white crosses . . . mute testimonials of man's inhumanity to man. I was among those who strove for a foothold on that most desolate spot of all . . . Iwo Jima. My buddy and I were in the front lines that night. We had been toge.her for some time, and I knew him as well as I know myself. I thought as much of that lug as though he were my own brother. Anyway, he was unusually light-hearted that night, and it bothered me. It was almost as if he knew .... With the rest, we were advancing on a nest of snipers, when suddenly there was the deadly whine of a bullet, and he fell. I knew without looking that now 'there would be another cross, another telegram. I-I guess I went completely crazy then. With grenade in hand, I started for the cave from where the shot had come. All I wanted to do was get the guy that got 1ny buddy! I threw the grenade as hard as I could and dropped down to wait. It was then that I heard the whine of a mortar shell . . . it grew louder and more intense, with a deafening scream that could mean only one thing! And then everything went black . . . After a long, long time I awoke, shaking as from a bad dream. But I wasnjt on Iwo, I was on the outskirts of my own home town! I couldn't remember getting there, and yet it clidnit seem strange that I was. I started down the street on the double. Yes, there everything was, just as I had left it . . . the church, my old school, the drug store on the corner, and then, the little white house that was home to me. And there was a light in the living room. Mom must still be upf' I thought. As I reached the steps, I met Mrs. Burton. our next door neighbor. I 14 THE CAULDRON noticed that she was crying, and asked what was the matter. She di,dn't seem to see me, so.I started in. I could see another neighbor inside with Mom, and they were both crying. As I entered, they were facing the other direction. I spoke, but they didnit seem to hear. I heard the other XVOUIZIYI saying that it was a terrible thing, but that he would have wanted her to be brave. Alarmed, I stepped for- ward, in time to see Mom lay a piece of paper on the table. just a little slip of paper, that was all . . . I picked it up, and with growing realization and horror 1'ead, The VVa1' Department regrets .... Paul M. Payson OUT OF THF1 WILDERNESS The house stood at the top of the long sloping emerald lawn, which was like a carpet of rich green velvet. Sometime before dawn, nature had dropped a lacy blanket of blossoms into the outstretched arms of the dogwood tree. The tulip tree was a flaming mass of red. The Wisteria vine was a dripping fountain ol lavender that filled the air with exquisite perfume. Tall hollyhocks nodded to and 'l r'O in the soft summer breeze. On this particular afternoon the sunlight and fragrance gave to the big, silent house the warmth it somehow lacked. Yet care was here, and charm and beauty too. There was the faint creak of a rockng chair on the veranda, where George W'illiams, pretending to read, sat grave and quiet. I-Ie thought of all the things le could not forget. The pain, the joy, the bewilderment, the losing struggle he had fought-then death which was so final and gave you no choice and left you no answer. After this he had gone abroad in desperation, only to return to Valleyview. his old summer home. Here he had come as a boy, with his mother. And here he had spent all his time during those sixteen years of hate, joy, fear, and sorrow. It seemed more like home than any other place on earth now, with memories in every corner--a house of memories of the past. He was free. The time had been so endlessly long. Sixteen years, the best of his life. he had given to his invalid wife. His thoughts Went back to the very begin- ning. He .was back in college playing on the football gridiron Above him some where among the shouting crowd was a girl with curly black hair and big laugh- ing blue eyes. They were married shortly after he graduated and they came to live at Valleyview. Wli-at-'aatease she was. It was during one of these teasing moods that she had gone out driving with his best friend. He had objected because Bill was a reckless THE CAULDHON 15 driver and the roads were icy that December day. But she had only laughed. Then, a short time later, the car had skidded and crashed. Bill had been killed, and jean had been dragged from the wreckage more dead than alive. The shock had left her half paralyzed. I-Ier speech was only a mumble. When she recovered she was told she would never walk again. After this she never ceased to rebel against the fate which bound her. She just lay on her pillows with tears coursing down her cheeks, her eyes begging him to understand. The days dragged by and he gave up his business that he might be with her more. Gradually the people of the town came to understand him and his tragedy. Wise old Dr. Ross, who had watched his slow retreat, suggested to him that he adopt a child of about seven or eight, preferably a girl. . It was by some curious act of Providence that a short time later his brother, driving from the north to visit him, met with an accident. Both he and his wife were killed, but his daughter, june, was thrown from the car unhurt. Arriving in answer to a telegram, he took her home with misgivings. jeaifs joy was unmistakable from the start. She clasped the child in her arms and kissed her gently. Her great blue eyes filled with tears, a rush of mumbled sounds fell from her lips. For the time being she was happy. Time passed and as june matured, jean changed. Perhaps it was her long ill- ness or jealousy of -Iune's increasing beauty. He never knew. She would let neither of them touch her or do anything for her. Her eyes burned with hate and anger and triumph over these two chained by pity to her. She became more and more revengeful toward june. One morning when june brought her breakfast she seized her wrist and bit her until blood came. After this he had always been there to guard and shield june like a glass flower that would break at touch. It had all ended suddenly one evening in an unexpected way. june was about to mount the stairs to jean's room. But before she could do so a cry was heard overhead. It was like an animalis cry of hurt or fury. He looked up with a cold fear in his heart. He commanded june to remain Where she was. jean stood above them swaying uncertainly. She lifted an arm high in the air and hurled a large vase with all her strength down the stairs straight at june. It missed its aim, and before anyone could catch her, she lost her balance and crashed down at their feet. A moment later she was dead. He was awakened from his unpleasant dreams by Busty, june,s dog, chasing a stray cat across the lawn. It was now twilight. The sky burned 1'ed and then faded into a glow like a great pink jewel set in gold. Then came the darkness like a cloak wrapped around him. Trains of radiant white stars appeared followed by a large orange moon, which rose high into the deep velvet sky. The world was bathed in a golden splendor. 16 THE CAULDRON Fireflies appeared and a soft breeze stirred the trees bringing with it the drifting fragrance of the Wisteria to add to the beauty. It was while gazing upon this star spanglecl night of beauty that he began to think of the many things that were yet within his grasp. He looked at his watch. June had telephoned that she would arrive about ten. It was only nine now. He still had an hour before June arrived--june who had freed herself of sorrow and the past. She was stepping forward to meet the adven- tures which awaited her. Couldnlt he, too, reach for life in all its brightness and beauty? He was sure he could with June's understanding and sympathy. They two together would venture forth into a new future. He rose and gazed Heavenward. The breeze made a choir of the pines. The maples bent in prayer. For a moment he knelt and offered thanks for such a worldl such a place, such a companion as June. Then he went into the house with a new light in his eyes and thankfulness in his heart. Margaret Meldrum 'KSLOWVLYD Slowly, I opened my eyesf, sang the girl in a lilting, haunting voice as Duncan listened. Faster and faster turned the wheels of his black convertible coupe as he heard tlie girlis charming voice come over the radio in his fashionable ca1'. Anyone meeting Duncan for the first tfme would notice his immaculate clothes and well-groomed appearance. 'Ihey would also notice his unsteady eyes and weak chin. Duncan was not a good person to know. He was one of the smart 400', of Riverview who always had his own way and his difliculties were always straightened out for him by his uncle, Judge Adler. But tonight he was running away because his uncle was dead. . . murdered by Duncan. He could no longer straighten out Duncan's troubles for him. The young man winced as he remembered Uncle Homer's anger at him the other day and how he had said: No, I will not give you any more money and I refuse to pay your racing debts for youf, The older man did not often lose his temper, but this time he pounded his fist on the desk in his study and shouted: ,nl have tried to bring you up in a Way that I thought best and you wouldn't pay any attention to me, but now, he continued in a towering rage, I am through, absolutely through! You will have to earn money for yourselff' With these last words he had slammed out of the room and THE CAULDHON 17 gone to his law ollice. Duncan had been trying to borrow money from his would-be friends for two days, but to no avail. Finally, in desperation, he had returned to his uncle's home Friday night. As no one was home he decided to open the safe and take the money that he needed. Yes, steal the money, or do anything to get it in his urgent need. We interrupt this program, and Duncan was snapped back to the present as he listened, to bring you the startling news that Iudge Homer Adler was found dead in the study of his home--- Hearing this, a train of reminiscences went through Duncan's mind. Yes, as Duncan had been t1'ying to open the safe, Judge Adler had come into his study and barked, What are you doing here? I am going to call the policef' As he started to the telephone Duncan remembered the gun in the left hand drawer of the desk, Leaping to the drawer he pulled it open and, grabbing the gun, pointed it at his uncle. If you telephone the policef he screamed, 'Tll shoot. Watching his uncle advance toward the telephone, he pulled the trigger. He heard the explosion and watched his uncle fall to the floor. Without stopping to examine the fallen body, Duncan threw the gun at his uncleis side, dashed out of the house, into his car, and drove away. Now, as the wheels turned faster and faster, Duncan thought of his uncle lying on the floor and what would happen to him if he were caught. He was trying to think of some explanation or some place to hide, as the speedometer went from 50 to 60 to 70. Finally coming back to his surroundings he heard the news announcer say - and evidently the judge had the intention of taking his life as a gun was found by his body with one shell gone. This afternoon the judge's personal physician had told him that his days were numbered because of a weak heart. The shot was merely a blank catridge and it was the shock that killed him. Hearing this, Duncan's heart leaped with joy and anticipation. Now he could pay his racing debts, and take the trip to Bermuda he had planned. Why, he was on easy street. No, he was not sorry for his dead uncle, only sorry that it had not been done befo1'e. Realizing that it was getting late and wishing to hurry back and inquire about collecting the money, Duncan drew his eyes back to the road. Suddenly a look of intense horror appeared on his face. In front of him was a sharp curve with a sheer drop below. Duncan was too terrified to try to prevent the inevitable, and with a shudder the car plunged through the rail to the ledges fifty feet below. When the police got there Duncan had died of a broken neck. Still the soft, haunting voice of a girl could be heard singing her theme song, Slowly, I opened my eyes -- .

Payson THE YANKEE CLIPPER To the New England Clipper ships of Cod, of man and sail I give you this, New England,s hail A clipper ship of sail and booming gale The clipper ship, the ship that couldn't fail. You've sailed a whole world's oceans o,er You've given us rich, full ocean loreg The past saw you bring your country greatness, ' It saw you give your country proudness. New England made you of Vermont oak New England,s lives and hearts you broke, Carolinais pitch was in your seams You carried Carolinais hopes and dreams. American cotton gave it toughness, That your sails might stand the rough- ness, The shipwright and carpenter gave their A arts, Your men and masters gave their hearts. New England gave her salty sons That you might make those wondrous runs. Around the Cape and Horn you went Wherever God's winds were sent. 20 THE CAULDRON You, Clipper Ship, gave us many things, From your travels came lndia's ruby rings You brought us India's culture, spices, After you,d outbravecl Cape Hornis ices. Greatest of all you brought tales of others Stories of the rest of man, our brothers You bound a world, oh clipper ship, You, who sailed with wind and whip. The sun has set on your gleaming sails Now youire free from the death of gales Although youire left your wondrous sea And courier no longer will you be, As long as sea lovers' memories fly You, the clipper ship, will never die. R. D. Bowden, Jr. ON THE SHELF This one is shiny, smooth and new, This one is brown while this one is blue, Hereis one whose life is almost done, Man, see the queer looking shape of this One! This big blast furnace is beaten and cracked, N6,C1' will be used again it is a fact. Take a look at this one right on the end, It came from Russia by reverse Lease- Lend. I-Iere is a Scotchman, it has always a scent, This one was Pershingis, it never is lent. Ah, here is one whose heart is still warm, But this one bites like an atomic bomb. This old wreck came oier with the Dutch, It may be worn out but it's worth very much. Look at this big, beautiful briar, 'Twas used long ago by an old English friar. This one was cast away by a Greek, It holds quite enough to last for a week. This one belonged to a great millionaire, While this one was won at the old county fair. Next is an old one, it's carved like an ox, Built pretty rugged to stand lots of hard knocks. ' This was a fighting Cermaifs pride, Taken from Fritzy after he died. I-Iere is an Indian's symbol of peace, This one's a laborer's, covered with grease. Oh, here is one of Woolwortlfs best, And this one belonged to a cowhand out VVest. , This one was taken from a wily Turk As he was walking on his way to work. This one will fill with pride and joy The heart of any college boy. You see on the shelf some old, some new, Some cracked, some battered, some priceless, too, Some round, some carved-here's one like an elf. Yes, this is a collection of pipes on the shelf. Kenneth A. Chatto THE CAULDRON 21 DEPARTURE So with a grinding squeak of the rusty 1 chains They hoist anchor and slip away. Old Sol has yet to show his head Above the hills around the bay, As Polaris and Aquarius . Start to slowly fade away. 2 Far olf you can hear a seagull sound His lonesome, plaintive ery, And now an ebon comorant Awkwardly splashes by. 3 Through the mist slowly rising from the bay, A tall sleek ship you can see, Its sails are set to the wind'ard- A small boat goes by in the lee. 4 On the deck is the buzzing and the hust- ling Of the rugged, wind-tanned crew, VVhile the mate and the cap'n are down below Plotting the course straight and true. 5 The mate goes over to one of the ports And silently reads the glass', While back on deck are a few of the men Patiently polishing brass. 6 The Quartermaster takes his post at the helm, The captain barks a command, They all are wondering where the next stop will be- Near home or in a foreign land. 7 'KAnchors Aweighn is the command from the bridge. Let's be oil: and on our Wayf' 8 They pass some other tall sleek ships And fishboats with their gulls. Itis low tide now, and there on the port They pass rotting skeleton hulls. 9 . They set their sails as they pass the buoy, And on the shore a crane, Like a sort of sentinel seems to say, Come back to the Coast of Mainef, Kenneth A. Chatto TI-IE LOSERU When the smoke and dust have lifted And the battle is lost and won, Whether it be basketball or football Or any game just for fun, There is always a happy victor Who is cheered for many days. But no one thinks of the loser Or gives him any praise. No one says, Nice game, fellerf' Or bestows on him any cheers. No, all that is left for the loser Are the numerous boos and jeers. It's a cruel world we live in, But Weill have to accept the boos, For in any game where there's a winner There isvalso one who must lose. Robert Achorn 22 THE CAULDHON LOCK AND KEY You arrive home in early morng Your mind is wearlyg your nerves are worn. Youire cursing the evil twists of fate, That have kept you up and out so late. Into your pocket goes your hand, Your eyes are heavy with the Sandman's Sand, You search for your key to open the door- Itis always been in that pocket before!! You search in your trousers and in your coat- The elusive thing is getting your goat- Finally, you find the little pest In the lower pocket of your vest. Then you get a minor shock- Some fool's stolen the hole of the lock!! You feel and probe and poke and scratch And finally find it's right under the latch! By now youire mad and wide awake:- Youare unaware of the noise you make, ,Till once when you step on a squeeky stair A window goes up with a Quiet down therevlll You silently curse the sleepless guy- And turn to give it another try. After Ending the hole, you push the key. Why it won't go in you cannot see! You push and push 'till with a frown, You find the blamed thing's upside downg ' Seething anger blinds your sight And you throw the key far into the night. After some semblance of reason returns You take out your flashlight that never burns And venture forth to hunt and seek. Youll! End that key if it takes a week! Luck is with you and in less than an hour You iind the key, and with thoughts quite SOU1' . Return to the door fully resigned To another hour of this hopeless grand. You place the key up to the lock And then receive a pleasant shock The key slips in as easy's you please- But at this point you have to sneeze! The key flies out to the lord knows where As you're doubled over with the expul- sion of air You drop the flashlight with a crash And the bulb is broken in a tinkling smash! You sit down on the step and howl Like a hungry wolf out on the prowlg You spit and curse and then you swear And squash your hat and tear your hair. HGH When morning comes with a burst of light Along comes a man all dressed in white And he leads you off as you rant and yell To a nice and quiet PADDED CELL. Margeson THE CAULDHON 2.3 ,TO MY ALARM CLOCK Oh time-piece that I know so well You are so mean to me- For you wake me with your bellg When just asleep I seem to be. You wake me with a raucous shout That brings me to my feet As the cowhell's tones ring out Against a violin's song so sweet. Yes, you are very annoying When in the early morn Gust when with dreams lim toyingl By you my slumberis torn. So do not be surprised, my clock If by Adawnis gray light some day Against the wall your head I knock flf you don't stop rousing me, I maylj Robert Margeson A TURN TO THE RIDICULOUS A fat boy who lived in Genoa I-Iad a seat in the school near the door He sat down in his chair But the chair wasn't there And Porky crashed down through the floor. There was a young man from Lynn On the races he never could win When Son of a Gun Paid one-hundred to one, Oh boy, how the money rolled in. A scientist by name, jack Knight Was an expert on the physics of light. A glowworm he crossed, With a bee that was lost, So the poor thing could work in the night. Kenneth A, Chatto LEST WE FORGET A war has just been fought and won By men of every creed. A war thatis brought much tragedy Along with victory. Many boys are returning home- Home to begin anew All the things they left undone When called to the red, white, and blue. There's a flag that hangs in a window tonight lfVith a gold star shining bright. This is the flag for men who died That theirsons might not have to fight. These men have died that we might live In a land with freedom from fear. Letis not forget their sacrifice But remember with each new year. Only those will understand Who wait for a loved one in vain. They know what it means to receive the news That lieill not he home again. For even though they fought to win In every moment of the strife, They won the battle of the world But lost their fight for life.

To us, then Freshmen, however, it was a very important day, for we had taken the first big step in our high school education. Bewilderinent was written on most of our faces as we wandered through the corridors getting acquainted with the rooms, learning what qlengthyi' assignments meant and, above all, quarterly exams. V' The night of the freshman reception we were a group of scared and timid kids . It wasnit as bad as predicted, even though some of us did receive rather rough treatment. We survived, however, and 'Were then considered part of the happy family of Rockland High. Football, basketball, baseball games, track, Kippy Karnival and skipping school are deemed the most important events of our freshmen year. With vacation in our hearts we gladly returned our books to the shelves and Went off to enjoy a summer of work and play. Back from summer camps, Work and recreation, brown as Indians-or lob- ster red-we picked up our books and decided that we would study diligently during the year, regardless of extra-curricular activities. The stndious beginning was interrupted by the old clothing drive and a whop- ping big parade. After this we never did get back to our normal pace and re- member our resolutions. Then came Sophomore Prize Speaking. Wie shivered and shook during those weeks and when it came time for finals, those of us who were left, were in a state of nervous tension. Oh, the agony of it alll Needless to say, we did study that year and accomplish much, but with Kip- py Karnival staring us in the face we quickly put studying in the back of our minds and contributed our talent and help to make it go over big another year. June rolled around as usual with warm air and sunshine, and with thoughts of vacation ahead, we somewhat sadly, exchanged our books for swimming suits and working hours knowing that a few of us would not return in the fall. Well, We were therel Upper classmen at last. The situation of war developing more crucial than ever this year we settled down to studying-and studying hard- for who could foretell what the next few months would bring forth. Don't Take My Pennyf, Senior Freedom, more of us learning to dance, the Karnival Ball, the F our Freedomsi' plays, debating, junior librarians, bank and orchestra provided excellent diversion from the old grindv. ' VVhen it- came time for the seniors to graduate we all pitched in and helped THE CAULDRON 47 decorate, looking forward to the day when We were completing high school. Dignified Seniors! We had at last reached the final year of high school. Now it was our turn to entertain the new fresh and by using old and new tricks, we managed to welcome the greenhorns,' into the family very efliciently. Yes in- deedl Mollie O'Shaughnessy,n The Tangled Webf New York City, Washington D. C., train rides, the junior Prom, Saturday nights in the Tower Room, Thurs- day night dances, the Link trainer, sub,' teachers, heated class meetings, and es- pecially the noisy disagreements about the diplomas and graduation march will not be forgotten quickly. We laughed, cribbed, fought and even shed a few tears through four long years together. We shall always remember our classmates and teachers, the latter no doubt a little relieved to see the last of our pranks and corn-fed jokes. We do not intend to convey the impression that our main object in school was merely to have a good time, for along with the fun we have learned at least part of those things which the teachers have tried to impress upon our not too re- ceptive minds. We have also achieved a certain amount of unity through cooper- ation with others in school and in the class. Now we are to go our separate and individual ways-the class of '46 becomes part of the alumni of R, H. S. So, farewell, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and teachers. May you miss us as much as we'll miss you. Betty Gray CLASS PROPHECY-1946 Before your class prophet could undertake the ordeal of writing a prophecy, she had first to find out exactly what a prophecy was. According to my diligent research through the pages of VVebster's Dictionary, I found that the definition of said word is a prediction, especially by divine inspiration. Seated comfortably in an overstuffed chair by the fire, pen in hand, I waited for a divine inspiration. After fifteen minutes of waiting, I put the radio on and settled back. Suddenly, I found myself walking down a dark corridor toward a shining gate which opened magically as I neared it. A dirty little boy had a packet under his arm which he agreed to give me for my silver anklet. We exchanged and the gates reopened. I stumbled on my way out and the package opened and spread 82 little scrolls at my feet. I bent over to pick them up and discoverednthat I was back in the living room.

However, in spite of having a new coach and a fairly inexperienced team, the boys did try hard and al- though they didn't win every game, they always put up a good show. The sea- son's first game was played at Skowhegan. The Rockland High Tigers gave fav- ored Skowliegan High a good iight for their money and ended the game with the score tied at 7-7. In the second game, we played host to St. Louis High at Biddeford. St. Louis played a different type of game than most of the Rockland boys had ever experi- enced and even though the Tigers fought back hard they were unable to stop the onslaught. The final score was St. Louis 43, Rockland 0. The next game was played with Higgins Classical Institute, a prep school team out of our class. This team also proved too much for our boys, the final score 60 THE CAULDRON being Higgins 26, Rockland 0. The game with Morse High of Bath was probably the best played game of this season. The team traveled to Bath and on a muddy field they made a very good showing for themselves. The Morse team barely edged out the Rocklandites by a score of 13 to our 6. Then Gardiner came to Rockland and we lost another, this time only 12-O. Our first victory of the season came when the Tigers, traveling to Belfast, took on Crosby High's team and literally ran away with them. The Rockland boys came home with a 27-13 victory under their belts. All was not easy going though after the Crosby game as we dropped two in a row. 48-0 to Winslow and 39-0 to Brunswick. We did, however, end the season with another victory when Hallowell High visited us. The outcome of this game was never in doubt and the final score was Rockland 26, Hallowell 0. The seniors on the squad were Okie F lint, Sandy Cray, Cliff Cameron, Bob Achom, Bob Margeson, Chicken T rask, Earl Hayford and Dave Farrand. THE CAULDRON 61 BASKETBALL Firsl Row-Dornenick Murgita, Earl Bartlett, Donald Kelsey, Donald Mt-Lellan, Donald Marsh, William Holden. Second How-WVeslcy Martin CMgr.l Meredith Shapiro, Royce Lunt, Allston Bartlett, janncs Conncllan, Robert Tccl, Frank Thompson, Coach VVillett. The basketball season this year got off to a rather poor startg but on the whole, the team had a very successful year. VVe lost the first game to Boothbay Harbor on December 4, 1945 by a score of 27-18. Then We traveled to Brewer and lost 24-22 there, but the boys showed a marked improvement over their first game. The next game was played at Gardiner and We lost another. This time the score was 41-32. When Waldoboro High came to visit us, we won our first game. The boys 62 THE CAULDRON were improving more each time they played. The score was 57-23. That game really started the ball rolling as we took Thomaston on their home court by a score of 38-28 and Boothbay Harbor on their court by a count of 54-41. Then Lincoln Academy came to Rockland and we took them easily 52- 28. The game with Cony High of Augusta was one of the best games of the year. Cony came down with hopes of avenging their defeat here last year. But the Rockland boys had no idea of such a thing happening and they sent them home with a 32-23 defeat. We won easily from Camden 44-27. Gardiner came to Rockland on january 22. The Tigers played a very good game but were unable to top the Gardiner team. However, Gardiner had no easy time of it as they won only by a score of 37-31. We then went to Augusta to play the return game with Cony. Our boys couldn,t quite overcome the advantage that Cony had on their home floor. The final score-Cony 31, Rockland 28. From then on the rest was easy as Crosby went down 54-16, Camden 59-22, Brewer 62-25 C this paid them back for the defeat they handed ns at Brewery, Thomaston 49-29, Waldoboro 45-34, Crosby 57-29 and we ended the league season by defeating Lincoln Academy 58-21. We played two beneiit games this year. The Hrst being played with Coburn Classical Institute of Waterville on March 6, 1946 for the benefit of the P. T. A. We were really shown some good basketball that game by both teams. Rockland, outclassed, lost 39-37. The Red Cross benefit game was played March 8, 1946, against Knox-Lincoln All Stars. The Hnal count was 54-30. This gave us an admirable record of 14 wins and 6 losses and we tallied 873 points to our opponents, 575. Much credit goes to Coach Willet for the fine job he did this year. The only senior on the squad was Okie Flint, who was unable to finish the season because of his enlistment in the Navy. So next year, the team will be very much the same as this year and you can expect some more basketball from them again.

Last year we held three track meets and won one and came in second in the other two. This year we can look forward to another successful season. Last yearis baseball was cut short by transportation dithculties and muddy fields. However, Rockland won the Knox County Championship and lost to Booth- bay Harbor, the Lincoln County winner in the Knox-Lincoln playoff game. The best game of the year, which we won after a long hard struggle, was played with Morse High of Batbg score 3-2. Rockland broke one Maine schoolboy record by getting 22 runs in one inning against Vinalhaven. We won 7 games and lost 4. This year we have a very good nucleus for a team that will equal or better last year's record. 64 THE CAULDRON GIRLS, BASKETBALL Standing left to righf -Lynne Rogers, Betsy Cooper, Barbara Jackson, Mrs. l-Ielen Over- man, chaperone-g Louise Connolly, Charlotte Cowan, Gayle Rogers, Betty Pendleton.

She heard that Harrison Day, a young author, was coming to town in search of a star for his book, Stars in Her Hairf' However, Penny has quite a bit of competition, as a maid, who was a movie star in childhood, is planted in the house. Kerry, Penny's boy friend who was very neglected during that time impersonated the producer and tried to discourage Penny. Amid all the compli- cations the story finally ends with Mavis, Pennyis sister, getting the contract, the maid marrying Mark, Penny's brother and Penny and Kerry both happy that Pen- ny has decided to be just herself.
