MVT E RHHy l n will IIIQI 'i' B 6 THE CAULDHON FARE THEE WELL Amid the hustle and bustle of averaging marks, marching, trying on caps and gowns, preparations for the ball, we, seniors, some of us at least, find ourselves getting a little sentimental. Perhaps we're feeling this way be- cause we're beginning to realize that we are leaving the best times of our young lives behind and that we are going out into a world of every man for himself -a world that is entirely new and different for us. We're graduating from high school-from four long years of fun, studying and working together-graduating from Rockland High School, the school we've cheered for on the sidelines, played for, worked for and stood by. Our school, though a small one, has offered us, besides a variety of extra curricular activities that even a large school can not far exceed, the little things that a city school can not provide. Our school is really one big, happy family-we strive together, help one another and work for the honor of our family name. After graduation our little family breaks up. We go out on our own- some to another alma mater, some to jobs, professions, but we all are going by ourselves no more to be the carefree teen-agers enjoying school games, plays, Karnivals, proms and the everyday after-school chats and get togethers-all the joys of happy adolescents. Now we're leaving ado- lescence and becoming adults who have a more important and significant part to play in life. From now on, we can't look on at country affairsg we must take part in them and be responsible. The path we have chosen in our adult life will be full of ruts, turns and disappointments. It will not be easy and at times we'll have our doubts as to whether the effort is worth the cost. Keeping in mind that we get out of life as much as we put into it, we say goodbye to our carefree youth and face the world with a trust and confidence we hope will not be vanquished as time marches on. MARY CARRILLO THE BASIL CASE The sign on the door read: Harold J ameson-District Attorney . Inside, the office was plain but attractive. An oldish man in a black suit sat at the maple desk and was talking on a telephone, J im, will you come in here a minute? Yes, it's important. The door to the inner office was opened a few seconds later by a young man who was the assistant district attorney. Sit down, Jim, I've got some news for you. Remember the Basil case in which the star and only witness for the state was murdered ? Sure, I remember. That was just before I came here. Got some new evidence on it? Jim went over and sat on the desk. How about starting from the beginning and letting me get the story straight? Here it is. A year ago Mr. Blane, the head banker at the People's Bank, was killed in a holdup. There was a watchman who saw the man come in and kill Blane. For a while he kept quiet, but, when he found out that the killer thought no one had seen him, the watchman reported to me. Of course, the 51,000 reward had no effect on him. Wasn't the watchman's name Zed Carny ? Yes, that's right. Somehow the killer discovered what Old Zed knew THE CAULDRON 7 and that he was going to be the star witness against him. Duke Basil did the actual shooting. You think that there were more than the one ? Jim was really interested now. Certainly do. Duke's girl, Patsy, was mixed in it somewhere. Last night there was another murder, an old cronie of Duke's. Think you can handle it? Jameson hoped he could. What plan do I use? Jim wanted it so he could prove that he was able to do something by himself. You'll be a veteran who is sick of the way he's being treated. You've got no job and want to make money . The veteran part will be a snap. Do I use my own papers? I don't think anyone knows meg I'm not that well known yet. A pleasant grin came to J im's face. It will be all right to use them. Take a room down town, send in your reports by mail. Don't take any chances and try to get acquainted with the girl. Good luck, J im. They shook hands. Jim paused, then turned and shut the door hard behind him. Pkvkfkvkilf Sally, can you spare a moment ? Yes, Mr. Jameson. I'll be right in. As Sally went into the office she saw Jameson, standing before a window smoking a cigarette and thinking hard about something. Did you want to dictate a letter? Sally felt a strange silence in that room. What? Oh, Sally, will you get J im's reports on the Basil case? I want all those up to today's. Here they are, Mr. Jameson. Is that all ? Yes, that's all. I don't want to be disturbed until I tell you. The door closed softly. He took the batch of papers over to his desk, sat down and started to scan the reports. They were suspicious at first.-Haven't met Patsy yet.-Duke satisfied after first week.-Asked about old pal that was killed. A mistake. Learned to be more careful.-Took Patsy dancing.-Three weeks later :-Duke going to lie low. Plans small jobs for others.-Boys wonder what I'm doing in the outfit.--Haven't pulled job yet.-Spent evening at Patsy's apart- ment.-Trying to put off doing any job with Duke's boys.-Patsy threw over Duke for me.-Will have to hurry up plans to catch them. Darn fool, I told him to be careful. Jameson looked Worried and had reason to. Better read today's report. Planted dictograph in my room. Having Patsy up after dinner.-Think I can get her to confess.-Be glad when it's over. My God! If Duke ever gets wind of that, Jim's a goner. But I can't do anything now he's gone this far. Picking up the phone he says, Sally, you can close the office for the day. Early next morning as Jameson was leaving his apartment he heard someone coming up the stairs. Jim, It's good to see you again. Have you got what we need ? His voice sounded anxious and worried as he looked at Jim. I've got it. Let's get it over with quickly. The weariness showed in his face. It took only three weeks to complete the trial. Patsy confessed to the killing of the old member of the gang because he was going to the police 8 THE CAULDICON and implicate her in the first killing. Duke also confessed to the murder of the banker. Patsy asked for mercy because she claimed that she had changed her way of living. Both verdicts were-- guilty as charged. They were to die in the electric chair within two months. Jim testified at the trial. Well, Jim, it's time to go. Are you sure you want to? You seem to be taking it plenty bad. Yes, I want to go, and I'll be all right. Jameson didn't believe him but said nothing. Neither spoke on the way to the prison. Hello, Warden Kaler, this is my assistant, Jim Lassen. The warden was a tall chunky man, who puffed impressively on a cigar. Howdy, Jim. This is a bit unusual, you know, but go right in. There are only a few minutes left. As he said this he went to the prisoner's cell. Come then, J img the reporters must be there already. The lights were bright as Patsy was led to the chair. The priest was mut- tering a prayer. Before she sat down Patsy looked up to the observer's window and saw Jim. Then they placed her in the chair-put the clamps on-the lights dimmed-the warden nodded-the switch was thrown and Jim jumped. Half an hour later the prison doctor pronounced Patsy dead. That was about noon. Late in the afternoon just before closing time Jameson looked up from his work to notice Jim coming through the door. I've been Wondering Where you ducked out to. Couldn't find you any place. Oh, Jim, don't mind if I ask you but how come you wanted to go to the girl's execution and not Duke's ? I've got something for you, Hal. It's my resignation. Your what! You must be kidding, Jim! Why this case made you. You've got great possibilities! You'll get used to these things. I'm not fooling, Hal. Here it is. Jim's voice was hard and his face strained. You asked why I went to Patsy's execution-and why this, well, I'll tell you. I can never be a lawyer or have anything more to do with a court room again. You see, Hal,-I loved her! ELIZABETH FRASER COMING HOME The moon was sinking low in the west and the twinkling stars were beginning to dim. A lingering moonbeam extended its ray until it illum- inated an earthly star-a blue service star, the kind that was found in many lonely windows during the grueling war years. This particular star had been receiving the moon's rays for three years, but tonight it seemed to shimmer and dance in the moonlight, perhaps because this day was destined to be a special one. Inside the house, all was serene. The hungry fingers of light from the street-lamp outside found their way to the picture of a smiling soldier, dimly lighting it. The family clock had just chimed three, when all this serenity was pierced by the shriek of the telephone. It rang impatiently as if eager to have its receiver lifted! After what seemed an eternity, Pam, the teen-age daughter of the family, came stumbling down the stairs and, taking up the receiver, said in a drowsy voice, Hel.lo . As if by magic her whole countenance suddenly lighted up and turning, she fairly screamed upstairs, Oh Mum! Dad! It's Jimmie! Oh, It's Jimmie! THE CAULDHON 9 In a fiash Mother, Dad, and ten year old Donnie came rushing down the stairs. Pam handed the phone to her mother and from then on there was a hubbub of happiness as each had his turn at the phone. The sound of J immie's voice had transformed this lonely household. Dad's shoulders straightened up, Mom looked years younger, glowing in the warmth of finally realized relaxation, and the children were excited as they had been when awaiting their first remembered visit of Santa Claus. As soon as Dad put down the receiver, the family began piecing together the scattered details of Jimmie's coversation. The still only half-appre- ciated fact was that Jimmie was coming home as soon as the train could bring him. Sleep was impossible for the rest of that night. Mom was busy making a list of Jimmie's favorite meals. Dad sat in his favorite chair, thinking how nice it would be to have his eldest son home. Pam was worry- ing about what she would say to her big brother who had been just a memory for three years, while little Don was thinking of all the questions he would ask Jim about B-29's, Jap air attacks, and the other things which make up a ten year old boy's dream world. No one thought of the time until little Donnie said, Look, the sun is shining ! Each member of the family put aside his reveries, and the house was filled with joyous laughter. Jimmie was coming home! CAROLYN HOWARD THE MIRACULOUS PRANK It was an established fact, founded upon experience by the juvenile citizens of Harborsville in the year 1890, that Mr. Percy Vaughn was a mean person. Therefore, the fact that he was the schoolmaster was con- sidered the hateful injustice of fate. To have to go to school, according to the younger generation, was worse than a big dose of horrible boiled herbs, administered each spring. Alas, Mr. Vaughn was also a firm believer in wielding the rod and disci- plining the child, and if practice makes perfect, he was a champion in his own right. Like the rod, he laid down the law where it would do the most good and expected to be obeyed, which he invariably was. The complaining words of their offspring fell unheeded on the parents' ears. If there was any person who could put the fear of chastisement into the minds of their little darlings, he had their blessings. On one stormy winter's day, Mr. Vaughn sat, as usual, upon the long low platform behind his wide desk. The lines in his forehead formed their un- ceasing frown and his spectacles hung precariously off the tip of his very long nose. Every now and then, he raised his head from the map he was studying and surveyed the classroom with a quick scowl. Assured that no foul-play was in progress, he returned to his work, giving a long grunt which never failed to give the dainty maids cause to jump. The pupils, pigtails occupying one side of the room and swains, the other, were supposedly delving into the history of the world when the big oak door opened and closed again with a decided bang , All eyes jumped to the right and grew wide with pity at the sight of a fellow-child, although a stranger, standing there, one hour late. The young man swaggered nonchalantly across the room and stopped 10 THE CAULDRON in front of the platform. The horrified on-lookers held their breath, Mr. Vaughn scowled his worst scowl. What excuse have you for entering the door of a school at this time of day ? rumbled Mr. Vaughn. I'm new here, answered the boy, in a somewhat shrill but very brave manner, it seemed to the admiring damsels. That's no excuse. Sensing impending danger, the gallant youth decided that a word to the wise would not be improper. My Pa owns the biggest button fact'ry in Fairfax. His name's Joel Slokum, jest like mine. In fact, he added, drawing himself up proudly, I was named fer 'im. Where do I hang my coat, huh ? By this time Mr. Vaughn was in a dark rage. The mere thought that any child would dare to address him without even having the dignity to tremble was suffocating. He seized young Joel by the scruff of the neck and escorted him, none too gently, to a seat near the rear of the room. He gave him a book and commanded him to study. Joel was not accustomed to this sort of treatment and, having been given a sample, didn't relish it all 3 therefore, he set to work. Very carefully, he stood the history book before his face, which, now, had taken on the kind of expression that one always associates with a pair of wings. Then, reach- ing into his trouser pocket, he pulled out a soiled page of the Harborsville Weekly Journal which he proceeded to tear, as noiselessly as possible, into bits. Having guessed, by this time, the nature of this industrious endeavor, the gentlemen nearest him watched with horror-stricken countenances. After he had acquired enough ammunition, he drew forth his weapon. The boys gasped with delight at the beauty of the thing. It was sandpapered to a smooth roundness, and painted bright red, the most wonderful sling- shot they had ever seen.'Crumpling up the pieces of paper into little balls, he dumped them carefully into the ink-well. Then he let Hy! The advance guard sallied a bit for a few practice shots at the heads of the boys around him and then was ready for bigger game. Mr. Vaughn nearly fainted. He stood there, ink dripping off the end of his nose and running into his eyes, shaking with fury. The girls sobbedg the boys squirmed 3 master Joel gulped. Instead of the customary two rods, Joel was the sorrowful recipient of three. But Joel was nobody's dunce. The next day he ambled in, an hour late, behind a tall bony creature who glared at Mr. Vaughn through small beady eyes. Yes, Mr. Vaughn was about to meet his match, and Joel could hardly wait. His mother could out-scowl the schoolmaster, out-stare him, and her nose was much longer. Well, baby-beater, what have you to say for yourself ? she fairly shrieked. Madam, your son is quite a grown boy, answered Mr. Vaughn, slightly bewildered. Oh, I ain't so big, am I, Ma Y wailed Joel, hoping to encourage friction. You keep out of this, she growled, then to Mr. Vaughn said, I want an explanation. P Some other time, perhaps. I ........ began Mr. Vaughn. Immediately 1 commanded the irate matron. Mr. Vaughn resigned himself to his fate and described the incident in THE CAULDRON 11 detail, omitting the fact that he had scrubbed his face half the evening, try- ing to remove the ink, although he still looked a little bluer today than usual. Mrs. Slokum refused to believe that that was any reason to beat an innocent child who didn't mean any harm. My Joel wouldn't hurt any human being intentionally, she snapped, wagging a finger in his face. That's right, ma, and it was an accident anyway. See? She turned around, and Joel said, All I did was this. O-0-o-h mit! Pandemonium broke loose. Joel streaked through the door. His mother, ink streaming down her face, was close behind him. The girls were crying wildly and the boys were watching the chase anxiously through the open door. Mr. Vaughn was-the pupils' mouths dropped and their eyes popped. Mr. Vaughn was laughing! In fact, Mr. Vaughn was roaring! LORRAINE CURRY SIX GUN JUSTICE The three men backed out of the bank and mounted their horses. Then they rode. Coming from the Cattlemen's Saloon Paul Crozier saw them leave, but as he was newly arrived on the scene, fan empty main street in the western town of Pine Forksl he did nothing whatsoever to stop them. It was only as they passed the office of Sheriff Cates that he became aware that some- thing was up. For guns talked to each other and one of the three out-going riders jerked savagely in his saddle. This was the event that happened in the mid-day quiet spell in the hot dusty western desert town of Pine Forks. Paul Crozier was a man of few words, but he possessed a great imagina- tion. He saw in his mind's eye, three men riding out of Pine Forks with his, Sadie's and the kid's life savings. Paul hit saddle leather--he could beat them, he figured, at El Condo, the only water hole in many miles. They would be sure to go to El Condo, even if they were headed into Mexico to hide. In the bank, the president and a clerk lay dead. There had been no shoot- ing on the robbers' part. These careful men were too cautious for that. They had forced the employees of the bank to stand face forward against a wallg then while two of them had pushed currency into a saddle bag, the third had gun butted the bank's president and the clerk over the head and killed them. The three men entered El Condo at sun up, and rode to the place where the water hole lay situated in the center of town. Suddenly they stopped, they had noticed something, a tall lean rider on horseback was mounted directly in front of the water hole confronting them. He looked into their sunburned eyes, and they thought of their parched throats. Paul said, slow and easy like, Water for the money, gents. Guns cleared leather and spoke in the early morning air, crisp and staccato. Paul Crozier's hands had filled first of all, he had expected such an answer. One of the three men did not attempt to draw. Sheriff Cates' bullet, fired back in Pine Forks, had cured him of all desire. His com- 12 THE CAULDHON patriots flew from their saddles, their drawn unsmoking guns mocked them. Paul Crozier left them there. He took hold of the wounded man's horse and pulled it behind him. Its rider seemed to be hit somewhere in the shoulderbone. Without stopping for rest Paul Crozier headed home. He had his money now-and he had a man to hang. LEO RICHARD CONNELLAN THE LIFE I LEAD At 6:30 the alarm buzzes. As I open first one eye then the other, I think of the day before me. There is not much to think about, just the same old things I have been going through for the last twelve years. I have reasons to think this is my last one in this employment. This job I have is a very odd one when you come down to the facts. First, I have been forced to work here, and second, I have several bosses, each having an individual job for me every day. As I report three minutes late in the morning, I am immediately jumped upon by my first boss, who checks us in and gives us the day's rules and regulations. He starts giving me the third degree, Where have you been ? Before I can answer, he bellows, Why? Why? At this, I drop my head, and he continues, Report to me after business hours tonight. I go to my post and wait for the signal to go to the next assignment. There are also many other employees who work for this concern under like conditions. At last, I get the signal. Springing from my post, I push away the congested employees in order to get to my next job in time. I do not wish to arrive late. This boss gives me notes, et cetera, which I write down rapidly in order not to miss anything. I must get it all because some other day I will have to reel it back to him. When we get in the middle of what we are doing, we get another signal telling us it is time to move on. I grab my tools and push my way to the third job. This work is my most difficult. I have been trying to get rid of it for the last three years but to no avail. Everytime I return they push it in my face so that I can't get out of doing it. At last, the end! Now I can rest for ten minutes and eat a littleg I am famished. The bell! Here we go again to grind out the rest of the day. I manage to get through it somehow. Then, the last signal booms. Now I can go out into the fresh air and to rest for another day. I drag myself away thinking that in 16 hours, 27 minutes, 49 seconds I will have to come back to go through the same procedure. DAVID HOCH THE CAULDRON 13 SCHOOL YEAR The Freshmen enter high school Full of dread and fear, ' Knowing not what lies before them- And feeling loss of friends and cheer. Next year they are Sophomores With confidence well in hand, Looking down upon the Freshmen- Such a green and childish band. The Juniors just go drifting Neither back nor forward look. Only one more year of struggle Then they ne'er will touch a book. Now at last they are Seniors, So dignified and cool, They embark with courage on the Sea of life As they say, Farewell to school. LUCY RACKLIFF MAINE SUMMER There is a place where the spruce trees grow, Deep and thick in the sunlight's glow, And the ledges rise To meet the skies. Granite white Against the blue Of the rolling sea, And the bright sky too. Where a stiff breeze tosses waves up high And sailboats scud beneath the sky The breeze is filled with scents like these, Tangy sea and green spruce trees. The lobster boats go to their moorings, Their engines making muffled roar- ings, The last trap buoy tossed behind, the last crab caught, The last kelp line untangled from the warps pulled taut. The scene is set For a perfect day, Sailing along Down Spruce Head Way. LEATRICE C. NUTT TIME n V This form no human eye can gaze on, This Cain of man and beast alike- N o favor shows. It but rolls in silent, majestic swells To engulf all. Resist it ? Can the Sun refuse to shine? The night to fall? ' They alike have no cause to voice, But with silent majestic force, like All the rest, Each has labor to perform- To bring to this nothingless order, Beauty or purpose. The rest have passing sights to mark Their crests of beauty or moments Of silent glory. Time, forgetful, forgiving, His gaze on scatteredtoys of man, Knows alone the force that moves it all. SEWARD R. DINSMORE MY REVERIE Time, with all your endless fetters, Release us now, I pray. Let us dwell entranced forever In the mem'ries of today. To us the path of Youth is open: We linger 'midst its charm. Its beauty and tranquillity Preserve us from all harm. We yet have seen no toil or strife, The world's a mystery,- A challenge to our eager minds, Like the endless sea. Beyond us lie the threads of fate, Unknown and unforeseen. Our life is but a fieeting hour- A fragment of a dream. In yonder days, so far away, I fondly hope to be Pure in heart and rich in love,- A servant, Lord, for Thee. gs JANE PERRY 14 THE CAULDRON WHEN A MAN TARRIES What is that weaving down the street? Oh, it's Bill in his rickety car. I can't see how it ever runs, Look at that door all ajar. Hi ya, Bill, need any gas? Oh, you're still using kerosene. Well, how about oil? Don't tell me now I'm sure you think fish oil keen. Say, where are you going today, Bill? Way up to Appleton Ridge? Now, why are you going so far away? Oh, to see your best girl Midge. Do you think she will hold together, Bill? No, not Midge, this rickety car. That motor is knocking and pounding And that Ridge is pretty far. I don't think she's put together right. What's that wire nailed to the seat? I can't understand your workmanship. Just where do you put your feet? So you think you got quite a bargain When you paid thirteen ninety-four. How do you get her home, Bill? Oh, they towed it to your door. The tires are thinner than paper. Do you carry a jack or a pump? When you get to that Ridge, Bill, You'll think that you're flying the Hump. Did you stop for anything special, Bill, A tire, or maybe a patch? Oh, there's nothing in particular, You just wanted to borrow a match. Well, I guess you'll have to crank, Bill 3 She turns a wee bit hard. Oh, you say that you don't mind that? But you should be on your guard. Your face is awful red, Bill, Your eyes are bulging too. If you keep on with that grinding, I don't know what you'll do. You say that I'm not to worry, There's no cause for alarm, You're all through trying to crank her. Oh, I see, you broke your arm! DIANE CURTIS THE GANG AT ROCKLAND HIGH Oh we've rowed our boat together, Each man at his oar, Through four long years of high school We'll remember ever more. We have fathomed every ripple of a Mathematic stream, We have rowed the reinforcement For Caesar's glory dream. We have finally reached the harbor, Life's great opened swinging door. Now who will be companion to us On this foreign shore? Oh, Gang at dear old Rockland High, What lies around the bend? Who will stop and clasp our hands, And hail us-friend? Who will give us all the comforts All the push and helping hand? And when we need a bit of help, Who will understand? Oh, once we stuck together As members of a crew Who rowed a boat evenly, loyally And true. But in every battle, in order to sur- V1Ve, Many will forget his mate Just to stay alive. It is then that I will worry And gaze up at the sky. And wish, and wish that I was back At dear old Rockland High. We've been friends here! Mates here! Immortal time will tell That when we rowed together We rowed our good ship well. LEO R. CONNELLAN THE CAULDRON 15 LAMENT OF THE HUNGRY OR O, MY ACHING STOMACH!! What manner of men are these crude beasts That torture and coax this hungry soul To deprive its mind of great knowl- edge Which supposedly is his true goal. Then, as this slaving creature's hope dies With a sigh of longing and despair There peals a most melodious tone When the passing bell pierces the air. This person joins the orderly march Shoved and pushed 'til he's clear of the room Each man for himself, drawn by food or Driven by what in the lab went boom! In his home-room he sits quietly Hooting and whistling to his friend, Joe To save him a chair at the table For his desk's in the very last row. The last in each row at attention, Tell of those who forgot to report When the signal is given, excused! They take-off like a P-40 escort. In the midst of this rolling stampede Is our hero stepped on and dragged 'Til reaching his place fthe end of linel He stands drooping, weary and, fagged. Then, spying Joe a wee bit ahead He creeps one half a mile to join him But still, ahead is another pal Who is almost in sight of the gym! But a firm strong hand on his collar, CA1as, with nary a warning sign,J Makes him do a complete about face Andlhe's marched to the end of the ine. Nearing the end of this tedious hike He hears the patter of many big feet And the line of teachers cut their way In, receiving their plates all well heaped. Finally arriving worn and weak He holds out his tray as they pile on Tomato juice, cracker, pickle, what more? You are just slightly late, so file on. So you see what he has to go through What this poor skinny mortal must bear! No wonder his goal is never attained And the teacher thinks he's half there. LORRAINE CURRY AND MARY SAWYER PASSING SORROW O'er the winding road I wandered Heedless of the storm and windg Knowing not of time and hunger But of aching heart within. O On and on I stumbled forward Seeking rest within my soul, For death fills Youth with blinding passion, Eased by time and God alone. Ere the storm reached its full fury And the evening time was spentg Back I turned and calm prevailed, Sorrow had at last relent. MARY SAWYER THE NEST Up in a tree I see a robin, Working steadily, bending low. Building with care of ages Shelter, for his young who grow. Toiling slowly every season, With a patience known to God, As the will to work and prosper, And be thankful to the Lord. LEO R. CONNELLAN 16 THE CAULDRON MY TREASURES The lighthouse on the cliff of rock, The angry surf below, The spruce trees and the sea gulls-- These things I love and know. The sails close-hauled, and helm set true, The wind, a whetted knife, The salty tang and balsamed air- They set my course of life. The bright buoys ring, flash, and roll, The waves, some blue some gray, The granite ledges, white and clean- All seem to turn my way. For I was born of sail and wave To the call of the open sea, Of spruce and pine and lighthouse tall- These treasures mine are free. LEATRICE C. NUTT THE JOYS OF LIFE There's many things we've given To make our lives sublime. I To put a twinkle in our eyes, And help us pass the time. And one of them's a merry stream A heading for the sea- Singing as it rolls along, Singing merrily. LEO R. CONNELLAN MY WORLD I look out on this world of mine And think how great a thing That God has put me on an earth Where hopes of peace still ring. The woods I roam in spring's hushed shade, Their great wonders shedding Light to mystic nature's kingdom, Revealing Beauty's wedding. The quiet stillness stirs me deeply, Whispers, softly lulling me. Visions show me dreamy pictures, As I pass each nodding tree. If, when I am sad and lonely, I can count on this my lea For thoughts that tell me all I lack, Content then comes with harmony. I sometimes wonder if others too, While wandering through the evergreen, Could feel the peace of that great vastness, And nature's sights unseen. At times, when things do not seem right, When you feel the urge to brood- Just wander through my paradise And let it change your mood. BARBARA LUFKIN ? SE 18 THE CAULDRON 1.

The day of April 13th! The time 4 p. m.! The scene Rockland railroad station! One hundred sixteen juniors and seniors of Rockland High were starting their Washington trip. All dolled up we boarded the train with happy faces, but as the night wore on, there began to appear among our vivacious crowd signs of weariness. As time progressed into the wee hours of the night, some of us went to sleep in spite of the rumble of the train, and the uncomfortable positions we tried to sleep in. Mr. Blaisdell was among the first to succumb. There is a new saying, While the chaperones snore away, the students do play. I did not realize that there existed such deep affection between the boys and girls. We arrived at Grand Central Station in New York and changed to another train bound for Baltimore. When we arrived, we had luncheon served to us at the Stafford Hotel. Then we boarded buses which were chartered for our sight seeing trip and went to the Annapolis Naval Academy. The boys were very impressed by the grounds, but the girls were impressed by the cadets. From there we went on to Washington, D. C. Arriving at the Hotel Annapolis, where we stayed while in Washington, a very tired group, we found the boys' rooms on one floor and the girls' rooms on the floor above. However, this did not stop communication between them. They sent notes to each other via lengths of string. The boys were a little noisy at first, but the arrival of the house detective quieted them down considerably. After Mr. Blaisdell came around and counted noses, we clambered into our little beds and slept 'til 'twas time to rise 'n shine. Monday morning after breakfast we boarded the buses to go to the Smithsonian Institute. When we arrived there we saw a large, old- fashioned, but beautiful, building. As we entered the portals we saw Lindbergh's plane The Spirit of St. Louis hanging over the doorway and wondered how such a little plane could have flown over the ocean. This was by far the most interesting place many of us saw. We could have spent all our Washington time there and not even started to see all the wonderful things. Our next stop was the Washington Monument which points like a huge finger 555 feet 55 inches long at the sky. We then went to the Archives building where many old documents are stored, and from there we went to the Mellon Art Gallery to view many rare and beautiful paintings. In the afternoon we went to the Arlington National Cemetery. Especially interesting was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The cherry trees were very beautiful in their pink array. After we left the cemetery we visited Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. We wandered around the grounds, saw the tomb where he and his wife lay buried, explored the place and then went back to the bus. In the evening we visited the Con- gressional Library where the Declaration of Independence and the Con- stitution are stored. We then went back to our hotel, tucked ourselves into our lily whites, and snoozed in the arms of Morpheus. On Tuesday morning we went to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. We were led around a catwalk where we could watch millions of dollars in the making. We asked if any samples were given away, and received a curt, No , from the guide. We left there and went to the Pan-American Union, where we settle our differences with our South American neighbors. In this beautiful building there was an imitation of a Spanish patio with tropical trees and tropical birds in it. We then headed for one of the ...af 42 THE CAULDRON most inspiring buildings in the United States-the Capitol building in all its grandeur and magnificence. Our guide took us through Statuary Hall where statues of famous men from each state can be seen. The building is a masterpiece of architecture. There are beautiful paintings on the walls and on the ceilings. We visited the chambers where our legislators enact our laws. After we had been guided around, some of us went up a narrow winding stairway to the Capitol dome. In front of the Capitol building our group picture was taken. In the afternoon we went to the Franciscan Monastery where we saw replicas of many things in the Holy Land, including a replica of the Christian Catacombs of Rome. Leaving there we went to the Episcopal Cathedral which is being built by public contributions. It is a magnificent and awe-inspiring building, built in Gothic style with high vaulted roofs. It is truly a fit building for the Rock That is Higher Than I . We then boarded buses for the Zoological Gardens where we saw everything from repulsive snakes and alligators to dignified bears and stuck-up camels. In the evening we visited Margaret Chase Smith and were graciously entertained by her. After leaving there we had the evening to ourselves. On Wednesday morning we packed our luggage, for we were leaving for New York at 9:20 A. M. Finally, on the train, we settled down for naps and dinnerg and then almost before we knew it, we were on a ferry going across the Hudson River. We crowded to the roof, and, dazzled by the splendor, we looked for the first time upon the beauty of the skyline of New York City which lay in front of us. To the right, like a gigantic person, stood the Statue of Liberty in all her splendor, and to the left, the immense structure of the Washington Bridge. We visited Radio City and were shown around the broadcasting studios, and were given a demonstration of how various sound effects are made. We then took the elevator to the 70th story to the observation roof where we could get a wonderful panoramic view of New York. Those elevators move at a very rapid rateg when we got to the top we had to wait around until our stomachs caught up with us, and vice versa on the way down. We had the evening free for independent activity. Thursday morning was also free for whatever we wished to do. If you want some fun eating, try the Automat if you are ever in New York. In the afternoon we went to the show at the Radio City Music Hall where we saw a beautiful pageant, the movie Green Years , and watched the Rockettes perform. At 7:30 P. M., now homeward bound, we assembled at our hotel and were transferred by taxi to Grand Central Station. By this time most of us were so tired that we could sleep anywhere, though some preferred talking over their individual experiences. At 11:05 Friday A. M., a sleepy, tired group of people hopped off the train at the Rockland station. It was a wonderful trip but it sure was good to be back. GEORGE CAssENs TH E CA U L D H O N 43 THE ILLUSTRIOUS I947 As freshmen, four years seemed a long, long way to go but now that we are on the last lap of our journey, it has passed all too quickly. Let us go back and review the years. The freshman year was primarily getting acquainted with our new teachers, classmates, and studies. The election of class ofiicers came early in the fall. Soon after this meeting, our doom was planned by the seniors. After the Freshman Reception and the effects C?l of it were over, we were well on our way to join the other classes to make a big happy family. The freshman class played their part in the annual Kippy Karnival by participating in the construction and decoration of some of the booths. Soon after Kippy Karnival, we found the weeks flew by with our summer vacation coming up fast and going faster. Trudging up the steps of Rockland High on a rainy morning in Septem- ber, we found we were sophomores and midst the excitement of meeting old friends and new, we suddenly began to realize that we were a year older and supposedly a year wiser. The socials were important events of the year plus all sports in which many of our classmates took part. Kippy Karnival soon came around tapping the sophomores on the shoulders, ask- ing them to help with the booths. Then the annual Sophomore Prize Speak- ing was on the minds of all of us with the following members of the class winning places in the finals: Jane Perry, Mary Sawyer, Lorraine Curry, Mary Carrillo, Carolyn Howard, Gertrude Robishaw, Robert Gat- combe, Leo Connellan, Harold Look, Donald Kelsey. Jane Perry won first prize for girls and Gertrude Robishaw, second. Harold Look was first for the boys and Robert Gatcombe, second. After the contest the weeks rolled by very quickly and in no time at all vacation was here again. Back to school in the fall we had now attained the place of upper class- men. A Junior Prom was planned just before Christmas. As this, the first formal Junior event to be held at Rockland High School, was very successful, the succeeding Class of '48 sponsored a Junior Prom this year. The next event was Kippy Karnival with all the excitement and splendor and hard work in which every member of the class shared. This year the junior play was all-important, for many of our class proved their histronic ability in Two Gentlemen and Verona . This year too, marked a never-to- be-forgotten eventg namely, the trip to Washington. Juniors and seniors enjoyed the journey to the nation's capitol with side trips to all points of historical and educational interest, to say nothing of the places of amuse- ments visited. We will long remember the good time and the congenial chaperonage of Mr. Blaisdell, Miss Nichols, and Mr. and Mrs. Allston Smith. Four of our class-Madeline Hoffses, Mary Sawyer, Jane Perry, and Lorraine Curry-were honored with election to the National Honor Society in our junior year. The National Thespian Society received many initiates from our group. Decoration for graduation concluded activities for the junior year. At last we were dignified seniors. The social activities commenced with the Freshman Reception where the poor little green freshmen were compelled to bow down to the mighty seniors. Mary Sawyer, Thomas Smith, Kathryn Stevens, and Harold Look were R. H. S. representatives in the Student Legislature held at the State House in Augusta. Leo Con- nellan was honored by having a poem accepted for use in the American Anthology. Rockland High had a good football season with Don McLellan as captain 5 basketball, an even better one under the leadership of Donald 44 ' THE CAUL111co.N McLellan and Donald Kelsey as co-captains. Losing but two games out of eighteen meant we were eligible to the Class A Tournament held in Port- land, March 6, 7, and 8. Here the boys won a place in the semi-finals. Other senior members of this record making team were Robert Teel, Robert Mclntosh, Oliver Holden, Harold Axtell and Meredith Shapiro. The seniors did their bit in making Kippy Karnival a bigger success than ever this year. The theme was Winter Wonderland . Barbara Lufkin was elected from the senior girls as Queen by a majority of votes from the entire school. A coronation ceremony was conducted at the ball and thus the Class of '47 established another precedent. National Honor students this year were Joan Winchenbaugh, Carolyn Howard, Mary Rose Carrillo, Beverly Mer- chant, Harold Look, Albert Rogers, Oliver Holden, Thomas Smith, and Seward Dinsmore. The Thespian Troupe also added new members to their organization from the class of '47. With the help of these Thespians and others from the senior class, we were able to present the three act play Ever Since Eve under the able direction of Mr. Allston Smith. Now as the time of graduation is drawing closer, we, the class of 1947, wish to give deep heartfelt thanks to our teachers and our principal who have, through four long years of high school, helped us in every way possible to meet one of the biggest adventures of our lives, that of getting started on our own in this wide world of ours. We will try to make good use of their instruction and do our share to make this a better World in which to live.

Next came Boothbay which hadn't lost a game in two years, but the Tigers continued on their winning spree by turning them back 3-2. The Tigers then coasted to a 20-2 victory over Waldoboro. In a non-league game Rockland lost its first game of the year against Morse 2-1. Rain and mud snapped their winning streak at four straight when the game was called at the end of four and one-half innings. Rockland lost its second straight game when Thomaston stopped the Tigers 10-3. Next came Camden but once again the Tigers found themselves and stopped them 16-6. In a return game at Boothbay the Tigers lost 6-5, but came back and walloped Waldoboro 17-8. In the next game the Tigers went into a tie in the Knox-Lincoln League by defeating Thomaston 10-3. Showing not one-half the ability displayed in Bath, Rockland again bowed to the Morse nine 10-3. In the last game of the season, with a smooth work- ing squad at batting, running and playing, Rockland High's Tigers ran over Lincoln by a score of 10-2.

The Tigers gained an easy lead, but Skowhegan fought back in the last half to pull up Within one point. The score, 13-12. Then Crosby came to Rockland, but the boys were too much for them that day. The score 26-0. 54 THE CAULDRON Rockland lost its first game of the season against Morse High of Bath. Morse tallied first, but Rockland fought back to within a point. Shortly after, the game ended with Morse winning, 7-6. Next came Gardiner at Gardiner. The Tigers lost their second straight game to an inferior and aggressive Gardiner squad. The final score was 14-0. All was not easy going for the Tigers as they lost their third straight game to Winslow by the score of 29-0. -Next came Brunswick at Brunswick. The team snapped out of their slump of the past few games to hold the powerful Brunswick eleven to seven points, while lacking that extra punch to score themselves. The final score was 7-0. The final game-to-be with Hallowell was cancelled on account of rain. The season closed with marked signs of the return of the brilliant team of the early season. Honorable mention should go to Leonard Galiano, who was picked as guard on the All Eastern Maine Eleven.

This year basketball got off to a fast start which continued during the season. The first game of the year was against Bath. The Tigers fought their hardest but lost 43-41. Gardiner came here for the second game and the Tigers started on an evening spree by beating them 45-28. Then the team traveled to Boothbay Harbor and edged them out by the score of 32-31. When Thomaston came here the Tigers continued to win by beating them 42-23. The team was looking good as they took Gardiner in their home court 44-34 and beat Waldoboro here 45-24. In a return game with Morse, the Tigers avenged their first defeat by turning them back 37-31. The second defeat of the season came at the 56 THE CAULDRON hands of Bangor. They outlasted the plucky Tigers in a hotly contested battle, 36-31. Then the team went to Camden and roared to a 63-24 win. Then came Belfast, and the Tigers after a first half slump came through to win 62-21. It looked as though' the Tigers were having it easy for awhile as they beat Lincoln 46-18, Camden 67-23, Boothbay Harbor 41-27, Winslow 58-34, Waldoboro 53-24, Belfast 70-17, Winslow 40-31, Thomaston 57-37, but Waterville stopped them cold by handing them their third defeat of the season 44-26. In the final league game of the year the Rockland seconds and Jayvees trimmed Lincoln Academy 55-22. Rockland was chosen to play in the Class A Western Maine Tournament which was held in Portland, March 6, 7, and 8. They were paired against South Portland in the opening round. Portland sportswriters picked South Portland to win easily, but with Co-Captains McLellan and Kelsey sparking a fourth quarter rally, the Tigers drew even with South Portland, 34-34, in the regulation 32 minutes and went on to defeat the Red Riots 40- 36 in an overtime thriller. Both teams played fine, clean basketball with the winners having enough stuff when the chips were down for the triumph. It was a team victory for Rockland and one they had waited for since play started in 1924. In the semi-final game, Rockland lost to Portland 41-34. Outscoring Portland in the first quarter and in the second half, the Tigers momentarily lost their eye for the basket in the second quarter and never regained the lead. The Portland sportswriters picked Donald Kelsey for the All Tourna- ment Team and gave Donald McLellan honorable mention. This is the first Rockland High basketball team to reach the semi-finals in the history of the Western Maine Tournament. Through graduation the squad loses seven players--Don McLellan, Don Kelsey, Bob Teel, Bill Holden, Bob Mclntosh, Meredith Shapiro and Perley Axtell. There still remains for next year a nucleus of good players, and, with much promising material coming up, Rockland should look forward to many successful seasons. 5 THE CA ULDICON 57 GIRLS' BASKETBALL LJ fl E is L Front, row, left to right: Evelyn Pendleton, .Ioan Prock.

The five losses were to teams who had not lost their old members through graduation as we did. Bill Sullivan coached the team again this year and Mrs. Mike lVIcConchie was his assistant. Barbara Jackson was the captain. One of the best games of the season was played at Camden. The girls, behind at first, caught up and from then a very close and exciting game followed, with Rockland coming through with a 29-28 victory. Barbara Jackson was the high scorer for the season getting 141 points. Joan Prock followed closely with 133 points. The guards also did an excellent job in helping gain the victories. Betsey Cooper was the only senior on the squad. The schedule was as follows: Rockland Opponents Rockland Opponcnts Rockland -36 Boothbay-52 Rocklandvfii' Camden-23 Rockland-14 'Fhoniaston-25 Rockland-41 Roothbayv34 Rock1and+35 Waldoboro-16 Rockland-31 Waldoboro-28 Rocklandgilfl Camden-28 Rockland-39 Crosby High-23 Rockland-42 Crosby High-12 Rockland-24 Lincoln Academy-37 Rocklandfill Lincoln Academy-32 Rockland-18 Thoniaston-42 367 352 '38 THE CAULDHON CHEERLEADERS Left. to right: Marilyn Dudley, Margaret Dennis.

The Junior Class play, Two Gentlemen and Verona , was p1'esented in recognition of National Drama Week, February 12 and 13, 1946. The delightful comedy, which marked the opening of the 18th Kippy Karnival, portrayed the life of the Red Barn Players . The Players , a group of amateur actors and actresses, dramatized plays in a make- shift theatre in the hope that one day they might become famous. The day came when a talent scout actually did visit the Red Barn Theatre and the Players were left guessing as to Whom the talent scout would pick to go to Hollywood. This splendid comedy concluded with one of the actresses signing a Hollywood contract and the rest of the Players receiving longed for publicity. 60 THE CA UL D IJ UN SENIOR CLASS PLAY H If A r crews-Ms'ii Seated, front row. left to right: Carolyn Howard, Lucy Rackliff, Mary Rose Carrillo, Lorraine Curry, .lane Perry, Cynthia Tibhetts.

The Senior Class play, Ever Since Eve , was presented December 5 and 6. It was a comedy depicting modern teen-age life by the well- known playwrights, Ryerson and Clements. The play was centered around a high school newspaper and the typical teen-agers who managed and published it. The smooth lives of many people were disrupted when the journalism teacher appointed a group of girls to the staff of the school paper. Many amusing incidents resulted from this which provided the audience with laughter and tears. Under the splendid direction of Mr. Allston Smith, this play was a big financial success. This money taken in from the Senior Class play goes to help pay for the coming graduation expenses and the gift left to the school. In the cast this year were three veterans: David Dorr, William McLellan, and Seward Dinsmore.
