SF M' 'X' This year, we have two new teach- ers to take charge of our school. Our principal, Mr. Langley of Cambridge, Mass., a graduate of Colby College, has conducted- our school most suc- cessfully during thepast school year. His active interest in all sports has encouraged our boys to develop both in physique and sportsmanship. Miss Robinson, our assistant for the past two years, failed to return this fall. We have missed her friendly nursing and child care, has been added, under the supervision of Pauline Grover, R. N. Although she is with us but once a week, we have profited by the lessons and demon- strations of this course. :Ks :Ks :Ks I - Miss Sellers, our music teacher, has visited us every two weeks this year. The lessons have been interesting and everybody feels that he has profited by them. :XC IX: Sk New Books The following books have been giv- en to the high school: Good'Reading for High School, 1, 2.

C., '34, Librarian. ill Pl? Pl? , Music in the Schools Ever since music was introduced as an additional course in the schools, people have fought against it. At every town meeting, when the ques- tion of raising money for the music teacher is brought up, people speak of the high taxes and the unnecessary expense for a music teacher. lVhy must they have music in the schools? they ask. We always did without it. But the same ones who get up and say this, install electric lights, radios, etc., in their homes. They never had these before, either, so why doesn't it work the Same with music? How many children would know anything about music, if it wasn't for what they are taught in school? About one child in fifteen would have the chance or money to study music. Now, with music taught as a course in school, nearly every child, from the fourth grade at least, can read sim-- ple music. In addition to learning to read music, their voices are cultivated. Children learn to sing two-part and, occasionally, four-part songs, as ear- ly as twelve years. Voices that did not seem to have a chance, were cul- tivated until they could carry a tune. I, for one, truly believe that music is as essential as history, arithmetic or spelling, and that the money spent School Life Reveals Character High school days are, perhaps, the happiest period of our lives, and to most people, the best remembered. It is during this stage of adolescence that our observing faculties are reaching maturity. We reach that point where we no longer take things for granted, but begin to have an in- sight into the liner points of life. Especially is this true as to the character of the individual, and more especially is it true of our school- mates. Day by day and week by week, we are studying and working together as a group. Young boys and girls are not noted for hiding emo- tions, consequently, traits of char- acter, good and bad, are often brought to the surface. The ig- norant, the intelligent, the good- natured, the hateful, and the half- way between, are all brought to light, by their daily words, actions and deeds. The character that a boy or girl shows in high school is almost always sure to stay with him or her all through life. Thus we, the students, are per- haps the best fitted of anyone to say what the character of our school- mates will be in future life. -L. B., 'sa if 'll' Ill' Socialism Socialism, or coercive cooperation has long been preached as a theory with at least a feasible background. In late years this theory has been put to work in numerous Ways. In Rus- sia it has been tried on a large scale through the five-year plan. The work in Russia has its good points, but on the Whole it is too much in its infancy and too much influenced by 'TI-IE coME'r 5 fanatics, who try to rule, suppress and excite ignorant people. The same idea, when applied in a modified way to small concerns, has been quite successful. As a rule, socialism is good in theory but pool' in practice. It tends to do away with the individual. The desire to get ahead is the backbone of a strong na- tion. -R. S., '35, Pl? if SF Why We Should Graduate From High School Can anyone say that there is no need of an education in this day and age? Civilization is so far advanced that it needs educated people to run the world's business. The person with a grammar school education is not fit, mentally, to undertake the great struggle of life, with its many pitfalls. With a good high school education, a person is entitled to bet- ter types of work and higher wages. The ill-educated man or woman works harder and receives less wages for his labor than does the high school graduatef If a high school graduate desires to further his education by going to col- lege, he may do so without trouble to his career. The person who has been out of grammar school for many years and then suddenly decides to obtain a higher education, must spend many precious years of his life to do it. Not only does high school give book learning, but it also teaches us to respect and obey. We learn to get along with our fellowmen and to bear with their faults. One of the greatest educations is a social education. Graduate from high school and en- joy life. The graduate has more leisure moments for recreation. His senses are so developed that he is en- abled more fully to enjoy the beau- ties of life and appreciate the won- derful works of God and achieve- ments of man. Let us try, then, to obtain an edu- cation, for however hard we have to work, in the end we will be repaid many times. e -L. A. B., '32.

This debate opened up to us a new field of activity, and we feel that we have gained something from our efforts at debating for the first time. Our af- firmative team remained in Sedg- wick to debate Bluehill's negative team, while the negative went to Brooklin to debate its aliirmative. The judges at Sedgwick were Mrs. Nellie Sargent, F. L. Cole and John Quigg. Each speaker spoke twelve minutes and was allowed a iive-min- utes rebuttal. Rev. E. H. Stover was the chairman.

He was a nice old man, and I liked him very much. He lived in a large, grey house on the shores of quiet, restful Duck Cove. His house, in many respects, was built like a ship. You see, Eliza had been the captain of the clipper-ship Fair NVoather, a11d this house was all he had to remind him of the good ole days, as he often told me. While I was at his place, my uncle would pass the long evenings by spin- ning yarns about his life at sea. There is one story he told me, that I shall never forget. It went something like this: I was taking a cargo down to South America, he began, filling and lighting his pipe, and, by thunder! when only two days from port, we run plump into one of them calms NVQ was in it five days before we drifted out. On about the third day, my mate and me decided we would take a bath in the warm water. Well, everything went well with us for about forty-five minutes, when one of the boys on board hollered: 'Look out for the shark! 'tMate and me made a lunge at the accommodation ladder. He was a little nearer than me, so he got up all right. But I was too slow. That old shark grabbed at my leg, and got that one there, and he pointed at the 1 wooden leg he got during the Civil war. Mate saw what a predicament I was in, so he grabs me by the arms. Well, sir, you know, that old leg of mine let go and that shark swal- lowed the blamed thing. The ship's carpenter madg one up, another one. Twan't like the first, but it had to answer the purpose. Three days later, we was in port. I looked across the water. You know what I saw? 'Twas the funniest sight! An old shark was making for us, and he acted like a hen with her head cut off. 'WVhen he came near the ship, one of the boys grabbed up a harpoon a11d harpooned him. We took the shark on deck, and began to dress him. You know what we found in- side that old devil? Well, sir, 'twas my old peg-leg. See them teeth marks there? he asked, pointing to a few scratches on his wooden leg. Themls caused by that shark. Now what do you think of that? he asked me, a twinkle in his eyes. -E. W. B., '32. LORD OF LONESOME VALLEY It was midwinter in Lonesome Valley. The snow was four feet deep on the level plain and twice as deep in the ravines. The great pines and spruce were clothed in glitter- ing ice and snow. The sun was hid- den behind lowering clouds that forc- told more snow or maybe suggested a tragedy that was to come. As far 'mm comm' 11 as the eye could see there was no sign of life. Altogether the Valley was a desolate and lonesome scene, as im- plied by its name. Although nothing stirred on the plain, if one looked closer, in the thioket at the side of the valley, a dark object was visible. It was Old One Eye, the lord of Lonesome Val- ley. The huge moose had lived here for two years, and during that time had fought many a battle in protect- ing his stronghold. It was in one of these battles he gained his name. Lately, there had come into the valley a new enemy, different from any before. A giant mountain lion had invaded the domain in search of food. On this particular morning One Eye was on the lookout for the lion. It had been his policy to drive every animal out of the valley, and up to now he had succeeded. Then it happened. The lion, which had been treading along on noiseless feet, stepped out directly in front of the moose. Old One Eye did not waste time on preliminaries. Witli head down and with a snort of rage, he charged. The lion took a chance on dying by starvation or being killed, and held his ground. Witli the moose only five feet from him, the lion gave a sudden leap and sailed up over the huge sweep of antlers, gave a sudden twist in the air and landed on Old One Eye's back. The moose shook him free, but the claws gouged terribly. Old One Eye saw red and his blood turned the fly- ing snow to crimson. He charged again, and the lion executed the same maneuver, only this time his claws did not slip. His fangs bit into One Eye's throat and closed together. But in reaching, he lost his hold and tumbled to the crimson snow. He was not quick enough to escape the last gasping plunge of the moose. One of the long prongs pierced his brain. The breath of the combatants was no longer visible in the cold air. N ow Lonesome Valley is more lone- some than ever, but when the snow goes, there will come a new monarch to terrorize the Valley. MISTAKEN IDENTITY One day as I was working on my car I found a bolt was missing. I wished to get a new one to take its place. As I did 11ot have time to change my clothes and go down to the hardware shop, I went in my overalls. The hardware building was three blocks from where I lived. I had reached the Five and Ten, which is about half-way there. As I stood on the corner waiting for the light to change, I saw a shabby and tattered old beggar approaching. He came up and said, VVon't you give a nickel to a poor ma11 who has lost his wife? A lady o11 the other side of the street was talking to her little girl. A moment later the girl approached and looked inquisitively at the beg- gar and me. Then she turned and shouted, To which tramp do you want me to give the dime, mother? -R. S., '35. DESERT JUSTICE A speeding automobile tore out of the city of Denver, Colorado, bound south. The two men in the front seat were grim and tight-lipped. Neither spoke until well outside the city limits. Then they seemed to relafi 12 THE COMET and the driver spoke to his compan- ion. See anybody coming, Al? he asked. Naw, guess we ran away from them, or else they haven't found them guys we croakedf' lVe better clear out of these parts, whatever they are doing, said the driver grimly, and proceeded to speed up the Buick still more. Back i11 Denver a bank had just been robbed and two employees had been murdered. After learning of the murder and robbery, the police had immediately given chase. But the ba11k bandits had so great a start that the police never obtained a glimpse of them. The description of the two men was flashed all over the state and surrounding country. The Buick automobile was found on the outskirts of the town of Birkley, fif- ty miles from Denver, but of the bandits, there was no trace. One day, a week after fthe bank robbery, a message was received from Yuma, Arizona, to the effect that two men answering to the description of the murderers had been seen in town. Before word had been given to have them arrested, they had dis- appeared. Where they had gone, no one knew. Some said that probably the killers had gone into the desert until the trouble blew over. Three months after their disap- pearance, when the police had given up the search, an old desert prospec-- tor came into Yuma with a strange story. In his travels through desert sands he had come upon the bodies of two men, half buried in the sand. About them were scattered bills and coins of all denominations. The vultures had partly defaced the bodies, but enough was left to posi- tively identify them as the bank bandits of Denver. The murderers had escaped the law, but it takes more than a murderer to escape desert justice. THE APPAn1'r1oN or nnvnrs LEDGE Along the coasts of England there are many legends which have been handed down from the ancient sea- faring folk to the present day sailors. One of these has to do with the three ghosts of Devil's Ledge. Ten years ago, I was told this old legend by an Irish sea captain. In 1835, -.so the story ran, the Gir- con, a sailing vessel bound .from Liverpool to Paris, had sunk on Devil's Ledge. There had been a terrible storm which had driven the vessel on the rocks, and she had gone down immediately. The entire crew and passengers had been lost. Among the passengers had been three eminent clergymen of the time. These three had come back from the unknown to warn and protect future mariners. Whenever a great storm came out of the Atlantic and a vessel was in peril at Devil's Ledge, the three wraiths of the departed minis- ters of God would appear to direct the ship away from danger. ,In later years a lighthouse had been built, and as the services of the ghostly trio had no longer been needed, they had gradually been for- gotten. Such was the story of Devil's Ledge. Of course, I did not accept the story as anything but a wild tale. Later, I was to acknowledge its truth by my own eyes. THE COMET 13 One year ago I had occasion to take passage on a steamer over the same route that the ill-fated Oircon had taken in 1835. The trip was purely a business one, and I had no thought of meeting wilh the supernatural. lVe had barely cleared port when storm warnings were reported. Fifty miles from port the storm hit us in all its fury. The worst gale in forty years, the captain said. We were driven into the coast in spite of all that could be done. Our wireless sent out distress calls but to no avail. lVhen we were only five miles from shore, the captain said that the Devil's Ledge light was out of order. This meant that we could only trust to luck to avoid the ledge. The mention of Devil's Ledge seemed to stir some recollection in my memory, but I could not remem- ber where I had heard it before. The period of ten years had partially erased the old Irishman's story from my brain or memory. . There was only one hope left, there was a narrow channbl through the ledge through which the ship might be driven to the shore. If she hit the ledge, there was no hope. We were only two miles from shore when the long departed came to our aid. The lookout, who was straining his eyes into jthe darkness, gave a most terrifying yell. Following his pointed finger, we saw three ghostly figures sharply outlined in the rain and fog. Recollections came flooding upon me. The three clergymen of Devil's Ledge. Here they were, in person! The specters beckoned us on, now to the right, 11ow to the left. The helmsman obeyed the commands au-- tomatically. We were so petrified with astonishment and fear that our surroundings went unnoticed. All at o11ce the bow of the ship struck the shore, and we were thrown down by the impact. lVe arose to find the ap- paritions gone a11d the steamer beached high and dry on the shore. Our lives had been saved by the clergymen of Devil's Ledge. Never again will I doubt the stories of old legends. AN ADVENTURE OF THE YEAR. 3132 Hey! J immie, called his em- ployer, Hcome over here a second. Jimmie walked across the large of- lice of his boss and confronted him. How would you like to take your vacation with me this year, J immie? Jimmie started at the unusual ques- tion, and then a huge grin appeared on his clean-cut face, for his employer was none other than Hugh Mawson, president of the Solar Navagation Lines. A vacation with him could only mean one thing-a trip to Mars or Venus. There is nothing I would like bet- er, sir, said Jimmie Blair, respect- fully. I have never been outside the Earth, but I have longed to ever si11ce I can remember. When do we start and where are we going? Well, I am going to Mars to look over our interests there at Keribut, said Mawson, And we will start next Monday, if everything is all right. You know, Blair, you are al- most as badly off as the man who had never seen a television broadcast in 2000. Interplanetary travel has been possible now for one hundred years, 14 B THE coivnazfr and you have never seen the wonders of space. I've never had the chance yet, sir, replied Blair, but 11ow that I have, I'll enjoy it all the more. Monday morning appeared and the two men rode down the moving ways to the gigantic space dock on Long Island, N. Y. They boarded the president's special space ship, the Vela. This ship was small compared with the huge liners, but at that she was large in comparison with the ships of a few years back, and she had a speed of twenty miles per second between atmospheres. The automatically sealed doors? closed a11d the interplanetary ship took off. Her propellers carried her out of the atmosphere of the Earth into the black void as hundred miles up. Here the propellers were hauled in and the liquid fuel exploded in the rocket tubes and set her going at a tremendous rate. Jimmie Blair sat in the observation room and got his first eyeful of the wonders of black, airless space. The sun, planets, and stars shone in all their undimmed glory in the black, frigid sky, and to Jimmie it was a weird, beautiful sight. After ten days from port, the plan- ets began to grow slightly larger and the Earth, which was something like a million and a half miles away, had become very small. It was at about this time that something Went wrong with the generators of the repellent rays used to ward off asteroids from striking the ship. VVe were in deadly danger and knew it. The mechanics worked feverishly, but to no avail. Everyone wore his space suit in case of a col- lision. On the fifteenth day it happened. Mawson and Jimmie were together in the observation room when they saw approaching, at a terrific speed, a huge grey mass. The Vela maneu- vered crazily to escape it but could not get out of its way. It smashed into the space flier and crumbled the pointed metal nose of the craft like paper. The whole ship burst apart, due to the compressed air rushing into space and the shock of collision, and the human cargo was spewed out into frigid space. They had only their vacuum suits and ten days' sup- ply of oxygen. Mawson 'and Blair had grabbed each other when the smash came, and now they were slowly drifting around the remains of the space flier with the rest of the crew, some of whom were dead, and small parts of the Vela. The S. O. S. sent out just before the crash reached the Andromeda, of the United Space Liners, just outside of Venus. She at once put on all speed and hurried to the rescue. In seven days the Andromeda came upon the wreckage in space and picked up the men. Those who were not dead were nearly frozen by the terrible cold, in spite of their suits. The Andromeda then set out for Mars. Two weeks later, with Mars nearly reached, Mawson and Jimmie were wholly recovered from the terri- ble experience. I What do you think of interplanet- ary travel now, Jimmie, my boy? asked Mawson with a twinkle in his eye. Gosh! That was the most exciting THE COMET 15 adventure I ever had, laughed Blair. I wouldn't have missed lt for-well, for even Mars or Pars either. That's' the spirit, my boy! It SUFC takes the young fellows to boost space travel. n When Mars was reached, the presi- dent of the Solar Navigation Innes gave Jimmie the position as assistant general manager of the lines. --L. B., '32. THE LEGEND OF LOVERWS LEAP Many years ago there lived an In- dian whose name was Wabun. He was young, beautiful, brave. He was regarded with awe and admiration by his young companions. It was he who received all the glory from battles, it was he who led his followers to victory, it was he who was the guest of honor at all the banquets. But with all this glory, Wabun was not happy. The woman he loved was kept away from him by her father, White Owl, an arch enemy of Wabun. It may seem odd that the sachem should be opposed to such a gallant warrior as Wabun, but on several oc- casions, victory was won only by the persistence of Wabun, when VVhite Owl had given up the battle. For this reason White Owl rejected praises given Wabun for his valor. Wabun wanted to marryTawasen- tha, but White Owl had other plans. She was to marry Nawanda, whom she despised. The lceremony was to take place on the full of the moon, and that only two weeks away. Something must be done immediately if the pledge of the two was to be kept, to marry or die in the attempt. The days before the full of the moon were busy ones. Piles of pine knots were to be gathered. Venison must be provided. WVarriors Krom neighboring tribes must be notified. White Owl kept constant guard over his daughter for fear she would run away. NVabun also watched. The night of the ceremony saw many strange faces about the sachem's lodge. Warriors had come from far and near to witness the mar- riage of the chief 's daughter. Both IVabun and Tawasentha were con- stantly Watching for any chance to escape, but the father was always alert and watchful over his daughter. Excitement arose as the celebration progressed. A look of dismay and discontent crept over the maiden's fair countenance as she saw N awanda approach her, in expectation of lead- ing her through rows of warriors, up to the sachem. But Wabun also saw him approaching, and, like a flash, sprang from the bushes, caught up the squaw and rushed back i11to the woods. Great excitement followed. War- riors were hurrying here and there in a crazy search for bows and ar- rows, etc. During this time, the elopers had time to gain quite a dis- tance on their pursuers, but their progress was slackened by the neces- sity of keeping to the woods and keeping constant watch for followers. In the mad rush for freedom, VVa-- bun had lost all sense of direction, and they wandered about all the dark night. At the approach of dawn, they found themselves trapped. They were at the summit of a high bluff. Its high, jagged, rock-covered side 16 THE coME'r cut off their advance, and the mad- dened warriors were behind them. Just as the first of the pursuers was emerging from the bushes, Wa- bun caught up his love, and retreating a few steps, made a run and leaped over the edge of the precipice. Down, down they went, clasped by a love stronger than the mightiest tiger, yea, even stronger than love of life itself. Now the Indian, even when aroused to his highest point of anger, has a keen sense of bravery, courage and true devotion. Thus, while watching the death descent of the lovers, a new legend was added to their already lo11g list--the legend of Loverls Leap. -E. B., '32, BLINDED IN NSO-MAN'S LAND At the call of stand to, which meant to change sentries, Harold Turner crept from his dug-out. His comrades were already at their posts. He joined them, shivering as the cold, damp air stung through his clothes. For awhile only the low whispers of the sentries broke the stillness of the night. But suddenly there came the zip-zip of German machine-gun bullets as they sped on their way a few inches over the heads of the sen- tries. Turner kept well below the para- pet. He did not want a stray bullet to place his name on the death roll as it had so many of his comrades. A half hour passed, and with it the rain, but not the machine guns of the enemy. They kept up a continuous fire, knowing that attempts would be made to repair the breach in the barb wire entanglements made during the day by the heavy artillery of the en- emy. The captain was more than anxious to repair the breach. A suspicious massing of the troops opposite the position occupied by Turner's divis-A ion and an unusually heavy bom- bardment led him to believe that an attack was in progress. Turner, cried the captain, si- le11ce that gun, we can never risk to fix that breach with that firing going on. At this Turner began to pour bullets at the enemy from his own machine gun, but succeeded only in striking sparks from his protection plates. The situation was becoming serious, so taking several bombs, he quickly went over the top of the trench, determined to silence that gun. Unable to walk upright, he crawled across No-Man's Land. He walked up close to the enemy's post and dropped a couple of bombs in their trench. The firing ceased. He turned to retrace his steps when, crash! a shell burst close by him. Stunned and blinded, he was hurled many yards by the force of the explosion. When he again regained his senses, he realized the danger of his position. Blind in No-man's Land! In which direction were his own trenches? VVas it day or night? If he moved, and it was daylight, he would be shot down at once. Suddenly something touched his body. It was Jack, a fox terrier, the company's mascot. Here was a chance to get back. Taking a rope from his pocket, he tied it around the dog's neck, he held the other end in his hands, and or- dered the dog to go back. The dog started at once for his company. It THE comm- 17 seemed that they had been traveling for hours, when Turner was startled by the familiar call, VVho goes there? VVith a cry of relief he dropped into the trench-saved from almost certain death, by a dog. -E. B., '32. SCHOOL JOKES Miss McKenney treading a theme i11 Englishj: How do you spell 'at- te11tio11 ' ?

Clifton Hooper won the half'-mile, took first place in the 100-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 220-yard dash, and was second in the low hurdles. Homer Bridges was first in the running broad jump, high jump and discus throw. He took second place in the 100-yard dash and was second in the shot-put. Donald Heath was second in the running broad jump, high jump, shot-put, pole vaulting and in throw- ing the discus. Lloyd Buckminster took third place in the high jump and shot-put. Calvin Hooper took second place in the mile, and we won the re-- lay, which gave us a total of sixty- three points. VVe have been practicing for the track meet which is to be held at Blue- hill in June. Our prospects for this meet are not so good as they were last year, because We lost by gradu- ation fifty-three of the sixty-three point-winners. W'e have in school 11ow only two point-winners of the last year's team-Lloyd Buckminster and Calvin Hooper. BASKETBALL lVe began the basketball season with only two letter men remaining from the previous year. Due to the green material, a slow start was made. The team was making rapid progress until the middle of January, when the grip destroyed it for the remainder of the season. We won BASKETBALL TEAM Q THE ooME'r 23 BASEBALL TEAM only one scheduled game, but most of our losses were by only a few points. The best game in Sedgwick this season was with Franklin high school, the Hancock County League cham- pions. At the half we were leading them 9-1, only to have them come back and beat us in the exciting fin- ish, 17-13. The Athletic Council has awarded the following letters in basketball: Elmer Black, Lloyd Buckminster, Calvin Hooper, Samuel Hooper, Lewis Cooper, Richard Simmons, David McCarthy, Loring Nevells and Roland Carter. With seven letter men returning next year, we will have the nucleus for a much strong- er team. '- Ml ll' 'll' B BASEBALL The candidates reported for base- ball April 11, and practice began imL mediately. The team is progressing rapidly, and our prospects are good if a pitcher and first-baseman can be developed. Games have been ar- ranged' with Bluehill, Castine, Brook- lin and Brooksville, by Manager Black. H I 107.83 24 FINANCIAL STATEMENT THE COMET Guarantee, Penobscot ......
