The library well-stocked with hidden secrets, - The stage 'cross which has tripped well-earned success, We'll miss them all-the classrooms and the gym, too, Where sportsmanship counts more and victory less. The football field and diamond, champions' quarters, Beside the tree-brimmed, ever-running creek, The faculty, whose help and criticism Encouraged us to greater levels seek. They say, who do not know our alma mater, All have we lost that we once knew of these, But may one call it loss in gaining better, As we have gained, the joyous memories?

Shirley White was elected vice-president. Our saga- cious little heads mutely went into a huddle, and came out with Don Beal as guard of our few shekels. After all, he was the principal's son, and we trusted the principal. Beverly Springer received the ofiice of secretary. Q In our second year with our president having turned traitor and rejoined the host of Freshmen, we were swift to elevate Don Beal to that position and promote to the dignified job of treasurer our Robert Taylor, Verdi Leighton. In the cases of Shirley White and Beverly Springer, history repeated itself. Miss Brazzell was awarded the pleasure UD of advising us. Came our Junior year. With Don Beal retaining his position as head of the class, Bev Springer and Shirley White mutually swapped places, while Crawford Kinney rose to the occasion as treasurer. And then our last year! What a grand and glorious feeling externally, but internally, oh no! We finally decided to give the girls a break by electing Bea Gleason president. The vice-presidency went to Verdi Leighton, with Don Beal and Shirley White receiving the offices of treasurer and secretary, respec- tively. The executive committee consisted of Miriam Dennett, Katherine Higgins, Marion Smart, Maurice Geneva, Crawford Kinney, and Charles Roux. Throughout the year our football team seemed followed by Helen Hard- luck, winning but one game, tying one, and losing the rest mostly by narrow margins. Seniors who made a name on the gridiron included Captain Jimmie Smith, Wallingford, Roux, Thompson, Geneva, Kelley, Caufield, Curtin, Bell, Campbell, and Green. On the polished surface, a mediocre season was experienced, despite the fine playing of Captain Joe Hickey, Caufield, Geneva, Nelson, and Sylvester. For the girls' team, which received but 3 defeats while winning 6 games, including those with the alumnae, co-captains Gerry Richardson and Marion Smart, Blumenthal, Gleason, and Hansen kept the Red lassies in the running. Crawford Kinney, Sass, Wallingford, Moses, Palmer, Chatterton, Church, Harvey, and Hayes were but a few who performed outstandingly on the track surface. The super-stupendous highlight of the year was the Senior Class Play. Choosing Cyrano de Bergerac, we proceeded to make the cast as well-chosen as the play by placing Paul Hartman in the title role. And the trip to Washington! Who could ever forget that! I I The whole four years have been a grand adventure. May the future be as happy.

It has made a place for itself in history that will long be remembered. f I Miss Marion Jordan, prime ministress, supervised the coronation of the King and Queen, and the election of their cabinet. William Johnson, versatile' football star, has been for the last three years and Princess Barbara Clark, a. cabinet member for several terms and a favorite on the stage, has served as the king's seqond. Richard McGlauflin, another football notable, is chancellor of the exchequer, and Bette Meade, a cabinet member last year and active in court, is the secretary of state. i - King William's Councilors were Marcia Hinckley, Marion Woodbury, Eleanor Kershaw, Raymond Adams, and James Dolan. A Court Ball in the Palace at Yuletide was the first big social event of, William's reign. p Our Knights of the forum, under the direction of Mr. Hutchinson, boastedi of agreat number of Juniors. In the tournament field many Junior Knights stood in the limelight. In football we had.fKing William Johnson, next year's captain-elect, Dolan, Bonney, Small, Richard McGlauflin, Merritt, Adams, Young, Cossar, and Hall. The basketball team was well represented by Junior Knights: Small, Dyer, Russell, Greaves, Richard McGlauflin, Bonney, Devine, and Hale. The Class was ably represented on the track squad by Knights Brewster, Crockett, Graham, Hawkins, Jeffery, Jones, Kelley, Keniston, McCusker, McKinney, Olsen, Schendel, and Shibles. Although only two Junior princesses played on the royal basketball team, their work was considered of excellent quality. The Junior Kingdom was well represented in the royal school play, Grumpy. Princess Jane Latham gave a brilliant performance as the ward of' Grumpy. Other prominent parts were played by Prince George Moreshead and Princess Eleanor Burbank. p George Moreshead, Eileen Cullinan, Thomas Lee, Bette Meade, and' Warren Morgan were on the Echo Board. Eileen Cullinan, Donald Innes, Thomas Lee, Warren Morgan, Bette Meade, and Nathalia Jones were on the HEADLIGHT Board. The Junior Prom was the spectacular social event of the coronation year. Owing to the recent coronation of King George, the councilors of the Junior Kingdom chose this as their theme. King William Johnson was elected royal toastmaster by unanimous vote of his subjects and the toasts were given by the following subjects: Marcia Hinckley, Barbara Clark, Bette Meade, Richard Bonney, James Lunt, and Edward Greaves. The king, together with his coun- cilors, worked to make this affair a success. -iii PAGE 54 i nt'ms -1:1 -nr in HEADLIGHT Af PAGE 55 JUNIOR PROM SPEAKERS 1032 ENS JUNIOR RING COMMITTEE ff' ,Mhz 14,,,,,w,A,M.

Our election of officers took place well past the middle of the year. Hallam Singer and his sister, Lennie, retained the same positions which they had occupied as Freshmen-president and vice-president, respectively. Henrietta Robinson, last year's secretary, was also re-elected, and Patricia Springer was chosen treasurer. ' Extra-curricularly we kept up our ine reputation as a class. Edward Legere and Hallam Singer, invaluable on the varsity squad, won their football letters and should prove stellar heroes on the 1937 team. Hoopsters Paul Christenson and Hallam Singer admirably held aloft the class banner with other promising material also appearing. On Coach Nesbett's sextet, Eunice Palmer, showing remarkable ability, was the only Sophomore hoop lassie to win her letter. Henrietta Robinson, Anne Norton, and Marion Heath also deserve laurel for their fair brows. The class emerged triumphant in the inter-class song and yell contest. Our cheer, With a Vivo and a Vivo, will be called, in our honor, the l937 cheer. Q Red Meserve, carrot-topped Sophomore wit, was chosen secretary of the Science Club. Donald Mileson ably represented the class in the debating field. Faith Foster, William Blackwood, and Janet Winslow were members of the Echo Board. Janet Winslow served on the board of the newly-formed magazine, Read Riot, and also on the HEADLIGHT Board. Frances Pease, in her excellent portrayal of vivacious Mrs. McLaren, con- tributed largely to the success of the school play, Grumpy In the Armistice Assembly, Le Chat Noir, several Sophomores emerged as full-fledged entertainers. Janet Winslow in the part of a French cafe girl and Maureen Maloney as a chorus girl had important roles. Virginia Urbano, Kath- erine Cook, Paul Cash, and John Vanier also took part. ' Virginia Wadlin served as secretary of the Art Club. The Glee and Student Clubs abounded in Sophomoric CU talent. The boys of the Rifle and Hi-Y Clubs, not to be outdone, were shining examples of masculine vigor and good sportsmanship. Not content with glory reaped thru the harvest of the extra-curriculum, the class also maintained an enviable academic record-we have continually led all classes in the percentage of honor students.

And we the first to View ahead four years uncrowded, owing to our annex, whose lofty walls o'erlook our unparred sports' realms. A school complete and perfect! PAGE 65 ----i HEADLIGHT FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS PAGE 66 HEADLlGH:l'g FRESHMAN CLASS l-IISTCDRY HE Freshman jinx, awed by the onslaught of the Class of 1940, changed its disguise from afternoon session to a belated opening. Nothing daunted, the class, 329 strong, set forth to do mighty works. As every good army must have a leader, they united their forces and early in the year elected their class oflicers for the struggle. President, Ruth Cross, vice- president, Charles Hannaford, secretary, Belle MacDonald, and treasurer, Robert Cushman, stood up well underfire. A number of the group found time enough to spend some of it under Mr. Cogan in football, notably Foster, Higgins, Libby, De Mauro, Ramsey, Nichol- son, Hannaford, Cary, and Cushman. Winter brought new laurels, as McGeehan, McGlauflin, Johnson, Libby, Ramsey, Norton, Williams, Kershaw, and Hannaford, under Mr. Berg, made pgogress in basketball. At the same time some of our classmates began to train with the track team. This reign of terror, otherwise called mid-years, passed on from whence it came, leaving some sorrowing, others staggering, while the balance managed to resist. Mention must be made here of the undefeated girls' basketball team and of those who worked to make it so, among whom were Captain Ruth Cross, J. Farrington, M. Libby, M. Johnson, M. Soule, L. Woodbury, and H. Heggeman. At the interclass cheering contest we yelled ourselves hoarse, unavailingly. Time passed on, and many, although busy with studies, took time out for such extralcurricular activities as Science Club, Student Club, Rifle Club, Debat- ing Club, Band, Glee Club, and Orchestra. A And then our Easter vacation, something new for South Portland High, resulting from our late school opening. Happily we wished our Senior friends off to Washington, eagerly wishing it were our year to go. Our hopes and fears for later years, however, were soon put aside to make way for realities near at hand, as baseball and track practice began with our boys right in the center of the excitement. Meanwhile journalism we still kept to the fare, the Echo, Read Riot, and this publication finding our contributions indispensable. Our budding artists, aided by the new art course, exhibited their talent in these editions also. The grand finale must be made, and what's more appropriate than the grandest thing of all, the new annex?

In that game the Capers handed its worst defeat of the year to Biddeford to the tune of 19-7. For three periods our green team pushed the Hebron Reserves all over the field. In the last period, a brilliant run netted Hebron seven points, the only score of the game. The team was drilled hard and led Winslow 7-6 at the half. The last period jinx worked again. Winslow sent in a flock of fresh subs and went ahead to win 13-6. ' In the third quarter of the Thornton game, the maroon and gold scored six points. Later, Maurice Geneva, stellar Caper center, 'ran an intercepted pass to a touchdown and point which put us ahead, 7-6. In the fourth period, how- cver, a Thornton back pulled down a pass and ran ninety yards for the winning seven points. The Capers played Westbrook the next Friday. Injuries in the second half put three of our stars on the bench, and Westbrook won, l8-O. In the last period of the Deering game, Deering scored six points, but the Capers came back with seven. However, Deering had the power to score another touchdown to win. After their victory over Biddeford the team went to Edward Little. Although star halfback Billy Johnson couldn't play, the Capers fought the Eddies to a 6-6 standstill. Injuries hit us again in the last game of the season with Portland. Captain Jimmy Smith played less than one quarter. Portland scored twice in the second period to win. Smith, Johnson, and Thompson won All-Conference honors. We wish Captain Billy Johnson the best of luck next year.

In the Four-Cornered Meet the Capers came in third place. Three of the Capers' losses were at the hands of the college freshman teams,lBowdoin, Bates, and Maine, while the other one was at the hands of Portland. They had little trouble in putting Thornton down but fought hard in order to sink Portland and the Colby frosh. In the Bowdoin Interscholastics the Capers didn't fare so Well. Roger Wallingford and Arpad Sass consistently shone in their respective positions, Wallingford showing Well in the 600 and high jump, While Sass was standing in both high and low hurdles. Don Beal was great in the 1,000-yard run, While Jones, Kinney, Hayes, Morton, and Chatterton were strong in the dashes. . Hooper, shot putter, was responsible for gathering many points for the squad. Others who sparkled on the squad are Norman Harvey, Charles Keniston, Charles Schendel, Carroll Crowley, Bud Magrath, Phil Moses, Doug Ramsey, William DeCosta, Charles Hannaford, and Clement Langlois. All in all the Caper track squad Went through a pretty fair season. Lots of luck for next year. . E PAGE 75 -l-i HEADLIGHT BCDYS' BASKETBALL N inexperienced Caper quintet arose from its slump of the previous year to reach the semi-finals of the Western Maine Tourney. In the preliminary games of the tournament the Capers defeated Lewiston, 29-12, but in the semi-finals they were subdued by the Fitzpatrick men, 35-5. The Red ,Rioters started the season by giving a strong Rumford combine a 29-19 setback. The following week they pinned a 36-32 defeat on the alumni. The next game, which was fought with Edward Little, turned out' as the first two did, the score being 34-21. The Bergmen lost their next two encounters, the first to Portland, the Southwestern Maine Conference Champions, by a wide margin of 37-12, and the second to Deering, the Western Maine Tournament Champions, 30-18. Playing twice in the same Week, the Capers lost both games, the first to Deering, 31-30, in one of the most thrilling overtime games of the season, and the second to Portland by a decisive 41-12 score, An encouraged Westbrook quintet turned the tables on the Capers by giving them a 28-25 setback. Thornton again suffered an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Capers, 39-16. In the following game the State Champions from Winslow bestowed a 31-18 defeat upon the Bergmen. In the next game the Eddies won, 30-26. 1 Joe Hickey, captain of the basketball team, proved to be a most tireless and capable leader. Credit must also be given to the other members of the team for their excellent work. ----- PACEE 76 - -M ,YYY YYY, Y 7 V is ' - ' '-QIEHADLIGHT: , 1 BASEBALL C ERE faced with a tough assignment writing about this year's baseball squad. You see, we are really' telling about a whole season that has hardly begun. However, we'1l do our best as we know the Caper nines in the past years have always turned in a good season. Sizing up the squad we find some have had quite a lot of experience. Coach Macomber looks very pleased with his prospects, and his smile became wider at the Cheverus game as he saw his youthful crewqbelt out ten runs to CheVerus's four. His line-up for this game was: Pitcher, Bill Nelsong catcher, Bill Johnson: shortstop, Joe McCarthy: lirst base, Herb Dyer: second base, Jimmy Dolang third base, Dick Bonney: right field, Parker Small: center field, Tommy Cau- field, left iield, Charlie Roux. p A strong blue team put a damper on our high hopes in the second game as they belted out twelve runs to our live. This game being so early in the season, however, does not cause much worry. In a practice tilt with the Bowdoin Javees our team made a line showing. Clem Langlois pitched a bang-up game, showing Bill he had another able pitcher, besides Singer and Nelson. A Other games that are due this season are with Deering, Sanford, West- brook, and Thornton, June 5 is the date the season will close.

A dance was held each month in the gym. In October the State Conference was held in Bangor which many of the girls attended. Miss Gladys Hall delighted the group very readily with her talk on charm., During November the club continued their activities with the new dancing class as an outstanding happening. At Christmas time the girls had a supper and Christmas Tree. The group had a baby party which certainly was enjoyed by all. Penny Circus was held in the gymnasium with a large attendance. Virginia Urbano was general chairman. A The year was climaxed by a frolicsome week-end spent at Kamp Konaway. The credit for this delightful year goes to Katherine Greeley, program chairman, Agnes Walsh, president, and most dear to our hearts, the supper chairman, Betty Roach. Eileen Cullinan, vice-president, Arline Wood, secretary, Mary Costello, treasurer, Virginia Urbano, publicity chairman, and Katherine Higgins, service chairman, also deserve much praise. The Freshmen were welcomed to the group. Graduating members extend best wishes and good luck to those who will lead the group in the future.

Cushman's Bakery provided a very enjoyable trip. Each member was presented with a box of cookies and a huge cup cake bearing S. P. H. S. It is quite unusual to have one of our own boys speak at a Science Club meetingg Richard Day gave an exceptionally interesting talk on the weather. His forecasts are amazingly accurate. Early in the season the club joined the National Drganization of Science Clubs. Attractive membership cards were obtained for each of the forty official members. The national organization gave our club an engraved certificate stat- ing that we are an official member of their organization. A new weekly maga- zine, The Science Leaflet, was subscribed for. This magazine is used as a medium for the exchange of news, ideas, and articles of general interest. The inspection of the Oakhurst Dairy proved to be a very enjoyable trip. A guide showed the full process of pasteurization. In the laboratory, the members viewed many types of bacteria. They were served chocolate milk and cookies. Other trips were to the Weather Bureau, Maine Casket Company, Foss Vanilla Company, S. D. Warren Company, Dana Warp Mills, Soule's Paint Company, The Universal Laundry, the Natural History Rooms, and to the Deering Ice Cream Company. PAGE 87 ----- g HEADLIGHT y DEBATING ONSIDERING that South Portland entered our regular league contests crippled by the loss of Lucille Knudson, star of last year, due to sickness, and went to the New Englands without Mary Costello, varsity regular, our record is indeed a line one. ln the fall we defeated Portland, Leavitt, and Millinocket. In the Deering Tourney we tied for fourth place with Portland and Biddeford. In the Bates League two 2-l decisions rolled in against us, leaving us only the consolation of recording Paul Hartman as best speaker in his debate and Richard Harmon tied for best in his. And finally, April 23 and 24 at Laconia, N. H., our school for the lirst time entered the Tourney to determine the championship of New England. We left South Portland with heavy hearts, due to the fact that twenty-four hours before the debate Mary Costello contracted laryngitis. Against the best New England offers, South Portland came through the first two rounds, tied for second place-only a step behind Fall River, the eventual champion. The next morning we bowed gracefully to Fall River by a 2-1 decision. When finalists in the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest were posted, the rating showed Richard Harmon second and Herbert Shaw third. i -ll PAGE as ----1-'-'-'HEADLIGHT FRENCH CLUB HAT is that noise of revelry and riot? Freshmen not yet realizing that this is a high school? No, not Freshmen, for there is Richard Hersey all dressed up in a monkey suit. And who is this? It sounds like Verdi Leighton hiding in that Santa Claus outfit. No, they are not Freshmen: they are the members of the Senior French Club giving a Christmas party. Let's go in and see what it is all about. The supposedly quite dignified president of the French Club, Richard Hersey, is the man who gives whips to bad boys and girls like Mary Costello, Maurice Geneva, Charles Roux, and Verdi Leighton. Verdi Leighton, the vice- president, is the genial Bonhomme Noel and he gives nice presents to the good CU little girls and boys like Agnes Walsh and Evelyn Whipple, and Shirley White might even get one. But, oh, what a thrill, when Pere Fouettard, the whipman himself, receives an Hawaiian dancer that really did a dance for us. A few weeks later this group offered some very interesting reels, showing pictures of France. Mrs. George Hutchinson aided the group by accompanying the film with musical selections. Madame Naples, of Portland, a native of France, talked to the group on Paris. She spoke especially of the parks and of French Izaak Waltons who never caught a fish, but fished for the sake of fishing. Maurice Geneva, the treasurer of the group, surprised all by asking where the Follies Bergeresn occur. Ever popular Beano was on the docket at another meeting. Verdi Leighton practiced his occult powers to the extent of sixty-six and two-thirds per cent win. In Agnes Walsh's records we also ind previews of other meetings to come and plans for a big splurge at the end of the year.

We not only have a band, we have a good band, as evidenced by its showings in the past Southwestern Maine Music Festivals. The band is busily working all during the school year. From the first football game until graduation the band boys are hard at work. ' Nearly every activity in the school has called upon the band for music at some time. The rather remarkable truth is that these musicians seem to be looking for chances to entertain. Mr. Rowe has very seldom, if ever, been forced to decline an invitation to play out. For some years both band members and student body have regretted the lack of uniforms for the band. This year another group became interested. Phe South Portland Lions' Club, by various activities, is acquiring a fund to be used toward giving the band the recognition they richly deserve. Mr. Rowe's plans for next year include a division of his musicians into two groups: a concert band for the advanced students, and a second band for the younger and less able musicians. Applicants will be examined as to their musical knowledge and ability, PAGE 91 ----- HEADLIGHT GIRLS GLEE CLUB HI-Y-CLUB PAGE 92 HEAIS-LIZEHT AY' 5 E ..

Let's take a few of the subjects and enumerate themany bits of knowledge we should have gained. Latin: .Here's a subject where all the secrets of Virgil can be learned. One solid forty minutes are spent every day trying to get fEneas to Italy. What slow boats they had in those days! Chemistry: What happy moments have been spent here, midst the break- ing of glass. In the lab, a new rising substance was found, and our scientists thought they would amaze the world with a new discovery until kindly Mr. Graves asserted they had been using yeast. Art: Genius is the word for this subject. George Knight and Don lnness paint etchings of their own and they are the sole judges of the beauty in them. Many faces besmeared with paint have come from these portals. French: Voici l'etude de mon coeur. Frances Borden is the star here. When asked a question, we hear a distant rumbling Cnot unlike a man rudely awakenedj and a scraping of feet as they are pulled from under the next desk, a few hems and haws and then a quiet, I don't know. English: Comus, the little devil, is found stalking in Room 217. We all had a tough time understanding him, too, Hamlet also killed himself four times, here, thanks to a few actors in our class. I Geometry: In the interior of Room I I8, Mr. Mahoney makes the queer- est figures equal each other. I-Ie also proves they are tangent, but it isn't fair for him to speak French to us who aren't taking foreign languages. All in all we've had an enjoyable four years midst these subjects abounding in education.

You've got something there-Work on it. Charles Roux, honor student. When you are told that 'Great oaks from little acorns grow,' don't think you are being called a nut. Verdi Leighton, vice-president. Learn to educate the mind so as to give the best there is in you. . Agnes Walsh, honor student. When I am confronted with a huge task such as writing a theme, I sit down to meditate upon the best Way to attack it. Then after several hours of quiet concentration-I go to a movie. Richard Hersey, HEADLIGHT editor. Education is whatever you Wish to make it. Some will be satisfied with a shack, While others will aspire to a cathedral. Crawford Kinney, track captain. In every Way and every day, be as nice as you can to everyone. Shirley White, honor student. Procrastination is a poor punctuation mark to use. It puts a definite stop to proiitable leisure and once used, it becomes a harmful habit, damaging and unbreakable. Donald Beal, treasurer. Always hit them harder than they hit you. James Smith, football captain. Everything that looks hard looks easier if you keep looking. Evelyn Whipple, salutatorian. Success is counted not by the goals one gains but by the friends he makes gaining themf, . Joseph Hickey, basketball captain. 64 Think hard. You're liable to get an idea. Marion Smart, girls' basketball co-captain. Don't judge a person until you have personal contact with him. Maurice Geneva, honor student. K6 Don't Worry. Keep smiling, and success Will be yours.
