S TO THE CLASS OF 1949: Your motto, Not Finished, lust Begun, sug- gests that out of your years at Ashland High School you have framed a pattern of dreams and visions and ideals. Some of you will use your skill to make these dreams come true. Others ' may not even corne close to the goals toward which they aim. Yet, true to the spirit of mankind, however close to your ideals you approach, you will go on dreaming of things higher still. Do not become discouraged. These dreams are but goals of perfec- tion that run swiftly before us, but always evade us. Though we will never attain our aspirations, they gauge and measure the quality of the soul more than all its mistakes and failures. Through the years, build high hopes on a finn foundation: ignore no truth and fear no facts: keep affection in spite of misunderstanding: reverencethe good intentions of others rather than condemn their errors: get the most out of life by right living, and give the most you can back to the world: be faithful to responsibility, and place service above gain: let intelligence rather than fear guide your conduct. These are ideals which few have ever reached,-but, you will be better for having tried.

Darrell Colbath-Burnett Bragdon On December 16, the three act royalty play, Tattletale , was presented by the Seniors at the Ashland Opera House. For several weeks all our spare time has been devoted to preparation for this production. As the cast comprised the entire Senior Class we were all able to gain considerable knowledge and skill in Dramatics. 'l'he play was amusing. full of pep and fun to rehearse. The lively scene in which was portrayed the hanging of Ermintrude was especially difficult and mirth provoking. Over and over we shouted, DOWN WITH ERMINTRUDEJ' until our performance satisfied our coach. Underclassmen were diverted. the teachers were irantic. still the halls rang with our histrionic efforts. The play was very well received by a capacity audience and as the morning papers recorded no unfavorable criti- cisms we regarded ourselves as accomplished actors. We are all agreed that acting is really enjoyable and provides much valuable experience. l L 1 1949 fclwes of A. ll. 5' FRONT ROW-left to right: K. MacDonald. G. Wright. M. Sutherland. F. Ayer. B.

S ophie Clark Class Report The first meeting of the Iunior Class was held on the third day of September. 1948. We welcomed two new members from Milo-loan and Donald Pierce. Donald left school shortly after potato-picking recess. but it is rumored that he plans to return next fall. There was a big change in the class this year. The members all seemed very ambi- tious. To start the year's activities, the class held the first social. It proved to be one of the more successful of the year. To further increase our assets, the class voted to pay individual class dues. Our next financial undertaking was the purchase of different articles on which we sold raffle tickets. The boys secured a tur- key and the girls a bed spread. We did very well on these projects. During the skating season the class sold candy from a small booth beside the rink. This activity was a convenience to the skaters as well as a financial help to the class. The high-light of the year was the Iunior Prom. For this occasion we engaged one of the better orchestras of the county. The hall was decorated in the mood of St. Valen- tine. The event added up to a good crowd and a good time. In April, ten of the members of the Iunior Class will participate in the Prize Speaking Contest to be held at the Congregational Church. The winners will represent the school at the Aroostook Central League Contest at Mapleton. Echoes of A. Il. .S ' 1949 SOPHOMORE CLASS 1949 V Echoes of A. ll. S FRONT ROW--left to right: B. West. L.

H azel Garrity Class Report A world-shaking event happened in 1948 -the arrival of our class at Ashland High School with a representation of fifty-four. We welcomed some new members: Hazel Garrity and Barbara West of Portage. and, later in the year, Winnefred McHatten of Mars Hill. Probably due to the pranks and antics of some of our members the Iuniors early informed us that Sophomore means wise fool . If true. we were not long in proving that it meant wise folks , for we had four members on the A honor roll and twenty- two on the A-B at the end of the first rank- ing period. When we beheld the motley gathering in the Freshman Room. we could see that they were really green and needed in- struction in more than books. Feeling sorry for them we decided to first inspire their childish minds with proper respect for the Sophomores. After much planning the Freshman Reception was held on Novem- ber 5, 1948. It was a happy night for the Sophomores and a wholesome lesson'for the Freshmen. For a time our class sponsored dancing lessons, instructed by Mr. Dana Small of Presque Isle. High school students only were allowed to take these lessons. These dancing lessons were an innovation in the school and a welcome addition to our extra-curricular activities. We hope the school will see fit to continue this activity in future years. FRONT ROW-left to right: P. McNamara. H. Howe. H. Garrity, S. Kirk, L. Tibbetts. LB. Morrison. F. Sutherland, A. Currier.

B arbara Seawvay Class Report When school opened the thirtieth day of August, there was a large Freshman' Class with an enrollment of 57 pupils. This number contained students from Masardis, Portage, Ashland, Garfield, Winterville, Squa Pan, Connor Plantation. Sheridan. and Frenchville. The welding oi this motley group into a coherent class began in earnest on October 18 when we held OUI first class meeting to elect the officers to guide us through the year. The Freshman Reception was held at the Ashland Grange Hall on October 26. In accordance with stern Sophomore com- mands. each girl was dressed like a baby with white stockings, white shoes. baby dresses and bonnets. and wore nipples on 8 strings around their necks. They also carried dolls and other childish accessories. The boys wore women's night gowns. scarls on their heads, women's bedroom slippers and lipstick. After this ordeal we felt that we had earned the right to be full- tledgecl students of A. H. S. On Ianuary 7 and March 25 the Freshmen sponsored socials at the school house. Dancing and games were enjoyed and re- freshments were sold. Each of these socials resulted in a pleasant social evening of dancing and general fun. ' FRONT ROW-lett to right: I. King. L.

We hold our meetings in the Home Economics room every other Wednesday. In these meetings we dis- cussed various things that are brought before the council by the different repre- sentatives of each class. We do our best to make all possible improvements in keeping the class rooms looking neat and clean. The members of the Student Council act as clerks, in the candy store, which is a great convenience to the students and members of the faculty. It is the duty of the student council to O. K. all extra-curricular activities carried on for the benefit of the school. In years to come we are hoping to have a stronger Student Council which in many ways may help to better our school. 1999 Echoes of A. fl. .S FRONT ROW-loft to right: A. Pike. F. Clayton. E. Ellis, L.

Of the forty-two boys enrolled in agriculture this year, thirty-six joined the Future Farmers. As a club we endeavor to put into prac- tice what we have learned in Vocational Agriculture by means of summer projects. Also we try to be of service to other organ- izations in school and to the general public. Some of the more entertaining parts are the holding oi F. F.

WINTER SPORTS Ashland I-Iigh's Winter Sports team emerged from the year's season the Aroos- took County Champions. Unable to play basketball because of a lack of facilities, the Ashland team proved itself the leader in winter sports. For the most part Ashland competed against schools larger than their own, and in all but one meet, emerged the victor. Ashland's only loss was to the Cari- bou team by one-half point at the Annual Caribou Winter Camival. Looking back over the season we happily remember and re-live our wins and losses.

CROSS COUNTRY The second week of our school year found eight boys reporting to Coach Wayne Porter for cross-country. The first meet was with the U. of M. I. V.'s, at Orono. MacLean placed first among the contestants, but we lost 24-31. Our second meet was at Presque Isle where we met defeat for the second time. 23 to 32. Later on in the season the Presque Isle team came to Ashland for a return meet and won by a margin of 6 points with a score of 25 to 31. Later we were challenged by Lee Acade- my who came to Ashland and won by a close score of 26 to 29. After our second venture to the U. of M. for the State meet. in which we placed tenth, we went to Lee Academy to revenge our former loss. For the second time, the Lee team proved to be too much for our boys and defeated us 20 to 43. Although we lost this meet, MacLean set a new cross-country record on the Lee course by clipping 17 seconds off the pre- vious record. QThis event brought MacLean an invitation to compete in the Annual New England Cross-Country Meet held at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass. Although greatly handicapped by.drlzzling rain and a soupy track, MacLean did his best and placed 27th in a field of 200 runnersj VVhile the over-all record oi the cross- country team was one of defeats, we are proud of our beginning. The season did produce an outstanding star in Carlton MacLean. Because of his excellent indi- vidual record the Ashland Rotary Club sponsored his participation in the New England Cross-Country Meet at Franklin Park in Boston. 1949 ' P Echoes pof 14. fl. 5' r SPORTS Ashland 14-Washburn 10 This year Ashland High School initiated two new sports-cross-country and track. With the coming of the promised gym- nasium, basketball will be reinstituted to round out Ashland's athletic activities. 'I'hese five sports will give every interested boy a chance to participate in at least one activity. In building our athletic program, the girls have not been forgotten. Last year Mrs. Burton Coffin graciously donated her coach- ing abilities and girls' softball was initiated in the school. This sport will be perma- nently continued under the coaching of a faculty member. BASEBALL Ashland High School's baseball record in 1948 marked a vast improvement over the record of the previous year. The 1947 record, three wins and nine losses, was forgotten and the 1948 baseball team de- veloped into a winning team under the spirited coaching of Fred Parker. When the high school baseball schedule had been completed, Ashland had a record of six wins and five losses, and had captured third place in the Aroostook Central League. Although six wins and five losses does not represent an outstanding record, the team played games which were well worth watching. Games such as Ashland's win over Easton, the league champions, in which Leach allowed but one run is worth watching. Our 1948 schedule was as follows: Ashland ll-Fort Fairfield l. V. 14 Ashland 24-Bridgewater 12 Ashland 5-Easton 6 Ashland 5-Mapleton ll - Ashland 9-Fort Fairfield I. V.

Forest Ayer. Ralph Chase, Edward Martin. Philip Cunningham, Carlton MacLean. Ralph Baxter, Charles Coffin, Roger La- Belle, and Clifford Cunningham. GIRLS' SOFT BALL The organization of the girls' softball team ended the boys' monopoly in the athletic field. The organization period in an activity is always difficult. So it was with soft ball. The athletic fund of the school did not warrant the purchase of uniforms and equipment. Generous donations by in- terested citizens soon solved this problem. Our first game was at Presque Isle, Wednesday, May 26. Through inexperi- ence and nervousness we lost the game 23-10. Following this defeat we practiced intensely for the return game at Ashland. As a result on Thursday, Iune 6, we de- feated Presque Isle 31-18. In honor of this victory we held a food sale. With the profits we enjoyed a ban- quet at the Northeastland Hotel in Presque Isle. Late in the season our pictures appeared in the paper. As a result we were invited to play an exhibition gameywith the ALL- STARS of Sherman Mills on August 20 during their Farm and Home Week. Rein- forced by two of the town girls we won the game 8-2 and lost a return game at Ashland 7-5. Early in the fall we played a game under the lights in Caribou. We won 15-0. The retum game at Ashland was also a victory 14-9. During the season we played seven games resulting in five wins and two losses. We are looking forward to an even better season this year.

They will, in a few years. be the men and women who will carry on WHY WE NEED ,A PARENT-TEACHERS the work of the world. The kind of educa- ASSOCIATION IN ASHLAND, tion that they get will determine the kind Of all the institutions devoted to the wel- fare of children and youth there are two which stand high above all others. These are the home and the school. For parents as well as for teachers the needs and ambi- tions of the young people rank first among all interests. What would be more natural than that an organization of parents and teachers in our community should join forces to work together for their common good. This organization would be a Parent- Teachers Association. Alice McLellan Bimey founded the Na- tional Congress of Parents and Teachers, and to her memory there is erected a me- morial ,on the high school grounds at Mari- etta, Georgia, her girlhood home. This me- morial was erected in nineteen hundred and forty-two and serves as a perpetual tribute to the vision of a great parent-teacher leader. Alice Birney realized that chi1dren's needs will not wait and that many heads are better than one in determining those needs. She also knew, as do we, that the world needs to learn exactly what demo- cracy is, and the best way to learn this is to see it in action in our own small communi- ties. The objects of this association are to pro- mote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church and community: to raise the standards of home life: to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of our youth: to bring into closer relation the home and the school, that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently in the training of the child: to develop between educators and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantage in physical, mental. social and spiritual education. We need a Parent-Teachers Association of world we will live in. In this Atomic Age it is more important than ever before that people learn to -work and live together to understand each other's problems. What better way is there for such an understand- ing to begin than .in an organization that is linked with the National Congress of Par- ents and Teachers whose voice is heard in counties, states and in the nation. Charles Coffin NEW EQUIPMENT During the school year Ashland High School has acquired some new equipment. This includes a new screen to go with the movie machine, a recorder and an inter- communication system. This recorder is a very interesting and valuable addition to our equipment. The teachers use it in speech classes to record speeches and to correct speech defects. The eighth grade presented a recorded program for assembly. We think more classes should use the recorder. Recently an inter-communication system has been installed. There are loud speakers in Mrs. Tilley's room. the main room, eighth grade room, Freshman room. the Agricultural Building, Mrs. Bartlett's room and the basement. Any of the teachers who are in the rooms where these are, can talk with Mr. MacLaugh1in in the office. Mr. MacLaughlin can talk to the teachers in just one room or to all the rooms at once. lf he needs anyone in the office he can call them and not have to leave the office. This system is a great convenience in giving notices and in announcing other information. 1949 Etboes of A. lf. 6' L THQ SUMMER ,. When I get up in the morning.

Betty Howe DAYS I'D LIKE TO LIVE OVER It was the beginning of a perfect day- no clouds, a happy atmosphere, and plenty of sunshine. As I looked' out across our small and happy city I could see people hustling about and greeting each other with smiles. Smiles that seemed to say, l'm glad to be alive, aren't you? Yes, it was going to be a nice day and I kind of hated to get up out of my nice warm bed. Looking arounduntil my eyes came to rest on the foot of my bed I saw where my feet should have been. To my amazement, as you can imagine, they were missing, but they were soon found, snuggled closely against my wann and happy body. Again as I looked out of the window I could see places that I had often gone to as a boy. I could even see the corner lot. The corner lot: does that strike a familiar chord in your mind? It doesn't. Well, I should have known better than to ask you a question you know nothing about. As I was saying, the corner lot does strike a familiar chord to me because the corner lot brings back mem- ories of days that I'd like to live over. It was a bright sunny afternoon, the same . 5515515 . .4 11554. A as this afternoon will be, and we were all playing football on the corner lot. I was the quarterback that day and I called a play that went something like this: Myself: Let's try a quarterback sneak. I'll take the' ball' from lim, who'll play center. and he can go charging through the line and clear a path' for me. ' lim: What if I can't clear a path? Those boys are big and they play rough. you might get knocked for a loop. Myself: You worry about getting the path cleared and I'll worry about the rest. lim: Okay. you're the boss, count me m. y Myself: Good enough, let's go, gang. Signals-62. 85. 36. Hikelf' And there goes Iirn right ahead of me, how to mow 'em down, Jimmy boy. Oh, Oh! There's one he missed. He's coming right at me. I can't dodge him. We're going to hit. Oh, my side! What makes my side pain so? Where am I? I-I can't see. What's happening to me? There I can start to make things out now. They're sort of hazy but they're getting clearer all the time. Mom! Dad! What are you doing here? Why are you looking at me in that way? Where am I? 1 . lt was this question that started me look- ing at my environment. I wish now that I had never looked around me then, for what I saw-nearly made me cry. A small, desolate room with four bare walls, one of which had a large bay window overlooking the city. And those people, all dressed in white looking at you as if to say. It's all over now. son. death is coming. Death! That word struck me like a hammer striking a bell. It rang in my ears until I thought my head would split and I think that it would have if my father hadn't spoken up Echoes of A. li. .SZ 7949 and said, Feel alright now, son? Those words that poured out of my father's mouth were to me like the music that soothes the savage beast and I felt like jumping up and kissing him. I tried to but I couldn't and it was then that I noticed that part of my body was in a cast. The cast extended from my waist to my knees. It was three days later, when mom and dad came again to see me that I received my hardest news to digest. It was then I was told that I could never again walk. The doctor told me that later on I might be able to ride in a wheelchair. But I had lots of courage left and I made up my mind that I would walk again. Well today is my happy day. I've waited over five years for this day and at last it's here. Yes, here they come. There's dad and mom, my private nurse, and last of all the doctor who made this all possible. the doctor who mended my two broken thigh bones. The doctor who for the first ti.me in his life is going to see a man 23 years old, sentenced to life in a wheelchair happy to get in one. Yes, today I take my first ride in a wheelchair. Everyday that I get into my wheelchair from now on I'll always remember this day. and though I can never walk again I can always think of days l'd like to live over. Carlton Morin THE RIGHT WAY Follow in my footsteps As we slowly move along. Onward down the path, Follow gently as a fawn. Now the path leads to the water. As on a hot and balmy day. Follow quickly: do not falter As we go upon our way. Listen friend and I will tell you. My advice is good they say. Travel down that straight and narrow As you go upon your way. F. l. Morris MY ABNORMAL CONDITION Over and over I ask myself the same question. why does it have to happen to me. What have I done to deserve this? And though I feel quite abused and pity myself often, I see no way out. Secretly I blame my family for my con- dition though actually they have little or nothing to do with it, except that they keep me well aware of the fact that if something is not done and soon then they will have me on their hands for the rest of their lives. In other words, they believe that my con- dition is a hindrance to my ever getting married. I like to think they are exaggera- ting about me: I certainly hope they are anyhow. Not that I care about getting married, but I do know of many girls in my same condition who got married and have lived happily ever since. And I don't believe their husbands minded the way they were. But there really is no reason for my family to carry on so about me, especially to the point where I am nearly in hysterics. What to do about my condition? I haven't the least idea. Heaven only knows I have tried everything. I guess l'm just a victim of circumstances. I've even been to a doc- tor and he gave me a detailed plan of in- structions to follow but because of my lack of will power they were of little help to me. Of course, I should improve my will power but I've tried to so many times before and the only results were la series of broken resolutions. At times I console myself with the thought that God meant for me to be this way and He has a special reason for assign- ing me to such a condition. That's pleasant to think about, for a while anyhow, until the next time my family starts discussing me. and then I somehow cannot find the right words to explain to them that I have acquired my condition by a divine right. Perhaps my main trouble is that I am looking for a too easy way to cure myself. Because often-times I have been tempted by the alluring ads in newspapers and 1949 Echoes of A. II. .S'. magazines .which declare that they have just the thing for people i.n my condition. But my mother, who believes she is very wise and experienced, insists that such remedies as they advertise are more hann- ful than they are good and strictly forbids me to ever use them. Personally I believe my mother is inclined to be cruel and enjoys seeing me suffer the way I do. Of course I may be prejudiced CI won't say jealous or envious! because my mother does not suffer from the same condition I do. I expect that I am exaggerating some- what when I say my condition is abnormal. But can one truthfully say a girl is normal when she is overweight fifty pounds. No. I don't believe one can. Which reminds me: I'm hungry. Oh dear, my poor figure. Cherry Bolstridge r.As'r IOURNEY HOME I am on my way to a small town with a very good friend of mine. This is the last time we shall ever be together. I will be returning to my own town in about five days, but I have to say good-by to this very dear friend. We were once buddies, and I will always remember him, but now he doesn't remember a thing. We met when we were going to college about four years before the war. He always made the dean's list while I was out having plenty 'of fun on the baseball field. He. had to work hard to get the money to help pay for his education, but he always had time to help the other person. Some of the gang used to go up to his room and have him explain things that they could not understand. He would explain them very carefully and the gang knew he was almost always right. After we left college he secured a good paying job and was making good money. When December 7, 1941 came, however, he was about one of the first to receive the uniform of the U. S. Army. He was trained and soon rose to the rank of lieutenant with a choice of either staying here to help train others or going into active duty. Active duty was his choice. He was in the Pacific Area for about a year and a half and then he went to France. ,He had been in France for about six months, when he was first wounded. A piece of shrapnel hit him in the leg. It soon healed and he was back on duty. After getting out of the hospital he was assigned to the front lines. He was wounded again, this time a bullet through the right lung. We hurried him back to the hospital, but he didn't last long. He was buried with the service of only a short prayer. Now that the war is over, he is one of the great many boys who lost their lives for their country and failed to return home. The train is almost there now. I must get ready to meet his parents and loved ones. It will be hard for them at first, but they should feel very lucky to have this boy back with them. Many of the others will never return. Ellen Ellis WANDEREITS PRAYER When I am old and feeble And have no place to roam, I hope I may return And make this land my home. I shall look back and smile On all that I have done. I'll think of all the things I've seen And just how far I've come. I always planned to travel: To see the world around. To run the swiftest river: To climb the highest hill. As the years go slowly past: To the Lord, my life I'll give Ever onward, as I go: These plans, I pray, I shall fulfill. F. I.

She asked me to keep house for her, and sit with her children. She has three boys, Robert. Errol and David. When I arrived, they were all eating oranges and as soon as their parents left they started throwing seeds at each other. I tried to make them behave. but all I got was a squirt of orange juice in the eye. After about one-half hour they started getting ready for bed. Everything was all right until David suggested that they play hide-and-go-seek. I said, No, let's wait until you get undressed and have your clothes picked up, then you can play. Like all children. they didn't want to wait. Oh boy, what a game! l Before they had finished, one had a bloody nose. and the other a lump on his head. This was the end of the game. By then, it was time to go to bed anyway. Now, the trouble really did start. Errol wanted to sleep with David. I said,- All right. but no noise. Before I got down- stairs, Robert decided that he wanted to get into bed with the other two. I said. defi- nitely not. But he went in, just the same. Everything was quiet for about ten minutes. I had just settled down with a nice book and a piece of fudge, when Bang , one of them had fallen on the floor. The other two started giggling. I jumped up and dashed upstairs. When I reached the door, Wham, I got a shoe in the face. I dodged that one and tumed on the light. There on the floor was David sound asleep. In the bed the other two were just as quiet as little mice. I went over to the bed and got Robert up and made him go into his own bed, then I picked up David and put him back in bed. I no sooner reached the' foot of the stairs than David began screaming. Up the stairs I ran again. When I reached the bed- room. Errol said, l just rolled on David. To quiet them, I had to read a story. After I had finished the story, I put them all in separate beds. For the last time I went downstairs. At that moment, a car drove into the yard. How glad I was that the parents had arrived. What a relief!--An easy way to make money?-Not at all- my illusions in that respect, have entirely disappeared.
