EDITORIALS Thanks to the people of our school district and our school officials we now have a modern Community High School Building. It is only due to their con- stant cooperation and effort that we now have such a fine- school. What is required for an acceptable secondary school? Perhaps it would be well to consider some requirements thought necessary by the Department of Education in Augusta, Maine. They are as follows: 1. The school must offer at least three COUFSGS. 2. The principal must hold a princi- pal's c-ertificate and devote at least fifty per cent of his time to super- vision. 3. Every teacher is certified and each teaches in a curriculum for which he is adequately prepared. 4. Every student has a complete physi- cal examination and there is a planned physical education pro- gram in which every student par- ticipates. 5. A counselor has two or more planned interviews with each stu- dent every year. 6. Instruction in music is offered for not less than eighty minutes per week. 7. Instruction in art or crafts is offered for not less than eighty minutes per wc-ek. 8. The student activity program is well balanced with activity in at least three areas, such as music, dramatics, athletics and student government. 9. An appropriate audio-visual pro- gram shall be in force. Audio-visual aids consist of maps, recordings, movies, pictures and other illustra- tive material. 10. The school has suitable laboratories, libraries, classrooms, and other facilities and equipment. These requirements were mentioned by Mr. Ladd in his dedicatory speech as a goal for us to attain in the years to come. The most essential of these we can now have. Our building is adequate for all the activities that are necessary for a well rounded education. Sports, dra- matics and recreation all play an im- portant part in the education of each student. Our principal and teachers are all certified and well prepared for their work. Our goal now should be to have an adequate guidance counselor to help each student prepare himself for a work in which he shows aptitude. Music, too, plays an important part in our lives and should be considered a part of our school curriculum. Appre- ciation of good music leads one on to desire the better things of life. Art or crafts, while perhaps not so important as the foregoing items, still play an important role both in school and in the years to come. Educators agree that the brain re- tains less of what is studied from books than what is actually seen, as by screen or by other audio-visual aids. In the army soldiers in training were not issued a book of rules and instructions but were provided with movies describ- ing their work for the day. Thus, it can readily be seen that audio-visual aids should play a large part in the educa- tion of every student. While it is not practical to hitch our wagon to a star our goal should in- clude these ten points and any new ideas which prove of value so that our school will always be progressive. COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL In 1947 the State of Maine Legisla- ture passed an act which allows two or more towns to join for the purpose of providing better educational facilities for pupils in grades seven to twelve. The original law was amended in 1949 by the 94th Legislature. Towns may accept the provisions of this bill during a regular or special town meeting. The law provides that a Board of Trustees consisting of three members from each participating town be elected. Their duties are to act as a building commit- tee as well as to handle the affairs of the district except for the election of teachers, determination of the courses of studies and other matters pertaining to the education of pupils. The Board of Trustees remains active as long as the Community School .is in operation. The above duties not handled by the Board of Trustees is taken care of by a Community School Committee, whose membership consists of not less than one or more than thre-e persons from each town, depending upon the pro- portional number of pupils attending from each participating town. The members of the Board of Trustees and the Community School Committee serve without pay except for the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, who may re- ceive an amount not to exceed S100 per year. The Community School District is a corporation and has the power to borrow money not in excess of 596 of the total State valuation of the District. The official name of the District un- der which your high school is organized is the Ashland Community School Dis- trict. There are four participating towns, namely, Ashland, Portage, Gar- field and Nashville. This District was the second in the State to organize. There are now four Community Schools in Maine being run under the provisions of the above law. A great deal of time has been spent by the Board of Trustees in order that your High School building might com- pare favorably with other schools in towns of comparable size. All who have seen the building seem to agree that the Board of Trustees performed their duties well. Such a venture can not become reality until a majority of the persons in the participating towns are willing to ex- pend a large amount of money in the form of taxes. It is well to keep in mind that considerable sacrifice has been made by the taxpayers in order that adequate school facilities could be pro- vided. The students who attend this school must understand that a good school building does not assure one of an adequate high-school education. It is necessary, therefore, that the teach- ers and administrators make every effort to provide suitable courses of studies and present the work in an in- teresting and constructive manner. Each student in the school must realize it is still his individual responsibility to put forth every effort possible in his several studies. The old adage that one gets out of an activity about what he puts into it, holds true in school work as in other phases of life. We who participated in the building of your high school, sincerely hope you will make good use of your building, take proper care of it and secure for yourselves an adequate high school ediu- cation in order that you may in future years become citizens who are a credit to your town, community, state, nation and world. SUPT. BUFORD GRANT DEDICATION OF NEW COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL On March 10, 1950 the new Com- munity High School was formally dedi- cated by Harland A. Ladd, Commis- sioner of Education. Ralph Clifford, chairman of the Board of Trustees, was master of cere- monies and introduced the trustees of the district :. Guy Kirk and Clyde Craig of Ashland, Frank Morris, Ervin Bols- tridge, and Wilfred Atkins, Alfred Hawksley, Clifton Howe, and Ralph Tilley of Garfield, Edgar Searway and James McAlpine of Nashville. Mary Carter a third trustee was absent. He then introduced Mr. Jackson, architect for N. W. Downing of Presque Isle who designed the building. He next intro- duced Mr. Buford Grant, Superintend- ent and presented him with symbolical key to the town. Mr. Ladd gave a thought provoking talk on the requirements of the secon- dary school. He extended his sincere congratulations to us as a community and as a district on the completion of a fine building in which to educate our youth. The invocation was given by Rev. Wilfred Albert, pastor of the St. Marks Parish. Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Herbert Balcolm, Congregational pastor of the Aroostook Larger Parish. Refreshments were served after the ceremony in the Home Economics room to nearly five hundred guests.

The Junior Prom was held in the Ashland Community Gymnasium on April 14th. For this occasion we en- gaged a band consisting of school boys from Presque Isle, known as the Down- beats . Our first semi-formal dance, all hearts were afiutt-er and many an anxious eye spanned the skies that afternoon, fearful lest a stray April shower might ruin all that new finery. All went well, the Prom was a huge success and a happy group of Juniors wended their way homeward at a late hour. Front row, left to right: A. Ouellette. J. Wakefield, A. Cowett, I Damboise. K.

SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore Class started this year with an enrollment of 32 pupils. Early in the school year we held a class meeting in which we elected the class officers. We chose as president, Karl Diedrichseng vice president, Irene Damboiseg treasurer, Carlton Jimmo, and secretary, Alfred Cowett. Two of our class represented us in the Student Council. They were Frank Allen and Barbara Searway. On September 7, 1949, we held a meeting to decide on Freshman Recep- tion, and to find out when and where it would take place. We decided to hold this at the Grange Hall on October 21, 1949. The affair was very successful. The Sophomore Play, Candy Goes on a Diet was given at the new High School Gym on March 28, 1950. The cast, under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Dearborn, gave a grand performance. The cast included Barbara Searway, Norman Tucker, Joyce Reed, Frank Allen, Alfred Cowett, Dawn MacIntosh, and Carolyn Currie. Some of the Sophomore boys were active in basketball this year. They proved to be good winners as well as good losers. Frrmt row, left to right: J. McHatten, J. Beaulieu, B. West, J. Prue, E. Rand, P. Web- ber, M. Bartlett, M. Soucier, E. Cowett, C. Pierce, M.

The teachers and upperclassmen were alarmed when they watched the green Freshmen pass in view. But soon the Sophomores took command. The day of Freshman Recep- tion dawn-ed, and with it came the Freshmen in our weird attire. Boys wore make-up, bedroom slippers, bath- ing caps and girls' bathing suits over long underwear. The girls wore rubber boots and burlap sacks, tastefuly sashed with rope, over long underwear. Classes were delayed as we were re- quired to remove our footgear whenever we entered a room. But it was soon over, and we were allowed to take our right- ful places as the newest class of A. C. H. S. We sponsored two socials during the year, which were very successful. Our class officers were: President .,,...,., . . . ..-Paul Webber Vice President ....., .. .... .Marilyn Bartlett Secretary ...,.,,. , .. ,,,.,,.,Edna Rand Treasurer ,. Jeanette Prue Elf' tint' rg L I no ' x MISTAKEN AMBITION Mommy, Mommy, called the little boy excitedly, come see the funny man out here. He is playing some kind of a machine and he has the funniest animal wearing a tall hat. Tommy, won't you please be quiet? I have my housework to do and I can't bother with you. Go and play like a good boy and don't get dirty! With these words, tired Mrs. Brown resumed her work. There was still so much to do. Crestfallen blond Tommy, who was lonely and greatly attracted by the man, started to follow him. He didn't intend to run away but, oh, the music sounded so nice and the animal was so funny. Suddenly Mrs. Brown was conscious of a great stillness or quietness in the air. Tommy, who was always talking and laughing, was silent. Tommy, Tommy, where are you? Silence an- swered her spoken plea. What had Tommy wanted this morning? He spoke of a bird,-no. an animal and a man. The man was sing- ing or playing- Just then a notice over the radio in- terrupted Mrs. Brown's thought. Attention, everyone, be on the look- out for an organ grinder and a monkey! This man is a dangerous killer! Last seen on Brooks St. Mrs. Brown almost fainted. Tommv was in danger! It was this man that had attracted Tommy and he had fol- lowed him. Perhaps right now Tom- my's body was lying in some isolated ditch. Mrs. Brown threw down her duster and almost fiew out the door into the street. In her agony she did not think to notify the police. The residents of Brooks St. saw a strange spectacle that afternoon. Mrs. Brown, always so neat and sedate, was running down the street, with no thought of her appearance, sobbing as if her heart would break. Down Brooks Street, up Adams Street, and through Bacon Street-Oh, where was Tommy? Finally she asked a policeman on the street if he knew anything about the organ grinder. Why, yes, answered the policeman, he was caught soon after the radio broadcast. Did he have a small curly-haired boy with him, My Tommy followed him this morning and I can't End him. You said his name was Tommy and he has curly hair, There was a boy with him and he is at the police station. He couldn't remember where he lived. He is probably eating his dinner, now. Mrs. Brown scarcely waited for the policeman to finish, but hiurried to the station. There, she found Tommy, all grins, and with dirty hands and face. As she tucked him into his crib that night, she resolved that she would never again be too tired and busy to listen to Tommy. Housework and the cares of her day were unimportant compared to the safety of her little son.

Away off there in the distance, Very few of us understand its existence. It dips and climbs and glides Accelerates, and stops and slides. Men drop their work and rush To view the object with a quiet hushg Its then that their women-folk get crosser At their silly antics as they gaze at the flying saucer. BLAKE BARTLETT '51 National Poetry Association. SPRINGTIME God created springtime for lovers No one can deny this. He made each little detail As sweet as a lover's kiss. He wove a spell of magic With illusions and expectancy, And filled all hearts with yearning For their true love to be. He took two lonely hearts And awakened them-such bliss, God made the spring of beauty As sweet as a lover's kiss. MARILYN BERRY '52 National Poetry Association SUMMER IN MAINE When I get up in the morning The dew is on the grass, I stand in the doorway crooning For summer has come at last. Cows are in the meadowg trout are in the streamg Deer feeding in the forest-Is it all a dream? When evening shadows are falling And there's nothing more to do The whip-poor-wills are calling, For the long, long day is thrcugh. BETTY Howss '51 National Poetry Association STORMY NIGHT Mom and Dad were at the moviesg the children were all in bed. Oh! how comfortable I was. I was sitting in the big chair, in front of the fireplace, in the living room. I was listening to a very interesting murder mystery and I was trying to study English at the same time. Outside a storm was raging and as the sleet pounded against the window- panes I felt very glad to be safe in my own hlome. Burr!! The thought of it all made me shiver. The story on the radio was getting quite exciting. The robbers had escaped! I was frozen to my chair! I couldn't move! I listened again-and then I heard it! Somebody was up- stairs! I could hear the heavy footsteps directly above my head! I had to do something! Then I thought of the back stairs and decided to try them. I was frantic! I crawled easily .up over the stairs. All I could hear now was my heart pounding heavily in my ears. When I finally reached the top of the stairs I heard the footsteps again. It sounded as if they were down the front stairs. I paused for a second to catch my breath and muster up a little more courage. Suddenly I thought of mv baby sister downstairs! I had to do something! I started for Dad's room to get the gun. When I returned the noise had ceased. Now I was really in sus- pense! I tip-toed down the stairs and there before me was my little brother, yawning sleepily and yelling I want a drink of water! I. DAMBOISE '52 A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS I often find my thoughts wanderinfr. especially from school work, to different scenes. Sometimes I think of the far- away places I have never seen, and I have a moment's regret when I think that unless a miracle happens I'll never see them. Then I think of the farm I hope to own someday, and the modern machin- ery I hope to have, of the new converti- ble I want, and the potatoes I'll raise to feed some big city. I often think of the rotating plan of crops. of how helpful it is to the mod- ern farmer and how it differs from the ways of farming two hundred years ago. That part of history, which im- presses me most is the part which tells primitive ways of farming. Sometimes I think of the supersti- tions concerning farming, such as plant- ing potatoes when the moon is in a cer- tain phase, or digging them when it is in another. Sometimes I laugh at the superstitions and sometimes I wonder if they should be believed, or at least half believed. Ithink of my Dad's farm and the things he has done to it, and how far it has progressed. I think of the new truck we bought just recently, and feel very proud that through honest work and labor we get new trucks, better homes, running water, and new school houses. When I think of our government, with its good and bad points, I realize that we must not let the threat of Com- munism sweep over us. We must keep our government democratic. I used to think that one person, such as I, couldn't make any difference in the way our government was run. Now, I feel differently, because I know that my vote in a presidential election or a local election will mean as much as anyone's. A. BRAGDON '50 WHAT GENDER? Well, isn't it sweet? Isn't it cute?

SANDRA BELYEA '53 GIRLS Girls are beautiful but not so bright They walk in beauty, like the nightg They are always wearing powder and paint To make th-em look like what they ain't.

'52 EXAMS Mr. McLaughlin has announced, That nine-week exams are here, So each night I take books home, To no avail, I fear. For just as I have settled down, And opened up a book, In come my little brothers Playing cops and crooks. My papers get all scatered, My erasers disappear, I lose the place in my book And wipe away a tear. So, if I flunk my nine-week tests 'Don't put the blame on me, Just blame those little monsters, For driving me cra-zy. MARILYN BERRY '52 THIS COULD HAPPEN TO AMERICA Perry watched from the deck of the U.S.S. Juliana until all he could see was a tiny black speck in the distance. This tiny speck was his home country of Bel- gium, which he would probably never see again. As the cold wind raced around him he felt a surge of homesickness and ex- citement sweep through him. You see, Perry was leaving Belgium to come to America and live with an aunt. He really couldn't remember many happy events in Belgium though, it was war- war. His childhood had been a maze of fear. His father was killed early in the war and Perry had nothing but a vague remembrance of him. Now his mother was gone too. She had worked endless- ly in a war-torn city, trying to make a living for herself and her small son. Work, strain and hunger had drawn her away. Now Perry was on his way to live with an aunt in America. America-what would this land be like? His mother had sometimes told him about the beautiful land of free- dom, across the ocean and he had thought that it would be wonderful if someday he and his mother could go there. Now he was going alone, he had no relatives, except an aunt, whom he had never seen. Perry is just one of thousands of war refugees who have no families and who have been left to -make their own way in the world. It happened that Perry was one of the fortunate ones who was able to come to America and start life an-ew in a country of free enterprise. The others who remain in the war-to-rn lands, will grow up with hate in their minds, because they've known nothing but hate, fear and abuse. They won't have the opportunity for an education and they will be an easy prey for any kind of dictatorship or totalitarian gov- ernment, that sweeps their way. War is crippling civilization and creating people who think of nothing but war. No sooner is one arm-ed con- test over than unrest rages again and everyone talks of another war. A next war will do no good because it will end, no doubt, without having ac- complished anything. High-er education and a chance for people to see what freedom and free -enterprise are like, would be a much better way of avoiding war. If this can be accomplished there will be no more little boys like Perry and the many others, whose country is a battleground. If this cannot be accomplished there may not be a Land of Liberty to come to next time. SHIRLEY KIRK '51 THE INSPIRATION OF THE CROSS Susan Peters dropped the book she was reading and turned off the radio. She turned her wheel-chair around and look-ed out of the double windows of the Peters' living room. As she gazed, she could see the same buildings and scenes she had seen for several weeks now. In fact, it was ever since the plane crash. She was thinking, what if she had to stay in that wheel-chair for years, and looked at the same things all the time. When Dr. Morgan came in this after- noon, she was going to make him t ll her whether she would ever walk again. But she was determined that she must walk again. She had prayed and prayed about it ever since she had re- gained consciousness after the plane crash. Her faith in God was so sure- He would not fail her in her need. She could see her brother's new build- ing not far from her window and the big sign on the top that read Gregory Peters, Radio Shop. Susan's mother came in with her drawing pencils and pad and put them on the table beside her. She start-ed to take them out but she couldn't sketch now. She had promised Greg that she would draw a sketch of his new build- ing to hang in his office. It seemed to her that Greg was too much wrapped up in his work and spiritual things were slowly fading away. What could she do to help Greg regain his lost faith 'Z Just then, Dr. Morgan walk-ed in. Be- fore he had time to take his coat off, she asked him if she would ever walk again. Taking his time and making no answer, Dr. Morgan slowly removed his overcoat and sat down in the easy chair. I'll never walk again. Is that why you don't answer '? asked Susan. Dr. Morgan looked all around and then admired one of her pictures she had drawn, that was hanging on the wall. He said that if she kept on, striving for depth of perception, she would be a wonderful artist some day. Then he looked directly at Susan and told her bluntly that he didn't know whether she would ever walk again. He said that he had hoped to have good news for her, but that possibility seemed remote, now. He had asked a specialist, Dr. Henderson, to come and see her. When the Doctor had gone, Susan picked up her Bible and tried to read. How could she read when hope was gone and such a dark future loomed ahead? Dr. Morgan was only wasting his time. Dr. Henderson would only tell her the same thing--she would never walk again. Picking up her pencil and paper, she decided that she would draw a night scene with a black background. She tried hard, but it just wouldn't come out the way she wanted it. A week later, it was still unhnished. Then one winter evening through her window she saw the lighted radio shop. Somewhere there must be an inspiration that would mean so much to her that she could put it into her picture! She sat looking at the building, and just then a beam of light shot out from the shop that formed the image of a perfect cross. Here was the answer. She snatched up her pad and her fingers fairly raced as she drew in the outline of the picture she had seen in her mind's eye. Later that evening, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Henderson came. The picture, all but finished, lay on her Bible. Dr. Mor- gan introduced the specialist, who said he would soon know whether she would ever walk again. After the examination the two dcc- tors left the room to discuss the prob- lem. While they were still out, Greg came in and asked to see the picture. When he looked at it, his face dropped. It wasn't what he had expected to see. As he gazed at the picture, his thoughts raced back over the years. How many months had it been since he had been to church? Where was the faith that had upheld him for so long? How far he had fallen without even realizing it! You are right, little sister, I will hang this in my office to remind me every day that the Cross still has power. About that time the doctors came back and after a few lovino' words, Greg depart-ed. Susan forgot Greg and the picture as she waited breathlessly for the verdict. We are not positive, said Dr. Hen- derson, it will mean an operation and a serious one, but I'm pretty sure you'll be walking again in a few months. You really said I'd be walking? ex- claimed Susan, h-er face all aglow. Smiling, they nodded. Just don't worry about it, Susan, warned Dr. Morgan. You see that picture over there, Dr. Morgan '? Susan asked. I did that for Greg. I won't worry as long as I can see that Cross in the window. M. SEARWAY '50 HoNoRs A WE POINT WITH PRIDE TO Four poems submitted by students of the Ashland Community High School were accepted by the National Poetry Association for publication in their 1950 book Young America Sings , the New England Anthology of High Schools. These poems were Flying Saucer by Blake Bartlett, Summer in Maine by Betty Howes. Springtime by Marilyn Berry, The Lov.ing Star by Myrna Soucier. Polly McNamara of the Junior Class won third place in th-e Aroostook Cen- tral League Speaking Contest held at Easton. A special certificate for excellence in Latin was won by Joan Pierce in Latin II, also by Walter Pi-erce in Latin I. To be eligible for these certificates, the stu- dents must maintain a rank of 90 or more for the entire year. Th-e Future Farmers attended the State Convention at the University of Maine in Orono last November 12. Six- teen schools competed. Ashland fin- ished with highest team scores, having won first place in poultry and milk judging. Eben Ellis was the winner in poultry with Dayton St. Peter as second winner. Albert Searway won first in milk judging. Ashland Community is now in pos- session of three plaques, one for poultry, one for milk judging, and the grand Championship Plaque. The winter sports t-eam added three more, trophies to the school's collection to uphold their distinction as one of the strongest teams in this section of the state this year. At Limestone the boys defeated Limestone High in their annual Winter Carnival by a decisiv-e margin. For the second straight year, we won both the Central League championship and the Aroostook County Ski Cham- pionship. This year, the county ski meet was held in Ashland. The eight man Ashland team made a fine showing, taking all first places to go on to the most decisive victory any Aroostook Ski Team has ever scored.

The Student Council has been active this year due to the fact that our extra- curricular activities have increased. The first Student Council meeting was held October 11, 1949, and officers were elected. On October 19, an impressive in- stallation ceremony was held in as- sembly hall of the Central School. The following officers took oath of oflice: President ,..,... 1 ..,...............

Sponsorship of annual magazine contest. 2. The chartering of two new clubs, Junior Classical League and Future Homemakers of America. 3. The managing of School Store which involves ordering supplies and looking after finances. One objective of the Council is to encourage students to take an active part in the school activities, for in this way, interest is increased, school morale is raised and a feeling of pride in accomplishment developed. As time goes on, the duties and powers of the Council will broaden and it will become an increasingly effective agency in the administration of our school program.

For many weeks before our official appearance, the teachers and under- classmen were mystified by rumors of rabbits, parsnips, strange inventions, with even a genius thrown in for good measure. The mystery was finally unraveled when Ralph Chase gave a convincing portrayal of a genius, who finally real- ized that teen-age activities were not so meaningless, after all. Willis Gardi- ner, a soap manufacturer for whom Ralph conducted a radio quiz program, was superb as he portrayed, first, an irate business man, and then a rabbit, as he succumbed to Ralph's hypnotic machine. Betw-een the acts, Sophie Clark, as Rhodora, unconscious of the fact that the curtain was nearly transparent, had the audience in gales of laughter as she gave an impromptu dance, complete with feather duster and much curtsey- ing. Much credit goes to Mrs. Tilley for her able coaching of the play. JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE First row, left to right: J. Pierce, E. Rand, B. West, D. MacIntosh, K. Diedricksen, J. McNally, S.

For the Hrst time, we have in our school, a chapter of the Junior Classical League, a national organization of Latin students. The purpose of the League is best explained by our char- ter. The members of the Junior Classi- cal League covenant to hand on the torch of classical civilization to the modern world. They believe an ac- quaintance with the civilization of Greece and Rome will help them under- stand and appraise this world of today, which is indebted to ancient civilization in it's governments, laws, literatures, languages, and arts.

S. was put out on November 16, 1949. It was planned that the paper should come out every two weeks on Friday. The paper has been successful in as much as it has given us much experi- ence in writing stori-es and composing poetry. School announcements and news, historical articles and literary compositions, as well as jokes and the popular Peeky's Report have made the paper of common interest to all students. This year's experience has been good for us and we hope in the following years New Echoes of A. C. H. S. will become -even more success- ful. The members of the staff of the school paper would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Dearborn for her kind supervision and guidance, which have played a major role in mak- ing the paper a success.

This is a national organization of stu- dents studying homemaking in the Junior and Senior High Schools. This club off-ers opportunity for further de- velopment of student initiative in plan- ning and carrying out activities in homemaking.

Miss Caroline Rancourt A membership drive was sponsored in December and, at present, there are forty-two members. In January the club sponsored a food sa'-3 at the Ashland Hardware Store. A little later in February 1950 two of our members were invited to attend a meet- ing of the Future Homemakers of Mapleton. The girls w-ere Jean Weaver and Pauline MacNamara. On Feb. 8, 1950 the Ashland Chapter of the Future Homemakcrs and the Future Farmers joined in entertaining the clubs from Mapleton. On March 16 a very successful box social was held at the gymnasium. The Future Homemakers of 1949-50 hope that this highly profitable club will continue in the years to come. We also wish to thank our adviser and friend, Miss Rancourt, for the fine leadership and guidance. . -N: N CHEERLEADERS Front row, left to right: S. Clark, H. Hews, R. Cook, G. Nadeau, F.

At first the girls were alternated, but soon the permanent cheerleaders were chosen. They were: Sophia Clark, H-elen Hews, Gretchen Nadeau, Ruth Cook, and Frances Deabay. These girls accompanied the Varsity team to Limestone and Mapleton. The girls turned in a creditable per- formance. We are sure that practice and experience will enable them to equal any such organization in the county. All CURTIS MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN On Nov. 1, the annual magazine cam- paign was started. Grades 7 to 12 were divided into two teams. Jeannine Bou- chard was named captain of grades 7, 9, and 11. Joan Pierce was captain of grades 8, 10, and 12. Ellen Ellis was named General Manager. The battle was on! Interest was high as the two teams came to the last few days with only a small margin of dif- ference. On Nov. 16, the campaign closed with grades 8, 10 and 12 ahead by a small margin. The school, as a whole, had sold 3751.80 worth of magazines. Forrest Ayer proved to be high sales- man with S125.80 to his credit. Eben Ellis was second with S39.50. ASHLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY At the November P. T.

WINTER SPORTS PROGRAM OF 1950 Ashland Community High's Winter Sports team completed a successful season on March fourth by scoring a decisive victory over four of the county's strongest teams in the Aroos- took County Ski Meet at Sheridan Mountain in Ashland. Phil Cunningham and Ralph Chase each took two first places in the four event meet, and, to our knowledge, this is the first time two boys from the same team have done this. During the season our team competed in six meets and emerged victoriously from three of them. We won the County Meet, the Aroos- took Central League Meet at Easton, and the Limestone Winter Carnival. We also placed a close second in the Fort Fairfield Carnival, but dropped to third place in the Fort Kent Carni- val, due, in Coach Porter's opinion, to lack of practice. As this was the first year of basketball at A. C. H. S. a suitable practice plan was not worked out and, consequently, both basketball and winter sports will be the chief sport at Ashland Community High and, for that rea- son, the team's good showing was welcomed more eagerly than usual. The team will lose only two members, Ralph Chase and Carlton MacLean, through graduation, and, even though it may be a minor sport next year, it should continue to show its supremacy as it has in years past. The mathematical results of the year's six meets are as follows: LIMESTONE CARNIVAL Ashland-36, Limestone-16 FORT FAIRFIELD CARNIVAL Fort Fairfield--39, Ashland--253 Limestone -9, A. C.

Searway, Coach Mr. Porter. CROSS COUNTRY It has been said, I don't know whether only crazy boys go out for cross country or whether cross country makes boys crazy. Even though this may or may not be true, the following boys were on the Cross Country squad: Ralph Chase, Dean Winslow, Carlton MacLean. Frank Allen, Alfred Cowett, Norman Tucker, and Everett Cowett. Cross Country is a very tough sport and requires a lot of training which comes at a diflicult time of year-potato picking time. The only school that has a cross country team in Aroostook County, besides Ashland, is Presque Isle, who won the State meet, this year. Although the team has yet to win a meet, the team spirit is high and the boys look forward to next season, hoping to do better. This year the team loses three of its members by gradu- ation: Carlton MacLean, Ralph Chase, and Dean Winslow. The State Meet was the big event of the year as far as the Cross Country boys were concerned. Not having taken a meet all year, the Thinly C.ads were hoping to upset some of the other teams. But lack of balance proved fatal and the team finished 11th. Carlton MacLean finished 7th and qualiiied for the New England Cross Country Meet held in Connecticut, but was unable to attend.

BASKETBALL PROGRAM OF 1950 Although this is the first year that Ashland has had a basketball team since 1938, in a matter of a couple of weeks practice 'Coach Donald Buckley turned out a team which falthough not a league champ, or tourna- ment winner! did better than was expect-ed. Only one boy on the squad had had any previous experi- ence at all in playing basketball. Three of the boys, Gardner, Michaud, and MacLean are over six feet tall and Chase at 5-11 made a fairly tall team. The boys look forward to n-ext year with the high hopes, only three boys will be lost by graduation and with this year's experience as a starter the boys should give any team in the Aroostook Central League a hard time tcome next win- terl. I would like to comment on the nne support that the students and towns- people have shown by turning out in large crowds to support our team.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Twenty-three girls went out for basketball in the past season. Practice began in November, under the coaching of Mrs. Dearborn. All membersgof the team were inexperienced, and although were victorious in only two of the seven games played, we gained a great deal of experience, which will make a better team in the coming seasons. The following is a list of the girls who play-ed in most of the games, and their positions: Forwards-Pauline MacNamara, Myrna Soucier, Shirley Kirk, Jean Weaver, Joyce Reed.

They sported a 4-4 record in A.C.L. com- petition and ended up third place. We were the only team in the league to de- feat Easton, who won its second straight championship. Although Ash- land's record is not an outstanding one, the team got off to a bad start, and after dropping its first two battles, it began to loosen upand finished the season by winning its last five games. The team lost five of its regular starting nine through graduation last June, and Coach Buckley has the job of building an almost complete new ,infield and outfield out of comparatively green players this year. Members of last year's squad who are back this year are Carlton MacLean, Phil Cunningham, Ralph Chase, Albert Searway, Forrest Ayer, Carlton Jimmo, Blake Bartlett, and Carl Hews.

The track squad is about the same as last year, as only three men were grad- uated. Ralph Chase should excell his 35 feet with the shot, and should do well in the other field events. Carrol Mountain, last year took first in the Central League and Aroostook Class S County me-et in the javelin event, as did C. MacLean in Central League mile and half mile, and finished first in the Aroostook S mile. Blake Bartlett, Philip Cunningham, and Alfred Cowett showed promise in the 880, 440, and 220-yd. dashes. Coach Porter looks for- ward to a group of new boys to fill the gap left by the boys who graduated. lt is hoped that attendance and par- ticipation in track and cross country will be greater this year and n-ext. Don't forget that school spirit is often judged by the interest taken in your school's activities. SCHOOL CALENDAR August 29, 1949 Here we are at school again for an- other year to try to improve our minds. Do you suppose it is possible? We missed some faces but there were many to take their places. September 9, 1949 Get out the liniment and gloves, for here comes potato picking. Many a lame back will be seen, but the sight of the check on Saturday will be the best cure. October 3, 1949 School again. Now is the time for us to get to work in earnest. Something new has been added. The Parent-Teacher Association meeting was held and the new organization got off to a good start. October 19, 1949 The Student Council installed their oilicers today in an impressive cere- mony. Officers are: President ............,..,...............,. Forest Ayer Vice President ................,..,. Joan P.ierce Secretary ............... Jeannine Bouchard Treasurer .............,.......... Dean Winslow October 21, 1949 Everyone rubbed his eyes and took another look at the apparitions that ap- peared on Ashland streets today. Men's long underwear with burlap sacks or bathing suits over them were the order of the day for the Green Freshmen. October 24, 1949 The girls' hearts are fluttering again. Bob Sprague of Curtis Publishing Company arrived this morning to start off the magazine drive. Buddy Ayer proved to be the high salesman in a campaign that was nip-and-tuck right up to the closing date. November 16, 1949 CRASH, another camera was out of commission as the Seniors took their places one by one to have their pictures taken. Jackson-White Studios are here again risking valuable equipment in an attempt to photograph the Seniors. November 1 6, 1949 Wild-eyed reporters and harassed editors can now take a well-earned rest. The first edition of New Echoes of A. C. H. S. is now on sale. This news- paper will be published every two weeks of the school year. December 22, 1949 There have been strange goings-on for some time now. There have been rumors of hypnotism, and cries of Parsnips, Parsnips throughout the halls. It all came to a climax tonight in the Senior Play, The Perfect Idiot . December 23, 1949 Xmas vacation at last. Now is the time to admire our gifts and relax after the exciting weeks just past. January 1, 1950 ' A new year and a new start in our studies. Many resolutions are being aired. Most of them are about studying hard and not whispering. Do you sup- pose they will be kept? January 21, 1950 Why do all the girls gather in groups and cry on each other's shoulder. Hard- ly a girl is seen with dry eyes. What can be the matter? I remember now. Mr. Buckley went home for a weekend and got married! Anybody got a hand- kerchief? Sniff! January 30, 1950 Days of days. Our long awaited exodus from Central School building. The new Community High School is now a fact, not a dream. The splendor of our new quarters so overwhelms us that we resolve to be very quiet and studious ffor at least half a dayi. February 2, 1950 The new gym has been used for a dance for the first time. The P.T.A. sponsored a dance that proved to be a big success. More innovations. A public library has been installed in room 23 beside our own school library. Now we may be able to get something to read besides Funny books. February 17, 1950 . Vacation time is here again. So much has happened since our last one that it seems years since we were celebrating Christmas. February 24, 1950 Back again and another lap of our journey to run. Discussions about the yearbook makes the time seem very short from now until Spring. March 10, 1950 Jackson-White returned today to take the group pictures. They certainly are a brave lot to try to tame these wild In- dians long enough to take their pic- tures. Commissioner Harland A. Ladd of Augusta was the speaker at an official dedication of the New Community High School. He complimented us on our fine building and personnel and extended best wishes for success to come. March 25, 1950 Tragedy struck in the night when the Central School building where we have spent so many happy days, burned to the ground. Ashland, Masardis, Mapleton and Presque Isle fire depart- ments were called and did their best, but were unable to save the building. March 27, 1950 Vacation started today, two weeks earlier than was planned, due to the fire. Much planning was necessary to care for all the grade students, but eventually a plan was evolved whereby students were sent to Portage, Garfield, Frenchville and some were housed in the Masonic Hall. April 3, 1950 Back to school once more. The grade students have been transferred to dif- ferent places and the 7th grade is now in the Community High School. April 10, 1.950 The Junior Classical League pre- sented two plays at P.T.A. meeting. Life With Octavia and In Gallia were presented and were well received. April 12, 1950 Polly McNamara won the first prize in Junior Prize Speaking with her fine rendition of The School Program . Shirley Kirk was second with her selec- tion Ashes of Roses . Blake Bartlett won third prize with The Bishop's Candlesticks . April 14, 1950 The big day finally arrived. It was a bright sunny day that alleviated the girls' worries abolut their new finery for the biggest event of the year- Junior Prom. When it was over, it was judged to be the best Prom for many years. THE FIRST HIGH SCHOOL Built on Cottage Hill in 1893. Used both for grades and high school until 1913. Sold to the Odd Fellows and moved to the center of the town. Remodeled and now used as Ashland Opera House. First graduating class 1900. HISTORY OF EDUCATION IN ASHLAND There is much evidence that the pio- neers of Ashland were interested in education. Indeed, many of them were well educated as manifest in the diction of their letters and records. Their in- terest in things of a higher level is apparent when we realize that the town was always supplied with a minister, and that the Episcopal and Free Baptist churches were two of the oldest public buildings. Today should you happen into the homes of these pioneers, a couple of generations removed, you would be apt to find as I have, one reading law, an- other Dickens or Thackeray purely for recreation. Others delight in extensive reading of Greek and Roman Myth- ology. Such cultural tastes are ,instilled in the homes and fostered in the public schools. Our earliest written records are in- dicative of the pioneers' interest in educating their youth. In the records of the yearly meeting of Plantation No. II, Range 5, which was held April 3, 1843, the inhabitants elected John S. Gilman, Solomon Brown, and Jabez Dorman superintending School Committee. The same year a reference to a school house was made in the notice issued Sept. 4, 1843, calling the voters to meet at the schoolhouse for the elec- tion of state and county officials. It can be assumed this school was in a home as was th-e custom in New England towns in an earlier period. However, according to the record of Plantation No. II, Range 5, on June 29, 1844, a building and land owned by Solomon Soule was willed by him to the Plantation, for the sum of one dol- lar. Thislbuilding was to be used for a schoolhouse and meeting house only. This school was situated where the Ashland Motors now stands. No record of what happened to that school was discovered. There is no basis for estimating the number of Dame Schools which have been conducted in this town. However, Mrs. Cad Hews and Mrs. Sophia Howe conducted two of the last Dame Schools in Ashland. In an Atlas of Aroostook County pub- lished by Roe and Colby, it was ascer- tained that there were two schools in Ashland in 1877. The older one, the Bridge school, was located across the Aroostook River. This was used mostly during the summer terms of school. Its use as a school was discontinued in the early 1900's and the building was used on a few occasions as a pesthouse and later converted into a dwelling hcnuse. The Atlas labeled the school in the center of the town as High School and Masonic Hall. The school occupi-ed the first floor and the Masons held their meetings on the second floor. This building, which was located where the Firehouse and Town Office now stands, continued in use until the Central School was completed in 1913. Follow- ing this it was used as Town oilice until it burned in 1926. You will probably ask as I did: What kinds of schools were these? Who were the teachers and what weie their quali- fications? What was the enrollment and how long was the school year? I have become convinced from con- versations with older citizens of the town that an outstanding characteristic was variation. The schools were mixed or ungraded. The school terms varied in length. the enrolment one term might be 50, the next term 20. The sub- ject matter varied somewhat. About 1885 Martin Nowland taught the win- ter term in the South School and fall and spring terms he taught high school in town. Latin and higher mathematics were usually taught. A few of the other well known teach- ers prior to 1900 included Frank Orcutt, Emma Bearce, Julia Butler, Lizzie Smith, Mae Bearce, Annette Goding, Ella Dorman, Clara Drummond, Lovisa Cofiin, Harry Greenwood, Jenny Lufkin and Lizzie Kalloch. It is said that some- times a teacher with a strong arm was required. At one such time Joshua Bartlett was successfully employed. What about the qualifications of the teachers of this era? I shall cite the case of Lovisa Coffin which is probably a fair criterion. Her father made ar- rangements with Sophia Howe to in- struct his daughter. Later Miss Coffin attended Young Women's Boarding School in Brattleboro, Vermont and re- turned to teach in Ashland the first year of the Civil War. She continued teach- ing until her marriage to Dearborn Bearce. The first town report was published in 1899 at which time there were six schools, namely, the Union School, iAshland and Masardisl, located at Squa Pan, the Bridge School, Stetson School, South School, Primary School and High School. The school year was usually 28 weeks at this time. The turnover in teachers was much greater than at present, as the teachers were as apt to resign at the end of the term as at the end of the year. In 1893 the construction of a new school was started at the end of what is now called Old School Street. When the building was completed, the s-chools were divided. The primary children re- mained in the old school with Mrs. D. B. Mansur as teacher. The grammar grades were on the first floor and the high school on the second floor of the new building. The teachers and superintendents were striving to establish a standard of instruction. About this time the State pass-ed a law requiring the towns which did not support high schools to pay tuition for pupils who attended high school elsewhere. The State law further required that many subjects including Latin, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy, and Rhetoric be taught. Yet, the law did not specify how long instructi-on in these subjects should be continued. Superintendent Seth Thornton, who was also a com- petent lawyer, set up a course of study which complied with the Stat-e require- ments. However, instnuction in most -of these subjects was given for one term only, thus, copying from report of 1899 Pupil completing the H. S. course will be admitted to Rick-er Institute upon certificate of the principal without fur- ther examination and should be able to complete the course of that school in two years. The process of transition continued for a number of years. The school ad- ministrators continued in their efforts to raise the standard and grading of all schools. The course of stuoy is still fre- quently changed to comply with State requirements. A memorable occasion in the history of Ashland was marked by the graduat- ing of five students from A. H. S. in the class of 1900. The faculty of the high school con- sisted of a principal and assistant. Among the first principals were Mr. Howard, Mr. Whitcomb, Mr. Turner and A. A. Towne. Early assistants included Sophia Coffin, Ada McNally and Ada Max-ey. In 1911, Rose Carver Tilley began her teaching career in Ashland. Ashland is indeed fortunate in having a teacher of Mrs. Tilley's experience, ability, and de- votion to her profession. I have skimmed the reports of school administrators as printed in the town reports for the past fifty-one years and have been impressed by the amazing similarity of the aspirations and prob- lems of the school superintendents. Al- ways there has been expressed a desire to broaden and improve the ediucational standard of the schools, a wish to im- prove the health conditions for the chil- dren, and an expression of gratitude to the citizens for each advancement made. I have jotted down a few pertinent facts concerning these schools as taken from the reports: 1903-Three new school buildings were established this year, namely Sheridan, Hill, and Thornton. 1907-Music was introduced. Lillias McNally was Superintendent at this time. Music has since been taught inter- mittently. 1910-Mr. Florent Whitmore was the first full time district Superintendent employed in this locality. 1913-The new Central building was completed. The class of 1913 was the first class to graduate from this build- ing. 6 Picture and information found elsewherel. This school was destroyed by fire the morning of March 25, 1950. 1916-Ninth grade transition from a nine to an eight grade system. 1917-A domestic science course was inaugurated. 1922-Physical -education and type- writing courses were introduced for a few years. 1922-The Stetson school was discon- tinued and the pupils conveyed to the Central school. This practice was con- tinued until at the present time only pupils from the South sch-ool and Sheri- dan schools are not brought into the town school. The advantages of consolidation are revealed by a comparison of the school situations in 1910 and 1950. In 1910 the school enrollment was 382 and the town employed 15 teachers and one part time superintendent. In 1950 there are 16 full time and one part time teacher and a superin- tendent and secretary employed. The present enrollment is 657. 1922-A school lunch program was introduced. Something hot was served to about 30 pupils to supplement the cold lunches which the children brought from home. This program, which was part of the domestic science course for many years, was expanded until recent- ly regular cooks have been employed and nutritional meals served for 20c to an average of 300 pupils. 1924-A.H.S. was placed on the ap- proved list by the New England Board of Colleges. Mr. Walter Linscott, a much admired man, was principal at this time. Only schools of high standing are placed in this classification. A.H.S. has continuously remained on this ap- proved list since 1924. 1930-The grammar school was com- bined with the high school. The chang- ing to a junior high school permits more departmental work. This also closed the gap b-etween the grades and high school and as a result very few have dropped out at the end of the eighth grade. A democracy depends on an educated citizenry. However this change has imposed greater teaching difficulties with pupils of such varied capacities. 1931-A course in agriculture was introduced. The boys built a shop in the basement. 1937-The new agricultural building was completed. The F. F. A. boys have excelled in their competition with out- side towns in judging farm products, livestock and poultry. In 1938 seven alumni of A.H.S. were on the Dean's list at Colby College. As large a sum as 5600.00 has been award- ed in scholarships. 1949-A school physician was em- ployed. 1949-A very active and friendly P. T. A. was organized. 1950-A banner year! On January 30 a modern high school building was ready for occupancy. Qlnformation about this school found elsewherej. No account of A. H. S. could be com- plete without mentioning extra-curric- .ular activities. A Senior play has been presented yearly under the competent coaching of Mrs. Rose Tilley. Intra- mural plays, speaking contests and de- bating have been a regular part of the school program. Our school has com- peted successfully with other Aroostook towns in these activities. School exhi- bitions and clubs have developed the executive ability of the boys and girls. A. H. S. through the years has made a fine showing in athletic competition- winter sports, baseball and basketball. The people of Ashland have been proud of the sportsmanship shown by the boys in both their successes and defeats. Un- doubtedly no other member of a facfulty has a better opportunity to guide the boys than has their coach. The school IS fortunate in having two such fine coaches as Wayne Porter and Don Buckley. When we are observing an anniver- sary in the educational history of our town, we recall with pride that one in our midst began her teaching career in 1870. We pay tribute to Miss Carrie Nowland, a nonegenarian who has de- voted her life to the profession of teach- ing. THE FIRST CLASS-1900 Front frow, left to fright: Leland Young, Eva Shepard .

ALUMNI As this is the fiftieth anniversary of Ashland High School, we feel it is only fitting that this issue should be devoted in a great part, to the al-umnig therefore we have set apart a section of our year- book for them. In this we are including the names and addresses of all grad- uates from 1900 on as far as we have been able to obtain them. During the latter part of March, we mailed 318 copies of a form letter to alumni, stating our purpose regarding the Anniversary issue and asking for 1904- 1909 items of interest which might be used. We have been happy to receive many answers and also checks amounting to 3192.88 which proves to us that A.H.S. alumni are generous and loyal. We are grateful and appreciative. As you read the alumni notes, please be mindful of the fact that we could print only the information received, we wish it were more complete. We are indebted to Miss Peggy Mc- Eachrean for the excellent history of Ashland Schools.
