Anderson EDITORIALS Youth, The Hope of the World Today's world struggle between tyranny and freedom is magnifying the responsibility of youth as never before. It would seem as if the older generations, out of all fairness, must admit, with Joel McRae, that to you from failing hands we throw the torch. Into the hands of youth this gener- ation is placing a gigantic task. At one and the same time youth must practice both patriotism and world mindedness. They must believe in full defense and the elimination of aggression while nurturing a love of peace as a great social goal. They must pattern their activities to pre- serve their own economic welfare while at the same time believe in assistance to the underprivileged peoples of the world. They must de- fend to the end the priceless heritage of free speech and free press, and at the same time devise laws that will suppress those who would use these freedoms to overthrow our govern- ment. Youth, be not discouraged with this order of contradictions. Are you not better informed in world affairs than the previous generation? Do you not have at your disposal far greater social and scientific knowl- edge? Do you not understand that our own welfare, as a free nation, depends upon all nations being free? Are you not thoroughly convinced that democratically controlled des- tiny is the only condition under which it is worthwhile to live? When the Seniors at Community High School state in their motto that the future of democracy rests in the youth of today, they express a great truth. In expressing this truth, they imply a responsibility to support the democratic way of life to the end. GROVER B. MACLAUGHLIN, Principal A Stage For Our Gymnasium We now have two new schools in our town and a large gymnasium. We are lacking the facilities to carry on public speaking and plays. The town needs, as you all know, a stage for presenting such activities. I am sure that you will agree with me in this matter. It is very hard to conduct a speak- ing contest, and above all to present a satisfactory play in the middle of the gymnasium. You may or may not have seen the one-act plays that were given a short time ago. If you did, you will agree that we had a very crude looking arrangement for a stage. A stage would mean that most of the people could sit, in the area where the basketball court is located, in chairs. Just think how wonderful it would be to have a large stage on which to perform. Stage facilities are a must if we are to continue to compete with other schools in speaking and dra- matics. As you have all seen, a modern school has improved students and given them a better understanding of what school means. It has helped to inspire them with a desire to learn. It is our responsibility, as students and future voters of Ash- land, to achieve this goal. PHIL B.

We were fifty-nine in number with Philip Cunningham president of the class. Our home room teacher was Mr. Grover MacLaughlin and was our guide for the year. We entered the activities of the school in large numbers with an aggressive attitude, and were very quickly recognized as leaders in athletics. As Sophomores we were still the largest class in high school, and Shirley Kirk became Class President. The Class of '51 was the first class in the history of the high school to be the conductors of a dancing school. Mr. Porter, a new member of the faculty, was our class advisor and guide. Order and organization were established within the class and we tamed the new Class of '52. Our third year proved to be a busy one for our ever decreasing numbers, now totaling thirty-seven. Floyd St. Peter was elected President. We were very active in sports, and dis- played our talent in O-ne Act Plays, Junior Prize Speaking, and other events of the year. As a class, we were making preparations and look- ing forward to our Senior year and graduation. The fourth and final year - the Senior Class assumed the leadership of the new school. With Blake Bart- lett as Class President and Mrs. Rose Tilley as Class Advisor, we proved outstanding in athletics. school activ- ities, Senior Play, and lastly, the One Act Plays. We look forward with anticipation to graduation and tak- ing our places in the adventures and opportunities awaiting us. B.

THOUGHTS ON GRADUATION I. Graduation day is drawing near Soon my friends and I shall part. I'll bid each one a sad farewell With precious memories in my heart. II. Four years we spent together Years that are now in the past. All the happy and cheerful days In my heart will forever last. III. SL-me days, the way was rough and hard At times, there seemed no end. We turned not back but struggled on And reached smooth road again. IV. And though I shall hate to say good- bye To my friends at A. C. H. S. I must go out into the world To make use of the knowledge I possess. V. So good-bye to happy days in the past And teachers and friends I love dear. Ne're again shall we all be together After graduation time, this year. POLLY MCNAMARA '51 THE AMERICAN DRAMA A beautiful, artificial rose glow hovered about the stage, reflected from the rose shaded foot-lights. An enormous grand piano was in the upper right hand corner of the plat- form, and at the opposite side there was a heavy, black velveteen curtain, covering the exit. The American flag fluttered over its rich surface, while the flag's shimmering stars reflected the glow of the lights into the dark background. I walked softly down the quiet hall and seated myself in the front row. I waited for what seemed an eternity and then I heard a slight rustling and the light tread of foot steps, coming from behind me. I turned and ob- served that the seats around me were rapidly filling. I looked at the people for a long time but I recognized no one. They seemed like creatures of a dream, absolutely without facial features and I thought surely I was losing my mind. I turned again towards the stage, resigned to my fate. Just then a group of actors came on the stage to portray a scene in the early coloni- zation of America. While the players enacted their parts, the pianist ac- companied them with patriotic music which swelled encouragingly through- out the silent hall, but the audience never stirred. The colonists were followed by im- portant characters who helped make our Democracy. As each of these played his role, the pianist tirelessly played music, obviously inspired by the acting. Suddenly the appearance of the stage changed. The rose lights turned a darker shade and the stage was bathed in a blood-red aura. The flag quivered mysteriously then remained still. The stars slowly faded from it and the stripes bilended together as one leaving a solid square of red material with no design. The pianist began to beat madly upon the keys and a moan arose from the faceless audience. A feeling of inexpressible terror filled me and my heart felt anguished and heavy. I knew in that instant what I had witnessed, the probable fall of our Democracy. Then I remem- bered the actors back-stage. I tried to push aside the curtain to reach them. I wanted to cry out against what I had seen-but the curtain would not move. It was as if some unseen evil force was working against me. As I tugged upon the curtains my finger- tips felt wet, as if bloodied by the contact. As I strove to pull aside the curtains, the faded cloth which once was our flag, became loosened and I pulled it from the draperies, and falling to my knees, I held it clutched tightly to me as I asked God for His help in preserving our Freedom and for the protection of America against tyranny. Then, as my prayer was being brokenly uttered, the draperies fiut- tered aside and around me, all the actors knelt in silent prayer. Slowly, softly, the harsh music died away, the stage resumed its original ap- pearance, the faded cloth once again displayed its gallant colors in the chosen emb-lem of our Free Nation, The United States of America. I turned towards the audience. and their radiant, smiling faces displayed their courage and loyalty to their country-you see, these were the American People. INIARILYN BERRY '52 MY DOG, LADDY One day when I came home from school there was a great surprise waiting for me in a little box in the kitchen. It was a three-weeks-old German shepherd pup. I squealed with delight when I saw him. The pup was very small so I de- cided I would bring him up to be a very fine dog. I named him Laddy. I fed him his meals from a bottle and he soon became very fat. When he was about three months old I started teaching him tricks. He learned to go after a stick, shake hands, and roll over on his belly for a bone. I bought him a rubber ball that he liked to play with. By the time he was a year old he was a big healthy dog. In the morning he would go out to the barn to watch my father milk. When I came home at night he would be at the gate to meet me. He always helped bring in the cows. I like to fish in the little brook in back of the h-ouse Cwhich you can also swim in! and he always ac- companied me. He was great com- pany. He went for long walks with me through the pastures and woods on our land. We had so much fun together, Laddy and I, that I never once thought about losing him. But one day I came home from school and there was no Laddy to meet me. My mother broke the news to me. Laddy had been killed when he had suddenly gone blind while in the road. We have another dog now but he will never take the place of Laddy. SHARON R. BELL '54 GETTING HOME AFTER MIDNIGHT Did you ever have the experience of getting home around one o'clock when you should have been in before 11:30'? Oh! So many things run through your mind! Now, where have you been? What are my parents go- ing to say? But the greatest question is, how am I going to get in. Well, you decide to make the best of things, so you are off for home. You try to ease your mind with the thoughts that maybe Mom and Dad are sleeping soundly enough not to waken, but could there be such luck! As the car slowly arrives in your yard, your dog starts barking for a period of ten minutes. All hopes are lost now. But you again regain cour- age and start to enter the house. VVhat makes the door stick? Guess probably you'll have to push a little harder. Oh, dear! There's a chair against it, which goes sailing across the floor. Already there had been enough noise to arouse anyone, but you pro- ceed cautiously. Now to get to the front room. Ooops! The dining room door is closed and you had to bump your head on that. Didn't miss the dining room table, either. A bumped head and a bruised toeg many a word runs through your mind, but not one is uttered. If only you're able to reach that light in the front room now! Of course after a series of hitting chairs, which seem to be deliberately mis- placed, you stand where the light should be-but much to your dispair you knock the light from the stand, causing another loud crash. Oooh! But is your temper rising, degree by degree! It just seems as if everything happens to you! Guess you'd better get to bed and forget the whole thing, so you re- move your shoes and with them in one hand and coat in the other you proceed up stairs. Not a word is said by anyone. Two more steps. You're going to make it yet. There you go again, stubbing your toe, the same one that you bumped in the dining room. Now your in for it. It isn't long before you're in dream- land, only to be awakened by your father calling Breakfast ! Oh, the dread of going down to face them when you hadn't kept your promise about getting home. But what do you hear? Your father asks you why you came home so early because when he went to a dance he usually stayed until the end. Who can blame you for being rather disgusted? Such is life. MARGUERITE COLBATH '54 WINTER Winter time is my favorite time of the year. During the time when snow is on the ground and the rivers and lakes are frozen over, there are many sports in which one may participate. Some of these are, skiing, skating, sliding and snowshoeing. When the time for winter sports rolls around my heart pounds with excitement. Nothing thrills me more than coming down a mountain side at express train speed on a pair of skis. Skating is another of my favorite sports. When I have a pair of skates on and go whirling around on the rink my spirit feels as free as that of a little snow bunting. The many fig- ures that may be performed on a pair of skates is amazing. It always fasci- nates me to watch a really good figure skater. Sliding down hills has a thrill all of its own. I think there is a no more pleasing sport than a group of young- sters on a sliding spree. The wind whipping at my face brings the color to my cheeks and excitement to my blood. All of these sports have their slight casualties, when one happens, merry making is forgotten, for the time be- ing, but if the person or persons are not seriously injured we soon start in where we left off. Yes, winter time is my favorite time of the year. CLYDE BODGE '53 SISTERS' RIVALS Today is Saturday and I have worked for hours trying to clean my room. I put a clean linen stand cloth with lacy edges on the bureau and arranged everything to suit my own taste. All my books and magazines were stacked neatly in a pile in my little stand on which I kept my phono- graph and records. My clothes, which -had been strewn all over the room, were washed, cleaned and pressed and hung neatly in my closet. After stepping back and viewing the beautiful job I had done, I decided my room wouldn t need to be cleaned again until next Saturday. I knew I just wouldn't find time with so many things going ong especially if this week should be any- thing like the last. Tonight, the night I had been wait- ing for all week, had finally arrived and I was going with Rickey to a movie. Afterwards we would go to J erry's Soda Shop to 'have a soda and a friendly chat with some of our friends. I had put on my yellow pique dress which Rickey liked so well, and was just coming down the stairs when I heard a knock on the door. I thought to myself, that must be Rickey. I hope the kids behave themselves un- til he has gone. You see, I have twin sisters who are four and four brothers whose ages range from three to eleven. Just as I came to the door I stopped short, for there before me were the whole works surrounding Rickey and asking him questions that, I'm sure, no children would ask except, of course, my twin sisters and my brothers. Are you Susie's boy friend? asked Johnney. She thinks you're the best looking boy in the Senior class. I know, because I heard her say so myself. Of course he is, said Jack. Can't 'cha tell by his biack curly hair and his turned up nose. Don't you re- member? That's what Susie said she liked best about him. All the time the twins were look- ing ong their eyes as big as saucers. You'd think they were looking at a big rabbit or something. Well, I had stood about enough! By that time my face was scarlet and I could tell that Rickey was blushing too. You boys go right up to bed! I cried. Mother had just entered the room and asked me what was Wrong. What's wrong? I said. Can't you guess? What wouldn't be wrong with them around! Well, I could tell that Rickey was getting very uneasy, so we said good- bye to my mother and left. Oh I felt terrible. No one knows how bad I felt. All the time while walking to the movies I kept wonder- ing what Rickey thought of my brothers and sisters. I knew my mother would have put them to bed if she hadn't been busy sewing a dress for me to wear to the dance this Saturday. Rickey was going to take me but I bet he wished he hadn't asked me now. Oh, if only- Susie, did you hear what I said? Oh, I'm sorry Rickey. I guess I wasn't listening. You know those little brothers and sisters of yours are really some- thing special. They did put me in an embarrassing position, but it was worth it just to hear those cute ques- tions they asked. I don't think I've ever seen such sweet little tykes as those twins are. You know, I wish I had some brothers and sisters. I'm the only one in the family and I've always wanted brothers and sisters. Since I haven't any, maybe I could come and see you more often. I think that was the most perfect evening I ever had. When I got to my room and turned on the light I hardly noticed what had happened to the room-powder that was emptied all over the bureau, the lipstick that was used to draw pictures on my mirror, and the magazines that were strewn on the floor. Who cares! Tomorrow I can clean my room again. I think I've got the best little brothers and sisters in the world. JEAN WEAVER '52 YOUNG AND FOOLISH The clpck at the town hall was striking twelve midnight. Marcia was up out of her pajamas and into her beige suit. She must hurry it was a long way from the Breckinridge home to the harbor. Dick had been on the battlefield about five months now but he was getting an honorable discharge, due to a leg wound he received while he was in action. She had received a letter telling her to be at the harbor at twelve that night, when his ship would arrive and they would elope and go any where she desired and get married. This had sounded very romantic and easy. She was all through dressing now and was going downstairsg tip-toe- ing through the kitchen and then into the garage, where her smart maroon coupe, received on her birthday, was parked. It was a good thing her folks were sound sleepers, they never heard a thing once they were asleep. She always had a guilty feeling when keeping a secret rendezvous with Dick as she adored her parents and they gave her everything a girl at the foolish age of 17 could crave for. In other words, her slightest wish was their command. Of course, Marcia appreciated all this but she still loved Dick Malone. Her parents disap- proved of Dick because he was the son of the biggest gambler in New York City. He was even suspected of having been connected with some of the robberies that had been committed in the city. Marcia said that Dick was not going to be like his father and let things go at that. One day when Marcia spoke to her mother in an in- direct way about marrying Dick Malone, her mother became very up- set and was confined to bed for weeks. Parents were all that way, Marcia thought, they all want to hold on to their children all their lives. They would think differently after she and Dick had a nice home and were happy. After all that was all her folks wanted wasn't it-her happiness? Upon arriving at the harbor she could see neither light nor ship. She got out of the car and ran to the dock, where she could hear people talking excitedly as if something might have happened. The cool September breeze brushed her long, blonde hair softly against her pink cheeks. She was a very beautiful girl especially when she was excited. When she reached the dock she asked a peculiar looking old fellow who wasn't engaged in any conversation why the ship was not in the harbor. His answer was brief but polite, well ma'am it seems there was a storm out there on the ocean and the boat was delayed a bit but its due any minute now. A startled sensation ran over every inch of her body. For a few seconds she had been frightened at the thought that his ship might have been wrecked and that he had been killed. After fifteen minutes of im- patient waiting she felt tiny specks of rain continually coming down on her face. She decided to go and wait for Dick in the car. One full hour had elapsed before she heard the lonely whistle and could see the lights faint- ly through the rain spattered wind- shield and the thick fog. When the ship finally anchored, Marcia ran to the dock. She couldn't mistake the tall, muscular form with anyone else in the crowd. After a long embrace they went to the car. He told her how much he missed her but that he thought it would be wiser to wait a short time before they eloped, so that he would have time to earn extra spending money for their honeymoon. Marcia covered her dis- appointment by agreeing to his plan. When this conversation had come to an end, they had reached Dick's place. After a brief goodnight Marcia continued homeg parked the car in the garage and tip-toed to bed. The next day when Marcia re- turned from her 'daily errand, she said, Mom, I saw Dick at the drug store a few minutes ago and he asked me to go to the movies with him and I said yesg because it's his first night home and I couldn't refuse him. You won't mind will you Mom? Oh Marcia, you know Dad and I don't want you to see Dick. He just isn't good company or influence for you. ' It's just to see a movie Mom and I'll be in right after the show-please Mom. Well, all right, but this will be the only time you will see Dick Ma- lone for a long time. There are a lot of other nicer boys than he is who are anxious to take you out. That evening the Breckinridges' were dining when the telephone rang. In a flash, Marcia was at the phone. Hello-yes, this is she speaking- oh hello Dick, yes-oh that's a shame -well all right Dick good-by. His father would have to have a job , as he put it, for him to do on his first night home. The next morning while her mother was drinking coffee, Marcia was reading the paper and all at once she exclaimed, this is preposterous! It can't be! There must be some mis- take! Anybody but Dick. You're right Mom he isn't any good. Marcia-what on earth? Marcia was kneeling by her mother now, showing her the headlines be- tween tears. Her mother read the headlines, MALONE AND SON CAUGHT ESCAPING WITH 1,000, 000 dollars. And to think I nearly married him, Marcia cried. Her mother placed a consoling hand on her daughter's head, there, there now baby, it's all over and no harm came to you, dear, and that's all that matters. , It's too bad all the young girls don't learn that their parents are right before they make a mistake. IRENE DAMBOISE '52 A GHOULISH NIGHT One dark, bleak night as I was walking home from a party I saw a glow of light coming from the hill to my left. I struck out toward the light and half an hour later I came to a clearing. In the center of the clearing stood an evil looking person with long gray hair, deep set eyes, long finger nails-that looked like claws-and a shrill voice-like that of a bat's. I stood there wanting to run but so horrified that I couldn't move, I stood there looking on in amazement. Sitting in a semi-circle around this person were at least a dozen people with a glassy stare in their eyes. They sat there motionless-as if hypnotized-listening to their leader who said, This is the last meeting we shall holdg after tonight you all are destined to roam the earth looking for souls to turn into beings like our- selves. The others gave a weird cheer and appeared glad of the opportunity thus accorded them. I made a move to go, just as I turned a twig snapped under the weight of my foot, I had hoped that no one had heard the noise, I stopped to see if anyone was following me, nobody was in sight. I started out again. As I turned I came face to face with an unearthly looking figure which took me buy the arm and led me to the center of the circle, he said, f'This human being has wit- nessed one of our ceremonies, we must dispose of him or turn him into one of us. We shall now commit him to the chairman of human soul con- versions. ' With that, a loud cheer went up from those in the circleg one of the shapes stepped forward and stared into my eyes, as he did, he spoke as in a trance words which I couldn't understand, my head seemed to grow larger, circles appeared in front of my eyes. I got dizzy and then, when it seemed as though I would fall apart -I woke up. What a horrible nighmare! I was tangled in the blankets, cold sweat dripped from my brow. After a while I went back to sleep and slept the rest of the night very peacefully. GEORGE C. SAWYER '52 FK c ti Q C IUC U l If L I QW9 S 6 S Front row, left to right: J.

At these meetings we discuss vari- ous things that are brought before the council by different representa- tives of the classes. One of the major projects of the council this year has been to put into effect a new type of athletic award system. The proceeds of this year's maga- zine contest added to those earned last year were sufiicient to purchase the electric score board for the gym- nasium. The Student Council ne- gotiated this purchase and we are now the proud possessors of an up- to-date score board. One of the major duties of the council is to operate the school store. The funds from this store help to finance the athletic program. The main objective of the council has been to improve school spirit by encouraging students to take part in extra-curricular activities. We hope that next year the Student Council will continue our program, contributing time and effort for the advancement of our wonderful Com- munity High School. A.

The performance solved many mysteries formed in the minds of underclassmen during the time we were practicing for the play. No one could understand why Polly McNamara had been going around with about five pieces of bubble gum in her mouth and continually blowing bubbles as big as balloons. fshe had special permission from Mr. MacLaughlin to practice upj. It had been rumored that Blake Bartlett, of all people was going feminine, when someone saw him dressed in lady's clothes during a rehearsal, and Shir- ley Kirk had suddenly acquired the name of The Siren . These pieces were finally put to- gether when the Big Night ar- rived at last and Shirley Kirk played the Siren who lured Jim fBlake Bart- lettj the brains of the football team, into doing most anything from steal- ing a prize chrysanthemum to paint- ing the door of a rival high school. With the help of his pal Blimp f.Phil Cunninghamj, Gussie CPolly Mc- Namarab, Petey t Herman Thibo- deauh, and much worrying on the part of other members of the cast, Jim was finally pulled away from the rocks without much bloodshed, and Susie became a reformed Siren.

On November 22, 1950 we were initiated by the members of Junior Classical League of 1950. The hands of all the Freshmen were bound with red crepe paper and we were told that this was a symbol of our servi- tude. A short play was given by the Junior Classical League of 1950 which was entertaining and told us some- thing about Rome and ancient times. After the play, the crepe paper was removed from the slaves' hands and they received their Junior Classical League pins and membership cer- tificates. December 21, 1950, a Christmas program was presented by the Junior Classical League which was attended by parents and a few students. The program was as follows: I. The Roman Saturnalia. Connie Anderson. II. Carols in Latin. 1. Silens Nox-Silent Night. 2. Laetitic Mundo-Hark the Herald Angels Sing. 3. O Parvum Oppedum Beth- lehem-Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem. III.

We are looking forward to other activities, such as a Roman banquet and an evening with famous Romans. - JEAN SUTHERLAND Front row, left to right: M. St. Peter, Miss Lord, J. MacNally, P.

These girls accompanied the boys to the games at Limestone, Mapleton, Easton, Van Buren, and Island Falls, where their enthusiastic support 7 spurred the team on and won for the girls much praise. As those who have participated know, cheerleading is an art, a Well timed combination of action, cheer- ing, and zest in which perfection is diflicult to attain.

WINTER SPORTS TEAM Ashland Community High School's winter sports team completed a very successful season on March 3, by win- ning the county meet, at Presque Isle. At the county meet in Presque Isle, only five of the winter sports boys participated because of the fiu epidemic. ' The Ashland boys took three first placesg Eddie Ouelette placed first in cross-country and downhill, and Everett Cowett placed first in the slalom. The team competed in six meets during the season and emerged vic- toriously from all but one of them, which was the state meet at Andover, Maine. The team placed fifth in this meet, which coach Mr. Porter thought was good considering the competition the team had. The team won the Ashland Carni- val, the Limestone Carnival, the Caribou Carnival, the Fort Kent Carnival and the County meet. Although basketball conflicted with some of the practice sessions, it didn't stop the team from showing it's winter sports ability. The team should do well next year although five members, Phillip Cun- ningham, Eddie Ouelette, Albert Searway, Blake Bartlett and Roger Michaud, are lost through graduation. Members of this year's team who will be back next year are: Everett Cowett, Alfred Cowett, Eugene Ouel- ette, Peter Casey, Hazen Searway, Dayton St. Peter, Frankie Allen, Carl Hews and Jimmy Bartlett. The results of the meets were as follows: ASHLAND CARNIVAL Ashland-49, F. Fairfield-15, P. I. -13, F. Kent-7, Houlton--3, Lime- stone-1, Easton-0. LIMESTONE CARNIVAL Ashland-38, Limestone-12, Bridge- water-2. CARIBOU CARNIVAL Ashland - 28M2, Madawaska - 25, Caribou--22, F. Fairfield-HW, Presque Isle-10, Limestone-5.

CROSS COUNTRY During the first week of school thirteen men reported to Mr. Porter, the cross-country coach. At the end of the three week period a team which was the best the school has ever had began to take shape. Ed Ouelette and Floyd St. .Peter fought it out for Hrst and second on the team. Bub Searway ran third with Dayton St. Peter and Alfred Cowett fourth and fifth respectively. Gene Ouelette, Hazen Searway, Frank Allen, Everett Cowett, and Hollis Reed were other boys who stayed out for the whole season. In the first meet of the season P. I. defeated the Ashland team by a two point margin 26-28, on Oct. 13. In the second meet of the season on Oct. 20, the Annual Eastern Maine Meet was held at the University of Maine. The team placed fifth with Floyd St. Peter placing ninth in a field of 25 runners. The next week the Ashland team journeyed to the U. of M. where we took on a fast freshman team. P. I. entered the meet the last minute making it a triangular affair. The Ashland team showed a lot of balance and strength but was unable to de- feat either the freshman or the Presque Isle team, even though it was a very close race. At P. I. on Oct. 30th Ashland finished second in the Aroostook County Meet being barely edged out by Presque Isle. Floyd St. Peter and Ed Ouelette finished second and third in this meet with the other boys showing well also. The curtain rang down on Cross Country for the season. On November 2, when 16 high schools participated in the annual, Interscholastic State Meet at Orono. Showing great im- provement over our team in previous state meets, the boys captured sixth place being edged out by only one team from Western Maine-Portland. The other five teams had previously defeated us in the Eastern Maine Meet. Coach Porter looks ahead to an- other successful season next fall with five veterans returning. Front row, left to right: F.

BASKETBALL The Ashland Community High School basketball team did very well this season considering the short time it has been in existence. The team was in the league this year and gave some of the other teams a hard rub. The Ashland team won one league game this season, and that was a win over the league winners, Bridgewater. However, the team was more success- ful in non-league games and ended up with a 7-14 record. One of the team's largest difficulties was ,the lack of height, with only one player on the varsity squad being over six feet. Under the coaching of Donald Buck- ley the team has improved a great deal in the past year. Although we shall lose nine players by graduation, coach Buckley looks forward to a good team next year. The forwards for the varsity team this year were Philip Cunningham and Albert Searway who saw action in every game, with Floyd St. Peter and George Pike as substitutes. Roger Michaud, the star of the team play- ing center this season, scored about 400 points, which was very good for the 22 games played. Guards who saw a lot of action were Reginald Moun- tain, Blake Bartlett, Frank Langille and Carlton Jimmo. The J-V's did well this season and surprised many teams by defeating them. J-V's who saw much action on the squad were Everett Cowett, Teddy Rand, Carl Hews, Roger Grant, Ed- ward Ouelette, Herman Thibodeau, Carrol Mountain, and Stanley Snow- man. The students and townspeople sup- ported our team exceptionally well by filling our gymnasium many times. I hope that these people will do as well or even better .next year.

About 20 girls reported for basket- ball practice last fall under the coaching of Mrs. Dearborn. The girls played 10 games during the season and won 5 of them, which was very good for the experience the girls have had. Although five of the girls are lost by graduation the team hopes to do better next year. The team had fairly good height this year with Laura Sawyer and Jean Weaver, all tall, playing the guard position. Other guards were Barbara Searway, Joyce Reed, Vivi- an White, Dawn Cameron and Maud Lafland. The starting forwards were: Polly McNamara, Fay Soucier, and Shir- ley Kirk, who saw much action in almost every game. Other forwards were: Dawn Mac- Intosh, Ann Sutherland, Sylvia Car- ney, Barbara Weaver, Esther Page and Marie O'C1air.

After a couple weeks of practice they jour- neyed to Easton, where they lost their first game 19 to 12. The girls won two of the five games, which was not outstanding, but they showed good form in every game. Coach Mrs. Dearborn says we will have a better team next year as the girls are improving. The players lost by graduation last year were: Gloria Wright, Ruth Walker, and Lizzy Cote. Some of the players who will be back with the team this year are: Faye Soucier, Polly MacNa- mara, Betty Jo MacNamara, Dawn Cameron, Shirley Kirk, Joyce Reed, Gretchen Nadeau, Helen Hews, Marion St. Peter, Marilyn Bartlett, and Jean Weaver. BOYS' BASEBALL Ashland High School's 1950 base- ball team got off to a good start last season b-y winning four straight games. After defeating every team in the league the first of the season they slowed down and lost their last four games. They ended up with a 4-4 record in the Aroostook Central League, and a 4-7 loss record for the season. The team should do well this year as only two members were lost due to graduation. Those two were Carleton MacLain, and Ralph Chase, both were pitchers on the team. Coach Donald Buckley hopes to have more freshmen and sophomores go- ing out for baseball this season as well as those from the upper classes which will include Phil Cunningham, Floyd St. Peter, Albert Searway, Roger Michaud, Frank Langille, Carlton Jimmo, George Pike, and Carl Hews, Last fall someone brought up the idea of playing fall baseball and some of the players seemed very en- thusiastic as Coach Buckley got a team together and had a few prac- tices. They played two games, both with Mapleton, and lost each by one point. Although they lost both games they showed the mark of a good team this spring. The schedule for the spring of 1950 was as follows: fSpringJ Ashland 10 Easton 9 Ashland 8 Limestone 7 Ashland 10 At Mapleton 8 Ashland 3 Bridgewater 2 Ashland 4 Washburn 5 Ashland 9 Town Team 14 Ashland 7 At Easton 8 Ashland 3 At Limestone 9 Ashland 5 At Bridgewater 18 Ashland 6 At Mapleton 7 Ashland 7 Washburn 9 Won 4 Lost 7 fFallJ At Ashland 15 Mapleton 16 Ashland 7 Mapleton 8 TRACK In the spring of 1950 a large group of boys reported to Mr. Porter for their first practice following the Easter vacation. On Wednesday May 15, the Ash- land team entertained Fort Kent and Easton in its first meet. Ashland was an easy winner with Carleton Mac- Lain starring the sprints. Ralph Chase also showed up well in the weights with several younger boys showing much promise. On May 21 the team went to Fort Fairfield where it scored an easy vic- tory in the Aroostook Central League meet. Several new records were set. MacLain set a new 880 yard record. Michaud set a new 440 yard record and one for the 100 yard dash, Chase bettered the shot-put record for the meet. June 4th found the team journey- ing to Waterville where the boys took part in the State Meet. The team finished fourth with 19 points. Mac- -Lain took 1st in the half-mile and second in the mile: Chase took fourth in the shot-putg Frank Langille took third in the discus and Michaud placed in the 440 and 220 yard sprints. The greatest victory of all was scored at Houlton when the Ashland team won the County Championship at the Ricker Invitational College Meet. Q Michaud, MacLain, Cunningham, Chase, and Langille were the out- standing competitors in the meet with the team winning easily over five other small schools. Fourteen men won their letters in track. Of them, only two were lost to graduation, so the team is looking forward to another successful season. SCHOOL CALENDAR August 28, 1950 Back to school for another year, and it seems that our vacation just started. We see many new faces among us, especially new members of the faculty. Miss Lord is our new Home Ec. teacher, and I might add that probably many of the boys will want to take Home Ec. Mr. Grant is going to teach our new Commercial Course, and Mr. Cook is our new eighth grade teacher. September 15, 1950 Oh, oh, here comes potato picking. We'll all soon be rubbing our backs and realizing that mental work is less strenuous than physical work. October 9, 1950 Back to school once more and every- one seems to have acquired a glorious tan in the potato field. All the boys are going around with sad faces, I wonder why? Oh, I bet I know. Miss Lord got engaged during vacation, and is wearing a beautiful diamond. November 2, 1.950 Our track team traveled to Orono to take part in the State Meet today. They did very well, placing seventh with seventeen teams competing. Norember 8, 1950 We welcomed Bob Sprague back again today. With an entertaining hour of Mr. Sprague's antics, our magazine drive began. The high salesman QI should say woman! proved to be Connie Anderson, a member of the enterprising Fresh- man Class. November 10, 1950 Everyone looked twice when they saw a Freshman today. They looked as if they hadn't had time to dress as they wore pajamas or night gowns with various concoctions over them. But it was all only because the Sopho- mores were behind them. December 14, 1950 This has been an eventful day for the Seniors. Mysteries of things such as crysanthemums, red paint, sirens, and bubble gum were all straightened out when tonight the Seniors pre- sented their play, Susie the Siren. December 23, 1950 Just two days before Xmas, and everyone is glad that vacation starts tomorrow. January 20, 1951 For the first time in several years, Ashland was the scene of a high school winter carnival. Several towns took part in the winter sports meet, in which Ashland was victorious. Tonight the gym, decorated in winter wonderland finery, was the scene of the Carnival Ball. Barbara West was chosen Carnival Queen from a group of eight lovely girls. February 17, 1951 Here comes our vacation, and well do we need it after nine weeks exams. February 25, 1951 Back to school again. It doesn't seem possible that our school year is over half gone. Mairch 8, 1951 Jackson-White made their appear- ance today to take group pictures. Our numbers have been temporarily cut down by the flu epidemic, so sev- eral faces will be absent in the photos. March 20, 1951 We didn't realize we would be hav- ing another vacation so soon. School has been closed since March 8, be- cause so many were sick with the flu. March 27, 1.951 Several members of the Junior Class displayed their talent tonight in the Junior Prize Speaking Con- test. Barbara Searway won first prize with her selection Tipping Off Teacher. Carolyn Currie was sec- ond with her The Lady from the Sea , and Dayton St. Peter won third prize with Going Fishing. March, 29, 1951 The Seniors won the One-Act Play Contest with their comedy entitled Mr. Vincent , directed by Mrs. Til- ley. Members of the winning cast were Shirley Kirk, Blake Bartlett, Phil Cunningham, Laura Sawyer, Polly MacNamara, Hazel Garrity, and Dick Rafford. April 6, 1951 This has been a big day for the Juniors. The gym was decorated in gala fashion for the Junior Pr-om. The undependable April Showers kept many from attending, but those who were there rated it one of the best dances of the year. HONORS OUR HALL OF FAME Carolyn Currie, with her dramatic selection, The Lady from the Sea , by Hendrick Ibson, and Rodney Bol- stridge with his oration, A Way of Life by Chauncy Faye, were chosen to represent the school at the Spear Speaking Contest held at Presque Isle. Dawn Cameron was chosen by the faculty as the D. A. R. candidate from A. C. H. S. Requirements that served as a basis for selection were dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Ashland High School still holds the title! For the third straight year we are the Aroostook County Champ- ions. This year our winter sports team has added four new trophies to our collection. They won the Ashland, Limestone, Caribou, and Fort Kent Winter carnivals by quite a margin. This year the Student Council spon- sored' a contest for composing the best school song. Roger Michaud and Betty Howe tied for the winning place, with a combination of their two songs. The tune of the song is Our Director's March . The words are on the back cover. I find that some of the members of our faculty have earned a prom- inent place in Our Hall of Fame. Mr. MacLaughlin is one of the four delegates elected for the Rep- resentative Assembly of the Maine Teachers' Association.. Mrs. Rose Tilley is the president of the Presque Isle branch of the American Association of University Women. On March 24, Mr. .Porter was one of the judges at a Science Fair held at Presque Isle.
