Belyea . . . In recognition of your superior work with the argiculture students and your sincere devotion to the-interests of all of us, we dedicate to you this issue of The Echoes of A.C.H.S. F b Welcome, graduate! On June 11th you cease to be a teen-ager and become a member of the adult community. What will your impact upon it be? ln short, so what? The world would be different, and you would be different from most people, if you make it your pledge to .stand for something. Most of you will not be statesmen or executives, and perhaps you think it is these, the big people in society whose decisions count. This is partly true, but in our democratic nation, leaders can lead only when people will follow, or when a majority of people dismiss public affairs with a shrug of the shoulders and say, What difference does my opinion make?,' It does make a difference. Right here in Ashland, the most powerful group of people in town affairs are those who do not attend town meeting, and who, by their absence permit anything to be done that is desired by those who do take an interest. These absentees are the most powerful because they are the most numerous. In clubs and social organizations all over America there is a great mass of people who are social zeros, who assume no leadership, accept no responsibilities, and with a shrug of the shoulders, even refuse to express any opinions. At best, this spineless silence makes it difficult for an organization to function, at worst, it creates the vacuum of indifference which makes possible the rise of corrupt politicians or dictators. You, graduate, will fulfill the hope that rests in you if, throughout your life, you will decide what you stand for, and speak out for it. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. eEMERSON Front row: Mr. Grant, Mr. deFrees, Mrs. Tilley, Mr. Fish, Mr. Torrey.

When it is over it is rather difficult to sum up what actually, your school means to you. ln the course of its history A.C.H.S. has devel- oped ideals, traditions and standards which are deeply respected by the students. These play an important part in forming a student's attitudes and in moulding his character. While in high school each one of us has begun weaving the pattern which will become that of our future. In order that we may weave well our pattern our school has made available, thread of the best quality, expert aid in selection of patterns and wise guidance in weaving. We are grateful. We feel that our school has given us that training for living which will make us contributing citizens of our country. Here then is our yearbook. We present the record of our life in the school of which we are so proud and which we hope is proud of us. by Evelyn Sylvester '55 LIBRARY If you walked into a dull and drab-looking school library containing only the essentials and lacking organization, would you get any inspiration to search for interesting material for a research article? Well, it seems as though the situation was just as bad as this last year at A.C.H.S. before the library club was organized. To make it easier and to bring more satisfac- tion to the pupils who use our library, a regular student library club has been organized. Their aim is to further interest in reading by making the library more attractive and to establish a well- organized system of filing. I am sure that the pupils of A.C.H.S. will agree that we now have an efficient and well-trained group of librarians who have been well familiarized with the filing and other facilities of the library. They have posted educational pictures on the walls, arranged special sections for pamphlets, reference books, etc., for the Problems of Democracy stu- dents. An excellent line of magazines has also been added. There are several types of enjoyable books other than reference books, which are available for leisure time reading. The library is not now a hectic and unbalanced room, but it is well organized and very efficient supplying references for our needs. l feel that tremendous improvement has been made and we should be proud. Let's keep it that way! by Pauline Davenport IMPROVEMENTS OF SCHOOL ELECTIONS Many outstanding improvements were made this year in school elections. These improvements per- tained for the most part to the election of Student Council members. The Student Council of last year nominated six candidates from each class, whose names were posted on the bulletin board. These candidates had a chance to refuse the nomination. lf they chose to run, the next step was to appoint a campaign manager. The campaign manager stated the candidate's qualifications and experience in clubs as an officer. Then the can- didate himself was given an opportunity to request support for his candidacy. Two representatives were then elected from each class. The class presidents automatically become members l of the Student Council. The elections of class officers were conducted in the same way. We consider this change a step forward and when the new system is fully established we believe all will agree that our elections are much improved. by Clairette Poitraw '55 ADULT EDUCATION Many older people have wished that they could take some of the courses which the high school students are now taking and which were not offered when they were in school. To satisfy this desire, an Adult Education Program was set up at A.C.H.S. this year. The program consists of weekly two-hour courses in Sewing and Typing. Sewing is taught on Monday night by Mrs. Byers with the enrollment of 25. Because of such large enrollment, 52, in typing, it is given on Monday and Thursday nights. Classes in Agriculture and English were also offered but were discontinued because of insuffi- cient attendance. Registration and the first classes were held on December 6th and have been continued every week since. The program has been very successful and, with the cooperation of the townspeople, will be continued next year. by Alice Bolstridge '55 Wheee!

Leslie Libby's Orchestrau donated their services for a Pre-Basketball Dance which was sponsored by the Student Council. The proceeds aided in purchasing a public address system which was installed in the gym. We donated 350.00 to the F.H.A. for redecorating and furnishing the teachers' room. With the help of the F.H.A., lunches were served to the basketball players after basketball games. The Student Council furnished the food needed and the Future Homemakers made and served the lunch. Other activities the Student Council have sponsored are: Q11 jukebox. l2j Selling season tickets for basketball games. Q31 Decorating school at Christmas. MJ Ping-pong tournaments.

A great event occurred this year in Ashland. The class of 1955 became Seniors. I am forced to admit the faculty didn't seem impressed, but at any rate, we arrived, looking forward to the pomp, pride and circumstance of the Senior year. Along with us came Mr. Libby and Mr. Torrey. I have heard rumors, but don't quote me, that they are not going to graduate. As I entered the School Building, our Home Ec Department was the brightest spot around. I noticed there were no boys lingering in the halls. As I progressed further on there was much excitement in the Home Ee room. The boys were trying to register for the Home Ec course. As I looked around I found the reason. The new bride, Mrs. Byers, was the teacher. To start the year off right, the Senior Class sponsored a Get Acquaintedv dance. At this dance we all got to know our faculty members and students. We noticed that Mr. deFrees arrived at school on time and wondering why, we kept an eye on him and discovered he had a car to depend upon, instead of the old Layfette. We also decided that maybe the new black top yard increased his speed. What happened to his old Layfette anyway? School was going along very smoothly when we discovered the hackbreaking task of picking potatoes had arrived once more. It wasn't long before we were rubbing our backs and realizing that mental work wasn't as strenuous as physical work. After four long, tedious weeks, we decided that we would welcome the sight of books and pencils once again. As a reminder of their recent toils, the Sophomores made the Freshmen wear potato sacks during initiation. The school really looked like a potato house with all the sacks milling around. The students decided they had a lot of time and energy, so to expend this they started a Camera Club and a French Club. Many entered these clubs which proved enjoyable and educational. The burdens of preparation for the Senior Play, Peck's Bad Boy, were upon us before we knew it. Endless hours of study and practice assured us that Ray's bad ways were only to bring out the best in his acting. Christmas vacation was just a week away, school closed so students could finish their shopping and enjoy the holidays. After Christmas, we came back to school to rest up from Christmas activities and shoveling snow. Mr. deFrees and his Junior English Class became interested in the talent they had to offer so began preparing for the play, I Remember Mama. The production of the play showed that the Juniors did have talent. We spent many of our long, cold winter evenings attending basketball games, using our lungs to no avail. The boys showed good sportsmanship. Midyear's that bane of all midnight oil-burning students cramming to get last minute reviewing finished before those long, gruesome, unnecessary tests. The winter will be long remembered for its weather-reams and gobs of snow-and when Carnival time came there was great excitement and confusion about who was taking whom to the Carnival Ball. For a while it looked as if everybody was dating nobody, but by the night of the ball most of the boys were tagging behind gorgeous new evening gowns. The Winter Sports events were won by the capable Ashland boys. Everett Walker showed his skill, thereby being honored as King of the Carnival. Janet West, a Senior, receiving the most votes of the evening was chosen Queen from a court of eight girls. Three one-act plays were given and Lady in a Cage was chosen to represent Ashland at the one-act play contest of the Aroostook Central League. Members of the Junior Class displayed their speaking abilities. Ten were chosen to represent the class: they were Sheldon Casey, Norman St. Peter, Earl Weaver, Corina Beaulier, Dianne Drew, Carlene Fleming, Sonja Reed, Chrystal Craig, Pat Pelletier and Evelyn Soucier. Social life gained impetus, and the Juniors, not to be outdone, experimented with the Junior Prom which was held May 13. And now after a long, hard winter comes spring, with exams, Senior Ball, Class Day, Graduation, the end. It's hard to believe that our days at Ashland Community High have ended. They have been such good days! We sincerely thank our faculty for being so kind to us, for understanding our problems, and for giving us such good advice. Most of all we thank them for teaching us so well what we needed so much to know. by Janice Searway CLASS OF 1952 TMSN Frank Allen, Jr. 44228 Hamton Block, Norfolk, Virginia James Bartlett U. S.
