Life's gold we seek, but more we prize Great wisdom's gem divine, Beyond the fairest ruby's worth E'er found in earthly mine. Chorus We've reached the brow of Highschool Hill And now our paths divideg No longer shall we journey on, Companions sideby side. And yet we do not really partg Our goal is still the same: By different paths we seek the Best In Bangor High School's name. 2 We seek for honor among meng We seek for hope and joyg We seek true service to our kind, Delight Without alloyg We seek for blessings new to deck- Our country's loved sodg We seek to gain the love of men And win the praise of God.

There is a great difference between these two modes of livingg be- tween these two types of personsg between Push and Pull. VVhen you are on the side of life marked Pull you are in a rut waiting to be pulled out. Get out of that rut! Be- come a Pusher. It's up to you! Perma- nent promotion does not come to the worker who relies on his friends and in- side helps. It is a welcome condition brought on by self-development and hard, conscientious work. A Pusher grows! Be a Pusher! Grow greater! W'hen a man first goes out into the world he holds his future in the palm of his hand. How his future shall be molded, how it shall develop depends upon whether he will rely on himself and his capabilities or whether he will look toward the other fellow to get behind him and shove! There will come a time when the other fellow will grow tired. Rely on yourself! Start right! The man who is wide-awake and alive is the man who reaches the uppermost rounds of the ladder of life first. The man who stays on top is the man who pushed himself up and not the man who was pulled. Any- body may be full of energy and spirit while he is being pulled to Success but it is a real man, pushing himself to the top by Push, who bobs up smiling and bobs higher every time he loses a coveted position on the 84 THE ORACLE ladder. It takes considerable nerve and grit to weather the storms of disappoint- ment and it takes a sticker, a plugger, a worker, to see the silver lining of every cloud, to find in each loss a stepping stone to greater gains. Every person begins to live his own life with the same possibilities as his neighbor. How many are there who have made these possibilities positive facts? There are as many as there are successful men! Your possibilities are vast and in order to secure the happiness and good fortune they contain you must grow greater. To grow greater it is not positively necessary to increase your wealth and possessions but it is a cer- tainty that yourself and your ideals must be enlarged. The test of your greatness will not be what you are doing but how you are doing it. Success never harbors a shirker. Do your allotted work and look for more! Life holds for each one a position. N0 matter where this position is, it belongs to you. The one redeeming feature in this arrangement is that by dint of loyal, hard work you are able to mold yourself not only for this position but also for one higher up. To go higher should be the ambition and ultimate objective of every man. You wish to be promoted, to arise to a better station in life. You would like to climb to loftier hights on the ladder of life. You want to grow greater. The fulfillment of these desires lies wholly within yourself. Your position in life depends on you! You promote yourself! But are you pushing yourself up or are you being pulled? It's Up to You! H. N. A few years ago an excellent little book was written, pertaining, as the name im- plies, to the difficulties met by The the prospective college student. College The author, James H. Caufield, studetft at present librarian of Columbia And He College, and formerly president Problems of Ohio State University, has, through his lifelong contact with all classes of college boys and girls, been enabled to instill into his work a personal touch which renders the book vastly more readable and at the same time exposes the trials and tribulationsl' in a manner easy to grasp. The first chapter deals with that ever interesting and much discussed topic, Why Go to College P The author then advances a step further in The Choice of a College and from there continues in a discussion on course. The the selection of the proper next chapters deal with the fateful first year, fraternities, athletics and other college chapters go enterprises. The remaining into more or less detail concerning the proper choice of electives and other prob- lems often occurring as stumbling blocks to puzzle the fellow who wants to get on. On the whole we think it is a splendid book to be chewed and digested, to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention, not only by fellows just entering college but also by those already within the mighty and mysterious portals, and by those to whom another year or so of preparation remains. With the present issue, Volume Twenty- nine of the Oracle is complete. During the year the Board has worked hard to exceed, if possible, the former standards of the paper. The 1920-21 Oracle Board will now say its farewell, leaving behind it another which, we hope, will continue the good work of im- provement. We now wish to join the hearty thanks of the Board with those of the readers for the generous aid given by the literary and joke contributors during the past year and desire to solicit a con- tinuation of this help for the coming years in order to make the Oracle a bigger, bet- ter, brighter paper than ever before.

By LeRoy A. Campbell, '22 NDE, ubi, quo! the graduate LL.: mused in a perplexed frame of mind as he climbed the last few steps of the stone stairway that U led to what he fancied, more must be answer? from presentiment than fact, a terrible tribunal. How can I Already my mind is so full of the 'quo' that the 'ubi' seems distorted and col- lapsible, while the 'unde' passes before my dim, muddled vision like the Heeting shadow of a happy 'olim.' i' By this time the poor graduate reached the last step of the hard winding stairs, somewhat shaky and out of breath from the difficult climb and not at all at ease as to the outcomeuof things ahead. Before going on he began to look himself over to see how well he had weathered the climb, for truly he had had a hard time of it. He had climbed almost to the first land- ing before he became aware that it was an extraordinary stairway, lined with all kinds of things ranging from lowest and easiest to highest and most difficult. And the winged pests he had had to contend with, too! In his mad frenzy to drive them away he had mangled a great number of them on his clothes and consequently their ugly, disgraceful marks were indelibly traced on his best attire. At the end of the second landing he had plucked without much trouble twenty-one of the easiest 'signa', and, by brushing aside the pests for a moment now and then, he had by ac- cident grappled eight of the easy 'signa', two of the difficult 'signa', and by the man who chanced along, he had managed to pluck one most difficult 'signum'. Half way up to the third landing he had suddenly awakened to the fact that one of the most difficult 'signa' was worth far more than those of lesser grade. Thus, hereiat the fourth and last landing he decided to count over his trophies. Seating himself upon a soft cushioned chair nearby he emptied from his Pockets all his hastily and unsystematically gather- ed signa and began to take stock. Out of the entire number he found less than ten most difficultsf' He then proceeded to examine one which proved to be a large en- graving of most exquisite delineation in the form of the second letter of fate. But on second look he noticed that its beauty was seriously marred by the mangled carcass of one of the numerous pests which he had caged among the trophies. Looking still more closely he observed that the remains had traced an outline over the face ofthe other that resembled the first letter of fate He was about to examine the more easily obtained trophies, when he suddenly dis- covered that he was no longer at the head of the stairs. The chair with its occupant, had been moving noiselessly through a narrow winding corridor from which nu- merous doors opened into other passage- ways. More startling still was that strange phrase over each door, Unde? Ubi? Quo P ' Now the chair had taken a sudden turn 80 THE ORACLE and he found himself entering a large gate- way over which was the one word, Unde P and just under it the direction Da responsa in hoc loco. A moment later the chair stopped before the resplendent throne of a stern appearing judge. That worthy personage pronounced in a stern tone, Responde vere, unde es P Oh, worthy judge, the graduate re- plied, if it is from whence I am that you ask, I can tell you briefly. After I finished my career in the little red gammar school I entered the treadmill of higher education and after a long hard climb up through that labyrinth of trophies and pests some- how I found myself brought within your castle gate. Nonne plura dicis? Itaque, tibi non plura de te dicere licetg i statim ! the stern judge pronounced as he placed a sealed parchment in the hands of the poor gradu- ate. Again the chair began to move through another long corridor like the first until it came to another gateway over which was the one lone word, Ubi? A moment later he faced another judge who was well at- tended cum servis. At a nod from the judge one of the ser- vants took from his hands the parchment and translated aloud: O Kindred judge! I find that this fellow answers the 'unde' well. He also has well filled pockets from which I judge he should answer the 'ubi' well. Vale. At a nod from the judge several servants began to search his pockets for the trophies. These they carried to their master who gave them a long, careful examination. Af- ter this was finished he dictated many words to a scribe near by, who proceeded to write all on a parchment and seal it care- fully. On the outside it bore the label, Responsum ad ubi. Again the chair began to move with its occupant until at the end of another winding corridor it stopped before the royal throne of the third and last judge named, Fatum. Behind the throne was a large folding door over which was written the one interroga- tive word, Quo just then the folding door began to draw apart and behind he beheld a hundred other doors all in a row, varying from small and cramped dimensions at the left to large and magnificent at the right. While contemplating all the glories of such a start upon life, one of the many at- tendants of the judge drew near and took from his hand the parchment which con- tained the messages of both the former judges. After the judge had read the first he turned to the second and carefully perused its contents. Then, after a mo- ment's hesitation he selected a long roll, wrote rapidly for many minutes and handed it to his chief attendant. He, with several others, drew near the graduate and before the latter knew what had happened they had blindfolded him, pushed him toward the row of doors and in a moment had closed one of them upon him. The blindfold im- mediately fell from his eyes and he found himself perplexed to know which door he had entered. After he had wandered some distance along the passage way, which ever grew wider, he suddenly discovered the sealed roll in his inside pocket. He quickly broke the seal and read: Unde? -you have come from a good standard high school with all the advan- tages of the century. Ubi? -where you are was deter- mined by the trophies which you brought. Out of them all there were less than ten A's, a few more B's and a large number of C's and D's, and worse still, the carcasses of several F's were squeezed in among the A's and B's. Quo? -doubtless you are fairly upon your way. Make the best of itg for you are entering the door that you deserve. For- tuna tecum. The graduate slowly repeated, I tread the pathway I deserve.

Hodgman. y OR over one hundred years, the Lapierre family had been famous in the North Country. From I K V' the mouth of the St. Lawrence they had been known south- min- ward, and from the head waters of the St. John's to the mouth of the Penob- scot, the name of Lapierre had meant won- derful drivers, wonderful lumbermen, and wonderful guides. For deeds of reckless daring and nerve testing skill, the Lapierres had achieved a reputation which still lives,--yet the last of the Lapierres was Francois, a dirty, cringing, watery-eyed Frenchman, a cookee, and a joke to every man in the Great Woods. It is indeed pitiful to think of it. From a family noted for their bravery and skill with an axe, or with a pickpole, to the joke of the lumber camps and the drives, a dirty, cringing, watery-eyed Frenchman at whom the men laughed with much scorn, and at whom the small boys along the river jeered.

River drivers around their glowing campfires would tell of the time when Henri Lapierre tried what no man had ever tried before,- to run the rapids at the Devil's Mile, and then they, too, would contrast it by telling of the fool, Francois. It was a glorious spring morning when my story opens, a morning when the river shone as a kingly sapphire floating majes- tically toward the sea, a morning when the Great VVoods made one fairly tearful they were so breathlessly beautiful, the green banks of the Penobscot seemed a setting of swaying emerald for the flashing river of blue. But the laboring men did not notice this wonderful beauty. They came stum- bling down the rocky carry trail, three tired boat crews, carrying on their weary shoul- ders three heavy bateauxg three boat crews nearly exhausted from the terrible labor RUTH CLOUGIPI EDWARD CITRRAN junior Exhibition junior Exhibition MEDAL WINNERS CLASS OF 1921 LESLIE BOWLER MII4DREIj OSBQRNE Gfilduiltiou ESSHY Graduation Essay THE ORACLE. 89 who were destined to see a man defy an unconquered river and save a man who by all laws of rationality should have drowned. At last the end of the carry was reached and in silence the bateaux were pushed into the waiting river. An Exchange Street Yankee was the first to speak. Straighen- ing his weary back, he turned a disgusted face toward Francois Lapierre, to growl, Aw, what's tha use o'puttin' this air boat in tha water, the Devil's Mile's only a little way down tha river,-let's carry the darn thing an' be done with it. But, non, said Francois, I tink dat dat ees good idea. Oh, ya don't, eh? replied the tired Yankee. Well, ain't that too bad, now? Maybe you think we like it, too. Well, you're mistaken, but then most o' us ain't Lapierres, an' most o' us don't run rapids like Henri. I notice you ain't much of an exception yaself. I wish t' goodness you'd run the Mile so's we wouldn't have to carry! Mais, non, m'sieu, answered Francois, me no like rapids. They heap wet. And the Devil's Mile surely was wet. From the large white rock situated in the center of the river at the beginning of the rapids, to the pool below the Devi1's Leap, the mighty river hurled itself forward like a maddened monster, yellow foaming water as though propelled by an unseen hand, rushed down a long, terrible mile until it spurted into space on waiting rocks below. A mile in which a terrified river raged un- conquerable, swirling, leaping, tumbling, racing over cursing black rocks and boul- ders,-such was the Devi1's Mile, the most famous rapids in the North Country. At this season of the year a man was usually stationed on the Devil's Eye, as the large rock at the beginning of the rapids was called, to prevent the logs from jam- ming. At this point the water began to How faster, small swirling eddies could be seen, whirling their way toward the raging death further on, small white islands of dewy foam resembling fairy ships, drifted gaily toward destruction, the huge logs raced one another to see which would finish the mad dash through the rapids first. The man could be seen as the bateaux approached, a tall, round-shouldered, weather beaten P. I., watching the nearing boats with joy, for their coming meant that his weary work was over, and he could continue with the men down the river. Two of the bateaux went ashore for the carry, while the third continued on to the rock to get the P. I.,- and then the accident occurred. It's strange how it happened, strange that as the bateau came alongside the rock, the man should slip and fall, be snatched by the waiting current and carried out of reach, strange that a Lapierre should be there to watch a man drown without trying to save him. Francois sprang up on to the rock, and stood there, his watery eyes staring at the drowning man, who through the mists of the rapids, could be seen struggling for his life. Francois' eyes slowly began to brighten, his pale cheeks were knotted by the fierceness with which his teeth were set, his body which before had shrank at the sight of rapids, slowly began to straighten, and turning his white face upward, he breathed a prayer to his watching God. Then he wheeled quickly, his face suddenly radiant, and laughed at the Yankee and the two Indians in the bateau, as the Lapierres laughed when danger faced them,- Ha, ha, sacre! Maybe you tink dat a Lapierre is 'fraidi' I scared? Mais, non, m'sieu. But you scared, you scared of Pe- nobscot. I tink dat we go after him. I show you l A quick shove, the current lifts the four men in the boat forward, and into the mists of the Devi1's Mile dashes the bateau, At the rear crouches a man, laughing with joyous glee as the river tries to destroy him 40 THE ORACLE and the men with him. At times he half rises, and in order to avoid some enormous rock plunges his paddle into the raging water, swings the racing boat half around with his mighty strength. In the whirlpools of the Sugar Bowl, they find the P. I., who has pulled himself onto a rock near the center of the river. Like a leaping monster, the bateau makes for the rock. Prepare for to git heem, snapped the man in the rear. You Indian, grab! The bateau darts back into the treacherous channel, but the drowning man is torn from the Indian's grasp by the shock. Francois Lapierre sees it, and throwing himself far out, he grabs the man with one hand as the bateau rushes past him, and yanks him into the boat! What a man, gasps the Yankee, while out of the Sugar Bowl into the sunlight, dashes the bateau. Downvthe Henri Lapierre Sluice into the sunlight again. Through the Bear Cave, on and on! Among the cursing rocks of the Quarry, into the screen of the Jackknife Bend, where the river swerves to the right, on and on! Four men -against the Penobscot, four men against the madness of the Devil's Mile, four men fighting for their lives with the roar of the falls warning them that they must face it. Now into the smooth water just before the Leap, then waiting a brief second as though choosing a landing place, the bateau leaps into space. Down, down, among the rocks under the falls half filled with water, yet guided by a hand blessed by God, the bateau drifts ashore. The Lapierres were once more famous in the North Country!

Who are you, and whom do you tell to 'be afar off? I cried. VVho I am you should know, and those that I bid to be afar off are your profane thoughts, thoughts that dare to disregard the beauty of the world and to deny the worth of life itself, came the stern reply. Well,-as for my thoughts, they seem to have obeyed you, I said in a dazed tone, for I no longer have them, but who you are- Have you never heard, said this strange being, that 'there is nothing Qand NO ONEQ, that the mind of man can conceive that is not already existent in a world un- seen ?' And do you 'not know that the dwellers in this unseen world can at will be- come visible to the men of earth? Or is this, perchance, too much for you of the twentieth century to believe ?-you who find it easily credible that a soul may pass the boundaries of the realm of death-those boundaries that none may recross-and then return to converse with those on earth. Too surprised to even resent the scorn in her voice, I gazed at her. Then, finally, the conjecture which I had considered too ridiculous to express being strengthened by her words, I stammered, A-Are you the sibyl that Virgil tells about?

I sawfyour fears and I came to banish them, for it is not pleasing to me that the human mind should destroy its own dignity by such weakness. Cla-a-ank-Bang! I turned with a start just in time to see a horse bearing a strange looking rider in full armor jump the ditch at the opposite side of the road. As the horse jumped, the rider was jolted violently in the saddle, thus occasioning the clash of armor which attracted my attention. not a moment, but This rider paused pressing more firmly on his head the sort of tin basin which he wore as a helmet, he drew a sword. Then, shouting, Fear not, fair maid, I will rescue thee, he charged madly at a thick bank of fog that for some time had been rolling nearer. just then the sun came out brightly, so that as my doughty knight reached the cloud of mist it dissolved into thin air. Whereupon my rescuer galloped back to me and, attempting apparently to spring lightly from his horse, tumbled in a heap on the ground.

Coming toward me, however, was the tall form of a man. I did not need to look at that grave, pale face, with its clear-cut features, or at the mass of waving black hair, to be sure of this man's identity. One glance at those glowing, magnetic black eyes was enough to convince me. But one of the characters I know and love has ever been able to give me quite the feeling I had then. Involuntarily I uttered his name, The Count of Monte Cristo ! You are right, said the man. At my first sight of the count the thought had fiashed into my mind that from this man if from anyone I might learn the meaning of this remarkable experience. Quickly now I burst out, You who have always seemed to those about you to be the very epitome oflhuman wisdom, tell me what this all means. Is it real, or- I stopped in confusion.

How do you recognize it? questioned the Count. Why-by the impression it makes, or rather by the influence it has. And who are some of the people who have most strongly influenced your life ? Ben Hur, Sydney Carton, Keats, and Shelley, William of Orange, Abraham Lin- coln, and Robin Hood and Henry Van Dyke and- I stopped suddenly. I had certainly mixed the real and the so-called imaginary well together in my list. It seems to me, said the Count, that you have answered your own question. You ask me, he continued, what it all means. I can tell you only this. We who have come to you today, as well as hosts of others are your friends, and the friends of all in your world who love us. We have made our way into your world by speaking to the brain of some great man and forcing him to write our story. He, as a rule, in his conceit, thought that the words that flowed from his pen were his own, when in reality he was but an instrument in our hands. There are evil beings in our realm as well as good, but here, just as in your world, evil can win but temporary triumphs. Those of us who are evil have been forced by the One who rules your realm and ours to enter your world as warnings to youg We who are, on the whole, good, have been allowed to enter that we might be your friends. Accept us as such. We shall always be at hand when you need help as you did today. And now, goodby. You must hasten to join your companions who have passed you on the hill. This last advice I give to you. I have told all who know me that all human wisdom lies in the words, 'wait and hope.' To these I would add one other, BE- LIEVE. He gave me a strong, friendly handclasp and turned away. And with courage and hope in my heart, I started to- ward the summit of Highschool Hill. THE VISION OF THE IDEAL By W. Sawyer, '2l. r HE chief use of any man or woman to the world is the in- fluence of his or her aspiration. Not achievements alone can de- termine a man's value to us, but the vision of the ideal which he has and gives to us in words, on canvas, in marble tecture. In the towers of Westminster Abbey at London, and in St. Paul's Cathedral, the greatest church ever built in England for Protestant worship, Sir Christopher Wren wrought out his ideal of beauty, strength and permanency. In our Congressional Library at Washington we see the archi- tect's vision of purity, symmetry and N1 T and in stately piles of archi- grandeur in stone. Back in the fifteenth century a huge block of marble, eighteen feet long, lay outside the cathedral at Florence. One sculptor had hacked at it and nearly spoiled it. Out of it Michael Angelo,aman of deep spirit- ual insight, carved his David. The Sis- tine chapel stands as a memorial to his genius for expressing the ideal of beauty in colors. Its frescoes are still the wonder and admiration of the world. But the greatest of all painters was Raphael, called The Divine. His sub- jects are mainly religious and his vision of purity and feeling has never been excelled. The poet Browning has the artist's de- light in beauty. He believed this world Oracle Board, l 920:21 The Senate THE ORACLE 45 was a great training school, a place where, souls are developed, a prelude and a prepa- ration for a life hereafter. Earth changes but thy soul and God stand sure. The most important thing in life, therefore, is neither pain nor pleasure, it is the soul and the use of its experiences. So Browning teaches us to prize all experiences, joy, sor- row, aspiration, and the moments of intense feelings,-for in these we, too,'have our mount of vision and our souls learn to breathe a purer air. Besides Browning, we may cite Ruskin who says, Your rank as a living creature is determined by the height and breadth of your love. The purpose of his writing was to esablish truer and nobler ideals of living. He taught men and women to love truth and to hate shams. Through his long life he never lost his love of beauty and his zest for righteousness. Every great movement, every wonderful work is a dream and democracy was in- volved to make these dreams come true. Our Republic is founded on the ideals of our Pilgrim fathers. Woodrow Wilson is a confirmed idealist, expressing a nation of long repressed idealists-in nothing else is there any possible explanation of his record of amazing achievements. All these men stand before us as teachers and examples of men of large vision, but the greatest example and teacher was born two thousand years ago in the little town of Bethlehem. His vision was clear and He would easily find the answer to any prob- lem or trial set before Him. He carved a way and made it possible for everyone who possesses faith and loves truth to turn his thoughts inward and to decide his line of conduct. If He is our ideal our success in life is assured. THE IDEAL SCHOOL MAGAZINE By Harlan E. ROBABLY all schools have teams which represent them in various kinds of athletic games, As a general rule, the student is interested in all these branches of athletics. This is very bene- iicial as it tends to increase his interest in the whole school, or, in other words, it pro- duces a loyal school spirit. Yet, it is a rather sad fact that there are but few students who have an equal interest in their school magazine. For the most part, students do not regard their publica- tion as an important part of school life. In reality, however, the ideal school magazine, as one representative of the school is some- thing of which any student might well be proud. Now, one might ask, what are the requisites of such a magazine? In the first place, support from the stu- dent body is needed. There are plenty of opportunities offered the student to show his backing. He can help the finances by s.1rl r, A- 'ar' ' A i --, MJ . 5 ,J fu.. -Jfwc.. Atherton, '21. subscribing himself and, perhaps, by secur- ing other subscriptions. He can contribute personal jokes, a local item, information about an alumnus, a story, or other things needed. It is certainly true that whole- hearted interest and encouragement from the students is a very great help to the edi- tors. Next, an energetic and loyal editorial board is essential. Being the heart of the publication, this group must comprise members, who with unselfish purpose co- operate with one another in the task of making their school known broadcast by the standard of its magazine. BTO do this, each editor should always be on the alert for some way in which he can improve his own departent, and, as a consequence, the whole magazine. For the third requisite one might mention interesting contents, which should be di- vided into well edited departments. Some good up-to-the-minute editorials, a literary 46 THE ORACLE department replete with stories snappy and interesting, but of literary value, a section of personal and original jokes, and a de- partment of local school items comprise the parts of the magazine in which students are commonly the most interested. In addi- tion, alumni, exchange, athletic, and per- haps debating, departments, are important for completing the magazine, even though they may not be quite as interesting to the pupil and reader. Some schools might re- quire even other sections, but those men- tioned above are the main ones. In addition to these three requisites an attractive form and appearance of the entire magazine is a necessity. An artistic cover for the outside, appropriate cuts and head- ings for the various departments, and addi- tional cuts and cartoons for other places in the school's publication help to achieve this desired appearance of attractiveness. Fur- thermore, the form of the contents is kept attractive by placing all the advertisements together, either in the first or last pages of the magazine, thus avoiding any breaks in the departments. Therefore, a school magazine to be ideal, should have interesting contents, an at- tractive form and appearance, a loyal and earnest editorial board, and support from the students. It is essentially true that the conscientious group of editors and the body of students lending support, interest, and encouragement, are more important than the quality of the contents or the attractive form of the finished product. For surely, if a magazine has the former, the latter are bound to result, forming an ideal magazine which furnishes interest, enjoyment, and benefit to the entire school, consisting of teachers and pupils, and to the public, con- sisting of alumni and casual readers. THE MEDDLER By Ivy Gregory, '21, DON'T believe in meddling un- less it's strictly necessary, said Mrs. Forbes, smiling in a su- perior way across the breakfast table at her daughter, Flossie. - 1 But when it's my own brother, in danger and helpless, I feel justified in taking a hand in the matter. Flossie blinked thoughfully at her mother's rosy, determined face. She knew how to discount Mrs. Forbes' extrava- gant phrases, but she never had learned how to argue or protest successfully with the elder woman even when convinced that the matter was open to argument or pro- test. There was her own case, for instance. Had she ever been able to cross the line drawn by her mother? The line that ef- fectually kept her from the social freedom and pleasure for which her expanding spirit yearned. You're a mere child yet, Mrs. Forbes would say. There's plenty of time Q32 .pm f F-ff, A 11 11 .J-T439 M KX 3 4.3 for you to grow wise and worldly. I can't lose my little girl so soon. But in spite of all precautions, Flossie in her own way was growing wise and worldly as time passed. She was beginning to ap- praise her attractive mother's whims, vani- ties and coquetries, and to realize why Mrs. Forbes clung so persistently to the idea of not losing her little girl so soon. How do you know Uncle Avery isn't doing just what he wants to do, Mother? she asked. And I think Miss Ackerman is lovely. Cf course you do. And of course she is-in her right place. Well, I'm going to save him from his last folly if I can. Mrs. Forbes' lips drew in a firm, straight line and her brows lowered. Avery's a scholar, a scientist and a real old bachelor. Clare Ackerman, with her butterfiy airs, has drawn him away from his studies, but it is only a passing fancy. You said Miss Ackerman is twenty- 1920-21 Orchestra, 48 THE ORACLE eight, reminded Flossie, to whom twenty- eight seemed an age of sober maturity, yet she regarded Miss Clare Ackerman, with her butterfly airs, as her ideal of brilliant young womanhood. And Uncle Avery's only- Be still, child. You don't know any- thing about it. Mrs. Forbes looked re- Hectively across the luxuriant garden. I have an idea, and that's what I meant when I spoke of meddling. Avery has glorified this very worldly young woman, and if he should see her in her true colors, he would be disillusined. So I have invited her here with a few others for a little visit, and among them Mr. Claude Davis. Oh, Mr. Claude Davis! exclaimed Flor- ence, clasping her hands. Mrs. Forbes laughed mirthfully. Ex- actly, even you know of his reputation as one of the brilliant ornaments of society. They will be well matched-Claude and Clare, and no doubt we shall see a pretty little powder puff battle. Dear me, Mother. You do use such funny terms. I suppose you mean Miss Ackerman and Mr. Davis will act terribly and disgust poor Uncle Avery. I'm glad we're going to have a houseful of company, anyway, chirped Flossie, and she went from the breakfast room to inspect the con- tents of her wardrobe. Mrs. Forbes' invited guests came in due time and made themselves very much at home in Avery Mull's handsome suburban residence. Dashing Claude Davis and the bewitching Miss Ackerman immediately established their right to the reputation so- ciety had given them. A In her delightful watch over the manoeuvres of these two merry guests, Mrs. Forbes forgot everything else, except to draw her brother's attention to Clare Ackerman's frivolities and her uniitness to grace a dignihed position outside her own whirling circle. 'I'hey're so well matched those two, she would remark. Both heart-breakers-I wonder what damage they'll do now. Several days passed, and some of the guests had gone. Mrs. Forbes, going into the living room in the early evening found it deserted, but outside in the moonlight, a figure, which she recognized as Claude Davis, crossed the lighted space and dis- appeared behind the rose shrubbery. Close beside him was the flutter of pale draperies. Mrs. Forbes thought that it must be Clare Ackerman because they had been singing together just before that. Mrs. Forbes cautiously trailed along the garden paths, her black net gown merging into the night shadows. Ahead of her was a Hutter of pale draperiesg but as she paused beside a tiny leaf-screened arbor, she heard a familiar voice thrilled with consternation. Avery, you are very good not to doubt me. Clare Ackerman's silvery laugh rip- pled out of the shadows. But you see Mr. Davis' attention to me onfly covered his real feelings, but a man of his type could never interest me. It took you to do that, Avery. Mrs. Forbes moved unsteadily to the end of the garden path and confronted the pair who sat on a moonlight flooded stone bench. Flossiel Her voice was dramatically accusing. I wish you to return to the house with me. But Claude was on his feet making his most courtly bow. So glad you came, Mrs. Forbes. For of course, Flossie and I can't settle affairs without you. Settle affairs l gasped Mrs. Forbes. I mean-perhaps I should say, start affairs. Mr. Davis laughed richly. I want to marry your daughter, Mrs. Forbes. Flossie is my ideal- a true ingenue, un- spoiled by the world. We were just talk- ing it over, and we expect to marry, in proper time, of course, with your per- mission, Mrs. Forbes. Mother, don't you meddle, advised THE ORACLE 49 Flossie, sweetlyg but there was a new like a warning. Mrs. Forbes gave her con- strength in her speech that made it sound sent and blessing. THE PANAMA CANAL By Ralph Plummer, '2l. rv-. 1 TREATY between the United States and Panama was signed November 18, 1903, providing for the construction and mainte- nance of an interoceanic canal. Under the treaty the United States guaranteed the independence of the republic of Panama. Panama granted to the United States i y the use, oc- cupation, and control of a zone called the Canal Zone, live miles wide on each side of the canal route and within the zone the ex- clusive control for olice, judicial and sani- tary purposes. e citjis of Panama and Colon do not come it in the grant but the United States has c plete jurisdiction in both me dries anqfi their harbors in all gy i'hn'l 1 Q r.. hat relates to sliiita ion and quarantine. For these cciicessions the United States paid Panama ten million dollars on the rati- fication of the treaty, 1904, and will pay two hundred fifty thousand dollars annually, be- ginning nine years after exchange of rati- iications. X Actual work was begun on the canal in june, 1904, under a civil commission, with J. F. 'Wallace as chief engineer. Wallace had to overcome many difficulties and al- though he is severely criticised much credit should be given him. The sanitary condi- tions were of the worst when he arrived but he succeeded in making a decided improve- ment over them. The commission was re- organized in April, 1905, and in june Wal- lace was succeeded by john F. Stevens. The first steam shovel was installed under his regime and before he left nine were working. From his administration dates much of the good work done in the organi- zation of the Commissary and Subsistence Department and the development of the railroad. Stevens resigned in 1907 and the work was carried on by Colonel G. VV. Goethals. It is to Goethals that the success of the canal project is largely due, not alone from an engineering point of view, but be- cause of his skill in dealing with an army of forty thousand workmen speaking forty-five languages. The canal from deep water in the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific is about fifty miles in length and connects the cities of Colon and Panama. It has six locks, three at Gatun on the Atlantic side and three on the Pacific side-one at Pedro Miguel and two at Mirafiores. The thirty-one and one- half miles of canal between Gatun and Pedro Miguel are from eighty-two to eighty-seven feet above sea level. VfAt Gatun a dam seven thousand two hun- dred feet long confines the waters of Gatiin Lake and forms a jfeservoir for receiving the floods of the Cl agres and other rivers and supplies water .or lockage. ' The dam is two thousand feet wide at its base, one hundred feet widey at the top and rises one hundred fifteen ffzet above the sea level. Between Gatun ,find the Caribbean a space one thousand feet in width forms a waiting basin for ships. -After passing Cratun the channel for sixteen miles is about one thou- sand feet wide, narrows to three hundred feet through Culebra cut, a distance of nine mjgles, and widens again to five hundred feet, maintaining this width until it reaches the ocean. The cutting at Culebra was the most diffi- cult part of the excavation owing to the earth slides with which the engineers had to contend. A smaller dam at Pedro Miguel contains a lock which lowers the ships to the surface of Lake Mirafiores. One and a half miles farther on the canal descends fifty-five feet to the level of the O.

The ofhcial da ehof the opening of the canal was january 1, 1915. The formal opening was celebrated by the Panama Pacific In- ternational Exposition held' at San Fran- cisco in 1915. The canal shortens the sea journey be- tween New York and the west coast of the United States by over eight thousand miles, it shortens the voyage from New York to Valparaiso by four thousand miles. The Spanish-American war showed the need of this cut and stirred the Americans to open a gateway between the two seas. The cost of construction of the Panama canal was approximately four hundred million dollars. Besides this is the money the United States had to pay Panama. This makes an enormous bill for such a project but nevertheless it has been proved that it was a success financially as well as a valu- able asset in time of war. It may well be said that the construction of the Panama canal was the greatest engineering feat in the history of humanity. THE PASSING OF WILSON By Robert Haskell, '2l. 'A f--1 OOXDROW Wilson now belongs to history.

He has pla ed a leading role in the greatest crisis of V ig no just ap- prizement of,l1i-sfdiaracter, no air decision as to hieficess or failure, is p ssible at t-hfigme.

It is compelling, almost tragic, this story of VVilson's autocratic rule. His neutrality of nineteen fifteen and sixteen, while he was struggling to bring about some conference which would give the world a Peace with- out Victory, making of no avail the sacri- fices of the brave men who hadjdied on the battlefields of France, is as illuminating evi- dence of his true character as his re-election on the hypocritical slogan, He kept us out of War. N., , , 4 In the Fall of nineteen sixteen, but was loudly proclaiming, America has no concern with the objects and causes of the war, a1sd..is-not-even interested to ,ex- plore its obscure fountains. Yet less than six months had passed before he had de- clared war against Germany and character- ized the causes of the Allies as that of hu- manity itself. Having thrust the United States into a conflict such as was never witnessed, Presi- dent Wilson immediately gained the con- fidence of the Allied nations and inspired the Allied statesmen that by his masterful mind he would lead their armies to victory. He directed the training and transporting of millions of our men and placed them in the front line trenches when the Allied commanders admitted that they were fight- ing with their backs to the wall. He suc- ceeded in impregnating the very souls of our Allies with the faith that the world would be safe for democracy once the com- mon enemy was crushed. I-Ie instilled in the citizens of our own country a moral de- termination to win the War more potent than men or arms. The arrival of American Infantry in France, division after division, proved to be the turning point of the war. The morale of the Germans was weakening, 52 THE ORACLE France and England were inspired by a new confidence and the German armies were slowly being driven back in one great of- fensive. Out of this new order of things came VVoodrow NYilson's opportunity to perpetu- ate his name in history, and he was not slow in grasping' it. The l'resident's first step in this direction was his famous Fourteen Points, obscure, and, so far as being a basis for any international agreement, worthless. Contrary to every precedent, President NVilson chose to represent America at the Peace Conference in Paris. He even re- fused to surround himself with fairminded and sagacious advisers, and undertook the Herculean task alone and unaided, with no plan or outline. llis stubborn idealism failed miserably before the superior states- manship of Lloyd George and Clemenceau. Returning to the United States from Paris. he still posed as a conqueror, andy with assured confidence, submitted the covenant, forced Q into the Peace Treaty against the wishesi of .A his liuropean asso- ciates, to the Senate. The re-Volutionary covenant was rejected. Vklhen has an American l'resident been visited with a like humiliation? Wlith the failure of America to stand be- hind their l'resident, the whole world seemed to lose its trust in NVilson. By his lofty ideals he promised the world great things, but he failed to match actions with his words, and, harsh as it may be, it ap- pears likely that history will summarize XYoodrow XYilson by saying that he saw every problmem only as it affected his own prestige, Girls' Basket Ball Team MECHANIC ARTS DEPARTMENT ' just what is the Technical Course of Bangor High accomplishing? With its complete equipment of machinery and tools, and the high standard of its instructors, which together make 'the Mechanic Arts Department one of the Hnest among New England preparatory schools, it is im- possible to place one's linger directly upon the most beneficial result. Beginning in the woodworking department upon the simplest sort of tool work, carried over from the several years of preparation in the grammar grades, the advanced in- struction is taken up step by step in gradual and logical degrees, dwelling upon each phase of the work a suflicient length of time to insure the best results in the future. The ability of the student to think for him- self, to concentrate upon his work, and to develop ideas of his own is thus exercised, forming for the future, liner, sturdier, more level headed, and resourceful citizens of ability. At the same time the boy is learning thoroughly the basis of that line of me- chanic science which will forever find a place for itself in the lives of men. Taken from a financial standpoint, the Mechanic Arts Department would certainly never be one of those frills proposed to be cut outf' During the past year the followers of this section of the school curriculum have taken charge of almost the entire amount of inside repair work done on the school buildings, resulting in a great saving to the city. Above are prints showing sections of the Department's shops and also a sample of the work done by the Department for Ban- gor machine workers. The company for which this work was made, eager to pat- ronize and promote an infant industry so beneficial to Bangor in general, willingly supplied the materials in such quantity as needed if the school would produce a mar- ketable product. In this way approxi- mately S200 has been saved to the city. Stlmn, Nix L .isefifffiz ff' iii? va f T- ---' frfffufffssfs:--ffmvw 73,097 Yesterday and Today and Forever. ' ' The long summer vacation has arrived at last, ahnost before we realized it. To the Seniors this year will have been one of happy memoriesg to the Freshmen, just a beginning of happier ones to followg and to us all the years spent in Bangor High School will be looked back upon in later years as, perhaps, the happiest years of our lives. One morning after Assembly, Dr. Phil- brick of the Castine Normal School, spoke to the Senior girls about the necessity of taking up the work of teaching. He said that there was a shortage of teachers all over the country and that teaching was one of tl1e most important vocations of today. Early in May, the Seniors held an election for graduation parts and class prophesies. The results were as follows: GRADUATION PARTS. Parting Address .......... Edward Curran Class History. . . . .Rosemary Allen Class History ........... Crosby Hodgman Prophesies: Classical Course ........... Dorothy Smith Technical Course. . . . . .james Doherty Scientiiic Course .... ..Arthur Dennis Commercial Course ........ Denis Murphy General and industrial. .Gertrude Kearney The Senior Commercials voted in May to have Miss Valentine Kenney give the ex- amination for the gold medal in Shorthand and Typewriting, and to have her correct and judge the papers. In May the Seniors voted for the word Forward as their class motto. Although the motto contains only one word, it is a word which has a great deal of n1eani11g. Pure, rich ice cream is now made by the girls of the Domestic Science Department, with the aid of an electric freezer. The large sale of ice cream cones in the lunch room proves that the girls can make ice cream as well as they can cook. On May 13, Mrs. Boutelle and Mrs. Cole, both nurses in Bangor, talked to the junior and Senior girls in regard to nursing. They told of the fascinating work and of the joy in serving others. They said that the Eastern Maine General Hospital offered splendid opportunities for training and that it was the only hospital i11 Maine which was ranked in Class A. Miss Fannie Robinson, head of the Mathematic department of the school, has recently been appointed as a reader of the College Entrance Board Examinations re- ceived in New York from all parts of the country. As Bangor High School has never been represented before, it is consid- ered quite an honor to be able to send a teacher from this school this year. GIRLS' DEBATING SOCIETY. The last regular meeting of the Girls' Debating Society was held May ll. Two lively debates were carried on, the first, Resolved, That the Domestic Science 56 THE ORACLE Course is More Advantageous for Girls Than the Classical Course, was upheld on the affirmative by Helen Fowle, on the negative by Louise Ayer. After witty re- buttal the question was open to discussion by the members. The second, Resolved, That Every Per- son Should Learn to Swimf' was upheld by Zula Shorey for negative. Her opponent, Marion Stanchfield, being absent, the ques- tion was open for discussion. As Miss Shorey brought in many sharp points, the question proved to be a Very interesting de- bate. At this meeting the election of officers was held, those elected for the year 1922 were: President-Blanche Bowden. Vice President-Mildred McGarrigle. Secretary-Miriam Bunker. Treasurer-Helen Fowle. Plans were made for the banquet for both of the boys' and the girls' societies. A committee of three, Miss Cooper, Miss Stanchfield, and Miss Bowden, was chosen to confer with the boys. SENIOR PLAY. Fanny and the Servant Problem, was successfully presented in Assembly Hall, May 25, under the competent direction of Miss Hope Buxton. Gerard Collins made an impressive hero, managing his monocle in a masterly way. Grace Bowen and Rosemary Allen were the lovely aunties of seventy or more. The heroine, a former music hall singer, who finds that as wife of Lord Bantock, she is to be surrounded by twenty-three of her near relatives as family servants, was well acted by Lovis Sawyer. Arnott Soderberg was an engaging fashion- able physician. The chorus girls were a lively crew, while their manager, imper- sonated by Clyde Swett, was lifelike, in- deed, the sight of his waistcoat alone was worth the price of admission. The Bennet family all did well, stiff men, maids and matrons, but perhaps the stars of the group were Edward Curran as the butler, and Har- old Mosher as chore boy. The way Harold let his mouth drop open when he was sur- prised, and fell over his feet when he enter- ed or left the room, captured the audience. A good sum was realized from the per- formance, part of which will be used to purchase a memorial gift for John Frawley, former president of the class, who died be- fore the close of his High school course. TEACHERS' COLUMN. VVhat shall we teachers do all summer? We shall ask ourselves this each morning, sometime between seven-thirty and eight o'clock, I am sure. We shall miss our fre- quent admonitions for silence, the signing of permits, and many other small things which serve to make up the day. How- ever, there are those among our number who intend to keep themselves well em- ployed during the summer months. Mr. Proctor and Mr. Trickey, with-the aid of Miss Driscoll, will try and solve the prob- lem of accommodating the entering class of next fall, which will be larger than ever before. Miss Bernice Dunning, Miss Anna McSkimmon, and possibly Miss Mary Web- ster, will find their time well filled during the summer term at Columbia University. Miss Madeline Robinson will represent her sorority at a convention held in Syracuse, New York. Miss' Vivian Skinner, Miss Mary Utecht, Miss Emily Poseland, Miss Harriet Sweetser, Miss Elsie Junkins, Miss Jennison, Mr. Cecil Mcllroy, Miss Floyd, Miss Melvina Parker and Miss Hope Bux- ton will visit their homes during the sum- mer. The rest of us will remain at home and seize whatever opportunity of enliven- ment the holidays may offer. In the mean- time we hope our youthful protegees, one and all, those who are leaving us and those who have just come to us, will enjoy every moment of the beautiful summer season. fi f .NL k :rg A f 1 - Q ,U 'DFW' : lb A Y ' ilk xlll 1 'W 1 -ln i -Q : 'I' in .nw iv We Only Part to Meet Again. .ll lip .

Woods of Seattle, Wash., a former Bangor resident and director of the Bangor Band. The selection is entitled, The Golf Girl, and possesses the catchy melody and mili- tary air that have been the characteristics of Mr. Woods' compositions since he began writing as a young man in this city. Mr. Woods for a number of years has been pro- prietor of a music store in Seattle, but he has continued his band work and is band- master of the Nile Temple band of the Mystic Shrine. The engagement of Miss Doris Field, '10, to Mr. E. A. Wagner of Gardiner, was re- cently announced. Miss Field, after gradu- ating from B. H. S. attended Wheaton College. Paul White, formerly of Bangor, has re- cently scored another success in Cincinnati. At the season's closing concert of the Cin- cinnati Symphony Orchestra Paul White's newest composition, Feuilles Symphoni- ques, was introduced. 'One report speaks of the work as follows: His composition is a highly meritorious work, symphonic in character and full of fine thematic ma- terial.

During the past winter Mr. Cayting has played with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, to which position he will return in the fall. A recent announcement of interest is the marriage intentions of Miss Dorothy Doe and Charles Hicks, both of this city. Miss Doe is a graduate of '18, and while attend- ing High School she took an active part in all musical affairs of the school. Since graduating she has become a prominent iig- ure in musical Bangor, accompanying the Festival Chorus. On Granger evening of the last Festival she played with Mr. Granger. Mr. Hicks is also very musical, and both play in the Hicks orchestra. Mr. Frank Stacy and Miss Marjorie Sar- gent were united in marriage at the resi- dence of the bride's parents. Miss Sargent was of the class of '18 and after graduating she worked in the Cost department of the Eastern Mfg. Co. and was one of the most efficient and popular stenographers of the company. The couple has taken residence in Dover, where the groom is employed by his father. The marriage of Donald Valentine, '18, to Miss Annie Bird took place at the home of the bride, April 20th, in Fredericton, N. B. They are residing in this city, where Mr. Valentine is employed at the Eastern Grain Co.

The Reserve Officers' Training Corps was organized under authority of the act of Congress of june 3, 1916, as amended by the acts of Congress of Sept. S, 1916, and July 9, 1918. The object of the Reserve Officers' Train- ing Corps is to provide a method of sys- tematic military training at civil educa- tional institutions for the purpose of quali- fying students as reserve officers in the military forces of the United States. It is intended to attain this object by employing methods designed to fit students physically, mentally, and morally for pursuits of peace as well as war. It is believed that such training will aid in the development of bet- ter and more highly patriotic citizens. The R. O. T. C. has also an educational aim which it will try to fulfill by con- tributing new problems, applications, and equipment to schools and colleges. It is desired that the R. O. T. C. will make lead- ers of men in both military and civil life by teaching them the art of self control and placing them in command of others. Physical training forms an essential part of the military training at Bangor High School as well as at all the other schools and colleges located throughout the United States and in Porto Rico. The general policy of the War Depart- ment aims to give all students of the R. O. T. C. a thorough physical training, to in- culcate in them a respect for all lawful au- thority, to teach them the fundamentals of the military profession, leadership, and special knowledge needed in the military service. Through the efforts of many school and city officials, Bangor High School was en- abled to have an R. O. T. C. unit dating from April, 1919. In September, 1920, the beginning of the past school year, Lieut. Colonel C. W. Cole, U. S. A., was sent here as the Professor of Military Science and Tactics and assumed charge of R. Q. T. C. work. Shortly after Sergeants Luther Beane and John F. Barrett, U. S. A., report- ed as assistants to Col. Cole. The work under this officer and these men has ad- vanced rapidly, the students having reached a degree of proficiency never before at- tained. Many improvements in the method of drilling have taken place, some of which have been adopted by various other schools throughout the United States. The indoor target backstop, designed by Lieut. Col. Cole, has met the approval and recom- mendation of many high military officials and has been used to great advantage in many other schools. Since the establishment of the R. O. T. C. unit here the membership has increased rapidly from year to year until it has reached a total of over 300 during the past year. This is one of the largest junior R. O. T. C. organizations in the New England THE ORACLE U States and Bangor High School may well be proud of the record for satisfactory work it has attained. During the past year much attention has been devoted to physical training. The men through this training have been better able to stand the tiresome work of studying and members of the battalion are often ahead of the other students in rank. Many military movements have been taken up and mastered by the students, through the untiring effort of the regular army and cadet officers. The rifle club has added greatly to the interest of its members and many excellent shots have been developed. Since the com- ing of warmer weather many members of the club have been using the outdoor range on Hammond street. On this range only the regulation U. S. army rifle and am- munition have been used. This year, as usual, the R. O. T. C. bat- talion has taken part in all parades and pub- lic demonstrations in which they have been asked to participate. The city officials, as well as the public, feel a deep appreciation of the public spirited feeling of the students and are more strongly behind anything that may be attempted by the R. O. T. C. unit than ever before. The past year seems to have been the critical period for the R. O. T. C., inasmuch as the members have been without the old wartime enthusiasm of previous years and they have not yet settled down to the steady but interesting peacetime routine. This has been true all over the country but con- sidering the amount of work that has been accomplished here, it would appear that we are gradually reaching that more contented state of mind. In conclusion, it is proper to state that the R. O. T. C. of Bangor High School has really accomplished excellent results under the guidance of the officers detailed here by the War Department and the city govern- ment may be justly proud and feel sure that their act in establishing this R. O. T. C. has been productive of fruitful results, which will improve with each passing day. H. E. WHITNEY, lst Lieutenant, Adjutant. On May 20, the R. O. T. C. held their annual Military ball. The affair held even more interest for its spectators than usual and was carried off with a great deal of splendor, the Auditorium being prettily decorated under the supervision of Sergeant Barrett. The first event consisted of a competitive drill between companies com- manded by Captains Humphrey, Collins, Hodgman, and McGary. Company C, un- der Captain Hodgman, was judged to be the best drilled company and was presented with a silver loving cup by the Chamber of Commerce. Next followed a competitive drill between picked squads from each com- pany and the members of the winning squad, under Corporal Jarvis, were pre- sented with medals supplied by the Rotary Club. The last event consisted of a drill in the manual of arms, in which the competi- tors were gradually eliminated down to Richard Wall, Louis Youngs, and George Noddin, who were also given medals pre- sented by the Rotary Club. After the drill followed dancing till onef with music by the O'Brien-O'Hara orchestra. On the whole the entire evening was a huge suc- cess both to enthusiastic lovers of military life and to the merely interested spec- tator. Q Y Z. 'ATH l 'iC The Love of Fame Gives an lmmense Stimulus. BASEBALL. After an interval of three years, Bangor lligh is again represented upon the dia- mond. Pledges were passed among the students the latter part of April and enough were signed to make baseball a success financially. Accordingly, Coach Trowell called for candidates the first of May and about thirty men turned out. The pros- pects for a good team are fine. Only one game has been played so far, and that game was lost by the High school. Cn May 6th, the Alumni defeated our team by a score of 5 to 4. The Alumni team was composed of several of the fastest semi-professional players in the vicinity, and the score shows that Bangor High must have some good material. The batteries were: For the High school, Thompson and McLeod, for the Alumni, Heal and Toole. A game with Orono Catholic High was scheduled for May 13th, but owing to rain it had to be postponed till a later date. The schedule which has been arranged by Manager Ulmer consists of games with Brewer High, Old Town High, Dexter High, Orono High, E. M. C. S., M. C. 1., H. C. I., and several other fast teams. Many good games are anticipated. BASKETBALL. On April 29th, the boys' basketball team and the girls' team played a game of bas- ketball in the High School gymnasium, the girls winning by a score of 10 to 8. The purpose of the game was the raising of funds to purchase sweaters for the mem- bers of the girls' team, and this was ac- complished. Ed McClay was elected captain of the basketball team for 1922 at a meeting of the letter men held May llth. TRACK. Much interest has been aroused by track this spring and it looks as though Bangor would be ably represented at the Bowdoin and Maine meets. An inter-class meet was held on Thurs- day, May 12, on Abbott Square. It proved to be a runaway for the Seniors but was nevertheless interesting. The score was: Seniors, 43, Juniors, 143 Sophomores, SQ Freshmen, 5.

Success is being friendly when another needs a friend, It,s in the cheery words you speak, not in the coins you lend, Success lies not alone in skill and deeds of daring great, It's in the roses that you plant beside your garden gate. Success is the way you walk the path of life each day, It's in the little things you do and in the things you say, Success is in the glad hello you give your fellow man, It's in the laughter of your home and all the joys you plan. Success is not in getting rich and rising high in fame, It's not alone in winning goals which all men hope to claim, It's in the man you are each day through happiness or care, It's in the cheery word you speak and in the smile you wear. Success is being big of heart and clean and broad of mind, It's being faithful to our friends, and to the stranger, kind, It's in the children whom you love, and all they learn from you, Success depends on character and every- thing you do. -Pauline Ames, '24, HOTEL RULES. Guests wishing to get up without being called, may have self-raising flour for' sup- per. Guests wishing to do a little driving will find hammer and nails in the closet. If the room gets too warm, open the win- dow and see the fire escape. If you're fond of athletics and like good jumping, lift up the mattress and see the bed spring. If your lamp goes out, take a feather out of the pillowg that's light enough for any room. Guests wishing to get up in the morning, must take a ladder to bed with them. Anyone troubled with nightmare will find a halter on the bedpost. Don't worry about paying your bill-the house is supported by the foundation. If you want to see a baseball game, look at the cracked pitcher on the wash stand. i -Ex. Mike: Say, Pat, what makes ye bald headed?

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations and in articulating your superficial senti- mentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your con- versational communications possess a clari- fied conciseness, a compacted comprehen- sivleness, a coalescent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all con- glomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejun babblement and affectations. Let your ex- temporaneous descantings and unpre- meditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious veracity without rhodomon- tade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolivity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity and vandiloquent vapidity. In other words, talk plainly, briefly, nat- urally, sensibly, purely and truthfully. Donit use slang, don't put on airs, say what you mean, mean what you sayg and above all, don't use big words.
