Approximately 200 boys and girls will re- ceive Bangor High School Diplomas on June 19. What will these youths find in the world that they are about to enter? Which ones will be successful? These and other questions of a similar nature will haunt the minds of in- telligent young people for many a night. To follow in l7ad's footsteps is no longer the simple solution of the problem of one's life work. The youth of today finds his prob- lem prototyped in the upheavcl and painful adjustment following the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Over production and the enormous development along the lines of me- chanical devices have put many occupations in the same class as Silas Marner's weaving. Only those who can adapt themselves to new situations will survive the struggle for existence. Only those who have the vision to see ahead and prepare themselves for the trend of activities that will result from the present period of economic discord will achieve suc- cess. Who of this year's class will attain the lau- rels of success? They are those who determ- ine early in life some goal of achievement. They are those who believe that success is built upon failure-who, though they may fail at first, never grow faint-hearted. The three sinster words if, but and perhaps must not become part of the successful boy or girl's philosophy of life. lf means making an excuse for oneself be- fore the struggle for success begins. When one begins life with if, he is likely to explain at the end that he might have been successful if something hadn't happened. But builds up a fence between the man and the thing that he wants to reach. Whenabe says but, his whole body reacts unfavorable towards success. ' Perhaps means that one doesn't believe in his own plan. Surely if one docsn't believe in himself others won't. How many boys and girls have heard of the adage Honesty is the best policy? No man's life work can become a success without hon- esty. Of course he may, at first appear to be successful but sooner or later, the boy or girl, man or woman, who deviates from the path of honesty is found out and his mock success is boldly labeled failure before the eyes of his fellow men. Besides honesty, loyalty, sound judgment, and initiative must be reckoned as factors helpful to success. Loyalty to oneself and others is an absolute necessity in life because one cannot expect another to be loyal to him when he is about to double-cross his asso- ciates. Sound-judgement is the character which distinguishes the wise from the learned.

The Hope of Peace Third Honor Essay lda Rosen wave of dread seems to have swept over lduropeithe dread of a new great war. At the Williamstown Institute of Politics, distinguished speakers predicted a war that is certain to come under the iniquities of the Treaty of Versailles. There is no need to tell of the horrors of war. We know them. The VVorld War brought them home to us. Memories ol' that great war are still quite firmly emplanted in our minds. A generation ago the ambitions of imperial Germany were the greatest. single menace to World Peace. Today that role is played by France and its allies, and by Italy with its plans for combating France. ls World Peace, the most vital of all questions, slipping to the background? We most earnestly and desperately hope not! 'l'he most important object of organized society is to avoid the terrible scourge of war. Dis- ease, poverty, unemployment, and business depression are all stalking factors, but far worse than these is the devastating blight and horror of war. Peace is of paramount importance to us all. It has been the dream of many great men. It was the dream of Andrew Carnegie and the Peace Palace resulted. lt was the dream of the men who inet at Paris two years ago, and the Kellogg Pact eaine into being. The function of t-he peace movement is to protect the immediate future against war, and to save the world the sacrifice ot' another generation. Public opinion and sentiment should support every effor t put forth looking toward peace, and should make each effort an opportunity for great- er eoncentration upon the problem in general. Public opinion should require governments to eoncentrate their attention upon the peace problem before all others. The peace of the world must primarily be founded upon that which is infinitely higher than peace, f it must be founded upon justice. There can never be a real peace with out justice. George l'lliot said in Romola: that justice was like the kingdom of Godg it was not without us as a fact, it was within us as a great yearning. Justice is a great ideal, a great goal toward which the world struggles, so it is with the peace of the world. There must be insistence, whenever a plea for justice can be heardg and when justice is obtained in civilization, we are just so much nearer to a lasting peace.

On the contrary, it aims to supplement these institutions and to cooper- 'ND' ate with them in every possible way in a sane, all-around development of the American youth. Scouting has been described as the process of making real boys into real men by a real program that Works. This program is adapted to the boy's leisure hours. Its principles are the kind that enter into every phase of his life, becoming part of himself. Character development is the keynote of Scouting. By practice it instills ideals of courage and honor, cheerfulness and kindness, loyalty and obedience, cleanliness of mind and body, faithfulness to duty, devotion to country, reverence to God. By his oath the Scout pledges himself to help other people at all times, to keep himself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. Scouting makes him a better son, a more alert student, and a heartier adherent to the church of his choice. Later on he will be a more responsible and valuable American citizen for his Scout training now. Scouting knows no bounds of class, or creed, or race. It is universal, having members in all parts of the world. It aims to help every boy to develop into the fullest manhood of which he is capable, an individual in the truest sense, with recognized responsibility to himself and society. Scouting is not a reformatory movement. It was devised for the normal boy, neither very nor very bad. Nevertheless, it is an effective instrument for straightening out crooked sticks. good Scouting believes that there are no bad boys, but some misdirected ones. One juvenile offender, who later became a Boy Scout, said that he liked being a Scout, 'cause it gives a fellow a chance to learn something all the time and help the other fellow. The Scout Movement is nonsectarian and attempts, no formal religious instruction. From the beginning the Boy Scouts of America was conceived and has since been developed on the broadest possible lines. The Movement has kept itself free from all party affiliations, though hold- ing itself ready at all times to cooperate with all institutions and causes when necessary for the community and national welfare. Its sponsors are men representing the widest variety of inter- ests, viewpoints, and professions. The minimum age requirement for Scouts is twelve years. The average age is fifteen and a half. Boys of eighteen or over are encouraged to stay in the Movement as assistant Scoutmas- ters, or as Associate or Veteran Scouts. The Scout leaders are chosen with great care, for Scouting realizes the importance that the leaders play in the development of the Scouts. The Scoutmaster must be at least twenty-one years of age, and a believer in the American Government. He also must be willing to subscribe to the Scout Oath and Laws. He must have had some experience in boy work and should be an outdoor man, with a keen knowledge of nature. He must be a man of strong personality, with power to command the respect and liking of his boys. The man who is interested in the things which interest the boy to whom he is talking will not find it difficult to get acquainted and to see below the surface interests of that boy. He must be the kind of man who practices good Scouting as well as preaches it. In the Scout Troop the boy learns to live with others. His resoureefulness is strengthened Julius H.

One of the results of this feeling is the League of Nations. When W'oodrow Wilson went to Europe for the conference that preceded the Treaty of Versailles, the people of the various nations were begin- ning to regard this proposed alliance seriously. Wilson had talked a great deal concerning its formation, and, although it was an age-old hope, and Lord Robert Cecil had drawn a plan for it in 1916, Wilson, using General Smut's plan as a basis, was considered its principal sponsor. In 1920 this institution was born at Geneva, Switzerland. For a long time it was very doubt- ful whether it would live. Cynics ridiculed it. The United States repudiated its founder. Russia was in a state of political and social upheaval. Germany and her allies were barred and the Treaty of Versailles had aroused a feeling of injustice throughout Europe. Under such con- ditions it was well-nigh impossible for the League to inaugurate world peace. The fact that it lived through such troublous times proves the soundness of its foundation. This foundation was laid by a group of internationally known statesmen elected for this pur- pose at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The three main points of the covenant they formed are: to prevent the outbreak of war, to remove the causes of war, to develop international co- operation in every sphere in which different nations have common interests to promote. Also, in order not to have a covenant that is too binding, it is provided that a nation may withdraw on giving two years' notice. Its council consists of representatives from Great Britain, France, Italy and .lapan with representatives from six other states which are chosen each year by assem- bly. lf a question is being discussed which concerns the interests of a nation that has not a rep- resentative in the council, that nation may have a special representative at that meeting. Any declaration of war concerns the League and may be brought before it by any member. Une can see from these provisions that each country which is a member is safeguarded from infringement of its rights. Also, that with so strong an opinion against it, any country would not declare war without much consideration, and during the period of deliberation there would be a greater chance for afbitration. This is the theory of the League. Now we shall see what it has done actually during its ten years of life. We shall also consider some of its difficulties. Although there were many black moments for the League, perhaps the first great crisis came when Poland and Lithuania quarreled over thc possession of Vina and refused to accept the League's settlement of the affair. Another crisis came when Italy and Greece disagreed over the murder of some Italian officers. Mussolini was obdurate in his demands and the Council was powerless to answer Greece's appeals. Then Spain withdrew from the League and the admis- sion of Germany was prevented by bad faith. However, this was practically the last outstanding disaster due to incompetence. These men who had been so faithful to their ideal were beginning to think in international terms. Representatives began to compromise in thc demands of their own countries and to work for the good of the world instead of the good of an individual nation. The League began to function properly. Some of the men who clung so tenaciously to their ideal and helped to make the League a success were Lord Cecil, Dr. Benes, Dr. Nansen, and Aristide Briand. However, according to Phillip Gibbs in his summary of the League, these men could not Continued on Page 671 KENNETH KURSON CATHERINE EPSTEIN Graduating Essay Graduating Essay 969662896 illilehal winners lass nf 1931 QCQJCQGQCQC ELIZABETH RILEY Junior Exhibition 33 THE ORACLE The Mayas of America Fourth Honor Essay gress of the greatest civilization of the ages, let us pause a moment to think a little of Lisa-5:4 another people, who a thousand years ago built up in Southern Mexico and Central America, where their comparatively few descendants dwell to this day, a different sort of culture, yet equivalent in many ways to ours, and after centuries of labor abandoned it for some unknown William Cole HlLl'l in this day and age the busy wheels of industry roll ceasingly on to further the pro- '-. I . - . . . r reason. Let us look into the lives and habits of this racekthe Mayas. We do not know from whence they came but it is certain that they were not aboriginal there. Much present evidence however tends to show that they migrated from the North sometime be- fore the birth of Christ and the theory of the lost continent of Atlantis has great weight. Their language is unlike any other on the American continents but many Maya and Japanese sounds are identical though without kindred meaning. The Mayas were'-and are-a dark skinned, broad-headed, beardless, muscular race. 'I heir chief faults seem to be that-at least at the time of the Spanish conquest they were addicted to human sacrifice and cannibalism on a small scale, yet for all that they were a remarkably clean race both physically and morally. The Yucatan peninsula is covered with an extremly thick tropical growth which often ascends as much as thirty feet in a year. Beneath this the entire land area is of limestone through which the rainfall quickly filters leaving the land parehed during the d:y season. lt is with this lime- stone that the Mayas have left their most majestic monuments. Without the aid of any mechani- cal device, even the simple wheel, without beasts of burden, without metal tools of any kind tfor they knew none of these thingsj they constructed by pure muscular labor huge temples and pal- aces of stone, which time and the jungle have partially destroyed, congregated them into huge cities and connected these cities with roads of stone not inferior to any which we build today. They terraced the hillsides for farming and knew how to irrigate when necessary. But it was not alone in engineering that the Mayas were accomplished. They had an elab- orate system of mathematics and possessed a knowledge of astronomy better than any in the world at that time which enabled them to devise an accurate calender. They had a form of writing and wrote books on fiber paper covered with a wash of lime. At the time of the Spanish Con- quest immense libraries of these books still existed, though only the priests and head men could read them, but the Spanish fathers destroyed nearly all of these in the belief that they were doing a good by destroying heathen literature. Only three books have survived thus far and with this limited laboratory of research we are unfortunately unable to read their script. The Mayas made exquisite ornaments of gold and copper 3 they painted on walls of plaster in colors which still survive, they spun and dyed cotton, producing a cloth rivaling silk in its delicacy, they made beautiful pottery, understanding the true glaze. This much we know of the Mayas-that they were a remarkable race i11 many ways. Yet we do not know from whence they came nor why they so suddenly abandoned their cities to be dwelling, at the arrival of the conquestadors, in greatly decreased numbers as savages in the jun- gle. We do not know what was their political system that enabled them to dwell in comparative peace for many years at a time, in fact we know only enough about them to incite our interest and-shall we say-curiosity. We can only wait and let the future reveal the secrets of a vanished people who were, in their time, as cultured as any race on earth.

To spend or to save is the vital question in the economics of today. The present favorable state of French finance is attributed to the fact that the people of France, particularly the peasants, save their money instead of spending it. American economists, with over production in nearly every line staring them in the face, no longer speak of thrift as an economic ideal. Even by the average householder, it has been thrown out on the rubbish heap, where it lies alongside of meekness, humility, modesty, and a score of other qualities, once highly esteemed but no longer deemed essential to moral health. Most of us have become better spenders than savers. Are we right or are the Frenchmen? From the higher economic point of view the spenders are clearly right. We have built up a producing power which can only be kept functioning if we buy to the limit of our capacity as a people. The difficulty is rather that our buying capacity has not increased fast enough to keep it with our ability to produce, and the industry becomes stagnant through overproduction. When fear and uncertainty for the future cause any tightening of the national purse-strings, wheels stop turning, looms become idle, and we find ourselves experiencing the thing that we feared. Men are discharged, payrolls are reduced, and with our purchasing power still further reduced, we face hard times. These periods of depression remain until the accumulated products of industry are consumed and a new cycle of producing, gives confidence and renewed buying power. Now, let us consider this side of the question. Take our fathers for an example. Perhaps Dad would like a new suit of clothes, but at present he does not feel prosperous and will probably make the old suit last until a decent regard for the opinion of mankind compels him to take action in the matter. There may be more than fifteen million men in the United States who feel somewhat as Dad does about it. Suppose that instead of waiting for the vanishing point of their present garments to come, they should go into the stores throughout the country to buy two suits of clothes. What would happen? Presumably there are nothing like thirty million suits in our stores. Orders would begin to pour into our clothing factories. Hurry calls to come back to work would go out to idle employees. There would be fat payrolls, with bonuses for getting out production quickly, and for working overtime. Suppose it went still further. Mother has delayed buying new clothes because of the present reaction on Dad's business. This goes, too, for the other fourteen million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand families all over the United States. Suppose all these wives should de- cide that if Dad can afford two new suits of clothes, conditions cannot be so bad, and should also purchase such necessities as they deemed essential. What happened in the clothing industry would be duplicated again and again. Every suggestion from us, the younger generation, that the old bus was beginning to look shabby has been met with a frown. Now, with wheels turning overtime, we can just drop in and see what the new models look like anyway, and soon in Detroit, Toledo, and Flint, car bodies will be rushed through to meet the demands of agents who have been starving, or thought they were.

A real philatelist gets great enthusiasm in getting 136191 together hundreds and thousands of stamps issued by the different countries. Any collector, whether or not he appreciates the artistic beauty of a stamp collection cannot help learn- ing much of value, his knowledge of geography is increased by the sorting out of the stamps into the various countries, he learns the names by which the countries are known in the countries themselves, and the coins of the nations are set forth in values on the stamps. His knowledge of history is enlarged because many scenes and incidents in the history of a country are often placed on the adhesives. Though stamp collecting may be primarily a hobby, many people collect as an investment. It is interesting to note that in the present stock market depression there was prac- tically no decline in the stamp market prices. One of the most interesting stories of everyday life can be told about the work of the postal service. It seems magical that a bit of paper with writing on it can be sent anywhere in the world and finally reach the one person for whom it is intended. We may think that the postal service was made possible by fast trains, steamships and airplanes, so it will be a surprise to learn that long before such inventions were made peoples of the very early times wrote and sent letters. In- deed, the Bible tells us that King David wrote letters long before Christ was born. The Assyrians and Persians, the ancient Greeks and Romans, and the Chinese had ways of sending word through- out their kingdoms. ln fact the word post comes from the Latin postium meaning placed, or fixed. The old Romans had posts where horses were kept at intervals along the roads which stretched like a network across the Roman Empire. At these posts messengers carrying letters on public business would stop to change their tired animals for fresh ones. But in those ancient days royalty and members of the nobility and very powerful soldiers or merchants were the only ones who could afford to send letters because of the expense. The earliest service in North America was established in 1692 when Governor Lovelace of the New York colony started a monthly service between New York and Boston. But it was not until May 1794, that the United States Congress passed the first postal service law whereby there was a charge from 3.08 to 3.25 on each letter according to the distance, the amount to be paid either by the sender or the receiver, but it was not until 1847 that the first adhesive stamp was issued by the United States Government. It is the same year that the first United States mail service was established to the Pacific coast which, of course, was very slow. A man by the name of Todd traveled through deep snows and over steep mountain trails to deliver letters to the gold miners of California charging from 31.00 to 34.00 for each letter delivered according to the dist- ance and the hardships encountered. In the winter of 1859 a horse express, later called the Pony Express, was organized for the purpose of carrying the mail to California over the central route. To my mind this is one of the most romantic periods in the history of the United States Postal service. This was the time of the Gold Rush and as all were intent on reaching the land of gold, no settlements were established on the way. Consider the romance that lies back of a letter that was carried by the Pony Express. Picture the rider dressed in a buckskin suit and high boots, mounted on a speedy pony, the mail securely wrapped in oiled skin for protection against the weather, often making one hundred and fifty miles without rest. These riders were real heroes. William Newman 1? 41 v 27 3' IJ' 5 U rr F 4 A U' E 2' 5 5? :- Z.

As the plains were full of hostile Indians and bandits, it was the usual thing to expect at least one encounter before they reached their goal. Would there not be a certain thrill in owning a letter carried over the plains and mountains by a postman on snowshoes? For, after the snows had closed the passes to the Pony Express, Snowshoe Thompson, as he is now called, volunteered to carry the mail from the plains over the mountains to Carson City. It was considered almost impossible to accomplish this feat, but he did it, and not only once but every month for thirteen winters braving the bitter cold, the aval- anches, and the blizzards. Snowshoe Thompson, though little known, is, in my mind, one of America's real heroes. What would you do if you found 332,500'? Well this has been done but the boy who did it didn't know it. While he was searching through an old trunk for stamps he found a one cent stamp issued by British Guiana. This stamp was only a stained piece of paper on which there was printed a full rigged ship and was cancelled by the postmaster's initials. There had been several stamps of the same sort found but they were all of the four cent denomintion. He sold this stamp to a local dealer for a few dollars and from here this stamp changed hands several times for a higher price each time it was sold. Baron DeFarrari of Austria obtained possession of this prize, and, when his collection was sold this single stamp brought a price of 332,500 Mr. Arthur Hinds of Utica, New York, who was bidding against an agent of King George of England, obtained this adhesive. We have all heard of errors which have cost many thousands of dollars, but errors which are valuable are scarce. One of these instances is an error on a stamp now called the Post Office Mauritius. In the British colony of Mauritius the wife of the new governor was sending out invitations to the inaugural ball. She thought it would be fine to issue a set of stamps and use them for postage after the celebration. As Mauritius had not issued stamps before and most of the prominent countries had been using them for some time, she thought it would be a fine time for the inaugural of a postage stamp at the same time. While the engraver sat over the die the night before the big day copying a soiled bit of paper on which the stamp was pictured he became puzzled at a word which was printed on the side of the stamp. What was that word after post'? He knew he must find the solution, but the question was how. Should he anger the postmaster or irritate the governor's wife at that time of night? He thought that it would be far better to anger the post-master than to anger the governor's wife. He pushed his work aside and started for the home of the postmaster. On his way he passed the new Post-office. He saw the big sign over the door and this brought the idea to his head that the missing word was of'Iice. The next morning he found his mista.ke when he was told the word should have been paid It was now too late to change the mistake so a few were printed for use on the invitations and then the mis- take corrected. These stamps will bring a price of at least 325,000 each. Stamp collecting has been a popular hobby ever since stamps were first used. Of course in the early days the varieties were limited in number but they were more difficult to collect because of the poor transportation from country to country. Today when it is so easy to communicate with all the countries of the world stamp collectors form clubs and help their members fill their albums. There are about 63,000 varieties of stamps known at present but it is hardly likely that any collector will have them all. In the last 2 years over 4,000 new issues were printed by the different countries. To keep up with the changing issues will always be interesting. There are so many different phases to stamp collecting that it could never become monotonous. Philately is one case which is an exception to the general rule, One can't have his cake and eat it too.

FAREWELL TO THE HIGH SCHOOL The grand and glorious class of 1931+I1llII1- bering nearly 200-V is about to start from Bangor High, and it is with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth that they leave the beloved halls--the halls that for four all- too-short years have seen the illustrious mem- bers of the class of '31, passing to and from in the quest of knowledge. Surely the faculty must be sad at seeing them depart, for this has been by far the best class to graduate from the high school since-well, since the class of '30, graduated, anyhow! Everyone has always had his lessons prepared perfectly, from the first school-day in September, 1927, none have caused the faculty, principal, and dean any worry whatever. From the very start all could take care of themselves adequately. DEBATING CLUB The season for all activities is now closing and it is with great pleasure that the members of the Debating Cflub of 1930-1931, look back at the splendid record made by them, assisted by their new coach, Mr. Prescott. The first event which started the debating season off with great enthusiasm was the Hal- lowe'en Dance given in the assembly hall on the night of October 30. The dance proved to be the most successful affair of its kind ever held in the school. Following this social event, a series of in- structive meetings was held under the super- vision of the coach. On Monday, November 24, the practice debates for the Bowdoin League began. Eight debates were held, each member of the club participating. The following teams for the Bowdoin League were then chosen: Affirma- tive: Persis Barnfield, Constance Hedin, Negative: Kenneth Kurson, Robert Kurson, and Robert Cumming. The preliminary de- bates soon took place with both teams debat- ing Hallowell,-Bangor being victorious. This victory made it possible for Bangor to enter the Bowdoin League held at Bowdoin College. At Bowdoin, Bangor defeated Cony High, but was defeated by South Portland. The month of January was devoted to prep- aration for the interclass debates, the senior team was composed of: Persis Barnfield, Christine Uurran, Minnie Alpert, the junior team 5 Elizabeth Schiro, Elizabeth Schoppe, Albert Landers 5 the sophomore team: Rob- ert Kurson, Constance Hedin, Barbara Ber- tels, and the freshman team: Bernice Breidy, Hope Betterly, and Eli Kaminsky. The sen- ior team was victorious, winning the cup in this tournament. The remainder of February was devoted to the preparation for the preliminary debates for the Bates League.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The members of this society had a formal ceremony at the chapel exercises on May 29, ORACLE when they took the pledge of membership, Election to this society is a very great honor. as Principal Taylor stated in speaking of its purposes. The requirements for membership are that the student stands in the upper third of his class in scholarship, and must possess in addition the qualities of leadership, char- acter, and service. Following are those students who were chosen from the class of 1931: Minnie Alpert, Roger Averill, Margaret Avery, Persis Barnfield, Priscilla Blaisdell, Sarah Breidy, Winifred Brown, Frances Clough, William Cole, Christine Curran, Cath- erine Epstein, Sidney Epstein, Madeline Far- num, Frank Faulkner, Warren Flagg, Mary Gibbons, William Gould, Frances Hayes, Helena Hewes, Robert Kingsbury, Howard Kominsky, Kenneth Kurson, Nathalie Sand- ers, Natalie Mersereau, Louis Morrison, Beryl Warner, Vernon Morrison, William Newman, David Rubin, James Ruhlin, Betty Russ, Ruth Seigel, and Robert Turner. SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play is always one of the great happenings of the year, but this spring it was an exceptional performance. Even more in- terest was shown than usual, because the play was written by two seniors, Carroll Blanning and Betty Russ. The performance went off very smoothly tif one forgets the curtainsl and praise is due to Miss Rideout, the dramatic coach, and to each member of the cast and of the committees who helped to make the Sen- ior Play of the Class of '31 one of the best- if not the very best-of all those ever given by seniors of Bangor High School. The part of Uncle Peter Arnold was well taken by Henry Reid. He showed all the testi- ness and all the jollity of an old country farmer who had been transplanted to the big city of New York. Caroline Bacon was Aunt Fanny Arnold, and she played wonderfully the part of a coun- try woman who wished to break into society in New York. As Simpkins, the butler, Reginald Murphy H313 5IEI'I9 .STHIS NVWHSHHH 50 THE ORACLE showed all the formality expected of a well- trained butler. Dorrice Trickey took the part of Bridget, the maid, and her Irish brogue was extremely pleasing. Taking the part of Nancy Mardell, Louise Rosie charmed the audience with her darling actions and appearance. Her playing the part of the fake countess and her broken Eng- lish in that part were quite marvellous. Phyllis Peavey, as Mrs. Varleigh, played the part of a very snooty society lady, and she certainly could look scathingly at those whom she felt beneath her. As Jim Craig, a Princeton man, George As a fake Carlisle Was a fine college type. Count-broken English and all-his acting was excellent. And here is the real Countess, Nathalie Sanders. Her simplicity, in contrast with the affected airs of the pretended Coun- tess, was quite noticeable, and she was a charm- ing character in the play. Gorham Levenseller, as Count von Trotsky- the real one-played his part very well. His limp added greatly to the effect. Last, but not least comes the laundry-man, Henry Flynn, was fine in this part-red hair and all. Without doubt, this play, entitled Out of Reach was as successful and as pleasing as any that Bangor High School has produced in many years. The class of '31, should be proud that in their midst they have such fine authors and such fine actors. played by THE LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is considered by many Cwho don't belong to itl as a club that is positively uninteresting, and never does anything that is fun. However, from the varied things that it has done and discussed during the past school year, one can see that the club is very active and interesting. Pupils are eligible to this club, if their rank in Latin during their fresh- man year is honor rank, that is, 85 or above. The Latin Club held its first meeting on Sep- tember 24, 1930, to begin its most successful year. Its first big event was a play, with a cast of twenty students, in honor of Virgil's birth. The play depicted the scene from Virgil's Aeneid in which Aeneas and his followers first came to Carthage and met the beautiful Queen Dido. The Club was particularly fortunate at that time in having an address on Virgil given by Professor Chase of the University of Maine. During the rest of the year, programs were provided by the different classes. The seniors had a program on Virgil and his immortal Aeneid. The juniors, on the buildings of Rome and the Roman customs. The sopho- mores, on Caesar, the general and the man. One long-to-be-reniembered meeting was held at lVIrs. Cumming's home. Games, new and old were played, the new ones being those that had to do with Latin. A mysterious game, called IT, as well as bounteous refreshments, added much to the enjoyment of the evening. As most clubs wind-up with a banquet, so did the Latin Club. But it was not like an ordinary banquet, but like an old Roman Ban- quet. Everyone ate with his fingers, the most difficult task being to spread honey on bread. It is too'bad that couches could not have been provided, so that the members could have re- clined in the good old Roman fashion. Such, in brief, have been the activities of this most active society, for the years of 1930 and 1931. GIRLS' ATHLETIC HONOR COUNCIL The Girls' Athletic Honor Council has had a very active year, with the different athletics to finance during the year. The financial means for the hockey and basketball seasons came from the booth at the boys' football games and from the lunch room at the Teach- ers' Convention. This spring, the baseball games and the track meet were the great events to support. Nine girls have been made members of the Council since last fall, namely: Dorothy Jones, Alice Crowell, and Anorah Peavey of the class of 1932, Gladys Smith, Helen Hawes, Miriam Landon, and Thelma Sullivan of the FEV 59? :S ES Eff? 313' 4-vi' 3- :ua-.

The votes that were cast were close indeed but ltpstein had the greater count, The selection was indeed justified. At all ol' last season's games, Max worked very dili- gently, and was the referee of the games played by the 'B' squad. He is very popular with all the members ol' the basketball squad and no doubt will be able to handle his assistants next season as a veteran. Max is a big shot in the local R. O. 'l'. C. and we all know his scholastic record. lf the manager of the team has anything at all to do with the success of the tean, we all feel confident that Bangor High will win the tournament at the University of Maine dur- ing the coming basketball season.

CRIMSON TURNS DOWN BREWER 'l'hree Orange and Black pitchers went un- der tire in an effort to confiont a barrage of 22 hits bunched by 'Swede' lXf1ulvaney's charges to give them a 16 to 8 victory in the final game of the News League Season. Ten of the hits were for two bases each, and two clouts were for the circuit. The Crimson took a two run advantage in the opening chapter, using a brace of free tick- ets to the initial sack with two singles to break the ice on the scoring for the day. Two runs more hit the book in the second, and tive in the fourth to give the invaders a nine run lead before the home town opened up shop for the day. In the sixth Brewer took advantage of weak moments by Grodinsky who muffed a couple of plays to allow two to reach the paths, coup- ling these two errors with two hits to shove a brace of runs across the platter. They marked time again in the seventh, but were back in the swim with four more runs in the eighth, and two more in the ninth. The C'rimson after registering five runs in the fourth did not score again until the sev- enth when four more counters were picked up, '.1asg.xpy L:l1.1uD UJ '.1au.1suaAa'I mi -.lafuu p-1 va 25 T' PT' -Z 2 fb -n A A UQ F' A Q,- rn rn fl :E FJ.

BAPST TAKE ONE Bangor had a tough break in the game against Bapst and took the small end of the score 16-8. Bangor started in like race horses but seemed to wilt after a while. It took Manning in the sixth to pitch air-tight ball and therefore hold the Dowd men. Dunc McDonald did a good job for the Bapst.

ELLSWORTH A JINX The small town of Ellsworth seems to have a one man team which the Crimson are not able to trod over. In two separate games Bangor went down to an insignificant defeat at their hands. In the first game, the 'ump' from Ellsworth seems to have been the trouble 5 in the next just overcon6dent. CRIMSON DOWNS BELFAST The hurling of Guy Flagg, moundsman, brought an 11-Y6 victory over Crosby High of Belfast. Flagg held Belfast to nine scattered hits and turned in a fine game all around.

George Carlisle BAND Closing one of its most successful seasons in a grand blaze of glory, the Bangor High School band made its last public appearance of the school year at the annual Senior play where, under the direction of its leader, Mr. Alton L. Robinson, it played before the play and between the acts. Selections required for both the New lingland, and State contests were featured. The band made its last street appearance Memorial Day when it participated in the street parade. Drum Major Reginald Mur- phy led the parade. As the year closes, it is always custolnary to say something concerning the outlook for the organization for the succeeding year. This year only seven members of the band, one of the smallest numbers in years, are members of the graduating class. Those who are gradu- ating are Gorham Levenseller, Orman Curtis, Charles Pressey, Reginald Murphy, Kenneth Kurson, and George Carlisle. Perhaps it might be intresting to note the strength of the various sections of the band. The band is losing none of its flutes, none of its horns, its percussion remains the same, as do the baritones. The cornet section is most fortunate in the fact that it is not losing a single man. This might be described as a true streak of good luck for in the band it is usu- ally the trumpet section that suffers most at graduation. The clarinet section is also fortu- nate, for only three members who were this year in that section are graduating. The saxa- phones are losing two of its members, and the bases one. In bath the clarinet and cornet sections the students who this year were solo- ists will again return to school next fall. Joe Mullen for the trumpets, and Paul Sawyer for the clarinets. Everything considered- ehances for a most successful season are real bright-and next year the band is again eligi- ble to enter the New England contest. At this time it might be interesting to say that at the New England contest held in the neighboring commonwealt.h of Massachusetts the band from Pawtucket senior high school won first place. This was one of the bands that was in competition with our high school band a year ago in the contest held in that city. Another interesting fact concerning the eontest is that in a certain passage in one of the required numbers there is a part of the piece which represents the ringing of an anvil. We use two pieces of steel to produce the effect but the Pawtucket aggregation brought a real anvill on to the stage when this piece was played and had one of their number strike it with a genuine sledge hammer. According to reports from those in attendance at the con- test it produced the desired effect. At the last weekly band rehearsal officers were elected for the next year. This year's vice-president, Joe Mullen, was elected presi- dent. Norman Carlisle was elected vice presi- dent, Frank Foster, treasurer, Abraham Kern, secretary. The job of librarian, which is per- tContinued on Page 753i THE ORACLE 65 THE HOPE OF PEACE CC'ontinued from Page 333 organization affords a solution of the real problem, which is to find assurance that the signers of a treaty will keep their promises. Whether the nations concerned will or will not keep their pledg- es, does not necessarily depend upon their strength or weakness as a nation. It is in the human element, as embodied in the traditions, the interests, the cultural condition, and the ideals of the nations that we must place our faith. The situation of the world in 1930 and 1931 portrays with great force the belief that the problem of peace involves the character, the unity, and the stability of the nations as the foundation of our expectations that our treaties will be regarded other than scraps of paper. At the present time, the government of the United States has no pending difference of serious import with any other country. As we look across to Europe, it is gratifying to find that we have no acute international problems. lt is not possible to foresee what effort may open the Way for the universal demand for peace. Knowledge, unity, justice, and cooperation of all classes will enable us to move in the right direc- tion. Let us bear in mind that it should be the untiring effort of each and every one of us to avoid another unspeakable catastrophe-the catastrophe of another great war. 'z--e-Q-M-4 SCOUTIN G CContinued from Page 34D as he comes face to face with new and baffling situations. An objective comes to him-an object- ive which reaches through Scouting into life-an objective of manliness. Opportunities for lead- ership of himself and others come to him. He comes to find there are certain principles of manage- ment which are effective. Under wise guidance his own initiative is not kept down, but he does learn team work and regard for the interests and wishes of others. As he observes the man or boy with whom he lives, he forms attitudes. Some characteristics which he admires, he will re- produce in his own life. Thus the traits which do not please him will probably lead him to avoid them. We learn how to do things as well as how not to do things from our associations. Some may ask, What are the privileges of Scout membership? There are more obligations than privileges. Scouting is a giving process rather than a getting process. A Scout has the privilege of doing Good Turns not for personal benefit, but to help other people. Scouting experiences give him something to do-something to love-something to dream for. One of the principles of the Boy Scouts is to do a Good Turn daily. How much happier this world would be if all the people obeyed these five wonderful words. Their motto is Be Prepared. Be prepared for what? For life and for a program of correct living, for wisdom, and for the love of helping one another. If we all were only prepared for coming events. Scouting is literally education. Their method of education is learning by doing. The boy is given a number of interesting worth-while things to do at the time when he is most restless and pines for activity. Youth is restless, and if constructive work is not given, they will turn to de- structive work. Learning is made attractive to the Scout because he likes what he is doing. He is taught to use his eyes and ears and hands and feet to the best advantage. Above all, it teaches him to use his head. A Scout learns to take care of himself and the other fellow. He knows what o 0.0 ' vs QQQ G13 T H E O R A C L E ognznznzo Vo Q, nz'0:0vzuzs0:00:0are1:0uzooysgnzooznzoozoozuzoofn' ' znzoozoozoojozooznznzo 'Q 'Q 'o o:u.u:uEa 12: :fr 0x0 DSO ffl ISI 0:0 la If P? 3. .

He knows and obeys the laws of health. There are no don'ts', in Scouting. It is all do, All the while he is having a very good time, hardly aware he is being taught at all. As a school principal once said, Scouting has done what no scheme has ever done before-made the boy want to learn. Scouting is not devised for a particular type of boy-a city boy, a country boy, a boy with a full purse, a boy with empty pockets, a boy with wise parents, a street boy-but all kinds of boys. The Scout program fits, if correctly applied by a true leader and lover of boys. The Scout program provides its own rewards and desires for advancement. There is no standing still. There is always something just ahead to conquer and achieve. A method of development which is practically limitless is the Merit Badge Library. This Library is not meant to develop specialists, but to provide an opportunity for every boy to follow up his hob- bies and try out his natural gifts and apitudes. If along the line of any of these subjects the boy finds his destined vocation, so much the better. Nevertheless, he is given a peek into various studies, and thus he is given the opportunity to pick his life work. Scouting having proved successful is no longer an experiment. The Boy Scouts of America has a membership of 857,116 Scouts although it is only twenty-one years old. The total number of Scouts in the world, including the United States, is over 1,800,000. James C. Crapsey of the Supreme Court said, If every boy were a Scout, soon there would be no crime. Scouting promotes justice and fair play. 40! ! ! P'!' THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS CC'ontinued from Page 38D have accomplished so much if popular opinion had not changed and-begun to support the League. As a result of this combination the League to-day stands in a strong position much to the chagrin of those who prophesied so voeiferously its early demise. It prevented a second Balkan war when it stopped a conflict between Jugo-Slavia and Albania. It helped the reconstruction of Austria after its financial ruin resulting from the war, It did the same thing for Hungary un- der the same conditions. Proving that it was a world organization, its next great work was in Asia Minor when it took care of the refugees after Mustapha Kemal's victory over the Greeks in 1924. This League helps the world in other ways than in the promotion of peace. In many places in Eastern Europe its health organization has checked the spread of horrible epidemics. It has also sponsored the World Court. In these and innumerable other ways that I have not mentioned the League of Nations has helped the world since its organization January 10, 1920, and it has proved that an alliance of all the nations of this earth is possible. Many people still find all manner of fault with it. This is easily done for it is far from perfect, but it is the best thing of its kind that the world has produced and the world sadly needed an organization that would bind it to-gether and control petty racial and national jealousies. A point which I have avoided is the attitude of the United States toward the League of Na- tions. I do not pretend to be able to make a decision on a subject that our greatest statesmen have debated, but it does seem, on the face of the matter, that a country whose president spon- sored so successful a League might join it without giving up too much of its own liberty of action. 4:0 68 THE ORACLE fo 9:-sir--11:90 .1. -. 1 1 ioiciuir.-..1.:1n.1.a1..1. 0:0 u nga u 020 4- THE ORACLE BOARD WISHES to thank the Merchants who have E been so generous in giving us their co-operation to make the Or- acle a success.

Therefore it appears upon this evidence that we might keep an open mind on this great question in world prosperity. The things that the League can do in the future if properly encouraged and supported by all civilized nations are without number. Up to this time its main work has been to force bellicose nations to count one hundred before starting trouble and when they have finished this count- ing popular opinion has changed their minds. Looking ahead one can sec more accomplished in the line of social reform and sanitary improvement. When this kind of work has been carried out in the eastern countries, it will remove one of the great barriers to understanding and the world will become more truly one unit. This has been the hope of the greatest minds of many centuries. Let us then support the League of Nations as strongly as is in our power. - 0:0 0200200202020 THE BUSINESS DEPRESSION CContinued from Page 423 Mother and Dad, and all those similar families, decided to buy what they wanted instead of wait- ing. lf prosperity is attained so easily, why don't we have it all the time? If the more we spend the more we have, why try to save? We want many things. lf we spend all we have, we can buy them, but we want something more, we want peace of mind, we want the security that comes from a feeling of independence now and for the future, so we are continually torn between eating the proverbial cake and keeping it, and most of us do an indifferent job of both. Perhaps Da.d has tried his level best to put something away in the old stocking, or to buy a gilt edged bond. And now come the economists to tell him that he is all wrong, and that good times depend upon free spending. Even Calvin Coolidge whom Dad supposed to be the economy principle incarnate, writes newspaper articles suggesting a loosening of our purse-strings in the interest of better business. What is right and what is wrong? Is thrift a vice or a virtue? When his younger son demands a new bicycle, and his older son thinks he should have a little car of his own, like most of the other fellows in college, and even Mother joins in the chorus, pointing out that the old ice-box is un- sanitary, and that she must have a Frigidaire or General Electric, should he hit the ceiling and discourse upon the ancient virtues of simplicity and frugality? Or should he smile as he draws his bank balance down to the vanishing point, with the pleasant realization of how well his family has been trained to stimulate national prosperity? With human nature what it is, there is probably no method of banishing hard times forever, but there is one system that would go a long way toward that end. Perhaps it would lower the prosperity peak a trifle, but it would also raise the levels of depression. That is by a universal adoption of a system of budgeting our expenditures. Every budget should allow for a certain percentage of saving. If everyone saved at least 10072, of his earnings, periods of unemployment would have no terror, we would go on living in our usual manner until things picked up again. The very fact of our ability to do this would cut the length of the depression. The venerable story of the farmer who, when asked if it would ever stop raining, replied, It always has, is still true. The timidity and fear which is so large a factor in the depression are temporary. As soon as people get their bearings that phase of the situation will pass, and optimism will succeed pessimism.

MILITARY The Bangor High School Cadet Battalion was inspected May 20, this year, at Broadway Park, and as far as rumors go, it is believed that the inspector's report will bc favorable. The weather favored the proceedings, and the success of the parade and review was due to the fact that every cadet k11ew what he was supposed to do after having gone thru all the manocuvers during the preceding two days of preparation. The Unit was officially in- spected by Vol. Frank M. Rowell of the Gen- eral Staff, U. S. Army. Pol. Rowell permitted the Cadet Officers to carry out the entire pro- gram, as they had planned it, with the excep- tion of battalion inspection for which he asked that the Unit be arranged in a column of plat- toons. Although this formation had never before been attempted, it was successfully carried out. During the inspection that fol- lowed, the inspector permitted each company, in succession from head to rear, to fall out and rest, much to the relief of those concerned. Following the inspection, Company A cxe- cuted a mnnber of close-order movements. The platoons of Company B drilled separate- ly, and all the squads of Company C were drilled by their leaders. Company D was picked to execute movements of physical drill.
