MR. VON MAUGER May we thank Mr. Von Mauger, our class adviser, for his excellent guidance and counsel in our class affairs. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One bright sunny day in September, 1936, a group of boys and girls entered B. H. S. They were a timid group, but, oh, what a change has trans- pired during these four years. Because we were freshmen we did much to attract attention to ourselves, but freshmen are to be Hseen and not heard. During that year we sponsored an enjoyable auditorium program and held a skating party at the local rink. We were indeed grateful to our adviser, Miss Margaret Miller, for -her capable help in preparing us for Senior High School. Being sophomores and starting our first year in Senior High School, we felt quite distinguished. In September we held a skating party at the local rink. The next day proved that the class must have had a grand time, for one could see the members limping through the halls. In October one of our classmates, Geraldine Hughes, and in the summer another classmate, Carl Pysher, died- bringing much sorrow to every member of the class. Our sophomore year ended successfully under the supervision of our adviser, Mr. David Thomas. We next reached the heights where we were called sophisticated juniors. The first successful Thanksgiving dance in years was held in November. Later in the year many new and shiny class rings glittered on the hands of the class members. How very proud we were to show them! In the spring we held our first banquet-at Buck Hill Falls in the Poconos. A grand time was enjoyed by all with speeches, songs and dancing. To finish our year the class enjoyed an excur- sion to the New York World's Fair. We ended our year of successful activities with Mr. Von Mauger, who cooperated so well with the class. Now we have reached the ranks where we have become 'idignifled seniors. Starting our year we elected the following ofncersz President, Donald Albert: vice president, Earl Couch: secretary, Antoinetta Sabatinoz treasurer, Sherwood Stancombe: adviser, Mr. Von Mauger. Class emblems, hats, and jackets were ordered and received by the respective members. Later our pictures were taken, and we felt very proud to show them to our friends. Our senior play, Never Call Retreat, was given in the high school audi- torium and proved to be a grand success. We take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Warren Smith for his fine direction and organization. Now we are anxiously looking forward to our last banquet at B. H. S. Fifteen

12M PROPHECY Come my classmates, come away To a far oil' future day. Come my classmates, come with me. What you're going to be-we'll see. Get your hat and come away For prophetic is the day. A swell, exclusive beauty shop Is labeled Carol Bolger, Prop. And stepping in to shake her hand We find still more of our small band, Doris reclines upon the chair While Anloinelle sets her hair. A slim policeman ambles by- Don Groner, as l live and die. Hey! lookit what he's got in tow. Philip Falcone, and did you know Philip would turn to be the sort That's always landing in a court! We step within the courthouse door, To hear Hough's gruff voice roar. So Bill's a member of the bar, And one would have to travel far, Through the dale and over the hill. To find a better lawyer that Bill. We rashly taxi round the park. Earl Beck propells the royal ark. When we see Beclzie at the wheel We dare say to make a reasonable deal With St. Peter, but l'll be bound- All he does is dent the ground. A cinder settles in my eye: I hail Doc Mach careering by. He flourishes his handkerchee, Demands a fifty dollar fee- And gets half of it, at least, When he is famed and I am fleeced. The school bell rings, the lines troop in. We see the teacher. dour and thin. Annajane, well bless my hat That Annajane should come to that. Some things astound without a doubt- What! William Clarence not about. The band is playing in the square A horrible unfamiliar air. We pause to listen a moment, and As formerly, in Bangor's band, Fred Roi.uden's toot the tune is lost, But he will play at any cost. There's nothing wrong with her appeal For Madelyn isn't under a heel. She rose all the way to the top like a trooper Fourteen And now she is playing opposite Jackie Cooper, For she has made herself a name And brought to Bangor nation-wide fame. Society goes purring past: There's Iva Beegle by none out-classed: She looks as sweet as sugar honey For she has married a man with money, But Anna Landry cannot be outdone For she has married a rich man's son. .Margaret has always been the quiet girl of the class. But now four years have come to pass And she is getting many a hand. For singing along with Marugy's band She has now become a famous miss As life's a wonderous life of bliss. We drop in for a spot of tea With Miss Ruth Lindemun, and holy gee, She gossips Connie's divorced again, And if she can count, this'll be ten. That Fritz and Pat have settled down In our little rustic home town. A strolling hurdy-gurdy man Extends his rusty. trashy cars. And as we drop a nickle in We catch Lewis' toothless grin. As We pass on down the street lVintha s apple cart by chance we meet. We take in the local matinee: Katherine is starring there today: Jennie ushers us to our seat. But on the way we pause to greet Beverly, who soon will take the stage: Her marimbo solo is all the rage, We notice a newsstand by the way. And. to read the news of the day. XVe buy a copy of the Bangor Times From Pritchard who contentedly reclines In a swivel chair behind the counter. Unfolding the paper We are happy to see The future stations of our classmates three: The daily is edited by classmate Mary Who published an article by our once very Brilliant fellow student, Lola. now risen to the public favor As a learned educator. Upon the sporting page a picture we see. Three guesses you have, who will it be- John Roberts, for strange as it seems. He's now a member of the Davis Cup Teams. To great heights of fame and skill he rose. And thus we bring our verse to a close.
