They should learn to get along on less than they are now, in other words, learn to economize. Some of the boys who are graduating will go directly from school into the serv- ice: Others will probably go into war work. The more education you have now, the better chance of getting ahead in your work you will have later on. The parents should encourage their children to study more and do less fooling, to make sure their child's school work is done before considering whether he should go to the movies or not. There are many young men aIId women who have not yet finished school who are leaving and going into war work. I think something should be done about it. Boys and girls should not be allowed to leave school and go to work, unless it is abso- lutely necessary. The young people are seeing how much money there is to be made in the war plants and they leave school to go to work. Then there is the question of the par- ents who work on the night shift in war plants and leave their children at home to run loose up and down the streets. Sooner or later the child is going to get himself into serious trouble running wild the way he is. There should be a stop put to all of this. There should be some recreational centers in the cities and towns to take up the young people's mind, but if the par- ents must work on the night shift, they should leave their children in good hands. lVhen the young people get so that they are earning a lot of money, they feel that they can do just about as they want to do. They begin to go out. They go to night clubs, dances, liquor joints, and the like. After a short time of this kind of life the child's mind becomes weak and helpless and they begin to do things that they ordi- narily wouldn't have done if they had been properly watched over by their parents or guardians. After this war. it is our generation that will be running the government. XVe have got to make sure that we are prepared to take over this task. Some of us students will go farther on in school and get a wider knowledge of the work that we will have to take Over. In future years there will he the prob- lem of re-building the war-torn countries. It is our duty to help them. If it wasn't for those countries we would have QQ 4 THE CORONA foreign trade. Therefore, we have got to help re-build them again. It will take a good many years to do so and a lot of planning. Once those countries are re- built, we can live peacefully until some- one else has the crazy idea of conquering the world. D. GAMMON, 44. POST-WAR EDUCATIONAL PLANNING There has been much thought of the new and better things which might put Bridgton on the map after this war. For instance. an airport which would certainly aid Bridgton's commercial trade and bring more tourists to this section of Maine. It has also been suggested that the possibil- ity of having some new and better side- walks. or perhaps a recreation center. would help. This would be mostly for the benefit of the community people though. But how many have thought of having a new schoolhouse? At a suggestion like that, most people would say, Why have a new schoolhouse? We've already got one that seems to be taking care of the local children well enough. The children are very well instructed here but that is about all. In speaking of the' building itself I will disclose a few facts that are open for improvements. To begin with, the walls afford no sound protection at all, the wooden floor causes noises which distract the students from their work, the rooms are bleak and unattractive, which makes it difficult to in- spire a desire for neatness, and the ceil- ings are so high it makes it difficult for oral recitations, as the echoes tend to fuse the pupils' words into an indistinguishable murmur. The arrangement of the rooms causes a confused stream of boys and girls pass- ing to their classes after each period. This also causes a disturbing noise over the heads of the grammar school children, whose rooms are directly below the high school. The history teacher has no room of her own at all. only the library which is constantly used by the pupils. There is no spare room which could be used for special work such as drilling prize speak- ing contestants. graduation speeches, mimeograph work, etc., and no locker rooms in which pupils and teachers might keep their personal belongings. Our prin- cipal has no office for consultation with pupils or parents. Vilhat private business he does have is usually carried on in the presence of the students or in any empty room that happens to be available at the time. ' There are many other things I could easily mention here such as the condition of the roof on a rainy day, rickety stairs, etc., but 1 will let these few items serve as a reminder. You probably think this is an odd time to bring up such a suggestion, during war time when there are no materials or labor available, but now is the time to be plan- ning for it. VVhy not form a small com- mittee to visit a few local schools. I'm sure old Ilridgton High which has served so many generations would look rather sickly to them after observing some of the more modern local schools. l would suggest a consolidated school which would help pay for the expenses to keep it running out of the tuition fees of out-of-town boys and girls. This would probably be the most practical and would save the town unnecessary expenses. A new school building with better ath- letic facilities, etc., would greatly enlarge the pupil's interest in school and give, not only him, but the townspeople something to be proud of. This war has brought about such changes that the construction of a new building, simpler in design, more scien- tific, and more economical. would be more possible of accomplishment than before the war. I am making this suggestion to you not in my own interest, as neither I nor any of my classmates will be here to appre- ciate it, but for the benefit of future generations which are bound to expect better things than those which have gone past, and will appreciate and make good use of the more modern facilities at their disposal.

I am going to tell you about a smuggler who brought light and hope to hundreds. ,lean D'argent was a young Frenchman who had escaped to England just ahead of the German occupation of his beloved country. Although safe himself , Jean was very sad over the plight of his country. .lean had finally worked out a plan of helping his countrymen which had left the Germans gnashing their teeth in rage and chagrin. He had devised a way of getting the little children out of the country into safety. In preparation for the particular ven- ture I am going to tell ,you about, .lean had slept during the day. Wlieii the eve- ning shadows began to fall he was awakened bv his landlady. As he always did before his excursions, he visited pere Lalonde, the good priest who blest him and blest his undertaking. .lean had .been very lucky, for there were many perils to beset his path. There were challenges from British ships and guards. There were enemy boats, fogs, and German guards on the French coast. But 'lean was clever. This night as he moored his small craft, the mist was nearly rain. It was bard to see but -lean's eyes had become accus- tomed to the dark. This was his old home town and well he knew the rocks on the beach. A little path led up to the village but Jean preferred not to take it, as a sentry was apt to be met there. He made his way over fences and through fields till he came to the town. So far all had gone well but the Germans would be patrolling the streets at intervals, and .lean did not wish to be caught. The blacksmith lived near the center of the town. Now he was almost running and straining his ears for the smallest sound. All of a sudden he heard sharp words and the sound of blows. He stopped and listened. The words came in drunken gutteral German. .Xt any minute the Germans might come out of the house and discover him. He glanced up and down the street. He was fairly caught. On one side was a solid wall of houses and shops built French fashion right to the sidewalk. On the other side was a picket fence too high to scale. Poor -lean! the perspiration poured down over his temoles. What was he to do? He must succeed for the sake of the little children. He must be bold. He stepped right up to the house and listened again. ,lean saw two doors and he listened at each. Ily the sounds he could tell from which part of the building the noises came. He grasped the handle of the door from which no noises came and pulled hard. He found an old coal bin inside and got into it just as the angry Germans stumbled out of the house. They were yelling and cursing, and what do you think about? Two nights be- fore a dozen children had been taken from a nearby town. On entering the house lean saw a dark form lying on the floor. The man moved and -lean seized his gun, gagged him with his scarf, and dragged the man into the coal bin. lle put on extra speed to make up for the lost time. In hve minutes he was at Monsieur Chappellis. the blacksmith. There he found a dozen children, ranging in age from five to thirteen. They were a sad group. but very brave. Tears of an- guish shone in their eyes but they never fell. You older children guide the younger ones. lean directed. They were fortu- nate enough to encounter no Germans. On arriving in England they received food and clothes for the journey to America. These children of France are learning to know and love America, and to speak our language. Someday, when the war is over, they will return to La Belle France that they love so well. WINNIFRED TIILTON, '47. THE CORONA 11 SCRAPPILY MARRIED So nice of you, Abner, to decide to shave off that hateful little mustache you've been cultivating and trimming for months, said plump, rosy-cheeked Mrs. Rankin to her lanky, stoop-shouldered, red-nose husband. Now just as soon as I get these dishes washed and you get through shaving, we'll walk out to the avenue and see the picture at the Strand. It'll seem good to appear in public with you again without everyone staring at you and wondering what you're trying to do to your upper lip. Oh, well, the best of experiments fail, sighed Abner Rankin. slinging a towel over his shoulder and shuffling towards the bathroom. I suppose you'll feel a lot better when my face is as smooth as a pool ball. A lot of these movie actors have mustaches, and you think they look just swell. llut me. hum! l'm only old Abner, your dumb and faithful spouse. Some day everyone we meet on the street will smile and think how young I look for a man who's been married so long. You get in that bathroom and dispose of that horrid brush under your nose be- fore I throw a plate at you, Abner Ran- kin, fumed his better half. If anyone we don't know smiles at you, it'll be be- cause they're naturally kind to old people and dumb animals. Now get i11 there and start at shaving. And don't forget to clean off the upper lip. You're getting awfully absent-minded lately. Abner went into the bathroom and lathered his face, mumbling under his breath something about petticoat govern- ment. Amy Rankin finished washing dishes and went upstairs to change her clothes. She was down and ready to leave before Abner had gone up to change into his blue serge suit, but Abner made good time and soon they were out on the ave- nue and-walking along together toward the theater. So nice of you, Abner, to have shaved off that obnoxious little brush, said Amy for the third time since leaving the house, staring up at the left side of Abner's long face. You look so much smoother and younger. Thanks, mumbled Abner, wondering if they would meet any ,pretty young women on the street. See that you treat me better'u a hound dog. Abner's eyes brightened quickly. A very chic young lady came around a cor- at the Portland Shipyard. ner and approached them. lle kept his eyes on her and, as they met, he was pleased to see her pretty face break out in a big smile. Soon another young lady they met smiled at him openly and his conceit soared. Why shouldn't they smile at him? He looked young and dapper, even without the late lamented mustache. Say, Abner, I wish you'd stop making faces at people we meet, Amy snapped suddenly. Everyone we meet grins like a monkey at you. I ain't making faces, frowned Abner. They smile at me just because they can't help it. I'm so strong and romantic look- ing this afternoon. l iddlesticks. snorted Amy. rubbing her nose with the pick of the umbrella she always carried when going out. You must have your coat or shirt on backwards or something like that, to make people notice you. Now don't get sarcastic, Amy. just because you don't attract as much atten- tion as me, you needn't get buffy. Per- haps you will appreciate me more than you have, after this. As they neared the theater, a group of young boys approached. Suddenly one of the little ruflians burst into loud laughter and pointed a dirty linger. Say fellars, lookit that guy's face. will yah. jest lookit! he screamed in laugh- ICT. All the boys looked at Abner. and all the little faces contorted with spontane- ous glee. Amy stared at them in wonder, as did Abner. VK'hat could they see about him that was so comical? Abner! snapped Amy. VVhat on earth are they laughing at P Lordy, Amy, I don't know! ex- claimed Abner, very IllllCl1 upset. I haven't the slightest idea what makes them act like that. Something's wrong with you. Turn around. Let me look you all over, com- manded Amy. 12 THE CORONA Now, for the first time since leaving the bathroom. Abner faced his wondering wife squarely and what the good lady saw made her eyebrows pop way up under her hat. Ohhhhh, Abner, she squealed. That horrid mustache. You cut off only the left half . Huh! What the- he stammered dumbly, feeling of his lip in frank disbe- lief. Stiff bristles, however, met his fin- gers. Well, can yuh beat- he trailed off in amazement. Oh, you absent-minded wretchf' shrilled Amy. brandishing the umbrella. I'll brain you, you conceited, dispis- able- she swung hard at his head with her rain insurance. but missed for the first time in her married life. Abner Ran- kin was already ducking low and sprint- ing madly for sanctuary in the nearest ,barber shop, holding one hand cupped tightly over the half-vanished mustache. THE NIGHT BEFORE THE EXAMS Study, study. study! Nothing but end- less study for one whole afternoon and evening. VVhy on earth did I leave all this work until tonight ? If you had visited the Cascy's home on this special night, these would be the lam- entations you would have heard. They came from fmvurteen-year-old Jimmy Casey. He was studying for the twelve- week exams which were scheduled for the next day, and, as you gather. .lim was trying to cram twelve weeks' work into one evening. The clock ticked on--11.30, 12.00, 12.30 - Suddenly - Ujimmy! James Henry Casey. You get to bed this instant! Look at the time. That was mother. jimmy continued studying. Oh! VVhat is the difference be- tween a complex and compound sentence, and which is correct - who or whom? And who was supposed to figure out the hypotense of a right triangle. Oh. heavens! I've forgotten what a vertebrate is- jimmy! If you don't go to bed imme- diately you won't go to school tomorrow ! That was Father. Jimmy worked on- Now let me see, you take the square of the right side and- jeepers! what is that horrible looking thing? It looks like the picture of a caribou in the Biology book but it has donkey's ears and bear's feet and-wait! Here is a whole row of triangles marching toward me. They have arrows in their hands. On the other side is an army of who's. whom's, and verbs. How horrible! VVhat if they should start fighting. Did I say start! They are at it in full force now. There were three monsters roaring and stamping around now. The fight continued. -lim started running. The monstrosities followed. ,Iimmy screamed. They grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him. The largest one let out an awful roar- ,Iimmy! jimmy! VVill you wake up and get upstairs to bed. I've been shaking you and hollerin' for the last minute and you never stirred. Now go to bed. The very idea fallin' asleep on top of your school books. Pnvl.l.ls liUSWlEl.L, '-17. MAROONED They were a gay party. the five of them, as they set out that bright morning in early lfebruary. There had been a snowstorm the night before and now the whole world seemed to have the atmos- phere of a beautiful fairy kingdom. The members of the party were: 'Tack Mason, fresh out of college. with high hopes of becoming a Navy pilot: ,lean fkdams, a .lunior at college: young Dr. Harry Henson: his bride, Nancy: and jeffrey Prale. a guide, who was a very good friend of -lack. They had left the car at the little settle- ment, about a mile back, and were pro- ceeding on snowshoes. Mount VVashington. here we come, shouted black. See that little hut off to 'the right, about a mile and a half up? Let's go ex- plore it, he said to his wife. Yes, I'm green as a cucumber, she answered gaily. but I can see now that it's grand fun. THE CORONA 13 In about three-quarters of an hour they arrived at the camp. Upon entering it man they found it was the camp of the who managed the ski tow. It was a two- room affair, with a bed, stove, table, and three chairs. Finding wood behind the stove food in a carton under the table. they de- cided to fix something to eat. Soon the camp was warm and golden pancakes sizzled on the frying pan. Nancy, jean said, I do wish I could turn out something like that. I really can't boil water without burning it. You'll have to give me some lessons-. Her sentence was left in the air. VVhat was that? That horrible roaring noise! They rushed to the door. Like a bolt of thunder echoing across the heavens it came. Tons and tons of Hying snow, rocking the earth to its every foundation. All were struck dumb for several minutes! They retreated into the cabin. Would they escape? Wfhen they had awakened from this stunned silence, and found that they had been spared, they made a rush for the door. Nancy reached it First. Looking out she cried, Oh! Just Chl VVhat a terrible, horrible situation, Jean whispered. XVhatever will we do? The snow avalanche had missed them, that is true. But it had left them stranded ! Actually marooned on an island of ice and snow. VV here the party had come up a few minutes ago there was now a steep precipice of snow. Look, everybody, Jack suggested, let's take an inventory and find how we stand. I'll be honest. I don't see any hope of being rescued. I think we're in an ut- terly hopeless situation. I know that's not the right spirit, but it's the way I feel. On examining their supplies they found a ten-pound bag of flour, a tin full of biscuits, and besides the wood in the box. some in the shed. They decided the food must be rationed. Qn the fifth day their food was all gone. They had used most of the wood. XVell, folks, said Jeff, I guess we're about done for. It's been nice knowing you all. and Jack took Jean out onto the porch. You must know that I love you, Jean, he said. VVe might as well be happy our last few hours. That is, if you like me, he finished. Like you! Jack, I'm crazy about you. How could anyone help loving you? You must know that I think you're the most wonderful- Their conversation was in- terrupted by the drone of airplane motors. In a moment everyone was outside. Could it be real. VV ere they going to be saved? It semed too good to be true. The ,plane dropped food. rope, and di- rections for using the rope. Following these directions, they tied the rope to a corner of the house and dropped it down over the cliff. There was a crust now and they were not likely to start the snow fall- ing again. They had nothing to lose, any- way. In an hour everyone was safe back in town. It seemed that a plane from the Inland Fish and Game Commission had seen their smoke while flying over. Sus- pecting trouble, he had reported this. An- other plane had been sent out to investi- gate. Now .lean is Mrs. jack Mason, and everybody is happy again. VVINNI1-'RED HILTON, '-L7. DOUBLE DEATH During a severe blizzard in one of the Northeastern states, two inexperienced mountain climbers were caught in a se- cluded valley of mountain ranges. Realiz- ing they would be unable to find their way out until the storm subsided, they went in search of shelter. After many hours of searching the men found a cabin which was used by trappers. But by this time one of them, Ted Houston, was seriously ill from exposure. Looking around the cabin, his sturdier companion, slack lien- son, found enough Firewood to last a day. There was also some dried herring hang- ing on the rafters. That night Ted's condition was worse and most of the time he was delirious. Once during the night he regained semi- consciousness, and kept saying over and 14 THE CORONA g over, to Jack's horror, that he didn't want to be buried alive. Later the next evening Ted died. His words of the night before kept running through Jack's mind, as he made sure that his companion was really dead. Early that morning the storm had let up enough so that Jack could bury the body in the snow. When he returned he built a fire with the last of the wood, ate some of the scanty provisions and went to bed. When he awoke it was a grey dawn outside and the cold penetrated the camp. He was startled by an instinct that some- thing was wrong. Looking about the room his eyes fell upon the figure of Ted Houston sitting stiffiy upright in the chair beside the table. Immediately Jack stumbled toward the Figure that was once his dearest friend but was now something horrible. Gathering all his courage, he dragged the body outside and reburied it. VVhen he had finished and had gone back to the camp, he sat for hours trying to puzzle the thing out. As he grew calmer he convinced himself that he had had a horrible nightmare and that he was not insane. To help him stop worrying he got his axe and went hunting for firewood. It was late when he returned and he was more than ready for a good nightys sleep. The next morning when he awoke he was petrified at seeing the same horrible thing happen again. He told himself that he must keep his sanity no matter what happened. Some evil power must be play- ing a game with him. Again Jack buried the body and went dazed into the cabin. That evening he was too excited to get the cabin ready for the night. Jack de- cided that this time he was going to sit up all night and see just what was happen- ing. He took out his diary and wrote down all his thoughts of the episode. But he could not' resist his exhaustion and early in the morning he went to sleep. He awoke late in the afternoon and there was the same cringing nightmare be- fore him. This was too much for him. He was going to make sure this time that it would never happen again. NVith his old hunting rifle he stood over the corpse and shot him through the head. Then he used the last bullet on himself. Late that same night three men came stalking into the camp. One was a stalky- built doctor, one, a sheriff from a nearby town. the other was a close friend of both Houston and Benson. They were sent to search for the two men but when they saw them lying on the floor of the cabin they realized they were too late. At once they all agreed that being lost had worn on their nerves so that they had been in a fight and had killed each other. All this theory was shattered when the doctor examined them and found that Ted was already dead when shot and was also frozen. Investigating around they found a shal- low place, ten yards from the camp, that would be big enough to place a human body in. Around it were dozens of tracks leading to and from the camp. Wliat did all this mean? Ted had been dead for hours, perhaps days, and since he could not have frozen to death, as there was still wood in the camp, there was only one thing left: Ted must have died and jack probably buried him in the grave. But why had he dug up the body, brought hi1n into the camp and shot him when he was already dead! The sheriff then searched the cabin high and low for clues. He almost missed the most important thing, the diary. .He was sure it would contain the missing pieces. In scrawly writing they read of jack's ad- ventures and of his thoughts. Then they all realized what must have happened. When Ted kept saying he didn't want to be buried alive it worked on .Iack's sub- conscious mind so deeply that when he was asleep his inner emotions made him go and release his friend's torture of being buried alive. He tried to remain sane but he was overpowered when it kept repeating. If he had been able to remain awake all through that one night, Jack would have probably been cured of his fear and therefore automatically stop dig- ging up the body. But the last time over- powered him, and he insanely thought that the body was something he could get rid of only by killing and ending his own life. VIRGINIA BRooKs, '47.

BASEBALL, 1943 Bridgton High School entered the year 1943 with hopes of having a fairly good team, although we had lost some of our men, due to graduation and calls to the service. Although we tried our best we ended the season with three wins and four losses. Highlight of the season was the game with Kennett. We were even, five to five at the 10th inning but in the 11th Kennett scored a run and the victory. Wins were secured over Potter Acad- emy and Mechanic Falls. Varsity letters were awarded to: Sam- uel Stuart, Wilbur Moulton, Donald Cockburn, Wilbur Kimball, Richard Car- sley, Reginald Fadden, Robert Peary, Merle Hibbard, and Richard Johnson. DONALD COCKBURN, '44. FOOTBALL The football team, coached by our new teacher, Mr. Reagan, started the season with a try at eleven-man football. Trans- portation being very poor they were not able to schedule any games except a scrim- mage with Bridgton Academy. DONALD COCKBURN, '44. GIRLS' BASKETBALL lfrivk lx'nrt'.' Coach Trudell.

The French Club and the Commercial Club held a joint Christmas party this year which everyone enjoyed. A Valentine dance in February also was sponsored by the club. The next issue of Scratches is to be put out by this club. COMMERCIAL CLUB Our first meeting was held on Septem- ber l7. l943.

The Christmas Party for the Commer- cial Club members and the French Club members was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended it. All the meetings have not been strictly on the business side. Movies at one of the local theatres and refreshments after- wards at one of the ice cream parlors have been enjoyed. Commercial pins have been discussed, but no definite decision has been made yet. This club has made donations to the Red Cross. to the Salvation Army, and to the Bridgton Hospital. Plans for an Easter dance and enter- tainment are now being made.
