THE CORONA 1955 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF BRIDGTON HIGH SCHOOL BRIDGTON, MAINE PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY TAYLOR YEARBOOK COMPANY DALLAS, TEXAS OUR FUTURE HOPES' My heartiest congratulations to the class of 1955. Each year, we who carry on for Bridgton High, regret the leaving of the young people we come to know and admire. This year in particular we will bid farewell to a group who have given our school great pride and a sense of accomplishment for their memorable contri- butions to fine scholarship, unexcelled sportsmanship, and enduring friendship. The spirit of Bridgton High lives on, and may that spirit continue to be your guid- ing light and to impart on those to follow the important lessons we have learned to help us serve God and coun- uy. When you become alumni, keep your loyalty and devotion undimmed. The bonds built by these years of triumphs and troubles will remain, so let us share your future and may you always keep it bright. Clifford P. Tinkham Principal De Ucciti4K We, the Class of 1955, respectfully dedicate this issue of the CORONA to Mr. Robert B. Stevens, who has been our coach, teacher and advisor for the past four years. We are sincerely grateful for the inspiration and guidance he has given us. Back row; N. Field, Mrs. Day, Advisor; B.

Paris 58 Farmineton 53 Short Stories by members of the Senior Class itemfrcie Section, A SUPPRESSION OF THE TRUTH Our story unfolds as a result of a burning, insatiable yearning to enact the perfect crime. The tourist trade and the Fourth of July celebrations had fattened the coffers of the Bridgton Casco Bank. To rob the bank safely and to divide the spoils was our plan. On the night of July 7, six boys and a girl met in a dilapidated old bam on a narrow, twisting, din road outside of town. The close friends that assembled in the abandoned- looking building were picked for secrecy. The driving, blinding rain covered our work. In the barn we discussed for the first time together, the well-learned plans. Every person was to wear a rubber mask and rubber gloves. No one was to remove these until the job was completed. I furnished the get-away car; Jack had secured an acety- lene torch from his father's workshop. The bank, which was located on the main street, was a square, three-story brick building with a telephone office in its rear. We planned to enter that office through the use of a key we had made from a lock impression. Our telephone operator, Betty, would quickly replace the office girl, thereby, assuring no give-away to the ever-taIking public. At one front corner of the bank, and at both rear corners, watchers would be placed. There would also be one on the roof of the theatre directly across the street. Our driver would wait with our auto at the rear of the bank. After entering the building with our key, and after replacing operators, I was to cut with the torch through the wall of the office and on into the vault. When I had finished the inside work, all would reassemble, return to the farm, and prorate the cash. Our plot was simple and seemed flawless. At two o'clock in the morning, we started for town. The assigned positions were taken, but the work had barely begun when we discovered that someone must have squealed. From beside the stream near the bank , building came the sheriff. He walked swiftly around the front of the structure. Luckily the signals came through. Hastily, we jumped into the car and made a run for dear life. The officer ran back to get his car as we disappeared out of sight. By racing through side streets, we easily lost him. We went speeding off on the road north of town into the cold, dark, concealing, black night. Yes, we were lucky 1 No one was caught; nothing could be proven. Only the intent of unknown people had been exposed. We remained unknown. We remain unknown still- now only f-i-v-e boys and a girl—patiently waiting our next chance to enact a perfect crime in Bridgton. Bruce Chalmers I’M AS GOOD AS ANYONE It is the night before Christmas on a sheep ranch in Montana. Christmas lights are shining through the windows and are mingling with the moonlit snow, making the ranch house look warm and inviting. The mood of the night makes Jack feel strange, but he does not know why. Today has been like any other day. This morning he rounded up the sheep as he had always done. When Jack enters the house, Mr. Malroy, the owner of the ranch, rushes over to him and says, Jack, one of the ewes is missing from the flock you brought in this morning. She has got to be found tonight because she is going to foal. Without a word Jack goes out into the beautiful moonlit night again and wanders back to the pasture where he had driven out the flock that morning. Suddenly, through the still, cold air he hears a bleat from a group of fir trees in the distance. Running to this spot, he sees the lost ewe and be- side her, lying down, is a little lamb, which looks unbelievably white in the blue snow. Jack knows that the lamb should get to a warm place as soon as possible, or it will die. After all, the safety of the sheep is Jack's job; and with this thought in his head. Jack picks up the lamb, which seems quite heavy to him, and gently carries him back to the ranch house. Mr. Malroy opens the door and with a gentle pat on the back says, Thanks, Jack, that was a good job. At this show of approval. Jack wags his tail and bounds to the fireplace where he can lie down and forget the cold of the night.
