A c was posted. ht first there were few results, but then one class begun to shoot up- A ward. What are the other classes going to do about this? For one thing we can eat less candy and ice cream, can't we? we go to too many movies, shows, and dances, too. The girls could have fewer waves and new dresses. -The boys do quite well, but cou1dn't some smoke and play pool less? dvery penny helps. It only takes ten or twenty-five for one war stamp. We also need more competition. In nearly every contest we haveyone side stays far ahead of the other sides. Let's make this a little different. Truly, it is different. Buying war stamps and bonds should be uppermost in nmerican's heart. Every one wants to speed the day of victory, and M every true buying war stamps insures your future. It may mean going on to school as you have long wanted to and thought you could not. You may laugh at this now, but it may make your chi1dren's education possible. It may mean that you boys can have that new car you want after victory is achieved. There is another angle too. Think for a moment of your friends and relatives in +he servieess Surely you dcn't want your brother to be without ammunition when I Z 3 he comes face to face with our enemies, do you! Don't answer that, we know what the answer is. Just start buying war stamps and go over the top of that chart now! Frances Gesner, '44 V Profitable Life in High School This is a subject that has as many versions as there are pupils in a school. Some consider their years in high school profitable if they are spent in continuous study of books and their report card shows a four year average grade of A or better. Others consider their high school life profitable if they can make a passing 4 grade and star on athletic teams. Still others care not for rank and care not for sports. Their idea of a profitable four years of high school, or many times only one or two years, is the trouble they can give others and the dishonorgblu name they can gain for themselves. i I believe in the highest scholastic rank obtainable with the student taking part in athletic contests and other school activities. Although a mark of ninety or ninety-five is desirable, if a person studies incessantly and omits athletic and other competitive contests, there is still much missing in his education. Extra curricular activities are no excuse for subject failure, If you are engaged in too many of these, out them down. If you aren't, study harder. Scholarship and competition aren't all there is to a profitable high School life. The little things total to a gigantic score. An Hexcuse men here or HI am sorryu there, sincerely spoken can mean a lot. That cheery Hgood morningn as you hold the door for a teacher or classmate does no harm. A thought that was re- peated in the mind before it was spoken might have prevented an injury in another's heart which time will not wash away. A few less words spoken in a lower tone in the ears of your companions will turn your way equally as often. These and a hundred more like them seem insignificant at the time, but as we practice them life is more profitable for us and much more agreeable for our associates.

However, the battle which I would like to consider is none of these. It is war in itselfg it is a factor in the demoralization of our people, and a decisive element in the future of millions of young Americans. This war at home should be against uncertainty and uneasiness instead of pro- moting these by false rumors and confused orders. Our people at home should have laws made clear, principles defined, and orders accurate. The war on nerves when directed toward the onomy is equivalent to a military victory, but when that same , method is used against our own populace, it is a military defeat, and the effect on our economic system is not conceivable. The present draft system is an example of this misunderstanding. The ago group of 18 to 38 is in continual unrest. Married men with families, single mon with jobs, students with a future--all these are disturbed and unsettled. wou1dn't it be just as easy to make definite rules and make them public, thus giving theseMOr young men an opportunity to plan for the future! I believe it would, and, what isp I believe this should be done. t , Kenneth Cooper, '44 The Supreme Gift It was hot and damp in that tropical forest. The cruel sound of battle could be heard not a great distance away. Joe lay there on the dark, damp ground hating that sound. His ears hummed with it, and his eyes blurred. He was badly wounded. The Red Cross doctor and his nurse had done their best, but even that cculd not save him. Joe was going to go, and he knew it. But he didn't seem to care much any more. The chaplain, who had spoken the age-old words of a better world to come, had gone on to other soldiers who were wounded or lay dying. I His thoughts now were of home and of his mother. He remembered the happy, kindly face framed in the halo of graying hair. He wondered sadly if it had grown any grayer since he had last seen her. He thought of his snub-nosed kid sister, hdoshg she must be grown-up now,n he thought, and in spite of the pain, he smiled at the memory of her little-girl impishness. He remembered the gay times he had had with his pals back home and of the dark-eyed girl who had promised to wait for him. He wondered what they all would say when his mother got the Uwe regret to inform you ----- H from the War Department. nNo, I mustn't think of that now,N he thoughtg Nthey'l1 be brave, I know.n Then pain blurred his memory. When his mind cleared again, he was conscious of the heat, but pain had less- ened to a dull,throbbing ache. The roar of battle could still be heard, but it was growing fainter now. He thought of the buddies he had known and had loved. They had died for the Stars and Stripes. Nell, he had gotten revenge, for he had five Japs to his credit. Ho had done his share, and he had no regrets new, Once again he thought of home and the ones he loved, and he smiled. It was a strange smile. It held pain, and love, and sadness and even joy. The smile still linger- ed on his face when they found him, with eyes closed in eternal sleep. He was ay great soldier, and he had died with his boots on. ' ' Bertha Sale, '45 - Shoes It is too bad that life is like a pair of shoes. 1 when shoes are new, like a new baby, they are much admired. The softness of the leather, like the softness of a babies' skin is tested. Babies attract more attention than do new shoes, but new shoes are the cause of much comment and ad- miration. Then comes the time when the wrinkles begin to appear. This is the time when the child's personal traits start developing. Perhaps he will like books better than dolls, but, nevertheless, the wrinkles begin to appear. The careless days come next. Shoes are made muddy, dusty, and scarred, just the same as a child. Many a beating the shoes take, but so does the child. The time comes now when'new soles are needed for the shoes. They have been through quite a lot. The adolescent, too, has a change of heart and adopts a new attitude. As the human grows, so the shoes wear, until they are old everyday shoes. That is when a person is middle-aged. Alas. comes the day to discard the old shoes--so comes death. People know it is coming, but they try to patch themselves up, as the shoes are patched, for a little longer. Sooner or later they give up--too tired of trying to lock new and shiny when they, at heart, are old and grimy. When you stop and think, after all, life is like a pair of shoes. X Kathryn Bennett, '45 The Last Straw Let me tell you of one of the worst days I've ever lived through. My cruel old master drove me on and on through mud and slush until I began to think I could go no farther. I don't know how, but I managed to haul myself out of that place, only to be punished still more. My master made me run on so fast that soon I became thirsty. I began to puff and blow aff steam, but that made no difference to him. In a little while I began to sputter, and he began to choke me until I could go on no-more. I gave one last sputter and stepped. He get out and made me drink some more ice cold water which curled me off, but I thxught it would certain ly be the end of me. For quite awhile, he tinkered with me. Finally he get mad and began to swear at me, a poor innacent little car, who had stopped only beacuse my master had forgotten to put any gas in me.

Women dislike it be- cause it is just so much more work. Men dislike it because after the housecleaning is done they can't find a thingg their wives have rearranged everything. Boys and girls dislike it if their mothers want them to help because they always have some- thing else very important to do. Years ago when people cleaned house, they went through the whole house, taking down all the curtains, taking apart all the beds to air the bedding, and taking everything out of all the closets and laying the things on chairs, beds, and tables for airing and brushing. The whole house was dismantled for several days. Finally, after everyone's nerves were worn to a frazzle and everyone's health endangered by dust and overwork, the things were put back, not, however, without the loss of several valuable and necessary articles. Nowadays people finish one room at a time, this being, I believe, a more son- sible war. Do you want to know how we happened to change our methods at our house? One year while our house was in just such an upheaval as I have described, we received a telegram from great-aunt Cornelia, who was quite rich and had promised our family a thousand dollars in her will, saying that she would be in town that day and would expect to spend the night at our house. You should have seen the mad dash at our house to finish the guest room and set the parlor to rights. Awe had finished neither of them when she came, to say nothing of the rest of the house, which must have looked like an auction or a fire sale. We held our breaths while she was there, hoping with all our might and main that she wouldn't go home and change her will. Fortunately she remembered the house- cleaning of her childhood and overlooked our topsy-turvy house. Do you wonder that we changed our ways? Hilda Carver, '45 A Forest As I sit at this desk looking out the window at the landscape that I have view- ed many times before,I see more than just a multitude of trees. It may be the way the sun is shining on the surrounding woods, but it seems to me that I see an army of soldiers. The poplar and fir grow separately in divisions like the infa ntry and the artillery. They grow tall and straight because they have to be strong to exist. This mighty army of trees are all united to make a forest. It just occurred to me that ninety per cent of the articles around me are wood. The desk, floor, walls, paper, chairs, books,and even my pencil are made of wood from that mighty forest. ' walter warren, '46 Silas Marner Keeps a Diary g June 12, 1825 It being a lovely spring day, I took Eppie out on the meadow for a walk. It's strange how interested she is in nature, when she is only a little past four, I think it does me a lot of good too, getting out into the fresh air. I didn't use to like to go out alone. - Dolly Winthrop was over here to call on us this forenoon. She is a fine friend, She said that her little boy Aaron was having a birthday tomorrow. He has grown to be a fine husky boy. Eppie took tc him the first thing. It's funny how children take a liking to each other when they're so young. Eppie can talk quite plain now. At the moment, she is sitting on the floor in front of the hearth playing with the kitten that Mrs. Winthrop brought over last 5 5 Q i L, week. Eppie keeps me occupied most of the time. She is more mischievous than the other Eppie was. My little sister was like an angel, but she wasn't any better a companion than my little girl. New I must get back to my weaving and get it done before I put Eppie to bod, The noise Keeps her awake, so I'll have to close this 'iary new and finish my weav ing before she goes to bed. Virgilyn Barrett, '46 In Appreciation An orchid to the Buckfield boys wherever they may be. They may be in a Homeland camp or on a foreign seas Some in dear old England's care, some on Alaskan Shore, Some are in New Guinea, too, some in Labrador. You'1l find them in the Navy or the Air Corps or Marines, Somewhere over Italy,-India,or Philippines. The Spirit of old '76 fights on in them today To help preserve our liberty, our freedom,and our way. Their valor and their daring in whatever they may do Will send a bomb to Hitler and to Hirohito, too. A prayer to the Buckfield boys wherever they may roam. 4 A prayer for their safety and to bring them all back home. Oh, it will be a happy day, that day of victory, When all our boys come home again from far across the sea. The bells will ring, the flags will fly, bands play for marching feet, The peace-abiding feet that come marching down the street. Their mission is accomplished, but have we done our share By buying stamps and war bonds and by helping everywhere? Ours is a minor parts all honor goes away To Buckfield boys so loyal, faithful in the fray. I Jeannette Damon, '44 Tests What good I would ask you are tests. They'll ask you how to make a cake They waste our time and our thoughts And when the chicken's done. They try to test all that we know They'll ask you which's the proper way, By asking for commas and dots. And have the most of fun. They ask just why a chicken eats, Students often have gone to room three, And how a cow is constructed. The previous day's test the cause. You wouldn't think they knew a thing With cloudy eye and shaking knee Or the answer they mistrusted. They dread the rank of their flaws. Sometimes it's nice to know a lot Geometry is surely fine, Except when 'zaminations come, Then for the book I pine. Kenneth Cooper, '44 I X N J? The Class of '44 The good old class of forty-four Started out with an even score, But now we've gotten down to ten. We're just waiting for nthat time whcnn We've worked, and laughed, and played together, But June will come despite the weather. Good old school days will soon be But we will laugh and carry on. The jobs that wait for us to do Will be many and hard ones too. Wc'll miss the teachers every one, gone But we'1l be glad we've had our fun. Julia Lowell, The Promised Land Dust trickles in'at the windows. The sun beats in at the door. Little children are playing, On the cabin floor. The mother stands in the doorway, Looking up the street, For she sees father coming, Coming with bread and meat. The air is quiet and peaceful. No guns are booming here, For this is a country of love, Of love and homes so dear. Each does as his heart tells him, And peace with his neighbor keeps, Each man puts forth his best, And fruit of his labor reaps. Each one in this land is happy, Happy because he is free. ' The people here are many, Just like you and me. But how did we get here, You are very apt to say. Right now things seem so different With loved ones dying each day. Friends, I'll tell you a secret. I'll tell you the method to use. It will seem very hard at timesg But you have the chance to refuse. I Nations must stop fighting And work for the good of others. It is then, and only then, That a man may call all his brothers. Stuart Turner, '45 Plea of a Soldier A I'm not complaining, remember thatg Don't think my courage is gone. I'm just disgusted with you homefolkq And I fear you're in the wrong. You say your job is impossible, That your ration points are few. Look at me in this muddy fox-holes Oh--all you see is you! .

So buy all the stamps and bonds you can, And keep nOld Gloryu flying. Then soon we'll hear the Vict'ry band, And hear the Nazis crying.

L 'ff l ' .LRTQEELEZBX ' I Studied half the night, The Flag What's the Use? This morning as I walked to school, The sky was a clear blue, The sun was coming over the hill, And in the air a chill, The flowers all were opened wide, And the birds were singing sweetly, The team is made up of nine players Against the clear blue sky waving up high, Was our country's flag. I stopped and looked at it waving there, And thought of how much it stands for. I saw the red and white stripes which stand for our colonies, And the forty-eight stars that stand for our states, As I passed on, I thought to myself. There's one thing I'm proud of, and that's to live in the United Statesx Cynthia Bonney, '46 Baseball Baseball is played from April to September, It is a game for all.

Snow Now I like snow in Mark Turner, '47 the winter, And I like it in the fall, But I don't like it in the spring With no green grass at all.

E X T R A ' Never again in my lifetime do I expect to receive such a thrill as the one I . received this morning. I turned on my radio at six o'clock as usual, but instead of hearing the usual farm reports, I heard one word, Ulnvasionn. That word made my heart races excitement was in the air. I wanted to hear more. This was the thing for which the world was waiting. At last it had happened. The invasion to liberate the enslaved people of V Europe was beginning. Freedom from fear and want was coming to the subjected people of the Old World. Every heart in every man and woman in the allied countries rings with the thought. Our men and boys, friends and relatives, are doing the thing which means so much to all of us. Soon, their job done, they can come home, a perfect record behind them. Why should this mean so much to us? We have never been under the Nazi rule. Of course, one answer is clear. Our army is fighting and dying on the battlefield. But there is a greater reason than that. Deep down inside every man there is a kindly feeling toward every other man no matter what the color, race, or present ' condition that man is in. When the other fellow is knocked down by an unfair jab, not given a chance to defend himself, the spectator feels pity for the victim. In a free country like ours that feeling is intensified many times. we say revenge will come, but secretly we wonder if it will. Now that we are assured of that fact, now that our forces are going into Europe, now that we can see some good gotten by our working and going without on the home front, now that we see some prospect of the ond of a terrible war, the hearts of all free people ring out with the cry, nGod be with us and guide us in this great hour.U And so on this day, one in millions, we await further developments, hoping against hope that success will reward the greatest effort of all time. We will not be let down. Every true American believes that simple fact. I Stuart Turner, '45 For weeks now everyone has been waiting for news of the second invasion of continental Europe. Every day people ask themselves, HIS this thg dayfn We all know that Hitler has been saying invasion will be tomorrow. It gave us courage to know that he didn't know so had to be prepared gli the time. I We have been waiting for the invasion with a feeling of excitement as well as a feeling of fear. We know that right this-minute our boys are losing their lives on the battlefield for us. If we have this feeling about invasion, I Wonder how the boys feel who are taking part in the actual combat. Avery single American is in this battle pitching for all there is in him. There are a few, though, who wish to make great gains through war money and profits. Thank God there are only a few! They will be reckoned with when the right time comes. This morning every American who heard the invasion news must have felt like shouting--then after the excitement was over all must have turned to prayer. Many mothers are asking, nwill my son come back, will he? Please, dear God, may hein Next there will be a period of anxious listening, waiting, and more prayers. It was very noticeable this morning--when we said the Lords' Prayer, the deepest reverence and silence seemed to creep over the study hall. Silently, everyone must have been praying that the invasion will be a quick and complete Victory for the allies. I .

Those who took part in music in 1942-43 received their emblems last fall. Helen Record, '44, wrote a school song to the tune of Nwhat a Friendn. The words are as follows: T There is a school, Dear Buckfield High, We love her, oh, so dearly, Led by her rules and teachers dear, Our path is seen more clearlys P And round our hearts, we will enfold Those ties which naught can sever, For memories we'll always hold, Forever and forever.

C. Keene as first selectman. He had even gone a step further that the apparently neutral attitude used by our Chief executive and had said that he was not a can- didate. However, the townspeople had a different idea and by a large majority re- elected Keene over the other candidates. A The town meeting, always picturesque, always interesting, seldom surprising in outcome, today gave the spectators an even greater thrill than usual. The town hall, situated on High Street, whose beautiful elm trees have suffered greatly from the storms this winter, is the building whose white steeple can be seen by anyone approaching the town from any direction. As A. T. Cole, the town's aged and trust- worthy town clerk, called the meeting to order at 10:20, the sun was shining outside trying its best to bring forth the bare ground folks always look for on town meeting day . . Fields--Bessey Position Reversed As the meeting get unden way, the assembly chose James Warren moderator Then they proceeded to elect officers as follows: First Selectman Second N Third H Tax Collector Road Commissioner School Board Town Clerk Town Treasurer Sealer of Weights Fence Viewers and Measures Vo Co Keene Gordon Fields Gerald Bessey George Record Almer Gammon Earl Holmes .gh To Cole Ao To Cole, E.
