THE THOUGHTS OF A SENIOR The thoughts of a Senior go back through the years: Through laughter and sorrow, o'er happiness and tears. They remember the games, the socials, and balls, They remember the building with cream colored halls. They remember the teachers, each with a petg They remember the rooms where each one's seat setg They remember the plays, operettas and shows, They remember the parties, and the girls with their beaux Soon 'twill be over, for it fades like a roseg But the book of our schooldays shall not ever close. -Robert Coombs, '40, Page 13 m- i 9 1. ,H M ' VW' W 1, f Y Y 1 4 ,v,, F1 V2 fp C. c bb 3 'W 3m Q I fn W 3 lgi pl . 6' A , JF W v y V f-,Q . 1. 9-0'-1+-J, c' 2 V ' x .ffm Lrg' rw! - f cw Mf I , 'li wi J' Wi, 74 -,, ,.. ,g, ,W ,N '4 ,fa , ' Ma,- -4, ,..o M NH: ?

This last year she was relieved of her burden by Papa Mossler. As a whole the class has been very Well represented in extra-cur- ricula activities. Outstanding in the One Act Play contest were the followingg- Pat Phillips Cwho has taken part three yearsj, Bob Coombs, Merrit Fitch, Betty Barn- aby, Colon MacDonald, Frances Goodie, Seniors who have taken part other years areg- Norma Red- man, Beryl Bowden, and George Ba- ker. Best actress and actor in 1938 and 1940 were Pat Phillips and Merrit Fitch, respectively. Frances Brown and Charles Kloss have brought much honor to the school through their debating ability. Our class contains a number of athletes prominent in varsity:- George Baker, Owen Stubbs, Dick Tilley, Bob Coombs. Murray Chatto, Colon MacDonald, Bill Walsh, Wallace Leach, Cecil Craig, Merrit Fitch, Kenneth Strout, Fulton Bill- ings and Gayland Powers. Maxine Shirley, and Esther Gal- lant have made a fine showing in girl's athleti-cs, basketball in part- icular. Members of the operetta cast are g-Betty Barnaby, Maxine Shir- ley, Frances Goodie, Owen Stubbs, Patricia Phillips, Norma Redman, Marilyn Eaton, Beryl Bowden, Bob Coombs, Charles Kloss, Merrit Fitch. Other members of the glee club not'-mentioned in the cast are Pauline Doucette and Esther Gal- lant. Senior representatives of the band have beeni- Charles Kloss, Bob Coombs, Frederick Ames. Charles Lackedy, and Frances Goodie. Prize speakers are Norma Red- man, Colon MacDonald, George Baker, Bob Coombs, Patricia Phil- IIDS, Betty Barnaby and Charles Kloss. Student Council membersg- Charles Kloss fpresidentj, Owen Stubbs fvice-presidentl, Maxine Shirley Csecretaryj, Mura Small, and Richard Tilley, Athletic Association membersg- George. Baker fpresidentj, Patri- cia Phillips ftlreasurerj, Gayland Powers. The last but not least by any means are the Future Farmers who have in their membership the fol- lwing Senior tillers of the soil 5- Bob Coombs, Merrit Fitch, Murray Cha- tto, and Robert Orcutt. Nutty Craig fwhom the class automatically inherited last yearj, 8 Ball Powers, and Bill Walsh are perhaps the more prominent CC's iclass clownsb. It is a mystery to us how Bob Coombs has become so brawny and Merrit Fitch so sober -but we can't keep close tabs on them. We have noticed however, that Ad-el Crooker has ben pretty well taken up and we take it for grant -ed that our rugged man Baker has seen plenty of Verona.

G raduation Page 16 xv-I-X th' lv' if .Qi cg .lllilili Y The major function of the Hillcrest if 19-10 ' . 4 f is a portrayal of the events which have taken place during the year at BHS. Although today such a yearbook does not have the sentimental value to the stu- dents that it will in years to come, it serves to remind the people for what reasons they are sending their children to school. For making this, the Hillcrest of 1940, what it is, much credit is due Miss Britten, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Coffin, who have willingly and generously given their time and advice. We Wish to thank 1- . our ac vertisers who, by their support, have made it financially possible. Charles Kloss Editor-in-chief Page 17 APPRECIATION Appreciation! A well known word, isn't it? But how many of the seniors, undergraduates, too, actually know the meaning of the word? Appreciation is something that arises from the pit of one's soul. It is not an attribute that can be increased or impaired at will, on the contrary, it is entirely ab- stract and originates only spontan- eously from within. How many of us appreciate all that has made our high school car- eer possible? Do we ever- stop to realize the dollars spent by our town to main- tain an institution of high standard in order that we might obtain the education necessary for an average living, or the basis for our continued search for knowledge? Do we think of the hours of endurance and patience, understanding and advice, uhselfishly given us by the faculty members in an effort to aid us in locating ourselves in the vast area of learning through which we have groped for the past four years? Do we give a thought to the months of want, weeks of oppres- sion, days of anxiety and worry, years of silent sorrows happily borne by our beloved parents who were willing to sacrifice all in or- der that we might have an oppor- tunity to get a start in this topsy- turvy world? They bore the bur- den of expenses. They surrender- ed luxuries which they might have enjoyed. They spent hours of con- triving, nights of planning, days of laboring, that we might have the chance which they, possibly, were deprived of. It is with these in mind that I speak of appreciation as something abstract. It is a feeling that cannot be expressed by the pencil, it is an inward feeling which comes from the heart. And so, as we receive our diplo- mas, seniors, let us regard them. not as a testimonial of the end of our school career, but as a signi- finance of the gratitude due to all who have helped unlock the door of opportunity to us. -Patricia Phillips, '40. WHY SOME TEACHERS GET GRAY Silence reigned throughout the small hall of the Castine hospital. The only noise that could be dis- tinguished was the clomp, clomp of one pair of shoes. In these shoes my dears, stood all the height of six feet two and a half inches. This six feet two and a half had been steadily pacing the hall with all the grace and dignity of a school teach- er. His eyes were glowing with a strange nature. A scared look could be determined on the face of this person. The white walls dimmed before him. His head reeled and shook upon his tired shoulders, but he still paced back and forth. His eyes were glued upon the little white door ahead of him. It seem- ed so far away. He had been a father before but nevertheless his emotions were not under control. Page 18 He kept repeating to himself, What are you, man or mouse? Stand straight, chest out, chin in, shoulders ba-ck. Take it like a man. But no! This didn't work. He sat on the bench near the window and drew out his handker- chief. He wiped his wet brow. Beads of perspiration covered his tired face. Finally a nurse opened the little white door but he couldn't get up. He couldn't move. His eyes met her smiling face. Happiness beam- ed on his face as she said, It's a boy. He sighed heavily and once more wiped his brow. He was a father again. He threw back his shoulders, chest out, chin in, and went through the little white door like a man. -Frances Goodie, '40. The 3:15 buzzer sounds, hardly heard, in the whistling force of the March wind. But ever watchful eyes knew by the clocks that re- lease had come. A straggling of hurried footsteps became a heavy scuffling tread as various rooms were emptied of their classes. One by one, giggling girls, silly boys, sedate girls and dignified boys, braved the sudden change of tem- perature in heated rooms to the crisp challenigng air of out-doors. Through the mud and slush they ran, walked, skipped or blew to the sidewalk, trying to become accus- tomed to the dazzling sunshine. So long: see you tomorrow. Don't forget, seven o'clock. I'll be up, 3'15 Bye. Back and forth the voices sing. While inside, ten weary teachers sit back and mop their foreheads, enjoying a minute's res- pite. Soon they'll have a second session, namely, detention students, but, for the moment-A hush set- tles over the spacious school. Foot- steps echo strongly. Suddenly a measured, firm and steady tread is heard. Those who are able, rush for cover. The more invincible ones stand their ground and hear the time-worn familiar voice say: No loitering in the corridors, and the measured tread passes with not a falter. School is definitely out, it is 3:16. -Adele Crooker, '40. THE ART OF SELECTING CHRISTMAS CARDS You know the selecting and send- ing of Christmas cards is an art and requires real skill on the part of the sender. If you don't think so lis- ten to this example of a modern college lass, skilled in the art of se- lecting and sending. She sits gazing at the cards dis- played before her and as she starts her selecting she mumbles to her- self: Let's see now-here's a cute one for Jim--he sent such a nice one last year. And here's the prettiest one lor Mother-that twenty dol- lars she sent yesterday certainly came in handy. Here's the senti- mental one for Bill-the engage- ment ring he gave me at Thanks- giving is such a beautiful thing! Now where's that homely one with the hideous flowers? Oh there it is. Afraid I'd lost it. That would never do because I bought that es- pecially for Aunt Laura. The old skinflint! Never even gave me a Christmas present last year and she's got so much money she doesn't even know what to do with it. Hmph! I could tell her a few Ways to get rid of some of it. I wouldn't bother to send even a homely card but 1'm afraid Dad would find out and wouldn't give me the fur coat he's promised for Christmas. Let's see, here's the pile of duplicate cards to send to the other aunts and uncles. Hope they don't compare them because I need the traditional stockings they always send, but it's such a job to select different cards for each relative. I've already mailed those penny Christmas cards to the kids back home. I suppose I should have bought more expen- sive ones but, honestly, if I had, I would11't have been able to indulge in that heavenly banana royal this afternoon. Oh! I nearly forgot to send one to the Peckhams. Boy, that was close! If I'd forgotten them they might have forgotten me when it came time for them to make their Christmas trip to the home town, and I might have been left behind! As you can see by this example it is a wise person who knows how to select and send Christmas cards so that the sender profits by it. -Betty Barnaby, '40, Page 19 THE IRONY OF FATE The sun dawned on a little fish- ing village on an island off the coast of Newfoundland , casting its rays through the rising vapor that island on always enveloped the cold bleak days such as this. None of the coldness, however, could touch the heart of this little fisher- man's child. Why, wasn't she the happiest girl in the world? Wasn't she going to the mainland to start her elementary education tomor- row? Of course she was happy. Nothing could stand in her way now that her usually rigid father had given in to his small daughter this once. It was today or never for her be- cause soon the great width that was the river would freeze over' for the winter and the picturesque riv- er boats would discontinue their run to the mainland. She was quite safe though. Hadn't her father promised that the freezing weather would not -come for at least a month? He had read it in the sun- set only last night. This morning though she awoke and shivered. She knew not why, for her bed was warm and cozy. Maybe it was the excitement, she thought. Then came the loud, clear ringing of the chapel bells, tolling out their message. The ice! It had come in the night and choked out all contact with the mainland! There in that river of ice. hope and illusion were drowned by un- -conquerable fate. -Mura Small, '40. A LITERARY STROLL The Foolish Virgin , deciding that she had done sufficient labor for The Twenty-fourth of June , took Beautiful Joe and started on a stroll. Ever since she was So Big she had favored nice long walks, and this was an ideal day. With her Sketch Book under her arm, she and the dog started down Main Street . When they reached The Pool of Stars , she threw sticks in the Undertow for Beautiful Joe to fish out. They took the winding path through the woods and soon they came to the pasture where Black Beauty was grazing. They rested by The Mill on the Floss much longer than they had intended, and upon start- ing for home, they found it was nearly twilight. The Virgin noticed A Light in the Clearing and much to her surprise found that Rip Van Winkle , The Virginian , had in- habited The Enchanted Barn . Following the Trail of the Lone- some Pine , she encountered The Girl of the Limberlost . She was carrying The Magic Umbrella . Page 20 Why are you carrying that? Because I don't want to get 'Freckles' , the girl answered. Where are you living now? asked Ruth , the Virgin. We have moved to the House of Seven Gables . I should like you to bring some of your friends' to my Home as I get very Lonesome . Do you ever see 'Little Dor- rit' ? Yes, I often see her in 'The Old Curiosity Shop'. We go there to read 'The Fun of being a Mother', said 'The Girl of the Limberlost'. Suddenly a noise attracted their attention. Beautiful Joe had seen Blackie, the Cat who was his Dear Enemy , and was chas- ing him for his very Life , Beautiful Joe ran and hid un- der the doorstep of Bleak House . It was a tired Foolish Virgin and Beautiful Joe who finally reached Trick Away House in Rainbow Valley . As it was very late they entered the house very. quietly by the Secret Stairs . -Patricia Phillis, '40. A Little Learning Is Sometimes a Dangerous Thing In the days of prohibition when liquor was scarcer than h-it is now, many people in desperation looked in all directions to find al- cohol to drink. Someone heard that there was a considerable amount Cof alcoh-oll in such products as lemon extract and canned heat. Grocers couldn't figure out the sud- den demand for these products which they never before had much sale for. But when the wise birds sampled their new form of alcohol they discovered that it had a very intoxicating effect. In fact it had about the same effect as castor oil only it put the sufferer out of his misery. This is also true of other alcoholic products, so remember just because it contains alcohol don't try antifreeze. -Charles Kloss, '40. THE DOOMED MAN The man had been sitting there a long time-for eternity it seem- ed to him. In. a few minutes it would be his turn to walk that last mile. The man had led a good life and had done no harm to anyone, but tragedy befalls many of us and it had this man. The perspiration rolled off him and fell to the floor in large drops, as he thought of the ordeal to come. Many thoughts raced through his mind. Will it hurt much? Will it be over quick- ly? Will I scream? All these thoughts raced through his mind. Oh! moaned the man, what have I done to deserve this? Just then a long screech echoed through the room. His hair stood on end and he started to pace the room. Back and forth, back and forth he paced. Oh! moaned the man, why must I go, even my family has turn- ed against me to send me here. The zero hour arrived and a door opened at the end of the room. A large portly man stood framed in the doorway. It is your turn, he said. The doomed man walked through the door into a room, with a huge chair at one end. Sit in it, commanded the port- ly man. The doomed man submitted ineekly. He was strapped in tight- y. Ready? asked the executioner. Ready, replied the doomed man, will it be over quickly? Yes, replied the executioner, what will it be, gas or novacaine- that tooth is pretty bad. -Joseph Nickless, '41. LES CHAPEAUX You show me a woman's hat and I'll tell you what kind of a woman she is. First, there's the sweet thing in a beribboned poke bonnet tied un- der her round little chin. She looks sweet sixteen but that hat neutrali- zes the rest of the adage. She dim- ples and coos from beneath the shadowy awning. She is a rare or- chid and often as poisonous. The next type always feels at home in a frame. She's a picture and her finish varies from the neg- ative to perfect development. She never wears rouge, for she believes in the outline technique. Her mouth is scarlet bow or something Page 21 similar, but like most outlines, she isn't always too comprehensible. Oh yes, I grant you the girl in the chapeau is as pretty as a picture, taking into consideration the candid camera brigade. Here comes Dr. Carter. What is that with him? Right you are, it's a pill box. So perky, so chic, and so silly! A gale of wind, so what? Didn't you know that an elastic band under that neat roll holds this unstable creation in place? Office girls and gay young matrons are his most faithful clientites. There comes a street car filled to overflowing--hats, hats, hats! Wish we had time to get a load of 'em. We're in luck. The Bangor Bul- let is losing speed, and also two young--well, quite young-ladies. Here's one we can't miss. It's Miss Spinster, who knows she should be conservative, but oh, for just one bow! She compromises with a brown band. The brown felt just succeeds in concealing her eye- brows. An inconspicuous little brown feather is shoved daringly under the band. She walks dciiant- ly but feels not too disagreeable to be so frilly and feminine. With her is the Mona Lisa of the millinery shop. The soft felt with the round crown and adjustable brim, which can be worn up if your hair is curl- ed and down if the clock didn't alarm, adorns her head. This girl may be any age as long as she wears saddle shoes and socks. Hats to me are true character guides. I must be going but re- member, any resemblances to per- sons living or dead are purely coin- -cidental. Yes, yes, I'm leaving just as soon as I get my hat. --Margaret Allen, 41. CHARACTER SKETCH A stranger to the school will no- tice very quickly that one character seems to predominate. When a certain step is heard in the hall, all unnecessary noice issuing from the adjoining rooms is abolished. It is surprising how many places this person seemingly, may be at one time. At first glance one observes a tall figure enter the room. Upon more careful examination one notes this person to bare a stern countenance and to be of athletic type. His hair is not only sprinkled with gray but has also become somewhat thin. He is very neat and tidy in appearance, which fact probably shows that he has a good wife. He is an excel- lent teacher, one who insists that the lesson be learned thoroughly. It can be truthfully said that he is deeply respected by all who know him. I feel certain there can be no con- fusion in the mind of the listener as to the person of whom I am speak- ing. He is to the school as a com- pass is to a ship. -Frances Brown, '40. MORNING There! it's rising! rising! glowing! growing! rising higher! Till against the morning sky it spreads as if it were aflre. Can it be a thing of fright, a thing of irony and might? Page 22 Softly, softly does it rise higher, higher, as time Hiesg Till at last on the world it glows, for then my friends the sun has rose! -Robert Coombs, '40, THE COUNTY FAIR A country fair provides an inter- esting study of various types of people. It takes a fairly well edu- cated person to appreciate fully this fact. Standing in one spot in a midway and watching the streams of humanity that pass in their never-ending search for pleas- ure, one may enjoy the experience of viewing every type of humanity. Here, one sees the stiff, polished la- dies and gentlemen of society on the one extreme and the clodhop- HENGLISH versus The United States, an off-spring of England, is sometimes known as the greatest English-speaking coun- try in the world. We do not hesi- tate to call our language English , but possibly some of the Britishers have other names for it and for the people who abuse their blossom of a language. The way we juggle words to make an expression easy to say, is probably disgusting to the strict English constructionists. Tho sour-pusses can't take it,-but can we dish it out -and how !- And we're not slinging' the bull- ony either . If an Englishman heard of a jitterbug he would immediately look up the word and pers of the country on the other. The faker and the barker, the farm- er and the laborer, the gambler and the racing fan, the business man and the socialite, the professional man and the engineer are all at the country fair. Probably nowhere else in the world could one see such an assortment of human types. A person would find it well worth his time to watch this parade of men when such an opportunity presents itself. -Madge Coffin, '41. AMERICANISH find out what kind of an insect it really is. Probably they would not understand what we mean by such terms as jivin, peckin', neckin', or muggin' . Ever since tobacco was discover- ed, people thought that they were smoking cigarettes but we know that thev were just butt fiends , and actually were draggin' on weeds. But time's a wasting so we'll cut the dirt. Actually we don't have to look as far away as England for disap- proval. Even our own parents have to stop and think to tell what we mean. -Charles Kloss, '40. SPRING When When When When the iieecy clouds go drifting by the puddles reflect the clear blue sky the sfnow creeps slowly from the earth the sweet song birds seem full of mirth And the tiny buds appear on the trees And the little flowerlets dance in the breeze When the busy streets with laughter ring We know in our hearts thathit is spring. -F.

DIARY IGF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT C39-'40J Started school and after one look at the new teacher I think I'll enjoy this year. 27 Initiated the 8th graders and tour new teachers into our midst tonight. The new fem. teachers looked good in pigtails. 13 Danced the evening away at the Junior Social. 3 Marilyn Eaton walked away from the Sophomore Hallowe'en Social with the door prize, of 5.95. ' 4 Football team ended an undefeated but once tied season by beating Bar Harbor 33-0. 10 After last night I think most of us are in favor of having a night ses- sion every evening, but I don't think the teachers have our enthusiasm. 11 The debators got back from Pitts- tield last night feeling full of knowl- edge after listening to Bates and Col- by. - 23 A star-studded cast headed by Pa- tricia Phillips and Robert Coombs as the love interest with George Baker supplying the laughs, wowed the town with Love in a Fog, the school play. ll Spent another evening dancing at the eighth grade social. Music furnish- ed by Artie Shaw by means of record- ings. Between dances ice cream and cookies were served. Page 24 Feb. 5 The stork called at the Mossler household yesterday and left a boun- cing baby son who was immediately called Michael. Feb. 17 Basketball team ended in and out season by losing the consolation game of the Hancock County Tourney to Pemetic.

A.'s Caboret style social was a great success. Even Mr. Brown and Miss Critchell tried their luck at a contra-dance. As it turned out the dance was sort of a coming-out party for the F. F.

Page- 26 , 1 Mfb Univ mr xx J UNIORS The first class meeting of the class of '41 was called to elect the following officers: Joe Nickless, president, Earle Wescott, vice-pres- identg Dot Cushing, secretary, and Margaret Allen, treasurer. This class held a social which proved very successful, with Eddie Bachelor as chairman. The outstanding social function of this year, however, was the Jun- ior Prom. Margaret Allen was elected general chairman of this with Dorothy Cushing, chairman of the decorating committee, Earnest Leeman, chairman of music com- mittee, and Margaret Morrison, chairman of refreshment commit- tee. A queen, who was elected by pop- ular ballot, lead the grand march with her escort. The Ambassadors from Ellsworth furnished the music. Ice cream and cookies were served and coca cola was on sale. 1 This is what the Junior class has done together. It was necessary, however, for the class to be separa- ted into two home rooms this year. Miss Critchell's room has had a different form of government every six week period. Donald Grindle and William Abbott were the presi- dents. Miss Britton's room has had but one form of government throughout the yearg a democracy with Earle Wescott as president. They won the' honor banner and also the prize for 100 76 sale of Hillcrest pledges. And so we leave this class divid- ed until next year when they will be united by Mr. Mossler in the study hall. SOPHOMORES The apt saying, you can always tell a sophomore, but you cannot tell him much, is misapplied to the class of 1942, in as much as the members seem to have been told by the teachers so effectively that they have led the honor roll by a wide margin for three years. Nor is rank the only claim to fame. 42 has been Well represented on the teams, play casts, and operetta, while the band and orchestra seem almost a sophomore parade. The president is Norman Powers: Vice- Pres., Carroll Page, Secretry, Doris Harpeg and treasurer, Betty Boterf. The high point of the sophomore year was the sophomore social, at Halloween, at which there was more fun than profit. As a unit the class of 42 has not been active this year, but as individuals the members have ta- ken part in about every event of the year. The class is justly proud of the work of the Bucksport De- bating team because of its Sopho- more Representatives. It is also proud of its musicians, of Lizzie's flying fingers, of Willy's tooting and Jo's characterizations. Should you wish to make an est family of all the school superla- tives, the brightest, the prettiest, the noisiest, the most romantic, the funniest, yes, even the screwiest. vou have only to name Rosebush, Harpe. Nickless, Morse, Page, Web- ber: all typical sopohomores and all typical of the class of 1942. Page 27 FRESHMAN CLASS WRITE UP! Our extra large class of eighty-five is progressing slowly but sure- ly to the front of the field of extra -curricula activities. Our represen- tation prevails in athletics, dramatics, and music. We have a balance of fourteen dollars and fifty cents in the bank. Plans are being made to increase that amount with proceeds from a social, we are holding in the near future. Our class is ably advised by Miss Shesong. Class officers are: Pres. Ferdinand Doweg Vice-Pres. Jean Harrison, Secretary, Melva Brawng and Treasurer, Richard McAvoy. EIGHTH GRADE The Eighth Grade have a few members in diiferent activities, such as: basketball 171, baseball 123, football 121, glee club 1105, and dramatics club. We had one social from which we received a fairly large sum of money. We are enjoying the year very mu-ch. Miss Sawyer is our class advisor, and we wish to thank her for 'her help. Our President is Ralpn Jewettg Vice-Pres., Thomas Goodieg Secretary, Miriam Macomber, Treasurer, James Bedell. The Robin Goodfellow of Bucksport High School Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known as Puck, was Shakespeare's lovable little rascal of Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare is noted for his ability to create types. We have one of the most glow- ing examples right here in this class. She may even now be sitting right next to you! Beware of her pranks! Like Puck she loves to prove what fools we mortals be. She likes nothing better than a good match and she carries her potion in the form of a spit ball. Robin Goodfellow spent all of his spare time teasing the toWn's folkg our little Puck amuses herself by tossing off fiippant replies to a certain geometry teacher. She is very impulsive and excitable. She may always be seen wildly cheering for the Brown Bombers at the ball games. She is like a streak of lightning that has borrowed the purple and white of the rainbow. Her eyes flutter like two little brown wrens, imprisoned behind walls of glass. Behind her restless and roughish manner lies a heart of gold. She may annoy you at tives with her jokes, especially if the jokes are on you !-but remember it's the Robin Goodfellow of the World that makes life worth living and a lot of fun! -Margaret Allen, '41.

Bucksport entered the One Act Play contest. spon- sored annually by Bowdoin College. Their coach. Miss Faith Shesong. chose a Drama Guild production entitled Hold Everything. This play casted eight characters. Merritt Fitch and Betty Barnaby played the leading roles. while Patricia Phillips and Colon MacDonald. both playing character parts. produced the comedy for the play. Frances Goodie. Kenneth LaBarge. Robert Coombs. Phyllis Mercer starred as newspaper reporters, The school will lose six of its veterans at graduation. This will badly dent the dra- matic group of Bucksport High. but we feel sure that the lower classmen. wiho have taken part in previous plays. will do justice to future performances. The preliminaries of the county contest were held at Castine. It was judged by Mr. Mills. a member of the Little Theater group of Bangor. Bucksport. the town of actors and actresses won over Castine and Penobscot and was presented with a loving cup. Our leading man won the medal for the best actor of the evening. ' .- r The cast continued their rehearsing until April fifth. They then 'went to Southwest Harbor where they met Pemetic and Washington Academy. Here they were defeated by the entertaining school. These finals were judged by Mrs. Mark Bailey. a member of the University of Maine group. It was a close contest and -all three schools shawed marked taste in the selection of both play and characters. The cast presented their play here at Buckspoi't. the seventeenth of April.

Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball team. under the supervision of Miss Britten, had, like last year, a four-game schedule. Two games were played with Orono High Sdhool, and two with Pemetic High School of Southwest Harbor. Although they are still waiting to break into the winning column, the girls managed to tie one game. The others were very close, leaving us with the hopes of a more complete schedule and greater success next year.

BASKETBALL Although not equaling the successful victories of previous years. the 1940 basketball team was one of which any school might well be proud, The members possessed undaunted spirit and in spite of their short stature. provided strong competition and high-grade action during the entire season.

BASEBALL n f Coach Mossler called his baseball team for its first 1939 practice the first of April. After much hard work the season opened with a win over Belfast. As the season progress- ed. three teams presented stong opposition: Brewer. Bucksport. and Bangor. Bucksport defeated Bangor twice in the same day, leaving Bucksport and Brewer to play for the championship. If Bucksport had won the tinal game with Brewer, the number of games won and lost would have been the same for Bucksport and Brewer. Bucksport lost this important game 5-2. However. the team had one of its best seasons since the high school started, winning twelve out of fourteen games.

One game was lost at Bangor after three bitterly fought over- time periods. Another was lost to Ellsworth after two overtime periods. Either of these games was lost by not more than two points.
