Sept. Sept. Oct. N ov. Nov. Nov. Nov. Nov. Jan. 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.

Feb. 17 Basketball team ended in and out season by losing the consolation game of the Hancock County Tourney to Pemetic. Feb. 17 The town is still laughing at the memory of Merritt Fitch and Willie Bridges masquerading in skirts at the operetta, The Band Wagon. Charles Kloss was a typical policeman. Mar. 8 F. F. 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. A.'s Hrst chicken. 15 Nickless beat Baker 24-20 in the intramural finals as Ernest Leeman played Corrigan and shot a basket for the other team. Mar. Mar. 19 With Hold Everything B. H. S. continued its monopoly of the Dis- trict One Act Play title. Merritt Fitch won the best actor's award. Mar. 23 Bucksport tied up its district of the Bates Debating League by defeating the Pemetic affirmative 3-0. Each neg- ative team holds one decision. Mar. 29 The Ambassadors proved that they were not the Jimmy Cromwell type when they played at the Junior Prom tonight. OLIVER HARRISON '39

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. Brown. '40. Page 23
