TUPPER 11 Wesfview Road Cape Elizaliefh, Blaine Lieutenant-Commander Frederick F. Richavds, U. S. N. In the Fall of 1942, Camden High School lost one of its most popular teachers, Mr. Frederick Richards who enlisted in the Navy. Mr. Richards was graduated from the Annapolis Naval Aca- demy in 1922. After graduation he served two years in the Navy and re- ceived an honorable discharge in 1924. ln 1925 Mr. Richards came to teach at Camden High School. Here he taught mathematics until he left us this Fall. 'Being interested in sports, he was coach of all boys' sports until the Spring of 1937 when Coach Dailey took over. From that time on he was Faculty Advisor for athletics. Due to his popularity with the students, Mr. Richards was chosen by several classes to be their Class Advisor, the latest class being that of 1943. He left us last Fall to serve in the Navy. He is now stationed in New York City where he has charge of the U. S. Naval Mid- shipman School, of N. Y., Columbia University and has the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. We wish at this time to dedicate our book to Lieutenant-Colm mander Richards, faithful and popular teacher at Camden High School for seventeen years. -ISABEL PAYSON, '43 C C .

It is here that ships, guns, and planes are made for our sailors, soldiers, ma- rines, and pilots to use. The money and power to back our armed forc- es and war production come from the home front. That is why we who are left here must do all we can to boost the war eifort. Yet, are we doing everything we can? Many people are, but there are so many more who are not. Of course, we buy bonds, give money to the Red Cross, the U. S. O., and other organizations, and do many things for the service men. But there are so many more things that could be done. What about people who use their ration cards illegally and prevent equal distribution of goods? Some hear about the future rationing of a certain article, they then put in a big supply of this commodity be- fore the rationing starts, thus mak- ing it even scarcer. Others find fault with the ration program and are forever growling about it. Can this possibly help our boys? One of the worst things that could happen is going on through- out this country. I refer to strikes- in coal mines, manufacturing plants, airplane factories, shipyards - everywhereg and what good do they do? Workers who are getting good money will strike for more. The amount they ask for may be an increase of only a few cents an hour, yet, they are willing to slow the war production and the winning of this war for those few cents. These same strikers are often the very ones who complain of the ter- rible sacrifices we must make in or- der to come out victorious and say they wish it could all be over. Naturally, everyone feels the same way, but they are working instead of talking. If the American people will put their time, money, and effort into this war, instead of sitting around and talking about it, it will end more quickly, our morale will be higher, and we shall have a really true patriotism with something other than talk to show for it. 12 The Meguniicook Let's stand behind the Red, White and Blue! MINETTA JOHNSON, '44 -CHS- THE CYCLE This essay is more or less dedicat- ed to you, the Youth of America, the Youth of America who are en- gaged in a struggle for humanity. These times are not like those of years ago. You have a life so differ- ent from that of previous ages that there is no comparison. Yours is the job of rebuilding the world. You, The American Youth, have to set an example for the less fortunate coun- tries of the universe. The peasants and common peoples are looking for a Saviour. You can never take the place of the Saviour, but you can be His soldiers, you can do your best. The Cycle starts with youth. You are in your prime, and you should enjoy what few moments of comradeship you have left before going out into the world to seek your fortunes. You may never see each other again. You mustn't look for the Worst in people, because they are going to be your neighbors, your assistants, your loved ones. You can never tell when you will need help, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. You are put on this earth to do good, to be friendly and understand- ing. For when He passes judgment, understanding, love, and kindness are important in order to be allow- ed Eternal Life. The Cycle will continue to Old Age, a time when you will need all the friends that you can make, for old people are irritating to youth, because they give so much advice. But if you, as young men and wo- men, can gracefully accept this ad- vice, it will be of great help, al- though you may iigure, and rightly so, experience is better. Wake up, Youth! Realize that you must learn all that you can! EDWARD BURKE, '44 YOUTH AND WAR December 8, 1941! I have asked the Congress of the United States to declare that a state of war exists between the United States and Japan-. Those were the words spoken by our President, words that set in motion one of the greatest disasters of our modern life-World War II. That was only the begin- ning, for at that time, youth in the high schools and colleges through- out the land hardly knew what was to come. Although we had been sav- agely attacked from behind, we did not suffer as badly as was expected, a fact we learned from later reports. Time went on and our army be- gan to need more men. We had a war-time draft, but not long after- ward the cry went up for more men, men who could learn easily and quickly, and live under the grueling conditions of modern warfare. That pointed straight at the boys in the high schools and colleges, who were just the right age for the qualifica- tions. Not long afterward a bill was sent to Congress which simply stat- ed that they wanted the draft age lowered to 18 years. It was accept- ed and the debate was on. Although it went crazily from one side to the other, all the fellows knew what the final answer would be. What about these boys? What were they doing if they knew the final an- swer? A number of them, a large num- ber, were rushing to enlist While they had a chance to choose the branch of service they wanted. Many, who did this, left school. Others just left and waited to be drafted, for they knew they would- n't finish school, even if they stayed longer. When the bill was passed, it had several clauses which exempted them for a time. One clause was that if the student wasn't called un- til he was in his second half of the year, he could finish that year, an- other was, if he was a senior, he The Megunlicook 13 could finish the year. Many a boy became discouraged and did not start his college year, others began but were soon called to the colors. Formal education was in a precari- ous position. The times were too un- certain. Today, we think we know what is necessary in order to win final victory, but what of the youths when they come back? CWhich we hope will be very soon.J Will they pick up and continue their school- ing? Will conditions be worse than they were after the last War? No one really knows. It is up to the youth, if they want a better world. If they don't-well, let's not con- template the outcome. But, let us pray harder than we ever have be- fore that they do continue their for- mer education and thus make our victory a total victory. Erwin Fitzgerald, '44 'Ttllflllll -:E TELEGRAMS We were sitting around that Sun- day enjoying a restful day 'at home. Mother had been called to the bed- side of a cousin who had fallen and fractured a leg. Father was reading the paper as fathers do on Sundays, Jim was lying on the divan, sleep- ing and reading alternately, think- ing of the girl he might take riding provided he could get the family car. Susan, who should have been a young lady although that charac- terization didn't fit her, preferred the floor and two wooden revolvers which she kept in perfect condition for a game of cowboys and Indians .... g ' with the other tom-boys and young men of the immediate territory. Gerry, the oldest and most serious, was working on some fishing tackle and equipment he meant to take on that trip to the Allagash. I was thinking of the dinner dishes-as all 'teen age girls do-especially when their mothers are away. The door bell rang and I answer- ed it. For whom did you say? Yes, this is Wayne's. I'll sign for the tele- gram. Thank you. Dad, Gerry, Jim, Susan, I cal- led, -a telegram! It must be bad luckg we never get one unless it is. Here, Dad, you open it. Dear Family: 14 The Megunticook Arrive on 10:22 train stop love to all stop. Uncle Hubert Uncle Hubert, cried four ex- cited voices. But Mother isn't here. We can't, I mean he mustn't. Oh-o- oh! We always put on the dog for him. You know, a rich uncle, who must have the biggest and best chair, a cold drink of lemonade or cider within his reach at all times. Every- one must smile, think only of Uncle Hubert, and not make any noise- Uncle Hubert dislikes musical in- struments or dancing or movies, etc. Mother not being here started everything off wrong. She always used the best silver, linen and dish- es. There was even an extra mat- tress put on the guest bed for Uncle Hubert. The whole family started work- ing getting his room in order. What about food? Oh, yes, plenty of that? Uncle Hubert liked to eat. By 7:30 we were dirty, tired, and our dispositions were suffering greatly. No one wanted anything to eat and last, but not least, We could not find the picture that was put over the mantle. The one of Uncle Hubert with his gun and the lion he'd shot- Personally, we always thought he had hired the lion for that particular pose. At 10:00 we piled into the Olds- mobile and drove to the station. The train finally pulled into the station and who should alight but Mother. She couldn't understand how we had found out the time of her ar- rival. We smiled and helped her carry her bags over to the car. She had so much to tell us. Cousin Betty was much better, and who do you think came to see her and to stay a few days?-Who? Who? Well, you'd never guess, so I'll tell you-Uncle Hubert!! Groans escaped everyone's lips. We then relayed to mother the work we'd done. Dad had even touched up a little paint on the guest room floor. The whole house had been cleaned, even the cellar. But the best part was when we got home. Mother sat down on the divan and the rest of the family scattered over the living room, rest- ing. Then Mother sent Susan for her purse. Susan brought it back and what do you think?-Well, our rich Uncle Hubert,-you know, the kind, charming gentleman who comes to visit us, never a bit of trouble, oh, no. He sent his dear nephews and nieces each an envelope-inside we gazed stupified at a 850 bill. Yes, a 5550 bill. Well, We'd always liked Uncle Hubert. RUTH GRINDLE, '43 -CHS- A SMILE A smile cast into so'meone's eyes Even without meaning there, 'Can make the sun shine bright again, And all the world more fair. A smi.e is such a helpful thing Anytime-along the way. Don't you think that your sweet smile Could make the darkness into day? CONNIE DUFFY, '44 -C'HS- FRANCE wIn a picturesque province of lovely France Where roses and lilies yet bloom, And robins still sing and bluebirus yet soar Though the blue skies are oft black wi-th doom, I found one day, while Wandering In the valleys of sweet goldenrod, A little deserted graveyard Newly marked with fresh -damp sod. And I knew as I looked upon a grave With its pathetic inscription there That a powerful huge winged bomber 'Had found i-ts mark And left a heart laid bare. An-d then I th-ought of these people before- Before fthe huge 'air birds had rained Their measure of death and destruction In the wake of a tri-motored plane. And slowly I Walked from the valley, Still thinking' of heart aches and pain That befall a weak, helpless people When war hurls its -death-dealing rain. FREDERJICKA AMBO RN, '43 The Megunticook 15 WINTER Can you picture it? Myriad snow- flakes falling gently to the hard, newly frozen earth and the soft whispering sound they make when they hit the ground? Why must winter come? some ask. But wouldn't you miss it? I guess you would. The moment the first snow comes don't you have a strange sensation run through you? One of the prettiest sights in win- ter is on a clear cold day when you can gaze oif across a wide expan- sion of the white blanket-covered earth. You see mountains with white snow caps, standing out like sentin- els in the cloudless sky, rolling fields which once had the crops of the land in them. Then, as you ob- serve the surroundings further, you can catch a glimpse of a small lake or pond down in a valley, the placid simplicity of it catching your eye. Other days - stormy desolate days when those billowy drifts pile high, blocking the roads until the snowplows can once more clear them by creeping along and throw- ing the sparkling whiteness into the air and onto the already much ele- vated snowbank. Back and forth, day in and day out, from morning until night they go, finally clearing the road only to have another storm come, perhaps worse, perhaps with not such a furious onslaught, but a storm-. All this comes with winter, both the beautiful side and the cold bleak side. Such is winter. PHILIP L. WENTWORTH, '44 -CHS- HQUOTH THE RAVEN A certain party by the name of Joshua T. Bradley, called Josh for short, lived in the outskirts of a medium sized town named Hogens- ville. He wasn't a rich man, nor a poor man, but he wasn't far from being one. He lived in a neat house that was kept well even though he was a widower. His income was small indeed and the only real lux- uries he had were a pet raven and a prized old diamond necklace that had been handed down from father to son since his great, great grand- mother had given it to her son. It was priceless and he had hung on to it even though collectors of all sorts had begged him to sell it to them for their museums. He used to take it out of its hiding place and brood thoughtfully over it on rainy nights when he was lonesome. As he was the last of the Bradley clan and he was a widower, he used to worry over where it would go when he passed away. On such nights the raven, sitting on his shoulder, would fix his bright eyes on the shining ob- ject and watch every move Josh made with it. Now this raven had at least one bad fault and that was his delight in making away with bright shiny objects. The old man was get- ting on in years and he was getting tired of these pranks, although no- thing his pet took was of much val- ue. You can be assured Josh watch- ed closely the raven when the neck- lace was in sight. One dark night as he was ponder- ing over the necklace, and with the raven on his shoulder, he heard a rap at the door. Startled, he drop- ped the necklace on the sofa and went to the door. Seeing only a beg- gar, he gave him a dime and sent him on his way. As he stepped into the room and glanced about, he gasped with horror! The necklace was gone and the raven was swal- lowing something. In a rage he rush- ed over and seized the raven, his own beloved friend, and cruelly twisted his black little neck. Then feeling remorseful he picked up the mutilated body of his pet, sat down on the sofa and began to weep. Sud- denly with a startled oath he jum- ped back up again. Lifting up the cushion, he stared with his eyes bulging out of his head, and slowly and deliberately picked up the priceless necklace. WALTER J. WADSWORTH, '44 16 The Meg unticook DEDICATED TO FRANK J. MAGEE Days, months, years, centuries Cannot express the time it seems I miss you since you went away, Cause that shattered all my dreams. As long as I llive I'll remember How you would play in the band- Anchors Aweigh ! I can hear it now, 'Tho y-o'u've joined the Heavenly Band. You are with us as ever, Frank, As in the Band we play, I feel your presence above them all, To you-your favorite, Anchors Aweighf' Somehow, to me my life has saddened- Something haunting,-some-thing strange. I guess you took the sunshine with you As you entered that distant range. Yes, you've gone and joined the Heavenly ,Band Where music is soft and low, Where little children laugh and sing And wlhere ,lovely Howers grow. You've gone where life is eternal And where skies are always blue. These words I say now, to a beautiful angel, I'll never forget to remember you, Frank. GENEVA KNIGHT, '44 -CHS- SPRING O.h Ned, i't's such a beautiful day, she said, gazing out the window. The grass is rich and greeng the flowers are the prettiest we've seen in Such a long time, the birds are happy and their coats are very gay. The children's faces are laughing, spring is on its way. He said, Yes, it surely is, but this is why it's spring. You' can hear the birds cooing and the brook bubbling, The laughs of merry children, the waving of the grass, The swaying of the flowers all w-oven in a mass. No one would ever know from what he has just read That she was blind and he was deaf, 'But that is what is said. POQLLY FREYTAG, '43 -CHS-- There was some trouble about the school bus in a town near here whose school was under the super- vision of Mr. Lord. The mother of one child who went on this bus, said to her husband, I'll have to see Mr. Lord tomorrow. The following night at the sup- per table the child looked up and said, Mamma, what did Jesus say? !9 MUMPS! I hate the sound of that word, it makes me think of one week spent in blown-up agony. I feel I have fellow sympathizers on that. ' One morning you wake up and wonder if your still asleep, at least, -dreamy, because you feel sort of funny. Looking in a mirror you gaze on what was you. There you are extended two feet Kfeels that wayb on either side of your face. What a beautiful sight! As for eat- ing, the first day isn't bad at all, in fact, you rather think the mumps are a cinch. But, the second! Why won't those jaws open and 'Oh l' the gremlin playing around inside! Ouch! It's no picnic. Sometimes you wish you had a derrick to open your mouth. So much for getting it open -but the food, it just won't go down. That meal was torture and for the next three days you drink milk and water and then water and milk. Very tasty! A few days after you think you'll try something to eat. Mom brings a bowl of cream of wheat, without sugar and it tastes just like caviar. From then on it's pretty smooth sailing-once in a while a gremlin drills his dart in, a few minutes of stiffened Visage and relief. For a week you wait and wait for that swelling to go down-and then the terrible siege is over. The only consolation is-You Can Only Have 'Em Once!

Stained with the blood of Frenchmen, Of Danes, of Czechs, of P-oles, 'Of Russians, and Yfugoslavians, And a million other souls. That stain of blood so innocent Neither bleach nor soap can rid. He killed them all so cruelly, A dog at a rnaster's bid. The master, beast and tyrant, Intent to rule the world, Trampling down little nations Whose Iiags had scarce unfurled. Little babes of nations Born of a previous war, Fell while bravely fighting Struck down by the Monster's claw. He pushed them down regardless Of right and wrong and pain.

LESLIE LE BLANC, '46 -CHS- JOHNNY'S ADVENTURE 'It was a cold, rainy day in March. Johnny Downs made his way down the dismal street and into a hotel lobby. He was to see his uncle who had a room there. Stopping at the desk, Johnny asked the clerk the number of his uncle's room. 414, replied the queer little man at the desk. Go right up. Johnny thought he said 410 and went to that room. He didn't bother to knockg he went right in. There was no one in the outer room, and he was about to call for his uncle when he heard voices in the back room. None of those men sound like Uncle Jim, thought Johnny. He realized he must have made a mistake in the number of the room and started to leave quietly, but something one of the men said made him stop and listen. Okay, Duke, de truck will be ready dis evening at 11 o'clock. Pick up Butch at 'Joe's Place' an den go right to de dam. De dynamite is all planted. All dat you guys has gotta do is jest bump of de guards and start it of Johnny had heard enough. Quiet- ly he slipped out of the door and madly raced down to the lobby to call the cops. About five minutes later a squad car answered the call and stopped before the hotel. Johnny breathless- ly told his story to the amazed cops. Taking the stairs two at a time they reached the room and came up- on the 'astonished gang Begorry, me lad I cried the sur- prised Murphy. This is Hooker Joe, famous gang leader and for- mer murderer. The police have been looking for him for a long time. The next day the whole story was printed in bold type on the front page of every paper where every- one could read of the bravery of fourteen year old JohnnyVDowns. Later he was called to the police station and was thanked by many of the city officials. The city dam was saved and Johnny Downs was a national hero.

Radio certainly has changed the world. Could you find anyone, about thirty years ago, who would stand up in front of millions of people and say: Are you suffering from wash day blues? Then get Pamsie Wamsie Washing Soap with the hustle-bustle suds, that gets clothes eight to ten shades whiter than any other brand of leading wash-day soaps. Don't be a fool. Get it today. I can't imagine any man keeping a straight face when he reads this propaganda. Think of a married man reading: Have you beautiful fingernails -long and tapering? Have you beautiful eyebrows? If not then rush to the nearest drugstore and ask for 'Heavenly Bliss' Make-up Kit. This is only one phase of it. The quiz programs take the cake. The quiz master starts off with a ques- tion such as Who is president of the United States? A contestant promptly replies, Oh, I know that-Roo-Rooses- Roosevelt is right and here's a ten dollar bill, and now for your final question, who was chief of the Wampang tribe of Indians in the year 1555? Gosh, I don't know-. That's a shame. You lose the twenty dollars. Next contestant- And on goes the quiz program, far, far into the night. ESTHER PEASE, '44 -ons- THE CLASS OF '44 Al-most three full years we've been here At dear old 'Camden High, But we're still climbing up the ladder, And our one last ye-ar is nigh. Happiness, joy, and freedom Hourished, In the classes gone before, But little .did they dream That their future would go to war. So, step aside, you of '43, And we will take our stand To serve our last year faithfully, To travel, hand in hand. EVELYN SMALL, '44 DEATH WAS SWALLOWED UP Of course she loved him! Who Wouldn't? Look who he was. Ever since he had saved her life in the spring of that year when the terrible floods had made the rivers divert their courses to malicious de- struction, she had adored him. Now he was sentenced to die. But for what? His life had been devoted to the people whom he called his friends. It was all a misunderstand- ing, his innocence must be proved, but unless the Governor pardoned him he was doomed! Again, he thought-it was he who had found her and led her safely back to the camp that day, one sum- mer, when she had become lost deep in the woods of Belmont, their Summer Home. He was indeed her friend, perhaps more-. She sat quietly, staring moodily, waiting patiently for the word that she knew inevitably must come, the word of his death. She looked up, half expecting to hear the shot, but-what was this? Coming across the field was her A father, the governor, and in front of him-L i! I! Jim I she shrieked. Jim leaped forward covering her face with loving kisses, as she held him closely in her arms. I just couldn't do it, darling, the governor said weakly. Then looking at Jim, His pleading eyes, his spirited mien - perhaps We have wronged him. Jim barked and wafrged his tail.

The Megunticook 19 WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR RAID ' In black and White, I now present to you my opinion of what to do in case of an air raid. In the iirst place, why take pre- caution? If Hitler dropped some eggs on us they would be rotten any- way. Secondly, when a red light is flashed, turn on all of your hundred watt lights so the enemy won't get lost in the fog. Third, go out and wave your hand. Maybe it is someone you know or wish to make his acquaintance. Fourth, wave a fiashlight in the air, to let them know you are there. If in a baker shop, grab a pie or cake. If a bomb falls, pick it up to see what it is made of. Maybe you will learn something. If an incendiary bomb lands in your attic, go up and put a hundred pound force of water on it to make it burn more. Then you can collect your fire insurance. If a high explosive bomb drops, stand up and take it like a man. Do you want to go through life think- ing you are a coward, or do you want to go through life. Period. If in a gas attack, don't put on a gas mask. You don't want to be shut up in an old stuffy piece of canvas. Also jump into a crater hole to hide. When evacuating public build- ings, always remember the rule of sexes. Men first, women and chil- dren last. After all, was not Adam the HI'St person on earth? If a person needs first aid, don't give it to him. It is much easier to bury him than waste bandages. We must save for defense. If a bomb hits you, don't go to pieces, lie still and you won't be no- ticed. If you are spending a quiet even- ing with your girl, don't kiss her. Maybe you will kiss her mother or father. That would be worse than a direct hit. Those are a few major duties dur- ing an air raid or black out. Follow these few simple rules and I will guarantee a successful blackout for years to come. WILLIAM DAUCETT, '43 -CHS- DAYBREAK The moon shone through the clouds shedding an eerie light over the forest. The stars, what could be seen of them, were twinkling bright- ly. The branches of the giant trees shut out the light so completely, that in some places, nothing could be seen. The whole forest was silent but for a night owl who, now and then, gave vent to his emotionsby a weird, Whoo! Whool, and a few other night animals who moved cautiously about as if afraid of wak- ing those who slept. Soon the light of the moon wan- ed and the stars disappeared. The owl ceased hooting and prepared for his sleep while the sun shone. At Hrst there was only a faint glow over the distant mountains, then very slowly the sun ascended into the sky, turning it from the grey of dawn into a cloudless blue for the day. The forest creatures awoke and started moving about in search of something to eat. A new day was here. MABEL HERRICK, '43 -CHS- DEATH O'er meadow, o'er stream the fair haired knight Is riding on charger grey, He's being led by the guiding light To a land so far away. In splendor he takes this last long ride In armor that brillian-tly gleams. No servants are there close by his side, It is all as in a dream. His charger climbs a fiowered trail Their halts before a stair. The bold knight doffs his heavy mail And murmurs a sacred prayer. He climbs until within his sight A valley of gold he sees He takes a breath, out goes the light He's gone to eternal peace. ROBERT BRIDGES 20 The Megunticook CAMDEN HIGH SCHOOL JUKE BOX 1.

Gloria: Letting the neighbors use your telephone. HMURDERS OF THE RU-MOR It was ten o'clock. The town clock over on the Baptist church was striking ten, the streets were becoming nearly empty except for some who were returning from the local theater or engaging in some last minute shopping. Such was the case for Mrs. U. Tellum as she head- ed for old Mr. B1ack's grocery store, known to all as the Black Market. Mr. Black was in the store, getting ready to close for the night just be- fore Mrs. Tellum entered. He was busy putting a bottle of catsup back on the shelf. He reached up to de- posit the catsup on the shelf when his foot slipped and Mr. Black fell to the hard floor. The catsup broke all over the side of the shelf, most of it dropping on Mr. Black's fore- head. The fall rendered the old storekeeper unconscious and it was at this moment that the tovvn's best gossip, Mrs. U. Tellum, made her entrance. She opened her big mouth to tell Mr. Black that she needed a dozen eggs, when she spied him ly- ing there with the red liquid cover- ing his head. Mrs. Tellum screamed an ejaculation of fright and sur- prise and rushed out of the store and out to the street. Down the street she ran, howling as she Went. Soon she met Mrs. Spreadthenews, who was coming from the weekly mee'ing of the Ladies' Aid and Soc- ial Welfare Association. Oh, my dear Mrs. Spreadthe- news, panted the first lady. Mr. Black has been shot-I was just down to his store to get a dozen eggs and I found him lying there bleeding. Oh, it was terrible! I'm hunting for a policeman now, so I'lI have to hurry along. Oh, just a sec- ond, my dear, do you still have that recipe for upsidedown cake? I simply must have it. The L. A. and S. W. A. meets at my house next Wednesday. But really, I must be going along before Mr. Black dies. Mrs. Tellum went running down the street in her quest for the law, while Mrs. Millicent Spreadthenews ' The Megunticook 21 went in the opposite direction to tell her deaf friend, Agatha Rumor, about the shooting. She knocked on Mrs. Rumor's door, and the deaf lady appeared in a pink lace night- gown. I really can't stop a minute, Agatha dear, but Mrs. Tellum just told me that Mr. Black, the old man who owns the corner grocery has just been shot. She didn't find out who did it, but I've an inkling that it was one of those young Manners boys. They always were hoodlums, and that youngest one, Badd, had been in jail lots of times before. In spite of her ear trumpet, Mrs. Rumor heard only half what her friend had said. Well, I must be getting home now, nice to have seen you, Agatha, and do come over some evening, said the visitor. Yes, it is a nice evening, re- sponded Agatha Rumor. When Mrs. Spreadthenews had left, Mrs. Rumor went to the tele- phone and dialed her daughter, Miss Repeta Rumor, who was wait- ing in a beauty shop to have her hair set. Repeta answered the phone. Hello, Yes, this is Repeta Rumor, -Who?-Oh, it's you, Ma. What did you say? Badld Manners shot old Mr. Black? O. K. Thank you for the news, Ma. See you soon. - Repeta went to her seat to have her hair fixed, and told the late news to Miss Snoop Scoop, the re- porter's girl friend. Then Miss Scoop hurried down to meet her boy friend as they had a date for a dance out in the country. Did you hear the latest, Char- ley? queried Snoop of her fiance. Badd Manners shot Mr. Black, the storekeeper and stole all of his money, and is now on his way out of the city. Charley received the news with enthusiasm as he had had no news for that day. Just a second, dear, Charley said. I'll call the oflice, wait right here. The reporter went into the nearby drugstore and phoned his boss, the night editor. The editor answered. Hullo. Yeah, this is me.-Huh? Not so fast, let's get this straight. Yeah - yeah - yeah. O. K. 1'll read it back just to make sure. 'Badd Manners entered the store of Mr. Black tonight and killed him, rifled the safe, and made a complete getaway into the country! Kid, this is going to get you a promotion. It's strictly front page stuff. With this the editor hung up and went to the composing room. Joe, he bellowed, put this in for a front page headline-Storekeeper shot by Manners in daring holdup raid. Put in that the funeral is Sunday. By this time a cop had rescued Black, and everything was again under control. Before leaving his store, however, he remembered that he was going to have an ad in the daily paper. He called the Night City Editor and the busy newspaper- man answered again. Hello, yeah this is the Night City Editor. Who? WHO? Mr. Black, the storekeeper? Don't try to kid me, mister, and he hung up. Great was the surprise of Mr. Black when he opened his morning newspaper and saw the account of his death. He threw up his arms, blinked several times, and fainted dead away, falling 'against the cat- sup shelf and breaking another bottle. Mrs. Tellum was just enter- ing the store to get further details of the murder, when she saw Mr. Black still lying there prostrate on the floor. She screamed and went running out of the store, leaving the door banging behind her ...... Here we go again! SIDNEY MCKEEN, '44 -CHS- Audrey: Why do they call a car a 'she'? Leslie: Oh! I don't know unless it's because they cause so much trouble when you least expect it. 92 The Megunticook PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT The bell rang and the main room settled down for an hour of study. It was a bright, sunny day and it was much too hot to concentrate on a book. Norman opened his desk and took out a strip of paper. Then he began to tear off small pieces. He felt that he was getting skillful in throwing spitballs. Taking an elas- tic and inserting the piece of paper, he aimed carefully and plop-Bet- ty turned around angrily. Muttering threats she again turned to her studying. Only poor Betty was des- tined for Norman's victim that af- ternoon. For suddenly she jumped as a hard spitball bounced off her head. Norman was smiling with satisfaction. After all, practice makes perfect. Taking -careful aim he let go at a road map, which someone was studying industriously. Too bad, just a little to the left and it would have been a bull's eye. Oh, well, if at first you don't succeed try, try, again. Norman took aim again. Plop! Ah! he thought, I'm getting better all the time. Turning around to get another piece of paper, he was surprised to see someone standing beside his desk. COh! Ohlh Looking up he be- held Miss Keating, the teacher. Poor Norman. He was still sitting at his desk at four o'clock when I went home. DOROTHY WASGATT, '43 -CHS- Miss Keating: Cin Sophomore Englishj Jameson, give the verb forms of drink. Jameson: I drank yesterday. I drink today.

We are in a camp somewhere in New Guinea. As we go off duty we see a new group of boys arriving to replace those lost in the last month. They are typical fliers, happy, cocky, joking, and yet, underneath it all, serious, hoping to finish the job quickly and get back home. We are introduced to some of them. They take us to the ofHcer's club for a drink or a dance. We are eager to hear any news which they have brought from the States and are overjoyed if we happen to meet someone from our own home state or town. Late at night we part and all try to get what sleep we can. The next day the new boys are as- signed to regular ships and patrols. During the afternoons when the first patrols are back, they start to bring in the wounded. That pale face and distorted form is a bom- bardier to Whom we were introduc- ed on the night of his arrival. That pitiful armless creature who stares at us as we go by is a young rear- gunner who brought fresh cigaret- tes into camp with him. That mangl- ed figure with the blanket over its face is a Captain who danced with us on the moonlight beach to music supplied by the C0lonel's phono- graph. As we hear the sunset patrol take off we wonder when it will be over and if it is all necessary, and why? SARAH HARY, '43 -CHS- THE OLD SCHOOL BUS For three years now I've stood the test 'Of riding in a Dodge that's blesse-d Witih rattles, knocks, and broken springs, And many other different things.

I't's the best school in the state of Maine, I boasted-that was plain to see, And the greatest class to ever leave Was the Class of '43. Without hesitation I chatt-ered on, Let me tell you some of them: There was Frederiicka A-miborn from Lin- colnville, A true scholar and swell frienld. And Leslie Ames-ofh, he was in love! He finally did buy Gra.ssow's farm- And there was pretty Ruth Manning Bfy! what class and charm. We also 'had a musician Who -used to 'slap that bass,' .His name was Robert Bridges May Young kept him in place. We also had two Bryant boys, Brothers-and were they tallg We've tried to keep up with them both But in height they beat us all. We had some quiet folks in our class One was Everett Collemer. We wondered if he were quiet always 'Dot' would know-we could ask her. Another was Bernice Cunningham A most petite little lass. And another was Ruth Nickerson The 'business pupil' of our class. Along with the quiet ones there were Plenty of noisy ones to show, One was Beverly Grover Had a swell disposition-and a 'beaul' Another was Marilyn Greenlaw A case if I ever saw one. She could think up anything And was always full of fun. Then of course our class had its lovers As classes always will- Polly and Frank, Betty and Norman And also June and Bill. Then Esther Norwood was looking f-or- ward To a happily married life, Patiently C21 waiting for graduation To become an 'Army Wife!

The Opera House was decor- ated by Frances Dearborn to repre- sent a corn field and farm yard com- plete with chopping block and axe, corn stalks, apples, pumpkins, squashes, etc. The stage was alight with the polished faces of the new comers, as they went through their routines. Some of the high lights of the even- ing were: a diet of angleworms by the Marshall brothers, Kip Burkett chasing Stephen McGrath around with an axe, the Whirling Ryders and the Dainty Dew Drops. Mr. Shibles was going to honor us with the speech, Mother Murphy's Men- tal Meatballs -but owing to an ac- cident he left his notes at home. He substituted with an oration on Cows. Mr. Hammond spoke for two minutes on the pleasing subject of Nothing Freshman Week was observed by the girls wearing no cosmetics, neckties, boys' garters, two differ- ent types of shoes. The boys wore shirts back-side to, odd shoes and stockings, and green neckties. Both girls and boys were present- ed with drooling cups which were hung around their necks. All in all it was a very pleasant week for all but the Freshmen. The Clean-up Committee enjoyed a lunch the next day from the left over refreshments. -CHS- SENIOR PLAY The Senior Play was presented in the Camden Opera House, March 19, 1943 to a capacity crowd. For the first time in C. H. S. history, it was necessary to turn people away with the sign, Full House. The The Megunlicook 29 comedy, Every Family Has One, written by the well-known play- wright, George Batson, was greatly enjoyed by the audience. . When you're about to marry your daughter to a member of the 400 and the family skeleton appears, then things begin to happen-and fast. That is just what happened to the Reardons. Laura Reardon, the mother, is a social climber who tells tales about her glorious ancestry. She is deliriously happy because she has engineered a match between her daughter, Marcia, and wealthy Sherwin Parker. The youngest Reardon, Penelope, is a demon with a sling shot and the piano. Warry, the only son, is positive he is the coming Eugene O'Neill. Reginald, the father, would rather tinker with the automobile than ticker tape, and Nana, the wise-cracking grand- mother, is only concerned with Bing Crosby records and getting rid of the Parkers. Nana succeeds with the help of Cousin Lily, an adorable liar from down home with stage as- pirations. Lily arriving unexpected- ly agrees to impersonate another Cousin Lily if Nana will get her a stage job. Lily reveals some lurid facts that shock the Parkers so much they take to their heels with little urging. Marcia marries the boy she really loves and everyone is happy again. The cast: Mrs. Reardon Mr. Reardon Penelope Warry Reardon Nana Reardon Marcia Reardon Frieda Johnson Robert Bridges Beverly Grover John McKeen Ruth Grindle Pauline Freytag Mr. Parker Vernard Merrifield Mrs. Parker Margaret Thomas Sherwin Parker Frank Knight Essie, the maid Marilyn Greenlaw Lily Reardon Mary Meservey Todd Galloway William Daucett The success of the play was due to the grand direction of Miss Ethel Oliver.

On February 8, 1943, the band participated in the launching of the Pine Tree I, sponsored by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. All members were present at this occasion, and there was a large turnout by all the townspeople. Once again Mr. Charles C. Wood entertained the Schools Band at the Annual Easter Breakfast, after which the Band escorted the Com- 32 The Megunticook mandery to the Methodist Church. Mr. Wood's breakfast was much en- joyed and an invitation was cordial- ly extended for next Easter.

The members of the band who attended were: Nellie Ames, Fred- erick Heald, Patricia Magee, Gen- eva Knight, and Minetta Johnson.

Under the able direction of Coach Dailey, the team won five of their eight league contests. The hurling was divided mainly between Wright and McFarland while the three top hitters were McGrath, Marriner, and Wright. McGrath and Marriner also chipped in a homerun apiece.

This course consists of intensive physical train- ing. A Radio Induction Course as giv- en by the Army was started this spring instructed by Miss Ethel Oliver. PORTS Mustangs started a curtailed sched- ule on New Year's night with only two of last year's squad on the ros- ter and went through their war- shortened list of games, winning one league contest while dropping seven. The boys spotted their oppon- ents the advantage of experience and height, with many a six-footer on the squad. Their aggressiveness was an aiding factor, but that alone was not enough. With eight of the ten boys returning next winter, the season shapes up to be a successful one. In the latter part of the season, Coach Dailey was out for a few weeks with pneumonia, and Mrs. Dailey very graciously gave her time in keeping the practice going and coaching several games for which the team is extremely grate- ful. The games: Veterans Vanquish High School 64-10 With Manny Fairbrother, Howard Dearborn, and Tex Wellman laying in 60 points between them, the issue was never in doubt and turned out to be merely an exhibition in shoot- ing by the Alumni. Center Ray Al- len led the High School, tossing in half his team's points. 64 The Megunticook The Army Takes Over 63-18 The High School suffered its sec- ond straight licking at the hands of the boys in khaki in another pre- season contest. Zwieck of Company C showed the crowd how it was done by netting a total of twenty- seven points. Jack McKeen was high for the High School. Camden Wins First League Contest at Newcastle Playing its first league game away from home, the C. H. S. bas- keteers turned back their taller Lin- coln Academy adversaries to the tune of 24-19. Every member of the starting Iive scored in the battle and Camden's second wartime bas- ketball season was underway. Lime City Boys Take C.H.S. 20-7 A game in which the score looked more like that of 'a football game than of a hoop contest was the first 1943 home game which saw the neighboring rivals overpower the locals in a low-scoring affair 20-7. The scoring was quite evenly divid- ed among the Camden boys while Stan McCurdy took scoring honors for Rockland. Camden Gets a Peek at the Pekes The Camden High team bowed again three nights later to a high- powered Thomaston quintet. The locals came to the front in the final minutes but it was too late for them to avert a thirteen-point loss to the Thomaston boys who were led by Kelly with eleven markers. Mustangs Bow to Rockport 30-26 Behind their tall center, the Rockport hoopsters shot their way to a four point win over the locals. Rockport maintained a small advan- tage through the entire game and managed to eke out the victory. Dick Brown led Camden with eight points. Thomaston Trounces Camden Team By 56-18 Tune Forwards Kelly and Chapman just couldn't be stopped on their own floor and broke through the ragged Camden defense time and again for easy push-up shots to salt away a convincing win. Guard Bill Daucett was high for C.H.S., laying five points through the mesh. Mack Chapman and Kelley scor- ed 31 points between them. Rockland Wins - Camden Sinks In League Standing We did it before and we can do it again seemed to be the Rockland boys' theme song as they took a 38- 19 decision from the sinking Cam- den High basketeers. Although weakened by the loss of Stalwart Stan McCurdy, the formidable foes fought to their second win over the Mustangs. Lefty Grindle led the Camden scoring while F. S. Al- len was the outstanding Lime City man. Rockport Does It Again 39-29 The second meeting of these two squads was almost a personal af- fair between Bold Basil Bryant and Six-Footer Deane. Bryant scor- ed 17 points in a losing Camden cause while Deane chipped in 14 to the Rockport total. As in the first Camden-Rockport game, the Rock- porters held a slight margin throughout the contest and thus gave Camden the cellar position in the Knox-Lincoln league. L. A. Takes Camden in Final League Game The February 19th meeting of Camden and Lincoln Academy marked the last league game for Camden for 1943. The game was a Very close affair. The first period ended even. Camden led at the half, lost the lead at the three-quarter mark and went on to lose the game when French served up the game for Newcastle 24-20 in the final round.

The team this year played better, on the whole, than last year, and there is still much hope for next year with many veteran play- ers returning plus the present excel- lent freshman team. The season ended with three wins, five losses, and one tie. Anna Galanti was high scorer for the year with Ruth Man- ning second. At this time we want to thank Millie Dailey for coaching us during the absence, due to sick- ness, of Coach Dool. The squad this year was compos- ed of the following girls: Seniors: June Kelley, Manager Beverly Grover, Sarah Hary, and Captain Ruth Manning: Juniors: Nellie Ames, Anna Galanti, Lucille Dwin- al, Helene Foster, Beverly Upton, Dorothy Robbinsg Freshmen: Kath- erine Libby, Vilma Colson, Christine Goodman, Joan Greenlaw, Virginia Fish, Shirley Cookson, Mary Galan- ti, and Edna Rankin. Camden vs. Alumnae 22-21 'Alumnae took the lead the first half with a score 16-12. In the last half the Camden girls, determined to win, fought hard, putting the score one point in their favor, 22-21. Ames starred for Camden with Dickens and G. Ames as the oden- sive stars. Camden vs. Lincoln at Lincoln 15-34 The first league game resulted in a loss for the Camden lassies. Lin- coln held the lead all through the game to beat Camden 34-15. Peggy Parsons sank 22 points for the op- posing team. Camden vs. Rockland 19-18 For the first time in years Camden beat Rockland in the best game of the season. Camden held the lead by fighting hard and with determin- ation. Score: 18-19. Blackman sank 12 of Rockland's points. Manning scored 11 points for Camden while Hary and Kelley held down the visitors in the guard section. Camden vs. Thomaston 16-16 Thomaston held the lead for three quarters, but Camden came through in the last minutes to tie the game 16-16. There was a little difiiiculty in the last quarter with the opposing team in the matter of one point, but all ended well. Rose and Porter were high scorers for the rival team with A. Galanti and Ames for Camden. Camden vs. Rockport at Rockport 28-34 Rockport trailed behind the first half, but the second half they tied the score and with both teams fight- ing in the last minutes to gain pos- session of the ball, Daucett sank two baskets to win the game 34-28. Daucett chalked up 19 points for the rival team. E. Upton starred for the home team with 11 points. Camden vs. Thomaston at Thomas- ton 24-32 Camden held the opposers the first two quarters, but in the third quarter the Black and White took and retained the lead until the end of the game. Score: 32-24. Manning 36 The Megunticook and Galanti scored 11 points each for Camden. Porter and Crie were high scorers for Thomaston. Camden vs. Rockland at Rockland 29-35 In the hardest fought game of the League, Camden lost to Rockland in the last quarter. The two teams were tied for three quarters, but in the last quarter, due to the loss of Camden guards on fouls, we drop- ped behind by six points with the final score 35-29. It was the biggest disappointing defeat of the season. Witham, as usual, was high scorer for the Orange and Black with 19 points. A. Galanti scored 13 points for the home team, followed by Manning with 10 points. Camden vs. Rockport 28-10 During the first half it appeared as if the game were going to be close, however, in the last half the Camden Lassies popped in the bas- kets from all angles and won the game 28-10. Upton sank seven bas- kets, Galanti- six. Much of the suc- cess Was due to Kelly and Foster in the guard section. Daucett was high scorer for the rivals. Camden vs. Lincoln 21-40 There was little doubt as to the winner of this game from the begin- ning. Lincoln, the Champions, took the lead by 11 points in the first quarter and kept ahead all through the game. Peggy Parsons and Trask were stars of the evening. Score: 40-21. -CHS- INTER-CLASS GAMES In the first game of the Camden High Interclass basketball contests, the Freshmen girls met and defeat- ed the Sophomore girls 31-22 be- hind the expert shooting of Rankin and Galanti. In the second game of the afternoon, the Sophomore boys ran over their elders, the Senior boys, to the tune of 36-16.
