Well you see, Mr. Wood, it's like this-. NELLIE AMES, '44 -CHS- THEY CALL ME CRAZY I'm a little Fire-Bug Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! I saw the fire engine 'Going up the street. So I jumped up, And .lit a match: Threw it in the closet, 'Cgosing tight the latch. Soon the smoke was coming Out around the door. I felt very happy, And sat upon the floor. Soon the room was blazing, Then the ceiling, too. The roaring noise did soothe me, The hea-t, it warmed me through. I heard an awful pounding. fIt'.s just my heart, I thoughtj They tell me here it was the ax, That all the neighbors brought. Here in this lonely, lonely place, They keep me in a room, Wit.h bars upon the windows, And all around me-Gloom! I long for brightly burning fires, And crackling of fiame. I don't know why they keep me It's really quite a shame! fJust because -J I'm a little Fire-Bug Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!! And I heard the fire engine Clanging up the street. ALMA SLEEPER, '44 here. Is it possible? So soon? We'll soon be sca-ttered from East to West, Some here and others there. 'Our years of childhood are nearly done, And days so free from care. The boys will probably go to war, We, girls, must do our parts, 'Givfng them encouragement To fight with all their hearts. When victory is finally ours, And this reign of terror is o'er, We must strive to keep everlasting peace, And peace within our door. Good-bye, good-bye old Camden High. Farewell to all the class. Good luck to each and every one Thiough all the years to pass. ALMA .S'LEE.PER, '43 -CHS- UNITED WE STAND United we stand Our c.hins in the air, A prayer in our hearts For our boys over there, And ever so proud That they answered the call .Let us hope there'll not be- A divided we fall. Uniteld we stand To fight for our rights, And away over there On dark, lonely nights 'Our brave boys 'are fighting. 'They'll lick the foe And after it's done- Homeward they'll go.

llllllll lltiltll lf! 1 f -' ,- if ,fp- gi CLASS POEM A girl stepped up to me today With a most peculiar air, And started talking of 'Cam-den High. I said, I was graduated there! 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! From Rockport we had a classmate Marilyn Cripps of Cripps's Dairy She was as sweet as sh-e could be Anld 100W for the Navy. We also fhaid a Georgia girl Who had that southern drawl She ha-d a sweetheart in the Air Corps And could be told by that 'How yo' alll' We also lhad some bashful girls. About Mabel Herrick I can't say a word But Dot Wasgatt-10-h, yesg She was for the Army, we heard. Our class Frieda and Frieda was While Riba T'he other 'Goldie and Gol-die was While Glor Maine. .had tw-o sets of twins. Rita Johnson were one pairg more for the 'Hardy' type, the 'Russell'ing type did care were the Hansen twins Gloria by name. all for the Coast Guard ia leaned toward Rockport, The -one who always 'had a joke ready Was Priscilla Crawford from Hope, And Gertrude Heal-very business-like Wi-th always a problem to cope. Our 'Young Genius,' Herbert Mann Was the one who was always late. If 'he -ever arrived at school on time We all took note 'of the date. Our valedictorian was Isabel Payson And who could ask for more. Besides Qher studying was another ho-bby And I do mean-Leon Dorr. There were three boys who left school To go to Maritime Academy in May.
