How many times have you heard these four words before? You have not only heard them but said them yourself. Vol- umes have bden written to keep our morale high, our courage strong, but enough can not be said to the youth of America to make us realize the impor- tance of today. Make today count for tomorrow! should be our motto. The urge of 'teen age boys now in high school is to get into it, to leave dreary school work, to see action before the war is ended. They might argue, Isn't it our patriotic duty to join the armed forces? Of course it is, but it is also their patriotic duty to be re- sponsible for our post-war problem. A few shrug off the question, What will you do after the war? with the carefree answer, Let the future take care of itself. But will the future take care of itself unless it has help and guidance today? It would indeed be an unprogressive world if we, the youth of today, did not get our high school diplomas and were unable to obtain further education. Who will run our government after this war? The men now in office cannot live for- ever. They cannot carry on their should- ers the care and affairs of State with the strength of Atlas or with the longevity of Methuselah. There must be young men to replace them, young men with ambition and originality. The post war settlement must be a lasting agreement between countries. This war must be the war to end all wars! If we are not successful in this peace planning, in an- other twenty or thirty years war lords will again gather around a table and make plans for the destruction of civil- ized people. Youth of America, do your part, stay in the fight, learn all you can while you can. Build tomorrow today!! Philip Wentworth, '44 -C HS- MAIL FOR MORALE Perhaps you are wondering why it is necessary for any one to write on this subject. It is vitally necessary. Few peo- ple realize just what a letter from home or from that certain someone can THE MEGUNTICOOK BOARD Seated tleft to rightJ- Minetta Johnson, Patricia Magee, Philip Wentworth, Nellie Ames Standing left to rightl- Charlotte Lunn, Esther Pease, Edward Burke, John Williams, Frances Dailey, Sidney McKeen mean to a serviceman. Most people think that if they write a few lines once in a while that they are doing their part. This definitely is not true. When a man suddenly leaves civilian life to go to a training camp, he undergoes a great change. He gets lonely and homesick. He wonders what is going on back home and if everything is all right. He thinks a lot and is apt to get moody and des- pondent, especially if he gets only a few letters. That is why we must write as often as possible. And I don't mean spasmodically. We should have regular times for writing and never skip. If any- thing we should add a few. The greatest problem of most people is: What kind of letter should I write? Your letter should be happy. cheerful, and optimistic. By this I don't mean to let him think that the folks at homo are a 'Ubunch of feather-brained idiots. Let laim understand that we know there's a war on, and that we are doing all we can to support it. Many, however, write a letter that is filled with woe, com- plaint, and pessimism. These letters make the men worry and take their minds from whatever they are doing. This, we know, is not right. What, then, shall we write about? Tell him what you are doing everyday, where you go, etc. Tell him any humor- ous incident that has occurred since last you wrote. Tell him news about his friends. Often he has no other way of knowing about them. Certainly he has no time to keep track of all of them, but THE MEGUNTICOOK 5 that doesn't mean that he isn't interested. If you are in school, tell him about your and activities. He went to and will be in sympathy school work school once with all the musts of school life. If he is a sports fan, you can write an especially good letter. Everybody likes a good, friendly argument, and the best way to keep it friendly is to write your views rather than express them orally. Tell him your opinion as to what teams are best and who is going to be cham- pion boxer. Ask him about his life at camp. If he is allowed to tell you anything about it, he will. A person away from home likes nothing better then to have someone to tell his troubles to. You can be that someone if you will. These are only a few of the many things that fill up a good letter. Write often to the members of your family and to your friends who are in the service. Mail means more to them than anything else in the world. Don't let them down. Write a letter now, another as soon as you can, and keep on writing-often. Minetta Johnson, '44 -CHS- SATAN'S INSTRUMENT OF DESTRUCTION The following is the prize winning essay written by Patricia Magee for the Tem- perance Essay Contest between Camden and Rockport High Schools. Alcohol-Satan's instrument of de- struction! Yes,-it sounds horrible, doesn't it? But it is the truth, neverthe- less. What a tragedy it is indeed to look upon the misery of the so-called human wrecks of life, to see the devastating effect of alcohol, and to know, had it not been for the use of this drug, they would have lived a happy, normal life, free from untold suffering to themselves and to those with whom they came in con- tact. Why did they do it? It is said that in times of sorrow these weak people yield to drink, knowing for the moment, at least, their minds will become as in a fog, and their sorrow will vanish. Also, there are those who are by na- ture timid and desire to gain courage by this means. They indulge in drink-they like the exhilarating effect-the confi- dence it gives them-they drink more and more-and before they realize what is happening to them they have devel- oped the habit and have drunk to the health of the one who lies in the heart of the wine. But when the fog lifts, their grief is greater than before, because they know all too well what destruction they have wrought, how they have weakened them- selves, and are filled with bitterness and self-condemnation. Many have overcome this weakness and thus have won back their self-re- spect of their fellowmen. My admiration for these people is great. Youth of America-it is your privilege and duty to set the example for the great spiritual world to come-a world in which peace and love are the domi- nant factors. It is a great challenge. Let's all do it to the best of our ability, and above all, with love in our hearts for our fellowmen. Patricia Magee, 45 -CHS- PRAYER AT SUNSET As the sun goes down behind the hills And the twilight takes its stand, Let's breathe a prayer of gratitude For our boys in a distant land. Sunset with all its magic At the close of a long weary dayg Sunset with all its splendor Helps to guide us on our way. Let's say an evening prayer at sunset, That hour when the day is done. Let's pray that with each tomorrow A new victory may be won. Geneva Knight '44 Q SLNIUR SEIITIUN 4 4 CLASS OF '44 A prophecy I'll make for '45 Before leaving Camden High Most of the boys will be in service To them I'Il say goodbye. But before my classmates and I part, I wish to leave this thought: If ever you feel you need a friend, Don't hesitate to call on Dot. Three of the class took up flying- Walter, Willis and Bill- But Sidney, being just a boy, Is a civilian writer still. The Navy has made quite a catch, It got both Philip and Eddie, And Ida and a soldier boy Are really going steady. Connecticut has got Bev. Upton She gets to work on time. And being quite a psychologist Jay Bracey is studying crime. Frances has become an artist, I hear she's doing well. And what will happen to Laurie, Even I wouldn't attempt to tell. Anna is working for Castro-Walshg It's amazing how fast she sews. Joe has taken up farming As his part in fighting foes. Jimmy Ball still likes hunting, Only this time he's hunting Japs. While Richard Ames' time is spent Studying location maps. Nellie's a physical educatorg She's teaching children's sports. While Freddy Heald works on his farm Supplying the Army's forts. Evelyn Small has a steady job Of figuring interest in a bankg And instead of fixing cars, Louis is now repairing tanks. The quiet members of the class- Both Dot Coathup and Dot Baird- Are teaching, in ten easy lessons, How to Keep From Getting Mad. Doris Decker's on a vacation trip, She's driving around to the car, While Thelma Judkins' having trouble Answering the call of Ma, Helen Efiton and her one and only, Are still going around in a trance. While Minetta's time is taken up, Teaching soldiers how to dance. We have a beautician in our midst- Her name is Geneva Knight. And Helene Foster heads a camp To all the girls' delight. Audrey, Virginia, Flora, and Ruth Make up a part of Hope. Now, Shirley works in Baldwin's Cleaners Using up a lot of soap. Erwin is working in an office And doing fine, I hear, At present, Charles is taking time To hunt a little deer. I hardly ever see Ellie Lou She works in the store all the time. Barbara has a job in a restaurant And gets tipped no less than a dime. The mill has acquired Ruth Freeman, While Pauline has left this town, And Lucille is now away to school Studying the use of a noun. Now Connie, Esther, and Charlotte Are now becoming nurses. And as that takes care of the class It also ends my verses.

Did I feel small. I studied, and studied, and studied And I didn't dare fool at all. I bowed to the mighty Seniors And I admire them with awe. Would I ever be as smart as they? Determined I tightened my jaw. As my sophomore year came upon me And the studying wasn't quite so light, I let my assignments slide, And my ranks took a downward flight. However, I struggled through the year- Latin's Ceasar was a fight! And X in that complicated algebra Just never would come out right. At last I was Junior- Just another year to go, And then I would be out in the world, Doing what-I do not know. Geometry set hard on me With all its angles and lines, I may have ,done the lessons But the brainwork was not mine. But at the end of the year- When rank cards came out, I was that mighty Senior- Without the slightest doubt. And now that I'm a Senior To all underclassmen I plea If you want to be a success- Don't ever copy me. For now four years are almost gone, And a lot of fun I've had. But as to my ranks in the schoolwork They really are quite bad. So come on all you Freshmen, Work hard and study long. You have three big years ahead of you To do right what I did wrong. Nellie M.

It was told to me by a little cold lady who lived near my grandfather's. She had beautiful white hair, sparkling eyes, and could make the best little currant cakes I ever tasted. When I took her wild flow- ers, she would always say, Come in child, and sit down and eat a little cake while I tell you a story. Then she would begin. A long time ago when I was young like you-. It seems there was a family by the name of Yarrow who used to live on a farm near one of our western Maine rivers. There was Jim, a hard-working young farmer, Tamie, his wife, and their six year old boy, Toby. In the late summer some of the men who had gone down on the log drives would travel back up the River Road to go into the woods again. There was one who had al- ways stopped for a night's lodging and a meal or two with the Yarrows ever since they were married. He was Dan Calloway, a gaunt giant of a man to whom Jim and Tamie had become quite attached. The year our story opens he arrived just at nightfall accompanied by an awkward, red pup with a long ropy tail. The old fellow had been down with the fever and still seemed very sick and weak. f , - is Y Jim and Tamie put the old logger to bed, but he grew steadily worse through the night, speaking only with difficulty. Finally he whispered. Thank ye, Jim, all I got to give ye is Brick. He ain't much to look at, but he's wo-rth keepin'. His mother was a no count female, but his father was the fightin'est dog on the river. He shall be Toby's dog, Dan, prom- ised Jim pressing the old man's hand. Old Dan Calloway had made his last trip into the woods. The dog soon worshipped his devoted young master and many were the ad- ventures they shared. There was Toby's first day at school when Skip Harkness smeared wagon grease on Toby's face. Brick, who was never very far away, heard his master's cries, and soon, ar- rived on the scene, removed the seat from the bully's trousers, and escorted Toby home in triumph. The summer Toby was eight a travel- ing pedler with a bony old horse, red cart, and a big white dog on the seat be- side him, drove up and stopped in the dooryard. While he was trying topinduce Tamie to buy some gaudy shawls and laces, the dog trotted up to the d-oor of the woodshed where Pansy, Tamie's lit- tle gray cat, and her four kittens were sitting. Pansy flew at him and stood TI-IE MEGUNTICOOK - 13 growling and spitting on the threshhold. Just then Jim drove around the corner of the barn with a load of hay, Toby and Brick with him on the load. Brick took in the situation at a glance, shot from the load like an arrow, and rushed to the rescue. The white dog was so intent on teasing the cat he never sensed dan- ger until Brick set his teeth in his throat. The big dog leaped backward dragging his antagonist with him. Over and over they went snarling and slashing. Toby stood by his father's side with quivering chin. The pedler grabbed his whip, but Jim warned him back. It was to be a fair fight. At last red foam began to drip from the white dog's mouth and with one last plunge he fell limp over the victor. Only then did Brick let go his grip and dragged himself, bloody, torn, and trembling to the side of his master, eyes still green with the glint of battle. Jim picked Brick up and carried him to Tamie to dress his wounds. The pedler fussed and fumed but at last threw the body of the white dog into his cart and drove off up the River Road. Later one day that same fall when the oak leaves were dark and shiny, just like Tamie's hair Jim used to say, Jim, Tamie and Toby Went to Hempstead 15 miles down the river to get supplies, leaving Brick on guard. Returning they found no dog. Jim, T-oby, and the neighbors searched for him, but all the clues seem- ed to have no ending. It was reported that the pedler with the red cart had been seen in a nearby town on the day of Brick's disappearance but no trace of him could be found. That winter Toby caught cold and didn't seem to get over it. Kind old Doc- tor Wheelock came over from Pem- broke, but the little boy grew weaker and weaker. One windy March night Toby was ly- ing on the couch in the kitchen when there came a scratch at the door. It's Brick, he's come home, he cried. Jim sprang to the door and opened it. A gaunt red dog limped across the room, put his paws up on the couch and licked Toby's check, laid his head beside that of his little master. The boy's arms went around the thin neck of the dog. Jim drew Tamie down beside him on the wide old chimney-seat, and peace and quiet settled over the room, broken only by an occasional low, reassuring thump, thump of the ropy tail on the floor. Here the old lady looked away across the fields. Then turning to me again she murmured half to herself, That was a happy spring. I think, our happiest. Were you there? I asked. Yes, child, she answered softly, I was Tamie. Flora Pease, '44 SNOW DREAMS As Mom and I one evening, Were strolling down the street, The snow began falling gently, Covering us from our head to our feet. It was one of those silent snowstorms Which seem so still and serene, And we gazed about us in wonder, As it all seemed so like a dream. The trees soon wore coats of ermine, And the ground a blanket of white, As the evening shadows lengthened, Changing twilight into night. As we wandered silently hand in hand, We paused 'neath a bright street light, To watch each drifting crystal swirl Like stardust out of the night. And my thot's in comparison wander, To a warmer sunnier clime, Where someone we love is fighting, And I miss you, brother of mine. I think of you constantly, brother, And when snows begin to fall, I remember the walks we used to have, Happy memories I recall. And, dear, when this war is over And we've won our victory, Life for us will be even better, And for all boys across the sea. Maxine Duffell '46 -lCH'S- 14 THE MEGUNTICOOK A SAGA IN THE MELODRAMATIC His tail flying straight out from his back into the breeze, Catch-Me-If-You- Can carried his rider down into the rocky gulch. The rain the night before had honey-combed the rocks, leaving the path somewhat hazardous, but Catch-Me-If-You-Can did not falter as he picked his way steadily onward to finish the last few miles of his journey homeward. The rider, Percival Baxter by name, a short, fat, bald man with bushy eye- brows, about forty years of age, seated arrogantly on his horse, thought. His thoughts were of his father's home, the home to which he was now hastening. He hated the place and had called his father crazy to have ever bought a house so far from civilization that one had to ride horseback for miles over rough terrain in order to get there. The lacy shadows of the summer af- ternoon were growing into blankets of heaviness as dusk fell upon the valley. Leaving Catch Me-If-You-Can with the stable boy, Percival waddled into the dark gloomy mansion. A servant said his father was up stairs in the library. As he climbed the heavy oaken stairs, he was filled with the dread of meeting once again this man, his father, to whom his mother had given her youth and strength only to have died of a broken heart when he decided he loved her no more. Percival wondered if he could stand to live in the same house with this man whom he had grown to despise in spite of blood relationship. Entering the library, Percival saw through blurred eyes stirred up with emotion and gin the figure of his father seated at his desk apparently quite un- aware of the presence of his son. Percival cleared his throat to make room for words. No response. Papa, uttered Percival. Still no response. But what was this? Suddenly Percival real- ized the truth-his old man could not re- spond because his old man was quite dead. Dead from the result of an over dose of self pity taken constantly since the departure of his beloved wife. She had been his financier for forty faithful years, but now his beloved wife was gone and he could no longer pay his in- come tax! Philip Wentworth, '44 -CHS- DIARY OF A MARINE Sunday: Landed on a small island near Ba- taan this morning at 3:15. Started set- ting up our equipment as soon as pos- sible. All of us are exhausted tonight but don't dare to go to sleep for fear we won't wake up again. Monday: A Japanese scouting plane went over this afternoon, flying low. We kept down and within ten minutes he was out of sight. Tuesday: Some of the men haven't slept since we landed-eaten very little. Haven't seen any Japanese on the island as yet. Wednesday: A Jap plane, identical to the one seen a few days ago, was spotted a few miles south of the island. Thursday: Sent out a few men to make contact with the scouting party that left a while ago. Found two men dead-one with his head smashed in, and the other riddled with shot. This proves that we have ene- mies within a few miles of us. Can't find the rest of the men but intend to keep searching. Some of the men are getting jittery. Friday: One of the boys was shot in the back while going from the barracks to a clearing. The rest of the scouting party came back this afternoon with the re- ports that there are Jap snipers on the north side of the island. Saturday: Have had all buildings and equipment set up quite some time. Seems good to get out of this hot sun for a few hours' rest. For two weeks there was no entry made so it is presumed that nothing of importance occurred during this period. Saturday: A Jap plane came over this morning. It swooped down so quickly that we THE MEGUNTICOOK I5 didn't have time to get under cover. Twelve men were killed and two wound- ed. Sunday: Had brief services for the men killed yesterday. Some of the boys are coming down with a fever. One is quite ill. Monday: Five Jap bombens went over today. Dropped several bombs. One landed so close that the shrapnel injured quite a few men. A boy of about eighteen years brought in our first Jap. A sniper that had gone asleep and fallen out of a tree. The Jap doesn't look very old, either. He doesn't talk much, but watches everything we do. Tuesday: I'm beginning to feel a little sick, my- self. Could be fatigue, and it could be the fever that a lot more are ill with. Our provisions are running low. Hope we get some more within two weeks. Three men died today of the everlasting fever. Wednesday: Expect another raid. Not very many men left here. Reports were made that quite a few Japanese landed on the oth- er side of the island last night. We're going to investigate. Thursday: Ran into a large nest of Japs. They killed quite a few of our men. There aren't enough of our men to stop the Japs, but we're going to try. Friday: Tried to storm the Jap nest by sur- prise, but they wiped out all but 58 of us. They're closing in on us, slowly, but we're not giving up hope. A little ammu- nition and supplies would help us a lot now. If we do get some, things will be O. K. for a while, but if we don't, you know the rest. Helen Eaton, '44 -CHS- SAY IT WITH MUSIC It was In the Good Old Summer Time when Sunbonnet Sue met Ben Bolt down by The Old Mill Stream. She was wear- ing her Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown, and he asked her if she would care to take a ride on his Bicycle Built for Two. They rode By the Banks of the Wabash until The Wise Old Owl came out for the evening. Returning home By the Light of the Silvery Moon, they turned sharply to avoid hitting Old Black Joe and ran into a tree. Sunbonnet Sue screamed Scatterbrain as Ben Bolt got up rubbing himself and saying I Won- der if You Feel the Way I Do. Ben Bolt borrowed an Old Gray Mare from the Farmer in the Dell. If the Old Gray Mare has been as speedy as Ferdinand, The Bull they might have reached home be- fore Three O'clock in the Morning. Sun- bonnet Sue now wishes that she had put on her Old Gray Bonnet and gone with her mother to Aunt Dinal1's Quilting Party. Evelyn Small, '44 -CHS- HIGH SCHOOL BOOK LIST FOUR YEARS IN PARADISE ....

This battle will not be a failure, But a victory that will long live. Many sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers Are all in the strife to win. We must win To make this world a democracy. When all the men and women return, There will be a celebration of joy. Some of those who went into battle Will ne'er return to us. But the memory of them, Will long live in our hearts. We will make this world Into one which they died for. ' Long may the deeds they did Lie in every one's hearts and minds. Bev. Upton '44 -CHS- SECONDS T0 SPARE The quarter of eight bell rang. Up- stairs there was a terrible commotion. Bang went the bedroom door! Zing! Crash! A whirlwind came down the stairs, it whizzed past the breakfast table and grabbed a doughnut. Bang! went the front door, a streak went to- ward the garage. Out came the trusty steed. and it zoomed. It roared past the square, upset one man and hit another. He careened past the grade school- 7:58. Crash! went the school door as it streaked in. The streak whizzed for the Main Room. Would it make it or wouldn't it? At 59 minutes and 50 sec- onds of eight it reached that haven and went for a seat. Wow! panted Fred, that was close! Frances Stanley, '46 LAUGH THAT ONE OFF One cold day, the last of February after an especially heavy snow storm, Horace Hotfoot was out shoveling off his front Walk. He had almost reached the end of his walk and was shoveling just as fast and hard as he could so he could get the gruesome job done and leave for work. Of course he wasn't not- icing where he was throwing the stuff because he didn't care where it landed as long as it wasn't back in his own path! Now hd let one especially big shovelful go in this fashion and bingo- it hit a passer-by smack in the face! Horace, hearing the thud behind him, turned and saw the man lying flat on the pavement practically buried in snow! The man was a stranger to Horace, but Horace could tell by the look in his eye that he was more than slightly perturb- ed! However, Horace wasn't going to let a little thing like knocking a guy down interfere with his work so he kept on shoveling, letting the stranger get up as best he could-if he could. The stranger managed to get to his feet, however, and stood brushing the snow off and mutter- ing something Horace couldn't make out -and maybe it was just as well! Finally, Horace, on finishing his job, looked up and saw the stranger still standing there glaring at him. Hi, fella. See you got the snow brushed off, Horace offered pleasantly. Yes, the stranger replied coldly. By the way, what's your name? Name's Horace-Horace Hotfoot. Why? Oh, nothing, replied the stranger, just wondering. I don't mean to be curi- ous, just interested in people Do you have much property or income? Now, talking was Horace's weakness and he figured, since he had to talk, he might as well make it sound -good any- Way. Why, yes, began Horace thinking' fast. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty well off. 'Course I only make 34,000 a year at the office, but besides that I own a 50,000 acre farm which brings my Wife and me more than enough to live well ong and then I have a large house up the street that I rent to people and THE MEGUNTICOOK 17 also a large cottage on the lake and some property here and there. Yes, I'd say I was pretty well off. Hm-you sure must have an awful income tax to pay though, said the stranger.. Hal Ha! fHorace laughed that one off!! Me pay an income tax-say, you should hear the slick hard-time story I'll tell those guys! ' At this the stranger smiled for the first time saying: You'd better start talking pretty fast then, Bud. I'm the tax collector.

Patricia Magee '45 -CHS- THE LAST FLIGHT Onward they sailed, high above the treetops, gliding over a neck of thick Woods, approaching a shallow cove sheltered from three sides by heavy brush and deadwood, and from the third side by a long row of wilting weeds, con- nected only by a winding channel of deep blue water. Then as the sun momentarily broke through the clouds, the leader caught a flash of a familiar sight-the twin tubes of a double barreled shotgun. Partially putting on his brakes and swinging, he headed for the opening. But too slow was his action, as he felt hot lead sear- ing through his close-packed feathers. The next second produced two thunder- ing reports, and he and one of his faith- ful companions were making their last trip earthward.

Wait a minute, please let me Continue! I'll be only too glad to cause your expressions of bewilderment to turn first to astonishment, and then Cpraise the colwj to the appreciation such deserves, namely, drooling. The fascination for forbidden fruit al- ways holds the more magnetism for any youngster. We would all hopefully wait for the day when the folks would go to the cityg and the instant the car had rolled down the drive, there would be a bee-line for the barn, and each of us would streak straight for the grain room. There we would inspect each bin, until one of us would let out a squeal of triumph and delight, and we'd all crowd to get the nearest. The object of our eagerness was a drab and very ord- inary-appearing gunny-sack. But it wasn't the burlap bag we were shouting aboutg it was its contents. The wild cries of exultation would denote the achievement of our prizes. The popular treat so much in demand would shock an observer should he know the purpose for which it was really intended. That, after it was no longer saleable in the markets, a dealer would bring it to us to be fed to the cow. Our idea of a treat was to grasp a choice handful of our so-called goody, sink our teeth into the tempting mixture of its generous flavors, and greedily de- vour the smallest grain remaining with a relish only justifiable to the highest quality of jelly doughnuts. There were many varieties of bakery products, all over a week old, but this was always the most sought. This devotion to stale bak- ery products Was far from being compli- mentary to Mother's fine pastries, but in reference to my previous quotation, children are only portraying a human quality in yielding to their passion for forbidden fruits.

THE MEGUNTICOOK 19 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Most stories begin with the sound of rain and a peal of thunder in a dilapi- dated house miles from nowhere. Others are started with the steady, rhythmic beat of jungle drums. Still others are launched on the printed page by a shot in the darkness, a scream, and a dull thud as the lifeless form of a man crumples to the floor. All people like a change, it's human nature, so sit back and make yourself comfortable, if you can, while I relate to you the weirdest, most bloodcurdling tale ever to cross the threshold of man's lips. It is weird because unlike other stories it begins, proceeds, and ends in cool deathly stillness. Before I tell the main events of my story, let me introduce the characters. First, in the order of which they appear on the scenes, comes Andrew, just plain Andrew, kind and sympathetic. He had served as butler in Blandiberry Cas- tle for thirty-seven years, and now, at the age of seventy-three, though feeble, he still took great honor in his office, Retainer of Blandiberry. The next appearance is made by Jacques Dupres, a true Frenchman, val- et and personal attendant to the Lord of Blandiberry, next introduced. Jacques loved nature. Often he could be seen wandering about the ca:stle's gardens communicating with La mere nature as he would have it. If you should wander into the study of the Lord of Blandiberry, your eyes would meet wallls of gold, your feet would tread on the soft velvet of multi- colored Persian ruugis, and your skin would feel the cool delightful breeze which blows in from the sea. If you wish, you may walk up to the window, look out, and see down two stories of the cas- tle and three hundred feet below, down the sheer cliffs, Long Island Sound. Then as you turn away and look toward the Mawster's desk you see, sitting in a wheel chair, an elderly gentleman of about seventy-five years. He was crip- pled on May 31, 1902, when he fell out of a balcony. The peace articles between the Dutch and British had just been signed ending the Boer War, in which he fought on the winning side. Mr. Jenkins, known to' his servants as The Mawster, was kind, and loved by all his relatives and friends. An English- man by birth, his parents had moved to Long Island sixty years ago. Even though an American citizen, Jenkins still loved England, and tried to live like an Englishman in Blandiberry Castle. Next, arriving on the scene together, came Timothy and Reginald Jenkins, brothers, and nephews of J. G. Jenkins. Almost of an age, they were both mar- ried and had very beautiful wives. Both were of good character, and the Lord of Blandiberry had all manner of intention to bequeath to them equally his estate, wealth, and so forth when he died. Did you ever know a child prodigy? Were you ever stumped by a complex scientific or historical interrogation, on- ly to hear it answered by a child of sev- en or eight? There are children of that kind. Percival Jenkins was of that sort, nine years of age, he had received the following degrees from Oxford: Doctor of Law, Doctor of Medicine, and Doctor of Science. He was the son of Reginald Jenkins. I know 'these descriptions are very boring, however a knowledge of the characters is aways the best insurance against misunderstanding of the plot. There is one more major character: nevertheless, as I do not wish to flatter him I will let you make your own per- ception of his character, appearance, and aptitude when he enters. Now, well equipped with descriptions important members of my you feel prepared to read of the more cast, I hope on. Read on, if you dare, acquaint your- self with The Last Will and Testament of Jay Gorden Jenkins. II All is still. As we leave our cab at the gate of Blandiberry Castle and look up at the huge turreted structure, we are too awed to speak. We hardly dare to breathe lest our breath. though faint and feeble with fear, should cause this ma- jestic castle to sway, sway, crumble and crash down upon us like a mighty aval- anche of rock, snow, and ice. o 20 THE MEGUNTICOOK It is snowing, the turrets of Blandi- berry, with their caps of snow, stand out sharply against the star-studded night sky. We walk up to the door which, by means of an electric eye, opens itself silently, then after we have passed through it into the realm of splendor beyond, it closes as silently as it opened. We are met by Andrew, Retainer of Bandiberry, who, gestures for us to fol- low him. He says nothing as he has been told of our coming and has prepared a room for us. He leads us down velvet-carpeted halls, up a flight of spiral stairs, down another hall and up to a door. There stands a man with a small mustache. He appears French, but since he does not speak, we are not sure. The door opensg we follow our Parisian friend into a room which appears as a throne-room. The air about us is that of greatness and grandeur. 1 There is a light in one corner, where in a wheel-chair, at his desk sits a man. He is Jay Gorden Jenkins. We are now also aware that the French gentleman who led us here is Jacques Dupres, Jen- kins' valet. Even though it is impolite, as we walk, unnoticed up behind him, we read on a paper before him the following: I Jay Gorden Jenkins, being of sound mind and body do hereby bequeath-- Yes, it is a will, and you as a lawyer, the anonymous character in the descrip- tions, and I as your friend have come to perform all the legal formalities. Mr. Jenkins hands us a pen, and first you, then I, place our signatures on the speci- fied lines. All these formalities complet- ed we nod farewell to our host, turn, and are ushered out the door, down the hall, the stairs and thence out of the cas- tle of Blandiberry. All therse proceedingrs were carried out in complete silence. III Months have passed since our visit at Blandiberry, and as we read the Daily Herald one morning, we notice on one of the pages a small paragraph. It reads as follows: To whom it may concern: All friends and relatives of Jay Gorden Jenkins are requested to come to the Jenkins Resi- dence at Castle Heights tomorrow eve- ening at 8:30. The will of the late Mr. Jenkins will be read at that time. It was Mr. Jenkins' request that at the time of the reading of his will there should be absolute silence. All those attending will please bear this in mind. Yes, kind old Mr. Jenkins has passed on. But let me take you back a week. We shall witness first-hand his untime- ly death. Spring has come. The gardens of Blandiberry had burst into bloom al- most over-night. Beautiful honey-suckle bushes, velvet colored lilac, and a king's assortment of all the flowers known graced the paths and fountains. All na- ture was alive with excitement. There at a statue of a Grecian God sat the Lord of Blandiberry. He was looking up at the tiny sparrows, which, with the approach of spring were flirting and wooing with one another in search of a suitable mate. Behind him stood Jacques. He was handling the flowers, caressing them, and expressing, from the bottom of his heart, his love for Mother Nature. We look away for an instant and as we glance back we see Jacques wheeling J. Gorden silently over the soft green carpet of grass toward a table near the cliff's edge. Jacques takes his leave for a moment, to fetch wine or champagne, we suppose, because he takes with him a tray of empty dishes. Again our attention is distracted, this time by a beautiful shrub, we approach it to examine the nature of the plant more closely. Upon returning we see Jacques kneeling at the edge of the cliff in silence, we advance to the same place and there below us three hundred feet we behold the shattered fragments of a wheel-chair and the torn lifeless body of Te Lord of Blandiberry lying on the roc s. That was a week ago. Police investi- gation had proved nothing, but it was thought that the old gentleman was probably killed for his money, and that somethinff might turniup at the reading of his will. THE MEGUNTICCOK 21 Tonight as we enter the Jenkins man- sion, we are again greeted by Andrew, who leads us to the large antiquated drawing room. Upon entering and ob- serving our surroundings, we find that we are the last to arrive. Jacques is sit- ting in the armchair pondering thought- fully, Reginald and Timothy are enjoy- ing a silent game of chessg while their wives examine the room, it's paintings, tapestry, an-d designing. Reclining on the divan is the child prodigy, T. Percival Jenkins, deeply engrossed in a volume of Shakespeare. We take chairs facing one wall. When all are seated the lights are extinguish- ed, a curtain is drawn aside, and on a screen is projected a facsimile picture of the will we had signed. All silently read it. Blandiberry's Master had bequeathed equal parts of his wealth and estate to his nephews, their wives, and the ser- vants. To Percival, however, he made a strange bequest. Enclosed was a key. Percival was to take the gold-clasped box from over the firepace, unlock it, and take possession of the suitable re- ward within. The boy brings the box to the drawing room table, and as we remain seated he unlocks it and lifts the lid. A green col- ored odorless vapor issues from within. Percival clutches his throat, grasps a pencil and 'scrawls on the table linen- I killed Mr. Jenk- before he can fin- ish he crumples to the floor and remains still. For a moment we don't believe. Then we realize that Jenkins was a small, helpless, and weak man, and it would not have been very hard for Percival to wheel him, ruthlessly over the cliff. Be- sides, anyone with half his intelligence could have made good use of any finan- cial gains. As to how or why J. Jenkins could have known in order to put it in his will is beyond my comprehension. He must have had a dream or premonition. 41 if Ill if Andrew again ushers us to the door. He nods to us a good evening and closes the door behind us. We stroll down the garden path toward the road, and look- ing back again see Blandiberry Castle outlined against the cool night sky. All is still.

ANXIETY Each night I would carefully place them in their scented box, giving them a lingering caress before I-would close the lid. I would turn out my light and lie awake thinking about them, and how I must preserve them for some special oc- casion. In my dreams I would picture them daintily resting in their precious case. I would awake in a cold sweat, after a nightmare in which something had hap- pened to them, hastily arise, not daring to breathe until I was assured of their lasting presence. Only then could I breathe and it was always a sigh! Then I would return to my bed, per- haps going back to have just one last peep at their supreme realness. In the morning I would spring guiltily out of bed, dash to my bureau again, open the gilded cover, unfold the tissue paper, and glow in ecstasy over my last pair of silk stockings! Esther Pease, '44 -CHS- One cold wintry evening of last Jan- uary I had a very peculiar dream. In this dream it appeared that each mem- ber of '44 was invited to attend a supper and each member was to bring a certain food most appropriate to themselves.

The reception climaxed a week of reverence to the mighty seniors. Dur- ing this week many of the boys were seen going from class to class with skirts and bare legs. In reference to their age each girl wore one pig tail for each year of growth. Among the outstanding performances of the evening, was a horse imitation by Warren Kelleher, the process of pinning diapers, demonstrated by John Holloway and Arthur Dority, caused quite a sensation. Several girls ate gold- fish sandwiches, which turned out to be carrots, and many other events took place. Minetta Johnson furnished suit- able music in the background, and Dor- othy Robbins and Edward Burke served as master of ceremonies. Cider and doughnuts were served, and general entertainment followed. -CHS- FIRST SEMESTER RANKS The following students have received high honors for the first semester C1943- 19443.

Every seat in the house had been sold before .the curtain went up. The senior Thespians showed very good talent and kept the audience in the proverbial stitches throughout the performance. The play was as amusing as its title would indicate. Jeff, the older brother of a little family of orphans, is a sort of brother goose and has plenty of trou- ble keeping guard over his flock. Carol aspires to be a writer and gets lots of practice through her entries in various cereal slogan contests. Hyacinth, a precocious little child of eleven, has an inborn love for football and is the star of the neighborhood team. She is greatly interested in the happenings of the household and man- ages to get herself in on all the fun. Wes, a high school junior, is typical of the modern youth. His prime interest is neither football nor writing but girls. His particular heart interest is Eve Mason, a Southern girl who has moved into the next house. Wes rents a motor- to the Masquerade cycle to take Eve Ball, and there are some interesting de- velopments. Just when things are going the worst for brother Jeff, he is rescued by a lady hosiery representative, Peggy Winkel. She takes Hyacinth in hand and succeeds in straightening out the flock to some extent: at the same time she manages to steal Jeff from the clutches of Lenore Hudson, a recent millionaire. Lenore is a rather affected young lady who inher- ited a bubble gum fortune. All ends very well as Peggy looks forward to being Sister Goose.

There were several vacancies left by the previous graduating classes to be filled. The enrollment has increased from 17 members at the close of the summer season to 33 pieces. The first appearance made by the Band was at the unveiling and dedica- tion of the Camden Honor Roll. A short concert was presented and at the close of the ceremonies the Star Spangled Banner was played while the Stars ?ind1Stripes was raised above the Honor to . The Band al-so presented a shortcon- cert preceding the premier to the movie This is the Army, on the stage of the Camden Theatre. The Band was again on hand to ren- der music when Senator Owen Brewster appeared in the Opera House. There was a Civilian Defense meeting in the Opera House to which the Band was invited. Members of the Armed Services station- ed at Dow Field, Bangor, gave interest- ing talks and demonstrations. Refresh- ments were enjoyed by all in attendance. 1---n--...., B----....... 4----...... r-------. 3 CAMDEN SCHOOLS BAND Popular marches were once again played. At the end of September the band lost one of its most talented musicians to the U. S. Navy. S 2fc Richard Browne was an outstanding baritone player and was the mainstay of the bass section.

I have learnt how to spele gud and i can rede and rite pruty gud. I have also learnt how to figure up nec- esary things like if John has fore appuls and he givves too to Tom and he don't give none to me, i don't have any.

Coach Dailey, how- ever, was able to conduct only a few practices before he became Private Lawrence Dailey of the U. S. Army. Help was soon in coming to the C. H. S. diamondeers, however, in the person of Rev. Melvin H. Dorr, Jr., the popular Baptist minister. Mr. Dorr volunteered his services and was soon hard at work with a well-rounded-out squad. The season could not be called highly successful, but, with a few more breaks, the high school nine might have painted an entirely different picure. Having lost only two players from 1943, this year's squad is looking forward to a highly vic- torious season.

The same combination of Grindle, Williams, Allen, Bryant, and Leonard, which hung up a not too impressive sea- son as sophomores, paced the team this year to the league runner-up spot. Had Camden won the game with Rockland down there, the pennant would now be hanging in the high school corridor. In that game, however, after leading in the last three minutes of the contest, the boys were overtaken and defeated 39- 43. The high school turned in a rem-ark- able season when the disadvantages it had to overcome are considered. First of all the boys were playing un- der a new coach, secondly, they had no high school gymnasium to practice on as have Rockland, Thomaston, Lincoln, and Belfast. In additiion the starting lineup had an average height of only 5 foot 7 inches. Working against all these defi- cits, however, the squad managed to win 8 out of 10 games, including an upset over Rock'and here 36-33. Coach Dorr is to be commended on the fine way the team played and conducted themselves. He has proved to be an able coach, as well as an understanding ad- viser. Grindle, averaging twelve points per game, was the team's high-scorer and standout performer. With Grindle at the other forward post, Jack Williams showed the opposition some classy bas- ketball when they were able to see him. He was undoubtedly the fastest man in ' l BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM Front row lleft to rightj Elmer Leonard, '45, John Vililliams, '45, Basil Bryant, '45g Tim Grindie, 315: Raymond Allen, '45 Bark row lleft to rightj Willis Hodson, Manager, '44, Arthur Grinnell, '45, Sidney McKeen, '44g Walter Wadsworth, '4-43 Bill True, '44g Chauncey -Grinnell, '47g Clifford Burkett, 463 Coach Dorr the league and also one of the smartest. In Raymond Allen, the team had good height, an extremely good passer, and a very accurate shot. Camden's back court composed of Bryant and Leonard, proved to be a dangerous defensive duo. They played good steady games, and stopped the scoring power of the oppo- sition time and again. The second team including Chauncey Grinnell, Arthur Grinnell, Wadsworth, True, McKeen, Spear and Burkett, step- ped in on several occasions and gave good accounts of themselves. Grindle, Williams, Allen, and Bryant are expected back next year, and bar- ring a little miracle, the boys should take :thc leajrue pennant, and break Camden scoring records for some time to come. The success of the team may have been a shot in the arm to Camden ath- letes for attendance was especially en- couraging at every game.

The interclass league was won by the Juniors when they defeated the Seniors 54 to 12. The Sophomores defea.ted the Freshmen 46 to 8 for third place. IF lk Ik i As for the boys-girls game, we haven't room in the Megunticook to relate all the amusement of that night. Referee Payson stole the show, with his beautiful evening gown. The boys were all dressed in girls' clothes, including makeup and, in some cases, silk stockings. The boys won the game, but that was incidental in a game of that kind. The C. H. S. Pinup Girls had a lineup composed of the following Beau- ties : Patty Grindle, Nell Williams, Prudy Allen, Mary Lou Bryant, Veronica Leonard, Virginia Grin- nell, Gerty Wadsworth, Freckles McKeen, Helen Grinnell, Suzie True, Shirley Mae Burkett. ak ii lk S We hereby present our selections for an All-League basketball team for this past season: L.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL As the Girls' Basketball Team lost their coach to the Armed Forces, Miss. Helen McC0bb of the High School Fac- ulty volunteered her services to carry on the duties of coaching. Practice began in November and even though the Sen- ior Play was in preparation at the same time, there were generally two practices a week. Although the team will lose seven girls at Graduation this year, the sophomores promise a good team next year backed by the freshmen and jun- iors. Non League Games In the first game of the year Camden journeyed to Belfast to hand the Crosby lassies a 43-29 defeat. Crosby led the first quarter 7-6. Camden tallied a 19- 14 margin at half-time, and maintained a 29-18 lead at the third quarter, and wound up the game With a 43-29 score. Rediker scored 19 points from Crosby, followed by Galanti of Camden, who- racked up 18 points. Alumnae Defeats High School Althoufgh the boys were unable to play the Alumni, the girls held their game and handed the high school lassies a 34-33 defeat. At the close of the first quarter the alumnae led 8-6. The stu- dents edged out an 18-16 margin at half- time. The second half was as close as the first half and the third quarter ended with the High School one point up with a 23-22 margin. The last quarter proved to be a see-saw battle, which saw the Alumnae come out on tlop 34-33. B- Dwinal paced the graduates with 22 points, and Galanti scored 16 points for the school girls. Camden Topples Waldoboro In another extra game Camden de- feated Waldoboro 31-18. Camden led the attack throughout the game and wasn't in danger of being defeated at any time. The score by quarters was 9-5, 14-7, 26-16, and 31-18. Dwinal turned in 19 points for Camden, and Morse scored high for the visitors with 12 points. Inter-class Games In the first inter-class game the sopho- morees defeated the Juniors 34-12. Rankin and M. Galanti collected 12 points each, followed by Libby with 10- J GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM Kneeling: Kay Libby, '46 First row: Edna Rankin, '46: Shirley Leach, '-143 Anna Galanti, '-443 Helen Eaton, 'M Second row: Coach Helen McCobbg Christine Goodman, '46g Helene Foster, '4-43 Beverly Upton, '44g Nellie Ames.

Dwinal paced the seniors with 16 points and Rankin ac- counted for 21 points for the sopho- mores. Girls' Basketball League Games The girls opened their League season by meeting and defeating the Lincoln Academy lassies on our home floor by a 36-27 margin. As Lincoln had won the championship four straight years, this victory brought new hopes to the Cam- den girls. Galanti netted 22 points to pace the victors, while Trask kept Lin- coln Academy in the running with 18 points. Camden led throughout the game with quarterly scores of 10-7, 18-16, 28- 22 and 36-27. 38 THE MEGUNTICOOK Camden Yields to Thomaston In the second League game, Thomas- ton ran away from Camden with a 31-17 victory.

They tallied 8 points in the final period to wind up the game with a 31-17 score. Crie tallied 12 points for the Thomaston lassies, and Rankin racked up 9 points for Camden. Camden Wins Second League Game In a slow evening game, therCamden girls defeated the Rockport visitors, 17- 11. Capt. Dwinal made her first appear- ance in the line up and netted 5 points. The first quarter was very slow with a 3-1 score. Camden picked up 12 points to bring the half to a close with a 15-5 score.

They main- tained a 14-8 lead at the third quarter and picked up 7 points to end it with a 21-15 score. Porter was high for Thom- aston with 15 points and Rankin kept Camden high with 9 points. Galanti, for- mer high scoring forward, was greatly missed in the game. She was unable to play because of a sprained ankle which she suffered in the Rockport game. Camden Loses Again Camden dropped another game in their first match with Rockland by a 31- 19 margin. Camden led 5-4 at the first quarter, but Rockland came out from behind to take a half time lead of 14-9.

Lincoln nosed out a 19-18 lead at half time. Lincoln stayed out in front during the third period 25-23. The last quarter was a hard fought battle and ended at a 28- 28 deadlock. Lincoln lassies had a foul shot coming to them, and Chase sank it to win the game 29-28. Parsons scored high for Lincoln with 14 points and Libby paced the Camden team with 13. points. Camden Bows to Rockland In the last home game the Rockland girls outpointed the Camden basketeers 43-35. Rockland led 11-5 at the close of the first period.
