You have, no doubt, had those experiences sometime or another in your own life. And you ask, ls it necessary? and VVhat can I do about i't ? My answer to that is definitely, and de- cidly, No! It isn't necessary, and you can do something about it! What? just this. Keep your balance. We all know 'that it is of supreme importance to a person boxing to keep his balance. That is the first thing a boxer is taught. If he doesn't ob- serve this rule, he's gone. The blows start coming thick and fast from his opponentg he's constantly on the defensive. And at any minute he's liable to get the blow which will put him out of the fight com- pletely. And so it is with life. If you let the first you adverse condi'tion you encounter get down, you're lost. Because, in doing so, you prepare the way for more trouble. It will come in leaps and bounds. The best way to avoid this is to keep your balance. Maintain calmness, poise. and a positive mental attitude, and old man trouble just won't have a chance 'to get started with his dirty work. It is 11ot easy to maintain such a postive frame of mind, but it can be attained. And the best way to attain it, is the constant practicing of it. Certainly, it is well worth trying, for everyone wants to be happy, and live a full life of peace and joy. And the best part of it all is, that we're not only making peace and joy for ourselves, but others too: for moods and emotions are catching, as we all know, and, who knows?-if happy thoughts get to -circulating around, this sick, old, war-torn world, could be a fine place to live in. So, keep your balance, andvkeep happy. Patricia Magee, '45 - C H S - COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING An issue solidly employed in the minds of the prominent men of our nation is whether or no't to require the young men of our country to serve for a short training period in the armed forces of our country. VVhy is it that men like the chief of staff of our army, the Secretary of War, our ad- h 4 al , 's Tl-l E MEGUNTICOOK BOARD Seated tleft to rightj Ruth Thurlow, Gage Grindle, Myrtle Marshall, Patricia Magee, Raymond Gross, M.

Their .answer is that so many young men who have lmeen ca'led to service are physically unfit. find it hard to adjust themselves to living in groups react negatively to discipline and responsibility. They feel that one year of these hoys' lives under this training would lietter fit them to take their place in the world even if they never have to he called lu Wilt. Une of the great fears of the opposition to this plan is that the youth will hecome military minded. This is a fallacy as a man's life is neither wholly nor partially influenced hy a single year of his life. lt takes years starting with the very early to prepare a military youth like that of liurope. The fear that college education may he interrupted and therefore lost is also un- founded. Remember that there are thou- sands of our youth who are never privileged to attend college, and many college careers have been interrupted lay sickness or other causes and successfully continued later. lf a youth has got what it takes to make a suc- cess of college, this one year will not hinder him. For the thousands of lmoys who leave high school to go directly into industrial work. this one year of travel an'l physical strength- ening will he of immeasurable help. l, therefore, feel that a compulsory train- ing lan' could he drawn so as to he uf great luenefit to the young men themselves and to the strength of our country. Raymond tiross, '46 1 Iv! sl CLASS OF 45 Ten years have passed-it's '55, Gee, how the time does fly. It seems to me like yesterday That we left old Camden High. I'm now a country doctor, Keeping folks alive, But often I've wondered what became Of the Class of '45. This question seemed to bother me, fI'm the curious kindj, So I made an investigation And this is what I find: Why, just the other day, it was, 1 ran into Susie St. Clair, She's now running a beauty shop Getting into everyone's hair. Marjorie Plaisted and Pat Magee, The scholars of our class, Just graduated from college And have settled down at last. Tim tried to get in the Marines, As most of you all know, But since he c0uldn't make it, Pat told him where to go. Lawrence Buck and Georgie Ayers Are running a fish market, But from all reports I hear, It really is a racket. Justina Shute is in the movies, Having a lot of fung Her last picture was Reverie, Opposite Robert Young. Betty Leach, as you all know, Despite how great her fame is, Gave it up and went to work Raising little Ames's. Ray Allen owns a laundry, All kinds of clothes he bleaches, In Rockland you will find his store Because he married Peaches, SLNIIJR SEIITIUN Basil Bryant and Elmer Leonard, The romeos of our class, Have a partnership known as, Lessons in Love, Teaching technique to every lass. Arthur Grinnell is making money Leading his own orchestra, His soloist is Gilbert Marriner, A second Frank Sinatra. Now, there's the case of Ruth Thurlow, Whom we tho't the quietest to be, She's now known as Aunt Ruthie, Each Saturday broadcasts recipes. Of famous people in our class Betty Amborn takes the cake, She's now a dietitian, Works hard from early 'till late. Remember Barbara Clancy? She works for John L. Powers, At modeling she's reached the top, She models at all hours. Bob Richards is in Hollywood, A movie star or such, Makes a million bucks a year! He doesn't worry much. Barbara Dickey is married now, She has a little son, He really is her pride and joy, His name is Junior Eaton. The big surprise of our class, I find, Turned out to be Joe Sawyer, Instead of being an engineer, He's now a famous lawyer. Now Glee and Evelyn Libby Have taken to the air, As stewardesses they're doing fine, The pilots are their only care. Leona and Phyllis Baird After graduation married soon, It seems they married brothers, And their Anniversary falls in June. 6 THE MEGUNTICOOK Clara Tremblay has a dress shop In New York on Fifth Avenue, She's one of the best, and climbing. Making plenty of revenue. 'Myrt Marshall owns a Coke Bar, She sells most every kind, And if you care to stop, A classmate there you'll find. Viola Brownell and Verna Norwood Got married in '48, Viola married a captain, Verna the captain's mate Louise Wade owns a hat shop She flatters the ladies who buy, That hat was made for you, she says, She makes the .ladies sigh. To those who couldn't graduate, And in the service entered, We gratefully acknowledge now, And on them our thoughts are centered. Since that completes my little tale, And before I make it worse, I think it best that here and now I end this little verse.

My X and Y's in algebra Will come in use some day, When I want to find out What I should have to pay. I studied and studied my Latin, 'Till I had learned by heart The declensions and conjugations, At last I mastered the art. My second year I took up Spanish, Learned how to make conversations, The next year was somewhat harder, But I struggled through translations. The studies of Caesar and Charlemagne, In my World History Class, Made time consuming homework For those who wished to pass. Economics, French and English, These I studied like mad , But now I'm leaving C. H. S., I really feel quite sad. M. Marjorie Plaisted, '45 - C' H s - FOUR YEARS When I entered Camden High As a freshman and very shyg In my class there were only two, Whom I had seen before and knew. Next I became a sophomore and went up to the second floor. There my seat was in direct line with the office door, And Mr. Wood Could see when I was or wasn't good. In my junior year I didn't shirk, To get an A, I had to work! I worried and worried every day, The senior year seemed so far away. Now these four years are nearly over, And I hate to say Good-Bye, But the time has come, and I must go, Farewell to Camden High.

MEMORIES Our high school days a1'e over, In the coming month of June. For some it will be a blessing, For others it will come too soon. Some will have to go to war. The others will do their part. But our high school days will linger, In every single heart. We will remember Leonard, And how he was always late: For early economics He would never keep a date. And so on to second study, Where there comes a husky shout: I have warned you about that, Grindl So will you please get out? From up in the music room Is heard the most awful sound, Where Mr. Hammond's beginners Can most always be found. There is a boy in our class, A prominent boy is he. He took out Becky Johnson, And didn't get home till three. I could go on forever, Forever and a day. But you have the general idea, Of what I want to say. These things we will remember, Throughout the coming years. And hope and pray that they don't get To our families' tender ears. A. I.

Llnfortunately the day was warm and dusty, causing his throat to ache for the want of a taste of that good Mountain Dew, which was bootlegged by the owner of a nearby General Store. As time progres- sed, the ache became a pain and soon had its poor owner at the point of' insanity. At last. unable to bear the torture any longer, he directed his steps to the General Store. Then he stopped, remembering that he was in the boot- depths of bankruptcy and that the legger was a surly, mean fellow, who would throw anything away, rather than give a drop of it to his fellow men. Then a brilliant idea came to him like a bolt from the blue, and he realized how he could get his drink without the help of a little thing such as money. Quickly he dash- ed into a nearby house and borrowed a quart flask which appeared to be half full. Then he made his way to the store. VVhen he finally entered the establish- ment, he was greeted with a gruff, XVell, what d'ya want? He politely explained - -Q-L that he had emptied half of the quart and wished to have it refilled. The bootlegger took the flask, went down to the cellar and filled it with whiskey. Having presented the filled bo'ttle to its owner, the storekeeper next presented his bill which came to 32.50. NYliatl exclaimed the bankrupt man, shaking the bottle, VVhy, I wouldn't pay that much for good wine. You take 'this and empty half of it out. then give my half quart back to me. The bootlegger turned half of the con- tents out, gave the rcs't back to the man and wondered why he chuckled as he went out the door. VVhen the victim of hard times got out- side, he doubled up with joy allil laughter at the 'trick he had played on the bootlegger. For the truth was, that he had entered the store with a half a quart of water and had co1ne out with a half quart of f'Split. VVarren Kelleher, '47 - C H S -- CAROL AND BILL Grandma, said 'the children, tell us a storyf, VVhat kind of a story would you like? Nothing special, they answered, just a story. I am going to use different names So it will seem more like a story even though it is true.', I2 THE MEG UNTICOOK It is 1944 when the story starts. Carol had obtained the address of a handsome Marine, Bill Marsh, from a friend who Si and writing to Bill's buddy. The letters to from Carol were friendly and sincere his to her were likewise. Through this cor- respondence they each learned the others likes and dislikes. Then one day Carol re- ceived a letter from Bill saying that he hal a furlough and was coming to see her. Naturally she was very much exci'ted as she had never seen him before, Grandma stopped for a moment. She had a slight smile on her face. Immediately the children interrupted this quiet moment of thought, Go on, Grandma, go on. VVell Bill came to Carol's house as a guest. During his stay 'there Carol's boss told her that she need not work. Together she and Bill went everywhere skiing, which was there favorite sport, dancing, to parties, and many other places, having a wonderful time. VVhen Bill's furlough was up, he hated to go back. He said 'to Carol, 'As soon as I can get another furlough I am coming straight here, if possiblef It was quite a long time before Bill was able to fulfill his promise as he went overseas. lNhen Bill returned as a hero from the Philippines, it wasn't long before he and Carol were mar- ried. 'fThat was a wonderful story. Grandma. Did you know Carol and Bill? Yes, she said quietly. I knew them better than anyone else. Carol and Bill were your grandfather and I. Myrna Curry, '47 - C H S - A TYPICAL SCHOOL DAY AT I CAMDEN HIGH Look! Upon the hill! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Camden High School! Cas seen from the corner of Alden and Knowlton Streetsj. As one enters the doors of this great Lodge of Learningf' he is instantly impressed by the studious atmosphere that prevails around him. After climbing the stairs and entering the Main Room, whom does one see striding between,the seats, but that famous one-man basketball team, Long Dong Grinnell. After getting an eyeful of this great star, your gaze will immediately fall upon the object of his at- tentiong that buxom, beau'tiful Victim of Peroxide, Patricia Rich. Tearing your eyes from this lovely cou- ple, you see in a corner those two famous Child Prodigiesf' Miss Katherine Hobbs and Miss Eleanor Brown, then looking to the left, you see that slick-haired, well- groomed, dreamy-eyed individual, Master Gilbert Hall. fNo't married as yetj. In the seat next to this Lady Killer. you catch sight of that superb, dynamic, colossal, atom-sized Hercules, Paul Thorndike. After receiving your first impression, don't be hasty, stick around! and spend the day following the classes wi'th this roomful of pupils. First you enter Miss Clason's well-con- ducted Latin Class and are duly impressed by the ingenious method by which Long Dong Grinnell, goes about translating his Latin. Next comes Mr. Payson's study period, quite soothing to the nerves, and 'then after two more periods, the bell rings for recess. After a twenty minute lunch period, you are greatly refreshed and feel able to tussle with the 'three more periods which remain. Finally, Mr. Shibles' seventh study period rolls around fthe last one for the dayj, and. after forty-five minutes of intense study, one hears the gentle notes of the bell again. and you know tha't it is time to lay aside the Tools of Progress. As you are leaving this friendly Lodge of Learning, a soothing feeling comes over you, and you think of the thrill you will experience when you draw out your books that night and start your homework. Cif you dol. Thinking thus you go down the hill, draw- ing aivay from Camen High, and entering the s'treet that takes you to your home fand your dinnerj.

I melted in- to my bed and tried to look unimportant to the monster wrapped, as he was, in 'the folds of weird clothing. There I stayed, frozen, transfixed, as if under the spell of a sorce- ress. Ah, is it going away? No, it was still there, dancing and swaying with the howl- ing of the wind as if to proceed with my funeral march. Fear enveloped me. I slumped into a stu- por, half-dreaming, half remembering all of 'the horrible happenings that I had ever witnessed or dreamed. They were sharp and clear. but it was hard to grasp the meaning of the rest. I twisted, turned, and struck at the grotesque creature in trying to escape i't. I fancied I could feel its breath on my sweat-stained brow. Suddenly, as quickly as I had lost consciousness, I regained it. I was completely exhausted. As I lay there terrified, not able to move, I watched the fluttering menace come closer. The appari- tion flayed its arms out 'towards me. I lay there with my cold glassy eyes staring at itg I wanted to call for help, but I couldn't. Finally my voice came to me. I shuddered and groaned in agony. . At last my cold, clammy hand found the light swi'tch. I snapped it, Oh! Good heavens! What was it ? I whispered. A ghost? A monster? No, it was just a curtain that had flutter- ed in my face. I lay there, shaking for about an hour, and then I slipped in'to a deep stupor which last- ed until dawn. David Hardy, '46 T'H'E MEGU NTICOOK I5 HARRY'S FURLOUGH Harry Weare was not going home on his furlough as most boys do. He was spend- .ing his time helping a farmer whom he had never seen or heard of before. Mr. Jackson, the farmer, picked Harry up 'at his camp and while driving to his farm told him about his son, Andy, who was a flyer somewhere in the Pacific. Harry listened intently to the whole story of how much he missed Andy because 'they were so close, what Andy's favorlte dishes were, and how he always called him 'my boy. He even said that he would prob- .ably be calling Harry my boy before he went back. Dinner was ready with all the dishes Andy liked when they arrived at the great rambling farm house. Andy's favorite pie turned out to be apple which was also Harry's. It certainly was the best he had ever tasted. . The first 'thing that caught Harry's eye was a picture of a boy in uniform in a sil- ver frame. No wonder they were so proud Of him as he looked so handsome in his uni- form. - The two weeks of Harry's stay went by rapidly with Mr. Jackson calling him my boy, just as though he were Andy. In fact he really did seem to take the place of their boy overseas. The night before his departure Mrs. Jack- son knocked on his bedroom door and ask- cd to come in. She had a warm knit sweater which she gave Harry saying, This is just a small token of our appreciation. You have been not only a great' help with the work but also our son. We never 'told you this be- fore, but our son was killed in action three years ago. Mr. Jackson likes to believe and pretend that some day he'll come back to us. You have made my husband smile which I baven't seen him do since we got the tele- gram. I would like to meet the mother of as fine a boy as you. Of course Harry missed going home on his furlough, but he knew his Mom had two youngensons who weren't in the ser- vice to take care of her. He was more than glad that he had helped the brave Mr. and Mrs. jackson find happiness for a few weeks.

THE MEGU NTICOOK' I7 SHIRTS OR SHEETS Before journeying to my cottage on the coast of Maine last summer, I took ten of my favorite Lady Pepperell sheets to the Chinese Laundry, leaving instructions with my sister 'to get them in two weeks. I returned in late August,.healthy and sunburned from salt air exposure, to find lying on my bed in three neat rows, not my favorite Lady Pepperrell sheets-but ten white, stiff collared shirts! Ohhh! I wailed, What happened to my favorite Lady Pepperrell sheets? This situation demanded an immediate explanation. I soon discovered that my sis- ter and the Chinaman had had a disagree- ment as to whether shirts or sheets was written on 'the bill, the unfortunate part was my sister had forgotten her glasses and could not argue against him. I did not wait for the following day to iron out this difficulty and with the ten shirts carefully held under my arm, I marched to the laundry. It was a small shop under an inexpensive brownstone, apart- ment house with narrow stone steps lead- ing down from the sidewalk where you could glimpse the dirt streaked window and the words, Laundry- Sun Yet Sen. A't the moment the little, miniature, silver bell above the door tinkled, Sun Yet Sen himself appeared. Last july, I began peacefully, I brought ten of my favorite Lady Pepperrell sheets in here to be laundered. Evidently-there was a misunderstanding-for my sister brought home shirts. Here they are 3-now I'd like my sheets. 'tMe no gut no sheets. His face remained expressionless. But here's the bill. I waved the white slip of paper before his eyes, my calmness diminishing rapidly. Me no gut your sheets, his tone was de- finite. But you have, I argued helplessly, an- ger rising in my throat. Me no gut sheets. Now me take shirts. VVhy-that's outrageousf, I was so an- gered that my voice was only a whisper. I'll call the police if you don't give me my shirts,-I mean sheets. Help! Police! screamed the red ski1't- ed Chinaman. I stood motionless and speechless as 'two burly policemen ran down the stair in ans- wer to his shrill summons. What's the trouble? demanded the tall one, and I felt a curious sensation as two pistols were aimed at me. He stole my favorite Lady Pepperrell sheets, I managed to gasp. V Me no gut her sheets. He has- and I poured the whole story in the perplexed ears of the policemen. After changing the direction in which the gun pointed, they searched high and low for my Lady Pepperrell sheets, but they were no- where. Lady,-you'll have to take the shirts! Oh, I wailed, but I have no man in the house! ' The disturbed face of the blue uniformed man brightened, and he leaned forward to whisper in my ear. I agreed and the next day the neighbors were puzzled to find this sign on my door, Man wanted-to fit ten shirts! Eleanor Brown, '47 -- C H S -' THE TOWN CLERK An eccentric old man who had been the local clerk for thirty years was the first person I saw when I entered the small scrag- gly town of Hampton. The first time I had visited there, it had been prosperous and happy. But the long arms of time had en- veloped 'the thriftiness and merged its yquthfulness into decrepit age. A specimen of its work approached me now. Although actually only fifty years of age, Mr. Mars- den gave the definite impression of eighty at the least. His stooped, round shoulders told anyone clearly that no attention had been paid to mother's, father's and teach- er's warnings, Shoulders up, chest out, and head high ! The scrawny, tapering fin- gers holding an intricately carved cane be- spoke the clerical work, without bodily toil. which he was still doing. Insufficient light and prolonged use of bright brown eyes had made them dull and without enthusiasm. His once smooth face was now wreathed in countless wrinkles. Because of the unusual- ly bent form, his medium height of 5 feet IO inches was now reduced to 5 feet 8 inches. As there was no need for dressy clothes in such a town, Mr. Marsden more than followed the example by wearing cloth- es which looked as though they had been slept in for at least ten years. I felt as though I should in some way make every- one understand that this example may be- come common throughou't the world if in- I8 THE MEGUNTICOOK I terest intgood appearance, worthwhile jobs, and wholesome entertainment fail in old age.

Helen Dority, '46 - C H S - coM1c Book, THE MODERN STUDY AID ' ln this world of speed and streamlining, the inhabitants of this planet have seen re- velations in every field. Typical of these is the entrance of the Comic Book into the life of the modern minor, lt is a common sight to see a studious school boy deep in the realms of Superman, while Caesar stands unoticed. He will soon tire of reading about the freeing of the slaves, but continues to read for hours, ab- sorbing the adventures of Batman, who li- berates 'the modern metropolis from the clutches of the underworld. To many stu- dents, algebra and languages are a mystery, but they clearly see how Dick Tracy found that Flat Top killed John's Other Wife.

This party is in observance of a weird anniversary. When the clock strikes eleven, Sir Charles is to inheri't two million pounds. Many years before, a man had been slain in the opera house, a dumb girl had ap- peared, and the ghost of the murdered man flitted onto the stage after the dumb girl's death, so that the murder was revealed. This, according to 'the prophecy, was to be repeated in fifty-five years.

Then the day of reckoning came with our first rally, and we were struck with the realization that we hadn't any cheers. It was now December, and from day to day we had postponed practicing by convinc- ing ourselves that we had plenty of time. Uh dear! What to dol? There was Qlence for two seconds-then the light dawned. Miss Goodwin, we breathed. We gladly relinquished our stud- ies for a goodncause, tthough I haven't the opinion that the teachers thought likewisej and went upstairs to make spectacles of ourselves. There we went through a trying forty five minutes and came out with the opinion that cheerleading wasn't such a cinch after all. And we unanimously agreed when debut time arrived-the game with Boothbay. All day long I couldn't keep my mind in school, my studies were sadly neglected, and I had- n't eaten a thing all day. Then as the zero hour approached the five of us, feeling as if we were going to the dentist, went through the movements in our minds. But, thank goodness, Boothbay had no cheer- leaders: thus no competition. So we thought but we were sadly mistaken. Without any they made more noise than we did. The evening passed, our nervousness decreased, and by the time our boys had chalked up a victory we were completely at ease- iwell, almos't thenj. Cheers, yes, we needed some new cheers. Most of them were as old as Methuselah. So letters went to Florida, Oregon, and all over the United States and that is how we got our trademark, Down by the River. So. before the nex't game in which we would present it, we practiced and re- hearsed and practiced some more until we were absolutely sure we were in step. But all our bright plans went up in smoke, the Y was bulging with people, and we realized that there was a good percentage from Rockland. All our carefully laid plans were completely forgotten in our bewilderment. And oh. those Rockland cheerleaders were so cute and experienced. But we lived and nobody noticed whether or not we were out of step fl hopej because the game was enough to hold anybody's interest. And thus we trucked through all the games: Thomaston, VValdoboro, Lincoln, and all 'the rest. For all the hard work, nu- merous practices, aching shoulders, and sad cases of laryngitis we are very glad that one of our passing fancies is a reasonable success Cahemj and peeks of fun. - C H S - FACULTY Carlton P.

R., former faculty mem- ber of Camden High School, has been pro- moted to the rank of commander. BASEBALL 1944 Camden finished its season with seven wins against three defeats. This left us tied with Rockland for second place. The season might have been considerably better if it had not been for several unexpected heart- breakers. Camden beat the Champion Thomaston 'team twice but was unable to play the breaks and dropped three tough games. Conway deserved to win the Vinal- haven game, but the Rockland game was a Comedy of Errors. The only excuse given for the loss to Lincoln Academy was the heat as the team said, but that doesn't seem much of an excuse. Once again we are indebted to Mr. llorr for coaching us through another season. He has been an able coach and has co-operated with the school in all its activities. Our only regret is 'that we could not have celebrated the fs birth of his son, May l9, by a victory over Rockland. llere is a summary of the scores: Camden Won 73 Lost 3 Camden 5 .Rockland 4 Camden l-l Yinalhaven 0 Camden 3 Vinalhaven 8 Camden fm Rockport 2 Camden 3 Lincoln .-Xcademy 8 Camden 8 Thomaston 6 Camden 7 Rockland 8 Camden 9 Rockport 8 Camden 8 Lincoln Academy 6 Camden 12 Thomaston 4 lotals: Camden 75: Opponents 54. -- C H S - Camden vs. Rockland Camden opened its season with a 5-4 vic- tory over Rockland. Rockland scored first in the first inning and held the lead up to the sixth. Trailing 3-0 going into the last half of the sixth Hodson opened with a SI 01 t.' single. Burkett walked and two wild throws tied it up. Rockland picked up another run in the top of the seventh and lead 4-3. Trail- ing by this score in the last of the ninth, Camden rallied. XYilliams tripled and suc- cessive singles by Bryant, Hodson, Tim. and Leonard put the game on ice. Camden vs. Vinalhaven 1st game Camden had little trouble in winning its second league game of the season l-l-0. Be- hind Bryant's three-hit pitching and backed by a eighteen hit barrage, there was little to worry about. Grindle, NYilliams. True. and Knight each got two hits a piece for Cam- den while Conway. Coombs, and l-lelwick got the only hits for Vinalhaven. Camden vs. Vinalhaven 2nd game In the second game of the doubleheader it was a different story. Conway had the Camden sluggers baffled and won out by 33. Conway was very effective allowing only four hits, two by Hodson, and the others by Burkett and True. Carver's two hits and Greenleafs 'triple paced the Yinal- haven attack. Camden vs. Rockport Camden won its third game of the sea- son at Camden 6-2. Bryant pitched all the game allowing ten hits and striking out nine. Camden got off 'to an carlv lead in the second inning and was never headed, Bryant, Burkett, Knight, and XYadsworth each connected for two hits while .'Xnnis's three singles were tops for Rockport. Camden vs. Lincoln Academy Camden High lost its second game of the season in its first game away from home 7-2. Lincoln scored three times in the first inn- ing and was never headed.

Mil'ton Wheaton hit a long double into right centerfield for the longest hit of the day. Camden vs. Lincoln Camden Diamondeers met the Lincoln Academy nine on the Camden field. Jackie Williams was the boy of the day when he smashed a home run with two on in the eighth 'to put Camden in front 8-6. Bryant held the Academy boys to thirteen hits, but he kept them well scattered and had great support from the infield. Camden at Thomaston Camden ended its baseball season by de- fea'ting Thomaston 12-4. Camden was the only-team to beat Thomaston twice. Bur- kett was very effective 011 the mound al- lowing only nine hits, and he kept them well scattered. He fanned four and walked three. Kangas started for Thomaston but was touched for six runs in the first two innings and was replaced by Neal and Kelly in the seventh.

The boys lost their first game to Cony, then they won nine straight games before their jinx caught up, and Rockland ran over them. Coach Dorr did a fine job this year, and he is to be commended for the way he handled the team. He was always there at quarter to five and at no other time. Game after game, whether we were behind or ahead, the Coaching Pastor would al- ways give us new spirit by telling us, I 'think you can take them, boys, if you settle down and play ball. Crindle was the team's high-scorer this year, averaging 14 points per game and hav- ing the best foul shot average of the first five men for the number of trials. Williams played hard and well this year. He set up many plays and was one of the key defence men in the Camden lineup. Tall, rangy, Ray Allen set up 'the plays and dropped in some nice long shots when the Camden quintet couldn't seem to get started. He controlled most of the opponents backboards and Cam- den rebounds as well. Basil Bryant, right guard. stopped scoring plays time and time again, and his trick shots were a big factor in Camden's great seasong while 'Elmer Leonard, left guard, was the other man who stayed behind to guard our basket and to watch the opposing men who were breaking fast if we had lost 'the ball. These two guards we believe, worked the best in the Knox- Lincoln League. Camden at Cony Camden High School opened its basket- ball season at Augusta. Cony won 52 to 35. The fact that Cony was a much larger school and had players much taller, had something to do with the scoring, and too. the Camden Boys were bewildered bv the large floor. Cony ran up a fast 14 to S lead in the first quarter, but in the second quarter Camden found itself and closed the gap 24 to 16. Camden fought hard in the 'third quarter and Cony outscored us 10 to 9. Cony came back in the final period and outbat- tled us 17 to ll in the last quarter. Folsom and Webe led the Cony a'ttack with 14 and 12 points respectively, while Grindle and Allen dropped in 11 and 9 points for Cam- den. THE MEG NTICOOK 33 Camden vs. Boothbay Harbor Camden High beat Boothbay Harbor, with ease, 33 to ll. Camden got off to a slowstart as usual, but had no trouble in 'taking the Harbor boys. Bryant and Grin- dle, with 12 and 11 points. led the way. Camden Murders Rockland Camden High bounced back and whaled Rockland High School, 38 to 23. Rockland started off in grand style, but their lead was quickly whittled down as Allen and Grindle dropped in baskets from all corners of the court. The Camden team rang up 15 poin'ts to Rockland's 7. In the second quarter Cam- den kept up a fast moving offense, and the Tigers found it impossible to crack the Camden defense. McLellan dropped in a few long shots to keep Rockland in the fight. In the 'third quarter Allen and Grin- dle opened up again and got a 14 point lead to put the game on ice. Allen and Grindle were high for Camden 16 and 10 points re- spectively, while McLellun and Kelsey were high for Rockland with 9 and 8 points. Camden at Lincoln Academy Camden High School won its third straight game by 'trouncing Lincoln 41 toll. Only four times did the Lincoln Boys fill the Camden basket. Grindle dropped in 17 points, and Allen dropped in 9. Camden at Thomaston Camden and Thomaston met head on in one of the most hotly contested games this season. Thomaston out scored us the first half so that Camden was trailing 15 to 14, but the Camden boys found themselves in the third quarter and ran up a 26 to 19 lead. In the final quarter three of the Thomaston six-footers fouled out, and that hurt Thom- aston's chances. The game ended 34 to 24. Camden at Waldoboro Camden won its fifth game of the season by running up a 45 to 25 score. Camden got off to a slow start, and the first period end- ed 13 to 2. At the half time Camden was well out in front with a 23 to 10 lead. After the third quarter it was noted that only a miracle could pull the game out for Walclo- boro. As the game ended, Camden had stacked up one victory against each team in the League. Grindle and VVil1iams were high for Camden with 19 and 10 respectively, while Moody was high for Waldoboro with 9 points. Camden vs. Lincoln Camden High boys rang up their sixth consecutive league win by running over Lincoln 64 to 21. Allen scored 21 points to score as many as the losing team. Grindle and Williams chucked in 18 and 11 points while Berry and Pierce each dropped in six points for the losers. Camden vs. Thomaston Coach Dorr's boys kept moving and won their 7th game in a row. Camden suffered a severe blow when Bold Basil Bryant was lost to the team, but Allen and Grindle found the range in the third quarter and that put the game on ice. Crrindle and Allen were high for Camden with 16 and 14 points while Kangas dropped in 8 points for the op- ponents. Camden at Boothbay Camden won its ninth straight and eight in the League when it overwhelmed Booth- bay 43 to 28. Camden led the first quarter 9 to 7, and 17 to 13 at the half. Camden then began to pull away from the Harbor boys as Allen ran wild to score 19 points, and Greenleaf dropped in ll points for the losers. Tigers Claw Camden Rockland High gave Camden one of its most serious setbacks 'this year when they pounded out a 47 to 29 victory. Camden led in the first quarter by 4 points. but in the second quarter Rockland ran up 13 points to Camden's 4. The last quarter was a run away for Lime City. Kelsey dropped in 15 points and Flint 10. McLellan and Flint passed beautifully, and the Rockland defense was air tight. Bryant and Grindle were high for Camden with 14 and 7 points respectively. Camden vs. Waldoboro Camden High School cracked down on Walclolnoro and came up with a 62 to 19 count. After taking a murderous defeat at the hand of Rockland, the Camden boys roared into action, and every member of the team played. Grindle and Allen were high with 25 and 23 points apiece. while Moody dropped in 8 points in a losing cause. Rockland Wins Championship Rockland High School nosed out Camden 35 to 32 in one of the most exci'ting games ever played at Walcloluoro. Camden start- 34 A THE MEG UNTICOOK ed off with a basket by Allen in the first few seconds and the lead changed hands two or three times before the firs't quarter ended 12 to 9. In the second half it was flip and tuck with Camden making the most of their foul shots and McLellan kept dropping them from the center to keep Rockland ir1 the lead at the half, 16 to 14. In the third quarter McLellan fouled out. and Grindle and Williams teamed up to give Camden a light margin, 26 to 24. ln the final quarter with two minutes left to play Camden had a five point lead but all of a sudden Donald Kelly dropped in two quick baskets from the center and 'then little Jackie Williams broke loose to tie it up but then Teel drop- ped in a long one and this-cinched the game for Rockland.

In the Non-League games Camden also showed its powerful ability to play basketball. There is much hope that the Camden Girls, Team will be the Knox- Lincoln Champions next year, because the squad will lose only one girl from the first team. v The girls composing the squad this sea- son were: Seniors, Marjorie Plaisted a11d Clara Tremblay, Juniors, Edna Rankin, Mary Galanti, Kay Libby, Chris Goodman, Frances Stanley, Shirley Cookson, Joan Greenlaw, and Virginia Fish, Sophomores, Blanche Bryant, Anna Sparta, janet Foster, Connie Knight, Freshmen, Kay Poland, .Ioye True, Gloria Manning, joyce Fish, and julie Thomas. ' Camden Takes Boothbay 42-18 In the first League game of the year the fast-playing Camden girls defeated Booth- bay Harbor by 24 points. All of Camden's players got into the game and proved their ability to play basketball. Galanti racked up 27 points for Camden, while McDougall netted 13 points for the Boothbay Harbor lassies. f Camden Loses to Rockland 22-18 The second league game with Rockland proved to be a very exciting game. Both teams played hard, and at the half the Cam- den girls had a 2 point lead. However, in the 'third quarter the Lime City girls pulled out lin front, and the game ended in their favor. 22-18. Rankin chalkedup 10 points for Camden, and Howard turned in an equal amount for Rockland. Camden and Lincoln Tie 33-33 The Camden Teams journeyed to New- castle where it played a powerful Lincoln Academy team. Both teams fought hard to come ou't the victor of the game, but the game ended in a 33-33 deadlock. Galanti was Camden's high scorer with 14 points: Parsons scored 17 points for Lincoln Acad- emv. Camden Trips Thomaston 27-24 Like the game with Lincoln Academy, both teams struggled hard in order to win. However, with Goodman, Plaisted, and Stanley doing good work in the guard sec- tion, 'the Camden team won the game. Ran- kin threw in 13 points for the home team, while Porter also scored 13 points for the Black and White. Camden Takes Waldoboro 31-19 In the first half the game started very slowly with Camden ahead at 'the end of the second quarter 12-8. However, in the last half of the game, the Camden guards held down their opponents quite neatly, and Cam- den defeated VValdoboro by 12 points. Lib- by sank 5 field goals and threw in 3 out of 3 foul sho'ts totaling 13 points: H. Morse turned in 9 points for VValdoboro. Camden Defeated by Lincoln 33-37 In this game Lincoln Academy was de- termined to win and so was Camden, but Lincoln managed.to keep ahead by just a few points all through the second ha.f. Rankin was high scorer for Camden with 19 points, Parsons scored 16 points for Lin- coln. Camden Upset by Thomaston 35-40 Although Camden put up a great fight and threatened the Thomaston team real often, the opponents defeated the home team by only 5 points. Galanti tallied a total of 20 points, while Ross scored 18 points for the Thomaston girls. Camden Topples Boothbay 48-29 In the first half of the game, the Booth- bay team was fas't-playing and their shots were neat. They managed to lead at the end of the half 25-24. In the last half the Camden team doubled their score, and the home team's guards. Goodman, lllaisted, and Stanley didn't let 'their opponents score more than 4 points. Rankin collected 2l points: Giles of Boothbay Harbor turned in 14 points for her team. Camden Pins Down Rockland 24-18 The Camden girls, having been defeated on their own floor by 4 points by Rockland earlier in the season, were determined to upset Rockland's plans jo win. Up until the last quarter it was hard to tell which tea-m would come out ahead, but in the last min- utes of the 4th quarter, the Camden gills came out on top. Our home team's guards and forwards played a really good game, with Rankin sinking 10 points. Huntley scored 10 points also for the Lime City girls. THE MEGUNTICOOK 37 Camden Whacks Waldoboro 45-21 ln the very last league game of the sea- son, the Camden team showed that they play very good basketball by defeating the XYaldoboro girls to the tune of -l5-2l. Galanti with 16 points and Libby with an equal amount of points made a total together of 32 points. Morse and Hilton turned in 7 points each for their team. emy games. This showed that, with Miss Oliver as their capable coach, the girls play- ed some really good games. liven if several of the players on this year's softball team were graduated in june, in the spring of '45 the girls ought to have a good team, backed by the blunior and Sophomore veter- ans.
