'Rlitlltll at A? -3- ig- Y EL , .-1 MORE THAN ONE WAY TO KILL A CAT In the days of the Ul,I'tll1ll7llIlOI'l,H a cer- tain man, whose name l will not mention, found himself so greatly in need of funds that he could not even buy a quart of the upholder of his life and his main power of locomotion, a bottle of raw, unadulterated VVhiskey. 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. Warren Kelleher, '47 - C H S - LATE AS USUAL Listen my classmates and you shall hear a tale of the school we all hold dear. The door of Camden High was slammed with a very loud bang. Then a slight shuffling as the unknown person prepares to take off his overshoes. A short silence follows this small task and suddenly a noise sounding more like thunderg then foosteps announce the presence of the unseen character ascend- ing the stairs. A second later a head pops around 'the door of the office and lo and be- hold, Leonard is late as usual! Kris Goodman, '46
