So many good stories and poems have been turned in that the board has had a hard time making the decision. We hope that you approve of our selection and will enjoy the magazine. We give special thanks to the business- men of Camden and near-by towns who by their aid and co-operation have helped to make the publication of this year book possible. M C H S - EDITORIAL About now on the radio, in the news- papers, and in magazines, the chief topic of conversation is the presidential election. On the Republican side, it seems that every other man has his eye on the presi- dential chair. In the Democratic ranks there has developed a serious split- Truman Democrats against Wallace's Third Party. lt isn't the first time in our country's history that we've had a third party. Teddy Roosevelt back in 1912 and Senator Robert La Follette in 1924 made strong, but unsuccessful attempts. They were of no danger to the country though. Their aims, in general, were the same as the other major parties. Wallace's are not. His power has been increasing greatly in the last few years. Though not of enough importance to be elected this year, he will be continually growing stronger and may prove successful in 1952. One of the first to realize the danger of the Wallace menace was the late Presi- dent Roosevelt who, in 1944 chose Harry Truman for his running mate in place of Henry Wallace. It is important that the American people understand Wallace's ideas and realize how harmful they would prove to the American way of life. We should carefully look over the list of candidates and choose the one that we think is the most suited for the job. Don't vote for a man just because he is a Repub- lican or a Democrat. There have been great presidents on both sides. Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt were two of the greatest Republican presidents, while Wil- son and F. D. R. were great Democratic presidents. It's primarily the man not the party. Above all, use your right to vote. People of many countries would give their lives for the act that so many Americans ne- glect or abuse. The next few years will be the most im- portant in our history. They can be either the foundation for a lasting peace or the beginning of a number of wars that will eventually lead to our complete destruc- tion. It all depends on the voter and youth of America. The story can have a happy or a sad ending. THE MEGUNTICOOK p 3 MEGUNTICOOK BOARD First Row: Stanley Payson, Joan Brown, Barbaia Burrage, Sylvia Gundersen.

When Dad, Mom, and their fathers and mothers were young, did they have the same responsibilities and problems that we, the Youth of today, have? For ins- tance, did they have the threat of a de- pression staring them in the face? Did they have to think about going into the Army for a year or so of military train- ing? Did they have the problems at home of the high cost of living? I think Youth always has had and always will have its problems. Some generations might have greater problems than others, though they all have them in one way or another. But, no matter how many different problems the Youth of each generation may have, there's always one big problem in which they are united. And that is that the Youth of Today, as well as the Youth of Yesterday, and the Youth of Tomorrow, are going to be the Future Adult America. So, come on Youth, let's get going! Let's dig in and acquire all the learning and knowedge we can. Let's prepare ourselves to be a sensible, peace-loving, intelligent, Adult America. Let us train ourselves to step into the shoes of our fathers and build this nation into a nation of happy, healthful, people. Let us prepare the future to be one in which our Youth of Tomorrow will have the opportunity to grow up in a world of peaceful people. Let there be peace on earth, good will toward men. Alan Hatch '48 - C H S - FACULTY CHANGES We have two new teachers at Camden High this year. Mr. Leroy Young, a grad- uate of Colby College filled the vacancy left by Mr. Frederick Richards, who resigned to accept the Principalship of Rockport High School. Mr. Young has had four years experience in Maine Schools. He helped to start the newly-formed Intramural Council and was also the coach of the Champion Legion Team. Miss Carolyn Dudley assumed the duties of the Home Economics Department left vacant by the resignation of Miss Madeline Nevers. Miss Dudley is from Kingfield, Maine, and is a graduate of the State Teachers College at Farmington. 4 THE MEGUNTICOOK SlENlOR SlECTllON We started back in 1944 as a class of very green Freshmen. The first day in high school, we were amazed at the free- dom and ease with which the upper class- men did their work. We wondered if we would ever be as great as they. Our first big event was Freshman Re- ception. How this year's Freshman Class would have laughed if they could have seen the mighty Seniors then. After a whole week, Cwe were the last class to have it a whole weekj the climax was reached on Friday night-Friday, the 13th of October, to be exact. We all had a good time that night and escaped without the smallest scratch. We were now offi- cially accepted. Basketball season began and several of our boys and girls went out for it. Others watched the Near- Championship Boys, Team win almost every game, but lose at the crucial game with Rockland. Summer came and was followed by fall and we were Sophomores. We happily watched the antics of the Freshmen and wondered if we ever could have been like that. Several of our girls played on the Championship Basketball Team. Summer came again, again followed by fall, and we were Juniors. It gave us a feeling of superiority to sit in the back half of the Main Room where the Seniors sat. We had a Junior Prom that year. Everybody that went had a good time, but it could hardly be called a success. In June we marched down the aisle and took our places in the front rows and watched the Seniors graduate. We were sorry to see them go, but glad that we had finally made it. We were Seniors! Summer passed quickly, and we started back to school for our fourth and last year. The first thing we thought about was Freshman Reception. We had a hard time agreeing on the date, but finally, after many discussions it was decided upon. We tried to be hard on the Freshmen and make them do in two days all the things we had been made to do in five. We thought of making them march down Main Street preceded by the band, but that idea was abandoned when we found we needed a license to parade. The Night Reception was the best since we've been in high school, except possibly our own. Just about then, we got our class rings. We were now officially Seniors. In October we took our trip to the White Mountains that had been promised us in place of our Junior Class Trip. Those that went will never forget the ride up and back, the trip up Cannon Mountain in the Tramway, the view from the top, the Old Man of the Mountains, and the many other things we crowded into that one eventful day. In November the cast was chosen for the Senior play and the play was presented on the 18th of December at the Opera House. We had a good turn-out and had at last accomplished something that was a complete success. THE MEGUNTICOOK 5 Now with practically four years of high school behind us, we're looking forward to our planned trip to Washington in April, our Quebec trip in May, and our graduation week in June. For some, grad- uation will be the last of school, for others, just the beginning, but for all it will end one of the most memorable times of our lives. We hope that future senior classes will sometimes look back and recall that notorious class of '48. - C H S - SENIOR AVERAGES 1. Barbara Burrage ............. .. 95.31 2.

Pm sure we'll miss the basketball, Softball and baseball, too, And the times We heard that grand old band Play songs both old and new. You remember that Freshman Reception.- All the jokes the Seniors played, How we waited impatiently for the time When our debts could be repaid. The memories of our Junior year Will always linger on- The niglrt we dressed in tuxs and gowns And attended the Junior Prom. Our graduation will soon be here- The time for ia last goodbye, But we'll never forget the good days We had at Camden High. Peewee - C H S - CLASS OF '48 I opened my album and looked at the date- Twenty years ago-1948. There was Leo, the most studious of boys, Who made a fortune designing children's toys.

Harold Brown and Arthur Lunt are Admirals in the Navy, And at every port they're sure to find a lady. Donald Brownell and his bride, Andrea Jones, Have traveled to Egypt 'to dig up old bones.

Fred Duncan and his blonde wife, Georgette, Have bpught an old hotel, whose rooms they try to et. Howard Dyer just won the Olympic Race, And has startled the world Wirth his terrific pace. Joan Eupea has gone to far-away Spain, Writing of the people, she used to know in Maine. Sylvia married that boy named Alan Hatch, According to all reports, he certainly was a catch. The Executive Secretary for the President is Nancv Hall, If rumor has it right, they will marry in the fall. Roberta was to marry on a certain date, Bwt it never came about 'cause s-he was much too late. Marion Hary is on a world's tour, She will next appear on the English moor. 6 THE MEGUNTICOOK Beverly Hooper to the love lorn is giving good advice, VVhile at Audrey Pease, they're continually throw- ing rice.

Okay, won't you come in ? you ask. Sure. Oh, boy! Is your heart going thump! thump! She sits down. So do you. You awkward- ly try to begin a conversation but hardly with any success.

Finally your girl gets tired of dancing and you suggest a snack and swap some gabs. Well, it is midnight and your girl says that she'd better go. Oh well, you'd better let her go or her parents will murder her, and you would not want the responsibility. Oh! Oh! She sees a mouse!

Scarcely her lips touch yours: a hand comes down on your shoulder, and you come down to the earth with a plop! And you find that it is seven o'clock in the morning, and your mother, shaking you, is saying, t'Wake up, wake up, you have been having a nightmare!

As he started slowly making his way up its path, his new skis reflected the sun's light against the snow. He gripped his poles tightly in his hands and with grim determination slowly continued up the snow-capped mountain side. It seemed hours before he reached the top but, with one last effort he made the top of the mountain side and looked slowly down over the ski trail which he was soon to try for the first time The longer he stared at that steep trail the more danger- ous and foolish it seemed to try it. Don had just made up his mind to turn back when his chum gave him a gentle push, just enough to start him flying over the smooth surface of the trail. He expected at any moment to feel quick pain and then death, but instead the wind blowing against his face and the snow-covered ground flying by beneath him seemed to make him feel grand and stately as if he owned this whole world. He kept racing on over the 'blazing trail of glory, as it seemed to him, without so much as touch- ing the ground. Don had no idea, how to stop when at last he reached the end of the trail and took a sudden dive forward. As he drew his head out of the snowbank he picked himself up and looked once more up the side of this gigantic mountain. Don suddenly felt full of pride and started once more up the trail, but this time his steps were firm and sure for was he not the con- queror of this mountain. Betsy Wooster '51 f C H S - C. H. S. GOES MODERN As the unwary person strolls up the walk at C. H. S. he finds himself being car- ried along by a moving belt which takes him right to the door, which opens by means of an electric, supersonic wave. As you enter the door you see a wide, well- lighted corridor with groups of boys and girls discussing the revolution on Mars which is a regular stopping place for the Inter-world Transportation Company, better known to the people of '48 and '49 as the Boston and Maine. Instead of stairs there are silent and well-filled eleva- tors that take you to your classes. You never have any written home workg you make a recording, on the automatic re- corder and pass it to a big sorting machine on the 33rd floor hall that turns it over to a teacher of that particular subject. The rooms in this building are quite large, the seats are covered with soft cush- ions, and the desks are adjustable to your individual height. The walls are of a soft, tinted shade, covered with pictures of the faculties of years gone by. In the Home Economics Department you find neat white equipment, and new stoves in which you place an atomic pellet and have all the heat needed. ' The girls wear uniforms of pale rose, green, blue, or yellow according to their classes. In the Study Library there are soft, comfortable chairs, wonderful lights, shelves of books, and manuscripts written by former students. This room seats 650 persons, and it is very seldom empty. The boys and girls of 1999 are well-bal- anced and healthy individuals. Most of them are geniuses. -CHS-- ROUND TRIP TO MARS For five years the two scientists had been working on their now famous atomic rocket ship. About a week ago they had finished construction, and now they were planning a trip to Mars. The younger of the two, Joe Fidige, was downtown, mak- ing the last-minute preparations. You know the kind, notifying the post oflice of the change in address and telling the laundry man where to make the next pick- up. Sam Blotto, the other scientist, had made a box of peanut-butter sandwiches to eat on the way. CNeither of the two can go on a trip without eating all the way. Just like Laite and Ryder.J The close of the day found them both ready for the take-off. They had brought an extra laboratory crew for just that day. The sky was being closely watched for signs of the planet, so that when it appeared their ship could be shot at it with power from the laboratory thus sav- ing the fuel in the ship for the return trip. Just then, Mars came up from behind a mountain and Wham! they were off on their journey. Look, here comes, I mean, there goes the moon. That's just how fast they were going. In five minutes they would reach Mars. Joe set the controls so THE MEGUNTICOOK 17 they would circle the planet several times before they landed. . Just think of it! We're the first people ever to travel between the earth and other planets, said Sam. They were just starting to circle Mars. The first time around revealed a bright red flash on the planet. The second time around, Sam jammed on the air brakesg and if the right guy could be found they would have made an important scientific discovery pertaining to space travel. The next day, when interviewed by re- porters back on earth, they said, That second time around let all our hopes that we were the first space travelers right down to rock bottom because there was a neon sign about one hundred miles high saying 'KILROY WAS HERE! When we saw that we just quit and came home. Jim McGrath '51 Author's note: It's really amazing how that Kilroy gets around. - C H S - MARION'S RIDE Marion and her man one day Went riding in his Chevrolet. Her man was fat and his name was Frank, And he was something of a crank. It was too bad he wasn't smarter, But Frank just couldn't work the starter. She showed him how-the little dear- And also how to shift the gear. Away they went-abut something broke, 'Twas just a measly little spoke. He fixed it with ra piece of wire, Then something popped-it was a tire. 'Twas mended soon and then ker-plop- They hit a branch and smashed the top. Dear me, cried Marion, 'Ilhat's too much! Then something happened to the clutch And then poor Frankie-unlucky dub, Just grabbed a rock and smashed a hub. They crossed a brook and missed a Ford And sank in mud to the running board. Oh, Frankie, cried Marion with a squeal, HI think we're going to lose a wheel! They went up a hill and then 'twas seen, The tank contained no gasoline. They coasted downward toward a lakeg 'Dhen something happened to the brake. They struck a pole a minute later And almost broke the radiator. So both climbed out, and poor old Frank Brought gasoline and filled the :tank And gathered up from all around The precious parts strewed on the ground. But 'twas useless then to sweat and toilg Nothing would run except the oil. They journeyed home with Frankie pushing While our Mousey sobbed upon a cushion. And Frankie's hopes were doomed rthat night 'Cause Mousey married Billy Knight. K J. True '48 I DOUBT IT! The scene of this little story is in Miss Oliver's room at noontime on January 28, 1948. Mouse Hary and Barb Burrage are playing cribbage. The game is fast and furious and suddenly in the midst of flying cards, Monsieur Payson walks in! Let's play 'I Doubt It', he says, dis- regarding the cribbage players' remarks. Okay, shuffle the cards, says Pe-e-Wee Brown. Milton Wheaton and Eddie Stanley draw up chairs and the game is begun. Payson starts the game by laying two cards face down and saying in a confident voice, Two aces. Milton looks suspiciously at the others and adds another card to the pile. One dence. And so the game continues, Burrage playing her own scientific method, Mouse shouting, I doubt it E at every other card, and with every player doubting everyone else. By this time, a number of spectators have gathered around the group, and lunch, studying, and To be or not to be are all forgotten in the fascination of the game. Monsieur Payson is doing his best, but he just can't seem to cheat without a sly grin creeping over his face. As a result, every time he grins, someone shouts, I doubt it, and Payson is stuck again. Time passes. Payson, Eddie, and Pee- Wee have just one card left in their hands. The pile of cards in the middle was never stacked higher and it is our famous French teacher's turn. He takes a deep breath, unnoticed by the others, and quick- ly lays down his one remaining card, say- ing in a slightly shaky voice, One seven. I doubt it! shouts Mouse loudly. Payson glares at her and picks up the pile of cards. Eddie grins as he puts down his lone card and says rather hopefully, One eight. I doubt that eight, comes a voice from the circle. Eddie groans and takes back the jack he had tried to pass off as an eight. The tension mounts as Pee-Wee lays down her last card. One nine. I doubt it! l roars Payson at the same moment. Everyone looks at Pee-Wee. 18 THE MEGUNTICOOK Take it, she says, laughing at the startled expression on Paysonis face. At that minute the bell rings and the in- dustrious students return to their home rooms. Payson is left with about 45 cards in his hands plus a newly-acquired nine of hearts. There is a blank expression on his face as he walks back to his room, muttering under his breath to get revenge the next day. Thus ends a typical quiet noon hour at Camden High School. Julie Thomas '48 - C H S - FAME, SECLUSION, OR PEACE What has happened to Juliana Benbolt? Where is she? Why did she disappear? Is she still alive? Will she ever be found? These are some of the questions that were being asked one day in the village of Set- sun, as the group of townspeople gathered for their daily chat in the telegraph ofiice. This office was practically their only means of communication with the outside world. Of course, telephones were in com- mon useg but the old villagers did not dare have one in their homes-the current superstition being that if you were awak- ened by the ringing of one, it would in- variably bring you news of death. News- papers came to the town daily, but not many would read them-the general opin- ion being that the less you knew of world aiairs, the better oi you were. Their only source of news was the back-fence gos- sips, and they were on the job continually, day and night. So now you have a general idea of the inhabitants of this pleasant, idyll, little town of Setsun. What of Juliana Benbolt? Well, for days the people had talked of nothing but Juliana Benbolt, Everyone knew her, a sweet, gentle, young lady who had lived among them for twenty years. Why all this agitation over sweet Juliana? She had disappeared. One day she had been there, teaching the grubby children who came to her school to learn to read and write, and the next she was gone. No word of warn- ing had been given to the people who were amazed that something had happened which they had not known of weeks in ad- vance. Can you imagine their consterna- tion over this tragic event? One day a fisherman came in from his work and told them a strange story. As he had been hauling in his traps he noticed that one of them was rather heavier than usual, and as he peered into the water to see what was tangled in the rope, he saw a mass of golden hair slowly rising and a white arm reached up to him. Then, it slipped suddenly from the line and sank once more to the inky depths out of which it had been rising. Was this the body of Juliana Benbolt-- for truly she did have long golden hair. Or was it a mass of seaweed that, in the weird, green light of the water, had given the fisherman the impression of a human form? A short time later, one of the village lads returning from a trip to the city, re- ported that he had attended a stage show -and there he had seen, acting in the lead a beautiful girl who resembled the fair Juliana to such an extent that he and sev- eral other people had become convinced that it was she. He said he had tried to go back stage to see if it were the missing girl, but the attendants would not let him. They told him her name was Lileth Janei- uste. Time passed, as it always has, and then one day a new book came to the Village General Store. This was quite an event in Setsun. Everyone came from far and near to see the novel. One elderly woman, who had been looking at the book cover, suddenly remarked that the picture of the authoress, featured on the back cover, looked exactly like the missing Juliana. So now another opinion was formed by those who believed that Juliana had neither committed suicide nor become famous upon the stage. The lovely people of Setsun disputed long and loud and would not let Juliana rest. Some say she is dead, others that she is still upon the stage, rich and famous, and the rest say that she is writing novels. And which of these is Juliana? Well, she could have gone to the city, been found by an ever-roving talent scout, and then put upon the stage. Or, as she had always been fond of writ- ing, she could have become an authoress. Sadder still, she may have tired of her weary life of teaching children, listening to stupid gossips, or reading her books, and one night walked into the sea. If you think Juliana would be happier if she were acting, making people laugh, perhaps helping them forget for a little while their troubles, then let her live her THE MEGUNTICOOK 19 life of fame upon the stage. But, if to you a novel, exciting and impractical, often impossible in the tale it tells, would be the life you would choose, then let her live quietly in seclusion, writing her books. Now, knowing the sweet, gentle Juliana very well, if you think she had no place in this era of advance, let her rest forever in the deep, green, billowy sea. Joan Eupea '48 - C H S - THE CHASE The deer chase! Ah, a subject which may be discussed by only the most-learned of scholars, such as I, not being of sound mind after twenty years in the chase. Some half-witted, befuddled souls claim sport in hunting, but it is not so. From observation and experience, I claim it is the saddest tendency in humans revealing itself. The deer, the subject of the chase, has many advantages over man such as being a very fast runner. The only thing on re- cord as having out-run a deer is the Hon. A. Johnson Talbot of Spruce Street, Cam- den. Another advantage is the deer's keen vision, comparable only to Wild Bill Stone's, also of Camden. But let us continue with the chase. We have been out all day, it is evening, and we are weary. We are hungry, and I'll give all comers three-to-one odds that we are lost. Darkness is enveloping the entire scene. Suddenly before us looms a deer, not a deer, but a buck, not just a buck, but a twenty-point buck. Every one in the chasing party fumbles with his fire-arms, some finally discharg- ing them into their buddies' backs, chests, or heads, depending on preference. One pursuer, using his tenth sense, fires at the regal creature, using great iinesse as any artist would do. Within five seconds the buck was gone, and so were five men-to heaven, perhaps. In conclusion, I will say, fwith sincere apologies to Winstonl never have so many, chased so little, so far and missed. Francis Frye '49 - C H S - DISILLUSION Life is like a star Twinkling in the heavens' high. Every thing is sihining brightly, Then 'a cloud goes by, Concealing everything. Carole Thomas '50 MY JALOPY As I was walking down town one day, I saw an old jalopy sitting beside the road. It had a For Sale sign in the window. I had been wanting an old jalopy for some time, so I thought I would go over and take a gander at it. In very small print at the bottom of the sign I read QWanted: 335. If I can't get that I'll take anything.J I thought to myself, Gee!! anything!! So home I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to get my ten dollars that I had been saving for weeks. Back I dashed!! Good, no one had gotten ahead of me. I sat on the running board of this little jalopy and waited patiently for the owner to return. Finally, a little man appeared from nowhere. S35,,' he said. No, but I have ten. Sold! he said before I could say another word. I jumped in MY jalopy and drove it home. I got some paint right away. As black was such a dull color for this cute little jalopy, I painted it yellow with a blue fender, a red fender, a pink fender, and a green fender. Gee! it looked super! I had a lot of fun in my little yellow jalopyv for the next few weeks. One day as I was riding, all of a sudden I felt a bump, and then I heard a loud crash!! Hurriedly, I got out of my jalopy, and as I stepped on the running board, down I went. The first thing I knew I was picking myself up, and Oh! what a sight!!! My jalopy wasn't a jalopy anymore-it was a wreck, Frances Hastings '49 - C H S - IN CAMDEN HIGH THERE IS Hardy but no Softie Wimpy but no Pop-Eye Hale but no Storm Brown but no Green Frye but no Boil Joye but no Sadness Bass but no Trout French but no German Wellman but no Sickman Heal but no Bread Light but no Dark Crabtree but no Apple Tree Teddy but no Bear Littlefield but no Big Field Underhill but no Overhill Spruce but no Pine Buck but no Doe Z0 THE MEGUNTICOOK A FISH STORY A lone angler, disgusted with his luck, was sitting on the bank of a small stream trying worms, plugs, spoons, spinners, flies, and every other type of artificial lure he had, but the fish wouldn't bite. Thus it came to him to try frogs. Looking around he found no frogs, but all of a sudden a water moccasin appeared with one in his mouth. Taking the frog away from him, he began to catch fish. His luck had changed. The snake, how- ever, was a sad one until the angler took a bottle of spirits from his pocket and gave the snake a drink. A different snake slid away. The angler kept catching large fish until the frog was worn out. Being unable to find another, he sat on the bank again. Then something nudged him on the leg. Back had come the snake with another frog in his mouth. David Brown '51 -CHS- WHAT A SCARE One dismal, rainy night last summer, I found myself accidently locked out CI sup- posej. I had just been to see one of those, I might say, juicy murder pictures. Naturally, I couldn't stay out all night, so I began thinking of a way to get in. Why, of course! How stupid of me! The garage door is always unlocked. I went around to the back of the house where the garage is and found the door wide open. This seemed peculiar because my father insists on having the door closed. But not thinking much about it, I went into the garage and climbed the stairs to the second iioor where the door to the house was. But before I reached the door, I heard a noise. Something moved! What could it be? Could it possibly be someone waiting to murder me? Then I saw a pair of eyes gleaming. I dashed madly down the stairs and out through the garage. My next-door neighbor had just arrived home and, upon seeing me rushing out of the garage, asked if any- thing was wrong. I told him what had happened. He went into his house and got a flashlight and a revolver. We retraced my previous route to the second floor of the garage cautiously. He directed the flashlight in the corner where I had seen the eyes. No, could it be? Yes, I guess it was my cat Cubby! Boy, was my face red. The next morning my father told me he had left the door open a little so that Cubby could get in. It apparently had blown open the rest of the way. The door was only stuck. I was ribbed by everyone for the next two months. Lawrence Sparta '49 - C H S - COULD YOU HAVE GUESSED WHO THE BIG DRIVER WAS???? One stormy night, a gang of school children, high school children that is, came walking up a drifted road in Hope. They had just come from playing cards at a friend's house, and the snow was drifted in so much that it was almost impossible to get a car through the little road. I say almost impossible because a certain ,47 Dodge car Ca black coupe, at thatj was stuck right in the middle of a large drift in the road. We noticed how the driver's side kept sinking as a large truck tried to pull the car from the drift. It made us wonder if there were an end to the drift and also why just one side of the car should sink so much. Well, it wasn't long before we found out. After the truck freed the car from the drift, the boys who were in it began to pile out. Soon the driver's door opened and who should come struggling out but- it was none other than AMOS COLLE- MER! Who would have guessed it, huh??? If any characters in this story remind you of any person, living or dead, it's purely my fault ....

Well, it's Thursday again, and in C.H.S. the bell has just rung, warning that fourth period is coming up. Slowly but surely, one by one, we saunter into the typing room. Marion is running around looking for her lost chair which seems to be the one and only for her. Everyone is leaning over his typewriter telling his closest neighbor about last night's date. In rushes Miss Sawyer, Girls, girls, she calls, let's not waste any time. We pull off our type- writer covers, insert the paper, and begin pecking away on a conditioning practice, still thinking about last night's date. CWith headaches from lack of sleep, how can we forget it?j Stop, stop! Miss ,Sawyer cries. Get ready for a speed test. There is a mad rush of changing papers, setting margins, etc., and then-silence. Go! she calls and our quiet little typing room sounds like a boiler factory. We're sweating it out, only four mistakes so far, if she'd only call time. We're beginning to get panicky. Time! she shouts, and we're sure wefve earned our certificate. We glance over our papers and still only four mistakes. We dance down the aisle, put our papers on her desk with a big smile. She looks it over with an occasional, Hmmmm. Then she looks up at us and says, USO sorry, just one little mistake too many. We are then instructed to work on our week's work. Everything is going nicely. Joan has a sudden feeling of danger and she looks up. It's a bird, it's a plane! She ducks. No, it's just Beverley's eraser soar- ing through the air to Priscilla. The bell rings. Before you can look twice everyone is gone, and our typing room is once more just a quiet little place until Friday.

Carole Thomas '50 THE MIDNIGHT VISIT OF A MOSQUITO The hall clock was striking midnight as I crawled into my little trundle-bed. Oh bliss, I thought, now for some shuteyef' As the sandman approached he brought another inhabitant of dreamland, not sc well appreciated. A mosquito! Instinc- tively, I put up my hand to swat it, missed! Inspecting my hand, I discovered a huge bump upon it, and the cause of it all flit- ting across the room. I retreated under the covers, thinking words of endearment for this sweet insect which had so honored me. Once more I heard the mosquito ap- proaching. I flung a kiss at him-missed again! ' I turned over with a sigh, what next! To my surprise, nothing. I guess I didn't miss him after all, I thought hopefully. But this peace was too good to be true. Just as I dozed off to sleep by companion made another visit, this time on the back of my neck. This delighted me so that I flung oi the bed covers, determined to find the sweet thing and thank him properly. I seized one of my dainty size 8 shoes and started my hunt. The last I heard of my love, he was in the southern corner. Sitting down in a chair to wait for him, I found the tack I had meant to hang the calender up with all day. Now my companion sounded in the northern corner. This time I hoped to finish him off by a surprise attack. In my grand rush, I turned over two chairs and a table lamp, cutting my toe on the broken glass. Anger, getting the best of reason, I flung my size 8 at him. Darn! Missed again. But I didn't miss the mirror. Boy, I thought, what a time I'm going to have cleaning up that broken mirror. I retreated to the bathroom to tape my cut toe. Ah! no mosquito. Suddenly an idea hit me. This is an ideal place to spend the night, if I want any sleep, I thought, In this case com- fort doesn't count. I only hope the shower doesn't leak. Digging a few quilts out of the hall closet, I tugged them into the bathroom where I spent the rest of the night in the bathtub. Margaret Dean '49 22 THE MEGUNTICOOK THE ANTS Even now, twenty years later, I still feel terror every time I see an ant. It was my fifth birthday, and my uncle Jim had come home from his Nicaraguan plantation to attend the party. Uncle Jim had always been my favorite uncle. He had left home at an early age and worked his way around the world, now, at the age of thirty-one, was the owner of one of the largest coffee plantations in Nicaragua. The week that Uncle Jim was to stay passed quickly, and I hated the thought of his leaving. Imagine my surprise when Mother informed me that I was going home with him for a month. Early the next morning we left in Uncle Jim's huge, black touring car. Nowadays it would be a laughable thing on the roads, but then- to me, anyway, it was the most beautiful piece of machinery ever invented. It took us nearly two weeks to reach Uncle J im's plantation. It was an immense place, and as we entered it, I thought of all the fun that I would have there. When we stepped out of the car and onto the front porch, numerous servants came to greet us, smiling, but not really smiling, as if it was a great exertion that they had barely overcome. A tall Spaniard named Jose, who seemed to be somewhat in charge, spoke something quickly to Uncle Jim, who, turning ordered Marguita, the cook, to take me in and give me something to eat. I was puzzled and worried, three times in Jose's hurried message, I had heard the word ants.', What could there be about a mere ant that could make peo- ple behave so strangely. Jim came in shortly, and I completely forgot the inci- dent. I went to bed early, and, being very tired, fell immediately asleep. I awoke the next morning to a beehive of activity. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. The laborers at the plantation seemed to be digging some kind of a ditch, not unlike the moats around Arthur- ian castles. This moat or ditch seemed to completely circumscribe the inner grounds of the plantation. I stared in wonder at the many working men. I could not ima- gine what they were trying to do. I soon forgot them, having found a dog that seemed to be very friendly. I wandered around the plantation all morning with my new-found friend, and when noon came I left him and went in to eat an enormous lunch. As we started our des- sert, a shout was heard outside. Jim rushed to the door. I followed close at his heels. A look of annoyance crossed his face. Kathy, stay back, he said to me gruffly. His voice surprised meg he had never addressed me in that tone before. Marguita took me up to my room, and told me to stay there. As soon as she had left, I sat down on the bed wondering what was going on. Uncle Jim and Mar- guita had both told me to stay in my room. My mother and father would have known better than to tell me such a thing. They would have told me not to stay there, and I would have stayed. So, naturally, as soon as I was sure Marguita was out of the way, I left my room, sneaked downstairs and out the front door. Straight ahead about 50 feet from the moat was a huge swarm of black. As I watched this swarm, I heard the agonized yelps of a dog. Then I saw him. It was my friend of the morning. He was running toward the moat, and had al- most made it when he was brought down by the black, crawling things. Before my terrified eyes, the bones of the dog showed through. I heard a shot and knew the dog would suffer no more. I started to scream and scream and scream: Suddenly I felt somebody's hands on my shoulders 3 some- body was lifting me, carrying me toward the house. It was Jim. As we went through the door, I cast one more glance to the place where the dog had been. There was no sign of him, now-only the black crawling things. I realized then, as if I'd always known, that these were ants. Ants, as I'd never imagined them. Not the com- mon insect pest, but a dangerous menace, devouring everything in sight. Jim laid me down on my bed, and I dimly saw Mar- guita beside me. Jim left, then. I remem- ber screaming some more, finally ex- hausted, I fell asleep. The next thing I knew I was in my uncle's car, and we were leaving. He looked at me and said, I was hoping you'd stay asleep, but since you're awake, close your eyes and everything will be all right. Bright Hame spread from every- where. The plantation was on fire. I tried to obey him, but I finally had to open my eyes. At nrst, I thought it was night. The windshield was completely covered with the black crawling things-the ants. I watched, fascinated, as one crawled up my arm. It stung and I hollered. Then I realized that there were ants everywhere THE MEGUNTICOOK Z3 -in the car, on Jim, on me. I started to scream again. Jim turned suddenly and hit me hard. I lay back against the seat, numbed. Jim was driving like a mad man with an uncanny sense of direction. We went for miles, it seemed, in that black ant-made night. Then, all at once, it seemed to be clearing, the mass of black was disappearing from the windshield. I saw the sun still shining. It was beautiful, wonderful. The next thing,I remember, I was in a white hospital bed. Mother and Father were leaning over me, and I was all right. I was going home soon. Then I realized that there was somebody else in the room. I didn't recognize him at first. My uncle Jim had been well over six feet and ex- tremely dark. The man standing beside my mother was bent over, with snow-white hair. It was my Uncle Jim!

Mary Kennedy '49 ANCIENT PALETONIA In ancient Paletonia, A land far across the sea, I met a wee writhe wizard, Who inquiringly gazed at me. He asked me where I wias going, And he asked me for my name, Was I straying or roving, Or could I be seeking fame. Who was this strange foreigner? From what queer land was he? Why did he ask me such questions? What did he want of me? I scanned the little man over, And gazed from his head to this feet. He was the most unique character That ever I 'happened to meet. Do you want rich velvets and satins, With gold, jewels, rubies, and lace? Then come follow me, he said, And I'll guide you to this place. I followed through highlands and meadows, Through picturesque forests of green, Past lakes and rivers and marshes, In pursuit of this place supreme.' We stopped near the foot of a mountain, At the base of an immense mossy rock, I watched as he danced and chanted, Then at intervals making a knock. As if in response to a command, The boulder with a loud rumble and roar, Moved slowly and started to open In the form of a large stone door. We entered and looked all around us-- Why here was the treasure of kin-gs! Here were the gold, silver, and satins, With jewels, laces, and rings. I was admiring all of the riches As I sat on a large golden throne, When the small man disappeared, And I was left 'there all alone. Before I had time to move, , The great stone door shut tight. Depressed, I was doomed to die In the darkness of the night. -CHS- BOYS At first I thought I liked 'em short. But next I liked 'em tall- Then after I had tried ag1ain, I decided I liked 'em all!

It has been the custom at CHS for a number of years for the seniors to have the pleasure of planning the program for that fateful evening and the few days preceding and sponsoring the reception. Therefore, as soon as the school in general had settled down for the year and while the freshmen were still meekly creeping around the school, the fun began. Fun for the upper classmen, that is. Thursday and Friday were designated as freshmen days with the reception Fri- day night. By Wednesday, a list had been posted on the fresh's bulletin board to in- struct them in the attire they were to wear and the manner in which they should conduct themselves for the following two days. The upper classmen had some real laughs those two days at the expense of the uninitiated freshmen. Then reception evening rolled aroundg and after a successful search for mater- ials, we were ready to start the real hazing. We presented the program in the form of a radio quiz show. The freshmen were called onto the stage in groups or as indi- viduals and asked simple questions. If they could not answer before a bell rang, S S S 5 S S 2 2 S S 5 N N 5 i S 5 S 5 S S 2 ia they had to pay the consequences. On the whole, the freshmen class co- operated very well, and everyone had a grand time. After about an hour of entertaivznzevrzt by the freshmen, refreshments were served, and we spent the rest of the even- ing dancing. About 11:30 we all went home. The freshmen had been oflicially accepted into CHS. -- o H s - THE CURTIS MAGAZINE DRIVE This year, as in past years, we had our annual magazine drive. Mr. Sprague, the Curtis representative, as usual, came and gave us an interesting and amusing talk. The school was divided into two groups. The Freshmen and Seniors were the Dodgers, and the Juniors and Sopho- mores were the Yankees. Johnson Talbot was General Manager, and Slyvia Gundersen was Assistant Man- ager, while each class had as its captain, its class president. The grand total that was received was S55-18.65, a little better than last year. Wentworth Burnham again was high salesman with 388.90 to his credit. - C H S - OUR TRIP TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS Because, as juniors, we were unable to have a class picnic our advisor, Mr. Pay- son, promised that we could go to the White Mountains in the fall of our senior year. Sure enough, come fall we, now the almighty seniors, were right on to Mr. Payson's neck for that trip to them thar hills of Ken-New Hampshire. After much bickering as to whether we would take our lunch or not, and a mad, frantic, way-into-the-night-before search for cars to transport us, that glorious Sat- urday morning came. Instead of the usual cheery good morning that one usually receives from his fellow man at 5:30 in the Z8 THE MEGUNTICOOK morning, we greeted each other with, Do you think it will rain ? because it certain- ly looked that way. However, we all were in high spirits, for hadn't we a whole day ahead of us to travel through the White Mountains in a rain storm. I doubt if we could have chosen a day more perfect than that one in October to travel to the White Mountains. The leaves were all shades of brown, yellow, and red, one of the most impressive sights we had ever seen. But to get back to our story. Now let me see where-Oh yes! Well, right after that shower the sun shone forth and re- mained with us the rest of the day. There were iive cars in our group, an- other having left the day before. We man- aged to stay together going up and while touring through the mountains, but after leaving Conway that night, we hardly saw each other again. We arrived at Crawford Notch at ap- proximately twelve noon for our first stop where we ate our lunch beside a small pond. From there we continued on to Fran- conia Notch where we all had a ride in the aerial tramway. This consists of a great span of two main parallel cables on which ride two box-like cars which will carry about 30 persons each. There is a station at each end and two supporting towers in between. After exploring the numerous paths on top of Cannon Mountain, we descended to continue on to see the Basin and the Old Man of the Mountains. Along this stretch of roadway we encountered several thank-you-marms which gave each and every one of us a thrill. We had very little car trouble except for one car which, I believe, had a broken fan belt and arrived home in the wee hours of the morning C4 A.M.J But most of us rolled in somewhere around 12 P.M. to end a perfect day and our trip to the White Mountains. - C H S - Amos, to a tall, thin friend: f'To look at you a person would think there was a famine in this town.

THE MEGUNTICOOK Z9 THE SENIOR PLAY In November the cast was chosen for the Senior Play, and right afterwards, re- hearsals begun. For some of us it was the first attempt, while others were veterans of one or two other plays. We all worked hard with rehearsals practically every night, and after a hectic dress rehearsal presented the fruit of our labors on Thurs- day, the 18th of December, at the Camden Opera House. The play, You're Telling Me, is based on the foolish society ambitions of the Carstairs family and the other members of the cast. The trouble begins when Mrs. Carstairs mistakes the butler, Loyd Ham- ilton, for Lord Hamilton. Loyd, who is in reality a multi-millionaire, took the job of butler to be near Pamela Snowden, house guest of Kit Carstairs, Mrs. Car- stairs' daughter. Kit has invited a newly- rich family, the Regans, down for the weekend in the hope of relieving them of some of their money. Kit's plan for palm- ing off Pam as a member of the nobility is hindered by the discovery that Pam and the Regans are cousins. She is finally suc- cessful in convincing Mrs. Regan that Pam is really Lady Hamilton whose hus- band, Lord Hamilton, has departed on a diplomatic mission. Imagine their feelings when a man turns up claiming to be Lord Hamilton. He is really Ward Wanger, a friend of Loyd's, and has taken the house next door for the season. From then on, things happen thick and fast. A romance develops between Mrs. Regan and Kit's Uncle George, Mrs. Regan's youngest daughter, Marleen, is talked into pulling a suicide scare by her theatre-mad sister, Theeda, Ward proposes to Mrs. Carstairs and they apparently leave together. Kit realizes that everything was in vain if she loses VVard, of whom she has become quite fond. The play reaches the climax when the real Lord Hamilton arrives and is im- mediately taken over by Theeda, who ex- plains that he looks just like her movie hero. Ward and Mrs. Carstairs return and Kit finds out that Ward proposed to her mother for her. Loyd expresses his love for Pam, and George and Mrs. Regan start planning their marriage. The play ends with the various members of the cast dancing to a waltz, while all ideas of money are forgotten-for the time being. The cast included the following Seniors: J oye True, Sylvia Gundersen, Barbara Burrage, Edward Stanley, Alan Hatch, Fred Duncan, Marion Hary, Beverly Hoo- per, Joan Connelly, and Arthur Lunt. Marion stole the show with her Marjorie Main characterization of Mrs. Regan. Her startling mannerisms and speech caused the audience to burst out laughing time she appeared on the stage. In charge of properties and the were Ralph Ayers, Amos Collemer, lah Ingraham, Kay Poland, and every stage Beu- Joan Eupea. The publicity end was handled by John- son Talbot, Harold Brown, Kay Poland, Sylvia Gundersen, Joan Connelly, Julie Thomas, Alan Hatch, Edward Stanley, Joye True, and Marion Hary. Gloria Manning had the important job of prompter. Several times during the play, the cast was mighty glad for her presence in the prompter's box. We owe the success of the play to the assistance and coaching of Miss Ethel Oli- ver. Without her patience and work, the play's outcome might have been quite dif- ferent. - C H S - THE SCHOOL PLAY On April 15, the annual School Play will take place. The play, The Donovan Affair, by Owen Davis, is a mystery. The cast consists of three seniors, three jun- iors, five sophomores, and four freshmen. Rehearsals have already started and an- other success is planned to be chalked up for C.H.S.

THE INTRAMURAL COUNCIL To arouse the school spirit and interest in interclass activities for the school year of '47 and '48 to a higher degree, a new program has been developed. The resulting action was the organization of an Intra- mural Council. This council was created to take an active part in leading and assisting in the conduction of competitive sports and other programs within the school. One of its chief objects is to gain more co- operation and enthusiasm from the stu- dents in their intramural activities. This organization will cause these activities to be more effective and efficient. The Council itself consists of eight stu- dent members and an advisor. Each class has a representation of two members. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Walker as our advisor. At present the Intramural Council has completed the following activities: A. Coaches and officials were chosen and a schedule was made for boys' inter- class Flag Football.- B. Selecting captains and teams, it scheduled Boys' Intramural Basketball. C. It made all plans for and conducted a Winter Sports Carnival and Dance at the Snow Bowl. 1. Prior to this a queen contest was conducted at the high school. D. It assisted at a County Interscholas- tic Winter Sports Carnival. E. The Council scheduled and assisted Boys' Interclass Basketball. F. Girls' Interclass Basketball was scheduled and assisted. G. A Benefit Basketball Game between the boys and girls class champs was ar- ranged. H., It arranged for a Benefit Basketball Game between the Faculty men and the Jayvees and between the Varsity and the Alumni. ' I. A vacation dance at the Y was planned. - C H S - WINTER CARNIVAL On Saturday, January 31, the Knox County Interscholastic Carnival was held at the Snow Bowl.

It was a big victory for the Cam- den girls for not only did they gain re- venge over their rivals, but also they pre- vented Rockland from having a chance of tying with Lincoln for the championship. Clancy had a big day with 4 strikeouts. She and Sylvester handled 4 flies apiece without error. C. Thomas at 2nd and Thurston at 1st base, also accounted for a good deal of the outs. Foster and Mann- ing led the Camden hitters, Foster with 3 for 5 attempts and Manning with 2 for 4. Camden-10 runs, 14 hits. Rockland-9 runs, 8 hits.

The idea was inspired by annual visits to Camp Merestead to watch the game played by field hockey players and college girls from all over the country. The girls showed an active interest in the sport and under Miss Oliveris guidance, plans were made for instruction in the game. About 46 girls turned out for the first meeting and although they were startled by such new terms as right wing, goaler, left inner, etc., they came to the first practice with a great deal of enthus- iasm. The first practice was really something to watch. It consisted mostly of hitting the ball, fit always rolled much further than expectedll running after it, and hitting it back to the original position. With 46 girls on the field and an equal number of hockey sticks and balls, it's no wonder that the sticks sometimes slipped and hit the players, rather than the balls! However, despite the bruised shins and lame muscles, the practices progressed and several games were played. Everyone had a lot of fun and there is much hope that in the future there will be not only interclass games, but also games with other schools in this part of the state. We were very fortunate in having ex- pert instruction by the Camp Merestead directors. Mrs. Boehm, Miss Fogg and Miss Townsend are all experts in the game of field hockey. Miss Townsend has writ- ten a book about the sport and she has been the captain of the All American hockey team since 1923, with the excep- tion of one year, 1933. The three directors, besides instructing us about the game at practices and meetings, also very gener- ously lent us field hockey equipment from Camp Merestead until our own supplies came. The girls who participated in this sport are extremely grateful to Miss Oliver for getting the game started in this school. Without her interest and efforts it never would have been possible. - C H S - BASKETBALL 1947-1948 The Camden Girls' Basketball Team un- der the leadership of Coach McCobb com- pleted a successful season with a total of 10 wins and 7 losses. In the Knox-Lincoln County League, the team did well by win- ning four games and losing four. As a re- sult, Camden and Waldoboro tied for sec- ond place in the league. In the outside games the team won six games out of nine. Although five first-team players will graduate this year, there is plenty of good material coming up. The junior, sopho- more and freshman classes are all repre- sented on the first team and with more game experience, next year's team should fare very well in the league. A The squad this year was composed of the following: Seniors-Marion Hary, Mgr., Gloria Manning, Capt., Kay Poland, Julie Thomas 'and Joye True, Juniors- Joan Clayter, Frances Light, and Helen Stevenson, Sophomores-Dorothy Bryant, Lois Cookson, Peggy Connelly, Barbara Harding, Patricia Kelley, Joan Salisbury, Joyce Sylvester, Lucille Talbot, Carole Thomas, and Betty Thurston, Freshmen -Ann Boardman, Jeanette Dyment, Ar- lene Edgecomb, Grace Galanti, Mary Kel- leher, Blanche Leonard, Faith Ludwig, Eleanor Lunt, Evelyn Lunt, Christine Plaisted, Jane Robbins and Martha Wood.

The Camden girls were out front by a few points throughout the entire game, leading 22-19 at the half. 40 THE MEGUNTICOOK GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM First row: Kay Poland, Frances Light, Joye True, Gloria Manning, Marion Hary, Julie Thomas, Carole Thomas. Second row: Joyce Sylvester, Lucille Talbot, Helen Stevenson, Coach Helen McCobb, Joanne Clayter, Betty Thurston, Grace Galanti, Peggy Connelly. In the third and fourth quarters Camden racked up a total of 21 points, leaving Thomaston at the lower end of a 43-32 score at the final whistle. Cverlock and Johnson of Thomaston, and True of Cam- den, held scoring honors with 15, 14, and 14 points respectively. Camden Edged Out al Waldoboro 40-44 The Camden team got off to a slow start in their second league game with a first quarter score of 15-6 in Waldoboro's fa- vor. In the second and third quarters the CHS girls netted 28 points to Waldoboro's 24 points and threatened Waldoboro's lead several times. The fourth quarter was an exciting eight minutes of play and the lead exchanged hands several times, but in the last two minutes the WHS girls chalked up two more baskets to win the game. The Camden forwards showed their shooting ability by making a total of 12 out of 17 foul shots. C. Thomas and J. Thomas swished 17 points apiece to lead Camden's scoring. Camden Beaten at Newcastle 39-20 The Camden girls were soundly defeat- ed by the undefeated Lincoln Academy team in their third league game of the season. The Lincoln guards used a good zone defense which confused the Camden forwards and left the CHS girls trailing at the half by a score of 26-11. At the end of the third quarter Lincoln was leading by a total of 25 points, 36-11, but in the nnal quarter the Camden team managed to cut the lead down to a final 39-20 score. Sherman and House of Lincoln held scor- ing honors with 15 and 14 points respec- tively. J. Thomas was high for Camden with 11 points. Camden Outscores Boothbay 38-26 The Camden girls journeyed to Booth- bay Harbor to win one of the best games of the season. The two teams were evenly matched and the score was close through- out the whole game. Camden held a slight lead at the half, 19-16, and managed to stay on top by one point, 30-29, at the end THE MEGUNTICOOK 41 of the third quarter, but during the fourth period Camden's lead was threatened several times. The spectators couldn't sit still and the gym was in an uproar until the final whistle. The Camden guards- Light, Manning and Sylvester-all played wonderful basketball and were intercept- ing and blocking the Boothbay girls' shots every minute. Camden Drops One to Thomaston 18-23 The CHS team lost another league game at the hands of an improved Thomaston sextette. It was a low-scoring game with the Black and White ahead all the way. Thomaston led at the half by a score of 12-5 and although Camden put on a des- perate rally in the third quarter, Thomas- ton stayed on top with a final score of 23- 18. One of the deciding features of the game was the fact that, although Camden outscored Thomaston in field goals, the Thomaston girls scored 9 out of 11 foul shots while the Camden girls only made 2 of their 9 foul shots. Overlock of Tho- maston and J. Thomas of Camden, were high scorers with 10 points each. Camden Wins over Waldoboro 32-31 Both teams fought hard for this game, but the fighting Red and White ended up the victors by defeating the Waldoboro girls by just one point. There was a tie score, 7-7, at the end of the first quarter and at the half-time whistle Waldoboro was ahead, 21-19. Camden's guards- Hary, Manning and Sylvester- went to town in the third quarter and held the visitors down to 4 points while the Cam- den forwards scored 5 field goals to lead at the third quarter by a score of 29-25. The Camden girls kept up the good work in the last quarter and were justly re- warded by a one-point victory. C. Thomas netted 21 points for the home team. Camden Loses to Lincoln 37-39 In one of the most exciting games of the season, the Camden girls came within 2 points of tying with the undefeated Lin- coln Academy team. Although Lincoln led at the first period by 11-8, the Camden girls redoubled their efforts in the second quarter and the half-time score read 21-20, Camden's favor. However, in the second half the Lincoln girls moved out front 1 l l CHEERLEADERS Joan Connelly, Sylvia Gundersen, Barbara Gundersen, Cynthia Howes, Nancy Brewster, Maralyn Brown, Mary Connelly. 42 THE MEGUNTICOOK and although the score was tied several times, the final whistle blew with the un- defeated Lincoln Academy team victorious again. Galanti and True, with good pass- ing, fed the ball to C. Thomas, who was getting baskets from all over the floor. She copped all scoring honors with a to- tal of 32 points. -CHS- Camden Defeats Boothbay 31-25 The CHS girls' team, after trailing by a few points in the first half, put on the pressure in the second half and won their last league game of the season with a final score of 31-25. The Boothbay girls scored the first basket and continued to lead the scoring in the first quarter, stay- ing out front by three points, 8-5. The tables turned in the second half, however, and with Sylvester's intercepting and good shooting by Galanti, True and C. Thomas, Camden couldn't help but win. Pinkham of Boothbay led the scoring with 12 points. Camden's 31 points were fairly evenly divided. C. Thomas with 10 points and True with 9 points were high for the home team.

A large group reported and 11 teams of five members each, were formed, con- sisting of 2 senior teams, 2 junior teams, 3 sophomore teams and 4 freshman teams. The teams bowled on Monday and Wed- nesday afternoons, at the YMCA. For the first few weeks there was no competition between the 11 teams, but the totals of each team were posted on the bulletin board and a record was kept of the high single and double of each after- noon's bowling. The competition resulted when the teams bowled to determine the winner of the 11 teams. The team captained by Betty Thurston proved to be superior to the others, as they won the match. This team consisted of Betty, Ruth Littlefield, Lucille Talbot, Joan Salisbury, and Betty Burridge. The interclass teams were made up of the 6 members of each class with the high- est average. The sophomores retained their crown with Betty Thurston, Pat Kelley, Shirley Fuller, Carole Thomas, Nona Talbot, and Arlene Quinn bowling the highest totals to win the interclass bowling championship. The junior team, with Olive Sawyer as captain, took second place in the match. the seniors took third place, and the fresh- men came in fourth. The high single of 94, went to Carole Thomas and Pat Kelley. The high double was Grace Galanti's 177. - C H S - THURSDAYS AT THREE The last bell rings and silence reigns As Miss Oliver menacingly walks toward the b d. oar On all faces there is a look of pain, When she begins to write the names that are stored On the slip of paper she has in her hand.
