This bloody art has been going on through the ages and is still being carried on today. Due to primitive methods comparatively few have been killed but now with the atomic bomb and bacteriological warfare millions of lives can be taken in a very short period of time. This whole- sale massacre must be prevented or man will destroy himself. The only way this can be done is through uni- versal understanding among all men in all countries or-in shortened title- World Government. World Government is that govern- ment whereby all countries and all men can be equal, a government in which all countries would be to each other as the states are to each other in the United States. In this system countries with vast mineral reserves, scientific and medical knowledge and educational facilities would share with the poorer nationsg thereby eli- minating one of the main causes of war. Every country has something to share with the other countries how- ever large or small they may be. By this sharing and resharing the small countries would no longer live in con- stant fear of their greater neighbors. This all leads to one thing: the com- mon interest of all men in each other's welfare.

We must not underestimate the worth of the United Nations because it has not at all trials been spectacu- lar or because through the constant veto and negative action of Com- munist Russia it has not as yet achieved all that may have been ex- pected of it. If we consider but one thing, the fact that men of many na- tions and many parts of the world diverse in their thinking, customs, intellect, social surroundings, racial differences, and of various religious convictions have been able to get to- gether and discuss freely their views over the conference table, then we realize the possibility of men living together democratically in one world for a common purpose and a common good. The Atlantic Pact, though conceiv- ed for security measures by the At- lantic community against the expan- sionist motives of Russia's world communism may well be the strength and life blood that will bolster the United Nations to higher objectives and greater accomplishments. Rome was not built in a day, nor should we expect world government to be achieved over night. We must hope for its final arrival and attain- ment through evolutionary processes -United Nations - Atlantic Pact- perhaps a future United States of Europe and even a democratic World Government, bringing peace and good will to all men. Stanley Payson, '49 WE ARE AMERICA We, the youth of America, must begin to realize that soon it will be our job to take in our stride the reins of guiding America. Our fathers and forefathers have given us a land to be proud of and we must show our ap- preciation by making them proud of 4 HMEGUNTICOOKU us. By their hard work and ambitions they have given us the highest stan- dards of living of any country in the world, free education, and the know- ledge that all men are created equal. We have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press so that all the people of our great country may know what goes on. Never forget, Youth of America, how many people have given their lives that our country might live and prosper. For you, too, they gave their lives so that in later years you would not have to leave your loved ones be- cause some fanatic decided he wanted the world for his own. It is up to us then, the Youth of America, not to let them down. Al- ways remember that you are an Am- erican. As Nathan Hale once said, I regret that I have but one life to give for my country. Cedric Joyce, '49 COMRADESHIP To be a friend tried and true is to display a virtue which adorns our humanity. History is glorified by the friendships of David and Jonathan, of Damon and Pythias, but history has not volumes large enough to re- cord the names of the unknown mil- lions of comrades who were true and faithful unto death. Their heroic loyalty sets an example worthy of our emulation and glorifles our human nature. No man, young or old, can en- joy a higher honor than to be valued as a friend and trusted as a comrade. James Crockett '51 CAMDEN, MAINE 5 X f ff .Y cqgvg g ' M 4 as 4' f ff,-' If-5 .f 1 45 ' U ,lf-cf' A Q' -163 7 Once upon a time, many years ago, a group of nondescript children en- tered CHS. And now we're getting ready to leave. In our fourth year we can look back and remember many things we've done and many more done to us. Our first year, every memory is overshadowed by Freshman Recep- tion. But without this necessary evil we would never have been members of CHS. The rest of our freshman year was taken up studying and keep- ing out of the way of the seniors. The next year we got into the rou- tine and began to wonder if we'd ever get out of high school. This year our class, both boys and girls, began to show its worth in athletics. Lawrence Sparta was a spoke on the basketball team, while Harry Drinkwater was the hub of the baseball team. Finally we were at the back of the Main Room. Yes, we were juniors. Just one more year and then-Oh boy! We really began to make our mark this year. Due largely to the work of our noble class president, Mr. Joyce, we put on a very successful Junior Prom. Successful only, how- ever, as far as the number of people went. We made approximately 9520! Dramatics played a part this year, taking Louis Arau, Claire Crabtree, Lawrence Sparta, Cedric Joyce, Paul Putnam, Jackie Wilson, Helen Ste- venson, Cynthia Howes, Mary Ken- nedy, Kay Duffy and Henry Bickford. 5lDuDL?' Our guys and gals were improving in sports with Frances Light, Helen Stevenson and Joanne Clayter mak- ing their marks. In baseball we split even with a five won-five lost record. Basketball didn't fare so well, how- ever the boys were improving. Inter- class sports came up and we took football after a play-off with a loaded sophomore team. Also, we trounced them in basketball for a champion- ship. But this year, even the magic of being seniors disappeared under the strain and stress of making S1800 to go to Washington with. However, have no fears. We welcomed the freshmen to CHS to an extent they'l1 never forget. Probably the high spot of the show was Ronnie Banks pro- posing to Doris Conley. So far we have been very active in sports, field- ing a basketball team that lost the League championship only after a play-off with Lincoln Academy. Being faced with the necessity of making enough money to take a class of 48 to Washington, D. C., isn't plea- sant, but we managed. The biggest contribution came through the work of the class, that is, the Minstrel. What a show! We dug up hidden tal- ent and polished up some we knew of. Who would have suspected Gig Hanson could sing? Sing to such an extent, in fact, that he captured the second show. Who would have thought Francis Frye would have nerve 6 HMEGUNTICOOKU enough to face an audience of 500 4. Stanley Payson 90.8 plus in the role of interlocutor and do 5. Cedric Joyce 90.4 a swell job? Everyone knew that 6. Henry Bickford 90.3 Mary Kennedy, Dick Gould, and Ced. 7. Jack Henderson 90.1 Joyce could sing and they really out- 8. Frances Light 89.5 did themselves. Naturally, everyone 9. Betty Rolfe 89.2 knew about Buck. Need more be said? 10. Kathleen Duffy 89.1 Paul and Ced did a swell job with the Senior Class Average 83.93 'fDixiecats and some people said Dwight was the funniest thing in the show. It was a good show put on by a great group of guys and gals. Now, as Lewis Carroll's Walrus would say, f'The time has come . . . We are about to graduate. There are two words of caution we would like to leave. The first is something al- ways said by a departing senior class and always shrugged off by the un- derclassmen. That is, to study. Get right in there and dig. And keep at it all the time. Hit those books, or you'll be in the same boat some of us are. That is, graduating and feeling you do not know as much as you should. You can never study enough. The second is just this: Be sure to earn a lot of money this summer and don't spend it all. Because, believe it or not, it costs a big wad of the lovely green to graduate. Be seeing you at some Alumni ban- quets later on! CLASS PARTS By having the highest and second highest averages the two honor parts, valedictorian and salutatorian, fell to two of the more popular members of our class, Mary Anne Hale and Louis Arau, respectively. Other parts, which were allotted by class vote were as follows: Oration, Stanley L. Payson, Will, Henry Bick- ford, Prophecy, Sally Brown and Carl Bucky Gifts, Helen Stevenson and Paul Putnam, Essay, Claire Crabtreeg History, Lawrence Sparta. SENIOR AVERAGES 1. Mary Anne Hale 94.5 2. Louis Arau 93.2 3. Claire Crabtree 92.1 . THE CLASS OF '49 As I sit here fondly gazing In this crystal ball of mine, I look into the future Of my class of '49. I see Frances L. and Myrtle On board an ocean liner With their hubbies on a honeymoon To the land of far-off China. Donaldls now a pilot, He's flown to Mars, they sayg While Derb is touring Europe, Charming girls along the way. Ruth's moved to Montana And a cowboy she has wedg While Sally, her license granted, Drives down to see her Red. A capable nurse is Cynthia, She cures each ache and pain, Carolie's a physical instructor At University of Main-e. Gene and her Alton have married And are happy as they can be. While Frances is cooking dinner, Gil's rocking their babe on his knee. I see our Mary singing In a show on old Broadway, While Dr. Jack 'extracts your teeth The painless way, they say. The one ambition of Lucille And also of Lois E. -I-Iale Is to follow in the footsteps Of one Florence Nightingale. Andrea has married Donald And on two sons they beam. Polly now lives in Alaska, The fulfillment of her dream. Carl Buck, our Minstrel Mr. Bones, Performs with great emotiong While Warren is a circus clown Who wins the kids' devotion. Priscilla is a Waitress And lends a helping 'hand To Dot in their new venture, A steaming hot-dog stand. g i fig, J CAMDEN, MAINE 7 Though Lawrence is a movi-e star, He never fails to share A seat in his DeSoto With his ever-loving Claire. Harold, with his fast curve ball, Peps up the Army team. Carl Heal has built a push cart '1'hat's really on the beam. Now Paul and Dwight have formed a band, They travel far and wide With Helen in her pink sedan And Christine by their side. I seem to see our crooner, Dick, His voice has brought him fame, While Howard's guiding hunters In the woods of northern Maine. The Westbrook Pegler of our age Is dashing, handsome Stan, While the bills of Senator Louis Are known throughout the land. Willie's made his million In a super Finast Store. Bud's the owner of a garage, Fixing autos by the score. I see Olive out in Switzerland Teaching people how to ski, While Kay is a secretary Sitting on her boss's knee. To own a black convertible Is Jackie's one desire. Betty's missionary work abroad Is one we all admire. Dick Ayers, a noted motor cop, Is feared by every crook. Everett made a fortune With his latest comic book. Bob's an 'expert in trading trucks, His business is just humming, Mechanic Ralph is on the job To keep their motors running. Pete is a sailor on the sea With a girl in every port, While Seed's been made 'Chief Justice Of the U. S. Supreme Court . Joanne is touring England In an old red Model T, While Bebe and her Norman Are lobstering out at sea. Henry, a general at West Point, Snaps out his orders with ease, And Francis is teaching botany, A professor at Bates, if you please. My crystal ball is clearing My visions all are gone And my thoughts come back to the present, VVith my class where I belong, Now a school marm's seldom good at verse, But I've done the best I cang If you're not satisfied, just phone Your classmate, Mary Anne. For a Sweetheart of the Senior Class of '49 take :- Frances Light's curly brown hair, Gene Bickford's pink and white com- plexion, Olive Sawyer's skill at softball, Cynthia Howes' sunny disposition, Ruth Conley's ability to flirt, Jackie Wilson's cute way of talking baby talk, Pauline Robbins' pearly white teeth, Myrtle Pooley's ability to wear clothes, Betty Rolfe's skill at knitting, Lucille Dyer's ability to take a joke, Carolie Larner's ability to play a joke, Kay DuHy's usefulness, Mary Kennedy's ability to sing, Bebe Brown's good figure, Lois Hale's ability to talk, Helen Stevenson's good posture, Claire Crabtree's ability to take over class aiairs, Dot Grover's curly eyelashes, Frances Hastings' ability as a sales-- girl, Priscilla Knowlton's ability to dance, Sally Brown's ability to get along with boys, Mary Anne Hale's ability to learn, Joanne Clayter's skill on the basket- ball floor 3 Roll them all into one and what a gal you would have! Andrea Jones '49 T0 THE SENIORS FROM A SENIOR The time is coming near, too near for a great many of us, but we must face the fact that this is our last year in high school together. Life is going to be different now. I think we should make this, our last year, the happiest of all. We've had our differences like any other class. Take us all and all it has been great fun. I know that even a year from now lots of us will look back and say, Remember ? I say good-bye to you, dear friends and classmates, hoping that after graduation our paths shall meet of- ten. May everyone of you be success- ful and happy in the future. Helen Stevenson '49 8 HMEGUNTICOOKH 1. Leo and Louis Araug 2, Sprucie g 3. Winifred Coathupg 4. Pat Kelleyg 5. Dick Ayersg 6.

A fllllllll 1 . . 7307 THE HAYSEEDERS' BALL After two weeks of school the freshmen were settling down to the regular routine of high school life when the big bombshell exploded! They were to be initiated Cof course EJ with all the dignity those wonderful seniors could possibly muster up for the occasion. What fun! The list of obligations was posted, and many oh's and groans were heard. We seniors were really giving the freshmen something to worry about. If they could survive this and the reception on Friday night, they could survive anything! The thing that hurt their pride most was the fact that they had to bow to the sen- iors. Oh! If they could only get re- venge on us. Finally the two days, Thursday and Friday, passed, and Friday night the freshmen found themselves sitting on the floor of the Opera House with those horrid upperclassmen looking on. One by one they were called to the stage and given their tasks, which most performed with good sports- manship. They found it wasn't so very bad after all. In fact it was fun. After the humorous performances, refreshments Were served, after which dancing was enjoyed. Freshman Reception was over for another year. Friday, October 22, the Hayse'ed- ers' Ball, presented by the Junior class, was held in the Opera House from 8 130 to 12 o'clock. It was a very gala affair with everyone dressed in his best dungarees. The Grand March, led by Miss Keating and Mr. Payson, started the ball rolling. Danc- ing, old and new, followed, with Mr. Earl Marriner calling the square dances while Dick Gould and his or- chestra furnished the music. One of the most notable happenings of the evening was Mr. Payson's en- trance. Promptly at 8 115 a character dressed in overalls with a snappy pair of suspenders, old shirt, and straw hat entered the hall. His nose was very red, he was covered with red spots resembling measles, and a few teeth were missing. Of course it was Mr. Payson, but it seems that he thought that he was 15 minutes late, although, on the contrary, he was 15 minutes early. However, there were still roars of laughter when he was sighted. At approximately 10 o'clock, re- freshments of sandwiches, brownies, cookies and soda were served. Then dancing was resumed and balloons were dropped from a huge pumpkin, which was suspended from the bal- conies. At 12 oiclock the orchestra played Good Night, Sweetheart and CAMDEN, MAINE 15 everyone departed saying that he had had a good time. The committees for this event were as follows: Managing, Nona Talbot, Carole Thomas, Pat Kelley, John Wil- son, Kenneth Mitchell, Lindon Chris- tie, decorating, Ruth Littlefield, Bet- ty Thurston, Mary Connelly, Gail Fryeg refreshments, Joyce Sylvester, Peggy Connelly, Barbara Harding, Lucille Talbot, Nancy Coathupg ad- vertising, Joan Salisbury, Elaine Spruce, Nancy Brewster, dance, Dirk Brown, Muriel Heal. MAGAZINE DRIVE The gross total of the Curtis Maga- zine Drive this year was the highest in the history of the drive in CHS. The totals are as follows: Seniors SS 525.00 Juniors 251.00 Sophomores 115.00 Freshmen 183.10 31074.10 School commission S 403.83 As usual the school was divided into two groups, Seniors and Fresh- men, Juniors and Sophomores. Due mainly to the work of the Seniors, the first mentioned team came out ahead. The Seniors this year, instead of receiving prizes, turned their credits into money and received approxi- mately 3335. High salesman was Lindon Chris- tie, Jr., '50, with 5112. It is possible that the school's com- mission may be used to buy a tape-re- corder. The General Manager for this drive was Henry Bickford, very ca- pably assisted by Frances Light. SENIOR PLAY The Senior thespians presented a play this year that tested their talents to the utmost. Complete with ghosts, monsters, black arms and voodooism, many people said that it was one of the finest yet presented. The title, ap- propriately enough, was Drums of Death. The following appeared in the cast: Sheldon Harley Lawrence Sparta Cedric Joyce Paul Putnam Newt Cooper Jules Celeste Jackie Wilson Mrs. Oakley Helen Stevenson Eugenia Cynthia Howes Mrs. Gillette Claire Crabtree Amelia Mary Kennedy Kay Duffy Louis Arau Mary Anne Hale The play was under the direction of Miss Ethel Oliver. Paula Bailey Dr. Cameron Prompter CHRISTMAS BALL It was two weeks before Christmas and all through the high school one thought, one fear was rattling in ev- ery Senior's head. We're almost broke. We need money for our Wash- ington Trip Fund. So a class meet- ing was called. Ideas were asked for and one joker screamed out, Let's have a Christmas Ball! Everyone agreed ffor oncel even though there was a slight argument on the date. We finally decided on December 23, at 8:30. The first problem was the selection of an orchestra. What to do? - Wha- appen? We had Dud Harvey. The usual thing happened, by 8:30 it was raining Maltese and Great Danes, but like the old saying, the show must go on, we carried on and to everyone's surprise a large crowd showed up. Thanks to a good orchestra and a swell bunch of classmates everyone had a good time and we made 3584 for our Washington Trip Fund. MINSTREL SHOW On February 17, a Minstrel Show was given by the Seniors for the be- nefit of their Washington Trip. The cast was largely seniors, aug- mented in the chorus by a few juniors and five guest stars. 16' NMEGUNTICOOKH The first show, with Carl Buck, Warren Hanson, Paul Putnam, Law- rence Sparta, Lou Arau and Ced Joyce holding down the ends and Francis Frye as interlocutor, was a tremendous success. The net amount gained was approximately 3400. With money still needed another show was decided on. Through Mr. Charles Dwinal, it was learned that a sum of money could be given us from the Bisbee Fund if we would give a free show for pre-high school age children. Therefore, our second production was presented twice, in the form of an af- ternoon matinee and an evening per- formance. These two shows added S300 to our fund. The guest stars were the same at both shows, namely, Yorkie, Bob Laite, Bill Munroe, Tige Richardson and Milford Payson, all of whom add- ed greatly to our shows. Co-chairmen of the Minstrel were Claire Crabtree and Henry Bickford. THE SCHOOL PLAY On April 8 the annual school play was presented in the Opera House under the direction of Miss Ethel Oliver. The play was a comedy by the name of Uncle Fred Flits By. The cast worked hard to make the play a success and their efforts were truly rewarded. When some of the characters in rather outlandish costumes and make- up came on stage the sight was ludi- crous. The play revolved about Uncle Fred, who was determined that his nephew, Pongo, would not become a lawyer. By means of stretching the truth about to the breaking point, he managed to get Pongo so deeply in- volved that he couldn't become a law- yer, but decided he'd go to the Twist- leton Coffee estates in Brazil. Also Pongo's fiancee, Mary, breaks their engagement, however, Pongo becomes engaged to Julia Parker, the girl he really would like to marry. The cast included the following: Pongo Twistleton, who is studying to be a lawyer, Milton Christie '51, The Crumpet, who tries to help him, Lawrence Sparta '49, A maid at Mitching Hill, Doris Mae Hopkins '51, Julia Parker, a girl in distress, Nancy Brewster '50, Wilbur Robin- son, the cause of her distress, Gail Frye '50, Mr. Parker, Julia's father, Lindon Christie, Jr. '50, Mrs. Parker, her mother, Claire Crabtree '49, Judge Basher, Julia's grandfather, Charles Dudley '50, Lady Duff-Wil- son, who comes to investigate, Ruth Littlefield '50, Mary, her charming daughter, Lucille Talbot '50, Miss Dougal, librarian, Margaret Connel- ly '50, Miss Spencer, librarian, Nona Talbot '50, a policeman on a hurried call, Jenness Keller '50. SENIOR CLASS WASHINGTON TRIP April 16, that long-awaited morn- ing! It didn't seem possible that it had come, but it had, and there we were, all gathered in front of the post office. Seven o'c1ock was the starting time, and so at seven the Seniors were drawing out of Cam- den on their way to Washington. That night we stayed in Bridge- port, Connecticut. It was a free ev- ening and most of us went to the show. The next morning we started for Washington. We went through New York and Fifth Avenue to see the Easter display. Some show! It would be rather hard to relate day by day the happenings, so I'll try to list the things that stand out most in our excurisons. We went through the Holland Tun- nell and as anyone can tell you, this was very impressive. We saw Washington at night and that is a sight that no one will for- get. The Congressional Library, Lin- coln Memorial, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, National Museum, Smithsonian Institute, National Gal- CAMDEN, MAINE Q V 17 lery of Art, Washington Monument were visited by all. We visited Mount Vernon, Arling- ton National Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and Jefferson Me- morial in Virginia. Then we continued our tour of Washington: The Zoo, National Cath- edral, Capitol Building, Supreme Court, House and Senate, and the Folger Library. Last, but not least, we had a very enjoyable visit with Senator 'Margaret Chase Smith. Wednesday our destination was Hotel Chesterfield, New York. Our tour in New York included the Statue of Liberty, R.C.A. Building, Radio City Music Hall, N.B.C. Studios, Times Square, a two-hour tour of New York including China Town, the Broadway Theatre show, High But- ton Shoes, and then Times Square at midnight. Friday morning we started out bright and early for Camden, Maine. On our way we toured Gettysburg which was very interesting. We ar- rived in Camden around eight o'clock, tired but happy. It was a trip that will be remembered by all in years to come, a trip the class of '49 will never forget. F. H. A.

The F.H.A. is a national organization for girls studying homemaking in junior and senior high schools. There are 49 members in our F.H.A. The purposes are to promote a growing appreciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking, to em- phasize the importance of worthy home membership, to encourage de- mocracy in the home and family life, to promote international good will, to provide wholesome individual and group recreation, and to further the interest in home economics. The following officers were chosen to serve for the school year: Presi- dent, Grace Galanti, Vice-President, Glenn Payson, Secretary, Arlene Edgecomb, Treasurer, Jessie Barton, Historian, Ruth Conley, Reporter, Beverly Arau, Song Leaders, Mary Jane Thomas and Helen Payson. We have accomplished quite a few things during this year. We have had a Christmas party, sent 25 pounds of Christmas gifts abroad, held an out- ing party at the Snow Bowl, an Ama- teur Show, an F.H.A. Sunday when all the girls attended church, a Valen- tine Party with Home Service Ad- viser for the Central Maine Power Company giving a demonstration, and sent an Easter Egg consisting of clothes, soap and other articles to a needy child in China. A large delega- tion of F.H.A. girls attended the State F.H.A. meeting at Maine Cen- tral Institute in Pittsfield on May 7. To raise money for the trip we had food, sandwich, and candy sales.

THE BAND The band, with thirty-four regular members left after graduation last June, started off the year with a bang. We had a lot of green musicians in the school from which to draw to fill the several empty uniforms. Many of them were given the chance to try out with the band and were later ac- cepted as members. After a lot of practice, we put on a concert at the Camden Theatre and made a good sum for the Band Fund. A short time after that, Christmas had set in, and we presented a Christ- mas Concert at the Opera House to help along the Christmas season. This year, because our basketball squad really hit home, the band fol- lowed them to the Knox-Lincoln Tournament play-oi game at Rock- land. This was the first time in many years that the band had had occasion to appear for such an event and was pleased to have the opportunity to render their support to the basket- ball team. As has been the custom for a long time, we played at both the Senior and School plays. During the year the members of the band voted to make some addi- CAMDEN, MAINE 19 BAND Front Row: Cynthia Howes, Barbara Harding, Dirk Brown, Frank Stearns, Claire Crabtree, Helen Stevenson, Dwight French, Betty Thurston, Elaine Spruce, Kathleen Dority, Lucille Talbot, Barbara Rolerson.

Another concert earned the necessary money for these. We marched in the Army Day Pa'- rade and, also, even though all the seniors were on their Washington Trip, the band played for the Com- mandery on Easter. A second concert was presented in the theatre, with great success, which brought the band fund up greatly to cover expenses of the Festivals. As usual we expect to go to the State and New England Festivals this year, and will try to retain our rating. The state festival is at Water- ville and the New England is at Old Orchard Beach. Two members from our band, Dirk Brown and Cedric Joyce, represented us by playing in the New England Festival Concert in Wellesley, Mas- sachusetts early this spring. The festivals last year were a great success from the standpoint of the auditions and the ratings we received. Unfortunately, inclement weather in- terfered with both parades. By spe- cial invitation from the Festival Chairman in Dexter, the band opened the evening program by playing three selections. The applause from the audience was tremendous, followed 20 HMEGUNTICOOKU by many fine compliments from the Will be as favorable this year for the judges and friends.

Tonight the story which I am going to tell you is about myself. That seems to be a strange subject, you may think, for on pre- vious broadcasts I have told you only true stories of the criminal world. Friends, this story is absolutely true. Probably tonight is my last night to liveg in fact I am very doubtful of having time to complete my story to you. It all began back in '45 just af- ter the war. Some government con- tracts were being investigated in the shipyard where I happened to be a big-shot. Trouble was spotted and although I admitted knowing what had been going on, I had not profited by it. Nevertheless in court I was con- victed and given a prison sentence of ten years. A federal prison, by the way, isn't a place where everyone you meet is a pure white angel. After being there a short time I had made friends with some pretty hard-boiled char- acters. Among them was the leader of a gang which was bringing opium into the country on a large scale. For convenienceis sake we'll call him Parker. Well, Parker gave me a pretty good that I was innocent, of sales talk course, so the government owed me years of my life. He said about ten that after I got out of stir he could fix me up with a fairly soft job an- nouncing the dope shipments to dif- ferent parts of the gang in code over these broadcasts. It was a chance to get back at the government and the odds were with me that I wouldn't get caught if the rest of the gang did. The pay was good too, one hundred dollars for each tip, there were about seven a month. Everything went smooth for about a year or so-the FBI just wasnft fast enough to catch us. Then it hap- penedg one of our trucks was grabbed with about a quarter million dollars' worth of dope in it. About a week later another shipment was caught. Parker was getting fed up with the whole thing and you can't blame the guy after losing over a half million, just like that. He was getting jumpy and accusing the whole gang of tip- ping of the cops. I was just afraid it would happen and it did-he deduced that other than himself and his right hand man, George, I was the only one that knew the shipping schedules ahead of time. I must be put out of the way. I was at my home getting my script ready for this program when George called and informed me that Parker wanted to see me in his office right away. I said, O. Kg I'll be ready in about twenty minutes. After they hung up, I knew what was coming- the end, and it was coming fast. My only hope was to go to the cops and turn state's witness against them. I 22 HMEGUNTICOOKH was scared. Getting a cab and giving directions to a police station, I left my apartment building in great haste. At the police station they turn- ed me out with laughter when I told them this story. It couldn' happen her in our nice little town, they said. Go home and sleep it off. But I couldn't go home, the boys were probably already there. Where could I go? I looked at my watch, it said 5:20. An hour and forty minutes be- fore broadcasting time. I walked ra- pidly down the street, always looking back, forward, and to the sides, al- ways ready to fall on my face to avoid being shot at from a passing car. Where am I? Let's see, about a block and a half from the radio sta- tion. There's a church across the street from there. I could hide in there until seven o'clock. Sure, Joe, get a move on, I said to myself. Go- ing into the church I went down to the front near a side door and knelt down to pray. I never prayed before but in the hour that I was there I guess I made up for that. It was just 6:30 when I heard somebody coming in the front door. I looked backg it was three of the gang, they had found me. I was trapped! But wait, the side door! Making a wild dash for it, I heard a gun roar in the quietness. Something hit me in the arm and knocked me down. I quickly regained my feet, got out the door and down the street with all three of them after me. Knowing this section of town better than they did, I soon lost them. Cautiously making my way back to here, I sneak- ed in, gave my arm a little first aid and got ready to tell you this story. The building was deserted at this hour because everybody was out to supper. When my engineer came in, I slugged him and put him into a closet. No sense in an innocent per- son getting hurt if anything was go- ing to happen. I'm calmer now, think ing clearly and I'm not scared any more. Well, folks, that brings my story up to the minute. I'm in a dim- ly-lit studio with the only other per- son in the building out cold in the closet. I can hear somebody on the stairs. They're coming into the stu- dio. Yes, it's the guys who were chas- ing me. They're coming up the aisle now. They're only about ten feet away. I'm looking down the barrels of three pistols. I can see their fingers getting white while they are applying pressure to the triggers. I guess this is it, folks, this is my last broadcast. Good-by . . . Jim McGrath ,5l A BIG ONE THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY A few years ago, one bright warm afternoon I was digging in my gar- den when I ran across a nice large worm. Thoughts came into my head, Boy, how nice it would be sitting on the bank of my favorite trout stream with my line drifting down the stream, and listening to the birds sing, and feel the cool spring breeze drifting through the woods! I then took the worm, my fishing pole, and a few other items which would make fishing complete, climbed on my bi- cycle and started off for the best trout stream I knew. A little after noon my wish came true, and I found myself sitting on the bank of a sparkling stream. I fished all afternoon and just before time to go home I got a nibble and I pulled him in. He was a whopper- all of two inches. After hunting around for a while I dug up a can large enough to hold my catch. I put him in it and started home. About half way home he seemed to be swell- ing or growing, I didn't know which. Before I reached home, he had grown so large I had to hold him in both hands to keep from dropping him. I immediately called a fish doctor, and he said that this was a salmon with an ingrowing corn and there was no limit to its growth. I then harnessed it up and put it in the river and went to bed happily, not telling anyone about my secret. CAMDEN, MAINE 23 The next morning I went to the river, but when I got there, to my amazement there was no fish. As a matter of fact, there was no river either. I packed my lunch and followed up the mud bottom of what used to be the Megunticook River mile after mile until I finally reached the lake and at the mouth of it was my fish. He had then almost drained the lake dry. He was the size of a city block and I knew something must be done because one fiap of his tail would mean disaster to hundreds of cot- tages around the lake. I ran to the nearest telephone and called an army base and told them to bring their heaviest weapons to kill a fish. They thought it was crazy but they obeyed me. Soon the thunder of cannons filled the air, and fish scales lay for miles around. After two hours of gun fire my fish lay dead. Then, after thinking for a few minutes I called a contractor and had him with a crew of one hundred men build a canning factory beside the bulk. It employed several hundred men, who worked months before the fish was finally used up. I became a multimillionaire, and everyone in the world has been eating Stearns' Fish Cakes ever since. Several years passed before I de- cided to go fishing again. While driv- ing along an old country road in my new Ford I came to a bridge. It didn't look very safe, but I tried to cross it and SPLASH! I woke up, found myself sprawled out in the middle of the stream, soaking wet, and all I had left was a memory of a dream. Frank Stearns '51 HOW TO WORM OUT OF BEING MARKED LATE fand go fishing at the same timej It was a fine day for going to school and I got up bright and early to get ready. I finished my breakfast and went out and spaded up some of my garden so I could plant when I got home. I couldn't help it if a pesky worm crawled into the can I was tak- ing to school for biology class. So I picked up my can and went into the house to get my books. Well, you couldn't guess what hap- pened! It seems my little brother was playing with my fishing rod and had tangled the line all up with my books. If I had taken time to untangle them, I surely would have been late for school, so I decided to bring it all along with me. Well, as you know, on my way to school there is a calm, peaceful little trout stream and while I was passing by, what do you think happened! That darn worm crawled right onto my fish hook and jumped into the stream! Why, you couldn't imagine my as- tonishment! I had just begun to reel in that impetuous worm when I heard him groan and saw that a big speckled trout had taken a bite out of him and was hooked. I fought for hours trying to save the poor worm, but it was no use. By the time I had brought the fish in, the worm was completely eaten. After burial and funeral cere- monies for that poor defenseless worm, I hurried to school and that, Mr. Wood, is why I am late! David Crockett '51 JUNIOR JITTERS Gosh, what a sensation! Back stage just fifteen minutes before the curtain goes up! The orchestra is playing-they have to! We don't want the fast- gathering audience to hear the tattoo of our knees knocking together. Miss Oliver is everywhere at once, smearing eye goo on this person and slapping a mustache on someone else. Someone's slip is hanging and she screams for help. A run in a stocking is all that is necessary to cause female hysterics. A three-minute warning is called and the person next to me looks about ready to faint. I'm not feeling too well myself! 24 HMEGUNTICOOKH A male actor makes a mad dash for the stage and trips over one of the props. The scenery totters precar- iously and everyone holds his breath -except the member of the cast who fell. He lost his! One minute to go! The rehearsals are over. No backing out now. The FATE of the play lies in our trembl- ing hands. Our minds are complete blanks and we are about to go on! A hush falls over the audience. The curtain slowly parts. The first actors appear on stage. Lines are spoken. The play has begun! Nancy Brewster Junior ,50 It is very hot here to-night, ladies and gents. There are an awful lot of people here. More than I have ever seen. This game of skill has been going on for over an hour and a half, it has been very close all the way. The score is 99 to 99. The first to reach 100 will be the new world's champ. This boy who is lighting to be the new world's champ is putting up a good fight. The people of Camden who know him know he never did much hard work. But he has come a long way in this game of skill. There, the champion has shot !--he missed! That miss might cost him the title. The challenger is taking his time Cminutes go byj he shoots! It went straight! And now, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure in telling you that the new World's Pool Champion is Malcolm Watts. John T.- Wilson '50 A HECTIC DAY It was a good morning, and Satur- day too, which meant I might get that extra hour of shut-eye. I turned over in bed and decided to go back to my much-needed slumber, when I heard the telephone ring. Seconds later, I heard my dear mother's voice calling me. She said it was important, so thus deciding there was no rest for the weary, I arose. After stumbling my way blindly down the stairs, I picked up the phone and said, Well? It was Joyce, one of my supposedly good friends, Whose voice I was greeted by. I hope I didn't disturb you, she says. Oh, no, of course not, I reply through gritted teeth. Well, anyway, I thought we might go skiing, and we ought to get an early start, don't you think? Say half an hour. I've been up for two hours and got my skiis waxed and every- thing, so if youill go, I'll be right over. HO. K., we'll see you, I replied, slamming down the receiver, and making my way a bit faster back to my room. I then got dressed for skiing, and after a glance at the bed and a sigh of Oh you dreamer, I went down for my petit dejeuner. The next half hour is rather blank to me, but anyway at 8 o'clock Joyce and I were on our way to the Snow Bowl-walking, that is, with our skis thrown over our shoulders. Luck was with us, for after the Iirst quarter of a mile we got a ride with some unknown individual. Arriving at our destination, we put on our skis and with the aid of the tow, we got to the second slope. Why the second, I don't know, but I guess we thought we needed no extra prac- tice from the first one-fools that we are! As usual there was a heated argu- ment as to who should be the braver and so gathering all the courage within me, I took off-and I do mean took off! I must have been going 120 miles per hour, Cexaggerated, but who cares '25 when all of a sudden- foiled again!!! Upon recovering, I heard a hysteri- cal scream of laughter, and upon look- ing up I saw Joyce at the top, enjoy- ing herself immensely. I reminded her that she hadn't started off yet, so just to show me, she started off with CAMDEN, MAINE l 25 a push of the skipoles, and went five feet, then-BANG, she disappeared in a drift of snow. Now my turn to laugh! Well, we tried again and with good luck we got to the bottom successful- ly, and after that we got along all right-except for a few minor de- tails, like a broken skipole, etc. ! ll At 5 o'clock our mission accom- plished, we started home, with a good day behind us, and many bruises with us!!! Joan Salisbury '50 IMPRESSIONS OF CHILDHOOD Four-year old Tommy Gross was getting to be more than his mother could cope with. Every day, during the last week, she had told him to stay right around the back door. A few moments after she had gone in the house, though, he would disap- pear in the woods below the house. She had threatened all sorts of things, but they seemingly had made no impression. One sunny morning Mrs. Gross was just about at the end of her pa- tience. Tommy had gone again. She picked up her little instrument of cor- rection and set out to find Tommy. I'll teach him to disobey me, she said aloud as she crossed the lawn and into the woods where she hoped to find him. She had a definite plan of attack. It consisted of stealthily coming up behind him and catching him in the act of whatever it was that was tak- ing him away from home at least once every day. Tommy, she called. No answer. 'Tommy Gross, you answer me, she called again. Here I am, Mama, came the voice of Tommy from the distance. I'm over here behind the big tree that my swing is on. Mrs. Gross, who had abandoned her original plan of attack, now ran up to Tommy. She saw that he was leaning over something small. He had a little fat and some old cake feeding it to the small object in front of him. Tommy stood up as his mother ar- rived on the scene. At the foot of the tree lay a little sparrow. The bird evidently could not fly, and every day Tommy had been feeding it. Mrs. Gross picked up the Sparrow and carried it into the house. After many days of loving care the bird finally flew the table to the flew around the delighted as he rise and fall. One day he Don't you think we ought to let him go back outdoors? Mrs. Gross had been trying to tell Tommy that they couldn't keep him in the house much longer, but she hadn't wanted to take away his little pet. The next day they took the sparrow into the woods again and let him go. He fluttered happily and flew away. Every now and then, though, he would come back and sit on the windowsill and 'sing his beautiful song of happiness for them. Kathleen Dority '50 again. First, from floor, and then he room. Tommy was watched its wings asked his mother, SO DEAR TO MY HEART Dr. Randolf Morrison was Pine Valley's leading citizen. It was a very small valley and he was the only doctor for miles around. He was con- sidered very kind and also smart in his profession. It was April 10, and about this time of year in Pine Valley he was kept very busy on calls for colds, rheumatism, and such cases. It never failed as every year had been the same in all his twenty-two years as a doctor in this little valley. Dr. Morrison slept overtime this morning as his new Westclock alarm clock the neighbors gave him last Christmas didn't go off. He never liked those confounded modern me- chanicals anyway. Besides, his other clock suited him fine as it ticked so loudly you never did get to sleep, so naturally you didn't sleep overtime. He dressed and went to his office, which was upstairs in his house, and 26 HMEGUNTICOOKH gave the orders to his wife, who was his office nurse. He then made his regular calls on patients and had office hours in the afternoon. It was just another day in Dr. Randolf Mor- rison's life. The same old routine, but he never grew tired of it as he loved Pine Valley and his friends there. This was the only kind of life he knew. He was just finishing his supper of Hredflannel hash this favorite dishb as they had had a vegetable dinner the day before. He was read- ing a newly-published book on the modern medical care when the old country phone rang three, his home number. His wife answered and she said it was Dana Warner, a friend that lived five miles away. His wife had burned herself quite badly and it was so painful that he had to ask him to come out there immediately. This was his duty and it was all in the busy day of the doctor, he never minded as this was the life he knew. He was there until 12:30, as he stopped to talk over the crops that were going to be planted. When he reached home, his wife met him on the porch and said that Tammy Morre had called and that it was an emergency. Tammy was a boy of twelve and lived three miles from the doctor's home, it seemed odd to the doctor that Tammy would call this late for him. It must be Tammy's mother as she had been ailing, but she was all right the last time in the doctor's office for a physical. Any- way, the doctor started out. Tammy met the doctor on the porch and showed him to the sick pa- tient. Tammy led the doctor to the stable and on the Hoor lay Tam- my's horse. Tammy explained his horse had been sick all day and Tam- my, unknown to his mother, called the doctor to give him some medicine to make him well again. The doctor was no horse doctor but gave him some medicine, which would do until morning. Tammy, with tears still in his eyes, thanked the doctor and said the horse was the dearest to his heart. The doctor smiled, for he un- derstood. Nona Talbot '50 ON TRIAL Judge George D. White stopped his car beside a hitchhiker. Hop in, son, he said. The hitchhiker, a lad about ten, just stood in the twilight and looked at the judge. He carried a coat and a little zipper bag. Without a word he climbed into the car. Running away ? asked the Judge when they were rolling along the highway. The lad didn't answer and for sev- eral minutes it was so quiet you could almost hear yourself think. The Judge continued, You must have a good reason for leaving home. I've had lots of cases like this and we al- ways seem to get them cleared up. Let's pretend I am acting as judge and you explain your case to me. I knew your father very well and I think I can present his side of the story. Want to try it, John ? Very well, Your Honor, John said, never taking his eyes off the highway ahead. First complaint is that my parents treat me like a six- year old. I'll be eleven in June. They just don't seem to care about me. I have to be in bed early and some- times Mom isn't even home when I come from school. Another thing is money. I asked my Dad about an al- lowance and he said I wasn't old enough to handle money. The boy was silent. Are there any more complaints ? asked the Judge. John shook his head, meaning there weren't. Well, he went on, I think that your parents are only trying to shel- ter you from the cares of the world. One doesn't realize when so young all the troubles and misdeeds going on in the world. I'm not a child any more, replied J ohn, 'Tm getting older and I want CAMDEN, MAINE 27 to be treated like any other boy my age. The car stopped outside a two- story house. Well, John, my boy, I will speak to your mother and see about all these things. You put your case over very well. The boy's face was shining with joy and pride. Gee! thanks, Dad, he whispered. Peggy Connelly '50 THE MISSING LINK The fog rolled in from the harbor in a thick blanket which enveloped the dimly lighted street. From a far corner, a man walked slowly along. As he came nearer, I noticed that his collar was up and his hat was pulled down into his eyes. Also his clothes were shabby and unpressed. It's funny, I thought, what a difference two years could make, just twenty- four short months. Maybe you won- der what connection I have with this man, well, it's a long story . . . Several years ago this same man was president of a large importing firm. The world lay at his feet. Oh, yes, he was important, very impor- tant. But as all great men, he would meet his downfall. It all happened one night when his junior partner was found murdered. It wasn't one of those carefully-plotted story-book murders, because all the evidence pointed towards one man. News- papers flashed the headlines-- Presi- dent of Importing Firm Murders Partner . The reason was supposed to be money. It seems the senior partner was discovered by the junior partner embezzling some of the com- pany's funds. A quarrel started and in the confusion the younger man was killed. All this was reported by the janitor, a man of no importance. During all the publicity it was re- vealed that the black satchel contain- ing the embezzled money was miss- ing. Even after futile days of search- ing it wasn't found. But still the trial continued, and the president was found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment on a decision of self-defense . . . As he spoke, the rays from the street light played on the figure of a wealthy-looking man. He was well- dressed and on his left hand was a large diamond ring. But let us trace this speaker back several years, to the night of the murder. At this time an insignificant janitor burned a small black satchel and moved to an- other town. Could this be the same man, now prosperous, living off the spoils of another's murder? He moved along down the street with a knowing smile on his lips. Because here was the missing link to a por- tion of the police files marked- Money Missing. Betty Thurston '50 ONE OF MY WILDER DREAMS I was walking along a country road one day when I noticed a sign on the lawn of a very expensive-looking farm. It read, Am Selling Every- thing at Great Sacrifice-Moving to S. America? Out of curiosity I wandered into the spacious barn where most of the selling seemed to be taking place. There was nothing very interesting and I was just turning to go when I sighted a Harley-Davidson 3-wheeled delivery model sitting under the raft- ers with a price of 310. I immediate- ly dug out the major part of my earthly fortune and bought the rig. I was just starting for home, which was about 11 miles away, when I saw C. Joyce standing beside the road, looking very folorn. His car had broken down. I offered him a ride and he very skeptically accepted. We tore off down the road and shift- ed into high. At 65 the machine hopped into automatic over-drive! It leaped ahead throwing gravel from under the drive wheel. Joyce, with his glasses hanging from one ear, was screaming, Faster, faster! At every bump in the road, fand there were plentyl my hand jerked the throttle open a little more! When we 28 HMEGUNTICOOKU were hitting about 115 M.P.H., and making contact with the road ap- proximately every 50 feet, the front tire went flat! The machine then turned into a roaring demon, and the situation not being helped any by the gibbering idiot on back hollering for more speed, tore off the road, clear- ing its own path through the woods. Later, much later, we came to a skid- ding halt safe and sound on top of a hill from where we could safely coast into town. You know, sometimes I think if it wasn't for these dreams, life would really get me down. Jack Henderson '49 WESTMORE It was a damp, cold night when Vir- ginia returned home from work on the twenty-seventh of January. She was a singer in a third-rate night club in the lower east section of the city, not far from home, where she lived with her invalid father, Her- bert James. He had been an invalid since the first World War, most of which time he spent in an army hospital. Here he had met Marjorie, his understand- ing nurse, whom he later married. She was from a wealthy family and he very successfully played the stock market. By the time Virginia was born they had a lovely home in the residential section of a popular city. They called their home, West- more . Life went smoothly and was always very gay. The day before' Virginia was to leave for a very fashionable boarding school, however, two tragedies oc- curred. Wall Street crashed and Mar- jorie was instantly killed by an auto- mobile. These two factors considerably changed many things. Virginia did not go to Miss Fleming's. This was her own decision, she loved her fa- ther dearly and did not want to leave him alone. Slowly, one by one, the servants were discharged and then, the thing that broke both their hearts, Herbert sold Westmore . He bought a very small house in a poorer section of the city, they would just live here temporarily, of course, till conditions were better and they could perhaps even buy Westmore back. They lived as carefully as they could, with just one lady coming in daily to do the cooking and a little cleaning. Virginia went to the neighborhood high school, which was much differ- ent from the type of school she was used to. At first she was considered a snob, somehow she did not mind, but after several weeks of being ter- ribly lonely she tried to make friends. She did make friends, but of the wrong kind. Her father realized this, but she would not listen. He saw his daughter changing as well as the neighborhood, it seemed to look cheaper and poorer every day. One year later Virginia, Ginny, as her friends called her, graduated from high school. She no longer talked of going to music conserva- tory, and she now only sang, as Her- bert said, Hcheap and noisy songs of the clubs . Herbert suggested more than once that she try for a scholar- ship of some kind, but she was not interested. She got a job in a small store not far down the street. She was through working at tive, but never came home until almost midnight. This worried her father tremendously, and she would never tell where she spent her evenings. She never brought her friends home, Herbert disliked them and they despised him. The old fogy, said Red one day. Please don't say that, Red I I'll say it if I wanna, see! You know, without that pa of yours, Ginny, you'd be a lot nicer. He talks to you too much. This was the way all of Virginia's friends talked to her, and after a year or so of it, she believed it. She often found herself wishing that CAMDEN, MAINE 29 something would happen to him, and she could sell their dump and marry Red. After six months in the store she found herself bored and tried to find something else. Tony Black, the owner of the Silver Star, discov- ered her voice and hired her. She liked working thereg the money was good and she met so many people. It did not take her long, however, to learn that the Silver Star was a cover-up for a gang of criminals, Tony, of course, being the leader. She was continually getting more and more involved in their dishonest dealings. The police suspected all this but had no proof. They told Her- bert and he immediately asked her about it. She would admit nothing and left the house right away. She went to Tony and told him that Her- bert and the police knew everything. He was furious and threatened to kill her, but she pleaded and con- vinced him that she had told nothing. She went home trembling, know- ing that Tony was going to do some- thing drastic. Red was now a member of the gang and he had always said that he would get even with Herbert. She quarrelled terribly with her fa- ther when she got home and she could not get to sleep when she finally went to bed. Her whole life seemed to pass in front of her. She realized how wrong she had been and was about to run to her father and beg forgiveness when she remembered Tony and Red and all the other crook- ed people she was now a part of. Their friends would never accept her now and they would blame Herbert for everything. She hardly slept all night and went out immediately after breakfast the next morning. Herbert was wise, he saw a differ- ent look in his daughter's eyes, min- gled with the restrained tears that were there when she spoke to him. He had heard her tossing and turn- ing all night, and he was sure that he had heard her crying. Although he said nothing, he had unconsciously forgiven her for all her mistakes. This brings us to the beginning of our story. As I said, it was a damp, cold night when Virginia returned home from work on the twenty-seventh of Janu- ary. She did not see me standing be- hind the car parked across the street. She entered the house cautiously as if she expected to see something un- pleasant. She switched on the light and a second later a blood-curdling scream came from within. Yes, Herbert was dead - shot through the head - and Virginia knew who had done it. I, the district attorney, motioned to my men to be on guard. I was go- ing to try to get Virginia into my car and to the police station where she would be safe. I expected a fight, she would, of course, think that she was being arrested for the murder of her father, which was not true. As I put my hand on the doorknob and was about to turn it, a shot was heard and a body crumpled to the floor. We were thirty seconds too late. Yes, Virginia James had taken her own life. She lay at the feet of her father who sat dead in his wheel- chair. She seemed to be begging his for- giveness, and somehow I feel that in the next world, free from cheap and dishonest people, they will again find Marjorie and peace and live together in another Westmore. Karen Hein THOSE CAMDEN STARS! You say you didn't know we had any? Well, grab a chair and prepare for a shocking expose of Camden's part in the State Inter-scholastic Track Meet. After a thrilling cross-country hare and hound chase consisting of three cars loaded to the gunwales with athletes and funny little teach- ers, they arrived at Colby Campus, the race being won by the great Le- roy Young. 30 HMEGUNTICOOKH The first to show his prowess was J. Keller, he stepped onto the broad- jump track, kissed the boys good-bye, and fouled. He then went on to re- peat this performance four times. In the meantime L. Christie and F. Duncan were having a go at the high jump, when an oiicial called a foul on Duncan, who then became indig- nant and left, followed by Christie. Then came the dashes, our boys trained to run barefoot, were left at the starting line with perforated feet which squirted blood in their eyes, blinding them, and for that reason we failed to add to our score of O . Next came the weight events, the P. A. boomed and Duncan stepped into the circle, strained himself and was carried away to the infirmary. Ed. Note-Any resemblance be- tween Francis Frye and a gibbering idiot is purely his fault, the gibbering idiot! Francis Frye '49 MY TOWN I lived there for many years and came to know the people, the sur- roundings, and the town itself. Everyone in the town knew each other and so that made everybody a neighbor to everyone else. J Every morning was almost the same, but Saturday was the day that all the out-of-town folks came into town to buy their goods for the com- ing week. I got up one Saturday morning, a month before I left the town, and I took notice of the things I had missed during my stay here. As I step down off my front porch, I look across the street to a large barn which has a blacksmith's shop downstairs. There isn't any spreading chestnut tree, but it has the mighty smithy who knows how to swing the heavy sledge which he holds in his large hands. He is liked by all, he likes everyone. Sat- urday afternoon he will go into his backroom and play cribbage with other oldtimers. Then my eyes look up the street and in the distance I can see the white stones of the town cemetery and a few American flags flying in the warm western breeze. It shows that the town had men and women who fought and died for their country. I glance quickly to my right and I see the rolling hills with apple trees planted evenly on the sides of the hills showing Mother Na- ture's work plus man's labor. The air smells fresher than usual, maybe it's because I'm taking notice of the things nature left this little town. I can smell the odor of baked beans coming from a kitchen down the road and the sound of the shoeman repair- ing a pair of shoes for someone in the town. Well, it's about time to get the mail so I will make my way downtown. There is a large group in front of the small country post ofice, everyone waiting to get some mail of impor- tance. They are gossiping about the aiairs of the town or boasting about their farms. Their clothes are clean but not the best, for everyone dress- es in the same country way. They are the common folks who work in the village. It is now the last day of the time I have spent in this little town. Everybody wishes me a hearty fare- well and gives me something to re- member them by. This touches the deepest part of my heart, but the thing that I'll cherish the longest is the welcome-back when I can visit the folks of My Town . BLACK SNOW It was snowing. Big flakes, big- ger than the white of your eye, old Slim Turner used to say. Yes, big- ger than your eye. That's a sure sign they won't last long, mused Jim Ben- ton as he looked out of the window at the huge flakes falling softly to the ground. He glanced at the red and white kitchen clock he had bought for his wife, Jean, on her last birthday. CAMDEN, MAINE 31 Six-thirty now, ought to be over by seven, he thought. Got lots of chores to dog better get started. But the storm wasn't over by se- ven. In fact the iiakes bigger than the white of your eye had turned to smaller fiakes and were now steadily racing to the ground in a swirling mass. Jim didn't mind. He loved the snow. It did mean harder work sho- veling out doorways, tramping from the barn to the house and such, but he loved to see the snow sparkling in the sun and on the tree tops and to recall the snow days when he had helped his father with the chores, wading up to his waist in snow, romping with his dog, Shag, who would be half-buried in the snow, and relive the skating on the river, the sleighrides through the woods, all these precious memories of boy- hood days would live again whenever the snow came. Now happily married and the fa- ther of a nine-year-old boy and a girl, he had his own farm of 350 acres, that his father had left him, two miles from the small town of Fairmont. He possessed two work horses, four cows, three hundred chickens, a pig and her new litter and five hundred mice in the barn, accord- ing to Mrs. Benton, who had had many frightening experiences. He had just been able to pay the final in- stallment on a big green tractor that would make the work on the farm a little easier. His truck that he used to carry his produce to market was in the garage in Fairmont being ser- viced. It continued to snow all that morn- ing-a great carpet of whiteness that stretched for miles it seemed. But around two in the afternoon it finally stopped, and the sun popped through from behind a gray cloud. The world certainly is beautiful, so pure and white, thought Jim as he stood in the doorway of the barn and looked out on the glistening trees and the sunlit roof of the white house that lay across the road. Storm was pretty bad, knocked down the telephone wires, Jim told his wife as he sat down by the kit- chen stove to warm his hands. He could relax until supper time. An hour later as he rose to go into the living room, he glanced out of the kitchen window and was horrified to see the roof of the barn engulfed in fiames. He dashed madly out of the house, his one intention to save the animals and the tractor. As he franti- cally flung open the barn door, he was met by wild gusts of raging iiame making it impossible for him to enter. He ran to the back of the barn but entrance there was impos- sible as the barn was now a raging inferno. Helplessly, he stood watch- ing the hungry flames destroy the possessions for which he had worked so hard. How could it have started? Knowing that help from Fairmont could not reach him because of fallen wires, he turned and looked out over the white fields of snow-barriers between him and assistance and si- lently cursed what he had welcomed that morning. The snow that had seemed so pure and white had sud- denly turned into despairing black. As the sun dipped down behind the snow-covered hills, he stood looking at the spot where the barn had stood, which was now a big stretch of black snow. Dejectedly he turned and walk- ed slowly toward the house. Mary Anne Hale '49 JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN Old Paddy was an Irishmen, as Irish as could be. He'd been born on Emerald Isle and sailed th across e sea. Whenever he thought of his native land so very far away, He swore he'd build a bridge and walk across some day. Paddy worked hard, and he soon grew old, And wh-en he died, fso the story is toldb An angel took Paddy by the hand And took him back to his native land! He lies under the soil that all Irishmen love, For to Paddy old Ireland was Heaven above.

'52 34 UMEGUNTICOOKH CAMDEN I know a little town in Maine With skies and lakes and trees. And on a hill in summertime Are flowers dancing in the breeze. And Mother Nature paints the town When Spring comes every yearg With colors blue and green and brown She tints the land we love so dear. You all have heard of this little town Set on the coast of Maine, You all have seen its beauty gay, Have seen it withstand the snow and rain. People now famous have left it, But they will think of it again And cherish the thought of coming back To the little town on the coast of Maine. Helena Poland '51 TO 'BE OR NOT TO BE CU I dreamt I went to Heav'n one night And there I met :Saint Pete. He welcomed me with open arms- We strolled the golden streets. I looked here and I looked there For one familiar face. I searched in vain, and finally guessed I'd come to the wrong place. So then I made a trip belowi- flt was so very hot!J It didn't take me any time To find the friends I sought. Dressed in red, with forked tails They danced around in glee. To think that I, an angel-child, A devil soon would be. Then I woke up, and laughed aloud. That dream was such a honey! But when I told it to my friends, They didn't think it funny! Pat Kelley l50 GNUTS! Down the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drumsg What is the commotion and why? A Senior is passing by! And who is that slouching along, As if he'd done a world of wrong, His books piled high over his head? VVhy, that's a Freshman! Someday the tables will turn, When the Freshmen the Seniors will spurng While waiting for the day to arrive, We, Freshmen, will have to get by. Minnie Tranquillo '52 RETURN OF SPRING The raindrops fell from heaven, Far to the earth below, Then the smiling sun came out And helped to melt the snow. Then from the lonely snowbeds The trickling waters rang Joining the glistening pools, And thus the brooks began. Then the brooks came gurgling down, Finding the weary way, To join their other brothers, And journey to the bay. Then from the bay they all went: The streams, brooks, side by side, Far beyond the horizon Into the ocean wide. That's the way it all happened, Those simple drops of rain Fell from the azure heavens, And Spring returned again. Carole Thomas '50 DEDICATED TO THIE THIRD 'PERIOD SENIORJS AND THE BOYS IN MACHINE SHOP You might get there at quarter past eight, But usually you're just a few minutes late, If you're on time, you're all tired out, So what's the use of running about? You watch the clock till it's time for dinner, Could swear every minute you're gettin' thinner. The bell finally rings at eleven-fifteen, It's grab your books and home for beans. You're back again at half past twelve, And into those books it's time to delve. A little later you're still in the rut, It's time to try sneaking out for a butt. You sneak down the stairs, out the door, and then!- There's Mr. Wood-you're caught again. So here you are, it's almost four, And you're here for a couple of hours more! Author Unknown THE MARINERXS SONG It was midnight on the ocean, The bell had ceased to ring. The fisherman sat upon the deck To hear the mariner sing. He sang of songs both old and new, He told of stories bold, Of cruel pirates and their decks, 'Twould make your blood run cold. At last he sang of home, sweet home And the tears began to fall, For each had thoughts of another life In the days beyond recall.

SONG OF THE SEASONS The leaves are changing color The days aren't quite as long As they were all summer, And now Ceres sings her song Of harvesting and of autumn Coming, only to bring winter And the cold. King Winter sits on his throne Of ice And throu h the leafless trees - g The wind is blowing, causing The lakes and ponds to freeze. Everything takes shelter, until The days of snow are over And Spring returns. Apple blossoms bud once more And now the flowers peep through The softening earth to see again The sunshine they once knew. Every living thing is glad, For Spring is here to bring The Summer fair. 'Ponds and lakes are sparkling Underneath the summer sky. The trees lift leafy branches As the clouds drift idly by. But soon the summer days must end Only to repeat once more This never ending cycle. Q77 CLASS OF 52 It's Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Nine, Our high school days have begun, But when at last We leave our rooms We'll look back to our barrels of fun. We'll look back to trips and vacations, To our time of being late, We'll remember Freshman Reception too, When we 'entered in '48. We'll remember our time after school hours, And the teachers we'll remember too, We'll never forget our happiest days In the class of 52. TOMORROVV The moon is rising with the mist And the dampness is overcast, While lowly mortals on earth below, Watch as the clouds drift past . . . Only to go onward-forever. They have no end . . . Just the coming day Which brings the blue sky, the sunshine, All the beauty of God's works. Carole Thomas '50 DELUSION It started to snow One dull wintry day, It came in great flakes And I hoped it would stay. It whitened the hills, The fields and the trees, And painted a picture Only in winter one sees. The world looked so pretty All dressed up in white, The snow glistening and sparkling Like stars in the night. That night I made plans Before going to sleep, Of the fun I would have In the snow white and deep. But when came the morn My hopes were in vain, For my beautiful snowflakes Had turned into rain.

There will be only two first-team guards graduating this year so there is a very good chance of winning the championship next year as there are plenty of good guards lined up for the coming season. This year the squad was composed of the following: Seniors-Frances Light, Captain, and Joanne Clayterg Juniors-Peggy Connelly, Manager, Dorothy Bryant, Lois Cookson, Pat- ricia Kelley, Joan Salisbury, Joyce Sylvester, Lucille Talbot, Carole Tho- mas, Betty Thurston and Betty Bur- ridgeg Sophomores-Grace Galanti, Blanche Leonard, Eleanor Lunt, Eve- lyn Lunt, Martha Wood, Jane Rob- bins, Winifred Earl, Beatrice Josse- lyn, and Sylvia Porter, Freshmen- Margaret Crabtree, Ellen Donovan, Minnie Tranquillo, Judy Harvey, Doris Conley, and Helen Young.

Camden led the first, sec- ond, and third quarters by 7-5, 14-11, and 22-19 respectively, but CHS scor- ed 12 points to Waldoboro's 4 in the last quarter, leaving a final score of 35-23.

Camden Outscored at Lincoln 28-37 Camden got of to a slow start in the second league game of the season, with a first quarter score of 14-3 in Lincoln's favor. In the second quar- ter the Camden girls netted a few more points, leaving a 24-11 score at the half. At the end of the third quar- ter, however, Camden had more than doubled its own score and Lincoln was ahead by only 8 points. The game ended with the only league defeat for the Camden girls. Thomas of Camden and Sprague of Lincoln held scoring honors with 17 and 19 points respectively. 38 HMEGUNTICOOKU GIRLS' BASKETBALL Front Row: Joyce Sylvester, Carole Thomas, Betty Thurston, Frances Light, Joanne Clayter, Grace Galanti, Peggy Connelly.

Camden Wins Over Boothbay 40-32 Camden made the long, cold trip to Boothbay to win the second victory in the league games of the season. Both teams were really fighting for this game, but Camden came out on top with just a few points' difference in the scores at the end of each quar- ter. The Camden guards had to work extra hard as the Boothbay forwards were making a lot of long shots. When the final whistle blew, Camden had an 8-point lead over the oppo- nents. Thurston netted 17 points for the Red and White while McDougall followed for the Black and Orange with 16 points. Camden Takes Over at Thomaston 42-28 The CHS team won another league game by more than just topping the score of their opponents, although it was an extra rough game. Camden was leading at the end of the first quarter by only 2 little points but surged ahead in the second quarter with a 19-10 lead at the half whistle, and continued to do so in the last two quarters with leads of 35-18 in the third and 42-28 at the finish. Thurs- ton and Thomas took scoring honors with 17 and 20 points each in the or- der given. Camden Outnets Waldoboro 38-29 Waldoboro came to town on Janu- ary 21, only to lose their second game with the CHS team. The girls had to iight hard for this game as Waldo- boro was a bit peppier than in the first game they played against them. Camden led the first quarter with a score of 9-4, the second with 20-16, the third with 32-23, and the final score was 38-29, giving the Red a 9- CAMDEN, MAINE' 39 point victory over the Blue. Thomas was high basketeer for the evening with 17 points, and Thurston of Cam- den and Feitch of Waldoboro followed closely with 14 points apiece. Camden Throttles Boothbay 40-21 Camden really ran away with this game for a 19-point difference. The Camden guards did a good job hold- ing their opponentis score down to 3 points, while their forwards scored 11 points in the first quarter and con- tinued to hold them down till the final whistle with scores of 20-7, 32-14, 40-21 in the second, third, and fourth quarters respectively. Thirty-four of Camden's forty points were from field goals. Thurston and Thomas were again high scorers with 18 and 16 points respectively. Camden Ties Lincoln 26-26 Lincoln journeyed to Camden for the most exciting game of the season. The first quarter started the game with Lincoln leading by 2 points, 7-5, but Camden came ahead in the second for a 13-9 score. In the third Lincoln again came to the front for a 21-18 score. In the fourth Camden made 4 field goals and one foul shot, giving each team 26 points at the finish. High scorers for the evening were Thomas with 11 and Thurston with 10 for Camden, and Sprague with 12 for Lincoln. Camden Walks Over Thomaston 47-14 Camden really showed what they could do when Thomaston came to town for the last game of the season. The guards practically stopped all progress for Thomaston while the forwards netted baskets just as though there weren't any guards on their side of the fioor. The scores of the quarters were: first, 10-35 second, 24-6g third, 39-103 and fourth, 47-14. Thomas took all honors by netting 26 points, all of which were field goals. BOWLING This year when the meeting for all girls interested in bowling was called, a fairly large group signed up, and under the supervision of Miss Dudley six teams of six members each with substitutes were formed. The Captains were Georgette Bick- ford, Arlene Edgecomb, Margaret Hansell, Joanne Clayter, Beverly Arau, and Roxie Whitehouse. At the end of the season a tourna- ment was held and Arlene Edge- comb's team won the championship. This team was composed of the fol- lowing girls: Arlene, Bebe Leonard, Grace Galanti, Carole Thomas, Lu- cile Drinkwater, and Kay Dority. The high single string was 103 rolled by Carole Thomas. Carole also got the highest total for the double strings with 191 pins for an average of 95.1. No wonder Arlene's team won the tournament! FIELD HOCKEY This year the Camden High School girls tackled their second season at field hockey. Continuing from where they left off last year, with new equip- ment of their own, a large number of girls again went to Camp Merestead for practice games only. Miss Oliver went with the girls and assisted in the instructions given by Mrs. Boehm and Miss Townsend, who generously devoted their time for the enjoyment of the appreciative CHS girls. It is hoped that sometime in the future field hockey will be an inter- scholastic sport or at least an intra- mural sport.

The final tally: Camden--3 runs, 9 hits, 5 errors Waldoboro-7 runs, 5 hits, 5 errors Camden at Lincoln Academy The Camden Mustangs suffered an- other crushing blow at the hands of the Lincoln Academy team. The Lin- coln team rolled 4 runs in the first inning and held their lead all the way.

The victory cry didn't last long, however, for in the next game, Rock- land, our life-long rival, beat us out 7 to 4 with Weymouth on the mound. Camden started the ball rolling in the second inning with 1 run but after that the best they could do was roll up 1 apiece in the 5th, 7th, and 9th innings, while Rockland pulled 2 runs out of the bag in the 4th and 4 more in the 5th, then they hauled in the 7th run in the 7th inning. Final score: Camden 6 hits, 4 runs, 7 errors Rockland 8 hits, 7 runs, 6 errors In the last out-of-town game, Tho- maston nosed us out by 1 run with their star hurler, Dana, taking the honors. The two teams evened up in the first inning with a 1 to 1 score. Then Thomaston came with a run in the 4th to break the tie. The 5th and 7th innings were split equally with 2 runs apiece. Thomaston broke away even further in the 8th with 2 runs while Camden made a last stand in the 9th with 2 runs but couldn't drag in the tying rung consequently the game came out: Camden 11 hits, 6 runs, 8 errors Thomaston 5 hits, 7 runs, 0 errors Boothbay at Camden The Camden boys finally came into their own on their home field when Boothbay took the long trip.

Rockland started off well with 2 runs in the 1st inning, but Camden tied it up in the 2nd with 2 runs of their own. Rockland broke away again in the third with 1 run and followed it up with a run apiece in the 6th and 7th innings. The Mustangs were de- termined on this game and came up with a run in the 5th, 2 in the 7th, and 2 more in the Sth thus making the final score: Camden 9 hits, 7 runs, 6 errors Rockland 7 hits, 5 runs, 4 errors Thomaston at Camden Sparta turned the tables on Tho- maston rather easily and pulled the 4th straight win out of the bag. Camden crossed the plate 4 times in the 2nd inning, 2 more in the third and got in only 2 in the 4th and 1 in the Sth. Therefore the final score was: Camden 14 hits, 7 runs, 8 errors Thomaston 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 errors Waldoboro at Camden In the 3rd home game and 4th win of the season, Camden's Drinkwater walked away with an easy win over WValdoboro.

Camden at Rockport On January 4, the invincible Mustangs pushed 'through to another victory by driving Rockport under the table 52-23. Eaton worked hard and came across with 10 points and Thomas drew a close second with 9. High scorer for Rockport was Frye with 8 points. Collamore refereed. 44 HMEGUNTICOOK7 Camden at Rockland Three days later, January 7, Cam- den's teams went to meet their old rival, Rockland. We got shellacked per usual, but, as we've said before, next year will be diferent. The final score was Rockland 65, Camden 40. The high scorer was Rockland's Con- nellan, who racked up 22 points. Ma- salin was working his best every minute and scored 14 points. Flana- gan and Gay did an excellent job of refereeing. Camden at Thomaston On January 14, the Mustangs walked away with Thomaston 49-29. Quite a change from last year, huh? Ryder and Sparta each scored 11 points. The high scorer for Thomas- ton was Levan with 7 points. The re- feree? Who else but Flanagan? Waldoboro at Camden Boy, didn't we slaughter Waldo- boro! The Iinal score was Camden 50, Waldoboro 19. What a score! Bennett seemed to be hitting the loop this time when he picked up 12 points. Sparta was a trailing second with 8. High man for Waldoboro was Lee with 5. Gay did the honors. Camden at Union W'ell-Ahem-On January 25 the Camden teams struck out for Union feeling confident that the eVening's games would be a pushover. Well, the cheerleaders did pretty well. Af- ter a few, quite a few, verbal battles with Goyne and Allen, the refs, and a little, quite a little, under-their- breath cursing and some not under their breath, the Camden boys got walloped 38-31. That blond boy, Knight, of Union, was high with 19 points and Day, also of Union, was second with 13. Ryder topped the Camden boys with 10 points. Rockport at Camden Rockport came over February 1, and played a pretty good game. Cam- den won over them 43-30. Not bad for a small school! Frye of Rockport was high with 19 points. Camden's own Thomas was second high with 13. Quinn was the very capable referee. Boothbay at Camden February 4, and Boothbay came over. We beat 'em. Bennett really got hot in this game and put through 18 of Camden's 45 points. Harris of Boothbay tried hard and sunk 14 of their 34 points. Gay was a good re- feree. Lincoln Academy at Camden The really important game of the season was on February 8, when Lin- coln Academy came over. Camden was in top form that night and pulled a decisive victory out of the bay 41- 27. This gave the Mustangs a good chance to tie Lincoln for the cham- pionship. Ryder was high scorer with 11 points. Thomas pulled a close se- cond with 10. High boy for Lincoln was Valentine with 8. The ref was Sezak. Camden vs Legion On the 11th day of February the boys took on the Legion. What a game! Had everybody on the edge of the seats. The final score? Camden boys 62, Camden Legion 33. Hearty was high scorer, scraping up 13 points. Clark Young did pretty well with 9. The ref was that up-and- coming Coach Dailey. Rockland at Camden Rockland came on the 15th and beat us per usual. But, what do you expect? Besides 43-35 isn't a bad score. Foote of Rockland took the honors with 13 points. Connellan of Rockland and Masalin tied up for second with ten points each. Wood was the refere'e. Thomaston at Camden Thomaston came over on the 18th for the last scheduled game of the season. We beat them 67-31. Thomas- tonis Stone was high with 15 points. That new boy, Hearty, came up with 12 points for second high. This game CAMDEN, MAINE 45 made Camden and Lincoln Academy tied up for the Knox-Lincoln County Championship. Flanagan wasn't a bad referee. Camden vs Lincoln Academy Now we come to the all-important game of the season, the play-off be- tween the Camden Mustangs and Lincoln Academy. Larson of Lincoln helped to make the game exciting by piling up 15 points. Page didn't help Camden any with his 13. Bennett was second high with 14 points. All the way through it was anybody's game and then in the very last of the 4th quarter Lincoln sunk that last heart- breaking basket. So-the final score was Lincoln 45, Camden 43. Di Renzo and Wood did a very good job of re- fereeing. 12 Wins-5 Losses JUNIOR VARSITY Season's Record Camden 20 Union 23 Camden 23 Lincoln Academy 21 Camden 35 Faculty 32 2 Wins-1 Loss Individual Averages 1 Camden J.V.

It was a close game all the way but finally Union pushed through with their last ounce of dying strength and won 23-20. Heald of Camden and Cramer and Payson of Union tied for honors with 8 points each. Cal- derwood and Luce were the referees. Camden vs Faculty February 11 came and the Jay- Vees took on the mighty Faculty team. Just in case youire interested, the members of the Faculty team were Mr. Walker, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Dailey, Mr. Dickens, Mr. Christie, Mr. Means and Mr. LaBarge. Foggy Bennett of the faculty was high scor- er with 14 points. Hanson of the Jay- Vees was a near second with 13. It might interest you to know that the Christie family was well represented in this game. Lindon Christie, Sr., Lindon Christie, Jr., and Paul Chris- tie played. Finally the J ayVees took over the faculty 35-32. Chubby Ryder made an attempt at being the referee. Camden vs Lincoln Academy On that fateful day when the var- sity lost the championship to Lincoln Academy, the rooters had some con- solation. The Camden Jayvees beat the Lincoln Jayvees in a close hard- fought game, 23-21. Banks of Cam- den and Belknap of Lincoln tied for first place with 8 points apiece. That long, lanky Lindon Christie, Jr., was second with 7. Di Renzo and Wood were the refs. IN TRAMURAL COUNCIL The Intramural Council of '48-'49 consists of 2 members from each class. The duty of this Council, which was originated last year, is to pro- mote more and better sports within the school. For instance, this year the Intramural Council arranged a football league between the classes, a winter sports carnival with classes competing against each other, also a Knox-Lincoln County winter sports carnival, a league between classes for basketball, and an intramural track meet. INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL As mentioned before, there was an Intramural Football League this year with all classes participating. The boys, due to lack of equipment, aren't allowed to play tackle football 46 ME'GUNTICOOK so they compromised on a game call- ed Hag football. In this game each player has a flag stuck in the back of his pants and whenever it is pulled out, the man has been tackled The schedule and scores are as fol- lows: Juniors 33-Sophomores 0 Seniors 28-Freshmen 0 34-Freshmen 0 Juniors Seniors 28-Sophomores 0 Juniors 28-Seniors 28 Sophomores 7-Juniors 34 Freshmen 7-Seniors 7 Freshmen 12-Juniors 34 Sophomores 0--Seniors 34 Seniors 6-Juniors 0 Freshmen 6-Sophomores 23 The final tally: Lost Tied Won Seniors 4 0 2 IN TRAMURAL BASKETBALL The Juniors proved to be the big wheels in basketball this year. They went through the season undefeated. Schedule and scores: Won Lost Seniors 1 2 Juniors 3 0 Sophomores 2 1 Freshmen 0 3 INTRAMURAL CARNIVAL One of the highlights of the year was the Intramural Winter Sports Carnival, when all of the classes sent their teams to the Snow Bowl for the day. I believe that almost everybody had a good time. Once again that mighty Senior class came out on top with 36 points. Not far behind were the Juniors with 31.
