SPORTSMIANSHIP Spiortsmanship, good sportsman- ship, means more in life than you realize at first thought. You say, Oh, I know all about sportsmanship. In basketball and baseball I take wins and defeats alike and try my best to abide by the rules. In my school work I don't cheat. Of course these are all important, but real sportsmanship means more than simply observing the rules in sports. It means, too, following the rules of fair play in life every day. It is easy to be a good sport when everything is going your way and you are riding on the crest of the wave- that isn't the test. The person who can still show good sportsmanship in the face of adversity is the one who has what it takes. Suppose the going is a little tough -it's bound to be at times. Do you sit back and blame everyone and everything for your bad luck, brood- ing and thinking that no one else gets the tough breaks you Ido? That isn't playing the game according to rule- that surely isn't good sportsmanship. You say, But life is different from a game. Why is it? There are win- ners and losers in life as well as in baseball and football. Your life is what you make it the same as your HEMEGUNTICOOK 3 - . .. .

If you lose a game you don't go crying in a corner, Knot if you are a good sportj so Why should you when things go wrong each day 7 After your school days are over and you are out in the world working for a living, you're going to run up against all kinds of people and condi- tions. That is when good sportsman- ship can be greatly measured. You can begin preparing for that day now. A truly good sport follows all the rules: basketball, baseball football, cards, studies and above all, life. -Lucille Talbot, '50 THINKING The slogan of one of the largest cor- porations in the United States is think,'. Placards on which are Writ- ten this Word confront employees at every turn. lt's a small word, but when we stop to realize how orten we use this word in daily conversation its significance looms large: I think begins many a sentence or 'tl clon't think , bold phrases, more often than not used unthinkingly. To train children to think for themselves is the chief aim of educa- tion. Many times throughout our schooling we have been given assign- ments of problems and writings and have wondered what ever prompted our teacher to give us that. Many times We have asked questions of our parents and we have received the an- swer: t'Use your own judgment. This is all part of the game of grow- ing up and learning not to be depen- dent on someone else to do the work for us. It's the thinkers of the world that are the leaders. Today's leaders did not attain their prestige by someone else doing their work. Everyone has seen pictures of men of all nations seated around long tables arguing 4 THEMEGUNTICOOK over today's international problems. They are the thinkers of the world and they are the leaders. Thought once awakened does not slumber. Once you have learned the process of thinking for yourself you will never be satisfied to let someone else do it for you. You may not be a leader, but you can show that you can think for your- self by choosing your leaders wisely. Before deciding what man you will follow, give serious thought to itg and choose the man that is the deepest thinkerg for he is the leader. Carlyle says, In every epic ofthe world, the great event, parent of all others, is it not the arrival of a think- er in the world. -Mlilton Christie, '51 WE CAN WIN Look what we have! We have a strong peace-loving na- tion. We have a strong people's gov- ernment. We have a competitive nation which is waiting for each and every one of us to show what we can do and do well. We are worth what we want to be. We can get out in the world and buck- le down and do something or we can lie around and be parasites off the work of others who are what we should be. To buckle down and work is very easy to say. It takes more than just talking about success to accomplish it. It takes determination and a true will to win. It takes a lot of courage to stick to a goal and obtain its divid- ends in full. Life will be tough for all of us if we really want to accomplish things worth whileg it will be even tougher if we try to accomplish these things in a dishonest way. In this great country of ours, work pays 05. It is not done in vain, and in the end the reward is great for a person with determination and the will to win. --Gilbert Laite, '50 pl ,iq X2 ' QR THEMEGUNTICOOK 5 f .X ff .f ' 791 .fy ' Y Wagvz ff X . if .QL 7 I , f 'Q i' 13' Nearly four years ago ithirty-six months, to be exactl a strange. awe- ful group of children entered Camden High School. After a few weeks of getting adjusted, the mighty seniors invited us up to the main room. They taught us the school song and in- formed us that during our two-day initiation we must be able to sing it to any senior who so requested. This was only the beginning! When it was all over, though, we felt much more a part of things and the seniors were really very understanding. Somehow we d'idn't seem to accomplish much, except for having fun, the first year. We did manage to have a picnic dur- ing graduation week, however. We had big ideas the next year. We looked down from our domain, the main room, at the poor freshmen and were thankful we had passed that stage. A class meeting was held to elect two new class officers and ano- ther student council representative. Later an Intramural Council was formed and we contributed four able members. The Snow Bowl was the scene of a wonderful party that win- ter. It was the sophomores finally be- having themselves and accomplishing something. We were juniors! The back of the main room was all ours! Would we go to Washington? We certainly would! We had food sales as often as possible and in October we had a x7bi,DLf?f Hayseeders' Ballu which was such a success that we said we would have another the next fall. Then, of course, our Junior Prom. Another success! What if we did make only 3518.05- we had fun! Always ahead of us was one goal, a Washington trip, and al- ways behind us was Miss Keating, pushing us on. Oh, that glorious day in May when we chose our class rings! We didn't see how we could possibly wait for them until October, but it was well worth it. Soon came June and graduation. How wonderful to march with the seniors! And as we sat in the front rows of the Opera House watching our good friends, the '49ers, receive their diplomas, we all felt a strange sense of realization come upon us. One year from now are will be up there doing the very same thing! We will be graduating! September 1949 came at last. Se- niors! Oh, those poor little freshmen! Did we actually ever look so small and insignificant? Although we weren't allowed to give them the same sort of treatment we had received, the fresh- men proved to be wonderfully good sports and we all had lots of fun. Our first real excitement came with Jack- son-White who took our pictures. Then our rings came, and also our proofs. VVe were really living the busy lives of seniors. Gosh, it was fun! We carried out our plans re- garding another Hayseeders' Ball 6 THE MEGUNTICOOK and soon after that came our senior play. The members of our class who had done so well in the school plays plus a few new personalities com- bined to produce a terrific success. Christmas came and with it a lovely Christmas ball. We realized that April was but a few short months away and we still needed Over a thou- sand dollars! The Show Boat! No more need be said. Everyone knows how we worked and what we achiev- ed. With the aid of our dear friend Mr. Charles Wood, and several oth- ers, and a few more food sales, we had our quota. Although we couldn't decide till the last minute how we would travel, we finally departed in two wonderful McLaughlin buses, each equipped with a marvelous per- sonality in the form of Henry and Clay. The weather was perfect and with Mr. Payson as our guide, we had a never - to - be - forgotten trip. Back to school and the voting for class parts and gowns. Then the choice of our announcements, and now here we are. Just where we saw the '49ers a year ago. Are those tears in your eyes? Well, I dOn't doubt it. Wc've nad our troubles, but with such a wonderful group of good sports and teachers and underclassmen, how could we help but hate to leave? You'll see us aroundg some only during va- cations, but we just couldn't stay away too long. We, the class of '50, wish to you, our good friends and supporters, all the luck in the world and all the fun 11. Margaret Connelly 90.5 12. Robert Davis 90.1 13. Dirk Brown 90.1 14.

We shall never be together again, as a class here in dear old C.H.S. There are so many pleasant mem- ories to look back on that they over- shadow the petty arguments and fights that we had. Remember the Hayseeders' Ball , our Junior year? It was our first eEort to make money, and much to our surprise, we had a crowdm Next I think of the day we chose our class rings. It seemed to bring us a little closer together to look for- THEMEGUNTICOOK 9 ward to the future when we would be seniors. Then-graduation-and at last we were officially seniors. Our first act was to take care of the freshmen, which we did ably. Then we had our pictures taken, Just one more step in the life of a senior. We all had a wonderful time in the senior play, t'Seventeenth Summer . It started many new fr'ie'n'dships- and renewed old ones. We won't for- get it very soon. Next was the Christmas Ball, and ShoWboat rehearsals started. The success of Showboat seemed to unite us a little more. And now, when we are nearing the time of graduation, it brings a lump in my throat to think of the fun w'e've had as a class. Itts time to say good- bye to the wonderful times of the past, and say hello to the future. So I wish every one of you all the luck in the world in your future life. May you find happiness and success somewhere in your future life-and may we all meet again some day. Yours for memories, Ruthie, '50 SENIORS THESPIANS The Senior Class of nineteen-fifty Presented a play that was mighty nifty. SEVENTEENTH SUMMER was the name Of the play presented at Camden, Maine. A comedy-drama, this work was classed: And the cast of characters was unsurpassed. The title role of t'Angie was played By Nancy Brewster, a fair young maid. t'Jack, Lindon Christie, was Angie's beau, And Ruth Littlefield excelled as Hlvlrs. Morrow. The part in which the mcst patience was had, Was Charles Dudley, the poor suffering' nDad.u Mary Connelly played 'iMargaret, Ang-ie's sister, Engaged to Ari, Gil Laite was this mister. Another sister, t'Lorraine, chased after meng Betty Thurston was she-just right for her -then! f'Martin, by Jenness Keller, was Lorraine's hope, But she knew not how with him to cope. A menace named 'tJane Nona Talbot did plays She tried to steal Angie's Jack away. Joan Salisbury played 'tMargie. another friend, And t'Fitz , by Dirk Brown. was her ser- vant no end. .lane's boy-f1'iend Tony, Wimp Burnham played, However, at Angie a few passes he made. And last, but not least, was little sister Kitty, With bike and hammer and paper dolls pretty. Yours truly filled this part with plenty of zest, It just came natural to be such a pest! -Celie Talbot, 50 TOMORROW FOR US W'e, Seniors of 1950, are abenf. fu leave high school. We have completed twelve grades of educational learning. We have become acquainted with many students in various schools, in outside activities such as sports, mu- sic festivals, club conferences, church groups, and others. We have stren- gthened our minds in the knowledge of worldwide, statewide, and sur- rounding conditions. We have come to school each day and gone home each night without giving thought to the fact that we are the future citi- zens of the United States. In the past four years, we have shared in victory and defeat, we have become well-known to the teachersg we have tried to help in any way we co.1ldg and we are sorry, in a way, that it is almost over. The doors are closing slowly behind us. We are now young men and women in the world of tomorrow. Most of us will start working as soon as we have left high school, but 10 THE MEGUNTICOOK there are a few of us who will go on to preparatory schools or colleges, studying to be an essential part in work of the future. We entered high school with an important feeling and now we are leaving high school feel- ing heavy-hearted. But let's remem- ber this-as long as we keep a strong upper lip and strive for that goal, we shall become tomorrow's world and our children shall follow in our foot- steps, continuing the same pattern, but we hope, doing better. The to- morrow for us is the tomorrow WE plan. -Lindon Christie, Jr., '50 THE WASHINGTON TRIP The day dawned bright and sunny on Saturday, April 15, and the sen- iors, at long last, started off at 7:30 A. M., for Washington on the two Mc- Laughlin buses. Attired at first in new spring finery, hats, gloves, and topcoats were soon discarded for the long trip ahead. Eight o'clock that night found the group in Bridgeport, Conn. By 7:30 Sunday morning the second lap of the journey was started, and thirteen hours later Washington was taken by storm . Monday morning the group visited the Smithsonian Institute, the Na- tional Museum, and the Washington Monument. Many, who felt extra brave, walked up the stairs of the Monument, but very few walked down-Mr. Wood did though. Never again will we belittle the older gen- eration. During the afternoon the class toured the Bureau' of Engraving a-nd Printing, and the F.B.I. The evening was free and most of us went to the movies, after a delicious meal at the Lotus, a Chinese restaurant with dancing and a floor show-with monkeys. Tuesday was another beautiful day and the first place we visited was Mou-nt Vernon. While in Virginia we went to the home of General Lee, Ar- lington National Cemetery with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and Amphitheatre. Following this we re- turned to Washington to see the Na- tional Zoological Park, the National Cathedral, and the Pan American Building. Tuesday evening found us at the Lincoln and Jefferson Memo- rials, after which we visited the Na- tional Airport. While there we were conducted on a tour of the Weather Bureau. Wednesday, being our last day in the Capital, was crowded especially full of activities. Rising late 182151 we went first to the National Gallery of Art. From there we stopped a mo- ment at the Botanical Gardens en route to the Supreme Court. After a light lunch we went to the Senate OHice Building to meet our only lady senator, Margaret Chase Smith. A tour of the Capitol followed this ex- citing visit. Before leaving Washing- ton, we had one more place to see- the Library of Congress. There our visit to the U. S. Capital came to an end. Thursday morning we again board- ed the two buses and started off, this time for New York, via Gettysburg. After a tour around the battlefield we were shown the electric map which so cleverly illustrates the bat- tle of Gettysburg. We arrived 'in New York much lat- er than was anticipated so the eve- ning was ours. On Friday our first stop was the Statue of Liberty, Where we met Supt. Foster, formerly of the Cam- den State Park. From there we went to St. Patrick's Cathedral and then to Radio City. We went first to the Observation Roof of the RCA Build- ing where we all lost our stomachs going up in the elevator fto say noth- ing of coming downb ! Next came the conducted one-hour tour of the NBC Broadcasting Studios. In the after- noon we went to the Radio City Mu- sic Hall for the stage show and then on to a tour of Chinatown. On Fri- day night we all became kids again and went to the Ringling Bros. Bar- num and Bailey Circus. THEMEGUNTICOOK 11 At 6 A. M. Saturday morning, we started on the last lap home in our now much-beloved buses! We arrived in good old Camden around 7:30 P. M., rather tired but very happy. Just a word to other classes who will make this trip-Mr. Payson will say, You are young and you can't take it but try to keep up with me! He is right-we know! P. S.-If you read further you will now come across the inside dope on our Washington Trip the story be- hind the scenes that is never read. Monday night after eating in the Lotus we were all hotel-bound when Mr. Payson came across a little Ne- gro boy. Well, you all know Mr. Pay- son and his VVh0t'?'! Kind Sir Payson thought it was time for the young child to learn the right pronunciation of the English language so he pursued the child and asked him to pronounce what , The little boy was in his element, however, and he in turn asked the great Sir Payson a question- Hey, Mister, do me a favor?'! 'tWhy cer- tainly, son, replied the great Sir. The Negro boy then drawled, 'fWell, then, run along. Another night while we were in Washington, Arlene Butler really got herself in a predicament. Poor Ar- lene was sure that someone had stolen her skirt for she had looked high and low and found it nowhere. Finally, in desperation, she gave up the hunt to go to the Airport with the rest of the group, hoping that she would find it upon her return. But when we got to the airport the strangest thing happened to Arlene-she found, to her amazement, that she in a flurry had on her skirt-but under her dress. We had to remind the girl that it wasn't winter. Wednesday night the boys really entered into the spirit of things. To show their enthusiasm they indulged in a battle, with ice cubes! No one really minded however for they were in the old, discarded barbershop in the Plaza Hotel. Of all the grand kids on the trip we all agree that Joannie Salisbury af- forded the most laughs. For example, the two buses had stopped so that we could eat before continuing our journey to Washington. Everything was just fine until the teachers and bus drivers had herded us into the buses and we were again on our way. All of a sudden there was a blood- curdling scream and Joannie bound- ed out into the aisle gabbling some- thing about her braces. Well, the buses stopped and the teachers and bus drivers and Joannie ran back into the busy traffic to find the lost braces. It seems that Joannie had put them carefully in a piece of napkin and then just as carefully had thrown the whole thing out into the Hying traliic. You can just imagine what the ls-r'1 es looked like! Undescribable. Another thing we will always re- member about the trip, the amusing side, that is, is Joannie's concoctions! No need to say more. Just ask, Joannie. As we have said before, we will al- ways remember the trip to Washing- ton. It was really very educational and most of the group got a lot out of it. But to make anything perfect there must be a mixture of work and fun. It was a terrific combination- just the right mixture. 12 THE MEGUNTICOOK 1, Jeannette Leachg 2. Martha Frye: What fun!: 4.

There was no hazing this year. The poor dears just wore name cards, bowed and said 'tHail, Mighty Sen- ior, and learned the school song. On Friday night, September 16, practically everyone at C.H.S. gath- ered at the Opera House to see the well-planned initiation. Everyone was a good sport and did his stunt well. Not only the freshmen were initiated but also all the new upperclassmen. The Grand March followed, led by Senior President Fred Hale and his freshman partner. As is customary, all seniors escorted a freshman on the March. Refreshments were served and dancing climaxed this eventful eve- ning. The freshmen were now a true part of C.H.S. HAYSEEDERS' BALL The second annual Hayseeders' Ball was held October 21st at the Opera House. Old clothes and dungarees were the costumes for the evening. Music was furnished by Moody Bro- thers' Orchestra, which played waltz- es, foxtrots, and square dances. Re- 7 7 freshments were sold and a good crowd attended the event. It is hoped that in the future the Hayseeders' Ball will be an annual affair and the classes will have as much fun and success as the class of '50 had in putting it on. THE BAND The band, which lost thirteen play-- ers through graduation last year, has many new and less experienced mem- bers. Those selected for membership are from the instrumental classes of the regular school program, and have had a successful try-out experience over a period of time with the school band. The Knox County Teachers' Asso- ciation extended an invitation to the concert band to play for their conven- tion at Rockland High School on No- vember 10, 1949. Many favorable comments were heard from the teach- ers at the conclusion of the program. At noon a group of bandsmen fur- nished music during the luncheon held in the gymnasium of Rockland High School. For the second successive year the C.H,S. Band has been pleased to have the opportunity to render its support to its basketball team in the play-off, to break the tie for first place in the league between Lincoln Academy and to ,is xx XX rc-X f 24 ATHEMEGUNTICOOK Qfi f i , l Li . , .,., NSWX 6 , BAND First row: Helen Payson, Patricia Kelley, Milton Christie, Helena Poland, Dwight French, Betty Thurston, Frank Stearns, Maurice Payson, Kathleen Dority, David Crockett.

Fourth row: Barbara Harding, Dirk Brown, 'Charles Dudley, Lindin Christie. Jerry Burkett, Christine Plaisted. Camden, held in the Community Building in Rockland. The band members were happy over the Way in which their music was received by the crowd of basketball enthusiasts present to witness an exciting game. The concert band has presented programs for the American Legion County Convention in the Camden Opera Houseg the Rockport Seaside Wonderland' Carnival, and the Mu- sic For Springtimen program for the Camden Cancer Drive, in the Opera House. Special mention should be made of the latter, because of the at- tractive and colorful setting as planned and arranged by the commit- tee who invited the band to present their concert program. The bright spring flowers, backed by evergreens, which banked the pit and boxes in front of the stage, along with the crimson and gray uniforms and the glisten of the polished instruments of the band on the stage, presented a picture long to be remembered. Frequently, when only pit music is desired, a small ensemble group of in- strumentalists from the concert band is formed and plays for such occa- sions as the Senior and School Playsg Graduation and the annual senfior production to raise funds for the Washington Trip, which this year was t'ShoWboat . The personnel of these ensembles is not necessarily the same each time, but varies, and consequent- ly gives opportunity for more l'ess-eX- THEMEGUNTICOOK 25 perienced players to perform in small- er instrumental groups. At this point, the present and alum- ni band members, along with the di- rector, wish to pay special tribute and say a lasting tThank You to Mr. Charles C. Wood, to whom this 1950 yearbook is being dedicated. Mr. Wood has long been a constant friend of the Camden High School Band, regularly attending all public perfor- mances in Camden, and in numerous ways showing his interest and giving them encouragement. As has been his custom for many years, Mr. Wood in- vited the Band and the Commandery men to his annual Easter Breakfast, followed by the march to and from the morning service at the Baptist Church. In the mail on Monday morn- ing following Easter this year came a check of appreciation to the band from Mr. Wood, in special recogni- tion of Easter 1950. The concert and marching band, as usual, will participate in the auditions and parade at the Eastern State Mu- sic Festival in Augusta on May 13, and the New England Music Festival at Rutland, Vermont, on May 19 and 20. It is hoped that the results will be as favorable this year as in the past, and that the band may continue to maintain its First Division Rating. The marching band will participate in the Memorial Day parades in Cam- den and Lincolnville. Because of the fact that, during the course of a school year, so many of the school activities of necessity de- pend almost entirely on the gener- osity and loyalty of the members of their home community for financial support, it was agreed early in the year that the band, for one school or- ganization, would not attempt to raise any money this year by means of public concerts or campaigns for funds, but would make its public ap- pearances only by invitation from local organizations or persons, and for special events. VOCAL MUSIC AND THE SCHOOL CHOIR A plan is now in the process where- by more opportunity for participation in vocal music activities will be off- ered to the boys and girls in the school as a whole. During the past two years, a shift has been underway from a large school chorus of unison singing to a smaller, more selected grouping of voices for the purpose of developing more and better part-singing. The al- lotted one forty-minute period per week for vocal music, if used for the large chorus group for general sing- ing, has eliminated in the past, the opportunity for the developing of more specialized vocal music for those interested. It was the original intention to off- er more general assembly singing to the school this year to counter-act the elimination of the general chorus, and still give everyone who wished an opportunity to sing, but with so many activities of the school going on within a week, plus so many neces- sary break-ins from the outside to the normal weekly school program, gen- eral singing has had to be at a mini- mum, unfortunately. In order to designate the more specialized vocal music groups this year, the term School Choir has been adopted. From this group of 67 mem- bers in the School Choir, three spe- cialized singing groups have resulted: The School Choir, the Boys' Choir of 24 members, and the Girls' Choir of 43 members. Due to the fact that many boys and girls, even though they may have the better voices, often so strongly prefer not to try out, because of nervousness, when individual voice try-outs are re- quired, the individual members this year were selected by a Committee of Listeners . This committee in- cluded the director of vocal music. None of the vocal groups have par- ticipated in public performance this year, but already have definite plans for next year. 26 THE MEGUNTICOOK SENIOR PLAY The students of Camden High's class of 1950 scored a hit performance with 'Seventeenth Summer, enacted by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company on Friday, November 18th. The Camden Opera House was fllled to capacity with a responsive and enthusiastic audience. The play tells the ingenious an-d gay story of the Morrow family and all their trials and tribulations dur- ing the summer months. There is a possibility you may have in your fam- ily a charming daughter like Angie Morrow. Angie reiiects back on the summer when life began to seem a little different. She is growing up and the experience bewilders her. Heretofore she has never had a date and then suddenly when she is asked, everything becomes confused. Her family good-naturedly teases her, and although she is happy beyond words, she feels a little twinge of fear at what is happening. Everyone who has gone through his Seven- teenth Summer appreciated the situ- ations in which Angie and her family became involved. USeventeenth Summer, a three- act comedy in a typical American set- ting, was cleverly handled by the en- tire cast and they enacted their vari- ous roles convincingly. Perhaps the most sympathetic portrayal was Lu- cille Talbot, the youngest sister, who cut paper dolls out of her father's eve- ning paper, and made her the show's number one scene-stealer. Sharing top honors was Nancy Brewster in her skillful performance as Angie, the Morrow family's charm- ing daughter. The rest of the talented group of seniors comprising the cast were as follows: Margaret, Angie's engaged sister, Mary Connelly, Lor- raine, her hopeful sister, Betty Thurs- tong Kitty, her ten-year-old sister, Lucille Talbot, Mr. and Mrs. Morrow, Charles Dudley and Ruth Littlefield, Jack, the boy Angie likes, Lindon Christie, Jr.g Art, Margaret's fiance, Gilbert Laiteg Martin, Lorraine's hopeful, J enness Keller, Jane, a catty friend of Angie's, Nona Talbotg Tony, a boy friend, W'entWorth Burnham, Margie, Angie's gossipy girl friend, Joan Salisburyg Fitz, her steady'l, Dirk Brown. Gail Frye, originally scheduled to play the part of Art, Margaret's fian- ce, fell ill the last week of rehearsal. His place was take-n by Gilbert Laite and Dirk Brown took Gilbert's place, in a last minute changeover. In the words of the Thespian world, Seventeenth Summer was a hit because of the vast amount of work performed by 'every member of the cast, by a diligent behind-the-scenes stage crew, and by Miss Ethel Oliver, whose tireless efforts made the play a success. Prompter for the cast was Peggy Connelly, and the hard-working prop- erty committee consisted of Arline Quinn, Patricia Kelley, Gordon Bass, and Dirk Brown. An enormous pub- licity committee was directed by Mr. Payson. MAGAZINE DRIVE The gross total of the Curtis Maga- zine Drive this year, although not as high as last year, still brought in a large sum of money. The totals are as follows: Seniors .......... 35471.00 Juniors .......... 49.80 Sophomores . . . . 164.90 Freshmen .... . 40.10 3725.80 School Commission . 35268.94 Following the usual plan, the school was divided into two teams, Seniors and Freshmen, Juniors and Sopho- mores. Thanks to the hard work of the Seniors, the former team came out the winners. Q This year again the Seniors turned their credits into money for the Washington trip. This fund was boosted with the 579.04 received in this manner. THEMEGUNTICOOK 27 High salesman was Lindon Chris- tie, Jr., '50, with 8154. The General Manager of this year's drive was Wentworth Burnham, whose competent assistant was Kath- leen Dority. Individual class captains were: Seniors, Patricia Kelley, Ju- niors, Charles Masalin, Sophomores, Ronald Banks, Freshmen, Ralph Mill- er. The faculty advisor was Miss Keating. The school's commission is used to provide funds with which to carry out the athletic program of the school. THE SCHOOL PLAY On April 13, the annual school play was presented in the Opera House un- der the able direction of Miss Ethel Oliver. The play was a comedy by the name of A Date With Judy . The cast worked hard to make the play another success and their efforts were truly rewarded, The play centered around Judy Foster, a teen-age girl, who wanted more than anything else to be queen of the Community Relief Fund Ball and also to keep her boyfriend, Oogie Pringle. After many hardships, most of which were borne by the Foster family, she was crowned queen at the last moment and Oogie took her to the dance. The cast included the following: Judy Foster, a teen-age miss, Doris Hopkins '51, Mrs. Foster, Judy's mo- ther, Ruth Littlefield '50, Mr. Foster, Judy's father, Alfred Darrow '53, Randolph Foster, Judy's younger brother, Milton Christie '51, Mitzi Hoifman, a teen-age friend of Judy's, Joan Salisbury '50, Barbara Win- socket, another friend of Judy's, Jane Robbins '51, Mrs. Schlutzhammer, lady of the P.T.A., Martha Frye '53, Ooogie Pringle, the man in Judy's life, Douglas Green '53, Rex O'Con- ner, the new boy in the neighbor- hood, Parker Laite '51, Susie, Rex's younger sister, Charline Talbot '53, Mrs. Hotchkiss, does Mrs. Foster's washing, Betty Perry '51, Eloise, her daughter who elocutes, Lucille Talbot '50, Mr. Martindale, a Broadway play producer, Jim McGrath '51, Hannah, the maid, Ruth Sims '52. The property committee consisted of the following: David Crockett '51, Gordon Bass '50, Ralph Miller '53, Natalie Payson '51, Helen Payson '51, The following made up the publi- city committee: Jerry Burkett '53, Jane Gifhn '50, Grace Galanti '51, Olive Jameson '51, Nona Talbot '50, Mary Connelly '50, Arline Quinn '50, Elaine Spruce '50, The prompter was Carole Thomas '50. Music was presented by a selected group of the C.H.S. Band under the direction of Mr. Calderwood. THE CHRISTMAS BALL According to custom, the seniors put on a Christmas Ball. All seniors must have had the same thought run- ning through their heads, How in the world are we going to raise enough money for the Washington trip in April? Realizing that all the college kids would be home for their Christmas vacation, the class decided to put on a Christmas Ball. The date, they decided, would be on Friday the 23rd of December at 8:30 P. M. The Ball would be held in the Opera House and the Moody Brothers would be the Music Makers for the evening. They were very good too. Since the boys of the senior class were organizing the paper drive, and the band members of the class were thinking up acts for the Showboat the rest of the people were put on committees. They were the follow- ing: decoration committee, Mary Connelly, Peggy Connelly, Nancy Brewster, Georgette Bickford, Pa- tricia Barton, and Arline Quinn, tic- ket committee, Nancy Brewster, Jane Giflin, check room committee, Sherma Hubbard, Jeannette Leach. The Opera House was beautifully decorated with green and red crepe paper and a large decorated Christ- mas tree was put in front of the stage. 28 THE MEGUNTICOOK Although it didn't seem too much like Christmas, for there wasn't any snow, everyone had a terrific time. THE CAHESIS CLUB Camden High School has this year, for the first time, an organized speech group named by its members the Ca- hesis Club. This newly formed club holds regular meetings in the English room every Friday, third period. The officers are: President, Ruth Little- field '50, Vice - President, Lin-don Christie, Jr. '50g Secretary-Treasun er, Milton Christie '51, Anyone taking the course in public speaking at the high school is eligible to join. Many interesting topics have been presented by various speakers includ- ing the following: The Reverend Mel- vin Dorr, How to Make Democracy Live g the Reverend Ferdinand Loungway, Procrastination, Or Liv- ing from Hand to Mouth , Mrs. Mu- riel LaBarge, UHealth g Mr. Lindon Christie, Area Schools g and Mrs. Helen Wentworth, dramatic readings. The Cahesis Club has had a tea to which all the members of the club, their parents, the faculty, and the guest speakers were invited. This was done to enable the members to learn how to conduct themselves at teas and other formal gatherings of the same sort. In the future the club plans to hear some speakers out-of-town, have more speakers here, and some movies. A STUDENT LEGISLATURE Camden,High :School was repre- sented at the Student Legislature at the State House in Augusta, April 8, by the following students: Repre- sentatives, Lucille Talbot, Charles Masalin, David Crockett, and Milton Christie, Senator, Lindon Christie, Jr. The two lobbyists were Ronald Banks and Paul Christie. Having been sworn in, the student governor, Richard Jones of Rockland, gave an opening speech to the Sena- tors and Representatives followed by an address to the whole body by Fred- erick G. Payne, Governor of the State of Maine. Following that, committee hearings were held in various rooms in the Capitol until noon. After a meal in the State House cafeteria, the Senators and Represen- tatives assembled again in their re- spective chambers to discuss the vari- ous bills. ln the course of the after- noon one bill was passed and signed by the student governor. This bill concerned the establishment of a compulsory course in social hygiene in all high schools. Many other bills called forth lengthy discussion but were finally voted down. The Fourth Annual Student Legis- lature showed much improvement over the previous ones and will con- tinue to be of great interest and bene- fit to all the students who attend. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Under the supervision of Miss Carolyn Dudley, Home Economics teacher, a chapter was organized in the school year of 1947. The F.H.A. studying home-making in junior and is a national organization for girls senior high schools. There are sixty high school members in th'e F.H.A. this year. 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 in- terest in home economics. The following ofiicers were chosen to serve for the school year: Presi- dent, Grace Galanti, Vice-President, Margaret Crabtree, Secretary, Ar- lene Edgecombg Treasurer, Bebe Leonard: Historian, Nona Talbot, THE MEGUNTICOOK 29 F.

Fourteen speakers in various trades and professions in this locality gave brief talks on their par- ticular types of business. Paul Chris- tie and Robert Rowe were in charge of this project, assisted by Milton Christie and John Dority. The program was arranged so as to have two speakers for each period -one in the Main Room, the other in the Music Room. The opening ses- sion was conducted by Alexander Gillmor, then the students went to hear the first speakers of the day. First on the program were Super- intendent Weldon Russell of Rock- land, speaking on teaching, and Jim Moore of the Portland Press Herald and Len Harlow of the Bangor Daily N eros, who spoke on photography and newspaper work. During the second period Mike Di- Renzo of Rockland spoke on coaching, while Charles Dwinal spoke on law. Third period speakers were Fran- cis Hamabe speaking on art, and Dr. David Mann speaking on medicine. Army service was given a boost by Captain Silliter and Corporal Khunes CWacJ of Portland, while Millett Per- kins of Libby's Pharmacy spoke on pharmacy, in the fourth period. During the afternoon session state police work was spoken on by Ray Orcutt of Bath, Safety Man of Bat- tery D, and in the Main Room Ruth McBride of Rockland, talked on Home Economics. Sixth period speakers included Wil- liam Kelley of Achorn's Store, speak- ing on store management, while Jason Thurston of Rockland spoke on radio. The concluding talks of Career Day were given by Henry Gross of Bidde- ford, speaking of the duties of the game wardens, and Mrs. Katherine Gerrish, superintendent of the Cam- den Community Hospital, who spoke on nursing. Almost everyone seemed to agree that Career Day was of great interest to them and would be of value in helping to plan their careers for the future.

SHOWBOAT On January 26, 1950, the efforts of the senior class came forward in a show to end all shows. Written by several members of the class, Show- boat went over big to a near-capacity audience at the Opera House. The show was directed by Henry Bick- ford, Jr. He was assisted by Ruth Littlefield, who also coached the danc- ing. Gordon Bass was in charge of the lighting and Bob Davis did a good job as stage manager. There were several highlights of the evening including the Hi-Jink- sters and the Melodrama. Before the evening performance a free matinee was presented to the school children of Camden, during which lollipops were handed out by the vendors. The Bisbee Fund paid the class S65 for this performance. On March lst a repeat performance was put on in Lincolnville for the benefit of the Polio Drive. In return a supper was held in Lincolnville for the seniors. The senior class wishes to extend its appreciation to Mr. Calderwood, Miss Keating, and Miss Oliver for their assistance. As a result of the three perfor- mances the senior class realized about 55391 toward their Washington trip.

You enter his tor- ture chamber only to wait three hours before you get in a chair. You wouldn't mind waiting if there was something new to read, but the maga- zines are so old that you wonder why they weren't written on stone slabs. After getting settled in the chair, you're half strangled, with neck strips and haircutting cloths. Then you're given so many turns in the chair you can't tell the hatrack from the cuspidor. When your head stops spinning, you settle back to get some rest, but alas! The scissors the bar- ber is using are so dull you have vis- ions of a lawnmower chopping your curly'locks, Simultaneously with get- ting hair down your neck, up your nose, and in your ears, the gentleman in the blood-stained white coat shakes the haircutting cloth in your face, After parting your hair on the wrong side, he prepares for the shave. Now the shave always follows the haircut because by that time the victim flops exhausted in the chair, which has a neck rest, so the barber can cut your throat more conveniently. After sharpening the razor on a leather for ten minutes, he proceeds to shave your skin. I say skin because he usually takes a hunk of it with about ten more minutes and then re- vived with a shaving lotion so strong it makes you smell like an alcoholic. You then spend another ten minutes hunting for your coat. If you're lucky, you discover it has not been stolen, walked on, mislaid, or taken by mis- take. You then stagger out into the cold winter wind and pneumonia be- cause of the loss of your soft, curly, black hair. -David Crockett, '51 THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE As I gaze out of the barred window of my cell my eyes fall upon a beau- tiful sight. There is Old Glory blow- ing freely against the azure of the sky. I sit here thinking of the many times in our nationis history that this same sight has given strength and courage to our fighting men. It brings to my mind the picture of the men raising the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima mid shells and enemy attacks. I even remember the pictures in my history books of the many famous battles of the Civil War when they raised the Stars and Bars over the bloody battlefield. I also think of the poem, 'tBarbara Frietchie , which I learned in the eighth grade. 34 THE MEGUNTICOOK 'fShoot if you must this old gray head, But spare your country's fiag, she said. As my vision clears, the iron bars interrupt my view of Old Glory. Ironical isn't it, that my last glimpse of my country's flag should be through iron bars as I am led away to die as a traitor! --Ruth Littlefield, '50 A FAMILIAR ESSAY ANDXOR SATIRE ON FAMILIAR ESSAYS ANDfOR SATIRES Sir, Madam, or both, or any com- bination of plurals of 'either gender, tribe, clan, breed, clique, or coterie of the human race, I have written for am writingj this, primarily, to all in- tents and purposes, to bring home to you certain factors about Familiar Essays andfor Satires. My style, that is, of writing, punctuation, or gram- mar, I like to believe, is unique in the treatment of such a subject as I am about to treat and is justified only by the definition of a familiar essay. I reserve the right to break any or all laws of English Grammar as often as I wish-or not at all. I do not intend to rewrite this, believing, as I am led to believe, that, 'in a familiar essay, one writes in any way-or none at all, if he so wishes. This is the only fundamental precept in the writing of familiar essays and even this is subject to change or the 'ignominy of absolute exile from the field of action -the paper this is written on. To continue, I will upon, and with- out provocation, slash certain laws of punctuation to the bone-to their un- recognizable components. And, I might add, this base-this skeleton- had best be out of my way or I will break it down into a series of ineffec- tual dots capable of being molded in- to a more interesting, if less coherent statement of-something or other. Or, I may scatter these dots to the four corners of this sheet of paper. Again, as to writing, I shall-nay, will, for that is stronger, forget all fundamentals possible, and alter those fundamentals not so possibly removed from memory. The only con- sideration I shall show to writing is in the preservation of its minimum understandable contest-this for the benefit of the reader and! or listener QI like that double conjunction and! or -you'll see more of itl.

TREACHEROUS MOON As the small, snug cruiser left its moorings in the harbor, people living along the waterfront turned and smiled at the merry sounds coming from its decks. Shouts of laughter and gay songs told them that the Kir- stens' annual boating party for the senior class of Provincetown High was again under way. The usual route of the party was to sail through Canadian Passage and Deering Bay, and land at Point Pa- vilion. Here they danced until mid- night to the strains of a currently popular orchestra, and then set sail for home. Tonight the orchestra at the pa- vilion was to be Glenn Milleris and the boys and girls had been looking forward to the trip since they were freshmen. The full moon seemed to shine more gloriously than ever before, and as they neared the end of the beautiful passage, they could hear the orchestra playing. Soon they were at the dance and having a wonderful time. Midnight came all too soon and they piled back into the boat. They were too tired to notice that the breeze had freshened slightly and the moon had become overcast. A short while after they entered the passage, a fierce gust of wind knocked one of the chairs to the deck. Blast after blast of icy winds fol- lowed. Everyone sought shelter in the cabin as the squall raged about them. Suddenly a monstrous wave broke over the cruiser, bursting open the cabin doors and flooding the cabin. The engine sputtered and died out. The panic-stricken group rushed back on deck, but before they had a chance to get a grip on the railings or put on life preservers, they were immediately swept overboard by the angry, swirling waters. Suddenly the wind died, the clouds dispersed, and the moon shone bril- liantly again, on a small cruiser drift- ing aimlessly out of the passage. -Patricia Kelley, '50 36 THE MEGUNTICOOK ON NECKTIES Have you ever thought about neck- tie designs? Have you wondered where they came from? Let me tell you of one of the designers. We might make an imaginary visit to the abode of one of the most famous. We drive up to the gates of Belle- vue and get out. The inmates are go- ing through their usual capers. Na- poleon is wooing Josephine under one tree, and Captain Kidd is hunting his buried treasure in the backyard. The attendant directs us to the vio- lent ward, and iinally we approach the lair of our subject. Between at- tacks of complete insanity he picks up his brush and madly paints designs that ultimately become ties for other- wise respectable men. The attendant explained that his creative genius seems to be best immediately after nightmares. The next time you see a violent tie please think of its possible creator and pass on your way. -Kathleen Dority, '50 ON SMOKING Is smoking harmful? No, absolute- ly not! Through a national survey and house-to-house poll I have found that many doctors smoke. This alone should prove my point, but I shall give you more facts. Out of 500 smokers on the streets of New York, only 75 per cent suf- fered from one of the following ail- ments: shortwindedness, heart troub- le, ulcers, acute nervous condition, or falling hair. The other 25 per cent were in perfect health. I think that this alone -is 'proof positive that smok- ing is not harmful to the human body. I have talked with millions of doc- tors all over the United States and from their statements I have acquired the following facts: Approximately one-half of the people in this country between the ages of 35 and 40 are smokers. Over half of them smoke a package a day. All of them are alive. Some of them have smoked for twenty years and many are of normal size and shape. Smoking does not stunt growth once it is attained. Seventy-five million people win this country today spend from 1 to 2 per cent of their income on tobacco alone. This proves that smoking is no longer a luxury in this country, but a neces- sity. Smoking has been known to quiet nerves, ease aches and pains, drive away hunger, use up your ex- cess money, and also has many other beneficial qualities. In conclusion I would like to say that anyone who does not smoke should. Besides providing employ- ment for thousands of workers and reaping large profits for the tobacco growers, it really does wonders for you in one way or another. F. E. Boone Tobacco Expert ON LEARNING TO SKI A wild barbarian with flashing eyes and windswept hair was skimming over the slope at not much past the speed of a P-82 jet-he was coming toward me! I didn't jump quite 30 feet in the air. I couldn't jump if I wanted to. As a matter of fact, I couldn't move backward, forward or sideways. I was managing barely to stand up by leaning on two curious devices called ski poles which came with the outfit. . Later that day, I was to arrive fin- ally at the top of the ski run. Here I was presented with an insurmount- able problem. There was no more hill to surmount. I had to go down. However, with admirable deter- mination, tremendous courage, and the knowledge that night was com- ing, I clacked up to the run, and pushed off-I was skiing! There was only one thing wrong. The farther you go down a hill, the faster you go. The trees and shrub- bery at the side of the run suddenly became gray blurs. People all over the slope were scrambling to get out THE MEGUNTICOOK 37 of the way, and those that had reached safety were madly shouting 'Track ln COne or two unkind persons even shouted Runawayl D From which I surmised that I had not yet quite mastered my form. I was rapidly approaching the group of tables outside the shelter. In front of me the people watched, drinking coifee, and smiling at the world. By now I was a few feet away, coming like a bat out of Hades. My admirers were worried. Their eyes grew bigger and bigger. One or two were diving under the table. Several were cringing back in their chairs. At the last moment I acted-one tre- mendous leap! One half hour later, the birds were singing but the people were no longer smiling. I didn't make it! -Milton Christie, '51 TOMORROW I'm going to tell you a story. It's a rather strange story that my great- grandfather told my grandfather and then my father. From him I learned it. It seems that in a little town in the West, there was a young man who was very much in love with a beauti- ful young girl. She had a twin sister. The two looked very much alike. Only their mother and the young man could tell them apart. When these girls were very young, their mother went with them to an old prophet who lived far in the hills all alone. Hardly anyone dared to go to him for his prophecies czlzrays came true. One was afraid that he would tell him of some horrid thing that would happen to him and he would live in fear, waiting for it to come true. But this young mother was undaun- ted. So-to the hills she went with her two babies in her arms. When she got there, she stated her desire to him, of wanting to know just what the future would hold for her children. The old prophet was a man of few words. He merely said, One shall marry, have happiness for herself and her posterity. The oth- er shall marry, have happiness, but the third generation shall die out within the second decade. Then he would say no more. Later, when the girls turned eigh- teen, they were told of their strange visit to the sorcerer. Not being of a superstitious nature, the girls merely laughed. But deep down, they were sincerely worried. Finally Margaret and the young man mentioned previously in the story were married. Several years later, Katherine was married. All this happened about one hun- dred years ago. You may wonder why I seem concerned. I'll tell you. You see, the man whom this young girl married was my great-grandfather. I am the only child in the third gen- eration of our family. Tomorrow is my twentieth birthday! ON SHAKING HANDS Have you ever held a dead fish Perhaps not the kind that comes out of the sea-instead, the kind that comes out of a pocket. There seem to be many schools of thought on the correct way to shake that end of the right upper append- age of the human body. I emphasize -right. Many people very generous- ly offer their left. This is sometimes done through lack of social knowl- edge, but more often through lack of common sense. It is unbelievable to imagine anyone old enough to be shaking hands and not knowing right from left. However, this is often the case. The very social lady members of high society and also members of not so high, or very low society, who want to be thought of as high, usually offer you just about one-fourth of their hand. Either they want you to real- ize that you are extremely fortunate in having the honor of meeting them, and you shouldn't expect any moreg SHQ T.H E LKIEG U N T IC 0 O K or perhaps, their hand has been shak- en so many times by the hands of so many important people that they are rather doubled up. Then of course, there are those very dull people that place in your hand something that feels like a dead fish. Sometimes it is hard to know just what to do with this thing that is given to you. There is also the person that is so often pictured in cartoons, who grabs your hand and shakes it almost off. Of course, he may be so happy to see you that he cannot refrain from thisg however he probably has heard of a warm hand shake, and misunder- stands the word warm . Instead of its meaning friendly, he believes it means that he is to shake so violently that some sort of friction or electri- city will be formed and thus cause heat. There are many such characters- each with a different opinion, but most of us probably agree that a firm, friendly, brief, and considerate hand shake is the most pleasant and correct. -Karen Hein, '50 A FISH STORY I've been rather disillusioned about life in general ever since the day I caught seven trout all at once. It should have been the happiest day of my life, but oh! how I was to suffer before the blessed night finally put an end to it all. I'll never forget how I got up in the morning to find a perfect fishing day. I couldn't keep from singing as I dug for worms in the early morn- ing sun. There was a wonderful smell of fresh-mown hay in the air. The blue sky was full of puffy White clouds. I felt just great as I sauntered along the road with my fishing tackle over my shoulder. The world was a pretty wonderful place, and I was glad to be a part of it. There was no one else at the brook when I dropped my line over the bridge. I had one bite after another and kept pulling in trout. I threw back quite a few, because they were too small. Still, I had several good- sized ones. It was the most fish I had ever caught fexcept for the time I got forty hornpoutb. Bursting with pride, I hurried along the road tow- ard home. I was almost home when my pal, Georgie Howard, came rattling along in his old truck and stopped beside me. I thought that Georgie was a good fellow. He was the game war- den and knew all about hunting and fishing. Georgie grinned when he saw me, when he beautiful but his mouth fell open caught sight of my seven trout. His grin faded and he looked sort of mad. Weill Thought I could to obey the fishing rules, You know trout season closed at least three days ago, and there's a line you should be paying. I stopped dead in my tracks feel- ing as if someone had drenched me with a pail of cold water. Well, that's my story. Georgie didn't make me pay the fine, but he took my license away for a month and said I was a kid who would have to learn the rules before he could do any more fishing., Sure, I ate my trout, but they didn't trust you Leopold. have much taste somehow. The rest of the family wouldn't touch them, so I finally had to share them with Hortense, the cat. John Loungway, '53 ALL THE MODERN INCONVENIENCES My house which I intend to have built sometime in the far distant fu- ture after I'm old and decrepit is, in my estimation, ultra-modern. When I say ultra-modern, I don't mean in appearance but in convenience. The house is going to be round like a dome so that nothing can be lost in the corners. It's going to be mount- ed on a large turntable driven by elec- - THEMEGU TICOOK 32 tric motors to keep the sun out of my eyes when I sleep late in the morning. Cleaning in my house is simplified. There are built-in static electricity dirt collectors which act much like a comb after combing your hair. When the ceilings have to be cleaned, you pull a switch and the ceiling panels turn over like the blades on a vene- tian blind. Then you can go upstairs and easily clean them. This doo-dad eliminates the back-breaking method on a stepladder. Heat is to be provided by a large refrigeration unit taking the heat from the ground by a series of pipes buried below frostline. Food preparation will consist of taking the complete meals, which have been prepared before, and put- ting them into the atomic cooker. The atomic cooker thaws and heats the foods instantly. The plastic dishes in which the food is prepared, cooked, served and eaten on are discarded after the meal. I will, however, keep a 'large refrigerator full of good things to eat for midnight snacks. For these midnight snacks my bed- room is to be made convenient. It is directly over the kitchen, and my bed is on an elevator so that I can go right down to the refrigerator without get- ting out of bed. Also in my bedroom I am going to have an eight by ten television pro- jection screen. I shall be able to lie in bed and see events the world over in life size the instant they happen. My garage is to be a precision piece of machinery. When I drive up to the door, an invisible infra-red beam from my headlights will open the door while I drive in and then it will close. If I want to go right to bed when I get home, all I have to do is to press a button and a series of elevators and tracks will put my car into my bed- room. After I get out and press an- other button, the car returns to the garage. If Iim out with a girl some night and don't want to miss my favorite TV show, this arrangement serves very nicely as a drive-in theater. This concludes the preview of my house. When the construction is com- pleted and I am all moved in, you are all invited to come up to see it. -Jim McGrath, '51 FOREVER MINE I'm going to tell you a story. It's a rather pitiful story, yet it bears a moral. It all happened quite a few years ago-forty-two, to be exact. I was about seven years old then, and very, very spoiled. My parents were far from wealthy, but compared to the rest of our neighborhood, we were considered very well off. Like most spoiled children, I was selfish, As we had more money than most of the people in our block, a better home and far better standards of living than the others, I was quite naturally looked up to and catered to by the other children. The fact that I was older helped to keep me high in their estimation, too. One day a group of us children grew bored and couldn't find any- thing to do. I went to our attic and after rummaging around a while, I came upon an old wheel chair that had belonged to my grandfather. I begged my father to let me use it as a toy. He consented as he realized that I didn't have many toys and in a short time he had fixed it up to look quite attractive. Naturally, the wheel chair, being very new and different, caused a commotion. It was the envy of every child in the block. As I was the orig- inator and owner, I too was looked up to and envied. I made them push me up and down the block for hours. They all begged me to let them use it, but oh no, that wouldn't do. It was mine, and mine alone. They could push me, but as for riding--I, and I alone, rode. I can remember it as if it were yesterday. I was the Queen, and those who pushed me were my 40 THE MEGUNTICOOK slaves. They were to do my will at the sound of my voice. It was a fine set-up and I loved it. Until one day . . . I had been shouting orders to my slaves until they got tired of it and went home. I tried pushing the wheel chair, running and getting into it and coasting downhill. It worked very well for the first few times. The third time I tried it, I didn't see the bump in the road and the wheel chair hit it. It turned over and I went sailing through the air. I landed in the path of a car. I don't remember much of it except that I looked up and saw the car coming toward me. I felt a sharp 'pain shooting through my legs, and that was all. As I said before. that happened about forty-two years ago. I'm still using that wheel chair, only now it isn't a plaything, and nobody begs me to let them play with it as they did years ago. -Carole Thomas, '50 THE THIEF Now is the time! The thief had been watching this particular house for quite a while now, and it was just the right hour of day when the fam- ily had gone to the other part of the house and had left the room with the jar in it alone. Cold sweat was on his forehead as he quickly approached the door and slowly but surely turned the knob and the door opened so that he could see that the room was empty. Taking a quick glance, he could see the jar was in the same place on the cupboard. He listened a moment to hear if there was any approaching footsteps. Not hearing any, he tip- toed over to the cupboard and put his hands on the jar. At last! After all these weeks of watching and waiting he had finally reached his ambition. Now to escape with his treasure. Just this minute when he was walking out of the room, the door bell rang! How was he going to escape? Ah, the win- dow! Running over to it with a feel- ing of relief at being able to escape, he found the window was jammed tight. He thought of the next win- dow-too late! 'She was now walking through the door saying, Junior, put those cookies down and come and say hello to Grandmother. -Mary Connelly, '50 A BIRD'S EYE VIEW A OF A FOOTBALL GAME It was clouding over and the air was getting damp and chilly. I was sitting on top of a football stadium. Looking down into the stadium from my perch, I could see men, women, and children-all sizes, shapes, and ages. What a queer bunch of human beings, I thought to myself, to just sit here in the cold! Soon a group of men with red heads walked out on the field below me. Part of the crowd cheered wildly and then another group of men with blue heads walked out on the field. It all seemed mighty queer to me-red heads and blue heads-but I decided to stay a while longer to see what these crazy people were up to. I was gazing around, looking for my bird-friends when a sharp pierc- ing sound brought me back to realiza- tion. One of the men in the back of the field, with a blue head, was kick- ing an enormous brown, circular lump. And then men with the red and blue heads all started running in the same direction. Oh dear, they started pushing each other and finally they landed in a big heap. Now they are starting to do it all over again. The crowd is going mad! Will I ever be able to hear again? They just knocked that poor man down again. Another group of men came on to the field, playing queer sounding things and the men with the red and blue heads have gone. Then five men came on the field and started doing all sorts of tricks and foolish antics. Everything started all over again, the sharp, piercing noise came time THEMEGUNTICOOK 41 and time again, and the men were running in all directions. There must have been someone there by the name of Wing, because all they said was, Put 'Wing' in. So that was the limit. I decided to ily away and leave these silly people to their own affairs. -Mary Connelly, '50 THE STORYTELLER Have you ever watched how a bright and glowing candle, when held in a gust of wind, will slowly iiicker, try to gain life again, and then die? It seems a small enough compari- son, but as I think of how, in just such a way, a human life symbolizes the flickering candle, it actually frightens me. You may laugh and call me a crazy fool. But before you do, let me tell you a story from which you may then judge . . . As I begin this story, my thoughts turn back to a small, shabbily-fur- nished room on the wrong side of a large city. A man stares gloomily out of a second-story window, as the fog rolls in from the harbor and the street lights glow in the distance. Many thoughts come rushing to his mind, like so many bright-colored leaves falling from a tree in the fall, some bringing back happy memories and others that are better off remain- ing 'in the past. For several moments he stays at the window and then turns to the utter emptiness of the room. As he turns, the lights from the street fall across his face, reveal- ing a man of about fifty, with rough features and a dark complexion. He is rather cheaply dressed and his face has the growth of several weeks' beard. As if moved by some strange, supernatural force, he begins to speak and relates a story of many weird facts . . . None but the imprisoned know or realize what true loneliness can be, nor may they imagine what it can do to a person. Lonely days of solitude with only one thought-escape! Convicts may be pictured as tough, hardhearted men whose only thought is revenge. But what have I, even in comparison to them? At least they have a thin ray of hope. But I? I have none. It might be thought of as a joke by some, for in my prime no one could have asked for more. Health, wealth, culture, a place in so- ciety-all these were mine. But how soon I was to realize that all the mo- ney in the world could not unlock the heavy doors that kept me a prisoner. You may wonder how I happened to be in this state of despair, but that all belongs to the past and is better for- gotten. As he spoke, he groped in the dimly lit room and picked up a small black object, With careful aim and an air of deliberation he raised the object to his head. A shot broke through the stillness of the night and a body fell to the floor. My story is almost finished now and I imagine you are wondering what part I have in this strange tale. The man I have just told you about, was my husband. The two heavy doors he spoke of were the barriers that kept him from leading the life of an ordinary human being. My hus- band was blind. And as a candle glows and flickers and then fades into nothingness, so shall his life and death soon be forgotten and in a puff of smoke be brought to a climax. -Betty Thurston. '50 WHO DONE WHAT 7 It was a gloomy night-the kind of a night that one might expect a mur- der on the dark streets. As I walked through the fog, I glanced at a wea- ther-beaten sign which read The Middleton Hotel . It wasn't much of a place, but I had to have a place to stay. As I entered the hotel, an ob- noxious odor of stale cigarette smoke greeted me. Something told me then I would not like this weird place. However, I got my courage up and walked over to the clerk. He was a 42 THE MEGUNTICOOK tall sickly-looking person with very thick glasses. Good evening, he said. Have you a room? I asked. He replied, Yes, sir. He tapped a bell and a bellboy ap- proached. Take this man up to 202, said th'e clerk. The bellboy and I entered an eleva- tor which must have been the first one invented, for it creaked and moaned like a person suffering from arthritis. I noticed three other men in the elevator. One was a short, stout man. The other two were tall husky men. They got off at the same floor as I and as they disappeared around the corner of the hallway, I thought to myself that this was al- most like a murder mystery I had read before. I was glad to get in out of the damp night. I decided that I would take a shower and go to bed as I was very tired and cold. As I started to pre- pare for my shower, I heard a groan. At first I thought it was the elevator, as it was right beside my room. But after a short time I heard it again, but this time it sounded in the oppo- site direction from th'e elevator. How- ever, I thought no more of it. After taking my shower, I went to bed and soon fell asleep. It must have been around two o'clock in the morning when a scream made me jump a foot. I quickly got up, put on my bathrobe and slippers, and opened the door. I heard two men talking and I looked over toward the elevator and saw the same two men enter it-the same two men who had come up in the ancient elevator with me. But where was the third man? Was he the one whom I had heard scream? I remembered that before I went to bed I had heard groans. I was scared stiff! I ran to the tele- phone and rang for the clerk down- stairs. Yes? he answered. I think a man has just been mur- dered, I said. Heavens, who is this? asked the clerk. This is David Brown in room 202, I replied. I'll be right upf' said the clerk. It seemed like an hour when sud- denly I heard a knock on the door. Be- fore the clerk could say anything, I explained to him the whole story. He picked up the telephone and called the police. After they arrived in a 1949 Ford police cruiser with siren wide open, we walked toward the room which the men occupied. The door was unlocked. The clerk opened the door. There lying on the bed with a knife in his back, was the short, stout man who was in the elevator with me just about four hours ago. The po- lice officer in charge immediately called headquarters and sent out a de- scription of the two men after I had told him about them. I had to remain in the hotel with everyone else until this was cleared up. That morning about eight o'clock the telephone rang and Captain Frank Stearns of the Middleton Police Department an- swered it. It's from headquarters, he said to us. They picked up the two men about fifteen minutes ago. We went down to Police Headquarters and when we arrived Captain Stearns questioned them. They finally con- fessed after much difficulty. , What are your names? asked Captain Stearns. I'm Dave Crockett and this is Parker Laite, pleased to meet youse guys. Why did you kill Jimmy Bick- ford? asked Captain Stearns. The reply was, Because he was a Yankee fan! At that, I passed out! -Donald Laliberte, '51 IKE BROWNEY MAKES GOOD The bases were loaded and it was the last half of the ninth inning of the deciding game for the interna- tional league championship between LaBarge THEMEGUNTICOOK 43 the Baltimore Blues and the Chicago All-Stars. There was a crowd of about twenty-four thousand yelling and screaming fans. The day was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly and short shadows had be- gun to form over some parts of the ball Held. Ikey, as he was called by his team- mates, was standing on the pitcher's mound with the sweat glistening on his face. Ikey was a small-town boy, very quiet and unassuming. He moved around at a moderate speed, but he always accomplished what he started out to do, and he'd do it well. It was now a tense moment in the packed stadium. Ikey looked at his catcher for his signals. The count on the batter was already three balls and no strikes. Ikey's team, the Chicago All-Stars, was ahead by a score of one to nothing. Ikey wound up and pitched. The crowd of fans in the stadium was very quiet. All that could be heard was the slight breeze blowing, making the American flag flap gently. Then the silence was broken as the umpire roared Strr- ike. All of a sudden, the stadium was a mass of yelling fans. Ikey just walked back to the rear of the mound in his usual, slow way. Inside he felt a little relief, but he knew he still had to get two more strikes on the heavy- hitting batter. Finally, as the crowd of fans began to simmer down, Ikey started to wind up. After the ball left his hand it seemed as though it took several minutes for the sound of a bat's swishing through the air and then the lovely sound of the ball's smacking into the catcher's mitt to reach their ears. Again the stadium was in an uproar. Ikey now had only one more pitch left. His teammates shouted words of encouragement to him from their positions on the play- ing field. As Ikey walked around the mound he appeared very cool, but in- side he felt weak. Again he went through with the wind-up. The ball sailed toward the plate. The fans were silent. Then there was a great whoosh. For a split second no one said anything or moved anywhere. Then the spell broke. The stadium sounded like New York City after the war was over. The fans swarmed down onto the Held and lifted their young hero, Ikey, high on their shoulders. They yelled, screamed and tore at his uniform, because they knew that Ike Browney had made good. -Paul Christie, '52 U. S. HIST'RY BOOK No tne loves me and Ilm so sad, Popularity I've never had. Students here don't like my looks The way they do some other books. I have pictures too, and my print is plain. But they don't like me just the same. I guess maybe it is the way I look Or because I'm a U. S. Hist'ry Book. My class is just before dinner And my teacher tries to teach Of the far-off corners of the earth That explorers once did reach. They're forced to learn the presidents And all the states in lineg The important events which happened Down through the dates of time. Why?

The story, told time and again, She waited too long for her lover And her heart, it broke from pain. So let this be a lesson To the old and young alikeg Never say you'll await your true love When he's coming eight miles by bike. -Carole Thomas, '50 CLASS OF '52 Our freshman days are over, Those days were really great: But we, at last, have climbed a stepg We now as sophomores rate. From forty-eight to forty-nine, From forty-nine to fifty, Just two more years of studyingg I call that pretty nifty.

I grabbed the towg third hill my aim. But lo to me! Not a foot did gain. I hid my head and started home to sup For it's an embarrassing thing to fall going up. -Jessie Barton, '52 IN MEMORY, OF THE FRENCH CLASS WE NEVER GET TO! This is the story of three young girls Who wanted so badly to know The language of romance-je dis, Bon jour, and also il fait clxaud. Ah, French! Their minds were so eager to learn, So to French class thev went once more, But when they' arrived there-alas and alack, Sir Payson had locked the door! This sad thing went on day in and day outg It happened time and againg And so those poor girls never learned French. Who were they? Joan, Carole and Jane. -Carole Thomas, '50 A POEM COVERING ONE TYPE OF WINTER WEATHER Snow, Oh! -Jim McGrath, '5 1 A PLEA TO SHAKESPEALRE Thou Wert a great man, Shakespeare. Thy plays seemed true and realg But these same plays are causing me To make an earnest appeal. If thou hadst but known, Will, The misery brought upon us, Wouldst thou, then, have written Of Caesar's Et tu, Brutus ? Or of Hamlet and his father's ghost, Then Macbeth and Donalbain- The Merchant of Venice-Romeo? We read them, but in vain. Oh, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, why Wouldst thou Have these students deplore thee so? Thou bore no grudge against mankind And meant no harm. I surely know. This plea I make will never be So very hard to grant us. I only ask with hopeful heart That thou would disenchant us. Free our elders' hearts from believing Thv works were meant to be knovsm to all. Let us now enjoy our future And not Wait for Shakespeare's beck and call. -Pat Kelley, '50 THE MEGUNTICOOK 45 IDEAL C. H. S.

S. 46 THE MEGUNTICOOK TEA PARTY The sun was shining from the sky above, While along came gliding a beautiful dove. The dove settled down where the sun shone most And soon became a tea party host. For the four little flowers, all nestled around, Became four lovely maidens sitting on the ground. The dove was the most lovely of all, So tiny and dainty, like a little China doll. Soon the tea party was under full swing, And all around the robins would sing. Well, now the party has come to a close And all were Howers when the dove arose. -Lois Mitchell, !52 A pleasant gay smile Shone out from her face, Just the kind of a child You would like to embrace. I looked at her hat, Which was tilted just rightg Then turned with terror From a horrible sight. For there on the child, Who was fixed up so fine, Was a blue Easter bonnet Exactly like mine! -Ruth Sims 52 HAPPY, HAPPY EASTER! One gay Easter morning I strode into view, In our small country church With a new hat of blue. I was sure it was perfect: There were roses on top. I knew 'twas originalg All eyes it would stop. I had pinned it on gaily With hardly a care. As I looked in the mirror, A song filled the air. Thinking most of my' hat And how success was a cinch, I started to church, My slip hanging an inch. Finding this out too late The world seemed less brightg Then I noticed my apron. Oh, I was a sight! This was the climax, At least so I thoughtg But a run in my stocking To my attention was brought. H A run in my stocking, My slip was to-o long, My apron still on, What else could go wrong? That one thought was comfort, All was over and doneg Of all more wrong things I couldn't think of one. But then past my side Walked a sweet little girl: She was just about six, Her hair carefully curled.

They lost their former coach, Roy Young, when he moved to New York. Mr. LaBarge took over for the 1948-1949 season. There were just two lettermen from the 1947-1948 season, L. Chris- tie, Jr. and J. Keller, Jr., at the be- ginning of the 1948-1949 season. A small group came out and only four remained with the team for a full season. There were two meets and they were as follows: At Rockland, May 17- Pts. Rockland 9515 Camden 1 615 Thomaston 9 Rockland won all the events except the 440 yd. dash, which was won by Christie, Camden.

The final score was 37-42 with Ryder racking up 18 points for Cam- den and Larson 14 for Lincoln. The referees, Flanagan and Parks. . CAMDEN AT BOOTHBAY HARBOR Determined to avenge their pre- vious loss the team went to Boothbay Harbor on December 9 to down a speedy Boothbay five. It was neck and neck all the way until the last quarter when Camden pulled ahead to an 8-point lead and froze the ball. Boothbay managed five more points before the bell, but lost 38-35. High scorers for the night were Eaton and Thomas for Camden and Chellis for Boothbay. This was the first win of the season. Excellent refereeing by Parks and Parks. .

The final score was 35-31 with Thomas high man with 12 and Eaton close second with 11 points. High man for Rockland was Ware with 10. Referees, McCall and Clark. CAMDEN AT CONY On December 20, the team jour- neyed to Augusta to play Cony High School for the first time in years. They pinned Camden's ears back by beating them 64 to 37.

ALUMNI Back at Camden once more the high school boys took on the men of the town, who proved to be a little stronger than anticipated. Final score showed the high school on top, however, by a score of 47-43. High scorers for Camden High were Eaton and Ryder with 11 and 10 respective- ly. For the Alumni it was Williams with 14.

CAMDEN AT THOMASTON Camden shellacked Thomaston even more than they did the year be- fore by a score of 53 to 21. High scorers of the evening for Camden were Ryder and the sensational freshman, Dougie Green, who scored 9 points each. Feyler took the honors for the night with 10 for Thomaston. A job well done in refereeing by Flanagan and Quinn. WALDOBORO AT CAMDEN Waldoboro came to Camden with a big reputation for nearly beating Lincoln and with high hopes. The Camden five soon made their hopes look far away by beating them 63-38. High scorers of the evening were Ma- salin and O'Dell with 17 points each and Bennett with a close 13 points. Referee, Gay. LINCOLN AT CAMDEN This year as well as last year the all-important game of the season was when Lincoln came to Camden for a battle with a much-improved team. The Mustangs rolled over the mighty Lincoln five sinking shots from everywhere on the floor. It was Cam- THEMEGUNTICOOK 53 d'en's night to ride and they did. When the final horn sounded the score was 46-38. High scorer of the evening was the hook-shot specialist, Masalin, who poured in 13 points for Camden. High man for Lincoln was Russell with 11. Camden was then tied for the championship. Referees, Flanagan and Biggers. BOOTHBAY AT CAMDEN Boothbay came next and gave the boys a scare for the first three quar- ters. Did Camden beat?

Cavan- augh with 19 for Rockport was high scorer for the evening. Referee, Gay. CAMDEN VS. UNION The Camden and Union boys' bas- ketball teams volunteered to play a benefit game at Rockland for the March of Dimes.

Referees, Leonard and Biggers. THOMASTON AT CAMDEN February 10 Thomaston came to town. The home team licked them 44-32 with Green and Eaton turning in 8 points apiece for Camden. Feyler of Thomaston tried hard and sunk 13 of their 32. Colby Wood was a very good referee. CAMDEN AT WALDOBORO The heart breaker of the season was when Camden played Waldoboro and got set back into a tie with Lin- coln for the Knox-Lincoln lead after Boothbay had downed Lincoln the week before to put us ahead. O'Dell and Lee poured 25 points between them through the hoop. The highest for Camden was Masalin with 10. The final score was 40-32, Waldo- boro's favor. Quinn did the honors. CAMDEN VS. LINCOLN ACADEMY The end of the season rolled around with Camden and Lincoln tied for first place. The night of the game, both teams did a swell job. But as everyone knows, one team has to lose. Camden lost a good game to Lincoln by a 36-30 score. Sinking 15 points, Bridges of Lincoln was high for the night. Green of Camden played a hard game along with the rest of the team and had 10 for Camden. Very good refereeing was done by Flana- gan and Parks.

There was a total of thirteen games for the season's schedule as the girls began their successful season under the direction of Coach McCobb. The first string guard section, made up of capable co-captain Joyce Sylvester, Joan Salisbury, and Bebe Leonard, started work on a very effective zone defense. Sylvester took center, play- ing out near the foul line to intercept passes, while Salisbury and Leonard held the forwards down under the baskets. In the forward section co- captain Betty Thurston, Grace Galan- ti, and Carole Thomas helped rack up a large total against their oppo- nents.

Waldoboro 36 Jan. 13, '50 Camden outscored Waldoboro in their first meeting of the season by a score of fifty-eight to thirty-six.

It was an exciting game all the way through. Camden led by three points at the half but during the third quarter slipped up and lost the lead as Waldoboro took over by a matter of two points. In the last three minutes of the game, Galanti, Crabtree, and Thomas pulled off a freeze with a four-point lead. It worked exceptionally well and just before the final whistle, another bas- ket was laid up and the game ended, Camden 48-Waldoboro 42. Thomas swished the nets for 14 field goals and three foul shots. Faye Winchenbach couldn't be stopped as she racked up a total of 28 points.

The following day the scores of the ten highest averages were posted. FIELD HOCKEY About twenty-five girls participa- ted in field hockey this year and al- though there weren't enough to play interclass games, the girls had fun. They were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Boehm and Miss Townsend as coaches, Miss Oliver as supervisor, and the Merestead field to play on. Due to several mishaps they only played once a week instead of two as was planned. The girls appreciat- ed the fact that this year the school had its own equipment.

They were Frances Young, Jessie Barton, Irene Fitzsimmons, and Hel- ena Poland. Other cheerleaders al- ready on the squad were Mary Con- nelly, Nancy Brewster, and Barbara Harding. Cheering 'in their red jump- ers and white blouses, there wasn't a squad around to even compare with them. Their rhythm and coordina- tion, as well as several new cheers, proved that they put in a lot of time and practice. They did a fine job of cheering both teams through a suc- cessful season.
