CHS seemed huge to all of us, and, of course, the upperclass- men marveled at the way the little green freshmen lost their way. We would never act that way when we were seniors, no sir! Freshman reception .lasted two days. The seniors enjoyed this im- mensely, but for us it was an unfor- gettable ordeal. However, we lived through this torture and soon felt quite at home. Our class officers for that year were president, Lawrence Nash, vice president, Ronald Leadbetterg secre- tary, Linda Marshall, and treasurer, Edward Thomas. They did an excel- lent job getting us started in high school. During the first week of our sopho- more year, we watched the freshmen going through the same procedures we had gone through the year before. This amused us greatly. Although we were still a long way from being sen- iors, we began to realize that there was a great deal to do the next two years in preparation for our final year. We had a dance at the YMCA and the many committees in our class worked very hard. We also ordered our class rings. This year our classmates began to enter into many of the school activi- ties. Norman Davis, Donald Barter, Lawrence Nash, Robert Dean, Robert Cain, Cheryl Reynolds, and Sheila Billings made the band, Richard Leonard the baseball team, James SENIURS Dinsmore and Richard Leonard the varsity basketball team, Joan Arau, Luella Crockett and Joyce Harvey the softball team, Sally Crockett and Cheryl Reynolds cheerleadingg Linda Marshall, Joan Arau, Joyce Harvey, and Luella Crockett the girls' basket- ball team. During the first semester of the junior year, our class sponsored the Harvest Ball and added two new members to the Student Council: Jean Wilbur and Edward Thomas. Helen Mank was our candidate for the Win- ter Carnival crown and was chosen Queen. 4 David Jackson was chairman of the Junior Prom. We were very proud of the way David worked with everyone and the beautiful job he did decorat- ing the gym to make the prom a great success. The senior year came upon us very quickly. The other three years seem- ed to have passed like a cloud. We started the year by showing our authority and superiority to the low- ly freshmen. Thus, we initiated them into high school. The Senior Shenan- igans of '56 was presented at the Opera House and was a great success. Next came the Christmas Ball, and again David Jackson assisted with the decorating ideas. April 14th, the sen- iors left for Washington. For many this was a first look at New York and Washington, but it was a wonderful time for everyone. Now it's our turn to graduate. Then, we will all be turning in differ- ent directions, trying to find our place in the world, but never forgetting our memory-packed four years at CHS. 4 THE MEGUNTICOOK SENIOR AVERAGES KOver 85705 Roger Plaisted 92.277 Patricia Adams 91.666 Sally Crockett 91.388 Helen Mank 90.944 Charles Heald 90.238 Edward Thomas 90.222 Dawn Pierce 90.166 Cheryl Reynolds 90.150 Patricia Waye 90.105 Robert Dean 89.217 Ann Sprowl 88.733 Robert Cain 88.000 Patricia Holbrook 87.111 Carl Whitehouse 87.000 Norman Davis 86.947 Willis Bither 86.727 Jean Wilbur 86.300 Elaine Lord 85.684 Luella Crockett 85.631 Arthur Sprowl 85.411 GRADUATION PARTS Valedictory Roger Plaisted Salutatory Patricia Adams Address to the Undergraduates Ronald Leadbetter Class History David Jackson Class Prophecy Linda Marshall Carl Whitehouse Class Will James Monroe Presentation of Gifts Mary Raynes David Hopkins Oration Ruth Crockett WASHINGTON TRIP At 6:30 a.m. Saturday, April 14, the CHS senior troopers, 37 heads showing, were swept away in num- ber 811 Trailways bus, carrying with them three innocent chaperones-Mr. and Mrs. Willis Monroe and Mrs. Al- wilda Norwood-and led by guide, planner, and head chaperone, Mr. Roger Calderwood. After about eleven hours traveling, we arrived at Hotel Bristol in New York City. That night, which was a free evening, the seniors and chaperones. toured the great city. Sunday morning we left for the Burlington Hotel in Washington. En route, we stopped at Independence Hall and Valley Forge. Sunday even- ing we toured Washington by bus, visiting the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, the Archives Building, and the National Gallery of Art. Monday we visited the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and the Washington Monument fwhich is higher than it looksb. At 9:30 a.m. we had a choice of visiting the Smith- sonian Institute, the Army Medical Museum, or the Federal Bureau of Investigation. After eating at the Government Cafeteria, we left by bus for a tour of Mount Vernon. From there we journeyed to the Arlington National Cemetery to witness the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We then visited the beautiful Amphitheatre and saw the mast of the battleship Maine. On our return to Washing- ton, we saw the Washington National Masonic Memorial and the Iwo Jima Memorial. As the evening was free, most of us went swimming in the Ambassador pool. Tuesday morning we revisited the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials for pictures, toured the beautiful Pan American Union Building, and finally joined the visitors' line for a tour of the White House. Next on the list was the National Zoological Park. After a tour of the park, we continued on to the Skyline Caverns, which are over 7,000,000 years old and extend more than 18 miles into the ground. We returned to the hotel about 6:00 p.m., and, after a quick change, left by bus for the SS Mount Vernon and a moon- light cruise down the Potomac. The boat stopped about an hour at Mar- shall Hall Amusement Park, where everyone had a grand time. Wednesday morning we toured the Capitol Building and visited with Sen- ator Margaret Chase Smith in her office. At 12:15 p.m. we began our journey to Annapolis. Although we had several showers, it cleared long enough for the dress parade to take I I WASHINGTON TRIP FENCE Law nard, 60 Duley, Richard L H1 Willia Bither, S wl, Willi Spro Laite, Arthur Dean, Robert Cain, Keryn Ronald Leaflbette r, Robert Thomas, row : Edward nt Fm Sally Crockett, Ann Sprowl, Joyce Harvey, Raynes. ary M Cheryl Reynolds kins, Second row: Mary Per ert VVilliams. ob Q1 inn, R Daniel Pendlewn, R1 bert ardson, ch Ri P-3 N P1 3 E11 0 C1 Z P-E I-I CJ O O Fi avid Hopkins, D Heald, David Monroe.

As Wednesday evening was free, some went to the ball game be- tween the Yankees and the Senators, others went shopping, and still others packed for the long journey back to New York in the morning. Thursday, on our return to New York, we visited Gettysburg and the famous Electric Map, which is used to relate the famous battle of Gettys- burg. After hearing the lecture of the battle, we boarded the bus and toured the grounds and saw the Ei- senhower farm in the distance. We arrived at the Bristol Hotel in New York early that evening. Two gen- tlemen of the party celebrated birth- days this eveningg the rest either helped with the birthday celebrating, went to the television show, Down You Go, or toured the city. Friday morning we visited the Statue of Liberty via subway and boat. We ate a light lunch on Bedloe's Island, then returned to the city and the Radio City Music Hall. There we saw part of the movie, Serenade, and the stage show, featuring the Rockettes in their Easter Pageant. After the stage show, we crossed the street to the NBC studios where we saw many of the techniques used in producing a radio or TV show. After the tour the afternoon was free. This time was used for shopping and sight- seeing. Friday evening we all attend- ed the third edition of Cinerama call- ed The Seven Wonders of the W orld. At 7:30 Saturday morning, the remnants of thirty-seven tired and weary seniors dragged themselves to the bus and left New York for the long ride home, arriving about 8:15 p.m. What a tired lot! But as we look back on the fun and thrills, we can only wish that everyone who is lucky enough to take this trip in following years will have as great a time as we experienced. CLASS POEM This is what happened to us, The nineteen fifty-six classy Though, now, we're all on our own, We can always share our past. We find our class president, Ronny, Hasn't settled down yet, He's now mayor of Lincolnville, He'll get hooked soon, I bet! Linda and Elaine became nurses, They got their R.N.'s, we found, But instead of 'talking care of their patients, They're busy chasing doctors around! Dick L. and Butch haven't parted yet, Although each has a family of threeg They finally married cute little twins, That makes them relatives, you see! Jean graduated from college, And her other wish also came true, She and the Mr. settled down with two kids. Well, Jean, best of luck to you! Roger, Bob D., Charlie, Eddie, Norman, and Bob C. Graduated from the University of Maine, They're very proud of their classmate, Bob Dean, Bein' the world's slowest person brought him fame! Gloria, Pat W., Dawn, and Pat H. were sec- retaries, And many a handsome boss they had, But they finally married millionaires, I don't think thaJt's doing too bad! David H. just roams the world around, And does nothing all the time, He tried to be another millionaire, But ended up without a dime! Sally and Keryn have a TV program, It's called Sweethearts from Camden High , Even though they're nort married yet, When you see one, the o-ther's nearby! Joyce and Joan are always traveling, They're going 'round the world again. Do you suppose the sights interest them, Or is it just the men? Carl W. is now famous for his cookin', He's taken over Agnes Gibbs' show, It really doesn't matter what he cooks, Because he thrills the ladies so! In a few years Cheryl became a secretary, Then she and Frank settled down, But she soon quit her secretarial job, She was busy chasing Frank, Jr., around! Mary Raynes is now a teacher, In dear old Camden High, She has proved to be an efficient one, And Danny, of course, is nigh! Jim M. now owns a new Lincoln, He always said that was the best: They say he drives in the middle, And never leaves room for the rest! Pat A. graduated from Colby, And did biological work for a spellg But then a handsome biologist appeared, And in love with him she fell! Donny and Ruth have their own farm Not far from Megunticook Lake, They're the happiest folks around, What a wonderful couple they make! Sheila's another secretary from our class, And now is in her prime, She married a rich man from Texas And travels all the time! Jim Dinsmore became a state trocaper, And his ambition also came trueg He married another classmate, Helen, And they have two children, too! Ann became a successful teacher, She now heads the school in Hope, Artie did become a millionaire, He invented the Non-Skid soap! Bill M. and Carl L. are in the Air Force, They fly planes night and dayg And with those snappy blue uniforms, They have trouble just keeping the girls away! Mary Perkins graduated from college, She was one of the best students, by farg By the way, in case you're interested, She finally learned to drive a car! Since Lawrence got his new car, He travels far and fastg We heard the jeep did fall apart, Let's hope this one will last! Dot Dyer is now a beautician, And is as happy as can beg Even though she isn't married yet, She will be, one day, you'll see!

There are forty-six members now, ten more than last year. On October 28, at the Opera House, the senior members of the band pre- sented a stage instrumental ensemble for the Senior Show. The underclass- men played in the pit for the even- ing's performance. An ensemble was also provided for the play directed by Mr. Sherman. A very excellent concert was given at an evening program during Nation- al Education Week. The band played at all home basket- ball games, spurring on a successful season. It also played for several as- semblies. The band was invited to be guests of the Camden Commandery for the annual Easter Breakfast followed by the church service at the Congrega- tional Church and parade, on April 1. Rockport High invited the Camden Band to present a concert during the annual Seaside Wonderland Carnival. On May 14 the Camden Band parti- cipated in the New England Music Audition Festival at the University of Maine. The band played for the annual May Day Music Program, the only spring concert. The members of the band coming from the Baptist Church presented a musical ensemble for the Men's Fel- lowship meeting, at the Baptist Church. The activities of the Camden Band came to a close with the Memorial Day Parade in Camden and Lincoln- ville and Commencement Week events for which the ensemble played. LITT E I K A MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT Two years ago when I was a sopho- more, I was caught in a very embar- rassing spot. As almost everyone knows by now, I am very partial to the opposite sex. It just so happened that I became partial to two too many of the oppo- site sex. I found myself courting three females, whose names I do not wish to disclose. I started out all right with one, but then while I was at a dance one Saturday evening, I danced myself into another girl friend. She, as the other girl did, asked me to go steady with her. Nat- urally I couldn't resist the tempta- tion to say Yes, so I did. I left the dance with all intentions of breaking up with the first girl to go steady with the second. When I saw girl number one Sunday morning, I didn't have the heart to tell her about girl number two. I just kept stringing her along. At the dance I had told girl num- ber two that I would break off with girl number one the next day. Sunday afternoon, when I called girl number two on the phone, I told her that I hadn't seen girl number one yet. Sunday evening after choir rehear- sal I walked one of the girls home. On the way home I asked her to go steady. Naturally she said, Yes. After leaving her at home, I walked home whistling as loud as I could, not feeling the least bit unhappy. When Monday afternoon rolled around, I wished that I had never seen the light of day. I was just about to open the door of girl number two's house when I saw through the win- dow three girls standing with their hands on their hips just waiting for me to come through that door. I start- ed to turn to run away, but it was too late. The door swung open, and as it did, it hit me and knocked me flat on my back. Then came the worst part of all. The three girls were just about ready to string me up, when one girl got the idea that I wasn't worth it, so she just threw snow in my face. The other girl had the bright idea of having me choose the one I really did like best. Being of sound mind, even if my body wasn't at that particular time, I picked the one that I'm stuck with now, and I am not a bit sorry that I did. I'm telling you that I shall never do that again! Those other two girls could really swing a mean right. The embarrassing part came when I had to explain the situation at hand to my girl. Keryn Laite '56 THE LITTLE PEST There is no one that I can think of at the present who can get into trouble as well as my little brother. Although he spends a great deal of time in school, like all of us, he seems to have no difficulty in finding time for mischief. Hardly a day goes by without his finding more than his share of trouble. Often neighbors believe this little fellow to be a shy and quiet brown- eyed child, but this, indeed, is a great mistake. If friends only knew the pleasure he gets from being told he is cute, they would be much more careful of the remarks they make about him. Since there seems to be nothing he likes better than showing- off in front of guests, he is kept con- tent, to our dismay, with many such opportunities. Often I return home after a long, hard day at school to find him waiting at the edge of the lawn. I try to tell him of the home-work that I must complete before the next day, but he THE MEGUNTICOOK 35 seems to think a ride on my back or a game of guns is more important. Repeatedly I drive him from my room and complain about his behav- ior, but I am always answered with the same reply-that most of the mischief he finds, he learned from me. Robert Dean '56 THE LAST BITE OF THE DAY It was getting dark. Bob and I had six fish apiece, but we weren't doing badly considering we had been fish- ing for only a short while. My name is Ray Drake. I'm supposed to be the best fisherman around these parts, but by now I was beginning to won- der. Here was this tenderfoot, from the heart of New York City, catching as many fish as I was. There was just one way I could prove myself the better fisherman. That was simple: just catch another fish before it was time to leave for home. Another ten minutes went by, but still no strikes. Looking towards the horizon, I caught a final glimpse of the reddish- purple sun sliding into its evergreen blanket on a distant mountain. I began to worry, as there was very little time left to fish. The tie between Bob and me must be broken. As I looked out over the golden lake, colored by the setting sun, mist rose, like smoke from a smoldering fire. A school of small fish, slowly making their way along the surface of the lake, gave me the idea. Why not try using a streamer fiy that resembled those minnows? I was positive it would bring results. I threw the fly into the water and began retrieving itkslowly, trying to make it look life- 1 e. As I looked towards Bob, who was still trying to catch a fish with worms, my heart climbed into my throat. Was that a bite or only my imagination? My reputation as the best fisherman in town was at stake. My question was answered as Bob pulled viciously at his line. When the fish swirled, I could see that it was a large salmon. After ten minutes of using every in- stinctive trick he knew, the salmon gave up, and Bob landed him. On the way home Bob broke the silence by asking, Since when has there been a salmon in that lake ? i I never knew there were any in there, I replied. We learn something new every day, remarked Bob. We certainly do, I thought to myself. From now on I'm the second best fisherman in this town. Dale Fugel '57 WHEN FATHERS SEE REPORT CARDS A report card can cause more trouble than almost any other thing of its size. Mothers usually don't have too much to say, but fathers will even put down the newspaper to take the necessary steps toward procuring better grades for their sons next quarter. Girls, on the other hand, don't have too much trouble with fathers when report cards come homey they're just naturally brighter, I guess. Girls usually draw a very light sentence- a mild talking to. With boys it's a different story. Boys just naturally dislike school, some hate it. Most boys get a mild talking to when their grades get bad. A few get an invitation to the wood- shed, but as woodsheds are slowly becoming a thing of the past, this sentence is becoming relatively un- common. The trend today is up to bed with no supper. There are a number of other penal- ties in use nowadays. To begin with, the family car usually sits in the driveway for a couple of weeks, some- times the weekly allowance is cut-I don't get one anyway, so I don't'sufl'er any there-and another time plenty of work may be piled on. And so it goesg different fathers have different methods of punishment for different 36 THE MEGUNTICOO sons. After considering it for a little while, I think most will agree that for such a little folded piece of paper a report card can cause a lot of trouble. Bill Bither '56 CONFESSIONS OF A MILLINER As I walked down the street that spring morning, I wondered what had happened during the three years that I'd been away. The buildings brought back memories. There was the corner drugstore, where we used to gather after school. There was the bank in which I'd saved enough money for my business hundreds of miles away. And farther along was the millinery shop, Where many bits of news had been told throughout the years. The fastest way to catch up on current events in my old home town, I decided, was to visit the milliner. He was a kind-hearted man who would never repeat a word of gossip if he thought it might harm a person. Even so, there was a twinkle in his eyes, and he was always ready with a humorous tale or some timely news. I entered the shop that day to hear a commotion. I peered around a pile of hat boxes and found two women arguing about one particular hat. It would go so nicely with the new suit I bought for my trip to St. Louis. I'm going to visit my mother-in-law, a red-haired woman was saying. But, Mrs. Ames, countered a sparkling blonde, since it is the only hat in the shop which goes perfectly with my type of face and my hair style, I really think it should be mine. It would be perfect with my going- away ensemble, and you know a girl must look her very best on her wed- ding day. I've hunted everywhere in town for the perfect hat. There's no- where else to look, and the wedding is just two days from now. My plane leaves tonight, snapped Mrs. Ames, as her face began turning the color of her hair. No other hat will do. K I tore my gaze from the women to look at the proprietor of the store. While the women went on arguing, he winked at me and marched quietly to the back of the shop. He returned with a boxg and holding the contents out to the women who were shouting louder and louder, he calmly said, I happened to find another hat the same color and style as the one you've been discussing. Both women stared at the second hat and then at each other. It was Mrs. Ames, with face now crimson, who snorted, I wouldn't wear a hat like hers anyway. My sentiments are the same, re- plied the bride-to-be haughtily. Picking up their handbags, they stormed from the shop. The milliner sighed. I lose a lot of sales by pre- tending to have just one hat of a style when two women want it. Then that same familiar twinkle appeared, and he added, Getting two women arguing certainly is a great way to learn the news around town. Helen Mank '56 FROM MY WINDOW I love to gaze from my small paned windows, high in the loft above the eaves. It is from here that I see the world about me as it really is-in beauty and in form. The soft and gentle evening breezes are soothing to the weary soul and all but make me want to sing the chorus of the swallow's song, so sweet upon the summer air. In stately form I see the bounteous fields of grain and wheat, and apple orchards splashed with spots of red. I like to watch the wait- ing clouds pass by the moon at night and paint the hills a silver-grey and see the ribboned highway wind silent- ly about the mountain's base. From here I see God stretch forth His hand and take the moon away, that the darkened shadows may sweep the dawn for a new day. David Jackson '56 C.H.S. TV PROGRAMS The Open Door-C.H.S.
