Certainly, that first day of high school was worse than any we have had since then. But after the dust had settled, we took our lowly places, proceeded to study, and never forgot to pay due respect to all seniors. The freshman year was a quiet one, with occasional dances and the “CHS News” capturing most of our attention, outside of studying. Our class officers for this year were President: Thelma Wooster, Vice-President: Peter Hart. Secretary: Betsy Crockett, and Treasur- er: Raymond Dr ink water. When school began the next fall, we were very much at home and felt a silent sympathy for the “poor freshmen”. Class officers were President: Edward Ball, Vice-President: John Moeling, Secre- tary: Betsy Crockett, and Treasurer: Rodney Megquier. A “Spring Hop” was held at the Snow Bowl on April 11, 1958. At the end of our sophomore year we be- gan planning a project to be carried through to our junior year at CHS. The project was a doll to be outfitted and raf- fled off, with each class member selling tickets. Our third year at Camden High was a very eventful one. Class officers elected for the year were President: Sharon Thornall, Vice-President: Thelma Woost- er, Secretary: Bernice Gamage, and Treasurer: Brenda Hart. The Harvest Ball was held in October and, for the first time, a new idea was used: to have records and informal dress. Six girls and four boys took part in the Junior Speaking Exhibition at the Congregational Parish House on March 30, 1959. Mary Jane Hammill and Harvey Kelley were chosen to participate in the Knox-Lincoln League Speaking Contest. Other projects included food sales, and a car wash. The Junior Prom was held on May 1, with a Japanese theme. The Maine Bears pro- vided the music and everyone had a won- derful time. The last duty of the class was to decorate the stage for graduation. There were also the marching practices under the direction of Mr. Goodridge. Our class colors are light blue and royal blue. At last the day arrived when we en- tered the doors of CHS as mighty seniors. But seniors must study too, so things soon settled down to the regular routine. Nevertheless, studying did not interfere in our fun and class work. The first big project we worked on was the Senior Show, which was held October 23, at the Opera House. This show brought out a lot of the hidden talent in the class and was a tremendous success. Basketball concessions followed the Senior Show and most of the class helped with this under- taking. Forty-five seniors and four chap- erones left Bangor on April 15, for Wash- ington, D. C. A week later we all returned, a more informed and tired group than when we left the week before. When senior averages were announced, Mary Jane Hammill was named valedic- torian, and Nancy Rankin was named sa- lutatoriam The “Megunticook” Board was named and those chosen have been scurrying around, gathering material for the yearbook. After we receive our diplomas and leave Camden High School to take our places in the world, we will look back on these four years as the best years of our lives. THE MEGUNTICOOK 5 THE WASHINGTON TRIP April 15-23, 1960 Our trip to New York was a long one, at that; Twelve hours journey, plus the back tire went flat! At four in the A. M. breakfast we ate, Got to the hotel at five—this was our fate: No rooms did we get, nor sleep, nor rest, But our tours that day were the very best! The Easter Pageant and the tour of the town Were really great to see, And later on that evening We went to NBC. Sunday we went to Valley Forge and Independence Hall; In Pa. we saw the Amish people, wagons, beards, and all! At York Hotel we serenaded with our old “Stein Song.” On Monday morning at 7 A. M. we started to drive along. That day we had a little rain, But at Gettysburg we lived again The Civil War and all its fights And also saw some other sights. At the Don Dee we stayed that night; We saw Endless Caverns, a beautiful sight! Tuesday we were up at five; We drove to Washington via Skyline Drive. Our first tour was the FBI Then Arlington, where our soldiers lie. That night down the Potomac we went, At Marshall Park lots of money we spent. That night was lots and lots of fun; We finally got to sleep at one! Wednesday—hubba, hubba! Our pictures were took! Then into the Capitol for a closer look! At Senator Smith’s we were met with a smile, She gave a nice speech that lasted a while. At Annapolis dress parade 3,000 boys appear, All the girls wish they could take one home For a souvenir! Monuments, libraries, and theaters—what fun! But when we returned we were minus one! Thursday was a busy day; We saw the Mint and the zoo. That P. M. we went our separate ways After visiting the Smithsonian, too! Fridav we left with much regret The places and friends that we had met. We hit New York and were off with a dash; With eight hours spare time we made quite a splash! We left New York for Camden, Maine, Onlv to have tire trouble again. At 10 A. M. we arrived home to hit the sack, Though we wished tomorrow we could go right back! 6 THE MEGUNTICOOK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF: Teddy didn't shave his goatee? Anita were six feet tall?

MAGAZINE DRIVE The Curtis Campaign, with total sales of S1869.47 and the Camden High School profit of $664.80, was very successful this year. The juniors earned the $50 prize award- ed for the highest dollar collection per student. Carolyn Johnson was high sales- man with total sales of $103.28. She re- ceived a Curtis $100 Club pin. The thirteen salesmen who brought in more than $35 each attended the Ice Ca pades in Bangor. They were accom- panied by the managers and several facul- ty members. Each person who sold at least one sub- scription received free ice cream, a treat which the school earned by showing a higher average dollar collection per pupil than Boothbay High School. Nancy Rankin was general manager with Wanda Callahan and Ralph Stone as assistants. Miss Keating served as faculty manager. Room captains were as follows: Juniors: Karen Armstrong and Richard Moody; Sophomores: Rebec- ca Waterman, Melvin Dorr, and Roscoe McFarland; Freshmen: Nancy Burkett, Wayne Hansen, and Ronald Fairbrother. 24 THE MEGUNTICOOK F.

A. r-embers, Brenda Hart, State Second Vice-President, and Bernice Gamage, District D Chairman, served on the State Council this year. Accompanied by Mrs. Hardy, the faculty advisor, thev attended the Fall Council meeting in Old Orchard. The girls helped to formulate the 1959-1960 State F. H. A. program and to plan the district conventions. In November the District D Convention held in Belfast had the theme, “Blueprint for Action.” Bernice Gamage served as chairman of the meeting. Members of the Camden chapter helped her plan and carry out the program. An informal installation was held in the Home Economics room on December 3 1959.

THE MEGUNTICOOK 25 SENIOR SHOW SNAPS SENIOR SHOW On October 23rd the annual Senior Show was presented by the class of 1960. The show was under the direction of Mr. Hammond and Mr. Lunn of the facul- ty, and Sharon Thornall of the Senior Class. Alice Roper acted as mistress of ceremonies for the evening. The show consisted of many varied and interesting segments. Among the high- lights of the show were several musical numbers which included dance routines, instrumentals, vocal solos, and country style music. Comedy acts included the “Jack Parr Show” and the “Domineering Wife.” At the opening and closing of the show the entire class joined in their version of “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” The many well-performed routines and skits were enjoyed by all who attended. Later in the year several of the acts were repeated in the “Camden Follies. ’ SCIENCE CLUB New officers elected for 1959-1960 were as follows: President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer Warren Prince Robert Steel Katherine York Elaine Alley The faculty advisor was Mr. Vaughan. The membership of the club was twenty- four. Throughout the year the Science Club undertook several activities. In addition to the interesting films shown during Ac- tivity periods, the club sponsored a public showing of feature-length color films dur- ing Christmas vacation. For the benefit of the present and fu- ture Science Clubs, a club constitution was ratified early in the year. Science demonstrations were presented by the members of the club and installed as an important part of the regular meetings. Again this year the annual Night of Science, held at the school March 3, 1960, was sponsored by the club. Several members participated in hosting the even- ing. The Science Club’s Botanical Study Area located behind the school building, is in its second year of progress and is the club’s greatest long-range project. The area has received much community sup- port. It is expected that twelve new state trees will be added to the garden in the spring, making a total of twenty-three va- rieties of trees representing thirty-one states. Several more improvements and additions were planned for the area. The Camden High School Science Club is affiliated with the national organiza- tion, The Science Clubs of America. SCIENCE NIGHT The Eighth Annual Science Night was sponsored this year by the high school Science Club. Only Mr. Vaughan’s Bio- logy II class participated.

On October 23, an ensemble composed r.f underclassmen played at the Senior Show. The week previous to Christmas vaca- tion was high-lighted by a special pageant consisting of carols sung by the chorus and played by the band. The music gave -=n impressive background to the Christ- mas Story, read by Peter Hart. Joan Kacic, Blair Lamont, Joseph Nuccio, and Brian Smith sang solos. This year, as has been the custom, the band played at the home basketball games. At half-time the majorettes showed their skill with the baton as well as their ability to coordinate their move- ments. The annual concert was held March 17th at the high school gym.

The fifth year of the Automotive Club was busy and active with a membership of seventy-two. the largest since the club was formed. Mr. Carney was the faculty advisor.

The students of the school were asked to reduce speed to five miles an hour when entering and leaving the parking lot. This, too, was obeyed, and it looks as if the aun of the club is underway! A large bump at the end of the driveway was removed at the club’s request. The bulletin board by Mrs. Sanford’s room displayed safety ar- ticles throughout the year. A hayride and dance were held in the fall as part of the social activities of the club.

Under the leadership of Coach “Dool” Dailey, the squad posted an impressive record of 4 wins, 2 losses. After a hard battle, Camden lost its opener, a heartbreaker, to Rockland. Camden 0 Camden 4 Camden 7 Camden 4 Camden 13 Camden 5 Rockland 1 Boothbay 8 Wiscasset 0 Waldoboro 1 Thomaston 3 Rockland 2 Ace Walt Drinkwater pitched the most spectacular game of the season. He tossed a no-hit, no-run game against Wiscasset for a 7-0 victory. � 3 THE MEGUNTICOOK 39 Players Bennett Morang Morong Mayer Kaler Knight Milliken Masai in Drinkwater Jones Pierson Sullivan ASEBALL STATISTICS H BA 6 0 4 8 4 1 2 6 8 2 4 1 .300 .000 235 .400 .235 1.000 .050 .333 .400 .117 .500 .250 PO 6 1 45 7 9 1 36 10 4 2 3 0 12 0 0 10 5 0 6 1 11 0 2 0 1 0 2 4 3 0 2 0 5 0 0 1 FA .947 1.000 .957 .809 .823 1.000 .954 1.000 .750 1.000 1.000 1.000 R.

The boys placed fourth in the Knox-Lincoln League meet. The lone victory of the season was over Class L Crosby. The Mustangs were also present at the State Meet in Orono, where they acquired valuable experience. 40 THE MEGUNTICOOK CROSS COUNTRY Row 1: David Garland, Carlton Spirio, Lee Maliska, Norman Carver. Row 2: Roland Cur- tis, Harold Belmain, Robert Lincoln, Jeffrey Weymouth, Harvey Kelley. CROSS COUNTRY The hard-fighting Mustangs, who experienced a heartbreaking season, failed to win a meet. Several of the contests were close, with the team plac- ing second in the Knox-Lincoln Meet and nineteenth in the State Meet at Orono. Losses to the team will be Walter Drink water, Kenneth Jones, and Harvey Kelley.

V. team tallied for a 4-9 status, an impressive record. A big boost was given by a newcomer, Dick Chase, who was the second high- scorer. The other high scorers were Whiteley, Dodge, Elmer, Shaw, and Hart. Next year’s team promises to be a strong threat to opposition, with big John Wentworth as a strong prospect. Losses will be Peter Hart, Dick Chase, John Shaw, and the able man- ager Thomas Roper. 42 THE MEGUNTICOOK VARSITY BASKETBALL Kneeling: Thomas Roper, manager, Coach Leach, Spencer Dean, manager.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS VARSITY BASKETBALL In the 1959-1960 season the high-flying Mustangs racked up a 13-7 record, with only two defeats in league competition. Under Coach Beryl Leach, the Camdenites again took the Knox-Lincoln crown. The Mustangs kicked off to a bad start, however, as they bowed to a hard-driving Thomaston Club. They went on, only to be defeated by Class L Rockland and Crosby, before becoming victorious. The team defeated Wal- doboro with a score of 59-40. The boys went on to chalk up ten victories, straight, before bowing to a talented Rockport Club by one lone point in one of the most thrilling contests of the season. Dribbling Ace, Captain Walt Drinkwater, with his timely jump shots and tremendous drives, became the biggest scoring threat in the League. His aggressiveness was much in evidence when he went on to score 35 points against Waldoboro in a 56-34 triumph. The Camden fans were pleased to see C. H. S. graduates in action once again, as the Alumni romped over a younger adversary by a score of 44-36. THE MEGUNTICOOK 43 In the regional tournaments, the fans, as well as the boys, experienced a heart-breaking loss. The Mustangs were defeated by Wiscasset by one point in sudden death overtime. Here the dreams for another chance at the well-balanced Freeport Club ended, at least for another season. Individual statistics, which aren’t as important as the teamwork pro- duced, deserve a little mention. The team will greatly miss the tremendous drives and jump shots displayed by Walt Drinkwater; the clever ball stealing of Warren Prince; the long set shots of Gary Masalin; and the added talents of Kenny Jones and Ralph Stone, who will all graduate in June.

The cover had been a shining red with gold letters, declaring the bold statement “The Family’s Newest Look,” which with the help of Uncle Ed, at the age of seven, and his strawberry jam, had altered to “The Family’s Nest.” The shining red cover had also been changed to a slightly dusty maroon, owing to the fact that the album has not been out of the closet in thirty years. When I got it out the other morning, it was still boasting a few ancient-looking pictures. There was a picture of Grandpa in his striped knee-length swimming suit, twirling his moustache at an innocent- looking girl of generous proportions, on a sunny California beach. This picture was, I suppose, snapped by Grandma dur- ing one of her “humorous” moments. She may have been jealous, but I will not say any more because Grandma bakes very snappy ginger snaps for which I have a mammoth affinity. Then there is the picture of Dad, at the age of ten, during his first violin recital. His look is one of complete anguish, al- though Grandma declares that the song was dreamy and smooth; Grandpa is pas- sionately sure that the song sounded more like a mixture of an Apache war dance and a cat fight, as far as harmony goes. Dad claims that he had never had violin lessons and that the picture was taken during Uncle Ed’s recital. Hidden away in the middle of the al- bum was a tantalizing picture with the words, “My First Date,” written in scroll work. The picture was blurred and fad- ed, but, upon careful observation, I discovered the outline of a girl’s leg and the date 1938. I took the picture to Grandpa, whose eyes opened when he saw the outline of the leg, but he con- firmed my belief that it wasn’t his! As I walked out of the door I heard him mutter, “But if she had been..........!” When I returned to the album, I found it under the scrutiny of Grandma and Mother, both of whom decided that the album was not fit for young people to look at. I didn’t see why, but their word is law. Now the album is locked in a trunk, and the only memoir that either Grandpa or I have is that mysterious picture! Sue Blaisdell ’63 STRENGTH Strength, from the Anglo-Saxon word strengon, and the Medieval English word strengoe, means the power to resist force, and to be strong. Strength is the steel girders holding up a bridge over swirling waters. It is the cement and steel of which cities are built. It is the backs of men bending to build these cities. Strength is the athlete lift- THE MEGUNTICOOK 47 ing great weights in the Olympics to win gold medals. It is men pushing them- selves to achieve greater records. Strength is the mother protecting her child in the face of danger. It is the doctor who battles against sickness and death. Strength is the armed forces pro- tecting our country. It is men giving their lives for research and science. Strength is the dam holding back floods of water to save lives and provide power. Strength is the power to resist force, to be strong. Strength is the faith in God we must have to live from day to day. Jean Litchfield ’60 Youth—AS. geoguth, geogoth; quality or state of being young. Youth is the first flower in the spring; the first bright spot that refreshes the bleak landscape. Youth is gay, alive, merry, bubbling with joy and excitement. Youth is the frenzied happiness that over- flows like a breaking wave when the home team pulls ahead to win the game. The purr of the souped-up motor, the flash of a bright smile, the flirtatious wink, the quick laugh that peals forth, ........such is youth. Youth experiences that wondrous first love, the thrill of growing up, the moods that change .... rising from the depths of despair to an ecstatic joy of just being alive. Youth has a golden vision of the future, one with no hurdles too high to leap and with a pot of gold waiting at the end of each rainbow. Finally, youth is represented at a Saturday-night dance by the click of new high heels, the smell of Old Spice and Chanel no. 5.
