EDITORIALS No MarTs Land Just south of town, our forefathers who first started this town and helped make it what it is today, are buried. This is my no man's land. We don't even think enough of them to take care of their graves. Many of them have no relatives left to look after their graves. I think it should be done by the town or the townspeople. If we mowed the lots and straightened up the stones, it would at least imply Thank You to those who made it possible for us to live here. Some club or organization could take this as a project. The work could be completed in two or three weekends. After getting the graves in good condition, the clubs here in town could take it upon themselves to keep the graves mowed. One year it could be the Lions project, the next year, the Grange; etc. By mowing this cemetary every two weeks, it would not only improve its appearance but also show respect for our fore- fathers. Remember, they are gone but should not be forgotten. Jon Whitten . Editor Value of Athletics in Public High School The value of athletics in public high schools is the co-operation of one fellow with another to reach a certain goal. In any kind of a team, one man cannot do the whole thing alone. In basketball, a man cannot bring the balldownthe floor and score continually. He has to have someone to feed so he can score. This co-operation should be applied in the classroom. Don't give the teacher a hard time, co-operate with him and he will help you. Another reason why athletics are good is that the people participating in sports are at school most of the time. Usually a person who misses two or three weeks during a year will miss only a week, because he does not want to miss practice. If he does some one will take his place on the team or beat him out of sub-position. A person participating in sports tries to get better marks than usual because he wishes to keep his rank up so he can play on the team. A subject in which he usually gets C, he might get B because he is spurred on to greater effort because of his interest in athletics. Some students do not normally take much physical exercise, but they could get plenty of this in athletics. It helps them to develop lazy muscles. It teaches students the value of good sportsmanship, teamplay, and co-operation not only in sports but also in all walks of life.

In September 1952, we the class of '56, were made welcome to Clinton High School. With Mr. Jabar as class advisor we elected Donald Fenton as president, Fiorance Braley as vice-president, Erma Duprey as secretary, and Cleo Russell as treasurer. Our representatives to the Student Council were Richard Jones and Joan Tradiff. We were initiated as full-pledged freshmen at the traditional Freshman Reception which was presented by the Sophomores. The more we study the more we discover our ignorance. Our Sophomore year, under the guidance of Mrs. Drew, was led by Cleo, Jon Whitten, Fiorance, and Lynn Brewster. Helen Dow and Richard Jones were our Student Council members. Our Freshman Reception was a novel success. We also increased our class fund by showing movies and by having socials. This year we purchased our class rings which we are still wearing with pride. Our deeds follow us and what we have been makes us what we are. Miss Chandler, class advisor, Jon as president, Stephen Gerald as vice-president, Helen Dow as secretary and Lynn as treasurer led us as we at last became upper class- men. In Student Council, our representatives were Flossie and Dick. Buy Jupiter a comedy in three acts was presented by the class of '56 under the dir- ection of Miss Woodworth. The class one act play was If Men Played Cards as Women Do . Too low they build, who build before the skies. Our Senior year, we re-elected Jon and Stevie while Flossie was elected as secretary, Loretta Buterbaugh became treasurer, and Mr. Ellis was our class advisor. Our Senior Play was Belles on Their Toes . The cast consisted of the entire class and was very successful. Lynn Brewster was selected as a semi-finalist in the General Motors National Scholor- ship Plan. During our four years many of the boys and girls were active in sports. Members of our class held an outstanding number of major officers. These are: President of Student Council Senior Class President Head Cheerleader Head Librarian Secretary of Student Council SYLLABUS Editor TIGER TALES Assistant Editor Richard Jones Jon Whitten Fiorance Braley Lynn Brewster Helen Dow Jon Whitten Fiorance Braley We hope the classes to follow us will have as many pleasant memories of high school as our class will have. To our class mates: You've worked 12 years for this honor. Make the most of it.

This idea, it seems to me, Gives wrong impressions to posterity. I guess they do not remember, That first Thanksgiving in November. Thanksgiving means to me, A chance to thank God, you see, That I live in this country, Where everyone is very free. Of course, I like the turkey too, Just as other poeple do. Francis Gorey '59 Back To The River Back to the river So solemn and still Back to the millpond And the old mill. Where memories still linger, Where my heart wants to go, Back to the river Flowing so slow. On nights when it's angry, A tempest, so mean But morning brings back The river serene. So back to the river So solemn and still , Back to the millpond And the old mill. Donna Ward '59 My W ish I wish I were a little rock A sittin' on a hill A doin' nothin' all day long, But just sittin' still. I wouldn't drink, I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't even wash. I'd sit and sit a thousand years And rest myself, by gosh! Terry Weymouth 7th Grade Drive Somebody's youngster's scampering feet Have carried him into the busy street. It's true, he's out where he shouldn't be. But his life depends upon you and me.

Varsity Basketball Coach Ellis called the Varsity to practice about November 1. There were nine on the, so called, varsity. They were: lettermen, Dick Jones, John McLellan, Gary Foss, Larry Pooler, Leroy Hunter, Lolly Gray, and Donald Barnes. The other two varsity players were, second year man, Dale Williams and first year man, Richard Beale. Later Sophomores John McKenney, Jerry Goodwin, and Tilton Hanscom started prac- ticing with the varsity. Later in the season Lolly Gray left the team and Gerald Watson began working with the squad. Danny Pratt was a faithful manager and John Hobbs was the scorekeeper. In regular season play the team had 15 victories and 3 defeats. In the regional playoffs at Farmington we played Phillips and after a slow first half we went on to win. Following the regionals we went to Lewiston for the Western Maine Tournament. Our first game was against Union which we won. Our next game was against a very good Rockport club. We also won this game. This gave us a chance to play Oxford for the Western Maine Championship. We were beaten by a great Oxford club. Although we did not win any trophies or anything to show for a great season, we know we have done our best for our coaches, our school, and our town.

Weymouth, F. Braley, L. Gordon, E. Swanson, A. King, J. Leet, D. Ward, P. Gauthier, C. Sherburne, M. Barrett, E. Stewart, D. Pratt, Manager. Flossie Joyce In November when basketball got under- way, Miss Chandler, our coach, was welcomed by twelve girls. Those pre- sented with uniforms were: F. Braley, C. Weymouth, J. Leet, A. King, E. Drew, L. Gordon, E. Swanson, C. Sherburne, E. Stewart, D. Ward, P. Gauthier, M. Barrett, and C. Bessey. Although the girls had an unsuccessful season, they displayed their best team- work and sportsmanship while on the floor. This year we will lose two players via graduation; namely Flossie and Joyce. The remaining player s are looking forward to a more successful season next year. 32 CHEERLEADERS C. Weymouth, E. Swanson, A. King, F. Draley, M. Higgins, B. Gerald, L. Gordon. Cheerleaders Fifteen girls were at tryouts last fall for membership on the Clinton Cheerleading Squad. From this group seven were chosen to represent Clinton: Florance Braley, Connie Weymouth, Antoinette King, Eleanor Swanson, Beverly Gerald, Marjorie Higgins, and Shirley Bean. Shirley Bean resigned from the team during the season and Linda Gordon became one of the black and orange squad. Many of the cheers from previous years were used along with some new ones introduced by the girls. To Miss Nutting, the squad's very able coach, much credit is due for the successful season. 33 The Story of A Tree One day in the fall of the year the sun went behind a cloud and the wind blew and blew. Finally from a tree that grew so high, a little seed came tumbling down. The wind blew it away into the forest and finally it came to rest on the earth. The leaves from other trees came down and buried it deeply in them. Through the winter the little seed slept as peacefully as could be. Then, one day the seed was awakened and found itself in the earth. It said to itself, I guess I'll grow and grow until I'm cut by the woodsman's saw. Then, the seed started to grow and grow and grow as fast as it could. It was not far out of the earth, when it came to a big rock. It took a long time to get around it. When it finally got around it, it started to grow again. It grew and grew and grew. The little tree grew through snowstorms, hailstorms, rainstorms, hurricanes and floods. Then, one day the little tree was not little anymore. It was very big. It was as big as it could get! The tree was sorry that it had grown so big. Now the woodsmen would cut it down and it would miss its friends in the forest--the rabbits, the deer, the squirrels and the birds and bees. The men came, cut it down, dragged it to the river and put it in. Then it floated to the mill and was sawed into lumber. Then it was stacked in piles outside the mill to be used for something that will help man live. Raymond Bean 7th Grade My Friends Here I am. My name is Kim, and I am a mouse. Some people found me when I was ill from eating too much and helped me to improve my health. As you see in the picture, here are two of my pals. I am still not feeling too well; so they come in every once in a while to make sure I am alright. They are the best friends I have ever had. They will come over and chat or bring me bits of cheese. Don't get me wrong. It's not that the people don't feed me, because they do. I just like in between meal snacks once in a while ! I really have a wonderful time here. I am allowed to have the run of the house as long as I don't get into mischief. When the people have company, I have to go back to my plate, and not let myself be seen. That seems silly. Maybe it seems silly because I don't understand. I really must go now and catch up on my afternoon nap. Call again soon. Eleanor Swanson '59 The Expense of A College Education I realize that a college education is very expensive especially when the student is not able to reduce his expenses by working, but I think it is well worth it. If you have a college degree, jobs are much easier to obtain and are much more inter- esting to the individual. Not only are you qualified for a specific career such as teaching, engineering, or geology, but also you are able to hold an intelligent conversation with almost anyone because of the broad education you have obtained. Besides being trained for a specific job, you have a much larger variety of interest. The friends you make in college will be great friends for the rest of your life. You cannot help from learning how to get along with people outside your own family and how to get along better in life. A college education is something that can help make life much more interesting and it cannot be taken from you. I think people should be grateful to those who make it possible for them to obtain a college education. Stevie Gerald '56 Friendship Friendship is really one thing that each and everyone of us needs. In times of joy, they are there to be joyous with us. In times of grief, someone is there to share you grief with. Without friends, this world would certainly be a joyless place, you would have no one to turn to for help when help is needed. In selecting your friends, select ones who will be true friends, not just fair weather friends. Friends that are not true friends are almost worse than no friends at all, be- cause you cannot depend on them being there when you need them. A true friend will share your troubles with you, and will not leave you when you need help. An example, in a small way, of a fair weather friend is when you have a car to use, they go every- where with you, but when your car is not available, they will not bother with you, and let you walk while they ride with someone else. True, that is only a small thing, but what if you were working everyday, and easily paying all your bills, but one day you had to stop working and would not be able to work for three or four months, would your friend turn on you and leave you to your own hard luck, or would he turn toward you and maybe lend you what you need? It is certainly true A Friend in Need, is a Friend Indeed ! Remember, a fair weather friend is really not a friend at all, just hanging around to get any benefits you can give him, not to be ready to give you any. 35 Jon Whitten '56 NAME Class of 1952 Verna Beale Jean Clukey Ronald Cogswell Margaret Dangler Clifford Dixon Caroline Gerald Diana Goodwin (nee Grant) Barbara McGowan Ercell Moore Patricia Nelson Mary Noel Roland Poulin Martha Reynolds Robert Steeves Sally McKenney (nee Steeves) Barbara Oliver (nee Barnes) Class of 1953 Frank Besse Carroll Bowie Carol Adams (nee Cullen) Charlotte Dow Marilyn Wishart (nee Hews) Thresa Nelson (nee Jenness) Robert Jones Robert McGowan Margaret Noel Catherine Constable (nee Rand) Walter Scott Gene Sterns Caroline Steeves Shirley Stephens Joyce Tardiff Carleton Walker Class of 1954 Alvin Buterbaugh Garald Harrison William King Robert Lincoln Phyllis Nelson Alberta Sprague Fredrick Steeves Jane Stephens Cynthia Wishart Class of 1955 Merl Clark Peggy Dixon Patricia Harrison (nee Foster) Charlene Green Grover Hews Richard King Paul Lawrance Raymond Lombard Roger McAllister Judith Scott (nee McKenney) William McLellan Donna Nelson (nee Miller) Rodney Nelson Sandra Woods (nee Witham) ALUMNI ADDRESS Clinton, Maine Clinton, Maine California Troy, New York Clinton, Maine Orono, Maine Clinton, Maine Albion, Maine Benton, Maine Orono, Maine Lewiston, Maine Arizona Boston, Massachusetts Clinton, Maine Waterville, Maine Orono, Maine Bainbridge, Maryland Clinton, Maine Victoria, N.
