GANNETT, Pub., Inc., Augusta, Maine :Application as second-claus mall matter pending Vol. VI june 20, 1919 No. 4 HOW TO ENJOY SCHOOL At the beginning of the year, many students find school a little flat, and slow after the lively and varied employments of the vacation. If they settle down to faithful work, they soon become interested in their studies, and enjoy again the familiar experience of wondering where the morning has gone 3 so swiftly have the hours flown hy. The strife for excellence is the secret of enjoying labor. A plow- man who draws his furrows straight deep and clear, has a tranquil pleas- ure in doing every one of them, and when the field is finished he surveys the rippled surface with pride and satisfaction. To pass ten hours a day in plowing badly is a most un- happy lot. To pass ten hours a day in plowing as well as plowing can be done by man is a very cheery and pleasant thing. Students have a similar happiness in their occupation-so varied is it. and so full of natural interest. But it is dull and wearisome enough un- less it is pursued with intelligent zeal and worthy ambition to excel. A teacher in olden times could tell which of his pupils enjoyed doing their sums by just glancing at their slates. A very clean slate was a good sign. Then look at the great sum in long division. Observe how clear, even and regular in form it is, and what a pleasing contrast it pre- sents between the dark blue of the slate and the pretty white figures! Above all it is right! The young mathematician has executed the task so well that he must have been un- conscious of the flight of time. Excellent work is done under- standingly. Every student who has puzzled his brains over an author or a subject that was too hard for him, knows what is meant by this. How- ever, some may have made the mis- take of beginning a difficult subject a few years too soon, or they have tried, on entering a new school, to join a class that was a little in ad- vance of them. XVhat dull and dis- couraging work it is! The usual result of such an experi- ment is that the student gives up in despair, and never masters the study. The better way is to wait, and to take the subject in hand when one or two more years of work have brought the mental faculties to the requisite de- gree of power. Then the chances are that the same book will prove a delight. Therefore, if you would enjoy your school-work next year, strive hard for excellence, and learn noth- ing by rote. Put heart and mind into all you do. If any particular study is peculiarly distasteful, do not resolve to hate it but reflect that it may just now be a little beyond your faculties and should you take it up at exactly the right time. it may be here- after your favorite study. Louise Fifield, ,2O. 8 THE CONY CUE GETTING ALONG WITH COUSIN JAMES I had heard a great deal about my IHOIIICIJS cousin blames and I must confess that I never heard very much good about him. He was very quarrelsome. He thought what he said would settle the question and he didnlt like it if any one else made known his opinion. Wlieil my spring vacation came, as my brother had the measles, it was arranged for me to go to Cousin James for a week. It certainly did not look very pleas- ant to me. Cousin James met me at the station and on the way he contradicted every thing I said and he even suubbed me when I expressed an opinion. I had never met his wife and when she same to the door, her face full of smiles, I wondered how she could seem so cheerful. That week was one of the most important parts of my going to school for I was all the time studying, trying to see her way of getting along with Cousin James. It really was wonderful the way she did it. WVhenever he said a kind thing or did something nice for some one, there would be a little look of pride come over her face. He would look surprised to find himself so much admired. It was only that she kept looking for and seeing the best things in Cousin James that she could over- look the disagreeable things. By the end of the week I never admired a person so much as his wife. The funny part of it was after I got back to school I began to try her way of getting along. I think that if you try to see anyone's good points and not so much of their weak ones you can get along with them, even Cousin James. Susie NVaugh, '19. THE LESSON THE POSTER TAUGHT It was a warm afternoon and Mary was sitting in her seat, angry because the teacher had reported her bacl-:. As she sat there she began to wish there was something else in life to do besides studying. just inside the door of the room was a large Salvation Army Poster with the words on it, A Man may be down but bets never out. This poster seemed to attract Mary's eye, she thought it funny she hadn't no- ticed it before. How lovely the woman looked holding the child. As May looked at this her thoughts drifted to the fields of France. She had had three brothers in the war and they all had returned home. All the stories they had told her of the Salvation Army came back to her now. I-Iow they gave the boys tea, coffee, doughnuts and tobacco, when they came from the trenches. I-Iow May wished she could do something for them besides giving money. Soon all the cares of school life had left her and she was far away in dreamland where she could hundreds of Salvation Army Lassies making doughnuts and coffee for the doughboys. As she was Cl1'CZl111lIlg thus, she seemed to hear a voice say, Mary, why were you so saucy to your teach- CContinued on page 123 T1-113 CONY CUE 9 Schoo 1 Directory Facility Fred J.

If the students support it, as they should, by subscribing and by contributing material, it cannot fail. but if they do not its publication must inevitably cease. Our parting message is, Boost the Cue next year. The success this year is, in a large measure due to, first: XfVi1lard Strong, who has performed in an efficient and painstaking manner the duties of business managerg second, to Edward Handy, who as assistant editor, has been an invaluable aid, third, to Theodora Barentzen who has contributed exceptionally good articles and who has. by her care in editing her department made our work easierg fourth. to Miss Strong, our faculty adviser, who has cheer- fully and accurately corrected all work and given much attention to many details which go to make a magazine successfulg fifth, to Mr. Thompson, who has made the athletic department a real report of games, and sixth, to Miss Lee who has kind- ly taken the no small task of type- writing every article for the press.

Colburn H. Leighton W, Strong F. Patterson Handy Miss Strong I2 THE CONY CUE CContinued from page SD er this morning. Dicln't you know that obedience is the most essential thing in a Salvation Army Gii-l's life. Wfhy don't you work harder. Think of the struggles your folks have had to send you here to school. VVhy don't you apologize to the teacher for being so saucy, she has feelings as well as you. A true Salvation Army Lassie does not hurt anybody's feel- ings. Mary rubbed her eyes and looked all around her to see who was talk- ing to l1er. Just then, she heard the voice of the teacher, shrill with an- ger, Mary take this front seat and go to work, I didn't report you back here to go to sleep. Then Mary realized that the voice talking to her was only in a dream. The teacher thundered on, how could she apolo- gize to such a person. At last after waiting until every- body had been dismissed Mary had a chance to speak to her. I- I'm awfully sorry I was so saucy this morning, Miss Jones. I'll try to do better from now on. Miss Jones couldn't think what had happened to Mary. It was so unlike her to say she was sorry. But Mary went on, Don't you think that is a wonderful poster fpointing to the Salvation Army pos- terj asked Mary, Miss Jones could not see why Mary brought up the question about the poster immediately after apologizing. VV hy yes, Mary it is a nice one, but haven't you noticed it before ? No, never the same as I did this afternoon. I never understood it before. VVhen you spoke to me I was dreaming I guess someone was telling me my faults. I-Iereafter l'm going to try to be a Salvation Army Lassie, and am going to try and not loose my temper so easily. I'm also going to study harder and show them at home that I appreciate what they are doing for me and I'm also going to try and show my teachers my appreciation of. them. As Mary hnished her course in High school she proved that she could do if she wanted too. Mary Dowling. TRUE PATRIOTISM Helen Freeman, the daughter of a millionaire, could not understand why her fiance had not enlisted. Flags seemed to taunt her, and remind her - Jack is a slacker! All the men she knew were going-except jack. Even her own brother had decided long ago to enlist, why was not jack one of them? But nevertheless I-Ielen was doing her bit, and went to the Red Cross rooms often. One day while she was there work- ing, another girl, shabbily dressed, came in and sat down opposite her. That part of the table was in a corner, so they were somewhat away from the crowd, and all by themselves. I-Ielen did not notice her neighbor and kept on thinking of Jack- Oh, I'm ashamed of him, she was saying to herself- and he is so brave, and so fine-and yet he is nothing but a slacker. The girl opposite had been looking at Helen, and as she noticed how sad her expression was, finally spoke, THE CONY CUE I3 asking if she had some dear friend in the service. Y-yes she answered. Then, more proudly, it,s jack, my fiance-he's going across soon. She clidn't care if it was a lie. This girl would never know and she could pre- tend it was so just this once. Then the other girl, Nel Bradford spoke, saying that she was engaged too. and that Fred had joined the 23rcl. They had a rather long conversation in re- gard to bravery, enlistment, war- work and the like. Finally each had to go, but both departed giving good wishes for the boys who were going over there! When.Nel was alone she thought, I just couldn't help but lie for Fred,-he woukl have seemed such a coward if I hadn't-but he has no patriotism, hasn't even men- tioned enlisting. Oh! if I were a boy! A few days later in different parts of the city, I-Ielen and Ncl were very much overjoyed. Both jack and Fred had enlisted but had not told them, as they did not know what the girls would think of the news. Nel and Helen became war-brides and now their husbands are coming home wonderful heroes. So they had both tolcl the truth! I. Goodrich, ,2O. THE VALUE OF QUICK THINKING The men and women who get the highest positions are usually the ones who can think quickly. There is not a position but what it may be filled more efficiently by .1 quick thinker. Let us consider several professions. The doctor when he is called on an emergency case must think quickly what he must clo. The lawyer, on whom a human life may depend must quickly decide what his answer to each point on the other side must be. VVell, you say these are professions which call for a college education. Yes, but day laborers also need this power. The man who rises to the emergency in the factory is the man who has his pay and position raised. Certainly in the Commercial VVorld, a stenographer or secretary has to think very rapidly. The ones who can are the ones who advance. Politics is perhaps the best example of the value of quick thinking. To prove this, we may cite the following incidents. A political candidate once went to a small town in Maine to make a speech. Before going, a friend warned him that a tall farmer with a long beard always came up front and tried to break up the meeting. Sure enough the man with the beard was in the front seat. This made the speaker rather nervous. In his speech he had occasion to mention the government's paying a gold dollar .for every paper dollar issued. This was our tall friend's oppor- tunity. I-Ie challenged the speaker. saying: Do you mean to say that if I wrote on a piece of paper, The gov- ernment promises to pay a gold dollar for this, that they would do it? The speaker answered: Do you mean to say that if you labelled your heard Hay that the cows would eat it ? r g A I4 TI-IE CONY CUE Another story is told of a Repub- lican who made a speech in a town it Virginia. It was the boast of this town that a Republican had never finished his speech. The speaker found the hall packed, the negroes in the gallery and the white people downstairs as is the cus- tom. All the young bloods of the town were down front already for business. He was allowed to get well started on his speech, when at a signal from the leader the crowd began to call Rats! Rats! The speaker very calmly beckoned to the negroes in the gallery, saying, Come down waiter and take the Chinamen's order. Both of these speakers, by quick thought, changed what ,might have been the means of breaking up the meeting into a humorous incident. Most of us agree that quick think- ing is a thing to be desired, but how shall this most desirable quality be obtained. Well if I were a member of Cony High School I should make an attempt at sharpening my wits by joining the Debating Society which we hope will continue in spite of the loss of some very valuable members. Think this over during the summer. Vivian Milliken, '2o. THE CURE'S SURPRISE An amusing story is told of a French priest who was preaching his Sunday sermon. He was rebuking his people for over-charging the American soldiers who were stationed in that town. Of course he gave his sermon in French and one oi the sentences which he repeated over and over was Vous demandez cinq quand vous avez droit a' un franc settlement! This was his way of telling them that they were asking Eve times what they should ask. Now one-half his congregation was his own, but the rest were American soldiers. They did not know much French but they did know the mean- ing of cinq francs so thinking that the cure expected that amount from each of them, they each put five- francs notes into the collection. The good man of course did not under- stand it at all. However, a few days later the regi- mental chaplain explained it to him and the good old man felt that he must return the money. There is no need of that, said the chaplain. I translated that sen- boys and explained the they said the lesson in more than worth that. tence to the sermon and French was Moreover, I'm sure the soldiers have saved more this week in town. than hve francs apiece Marion Dyer, '20. I say, hey, stop that mule l I havcn't got any stopper, sir. Well, head him, then. I-le's already headed, sir. Confound your impertinence, turn him. I-Ie's right side out already, sir. Speak to him, you rascal! 'fGood morning, Mr. Mule! Breccia. THLETICS Cony's faculty of making errors was the main reason for her defeat by Oak Grove. Altho out hitting their opponents and Iilill's pitching was line, they handed out too many presents to overcome. A rally in the 7th and again in the 9th netted five runs, which made the score a little more respectable, but the lead was too great. F. Hill made a difficult catch of a high Hy.

A Brief Outline of the Milliken Regiments Activities On June the twenty-fifth enlist- ments were open for the Milliken Regiment, Heavy Field Artillery. The battery which was formed at Au- gusta was Battery E. After obtaining enough men to be- come a regiment they left Augusta for Brunswick where they remained until the 211Cl Maine Regiment had sailed for France. Then they were ordered to Westfield. Wlieii reaching VVestfield the camp was filled with stumps of trees and bushes so this meant that the camp must be made fit for staying. They had no more than got Well settled when they were ordered to leave XfVestfield for Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C. After staying there a few months they were ordered to Camp VVads- worth, S. C. 'By this time they were all tired of moving around to the dif- ferent camps and were eager to get across. But this life gcontinued to drag and the boys almost gave up hopes of ever getting across. Une day, good news reached the camp, saying to pack to leave for Camp Merritt, New Jersey to sail for France. This was received by the boys with great pleasure and they soon had everything ready to leave. Wlieii they reached New Jersey they stayed there for two or three days then sailed for France. -After almost two weeks and a half they landed at St. Nazaire, France, much worn out and in want of sleep, as they had not had any for four days. They stayed at St. Nazaire for a few weeks to rest, then they were rushed up to the front to go in front of the Army with the engineers to cover up shell holes and to cut barb-wires. After a while at the front they were billeted in back of the line for a rest, but were expecting to go back to the front Nov. 13, but the signing of the armistice on Nov. 11, pre- vented this. After the armistice was signed they were put into the Army of Occupa- tion and were stationed at Mitternich, Coblenz. Luxemberg and various other places on the Rhine, awaiting to be sent home. A few weeks ago orders were given to get ready to leave for France, for the United States. After getting ready they were sent to St. Nazaire to await a transport for home. News was received here that they were ro sail for U. S. A. the tenth of June. This ends the adventures of the Milli- ken Regiment until they arrive in the United States. B. Froberger. L I MR, FRED J.

Although we are all glad to grad- uate, a feeling of sadness comes over us when we realize that we are leav- ing the dear old school which has been our home for four years and which holds so many pleasant memo- ries for us all. To us Cony has been more than a school. VVithin its walls we have worked and played. We have re- ceived the training to carry us on through new and difficult paths of life.

Pat is noted Cony-wide for the fact that his cogitative faculties are immersed in a cogibnndity of cogitations. In other -words, he's some deep thinker. A cross- section of his brain would probably show thoughts whirling around as swiftly as the words which fall from his lips when he delivers a speech.

During her four years at Cony, Marie has greatly developed in several lines. Her chief hobby is dancing which she takes every opportunity to practice. She has also shown wonderful skill in total ahstinence from studying. She delights also in those popular games of camou- flage and hluHing. My! but she can name a whole string of gentlemen admir- ers which constantly grows. Marie can carry away with her several humps and bruises as mute witnesses to the good games she played for Cony in Basket Ball. Marie makes a decided hit in the musical line and we believe she intends to perfect herself in it.

FREDERICK KENNEY - Shiner Commercial Track 4-3-2-I: Captain ig C club. An athlete fleet and strong is he. His power of endurance extraordinary: As track captain he could not fail to suc- ceed. For in dash, jump or managing he shows the same speed. Frederick is really an all round athlete, although he specializes in track. I-le goes down as one of the gamcst track men that ever represented Cony, as is plainly shown by his performance at the Cony-Gardiner meet when he took a winning part with a broken arm. We are certain that with this spirit to aid him he will make a success in life.

Johnnie of course 'ls known to us all, Good at all athletics, but best at Basket ball. Johnnie is certainly there when it comes to playing basket ball and although it probably would not have strained his intellect to any extent if he had studied more, he has ncvertheess worked his muscles enough to make up for this. He left school early and we are certain that if he puts as much energy into the game of life, as he did into the game of basket ball, he will surely succeed.

I FOOTBALL TEAM I 1 l FOOTBALL The Work of Captain John Redman has been a by-word in Cony football for the past four years. Captain of the team for two years and playing at right half for four years, he has been a steady and dependable ground gain- er and an inspiring captain. Leslie Hall has Filled the center po- sition, making his letter- three years. He also has been a consistent player. His passing and resistance to gains through his position have been a good calibre. Norman Toas, appearing for the first time in his senior year, played as in basketball a star game. Playing at left half he was a hard taekler and an elusive ground gainer. Carr Kennedy, another promising athlete, late in getting the inspiration played a fine game at end. His taek- ling and following the ball were clever. Curtis Hughes, who entered from Hallowell, although that should not be held against him, made his letter playing a good game at both end and half back. BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM F. Hill Coach Thompson V. Soule N. Toas V. McCourtney J. Redman BOYS, BASKETBALL The basketball season early gave promise of being successful and this promise was certainly justilied. ln the squad there were several veterans, Capt. Mcfourtney, Redman, Hill and Soule, while Toas, Plummer, Ken- nedy and Pierce had played before. The team as iinally picked was F. Hill rf, McCourtney lf, Soule c., Redman rg, Toas lg. 'We were fortunate this year in having a team with no weak spots. every man filled his position well and worked for the team. lrlill played a fast, clean, all-around game the whole season and excelled in passing and shooting. The hne guarding and passing of Soule, Redman and Toas showed up well in the long run and was an im- portant factor in the game. McCourtney's shooting was good and he covered a large territory. ln all respects this was the best basketball team ever turned out by Cony. A summary of all games shows a total score of 667 against 423 for the opponents. ' BASEBALL TEAM Back Row Poor Coach Thompson Mgr. Colburn Miller Front Row Brawvn Dowling Plummer Soule Hill Drew H. Hill BASEBALL The baseball season opened with a promising outlook. Capt. Soule, Taber, Redman and' McCall were the letter men on hand and Hill, Greeley and Brawn, other experienced ma- terial. However, Taber and Redman left school after the hrst game and McCall soon followed, leaving places hard to fill. The new material lacked experience, it being the hrst year for most of them. The only man of the 1918 team or squad being Capt. Soule. As far as victories were con- cerned it was a poor season. The re- deeming feature was the defeat of our old rival, Gardiner, 3-1 in a fast game. The pitching of Soule was the feature, while the catching and hit- ting of Hill was of the best. Seniors who played regularly were Capt. Vernon Soule, who did practi- cally all the pitching, and with better support might have a much better record. Francis Hill did the bull: of the catching although he performed well at first and in the box when needed. His all around playing, bat- ting and base runnig were of the best. Vtfilliam Miller held down third base, Hazen Hill played both first and second and Harold Drew took care of right field. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Mgr. B. Merrill C. Wade Coach D. Haskell E. Ton.:-1 L. Folsom A. Sterling M. Cram I. Purinton GIRLS, BASKETBALL l The girls' basketball team this year was one of the best ever put out and had it not been for the especially brilliant boys' team they would have received more attention. Every mem- ber of the team played well, with Louise Folsom as particular stain A summary of the games shows: WOI1 7, lost 3. I I l i 1 TRACK Interest ill track was not up to the usual mark this year. Scholarship. work and sickness took away several of the most promising candidates, and it seemed to take the enthusiasm away from the remaining members. An enthusiastic interclass meet at Chizzle Wizzle was won by the Seniors by a large margin. The team was rather badly defeated by Gardiner in the annual dual meet. A Pentathlon held for the first time was a success. Capt. Fred Ken- ney proved himself the best all around performer, while second. fourth and sixth places were taken by Seniors: MeCourtney, Toas and Kennedy re- spectively. Capt. Kenney has been the main stay in track for the past three years, usually placing well up in the jumps and dashes. He holds the school and Kcnnebcc Valley record of 5 ft. 3 ins. in the high jump. His place will be hard to fill and the other Senior members will be missed in future meets. DEBATI G The Debating Society of Cony High School has this year certainly been a live wire. Never before has it attracted so much attention in the school. Mrs. Kinne is to be greatly commended for her earnest work in making this organization what it is. Debates have been held regularly on topics of present-day interest. These were delivered in the Assembly Hall, and were greatly enjoyed by the chance visitors, who happened to be called back in the afternoon and went thither for- entertainment. Not only did the members of the Society work hard to keep it going good and strong, but they did their very best to awaken the interest of the school and to gain the support of their fellow-students. Several speeches were delivered in Assembly to get new members for the Society. The result was gratifying to the new members themselves as well as to the old members. Last but not least, the Society presented a very humorous Mock Trial. This gave our lawyers, judges and criminals the opportunity to display their talent in their respective lines. It was a very enjoyable occasion. The ad- mission was IO cents, 39.45 was the proceeds exclusive of war tax. Thus, since the activities of the Debating Society have proved equally suc- cessful, whether serious or humorous, the logical conclusion is that the members have greatly developed in all lines. Since this is so, the great advantage which the Debating Society cordially offers, should be eagerly accepted by Cony students of tomorrow.

Qaclvo 1 A ' DN-Nun X M M- -4, W' , N ' Du Mya: if ' 1 in SENIOR SUPPLEMENT SI CLASS HISTORY I-listory, the dictionary tells us, is the recording of past events. Events such as war, treaties, prosecution of trusts, building of airships, all go toward making up the history of the world. But the events about to be told deal with a class which in the fall of IQI5, entered Cony High School about one hundred and fifty strong. We entered high school-as the old saying goes: As fresh and green as the month of May but during our stay the green faded out to a dull drab. That hrst day at school was a reve- lation. .ln the hrst place, we went upstairs three flights or more and sat down in chairs of which, more often than not, the bottoms were minus. and looked solicitously up at a man whose chief occupation seemed to be the jingling of change in his pocket. ln a fatherly manner this kind-heart- ed man told us of the glories of edu- cation, and then with the same gen- tleness assigned us to home rooms, where we were registered and given our books and assignments for the next day. Then amid clattering gongs we rushed to our next room and through the same process omit- ting only the registration. For six periods we suffered and then Oh, Boy! liberty for the rest of the day, except for those who, be- cause of a little blue check mark on their programs had to go to the prin- cipal's office and wait-both in and' out of line, until the omcial within was ready to pronounce their doom. The next day we came with our les- sons more or less prepared-mostly less-and went through the process of going from recitation to recitation. And then following the same routine, day after day, we came to that mo- mentous occasion known as Chizzle VVizzle. The fatherly upper class- men on the executive committee ap- pointed our booth committee for us and saw to it that we did our part. lVe came out of the fair with a good-- ly profit. Again we dropped back to the old order for about two months until agi- tation for class organization started. One day we met up in the assembly hall and with Mr. Cobb as chairman elected Joseph Goldberg president. Then after the election more meet- ings were held at recess and at one o'clock for the choosing of the presentation gift. Witli the magnani- mous aid of our principal we selected furniture consisting of chairs and a table for the stage of the assembly hall. The former were for our wor- thy overseer and visiting lovers of free speech who rested both before and after their gas attack. The table served as a defense during the attack. The next thing on the program was the selection of the orators for the occasion. Those chosen finally were Joseph Goldberg, Theodora Barent- zen, Josephine Nickless, Stanley Col- burn, Margaret Nelson, Estella Web- ber, George Dunnack, and Elliott Goodwin. Everything went off in styleg the orators orated without mis- take. the audience applauded accord- ing to their taste, but best of all, I. think our class can say that we gave 52 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT Cony High the most useful gift of any class so far. Qur entrance to Cony High School as Sophs was delayed on account of a little, little germ, but an exceedingly active one, familiarly known as in- fantile paralysis. He not only made acquaintance in Augusta but all over the country and often left them in the lurch. Fortunately for us we were out for several weeks thereby losing the chance to meet him for which we were not sorry. During the Sophomore year, the class did nothing in particular, carry- ing on the routine work. VVe had the privilege of electing Mildred Brown. Bertha Merrill, Stanley Colburn, Norman Toas, as members to the newly formed Student Council which replaced the old Assembly in the transacting of business. It was surprising the amount of pride that we radiated for in our opinion we were so high above the average person that it was difficult to reach us. Finally we did stoop a lit- tle and our members to the Student Council actually had to help elect the Freshman' members - you know Freshmen are so helpless. We made fast friends with the teachers, for some of them liked us so well that they would call us back afternoons to see our shining faces and hear our melodious voices. Among the teachers, new faces had appeared and old ones disappeared. Miss Caldwell who assigned such short lessons to us during our Fresh- man year was gone and in her stead came Miss McManus who, 'tis rum- ored, wore a sparkler on her finger 'fore the year was out. Then there was Mr. Gibson up in Commercial Department'whose ponderous tread could often be heard in twenty-seven, and whose successor, Mr. Smith, was a prime favorite with the teachers. Last but not least, came Kempton Coady, who coached the Girls' Bas- ketball team and who took Miss Pills- bury's coaching us in Algebra, much to the edilication of the text-book. Also there was Miss Hanson, who taught the Seniors and others how to can the slang and put the rollers un- der the dictionary. There comes a time in the affairs of man when just past his prime he begins to reap the harvest which he sowed in his youth. With our class, this period came in our Junior year. Cue of the first and perhaps the most appreciated benefits we received was the enforced rest of about one month due to the coal shortage. That was the silver lining, the cloud part came in that we had to go to school Satur- days for five or six weeks. Then came Chizzle Wizzle, bigger and bet- ter than ever. This was largely due to most honorable president, who served on the executive committee and also tried his hand at the gentle art of imitating an actor. The next on the program was jun- ior Prom. with Stanley Colburn in the easy chair. This was our first real fiing in society and although we set our mark high we reached it, but as is often the case, the financial side of the affair not only kept up with but passed us. To keep things bal- anced there was much digging in poc- SENIOR SUPPLEMENT 53 kets and weeping and wailing, but only on the part of the collectors. Now came the final yearg in fact the year during which one lives more on his reputation than on his earnest efforts. About the first of December in the year of our Lord 1919 a meeting of the Senior Class was held. Dud Hill was elected President of Cliizzle-Wiz- zle Fair. Senator Colburn, Treasur- er, Tete Toas, Assistant Treasurer, these with Thelma Damren and Franklin Patterson formed the Senior part of the Executive Committee. If the previous Chizzle Wizzle Fairs were bigger and better this one was on a plane above all others. As the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof so the profits of Chizzle-VViz- zle proved its worth. The play which was given the second night was certainly worth see- ing. In the list of actors who took part we see the names of Hughes, McCou1'tney, Hill, Damren, Davis, Murphy and Wade. , At the beginning of the second se- mester Miss Day, a favorite with the Latin Classes left Cony in order to ac- cept a position in Connecticut. Her successor was Paul Thomas. On May 12th the Senior Reception was held in the Assembly Hall. A good crowd was present and it cer- tainly showed the popularity of danc- ing in our class. About this time there were several feverish class meetings and it was finally decided that the Cony Cue should publish the Senior Year Book. For this purpose a committee of ten were appointed to write the necessary grinds and other things which help to make a Year Book. Theodora Baz'- entzen was chairman. The committee worked in collabo- ration with the Cony Cue staff. Toward the end of the year the Seniors decided to have two more social functions, two rousing good times as a grand finale to four years of comradeship. The first was the Senior Hop held in the Assembly Hall. There were about twenty-five couples on the floor. This went off with the usual smoothness and suc- cess of Cony functions. The smashing success, however, came with the Senior Banquet at the Augusta House. Almost every mem- ber of the class and several of the faculty were present at this. The speeches were full of fun and the jokes were pointed and well received by all. It was unanimously decided that this was the most successful event that the Senior Class ever put through. In conclusion we can all say heart- ily that Cony is the dearest and best school beneath the sung that we have passed with her four very happy years which will always be pleasant to recallg that the Class of ,IQ is the jolliest and liveliest class that ever entered her portals. Willard E. Strong, ,I9. 54 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT CLASS PROPHECY I found myself in a beautiful field. books of fairy tales or fiction have never pictured anything more won- derful. Dreams of the world re- nowned writers and philosophers have never portrayed anything more lovely. Ancient Greek myths con- cerning this field of wandering shades are all true, but they so under estimate the splendor of this spot, that they are hardly worthy of men- tion. Shakespeare. if he could have pictured this place, would have chosen it as a scene of his plays. Beau- tiful Japanese flower gardens would in comparison seem like barren wastes. Estates of the most wealthy cultivated continually could not be compared to this field, yet it receives no cultivation except that of the Gods. The wavy formation of the sur- face was pleasing to the eye appear- ing like a vast ocean in distress. The highest waves were crowned with huge trees some centuries old, from the cherry tree of the laps to the Pine tree of the Yanks. The more mod- erate waves were crowned with flowers of every hue and every kind. The rest was grass, that fresh green grass that comes early in the spring and to the touch just like a velvet car- pet. Beautiful birds flew overhead, some were familiar to me while others were strangers. Wlhat a surprise to find oneself in such a wonderful place after a hard life on earth. VVhere do you hail from , my friend ? said a shade, who surprised me by his presence, for I believed no one near. Me, I said, VVhy I am from Maine and you? I did not have time to linish for he was so excited that he did not even give me half a chance to answer him. VVell, I guess I'm pleased, I have worn out almost as many lives as a cat trying to find a Maine shade, one that could tell me what I want to know, and one that I could depend upon. Perhaps I don't know either, I said. But in the later part of my life I met a great many people, if it is concerning anybody that you wish newsfy You see it is this way. I-Ie tried to spoil my reputation and I just thought that I would like to give him a few hints concerning business. But, what is his name, I said. After a few minutes of thought he replied. Well, I have forgotten, I could have told you a second ago, its--, No, it isn't either. But l can tell you this much about him. l-le came from Massachusetts to Maine. HI don't think I know him, I said. Perhaps not, but I might as well go on. l'le lived in Augusta for a while. My home townfi I said. And he was Principal of a school there, Cony, Cony liligh School, thatls it. Cobb? VVas that his name? UNO!! Then it's Fred Nash. Yes, can you give me any infor- mation about him? Has he departed SENIOR SUPPLEMENT 55 from that world or have you seen him around here ? No, l said. But if I do what shall I tell him ? Oh, just tell him that I am looking for him, my pass that Charon gave me is almost worn out but it will have to last until I End him. All right, I said, and started ta walk ofI. But who shall I tell him wants to see him, I added? just tell him .it's me, Sherlock I-lolmes. I-le tried to spoil my repu- tation in IQIQ but failed. I wandered on for some time, I was not hungry or thirsty, nor did I be- come tired. All of a sudden I stood still with amazement. Could my eyes deceive me? Ihfas it true? there in the distance was a river, not a river of water, but a river of blood. I made a great haste and was soon at the bank. Ili could not see the other side, hot wafts of wind burned my cheeks and parched my nostrils and throat. l-lere I was at the Styx. Aroused by curiosity, I determined to follow the river for a little distance. At the top of a rise I sighted what appeared in he a big billboard, one side slightly raised from the ground. Upon near- ing it found it to be a huge book covered with writing. Names of people I did not know were written there but all the same, I might find some that were familiar to me, so I began to read. Intent on my work did not hear the approach of a shade, an old one bearded and wizzled, who rapped me on the back and said, Come Merrill, I have been looking for you, I knew I'd find you prying into someone e1se's business. 6 But, said I, can't I see it I can End some one's name here that I know? And what do you want of me anyway ? Business, my man, business. This has been my business for thousands of years. I'm Charon you know, my boat is just a little ways below heref' Please, I said, let me look here a minute, I knew I would find some- one's here. I-Iere's Gertrude Austin's name, when did she register and what did she have to say ? Not long ago she registered here, she was quite a big woman too and said that she wasglad of a change. You see she married a little man so she could sling him around, I think his name was Clinton Folger. He was so little after she got done bang- ing him around that gravity had no effect on him, so he used to paint flag- poles. But for the change he deter- mined to get it back at her, so he be- gan to eat Freshmen's Yeast. I-Ie be- cameso big that she lost her mastery of him. Raving mad she got a divorce and became head nurse in a dmls hospital, while Clinton was fat man in Barnum Sz Bailey's Novelty Show. She had with her a lady by the name of Cram, who got married fouritimes and each one of her husbands got here just one year apart. They took the shortest road from misery and met here toltalk about her minus good qualities. Her second husband, was Norman Toas, who had already com- bined forces with a fair little damsel, but owing to his dislike for the restau- rant business they parted, dividing the spoils, he taking six boys as his share and she six girls. 56 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT This is interesting, I said. Do you know anything about Stanley Col- burn ? I think, said Charon, that he was an inventor. He married some- one, I have forgotten who, and they had two children, both of 'Sterling' quality. For years he tried to find 2: substitute for salt water, someone stole the ocean, I think it was Curtis Hughes. One night the crisis came, he was weeping over a great loss that he had recently undergone, when a tear dropped from the end of his nose into his mouth and tasting salt he re- joiced, but alas friends, it was not a tear at all. For this marvelous dis- covery he was offered many positions but he chose one at Gann.ett's Publish- ing House licking postage stamps. He soon invented a substitute for his work and died living on the interest of his wife's money. As for Curtis Hughes he joined the Navy as a doctor, getting disgusted with the way the President ran things he tried to steal the navy, but getting caught i- the act he decided to take the ocean. Getting rid of this bothersome thin he went to work as head of the Oper- ating Department of a Shoe Hospital, but he tried to take away so many soles that they sent him here. I-Iere's another friend of yours, Carr Ken- nedy. Fearing the saying Faint heart never wins fair lady he drank an ice cream soda and got married and would you believe it he married one of your relatives. After wearing out the cement walk in front of another woman's house, his wife sent him to bed, later he became his mother-in- law's chauifeur. This other woman was Vernon Soule'5 wife, Lulu Davis, Soule was an auto dealer. He dis- posed of many cars, always succeed- ing in killing his customer and run- ning up a lamp post or into a frog pond, especially if it was some other man's wife. Securing his patron's money he would spend one nickel for candy and the other for Lulu. His smashed car he would sell to the junk man whose name really was Hazen Hill, who had his name changed to Jacob VVhiskcy to make business bet- ter. I-Ie chose for his bride Ida Slos- berg, expecting to get her fathers business but when he died hc took his business along with him and by the way, he is now selling palm fans over across. jacob was an ar- dent believer in the Jewish re- ligion. He kept a flock of pigs and had the city water taken from his house. One of his friends was Har- ris MCC-ouldrick. His highest ambi- tion was to be a decorator and in his later life he attained it in a novel way. Owing to some unknown force, whether of will or other, he became a physician. His patients were al- ways cured of their ailment, and most always he separated them from all worldly cares and trials, free of charge. Their last resting place was always marked by some of f'Shad's artistic bouquets of spinach, like he used to carry to Emily. He was stunned with the announcement of Emily's engagement to Harold Drew. She always liked farming for as a girl she had a garden of stinking Ben- jamins and cabbage. Harold was handsome man liked by all the ladies. After farming for three weeks and SENIOR SUPPLEMENT 57 deciding that the crops did not ma- ture fast enough for their purpose they moved to the city where both found much to entertain them. Emily chose the movies while I-Iarold chose Lillian Brawn. Qlealously forced the two apart and on a week from the last Monday in April, Lillian and Harold were married. Perhaps there is someone else here you want to ask about. You know Bertha Merrill, of course. She certainly led a merry life. She First studied music at the Boston School of Architecture. At her graduation she was presented with a safety phone, a new musical instrument invented by Stanley Col- burn. It consisted of a safety pin and a rubber band. In later years she took to the stage, ca1nouHagecl as Merrill's Novelty Orchestra. Ten men picked her out for their wife but she said her husband must he able to play a potato whistle. In learning to play this instrument, many made a mistake and swallowed it. Dunnack died with inward growth of a potato whistle. Bertha told me that Josephine Nickless and Margaret VVhite were telephone girls, both liked calls even if they didn't know their callers. Now really, Merrill, Pm late as it is. Please don't ask me any more. But heref, said , just one more, here is 'Fheodora Barentzen's name. Xkfhat about her? Well she, said Charon, spent most of her life teaching. She grad- uated from some college with two de- grees A. M. and P. M. The two great achievements of her life were first- she succeeded in vocalizing short- hand, second-she succeeded in rais- ing Latin to life. Connected with Theodora were three other women, one was Nelly Milliken. She mar- ried a soda dealer and later became very important at the Bar. Margaret Nelson, her partner in crime, succeed- ed in earning for herself a name in the supreme, court, for this she is worthy of great praise. In intoxica- tion cases she was queen of all law- yers. In this way helping Nelly's husband's business along. In order to gain power she married the judge and courted the janitor. One of Mar- garet's most important cases was that of Willard Strong vs. A Railroad Company suing a company for a car they had run over. Willard with his wife Esther Brown lived peaceably on a farm. Along with Theodora, Nelly and Margaret came Estella Webber. Although she was very quiet in her school days in later daysiher name should have been changed to Theda. Her first catch was a rich for- eigner. Her second a Hallowell Broker. This Broker was George Hewins. They led a happy life until Estella insisted they move but Geogre was doing such a good business, for he was taking ice business on the side, that he would not move. And as a result of the difference they parted. Here is Howard Beale, said Charon, one of your friends, I sup- pose. He picked out for his life's work a very profitable business, al.- though he was slow and the work de- manded great patience, he made :1 good thing of it. Discovering one day while in the woods that mos- 58V SENIOR SUPPLEMENT quitoes were good to eat, especially their eye brows, he began to raise them. I-Ie soon had quite a bug farm. At certain times of the year he would take each bug separately and cut out his eye browsg these he shipped in large quantities to hotels where they were used as garnish. Beale became very famous through this work. specially in the bug world. For a wife hc took Louise Brennan, she was so patient with his sick and injured bugs. If this was the fourth time that Louise had taken a husband I-Ioward did not mind, it really was of an ad- vantage to him for it took three hus- bands to teach her how to cook for human beings. 'Birdena VVing is a -mystery and little is known concerning herg but it is thought as a stenographer in a dentist ofhce, she qualified as a dentist and practiced. As to Susan VVaugh, I think she taught school in. the country. She married VVhitney Thomas who before his marriage was a carpenter, after- wards a married man. Maurice Leighton, one of VVhitney's bachelor friends, was a frequent visitor at the Thomas home. Leighton was over- seer of a Donkey farm. He was such a capable manager it is said that he is the only man who has a donkey's character. Florence Best had a hard time of it. She tried with unceasing courage to get married and to her dying days she was an old maid. Most of the time she worked in an officeg in a box office of a theatre where Leslie I-Iall shifted scenes and played fat man. His sister Sadie lived quietly at home, once in a while securing employment as clerk in a Dry Goods store. Stanley Estes was a rich land own- er. After graduating from an Agri- cultural School he took up farming on an extensive scale. Roxie Bunker and Muriel Holt, two old school chums. cut a deep gash in society. Roxie and her ribbon coun- ter husband spenl their winters midst 'the whirl of society and their sum- mers at a fashionable summer resort. Muriel was married early in life, and with her foreign fashioned clothes she was continually a subject of conversation. known through Her beauty was many lands for she has graced many a court with her presence. Ruth Carleton, as you know, since childhood was Elliott Goodwin's sweetheart and remained so until their marriage. In her spa1'e time she painted Menu cards. Brooks Chase as you remember .1 favorite among the Freshmen turned out to be an electrical Engineer. Much credit is due him for the ability which he showed constructing the overhead bridge and railways in Au- gusta. lrle chose for a wife Eliza- beth I-Iill, who previous to her mar- riage was stenographer in a lawyers oHice. -lasper Daggett was a scientific ,farmer and conducted on his farm many important experiments and in- vestigations both for his good and the ,good of the country. I-lis wife was a stranger and so you would not be in- terested in her. Thelma Damren was always quite a girl for I-Iills, when it wasn't one smxnoa sUPPLizMENT SQ kind it was another. After keeping house several years for her father. she left the hills to go on the level with Carroll, one of her first admir- ers. Mary Dowling went in training for a nurse and after some years of prac- tice she obtained the position of Su- perintendent of a Hospital in the VVest. She tried to persuade Clara Drake to go in training with her but as Clara had a good position as bookkeeper she decided to keep it. Clarinda Cloutier and her husband ran a famous summer resort in Maine. This is where Muriel and her husband go for the summers. Clarinda has made this place famous for fashions for she spends her win- ters in selecting new summer gowns. Louise Folsom and Marjorie Farn- ham obtained good government posi- tions in the 'l'reasury Department. Louise married the assistant treasurer and Marjorie his brother. Leone Garvin was so wrapped up in her work of wrapping up powders that she forgot to get married. Viola Haskell was cashier in a store for some years. Later she married a farmer. They earned their living by raising guinea pigs. Vera l-larmon took a special course in stenography and secured a position in the office of a beef trust. She could not seem to find a husband to suit her and as luck would have it she was an old maid. No one expected her to be for she was so different in her youth. Gerald Herrin after taking up engi- neering, went to France to help in the reconstruction. After five years there he came home bringing home a French wife. Every one envied him for she was such an attractive mad- amoiselle. Francis Hill became a noted physi- cian. His practice was mostly in New York among the opposite sex at whose homes he delighted to take tea. Frederick Kenney after farming in Maine for some years decided togo west and try his fortune as many other men had done. He succeeded very well for he soon became owner of a large sheep ranch. Having been successful he sent home for his sweet- heart Madeline Merrill. They were married thereon the Sheep Ranch and lived happily ever after. XVe find joseph Leavitt in a coun- try town as a soap box speaker. Re- lating to the old inhabitants his Won- derful experiences Over There. I was told by Lena Marriner that her old friend Margaret Johnson had become Mrs. Cummings. She and her .husband owned a creamery and there Lena Marriner worked in the office. , One of the most famous ice cream dealers in 'Boston was Victor Mc- Courtney. Having followed this trade since childhood his manufacturing business was large. He was known to be a frequent caller at Northamp- ton, Mass., where Maud Barker was a teacher. The old Miller Fruit Business in Augusta was run by VVilliam and Harry Miller. Needing help in their business they both married girls from away, I believe. In one of our leading hospitals in Maine we find Hortense Staples and 60 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT Queenie lfVoodard as trained nurses. As nurses usually marry one of their patients, and as this was no exception to the rule, they both married. Franklin Patterson was one of the most famous Scientists and philoso- phers of the day. His many inven- tions and discoveries will be used for ever. I-Iis writings are classed among' those of Edmund Burke, Prof. James, and Plato. Susan Peabody took advantage of the Domestic Arts Course which she studied in High School early in life. Soon after her graduation from I-Iigh School she married. Wliile her hus- band tilled the farm she did dress- making. In a southern town we found Isa- belle Pelton a physical culture instruc- tor in the public schools. After teach- ing for several years she became in- terested in charitable work and spent the rest of her life in the interest cf orphans. At Harvard gymnasium John Red- man was physical director. Aside from this work he played on many a star football team. During the sum- mer he and his wife, who came from Augusta, traveled. Any rags, any bottles, any junk to- day? Joe Slosberg is coming this way. Rubbish would accumulate, so what could we do without a man of this kind? The governor of 1930 had Annie Stiles for his private stenographer. At the same time Constance Wade was speaker of the I-Iouse. I have told you more than I ought to have now, Merrill, so don't ask me any more. Here it is ten minutes past Tuesday and you were due at half past Monday. VVhat shall I give the Devil for an excuse P lust tell him, I said, that both hands are off your watch. CLASS WILL Since in the course of human and inhuman events, it has become neces- sary for this our class to say good- bye to dear old Cony and all that her name implies, we find that there are numerous talents and otherwise which grace or disgrace our class, which our sense of duty or revenge bids us be- underclassmen, the stow upon the faculty, and the organizations of C. I-I. S. It gives us great pleasure to first state the bequests of individual assets of the class of ,IQ. The popularity and remarkable executive ability of our president, Stanley Colburn, we do confer upon the president of the com- ing Freshman class with the hearty wish that he may have as glorious a term, as complete a success, and as pleasant a time as has our president. Mr. Colburn has also authorized us to wish upon the same heir as an extra gift from him, his velocity and per- sistency at chewing gum. May the heir of this goodly inheritance derive as much pleasure as possible from it. We have with us this evening one whose marvelous vocabulary and gift of free speech has exhibited itself on many notable occasions. I-Ie is a prominent member of the Cony Dc- batingi Society and his name is Stanley Estes. I-Iis magnetic power of hold- ing the intense interest of his audi- 'l Q SENIOR SUPPLEMENT 61 ence, his gift of oratory, and his power of expressive gestures and pauses, we do hereby bequeath to his rising satellites, George Sheldon and Donald Trouant, to be shared equally between them. If said heirs to this priceless inheritance do quarrel or otherwise behave unseemly in the di- vision, the same will descend to Leo Fox, another struggling member of the Debating Society. Since the amorous Curtis Hughes does not intend to add the conquests of a neo-edu college to his list, we leave his extraordinary ability in this line to Sylvester Poor. who. though a Freshman, has proven himself mon- arch of all he surveys. To Mr. Thomas, our recent but erstwhile acquisition, we leave a gift of great value to one of his profession. The power of one of the seniors to keep order is to be invested in Paul Thomas with the hope that he will use this to the best of his ability. To the Basket Ball team of tomor- row we leave the genius of Tete 'lfoas as excellent guard and good sportg to Gretchen, the memory of the perfect gallantg to anyone, Tete's indiiierence and composure in the face of the attacks of the faculty. 'l'o Edward Handy we leave the re- markable ability of the ex-Editor-im Chief of the Cony Cue, Franklin Patterson. His willingness to work for the school's interest and his scien- tihc genius, the same Edward Handy is to have the privilege of receiving. Margaret Nelson and Nelly Milli- ken, leave their ability to debate to their small sisters, Eleanor and Gladys. With this also goes their aversion to boys that the heiresses' progress in school may not be im- peded by foreign and useless attrac- tions. Constance VVade leaves her drama- tic ability to future Chizzle VVizzle stars. She also bequeaths her art as a guaranteed perfect carrier of love missives to Doris Nicholson. The re- cipient should use her inheritance to help others remembering how reliable Constance has been in her case. The popularity of 'IDud Hill and his pep as cheer-leader we bequeath to Alden Merrill. We hope that he will make the school raise the roof as well as Dud always did. Estella Wfebber leaves her high rank, her cheerful disposition, and her willingness to help everyone to unclerclass men in general as a source of inspiration and an ostrich eggi' to aim for. Shad McGouldrick leaves his perseverance to all Cony students and to Emily Toas the memory of a tire- less worker for the winning of her af- fections. To Miss Strong, we leave the re- mains of Stanley Estes' Ford that she may repair hers in case of accident. To Murray Randall we leave the housekeeping propensities of james Merrill. The same heir is to receive james' love of fun and pleasure and his prestige in planning skipping ex- peditions. Harold Drew's ability to drop to sleep in the greatest confusion of the class room will go to supplement the already suflicient power in this line of Henry Bangs. To Mr. Nash we leave the memory 62 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT of a spirited, loyal class and a half dozen obedient Virgil studentsg also to him we leave deep appreciation for his help in our enterprises. To Mrs. Kinne a note-book full of assignments as a reminder of the hard working Seniors. To her also We leave appreciation for her preparing us so excellently for our future ca- reers. To Mrs. Butnam many thanks for giving us so many, many jokes for the Cony Cue. To Miss Strong deep appreciation for the aid she has given us in making our paper a success, to Miss Lee also appreciation for the effort and energy she has expended in typevvriting our abundance of material. To Mr. Thompson, a pledge to re- member forever the popular, wide- awake coach who entered with us. To the Junior class, We leave the high scholarship of the class of '19, plenty of pep,', and a few sensible ideas of graduation. To the new Cony Cue staff, Wil- lard Strong's willingness to work, his diplomacy in getting advertisements and his cheerful indifference to ob- staclesg the ability and earnestness of Franklin Patterson and a splendid precedent. To the new Basket Ball team we leave the well-earned title of state championship and the spirit and 'lpepu of the best team that ever made a score. To the new Baseball team. we leave the spirit of determination, pluck, and the most admirable sportsmanship which was ever manifested by a loser. To the Debating Society, the ear- nestness and good will of the depart- ing members who have worked to make the society a success and in- crease her membership. To this also we leave a very material inheritance, 5,510.50 in the treasury, the proceeds of a very successful Mock Trial. To Cony High a perfectly good set of stage furniture, minus a slat or two. To Cony, underclassmen, and facul- ty, we leave deep appreciation for the cheerful and efhcient instruction we have received, the earliest help in launching enterprises. and the spirit of good fellowship, which has made our stay at Cony most delightful and has rendered us incapable of ever forget- ting her. T. Barentzen, '19. The graduation exercises of the class of ,IQ took place on Thursday evening, -Tune 19, at 8 o'clock. The speaker of the evening, Dr. blames P. Albion of l3'ortland, gave a very inter- esting and inspiring address. The diplomas were presented by Dr. Thompson, assisted by Mr. Nash. Al- though there was, as there always is, a tinge of sadness, the whole occasion was especially effective. The graduation costume was de- cidedly dillferent from that of preced- ing years. The girls were attired in white middy suits and red ties, while the young men wore white trousers and dark coats. lt was a very pleasing sight, where simplicity and grace took the place of extravagance. VVe hope that the success of this costume will lead other classes to adopt it. SENIOR SUPPLEMENT 63 The most delightful occasion that the class of ,IQ ever enjoyed was the Senior Banquet at the Augusta House on Monday evening, june 16. :Practi- cally everyone was present and each member enjoyed to the utmost that atmosphere of harmony and jollilica- tion which only a big family of school girls and boys can create. The toastmaster of the evening, blames Merrill, lilled his position in the dignified and witty manner which is characteristic of jimmie. Not for one second did he fail to keep the ball rolling. He introduced each speaker with a little joke at his expense which served to put him at his ease by its informality. We were very sorry that Mr. Nash and Mr. Thompson could not be with us. lt was impossi- ble for the latter to appear at all, while the former was unable to hear the speeches. The various speakers proved very equal to the occasion and their speeches, lilled with wit and knocks were much enjoyed by all. 'lfheodora Barentzen led off with the class will. Next came Stanley Colburn, whose speech was full of jokes and hits on the members of the class and of the faculty. Stanley Estes has shown an- other side of his nature which has never been manifested before, that is the power of prophecy. He told the Who's Who of our class in 1950. Nelly Milliken inclined in the same direction and described the Cony ef 1950 by means of a new machine for transferring thought years ahead. Franklin Patterson, when called upon for a speech, which he had not had time to prepare, told a joke upon one of the faculty, which proved very ade- quate. Willard Strong then favored us with a very interesting and clever class history. james Merrill followed this up with a prophecy, the most novel and snappiest class prophecy of any class before this. Estella Webber made a decided hit for she had C0111- posed a line poem entitled Impossi- biliticsf' This was very humorous, knocking almost every member of the class. lft was very well received and we will all say that Estella is some poet. A The members of the faculty either cleverly foiled the plan of the venge- ful toastmaster to make them speak impromptu or replied by a very pleas- ing, though short speech. We think that the clever and jolly way in which some of them declined the kind invi- tation of friend toastmaster was as enjoyable as a speech would have been. The members of the faculty present the whole evening were Miss Vickery, Miss Newman, Mrs. Kinne, Miss Smothers, and Miss Haskell. Mr. Nash was obliged to withdraw much to his regret, before the speeches were delivered, thus losing a fine op- portunity to speak, much to our regret. W7 e are sure that the faculty members enjoyed the occasion as much as did the class of 'I9. Nothing could have been more ini- pressive, nothing could have served better to bind the class together by the iron links of friendship, nothing could have better formed a climax of four perfect years in consecrating anxl establishing forever in our hearts :1 deep love for Cony and the class of '19, SENIOR SUPPLEMENT A SONG OF LIFE Cur life is like a flower For but weak Howers are we, Frail as the dust from whence we sprang, Though strong we seem to be. The Flower develops day by day As does the human life, . Experiencing both sun and rain, As we do joy and strife. The tender Hower loves not the rain As it roughly beats aroundg And she longs for the golden sunshine, Lying crumpled on the ground. Were it not for the rain, little Hower, You would fade and wither awayg And your thirsty roots would seek in vain For moisture day by day. So we in the course of life, Think we need more sun than rain. .But the Father who made us knows That we need them both the same. And when the blossom of youth is gone, And the thread of life is severed, Wfe wither as the flower VVhieh the tempest could not weather. And so, just as the reaper Cuts the flower from its stem So Death, our reaper claims us 'When arrives our destined end. T.

Estella Webber, ,IQ 66 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT THE SPIRIT OF MUSIC How Wonderful the influence of music upon the human soul! How all pervading is the spirit of music! 'What a vital part of existence does music form! Wfhat an empty void life would be without it! The emotions of all races, all classes, all generations find vent in music. The music of each race is symbolic of the character of that race. In the olden days, in the mod- ern times, music has always been the most important agent to amuse, to ex- cite, to soothe. Mythology is full of heroes whose power lay in the art of the musician. There are numerous instances of the wonderful power of music. The name, Orpheus, immediately brings his lyre to mind. I-Ie was inspired by Apollo with the power to work won- ders by his skill as a musician. Dur- ing a terrible storm on the Argonau- lic expedition, the wild waves became calm at the plaintive strains of the lyre and the very winds ceased whistling to listen to the enthralling sound. Another instance shows how irresistible was the charm of Or- pheus' music. His wife, Eurydice, died and went to Erebus. Orpheus pined on earth above. Finally he went to the underworld to plead for her return. As the beautiful strains rang through the abodes of grim Pluto, Proserpine, Furies themselves were of music the dead, and the moved to tears and Orpheus was al- take Eurydice back to the lowed to upper world, on one condition that he should not turn around until he reached his destination, He dis- obeyed and Eurydice was taken from him again. There are other instances of the in- fluence of music in mythology. Am- phion built the wall of Thebes merely by playing on his lyre. As he struck the melodious strings with his ivory plectrum, the stones moved of them- selves and leaped into place. An- other, Arion, won a magnilicent prize of gold for his skill as a musician, On the return home the sailors were seized with a great desire for the gold and threatened the life of Arion. He advanced to the side of the ship and singing to the accompaniment of his lyre he leaped overboard. The chil- dren of the sea pressed close in won- der. A huge dolphin, entranced by the sound, carried Arion safely to shore on his back. We have another instance in mod- ern literature. The Pied Piper of I-lamlin's deed was the wonder of our childhood. Rats hurriedly followed the fascinating sound of his music. Children then followed him and the mountain opened unto the happy throng. XfVhy do myths and literature as- sign such marvels to the power of music? Because to music belongs the power to perform wonders. These stories and fables seem to lack veracity, but each and everyone have a dehuite purpose, to set forth a well-known truth. In every walk of life, music is an impelling force. VVhy does the song of -the mother soothe the fretful infant? Why do tiny children sing little songs and im- provise those of their own as soon SENTOR SUPPLEMENT 67 as they can lisp their lirst words? The very fact that little children in- voluntarily turn to music clearly proves that their action is in obei- sauce to a natural impulse. It is a truth of long standing that music is a force for the good i11 war. The strains of martial music fire the enthusiasm. VVithout music. where the blazing determination of .thc warrior. where the mettle of his stecd. where the long-suffering pa- tience of the wounded hero, where the power of endurance of the nurse? Music is a stimulus to every human impulse. So it is the only explanation. that music comes as a perfectly natural response to the in- sistent call of the human mind. Let us look at modern times. The cntire fascination of dancing lies in the rhythm of music. Music itself directly forms a great part of the en- tertainment of the people of today. The human race naturally turns to this for pleasure. Do not ask for expression in words of the charm of music or an explanation of its effects. Do not seek for words to express that inexplicable harmony between music and the human senses. Wfords can- not explain this natural feeling in an inherent understanding of the beau- tiful but inexpressible. The various races, as I have said. have their music, the tone in each case being necessarily didferent. In- dian music, so strange and thrilling tallies exactly with the character of the people. The Chinese music seems to us drummy and monoto- nous, but to them it is very melo- dious. And Oh! the Scotch and their bag- pipes! How fascinating! Small wonder that the bright plaids whirl about in the highland fling to its tune! Thus all races are as essen- tially diiterent in their tastes in music as in their customs. The negro race has its individual style of music. The songs are lively and rollicking, just as the negro mind craves. Picture a plantation cabin on a stilly summer evening. Woiilrl you not first visualize a dusky old couple upon the doorstep? Would not the hoary old darky be playing a fiddle or a wheezing accordion? Could you not almost hear the lilt- ing, jiggy tune? Wotild not two or three little pickaninnies just nat- urally dance right into this mental picture? Of course, it would be the same whoever were painting the picture. Our race is highly sensitive to the influence of music. Our taste has a heterogeneous character. Classical music. so beautiful and inspiring, ap- peals to the deeper mind. Opera music is more widely appreciated. Patriotic music enjoys the very broadest appreciation. And rag- time! That Vagabond which hangs upon the outskirts of good music :es a parasite seeking to take the strength of its victim. This comes in re- sponse to a remnant of barbaric im'- pulse. The home, the college, each has its songs, eulogizing its best and sweetest phases. Such are the dif- ferent forms of our music, so like in purpose but so unlike in sound and character. 68 SENIOR SUPPLEMENT And so we see that music has the same influence the world over. This influence is universally felt and real- ized but no one has the power to ex- plain it. Everyone is susceptible to the power of music but each is af- fected in a different way. Different nerves vibrate to the strains. The most hardened criminal could be stayed in the middle of a terrible deed if he should hear a strain of music that struck the keynote of his nature. Music forms a part ofthe life of each individual, although everyone does not realize it. Every human impulse is prompted by it. How great has been its value in giv- ing inspiration. And so we see that music is absolutely essential to the liner side of our nature. Its in- fluence is beyond human power to ex- plain. Music is necessary to satisfy the natural craving of the human soul. T. Barentzen, '19. TO MEDORA Medora: queen of all school-marms, Sovereign by your many charms.

FINIS THE CONY CUE IQ LOOKING AHEAD As we go out of high school, the one thing that holds our attention the most is without doubt the future. It all lies open to us to make of it what we can. Wliat are its possibilities and what does it hold in store? These questions concern us most vitally in the stage which we have reached. No one can foretell them accurately but conclusions can be arrived at by a little inductive reasoning. It is indeed interesting and impor- tant to try to contemplate what will take place during the next generation. Here we may use our inductive rea- soning, and by looking over the pre- ceding age we may safely conclude that the next few years portend ad- vancement in every way. Science, questions of war and peace, govern- ments and a host of other things lie in the balance. Regarding science much can be said relating to the de- velopment of the airplane, the auto- mobile, the telephone and countless other things relating to these. The whole world is interested in the very important issues of the war. A great many broad-minded statesmen are en- dcavoring it is thought to better con- ditions so as to make future wars vir- tually impossible. By the time the intricate maze of small nations have stable governments the twentieth cen- tury will rapidly be dwindling away, A vivid imagination might be able to picture futurity more in detail but a brief sketch is sufficient for the pur- pose. The coming age is also full of op- portunity. Witli many new things coming into use it will be more easy to make one's way in the world. Progress and advancement will be on every hand sb that it will be almost impossible to be a failure. Civiliza- tion rapidly improving will give no one a chance of not succeeding, pro- viding of course he does his share. O happy and prosperous times, as a result of reaction from an age of hor- ror and bloodshed, we the newcomers into the great beyond look to you for help and aid. Wliat is the one thing that will help us in this new difliculty. It is none other than what education which we have acquired at school. With this thought comes the question, have we made the best of our opportunities iii getting this important requisite? if we have, we ought to be prepared for the task in hand. Of course the more preparation we make the easier it will be to follow our pursuits. In other words education in higher schools is also important. We can never un- derestimate the value received from our high school training especially so when in so modern and well devel- oped age as ours where the best education is necessary. Of course our training will by no means stop with high school or even college. In that stage we are pre- paring for what bigger and better things may befall. The thought, I think that we may best carry away with us especially as we separate in going into our life's Work is the im- portant part our school training will occupy in the days to come. Howard Beale, 'I9. zo , . TI-IE CONY CUE LAST, BUT NOT LEAST How oft it has been repeated, 'WVell, how delightful it will be to he a Senior, when there will be nothing to do but travel to and fro and about the school building with a superior air and treat our studies with a calm in- difference. However, I am a Senior. and, naturally have had only one ex- perience of bearing that title as this is my I-Iigh School Course. The last few days of the year are near at hand and I will truly say that that familiar quotation of-which I have previously mentioned has not in vaguest manner proved true. For instance suppose we should make a secret visit to the homes of some of our notable A+ student members, through nights out of the week at the least about ten o'clock in the evening each and every one still sitting before a stack of books about one foot high, with an array of dic- tionaries and encyclopedias here and there on the table top. Do you not think for one minute that it would be absolutely disgraceful to one of these students to calmly walk up to him and ask Aren't you glad you are a Sen- ior, and do not have to worry about studies? Is it any wonder that a number of our Senior members have had to purchase the so-called specs ? Do we ever think for a minute that these students with their prize ranks are going to slackeu up the last year of school and lose their honors? We are much mistaken if we do for this would never happen. Then there are the B+, B, or even C+ whose reputation has to be kept up, for it has been proven that it is usually the students that get the latter ranks who have to do the real studying, and they are not by any means classed with the dunces. I-Iow disastrous it would be if there were no graduating class. I fear the building would have to be somewhat enlarged. I-low impossible it is to convince ourselves that we are glad We are Seniors. If we don't study how are we to gain our diplomas, we surely cannot buy them. And how sad it is to think that some of our classmates we may never meet again. Isabelle Pelton, 'I9. GOD'S OWN The faint glow of dawn, In the land of promise divine, Is God's own symbol As formed by the hands of Time In all its splendor so fair, A love-portrayed creation, Leading us onward and upward Charming our soul's relation. Its splendor leads us hither, To the church of God for prayer. And makes us a little more thankful And less inclined to despair. And now with our hearts o'erHowing, We can rest in safety secure, Knowing of God's own promise, Of love and truth so pure. Ruth Carleton, 'IQ. TI-IE 'CONY CUE 21 THE SPY CATCHERS The whole town was fairly on end with excitement for it was rumored that a band of German spies were at work in their midst. No one had actually seen them going about their nefarious business but there was plenty of proof that they were there. Sally Tinker had one discovered to her horror a brilliant splash of red paint on the sidewalk in front of her house. lrVhat could be clearer than that the German agents had thus marked the house and its inhabitants for destruction? Mrs. jones reported that someone had been poisoning the water in the lower meadow where her cow was pastured, for the cow had heretofore faithfully given seven quarts of milk every night and now it had suddenly dropped to six. Such a phenomenon could be accounted for only as tl1e result of German plotting. There were many other instances of like sort such as a missing water pail, strange noises at night and the dis- appearance of a pie which Mrs. Jen- kins had set out to cool. Was it any wonder that the town was aroused? The women who in most of the cases had been the ones to discover these incriminating evidences Hnally decided to take matters into their own hands and form a society for the pro- tection of the village. The name of this society was to be The Associa- tion of Spy Catchers and Sally Tink- cr was unanimously elected president. as she was obviously the one most in need of the society's help. The first formal meeting of the Association of Spy Catchers was held one Tuesday night at the home of its president. The members came one by one and as quietly as possible so as not to attract attention. The cur- tains of the house were all lowered and the blinds were carefully shut, for it was very important that the spies should not learn of the formid- able force which was at work for their detection. The president opened the meeting with a few appropriate words about the responsibility of their position as sole defence of the town. She then called upon Thankful Pea- body to report upon what the first mission to be undertaken should be. Mrs. Peabody advocated that the so- ciety go in a body to investigate the grove near Silas Smith's house, as it had been reported that there were queer happenings there. The society, after some discussion decided to fol- low out her suggestion and go at once to investigate. However, the time of investigation was finally changed to midnight as that was considered to be the time when the spies might the most easily be caught at their wicked work. The ladies returned to their homes to await the appointed hour. their spirits buoyed up by the thoughts of the big headlines, the front-page pictures and tales of their patriotism which would spread over the country. About six minutes past twelve ex- actly a long line of dark figures might have been seen taking the road towards Silas Smith's grove. There was not a sound to be heard except the quick breathing of some of the rather stout members of the society. They filed quietly along the road and turned off on the path leading to the 22 THE CONY CUE grove. Their step grew noticeably slower as they approached the fatal spot. What if the spies should shoot or throw a bomb! This fear suddenly came true. A loud pistol shot was heard in front of them and a stern voice cried, I-Ialt! Surrender! Then before they realized what had happened they found themselves sur- rounded by dim forms and were sharply ordered to hold up their hands. All those who had not fainted meekly obeyed forgetting their boasted courage and the terrible things which they had threatened to do if ever they found these wicked spies. Then to their horror and amazement they were arrested in the name of the law as German spies on the charge of plotting against the government. It seemed that Silas Smith's grove was being used to furnish wood for aeroplanes and orders had been sent out to arrest any suspicious character seen about there. The members of the society, after spending one night in prison were bailed out by their husbands or in the case of those who had none, by some other faithful friend. The next day the association of spy catchers quietly dissolved and woe be unto the reck- less person who dares to mention that name to any of its ex-members. Nelly Milliken, '19. GHOSTS It was late when I left school that afternoon in February. It must have been about half past four. I had thought that I was the last to leave and so when I was half way down the' path, I was surprised to hear the door behind me open and bang shut. I turned quickly. I saw no one. Yet in the gathering dusk, I did see a girl running down the steps. I did see a girl running down the steps-a girl, yes, but how oddly dressed! Great big puff sleeves, tiny waist, great full skirt-why-it was the fashion of forty years ago! As I watched her running down the path, past me to the street, I heard the door open again. This time it did not shut. Again I turned. This time there was a number of girls and boys, the girls dressed in the same style as the one who had gone before. The boys too, were oddly clothed, it seemed to me, accustomed as I am to the modern styles of dress- ing. More, more and more. More girls! More boys! How they did come! girls, There were wan-faced little hurrying home to help. There were red-cheeked, laughing-eyed girls, arms around each other, gaily skip- ping down the Walk. There serious looking girls, discussing some point in their school work. There was here and there a girl, alone, hur- rying after some group gone before, waiting for someone who was coming or there was yet another lone one, too deeply immerged in her own thoughts to think of companions. WCYC And the boys, too, came 5 tall boys, short boys, fat boys, thin boys, all kinds and combinations., Light haired boys, dark haired boys, a few with red hair, brown haired boys, boys with red cheeks, boys with sal- low eomplexions. Whistling boys, TI-IF. 'CONY CUE 23 laughing boys, yelling boys, talkative boys, quiet boys. In short, there is no type of boy which was not in this assembly. As they came, I saw, here and there, some girl or some boy, who re- sembled some grown-up I knew. But I could hail no one. I seemed rooted to the spot. And though I could have touched them with my hand, had I been able to move, they did not seem to know that I was there. As I watched, I noticed that the styles of dress changed. They were becoming more modern. And now after this long review these last were the styles of only a few Years back. And who was that? Some one whom I knew. Of course they looked several years younger but I recog- nized them. More and more did I see whom I knew. Then came the class of nineteen eighteen. The steady stream began to thin out and as I turned toward the street to watch a laughing group of last year's girls, I heard the door slam shut and as it slammed the vision faded, leav- ing me to wonder who would see this procession on next year when our class had joined this interesting caval- cacle.

The story of the pitiful accident which occurred on the morning of February 30, at 4.00 A. lil. was alfectingly told by the plain- tiff and conhrmed by the witnesses. The defendant, on the morning in question, was cahorting and gesticu- lating around the silent policeman at the end of Kennebec Bridge. It was later proved that she was rehearsing her Senior Speech, having a license therefor from her teacher. The Ford approachedg one side proving it was recklessly, the other that it was slowly and cautiously driven. Lizzie Smasher, by one version was run down by, and by the other, ran over the said Ford. Her heated language, however, exploded the gasoline, blow- ing the body of the Ford through Bither's windows. The plaintiff was severely wounded, appearing in court in bathrobe, slings, and bandages. The witnesses were all sworn either to tell all lies, the whole lies and nothing but lies, or to mis-state all facts. A diversion was twice created by Miss Smasher rushing wildly from the court down among the audience, necessitating the frantic pursuit by the sergeant at arms. That ser- geant, he was hard beset to know whether to sit by the plaintiff or de- fendant, both being quite obstreper- ous. The remains of two Moxie bottles rested on the exhibition table along with the few remnants of Lizzie Ford that were not held by Mr. Bither in part payment of the damage done to his stock of goods. He got some re- turn by selling the tires for teething rings. The Moxie bottles were vari- ously proved to have been in the possession of Lizzie Smasher, and of THE CONY CUE 25 Josephus O'lDO1Dl1HI11. This brought up another interesting point that Liz- zic Smasher was very ferocious, and fond of using heated language, also being of a mild and sweet disposition, occasionally helping her husband with the housework. Mr. O'Popham was very temperate, tendcrhearted to such a degree that he could weep over ai niurdered anglewormg a confirmed Moxie drinker, so much so that he could be traced by the odorg a rough, flegeneratcd nature. After the lawyer's pleas, and the admonition of the judge, the jury, after no consultation turned in the verdict of guilty, The sentence that Lizzie Smashcr buy a pound o' salt and battery for the Ford was then pronounced and court was ad- jonrned.

THE CONY CUE THE PRINCES' QUEST A King, sitting On his majestic throne, Called his three sons to his side: The youths were stalwart, and strong and brave, And they were the old Kings pride. My sons, he said, Go far and wide, As far as the sun doth shine, And thou who bringest the purest thing, This Sceptre shall be thine. One Prince passed by on a coalblack steed, The oldest of the three, I must go far to find a prize, And I must win, thought he. The second passed on a prancing steed, The proudest of the three, I am by far the finest Prince, And I must Win, thought he. The next approached on a snow-white Steed, The huniblest of the three, He stopped and then disniounting, I-Ie plucked the lily free. Wliat can be purer, thought the lad, Than what God's hand has made ? And then the snow-white lily Upon his breast he laid. Three Princes stood hefore the Kingg Each laid his ofiiering down, The first, a sparkling diamond, The next, a jewelled crown. The King took up the lily, Witli its petals all unfurledg What can be purer, murmured he, Than God's gift to the world P Dorothy W.

They all give a good idea of their respective colleges and what they publish is not only interesting to college students but alsolto instruct- ors, alumni and others interested in the welfare of the colleges. The Bates Student issues a literary sup- plement once a month which contains excellent poems as well as abundant and interesting reading matter. The Boston University Beacon. This is a good paper containing many poems and also line stories. S La Manuel General is written en- tirely in French. In it are many in- teresting articles, besides a good ac- count of the work being done in the schools. The Stephens Tribute is a re- markably well arranged and printed magazine. The material is good and the headings are very appropriate. However your basket ball picture shows poor taste considering the final score of the deciding game for the state championship, of Cony 39, Rum- ford 22. The Quill. VVe admire your very extensive exchange column. The comments on these are especially good. T he X-Ray. This certainly is a paper that is diiferent. It contains a good exchange column and athletic department and jokes are not lacking. The High School Recordern is a well arranged paper. The cuts are good and the stories are abundant but the joke section is very small. The River Road Review. Your paper is small but good. The addi- tion of an exchange department would make it still better. The Hebron Semester has good departments. Additional space given to exchanges would increase interest in your paper. The Banner is excellent in every Way. It is Well sprinkled with cuts and stories and jokes are abundant. Every department is well represented. The Bouncer is a good magazine with an excellent exchange column, :1 good joke section and a well designed cover.
