To say that I am pleased with the faculty and student body would be an under- statement, The spirit of co-op- eration and friendliness demon- strated by you has amazed and de- lighted me, A virtue that most Cornish High students seem to possess in excess is self -reliance, After asking that something be done, I have been able to devote my time to more important tasks than constant checking of small details since I know that my wishes are bzlng carried out thoroughly. This self-reliance is a thing that you want to develop to its fullest de- gree. Don't require someone to watch over you every second. Be able to see a job through, on your own, from beginning to end, It is with sincere regret that I say good -bye to the Senior Class. Your work this year has been very fine indeed. Remember that even after graduation the faculty stands ready to advise and assist you in any way possible. Before I close I would like to mention briefly the new General Rules. Every society has found that it needs laws to govern the actions of its members. The school is no exception. For this reason the faculty this year decided to draw up a list of laws which we called the General Rules. These laws or rules were created to help both the faculty and student body, We think that they, in some small measure, have helped us to have a successful school year, May I take this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks to the entire faculty and student body for making this one of the most pleasant and profitable years I have experienced in the field of Education, This Page Sponsored by BENSON MONUMENTAL WORKS Cornish BABE DAY'S ROBERT 5, PIKE VARIETY STORE Cornish Cornish Editor, JIM SWASEY Business Manager, BILL PEASE Assistant, DONNA LIBBY Assistant, JANET PARKER Advertising Manager, GERRY THOMPSON Literary Editor, BETTY SMALL Assistant, NICKY WATSON Photography Editor, BILL BROOKS Art Editor, PHIL SMALL Sports Editors EARL BELL SALLY SMALL IIM STEWART Alumni and Exchange Editors JEFF CARPENTER, BETTY STONE 1 1 This Page Sponsored by N, J, GENDRON LUMBER CO. RINES' MARKET Sanford Cornish I I After spending twelve years of my so far very short life in the elementary and higher grades at the Cornish schools, I have come to realize the need of a larger and more efficient center of learning for our community. The school is not only inadequate in space, but lacks facilities which are needed to cope with today's trends and the country's needs. Probably the most needed thing in our school, as well as in similar rural institutions, is a math and science course which can give a student the best pos- sible education before entering college. One answer to this problem is for small communities, like Cornish, in the country to work together to provide for consolidated schools. If they don't cooperate, working as one, I feel that the specialized education of the youth today and of the future gen- erations will suffer. There is nothing that could be closer knit than our schools, be- cause young people quickly make lasting friendships which will benefit them in later life. A consolidated school is where the children may learn at the work and expense of several towns instead of one. A consolidated school can provide for the needs of any student whether he wishes to be a scientist, astronomer, aviator, chef, or salesman. A high school, in one town, with its limited amount of money to spend can barely provide the necessities for good learning. Do you want your boy or girl to start on his road of life without an adequate education? If not, you the people, must work toward consolidating the school in your community. Editor Www 504514 . The outstanding achievement of the yearbook staff has been to produce a book of lasting memories and a collection of ac- tivities completed in our past school year. Our work could not have been completed without a faculty sponsor, and for this we want to thank Mrs. Skillings who gave her time, patience, and ideas. We want to show our deep appreciation by setting aside this small portion of our book to her.

To nine members of the Class of '58, this was the reward for three years of working and saving for the Class Trip to Washington. At about 8 p.m. the bus arrived, whereupon we excitedly climbed aboard for the trip to New York. We arrived in New York at about six Mon'day moming and checked into our rooms at the Shelton l-lotel. The highlights of the day were the United Nations guided tour, the view of New York's skyline from atop the R.C.A. Building, the special Easter Show at the Radio City Music Hall, and a walk on Broadway in the evening. Monday night was spent in New York with the bus leaving at 7:30 Tuesday morning for Pennsylvania. The route took us over the New Jersey Turnpike into Philadelphia where we toured Independence Hall and passed the Betsy Ross House. From there we proceeded to Valley Forge which is now restored and maintained in much the same manner as it was during the Revolutionary War. Tuesday night was spent at the York- town Hotel in York, Pennsylvania. Wednesday morning saw us heading for Gettysburg where we toured the National Military Park. In the afternoon we visited Skyline Caverns in Front Royal, Virginia. We arrived in Washington at about six o'clock. The next three days were spent in Washington, where we made our headquarters at the Harrington Hotel. In Washington we visited the Lincoln Memorial, the Ford Theater, Washington Monument, the Library of Congress, the Capitol, the White House, the F. B.I. Building, and the Smithsonian Institute and talked with Margaret Chase Smith at her office. We also went to Mount Vemon and spent a morning touring the grounds of the spacious mansion on the banks of the Potomac. The changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arlington National Cemetery and the Statue of the Raising of the Flag at Iwo Jima were very impressive. At about eight Saturday morning, we wearily boarded the bus for the trip home. There was a stopover at New York where we changed buses. We were scheduled to arrive home about nine that night, but due to bus trouble it was 3 a.m. Sunday morn- ing when nine dead -tired, but nevertheless happy, juniors finally breathed that good old Cornish air again.

Q gggg S, Asif? r axiom The Juniors make up the largest class in the high school this year with its members divided quite evenly throughout all activities. There are five girls and five boys, each contributing their share to basketball. The lineup, girls and boys, in that order, is as follows: Janet Parker, Betty Small, Sally Small, Gerry Thompson, and Norma Sargent: Earl Bell, Nicky Watson, Jeff Carpenter, Gene Day, and Paul Wentworth. On the cheerleading squad there are Elizabeth Small, Janet Parker, Mary Goodwin, and Gerry Thompson. The class officers elected at our first meeting were President, Janet Parker: Vice President, Nicky Watsonp Secretary, Carolyn Pease: and Treasurer, Elizabeth Small. The school's track team wouldn't have been complete without these boys from our class: Nicky Watson, Jeff Carpenter, Gene Day, and Paul Wentworth. As a special activity, Elizabeth Small was entitled to participate in the spelling contest. We have had a great deal of fun sponsoring sales and dances throughout the year. Our biggest project to help earn money for our class trip is the selling of all -occasion cards. To Mrs. Hartford, our advisor for the first year, we want to say thank you for the time, patience, and wonderful ideas she has given us.

Roger Berry and James Tufts contributed to the success of the school's cross country team. The Sophomores sponsored the Freshman Reception and Dance and James Stewart did a wonderful job as master of ceremonies.

The play revolved arotmd an ambitious young chemist, his wife, and the people who boarded with them. The chaos they all produced while trying to sell an invention was hilarious and fast moving. Despite the fact that lines were left out, and doorbells didn't ring at the right times, the audience appeared well satisfied with the fruit of our labor. We, the Seniors, want to thank Mrs. Bucknell for prodding us along and making our play a success. We certainly appreciated her help and interest in out class.

Along with the church choirs of Cornish, Limerick, and Kezar Falls, our Glee Club took part in a Christmas program at Pike Memorial Hall in Cornish. Mrs. Carpenter has planned to enter the combined choruses of Cornish, Limerick, and Porter in the Western Maine Music Festival. We will be known as the Ossipee Valley Chorus.

The sounds of music that you can hear at the Brooks' house every Wednesday night come from three saxophones, one trumpet, a violin, piano, trombone, and drums. Already this year we have played in public and hope we pleased those who attend- ed the Senior Drama and P. T.A. Christmas Concert. We want to reserve this paragraph for Herbie Wentworth who is always with us. Thank you, Herbie, for the many long hours you have spent with and for us. We cer- tainly appreciate all you have done to improve our orchestra.

Gerry was unanimously elected head cheer- leader. We sponsored a boys' and girls' basket- ball game with the Alumni to earn part of the money for new uniforms. Using the money earned during the Curtis Magazine Drive, which was greatly appreciated, there was enough for our new outfits. After cheering in only two games Gerry unfortunately was injured in a basketball game and could no longer cheer. Nancy Stewart gained a spot on the squad, and Betty Small was elected head cheerleader.

Last year we lost two very important players who were our catcher, Keith Rankin, and our shortstop, Leonard Day. Because of this loss, our baseball sea- l if son for '57 was not quite as successful as we had hoped, although we succeeded in placing second in X' the League with a 4-2 record. 7 X, 'Q V The track team did very well this year, winning every preliminary league meet. The boys really put into it their best efforts. Several of them, because of illness, were unable to participate in the State Meet at Orono, thus giving the school the first -defeat of a perfect season. We feel that our cross-country team has established a good record and will be a challenge for others. We, as a team, would like to thank our coach, Mr. Nisbett, for all the help and guidance given us in gaining the trophy in our league. This Page Sponsored by KERR'S BARBER SHOP A FRIEND Cornish Cornish gow ' 2 Ten boys, an even distribution from sophomore, junior, and senior classes, en- joyed the basketball season this year with their new coach, Mr. Nisbett. The team as a whole was not too successful with only a 6-13 record, but there were several individuals who brought recognition to themselves and the team. They were Nick Watson, who was chosen for the All-Star Team, and Gene Day who partici- pated in the foul shooting contest. This year Jim Swasey and Glen Rankin went to the games with the team as managers. The outlook for next year's team is very good with the loss of only one senior, David Parker.

The blizzard of '52 will always stand out in my mind as a very amusing event, Just to think that my family and I were out in it is extremely funny, It happened that we were caught in the blizzard as the result of a weekend trip to Boston where my mother, sister, a neighbor, and I went to see the Ice Follies, We had reserved rooms at the Hotel Manger and had plans for a gay weekend, During the day, Saturday, we had a wonderful time shopping, attending movies, and eating. That evening was enjoyed also at the ice show,which was a fascinating spectacle. The following morning was damp and rainy, a miserable day for anyone to be out, so we lingered around the hotel lobby and the large waiting room in the North Station. Among all the newstands and small shops in the station was a huge weather map which kept showing bulletins of heavy snow predictions for the Portland area, Stubbornly we refused to believe such nonsense. We were very comfortable and didn't pay much attention to the weather as we boarded the six o'clock train home, As we reached Lawrence and saw that the rain had turned to snow, we sat up and began to take notice. The nearer we came to Maine, the deeper the snow. When we reached Portland, there were eleven inches on the ground, and because of the weather my brother- in-law was not there to pick us up. We waited! Many people in the same situation were falling asleep on their baggage, others were becoming hysterical, but, I, wide awake, went to the entrance to watch the drifting snow. While there, I noticed a fuffled -up pigeon perched at the window above the door. After a cus- todian of the station had taken him down, I took him inside to thaw out, He apparently had gone astray from his flock, got trapped under the station roof, and become frozen, After a two hour wait with him, my brother-in-law arrived, half nauseated from driving through the oncoming snowflakes, When we left, I placed the pigeon on a sheltered ledge outside the station. At a slow crawl through the deep snow we managed to reach Standish where we were for- tunate to be able to follow a snowplow which went straight through to Cornish. Although it took us four hours, we finally reached home. By this time the snow was two feet deep, The neighbor who was with us was determined to go home that night, but when we came to let her out our back door, we couldn't even open it because of a large drift outside. She stayed with ug, In the morning the storm had cleared leaving nearly three feet of the white stuff, Our neighbor, although anxious to return to her own home, was not able to get there until five days later, because the back road between our houses was not plowed out, When we began to shovel ourselves out, we had banks down both sides of our driveway so tall that it was impossible to throw another shovelful of snow over the top. We then had to haul it to the The fellow across the street actually had a tunnel into his front door after removing the snow irmn his sidewalk. Even xc ugh this storm was tragic for some, work for others, it was a lot of fun for me. - James Swasey '58 O This Page Sponsored I:'j'f LEE'S AUTO TOP CO. TOM TAYLOR'S cg .IN MOTOR CO.

You'd think I'd head the honor roll working like this every night, But in class when I answer a question, it just never seems to be right. It's seven o'clock already. I never have time for fun. Play rehearsal! Oh, I forgot! Whew! I must change and run. I wonder what the others are doing. I've studied all aftemoon. I forgot all about play rehearsal. Now l'll miss Name That Tune. Hurry! Hurry! I mustn't be late. Friday we have the play, Then l'll drop these books on my desk. No homework this weekend. Hooray!! - Gail Hamilton This page sponsored by SCOTT'S PARKING FOSTER.-AVERY'S CARR BROTHERS SERVICE Portland COMPANY Portland Portland 746194 '7.4'oue l love the dew in the moming As it clings to each flower and blade, I love the sound of the meadow brook As it winds its way through the glade, I love the sparkle of raindrops On every leafy tree, The heart-lifting tune of a songbird, And the lazy hum of the bee. l love the summery breezes, And the wintry wind so cold, The beauty at height of a falling star, Its shining trail of gold. The moon1ight's glow across the lake, The peace of a country lane, The dashing waves on the ocean shore, The frost on a window pane. There's beauty all around me From earth to sky above. These are the simple things of life, These are the things I love. - Gayle Hamilton 7 I don't know whether or not you have ever realized it, but television commercials actually cause great mental agony. For example, the other night l was watch ing an unusually dull western, Everything was calm and peaceful until suddenly the sheriff and bandit came face to face in a gun fight. Of course, the sheriff had the drop on the bandit and in a flash pulled the trigger. Just then came a voice, And now for a word of interest to our listeners. How does this cause mental agony? That poor bandit waited a whole minute for that bullet to reach him. - William Pease 77uwtc2e At last, tryouts for cheerleading have been completed, and six happy girls have been chosen by the faculty. They are Betty, Gerry, Mary, Bonnie, Joyce, and Janet, Tonight we must have our first practice. All the newly-elected cheerleaders arrive at the gym at seven o'clock sharp and change from skirts to Bermudas. The first order of business is to discuss last weekend's dates. It seems that, while Tom and I had a ball, Joyce didn't have a very good time. All at once Betty spies a green and white Chevrolet and launches into a complete, detailed account of what l said to him and what he said to me. Janet, as usual, clamors for attention so that she may tell us what cheers she can do and how terrible she looks doing them. Honestly, Janet, won't you ever stop worrying about how you look? That's Mary, the only cheerleader who isn't boy-crazy. Bonnie has just demanded Nick's name in Roll Call or she won't cheer, As I have just been elected Head Cheerleader, I decide it is about time to cheer a little, but Alasl Curfew for Bonnie and Mary, so we leave with a promise that we '11 get down to business next time, This is the untold and uncensored story of cheerleading practice. Next time you watch our perfect timing and the accuracy with which we coordinate words and actions, you'll know it's because of our long hours of diligent practice, - Gerry Thompson This Page Sponsored by BROWN'S MOBILGAS STATION TRIANGLE FILLING STATION Standish East Baldwin TWO RIVERS POULTRY FARM Lirnington Jfmfe Wa?
