CLASS OF 1947 Respectfully declicates this issue of the Gossip to the boys who are returning home from service and who have done their part in helping the winning of World War Il. It is so easy for us to send the boys away to the service and then forget that when they come back they have to have a home and friends, and not to be forgotten. Therefore the Class of '47 gives them the very best of luck throughout the future years, and an expression of our deepest thanks for service well done.

There are a number of ideas that will be used in future schools: Kal new and improved public address system, tbl a more complete field of sciences and mathematicsg fel more and better equipped manual train- ing schools, and Cdl the use of radios in the schools. The public address system is prac- tical, especially in the larger schools. The control system could be located in one central spot and have numer- ous outlets in the various halls and classrooms. One would speak into a transmitter or microphone to be heard through the school. The sys- tem is helpful for teaching and is edu- cational and recreational as well. It can be used as a future method of teaching also. In that same field is the use of television with its unlimited possibilities. We have observed throughout the nation, on the whole, that there isn't enough emphasis put upon sciences and mathematics. There should be a more extensive teaching of them, as this world that we live in becomes more and more scientifically inclined. How can we expect a lasting peace if we do not acquaint ourselves with the very things that make the peace? Our future citizens should be familiar with Parts science and mathematics so that they will be competent to participate in the affairs of the world. Then too, the government needs trained chemists and workers to manufacture and test our various inventions. We need more and better manual training schools, so that our young people will be enabled to choose the occupation that they are best fitted for. Such training as these schools offer would be a helpful as well as an educational and recreational pro- ject. These teach us skill, co-ordina- tion and dexterity. There are many of these courses in the larger schools, but I think EVERY school should have manual training. This is important in making our active citizens of the fu- ture well-informed and better fitted to keep the wheels of industry mov- ing. If every school of the future should be equipped with a short wave radio, or if not a short wave radio, at least a powerful transmitting and receiving set, then, this could be used not only as a public address system, but also to make contacts and to compete with other schools. It would teach children to overcome timidity and self-con- sciousness by having regular broad- casts in which all students could take part in groups. These are just a few of the things that I believe schools of the future will use to make the young people all over the world better acquainted with science, with world affairs, and with themselves. This is our big hope for post-war education. June Kilby '46 'S THE GOSSIP 7 ' 13 VALEDICTORY PROBLEMS OF PEACE Now that the war is Won and our boys are coming home, we are faced with the problems of peace. If much thought isn't given to these problems, we will be facing World War III. Since the end of the war, there has been much discussion about the fu- ture of the United States. Some of our most intelligent men are unable to find solutions to these peace problems, and it is our duty as citizens to do what we can. There are three major countries: the British Empire, Russia, and the U. S. Great Britain will probably go along with the U. S. The U. S. is the best sit- uated nation. We have many advan- tages, such as good seaports and nat- ural resources. The U. S. is one of the wealthiest nations in the World. Dur- ing the war years the U. S. had the greatest military power in the World, but during the past few months men have been discharged as quickly as possible. However, the U. S. will probably continue to be one of the largest military powers. Russia is one of the greatest prob- lems. Russia still has the greatest un- developed natural resources and the most powerful army, although its people are backward in development. She has made many demands, and is pressing her control in the Darda- nelles and bases in the Aegean. Russia refuses to withdraw from Iran and has announced her intentions of continuing with the development of the atomic bomb. She contributes little to the U. N. O. Although Russia says she doesn't want war in the near future, it maybe that she wants to develop her A power to equal that of the U. S. and Great Britain. France and China are important, although they aren't as strong has the three major countries. Both coiintries support the U. N.'O. and 'China'is'do- ing her part in the control of Japan. There are more than fifty smaller countries Whose importance varies lac, cording to the size and strength. fi To sum up what I have said, the four most important factors for keep- ing peace and preventing World War III are work with Great Britain, keep our military forces strong, tell the Russians where they stand, and sup- port the smaller countries. Parents, teachers, and friends: The class of '46 bids you farewell. We ap- preciate and thank you for what you have done for us during our four years of high school. We are going out into a world that is faced with the problems of peace, reconversion, rehabilitation, and ma- ny others. It is our sincerest hope to do our best in meeting these problems and working for a better tomorrow. Classmates: We shall no longer meet at D. H. S. as a class. As we part, I wish you the best of luck in every- thing in a future that we can all help to make a brighter and happier world. Eleanor Leighton '46 wk Pk 214 IF SALUTATORY Reconversion and the Graduate Parents, friends, teachers, and schoolmates, the class of 1946 wel- comes you to its graduation exercises. We have no one to thank but you that this day has come. We know that our past twelve years were hard years for us, but we also know that it was well worth our while. 14 THE GOSSIP Today as we graduate there is a lot of talk about our country and re- conversion. Reconversion means the state of ,changing back to peace time work after la war. It also means a lot to the millions of graduating students all over the world. Many girls and boys are not graduating this year or 'any year. Parts of our world are now in ruin. In these parts there aren't any schools for the willing boys and girls who would like to learn, so that they may have a future. These children have many obstacles in their way, few teachers, very few of the right kind of books, schools are not ready for them, and some who would like to become students of the school of learning have to work to help rebuild their war torn country. These unfor- tunate children seem to forget that the way for our generation to rebuild our world, is to go to school and get to know how to pave the way for the next generation and our future years. During the war there were many jobs for anyone who wanted one and high wages. Now these jobs have been cut down a great deal. The only jobs left, or seem to be, are jobs that graduating students would not like, knowing that they have graduated for something better. It will take a few years actually to get back to our regular peace time hours and ways. Until then we should find ways to help reconvert our country in our own way. That sounds odd, to have us reconvert, but with hundreds of other students doing the same things we would never think We have a big task. Some ways we students can do our part in reconverting is to take part in our country's, community's, and world affairs. Listen to the talk that is about the world, about things that are happening and be able to voice our opinion, not some else's. It makes the graduating students feel a little uneasy to hear about all these strikes. How can he get on? How can anyone get along if he is going to disagree? He wants to go out in a world of peace and not a world of riots, disagreements, and hard to get along with people. We love our country, high school- ers especiallyg we would never want to live in another country. The Unit- ed States comes first, this we have no question of. Martha Sanford '46 if ik Il' Ik FIRST HONOR ESSAY The Housing Problems of Today Today we have many problems facing us. The war is won but yet much has to be done. Lack of housing is one of these problems. It is not just the problem of your own community but of our whole nation. Our veterans are returning home now in hopes of buying for themselves and their families. They find there are no homes available. While they trav- el about in search of homes they find their money being decreased by the high rents being charged. Our veter- ans find only one explanation in their minds: Homes were all taken by oth- ers while the service men were away in the fox-holes. The farmers who left for the cities to work in our war plants are not re- turning to their farms. They found life easier in the cities. During the war the farmer got a taste of shorter hours and better wages. These farmers are now stay- ing in the cities waiting for factories THE GOSSIP 15 to reconvert to the peace time level. It is their plan to get jobs in these factories again as soon as they begin producing post war products. The farmers tool have an argument to give for not returning to the farm. Today farms are decreasing in number but increasing in size. Farming is be- ing, done on a larger scale, and yet fewer men are needed. The modern inventions have cut down the need for help on the farm. There are smaller reasons also which help to increase the housing problem. The older people today do not need the companionship of their children as they formerly did. With the telephone, radio, automobile and modern movies old people are main- taining their homes longer. Another factor tending to increase the need for homes is the ease of mod- ern divorces. The wife and husband decide they don't love each other any longer and decide to separate. This causes each to have separate homes. In case they had a boarder there would be three separate homes need- ed. With this country working hard to establish a world peace the problem of housing is a great task. Because of the war torn countries in Europe which need building materials, and our country is helping to supply their needs, there is a shortage of building materials in our own country today. There are still many homes in this country today which are being sold. The prices which these homes are be- ing sold for range from 310,000 to 830,000 which is far in excess of what any ex-serviceman or the average A- merican can afford. Homes are needed so quickly and to such a large extent that the use of prefabricated houses has been sug- gested. Prefabricated houses can be built quicklyiand with gwernment control prices can be set sof that the average American can laiord one. Long term loans have been suggested to the ex-servicemen so they could af- ford a home and have time to pay back the money borrowed. ' Our government is today confront- ed with the problems of providing homes for our returning veterans. With the other problems of organiz- ing world peace this is no easy task. Alton Ward '46 Ik wk Pk 41 SECOND HONOR ESSAY Food Problem Food has not only become a prob- lem to the people of America but to worn torn countries of Europe who face starvation. There are millions of men, women, and children in Europe and other parts of the world who are undernourished and in great need of food. It is up to America to feed the world, or shall America be responsi- ble for the death of millions from starvation? America has not only got to help feed Europe, but she must supply enough food to feed her own citizens. The United States has come out of this war one of the most powerful na- tions of the world and, therefore, I think the obligation of the United States of America to her Allies is to help feed the hungry. If this country refuses to help and a great many of those people die, then the things for which we fought will again be in dan- ger. They say we fought for freedom and justice, the foundations of democ- racy and peace, but where, there is 16 I THE Gossip . hunger and shadows of both death and disease there is no peace. Many veterans returning from the war have taken up farming for a fu- ture occupation. Farming has become av very important industry because of the high demand for food. The pro- duction of food will increase if manu- facturers can increase the production of farm machinery. Probably more food would have been produced if the strikes had not delayed the produc- tion of necessary equipment. During the war when help and machinery were at a premium, the farmer met the responsibility of food, so there is no doubt they can do it now. Ways in which the citizens can help the food shortage is not to waste any food, but to conserve it. The house- holders should reduce their purchases of wheat to 40 per cent and fats to 20 per cent. The use of wheat for live- stock feed must also be conserved to lessen starvation in Europe. Public eat- ing places should use no more than an average of two pounds of flour per customer per week. This is why they should use more dark flour than white flour. There are many German prisoners here in the United States who have to be transported back to their own country. If they are shipped back now it will make the food problem even greater over there. I think these prisoners should be left in this coun- try for a while to work on the farms and help produce the food needed in their own country. So now, I think it is up to the farm- ers of 1946 to produce all the food they possibly can. If each and every family plants a garden this year it will help a great deal to lessen the food situation. i Shirley Ward 41 IK 4' Ill THIRD HONOR ESSAY Petroleum in The Post War World During the war gasoline was the main factor in deciding the fate of each nation. While it was being used in war torn areas, we at home, were feeling the want of it. We began to realize what the world would be like with no gasoline or still worse with no petroleum products. It has been said that there is noth- ing petroleum cannot do. The amaz- ing part is that our research has only begun. Strangely, no one knows where pe- troleum came from. It has been stored deep in the earth for millions of years. Scientists have been able to establish quite convincingly that its source must have been animal or vegetable mat- ter, or, maybe both. Thus it seems that the energy which drives your car, came from energy imported by the sun to plants and animals. When they died petroleum was formed. When kerosene was first put on the market, gasoline fthe by-product or waste productl was dumped into riv- ers and evaporated. Then came the invention of the gasoline engine and from that time until the present day gasoline is one of the chief products of petroleum. We have a habit of saying that cer- tain motors are very powerful. It is not the motor but the fuel it burns that is powerful, as strides are made to produce better gasoline from which more energy may be extracted. We are gradually finding out how to im- prove motors. At present we think . 1. .'l-i nl , ., K.1-A .nuff -.-A THE Gossip 1 .L 19 - ,CLASS COLORS As .president of the Senior Class of 1946, to me has been assigned the task of telling you the story of our class colors. We chose the colors blue and silver when we were sophomores and have proudly carried them for the past three years. To us blue is a symbol of loyalty, as we have always been loyal to our school. Silver is the symbol for peace and in combining the two they show that this class has always been peaceful and loyal to our teachers and school- mates. The class of '46 wishes to pass on these colors to the incoming class of 1950 with best wishes. Alton Ward '46 III Ii 8 1 ACCEPTANCE OF COLORS I deeply apreciate the honor of be- ing chosen to accept, in behalf of the class of 1950, these colors of blue and silver. Throughout our high school career we shall endeavor to exemplify the principles of citizenship and study which this class of 1946 has left us to follow in our high school days. Erlin Leighton '50 41 sk Sl il CLASS PROPHECY I have before me a magic crystal ball. With it I am going to try to locate my classmates as they are ten years from now. The first place I see is very fam- iliar-Keith Kilby's store. I see there have been some changes. June Kilby looking very dignified as usual, is seated at the desk in the dry goods de- partment. A certain Eastport boy is rushing around waiting on customers. Their business is certainly prospering. I see now, a little white -farm-house up on the Charlotte road. Children are playing around the doorgfand an man and a woman are standing in .the.door- way. The man is my classmate George Carr, and the woman isjgf- of course, Elizabeth Kilby. s I 1 As I look again I see a court room. A lawyer is questioning someone on the stand. As I get a better view, I see that the lawyer is none other than Alton Ward. It looks as though Alton is going to be a very successful law- yer. I see before me now a large city. As it comes closer I see that it is Bos- ton and a large office seems to stand out. Inside, Martha Sanford works as a private secretary. On her desk is the photograph of a young man. It is autographed, Love, Eddie . As I look into the crystal ball for the last time I see a very attractive living room. A man and a woman are seated before a fireplace and the man is holding a little boy. Of course, they are my old classmates, John Mac- Lauchlan and Shirley Ward. John has become a very successful farmer and he and Shirley look very happy. I have had a glimpse of all my class- mates and it has brought back many fond memories. I am glad to see them all so happy and wish them more suc- cess for the future. Eleanor Leighton Just one moment, Eleanor. Let me see the crystal. The next person I see is Eleanor Leighton standing beside a Dead River truck. She is talking quickly and it seems heatedly, to someone. Look who's inside, an old friend Edwin, Hoot Mahar. It seems they still like to argue with each oth- er as much as they ever did. v 20 THE GOSSIP CLASS GIFTS This year it was decided that I should present the gifts to the Senior Class of Dennysville High School. I sincerely hope that these gifts will serve to remind you of many happy days spent at D. H. S. 'Eleanor to June Kilby: To June, I give this little Hudson so that when Roy's breaks down they won't miss any dances. Eleanor Leighton: I give you this P. T. Boat, Eleanor, so you can go to meet John. Martha Sanford: This book on How to Dance in Ten Easy Lessons is for you Martha, so you and Eddie can perfect your Rhumba. Shirley Ward: To you, Shirley, I present this bride and groom set. It is to be used on yours and John's wed- ding cake. Boys: George Carr: I will give you this book, George, on How to Win Friends and Influence People . It might help you later on. John MacLauchlan: To you, John, I give this little book. It is to keep all the telephone numbers. Alton Ward: Alton, I'm giving these bobbypins to you to help keep that wave in your hair.

A Joan Keeler, who has become mar- ried to Harold Werple by accident, is tryiiag to get a quiet divorce. Mrs. Keeler, who thinks Joan is happily married, comes to the house, and while there, meets Dorothy Van Straaten, Harold's fiancee.

Pastime, did I say? Nay, it is virtually a lifetime proposition. For instance, it's this way: I arise bright and early and fresh in the morning. As we live quite a way from any shopping center, it will be nearly noon before I arrive. Of course the salesgirls will be out to dinner, but never mind, I have a memorandum, in just a the shopping will be over few moments. No aches, no pains! Any similarity, between that last statement and the blythe assurance of your friendly dentist, is purely in- tentional. Just as you have succeeded in snar- ing a salesgirl, or at least caught her eye, and decide upon the object you wish to purchase, you hear a, not so faint, Halloooo! You turn as if mortally wounded only to find yo,ur best friend beside you. The cry, some- thing between that of a dying calf and that of a fatally struck soul in bodily anguish, has been given by Jimmy, Johnny, Sally, your best friend, remember? But be honest pal, if they were your best friends, would they do that? I thought not but to con- tinue. Amid friendly advice and en- thusiastic criticism about the desired purchase, you are induced to purchase this, that or the other. Then, feeling somewhat like the hero of a one man raid, you are about to saunter indif- ferently toward the doorway, when NYLONS is shouted. In a split sec- ond, there is a mad rush and you find yourself carried along with the crowd. What a dizzying, whirling, madly fighting, mass of feminine humanity. When you finally reach the counter you discover to the salesgirls' appar-A ent surprise and distress that the last pair of nylons have just been sold. 22 THE GOSSIP This, however, does not dampen the salesgirl's spiritg she cheerfully pro- ceeds to show you some delightful samples of cotton stockings, size 8 1j2. It does not seem to matter, of course, that you wear a size 9 1l2. Finally you get out of the store, into the fresh air and stagger away to the depot to take a bus or a traing or if you are a for- tunate soul you may have a car. To- tally exhausted you thankfully relax a- gainst the cushions. All cares are for- gotten, for the moment, and you de- cide that maybe the day was worth the struggle. When you reach your destination and go into the house, someone shouts, Did you get this? that? etc.? You smile horridly, for, alas, the thought occurs to you that you may have forgotten something. All too true. You discover that you left the most important of your pur- chases somewhere along the way. But never mind there'll be another shop- ping trip soon. June Kilby '46 Dk Pk bk Pk FIRST HONORABLE MENTION A Better World or a Larger One A post war world means a sort of lazy world to me, and won't that be grand? Just think of the things that we won't have to do in the home that we have been slaving over for years. Of course this is only a teenage's idea of the wonderful world. I call it won- derfulg mom would probably call it laziness. I think of many things as I go from day to day, and I have summed it all up like this. I will give you an idea of how I like to live. I'll let you in on this muchg it will be a world of ease. First of all we will start with the morning, as that is when we begin the day. Wouldn't it be wonderful if: We had Frank Sinatra to sing, Theres a Hot Time in The Town of Berlin to wake us up each morning. We had a nice cozy room in the morning and some automatic device to take off the light covers over us. Then if we are too tired to rise, how about a magic mattress that will raise us up so we won't use too much energy? We go to get washed, push a but- ton and water comes trickling outg another button and the face cloth is next, ditto a third time and catch the soap as a place in the wall opens up just after we receive the wash- cloth. Step on a pedal and a towel will be seen coming out of nowhere. Press the buttons and the articles you have been using will go nicely back to place, much to please mother. We would have a button to push and a maid to rush out and dress us and get us ready for school. We press another button and our breakfast comes in on a slide to us. We are now sitting on a plush lounge. We were out late last night, so we are tiredg being this way, we have an escalator to take us to meet our auto- giro. By this time our pilot has a red plush carpet out, so we won't get our shoes dirty while crossing from the es- calator to the plane, and oi we go to school and try to get there on time. We meet some of our friends as we dip in and out of the hills. We invite them to ride with us. I'm afraid we are going to be late, so all we do is turn on our portable television set and tune in on our class- room, and take our lessons from there till we get to school. ' HH' .U fn' I 1 I 1 i THE GOSSIP 23 Once at school two pages dance up to us and take our books and wraps. Then we begin school. We want our algebra book, it is in our desk. Why lean to get it? We don't have to. All we do is speak lightly, not to disturb our classmates and say sweetly, Al- gebra , and before we know it we have it in front of us. When our teach- ers ask us for our papers, a leather covered table comes up beside us on the row, and we put the papers on it, and they automatically go sliding down to the teacher in order. You may wonder where our algebra book comes from. Well, that was a micro- phone We just taked into. We do the same when we want the teacher, no more snapping the fingers or such. It is now lunch time and our maids rush up to us with a nice hot lunch and plush seats to sit on. CI rather go for plush seats and things of that kindj. If we are too tired to chew our food, we are given pills, and they serve as the same things as our food, and have just as many vitamins. Things like this can go on for ages. We can have mechanical dishwashers and Cmind if I coin a word?J puta- wayers. When we have automatic laundries and ironers, why we will never have to lift a hand! We will be told of course by the very old fashioned that We will get very stout doing nothing. We will fool them. There are many things that a person can do without working, and not gain weight. We can ski, swim, iceskate, roller skate, play golf, dance, slide, play basketball, ,foot- ball, and softball, besides horse back riding, all of which we enjoy every minute. Oh! What a. wonderful world! Dear me, some one has waked me up out of a very pleasant dream 3' please let me go back to sleep.flVIay,beisome- day I won't be dreaming. 'Maybe someday I'l1 have a house thatrre- volves with the sun, push button com- bined, and a television set in my hel- icoptor or just in my possession. Martha Sanford '46 PF PF HK PF SECOND HONORABLE MENTION Waiting for the School Bus I had much rather do dishes or any other thing than wait. Waiting for the school bus every morning gets on my nerves. Of course I like to go places: but when I'm ready, I want to go and not have to wait two or three hours for something else. Every morning I have to wait for the bus. It's better than walking I will agree, but it surely gets on my nerves to wait. I'm ready about seven-thirty each morning for school. Then comes the hard part of it all, sitting around with all my outdoor clothes on. After get- ting so warm I sweat, then I go out doors. There I wait a while until I get coldg then back to the house I go to store up more heat. g Some mornings I do this three to four times, other mornings I just get into the house to get warm when the bus comes, and I have to go to school with cold hands and feet. By the time we all get to the school- house, I'm nearly frozen. But life is life. Barbara Brown '48 24 THE GOSSIP Editorial FIRST HONORABLE MENTION . Juvenile Delinquency Juvenile delinquency has become an important incident in the Work of our law enforcing bodies today. Many cases are arising which are juvenile crimes. The young people of today are not entirely to blame. Now the war is over and the parents have more time at home, yet it does not seem to reduce juvenile delinquency. Not e- nough parent control is given to the children to take care of the ever in- creasing crimes by juveniles. Parents could help reduce the ju- venile crimes more than any of our law enforcing bodies. If they should give the child more attention and help to influence them in the correct ideas, it would be a great help. They also could see that their children at- tended schools and got the education which was being provided for them free of cost. With the correct influ- ence the young people could be made into helpful citizens of this country. They could see there was a better fu- ture in doing right than in doing wrong. Many young boys and girls belong to gangs which they themselves make up. Parents should look into the work they are doing and prove to the 'ld whether or not this is a good org' iza- tion for them tb belong to. In this country 4-H club is a great organiza- tion and provides part time amuse- ment for the young people. It gives the young folks something to do to keep the mind occupied and also pro- vides good times for the young peo- pe. The ever increasing threat of ju- venile delinquency will not be stamp- ed out by punishment of the guilty person or party. The parents too must do all in their power to correct this at home and set the young people of A- merica on the right track so they will grow up to become helpful American citizens who will be the head of our government in the years to come. Alton Ward '46 Ik HK IF il Editorial SECOND HONORABLE MENTION For A Better World It is the tradition of the Americans to rush to the aid of those in distress. Such a tradition is not born only of the natural charity in the heart of Amer- icans. It is born of remembrance. It may mean darker bread, less al- coholic beverages, even, perhaps, the rationing of food again. Yet who could object, who can object? We must all share and because We share, others will live. How its-.sh do we appreciate this land of nz xs? How grateful are we for our freeuom? Do we realize that for every minor hardship we endure, in other countries it is many times worse? We are not forced to givgg money to the Red Cross and the War Loan drives. We are merely asked to share and we should all share alike. We are called upon chiefly be- cause We have been blessed with a- bundance. That abundance may come of enterprise, skill, hard work and foresight. But we are also blessed. Marjorie Lund '49 HF ill IF IF WORLD POWER OF TOMORROW As things look today we shall have another war with all the World pow- ers. They will be united under one power. The war will be principally F THE GOSSIP between the United States and Rus- sia. The United States is going to ad- mit the Philippine Islands as a state which will make forty nine states. Germany and France will come in on the:side of the United States. -Germany and France are supported by the United States, which makes a scarcity of food in our country. We should have a better and stronger government to control Russia. I think that Germany and France should furnish themselves with food so We could have more ourselves. We should build more factories, newer machin- ery, more homes and farms, and make this country the biggest and strongest country in the world. Colon Morrison '47 Guy Cook '47 Editors 4' if if Ik First Prize Short Story A BLUE STAR TURNS TO GOLD Sometimes the smaller children poked fun and called them names, but Franco Del Amico Wasn't ashamed of his name nor that his parents could speak only broken Engish. His par- '3ents had come fron. Italy, but Franco had been born in America. He had studied about Italy and heard his father tell of its great men. They were Americans now, there Was nothing to be ashamed of. They lived in a small town in eastern Maine. Their home was furnished better than some for they had known many hardships in the old country and their money was not to be wasted. Still they were known as those Italians when peo- ple spoke of them. Hardly anyone knew his name was Franco Del Amico. To everyone he was known as Lucky . When he told I Q.. Q 25 people his name in his heavily accent- ed English, they asked him to repeat and always a look of disapproval spread over their faces.'Lucky seem- ed to be just what his name implied, always the happy-go-lucky fellow., For Lucky there was fun in everything? but it was always on his mind that he' was that Italian boy . Lucky graduated in June of 1943 and the following December he was eighteen. Things happened fast after that. A month after he had become eighteen there was a blue star in the window of those Italians . Lucky was proud of his chance to prove to the people in his town that he was an American and loved his country as much as they did. The snow was falling softly when Lucky said good-bye to his parents and his girl, Carolyn. He didn't seem to take even this seriously. Rather jokingly he told his parents to look after Carolyn for him and Carolyn assured him she'd be waiting when he came home. It was June, and Lucky was coming home. He was a different Lucky, quiet and serious. It had been new and ex- citing the first few months and he hadn't minded taking orders. His of- ficers and buddies liked him and ma- n I rote home about their buddy, Sgt. Lucly, they called him, who never complained and seelned to have all the luck. During the first few months the crap games, boxes from home, week-end leaves, and talks with the boys about their girls had off-set hard- work. Now he was tired of it all. To him now it was just a hard daily routine and the very thoughts of it made him bitter. People had said the war couldn't last long, but Lucky 26 THE GOSSIP could see it was going to be a long hard war. Lucky had turned more and more to religion since he had been in the army and he had found it very comforting. Back home they had gone to church every Sunday, but it seemed more important now. He wrote his mother once when he had heard a rumor about being shipped overseas, Letters may be few and far between, but don't worry, Mom, because God will see me through. Remember how we always called it luck, but now I know it was God who was always with me. He'll help us over all the rough spots. It was good to get home to his par- ents and Carolyn, but Carolyn seemed uneasy when she was with him and finally he asked her if something was the matter. It was hard to tell him she had found someone else. She tried to explain to Lucky that he had changed, that he had grown up all at once. She said the war was probably to blame but Lucky didn't wait for her to ex- plain anymore. He went back to camp that night, as bitter and discouraged as he was when he came home. Months passed, and he heard with great joy the rumor that his company was being shipped overseas soon. Since his furlough Lucky had been getting into a lot of trouble. He got intpmfights ev ytime he went into towrl and'M: P32 were always locking him up. At camp he didn't joke any- more. He wasn't the good-natured carefree fellow they had known the first few months. Finally the chaplain talked with him asking him if there was something wrong. Lucky wouldn't tell him and kept getting into trouble. One day Curly told him he had been issued all summer Clothing and the rumors were getting hotter. Some even said their destination was the South Pacific. Lucky hadn't been issued any summer clothing. Perhaps Curly was mistaken. Curly O'Neally had been Lucky's closest buddy since they entered the army. They were so fond of each other that Lucky sometimes introduced him as me brudder, Curly . Curley even stood by Lucky he changed so much. Lucky Curly wasn't mistaken, and he that secretly it was bothering after knew knew Curly too. The next day they went out drilling in the field and they practiced with live ammunition. All the boys were excited and some admitted a little scared. There was an accident. No- body knew how Lucky happened to get in the way. It all happened very quickly and they 'iinew before they reached Lucky that he was gone. Curly put Lucky's head in his arms and cried, over and over, Lucky, speak to me, Lucky. Lucky's eyes opened and he faint- ly mumbled, Don't waste tears on me, pal. I'm not worth them.. He stopped a moment and then continued in his heavily accented English, Tell Mom dat I love her and Pop. He squeezed Curly's hand very, very slightly and said so faintly that only Curly heard, God bless you always, brudderf' His body was limp in Curly's arms and the tears streamed down Curly's face. All the boys had known that Lucky's dis- charge papers were coming through any day. They knew he couldn't stand the humility of knowing he had been dishonorably discharged from the service of his country. Curly knew it and he might have thought Carolyn to blame but as it was he thought God ' ' g . Q.: THE GOSSIP 27 had given Lucky the easy way out. Curly was sent home with Lucky. His parents knew only that there had been an accident in the field that no one could account for. As the discharge papers hadn't come through Lucky was still in the U. S. Army when he died. In the par- lor lay Lucky Del Amico when Curly, Whose Irish heart was filled with sor- row, went in to say his last farewell to a buddy he would never forget. It was November, 1944, and the blue star had turned to gold in the window of those Italians in a little town way down in eastern Maine.

It was a morn- one feel glad to be a- were singing, the sky blanket warmly tinted an occasional cloud in shape, floating lazily across it, this last seeming to enhance its beauty rather than to mar it. The Warmth of the day was of a lovely lazy kind, and the young green grass wassoft and springy to the touch. This was how it looked to me as I stopped by the hedge and called, Ronnie! Oh! Ronnie! Ronnie was our next door neighbor. He was the traditional scape goat of the neighborhood, the family confi- dante and general handyman. His name wasn't Ronnie. It was Ronald S. Camford but everybody called him Ronnie He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, with dark unruly hair that would not stay in place, a vital glowing complexion, and, in contrast to this, he had start- ling blue eyes. He was about six feet tall and had the build of an athlete. If anyone wanted anything, at any time, he asked Ronnie. Ronnie had answered me mean- while. Coming out of the house, he vaulted the boxwood hedge that sepa- ated our property and came swinging up the graveled drive with a free and easy grace that comes only from living out of doors most of one's life. Ronnie, I repeated, a trifle im- patiently. What seems to be the matter, Mi- lady Anne. He was very fond of nicknames. You'll never guess. I'm going to spend my vacation in Maine. What's so wonderful about that? he asked. It's been done before. Where are you going? Kittery, Ban- gor, Portland, Augusta? No, I replied rather hesitatingly, I want to find an out-of-the-way place. I then consulted a map of Maine, which I had taken from my pocket, and found a small town near the sea- coast. I said goodbye to Ronnie, and pro- ceeded to the railway station, where I bought a one-way ticket. Then I came home and ga efed sufficient luggage for a short 'ip iif the gnear future. The day that I picked for my journ- ey can only be described as terrific. The weather report had said, Cool and clear. It was cool all right, but by no means clear. The day started with a slight drizzle, and before we reached the south-western boundary of Maine, it was a downpour. The con- 28 THE GOSSIP ductor looked at me and asked me where I was going. When I told him he just sighed and shook his head. At this queer response I felt cheered: this then must be the typical inhabi- tant of Maine. When we reached the village about midnight, I got oil' the train expect- ing to see a bus or a reasonable fac- simile. To my surprise, I was ap- proached by an exceedingly odd in- dividual. I said, Is this Bayview? Yes! this is a nice view, my friend replied. Noi No! I said, Is this the town called Bayview? We'uns ain't got no town hall. It was burnt down last year or so. Is there something I can do for you? a voice asked. I turned around to find a young man beside me, definitely amused and making no effort to conceal the fact. Is there a bus or something to take me to the hotel? I asked. No, ma'am, he replied. Just ol' Lizzie, my Ford, that is. I was thunderstruck. No bus! I took a deep breath, Where and what are your hotel accommodations? I asked courageously, and are you the chauf- feur? As for the hotel, there isn't any, but you can put up at my Aunt Ag- gie's. She takes all the tourists- Young man, I am not a tourist- I began, And I take people. . . And I take people where they want to go, when there are any, which there usually aren't. This talk was beginning to get on my nerves, so I agreed to go to this person's aunt's. Come on, Uncle Jed, said a blythe companion. The Odd Individual as I had already named him, came over and got into the Ford. I must say he did a better job than I did. Just when I felt that I was mounting most grace- fully to the seat, I had a decidedly sickening sensation. There was a loud RRRRrrrrrrrrip and I felt a cold rush of air. Alas, I had stepped on the hem of my ultra-stylish ensemble, otherwise known as a travelling dress, and had torn a piece, about afoot long in it. Uncle Jed merely said one word, Wimmen . There was no mis- taking the implication what-so-ever. We reached the house and I went in as quickly as possible because of my natural inclination to hide my torn skirt. On the way down I had found out that my humorous companion's name was Hemingway, Larry Hem- ingway. The fact is , he had said. These people aren't my blood rela- tions, I haven't any. We entered the house, it was a traditional Cape Cod cottage furnish- ed neatly, if sparsely. It had a com- fortable lived-in-atmosphere and I literally fell in love with it. Aunt Ag- atha, as she was called, was a red- cheeked, grey-haired, rather plump woman in her early fifties. She had a merry twinkle in her eyes, that came only of long association with ease and contentment. To me she seemed the typical mother, often portrayed in poems. She did not seem to mind that no one had previously forwarned her of an unexpected visit. Why, ma'am, you must be pretty near worn out. Here, let me take your coat-why there's a most terrible rip in your dress-wait'll I fetch a needle, and murmuring she went in search of it. Meanwhile, Larry had picked up my suitcases and was leading the way through a picturesque living-room to , THE GKOSSIP 29 a bedroom at the rear of the house. I was -too tired to notice many details of theroom, and I fear that I fell a- sleep shortly after making prepara- tions for bed. When I awoke, the sun was shining through the windows of the dearest room imaginable. Aunt Agatha, as I called her in my mind, had sewed the dress with neat, precise stitches. It was truly a magnificent job. I got up and went outside, into the sunshine. In the daylight the cottage was ev- en more attractive than I had sup- posed, the night before. It was low, and white and vinecovered, and what was somehow unbelievable, it set on a narrow neck of land putting out into the cold blue Atlantic. From where I stood I could see the waves hurling themselves, ruthlessly against the storm-furrowed, time-worn ledges. Then I heard a voice. You, Ma'am, the sun is up, and look what I have al- ready. I turned to discover my newly ac- quired friend Larry, still wearing a most engaging grin, holding up a large fish. He said he had caught it while tending his lobster pots. In the sunlight, I noticed things a- bout his appearance that had escaped me the night before. He was tall, as tall as Ronnie, but OH! the contrast. Ronnie was dark, Larry was golden. His hair and skin were fair and his eyes were the stormy blue of his be- loved Atlantic. He had a frank, dis- arming grin. Altogether it was a very satisfactory appearance to say the least. h After consuming a superb breakfast of hot rolls, home cured bacon, eggs, doughnuts and coffee, I sat down to write: I F Q Dear Ronnie, I1 Maine has my vote, you should be here, the weather is lovely and so is the fishing.

She was walking down her drive- way when she saw a small girl riding by on her tricycle. She was going quite fast and a little dog was running a- long beside her. Then all of a sudden a black cat ran out of a building right in front of the little girl with her tricycle. Of course when the dog saw the cat, he ran after it as all dogs do. They both ran right in front of the little girl. The little girl was so frightened, she coudn't think and didn't have time to stop her tri- cycle. She ran right into them and up- set her tricycle. She got up from the sidewalk and staggered out into the street and fell down. Jane, who was just walking down her driveway, saw all this and rushed down the street in terror. When she got about fifty feet from the little girl, a large fire engine came Jane gir-l's way. roaring down the street. When saw that, she ran to the little side and shoved her out of the She had just got the little girl out of the way when the fire-engine was right on top of them, and she scream- ed with all her might.

As luck would have it the truck knocked her out of the way and left' the limp body lying on the side walk. By that time quite a crowd was gathered there and people were yell- ing and pushing, but after a while the cops had Jane out of the crowd and into an ambulance. She was rushed to a hospital and examined immediately. She had a large cut on her right leg and was badly shaken up, but there were no serious injuries. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she asked about was the little girl whose life she had saved. The doctor told her she was fine and told her to look in the bed beside her. To her surprise she saw the little girl with a bandage around her head. She looked very white and sick. Then the doctor told Jane what a brave little girl she was to have saved the child. Jane's heart swelled with pride to think she had endangered her life to save a small child who wasn't large enough to Rik after herself.

D. A. R. CITIZEN The faculty was invited by the D. A. R. to select a girl from the senior class to represent -Dennysville High School for the current year, who has slfown through her entire course the fol- lowing qualities: dependability, lead- ership, service, and patriotism. The girl chosen was June Kilby. She at- tended the meeting of the D. A. R. at Augusta on March 20, at which a state representative was chosen. SCRAP PAPER DRIVE Last year we held a scrap paper drive and during the first semester of this school year we received our mon- ey for the scrap paper. We thought that the public would like to know that that money went for a worthy cause. The school purchased a piano which they might move into Edmunds Hall, so students could hold dances there. AMERICAN LEGION AWARD The Cobscook Post No. 59 Ameri- can Legion has announced that it will of a medal to give an annual award the best all around girl and boy of the senior class. The Post boy or girl who is to will select the receive the a- ward, after consultation with the teachers and the members of the graduating class, who will vote separ- ately on the five qualifications as set forth. The qualifications are boys: honor, courage, scholarship, leader- ship, and service, girls: scholar- ship, courage, companionship, char- acter and service. Those selected were Alton Ward and June Kilby. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The Dennysville High School invit- ed the grade school on December 21. to observe a Christmas- program. Each school had a tree, both beautifully trimmed. A group sang Christmas carols, then we had the exchange of gifts. As a treat mixed nuts and candv were served by the faculty. Dance mu- sic was played by Mrs. Roy Tuell. Miss Geneva Tuell, and Mr. Long more. THE GOSSIP 33 THE LIBRARY The librarians of Dennysville High School are Joan Antone, Barbara Brown, and Irene Dudley. They check the books in and out, besides collect- ing dues and books. This year they have accessioned the books. Phyllis Rogers was the librarian the first semester. During the year seventy- five dollars was spent on books. The beautiful covers of the books attract- ed much attention, and the students eagerly awaited for their turn to check out a book. We are indeed for- tunate to have twelve or more maga- zines and a daily paper for the school. THE PEP SQUAD The cheerleaders of the Dennys- ville High School were very active at all the games. They wore black skirts and white blouses which were very attractive. They wore chokers with a D. H. S. emblem. The cheerleaders were Martha Sanford and Eleanor Leighton. They appointed Mae Mar- shall, Susan Lingley, Constance Cros- by, Helena Mahar, Elizabeth Kilby, and Ruth Crosby to assist. All the school cooperated splendidly and made a fine showing of enthusiasm at all games here. SELECTION OF RED DEVIL AS EMBLEM Everyone in the school had a choice for an emblem for the school. Many suggestions were made, and the three that had the most votes were voted for. Nearly all the votes went to the Red Devils, so the Red Devil is our school emblem. THE CROWELL-COLLIER MAGAZINE DRIVE The Crowell Publishing Company campaign was held November 7-19. All the students participated in get- ting subscriptions for magazines. The school was divided into two teams called the WAVES and the WAACS. June Kilby was captain' of the WAVES and Carolyn Marshall was captain of the WAACS. Alton Ward was manager and Ruth Crosby was as- sistant manager. All students who sold at least one subscription were treated with ice cream. The profit made on these subscriptions was used for the athletic fund.

The girls wore short dresses, one long and one short stocking, a big red ribbon in their hair, one high and one low heel shoe, they also wore their hair in pigtails. The boys wore rouge, lipstick, ear- rings, patched pants, an old farmer's shirt and their shoes on the wrong feet. The proceeds were 8521.28 which went to the senior class treasury. Harvest Dance The Freshmen Class held their har- vest dance at Dennysville High School November 23, 1945. From the large crowd it cleared S6.28..,, llhe High School was attractively decorated with blue and yellow, aiidf the letters Harvest Dance hung overhead. ATHLETICS PHYSICAL EDUCATION Throughout the physical education program, the faculty has attempted to provide a source of fun, improve the social behavior of the students, de- velop emotional control, cooperation, teamwork, to overcome a sense of self- consciousness, and to -develop loyalty and school spirit. In the classroom and in the train- ing program, students have been taught the harmful effects of narco- tics, the necessity for obtaining the proper amount of sleep, for choosing the correct balanced diets, and the proper amount of exercise. In each class the home room spon- sors co-operated with the school nurse THE GCSSIP 35 in preparing the required information necesary for a better understanding of each child's health. Heights, weights, and vision tests carefully re- corded have been discussed and many interviews have been held with stu- dents and the nurse. The first two months of the school year the boys and girls played ball outside on the diamonds near the school daily during the activity peri- od, except on inclement days. Directed games, folk dancing, and music were offered on rainy days. Early in November much enthusi- asm was shown for basketball. The high school was given permission to use Edmunds Hall for the school year and basketball practice became a part of the regular schedule. Mrs. Munson appointed Mr. John Longmore, Jr. director of boys' ath- letics and Mrs. Grant, director of girls' athletics. Later Mr. Steve Tjaden volunteered to assist in coaching both teams. Either Mrs. Munson or Mrs. Grant was present at all of the girls' practices? and Mr. Longmore super- vised thefbo s. All the s dents helped raise money for athletics by obtaining magazine subscriptions. With the splendid pro- fits from this campaign and with the profit realized from the basketball games and the concessions, necessary equipment, travelling expenses, and operating expenses have been provid- ed. These funds have put Edmunds Hall in fair condition, ,have provided wood, purchased one new basketball, repaired one, bought score books, in- flation needles, a catcher's mitt, six baseball bats, nine baseballs, and have financed the team's trip to the Wash- ington County Tournament. The team was reimbursed 314.30 by the tourna- ment committee later and received 555.45 more as its share of the tourna- ment proceeds. Any fundsunexpended at the close of the baseball season will be used to purchase equipment for next year. Since the close of the basketball season, baseball has progressed as much as possible, interrupted now and then by out-of-season snow storms. During these lulls in training, Mr. Longmore has held practices for all high school boys and the seventh and eighth grades for intramural games to select the champion class. Throughout the spring months the girls have resumed their activities of the autumn, softball, games, and folk dancing. The faculty and the students wish to thank all who helped to make this year's activities financially secure, those who assisted in any manner with equipment or with their time, and all those who so enthusiastically encouraged the teams. The town's loyalty and support in the past years has becomefa tradition, and this year's spirit has brought all the school a deeper appreciation of that tradition. 12 dl Ik Sk . BOYS' BASKETBALL The Dennysville High School Boys' team was invited to enter the Eastern Washington County Tournament and lost its game to Calais Academy. Although the high school started a basketball team in September, 1943, it did not carry it through and this is the first year it has had a team since. The boys learned much from watching the boys of the larger schools play in the tournament and in each game of the season.

All the girls in the school took part in this activity. PK 'lf SF PK GIRLS' BASKETBALL Our basketball season began in De- cember with eleven players.

We all certainly ap- preciated it. We thank the cheer leaders, Mar- tha Sanford, Eleanor Leighton, Mae Marshall, and Elizabeth Kilby, as well as the school. It surely helps a lot to know the school is behind us, while we're in there fighting. The team wishes to thank Mr. Steve Tjaden for the good training he has given us. The entire team won letters.
