Out of 157 stu- dents, 110 are taking a Commercial sub- ject. Have you ever stopped to realize how much it means for a high school student to have a knowledge of Shorthand, Typing, and many other things having to do with office work 'B It means that after gradua- tion a student is prepared and qualified to start a new life in the business world. One may continue his education in a business college or may be lucky enough to find a good job directly after school closes. When a person finds himself in an office where he is more or less on his ownv, his mind goes back to school days when he learned to take dictation, to typ e, to run a mimeograph machine, and to operate a mimeoscope. At Erskine this year we have enlarged our Commercial Department. We now have thirteen typewriters and a new mimeo- graph machine. The typewriters are all in good running condition. In February We bought the new electric mimeograph ma- chine which is far superior to the old one we have had for several years. Erskine is the second high school in Maine to have an electric mimeograph machine. In the Shorthand II Class, certificates are available for a certain number of words written per minute. This encourages a student to strive harder in order to receive these certificates. They are also helpful when you enter the business world as a written assurance of the exact number of words that have been taken by the person who is applying for the job. 1 Bookkeeping is another subject which helps the prospective businessman. With this knowledge, he will not be afraid to go into an office as a bookkeeper when he knows that he has had sufficient training to do the required work. In the Bookkeep- ing I Class, the outstanding student gets a pin for his year's work. The Bookkeeping II Class has a closet in the school building set aside for the sale of candy, pencils, paper, and other school sup- plies. This gives tuem experience in mak- ing change and ordering new merchandise. Under the direction of Miss Hancock, our Commercial teacher, the Bookkeeping students organize and print the school paper which is sold every month. With all this knowledge a student has acquired in high school, he will be able to go on to business college without fear of knowing too little to qualify. If, on the other hand, he secures a job, he will also have sufficient training to go into an office and to do his work without any major prob- lems, thanks to efficient preparation as of- fered at Erskine. Bessie Freeman Co-Editoi' in Chief ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS As I am a Senior and about to leave Ers- kine, I have some constructive criticisms to make about our assembly programs. The situation is that now we have but one as- sembly each month. I feel we should have an assembly every week or at least one every other week. What can a high school student gain by having assembly programs? Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, judgment, and courtesy could all be obtained by having the proper programs. First, let us visit the Commercial De- partment of our school and see what we can find around which to build forty min- utes of entertainment. We have some stu- dents who would like to become skilled in typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Why 'I 'H la' l'1NNA CLE I .u not invite an expert to speak on these sub- jects and explain to us about his or her experiences in this field. For instance, he might tell us why he chose this particular field, and the goal he placed at the top of the ladder which he determined to reach. Like everyone else he had to start at the bottom of this ladder and climb up to the top, step by step. This is not always easy to do. One should never get discouraged if the climbing becomes rough and a step is missed. Keep treading until you reach that next step-the final step to success. Encouragement to this end would be help- ful. It could be arranged to have interesting speakers for other courses, too. For those who are taking the college course, it could be important to invite a lawyer, doctor, or a teacher to explain his or her profession. Of course we would want to invite a suc- cessful, prosperous farmer or his wife to tell of their duties. All of you Senior girls with those beautiful sparkling rings on your fingers want to be expert housewives, don't you? A successful housewife could give you girls the advice which you need. By having these people come to talk to the student body, help will be given to some of us in solving the problem of deciding what occupation we would like to follow. These speakers would help us to increase our knowledge in a few of the many pro- fessions of the World of Opportunity. Wouldn't any one of these persons make an interesting assembly program? I am in favor of vocational guidance programs to supplement our present policy. Brm'bara Racklei C0-Editor in Chief IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION Is education important ? Perhaps this question sounds silly, however, if you con- sidered the number of boys and girls who do not continue their schooling because of various reasons, you would obtain a large figure. We all know that some quit school because of illness, lack of money, sickness in the family, but as a whole you will find that the largest percent of the young men and women of today quit school because of attractive jobs nearby. Many of the boys who fought in the war to help save our country were taken from their course of study, however some re- turned to school after being discharged. They didn't think they were too old to finish high school. They considered themselves fortunate to have the opportunity to con- tinue their education where they left off. Some even went to college for additional training after completing their high school course. Education is needed in order to make oneself into a well rounded citizen. One should obtain an education in order to equip himself for future needs. In the world of today the highly educated men and women are the ones who will secure the better paying jobsg therefore the peo- ple who are uneducated will be crowded from their occupations and will suffer many hardships. Christine Fowlc Associate Erlitw' TOMORROW ? Oh, what of the tomorrow Which follows each day here? Comes there pleasure, joy or sorrow To us here on this sphere 'I Though we hope, and plan, and scheme And dream of luxuries so rare, Though we wish, and though we dream, These are but castles in the air. 16 THE PINNACLE Tomorrow these castles will have fallen, And crumbled at our feet, And our dreams will be forgotten, When we our fates must meet. But, let us hope, and let us plan, And let us not despair, For very real to us, today. Are those castles in the air. Gale Rutledge '49 STUDIES AT ERSKINE There are three courses offered to the students at Erskine, the college course, the commercial. course, and the general course. If anyone is not sure which course to take he should discuss the different courses with the principal. The college course is for those who in- tend to go to college and become doctors, nurses and teachers. The main subjects under the college course are the languages, Latin, French, and English, also the sci- ences, Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, and Physics. To receive a college diploma, you must take four years of English, two of Latin, two of French, and Algebra, Geo- metry, Chemistry or Physics. The commercial course is for those who want to be stenographers, secretaries, bookkeepers or commercial teachers. For a commercial diploma the required subjects are Junior Business Training, Bookkeep- ing, two years, Typing, two years, and Shorthand, two years. The general course is for those who don't intend to enter any profession. In this course the students may choose any sub- jects from either of the other courses. There are required subjects with all of the courses, such as World History, Ameri- can History, and English. Besides the re- quired subjects in each course the student may also choose one subject each year which particularly interests him such as Civics, Public Speaking, or Problems of Democracy. Civics is mainly about the government and teaches the students a little about their country and how it is run. Public Speak- ing is a good class to join if you are shy in front of other people. After work in this subject you will gain confidence in aj, pear- ing and speaking before a crowd. It gives good training for a person who intends to be a radio announcer or a politician. The different courses are so arranged that the student may prepare for any pro- fession which they intend to follow after leaving Erskine. All of these subjects are easy if you will concentrate on them and study faithfully. Glenna, Cantwell '51 HONWARD ERSKINEN Here's to Erskine A school We all hold dear, Our love for thee Will last from year to year. The clanging of the school-bell, Outside the school-house door, Will make the Seniors realize, Soon, time will be no more, When they'll attend the classes here, As in the days of yore. The memories of high school days, Will be in every mind, Where'ere We go, or what we do, No better will we find. So here's to Erskine, Her majesty and fame, May we always be true To her glorious name. Helen M'u,rplLy '52 .- 'I'l-llu' l'I'X N7-lf 'l,lu' lf PM GLAD .VM NOT A SENIOR I'm glad lim not a Senior.

Although I may be the smallest one of the twelve I have held many impor- tant events. Many people have had birth- days while I have been in date. On the iirst Victor Herbert, a composer. has a birthday. He was born in the year 1859. On the fourth ffhas. Lindberg and Mark Hopkins have birthdays. Charles Lind- berg was born in 1902. He made the first non-stop airplane trip from New York to Paris. He had much courage to try it all alone when no one else dared to do it. Mark Hopkins, an educator. was born in 1802. As the fifth day of 1604 rolled around, a man named Roger Williams was born. When he grew up he became a preacher, a pioneer, and settled the state of Rhode Island. On the seventh day of 1812 Charles Dickens was born. As we all know he was a great poet, who wrote the Dickens, Christmas Carol , a favorite of everyone both young and old. He also wrote Oliver Twist and David Copperiield. Also on the seventh Thomas Edison was born in the year 1847. Edison was a great inventor who invented something which I doubt if anyone could get along without these days -the electric light. Next comes the twelfth day of 1809. Who was the man born on that day Y None other than Abraham Lincoln who was born in Hardin County, Kentucky. With the help of his mother he received his education with the few books that he had in his home, one of which was our Bible. Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States in 1861. During his presidency he freed the slaves which was a wonderful thing. .He was assassinated at the close of the Civil War between the North and la' THE PIQYN.-4 I 'LIC South, at the Ford Theater on April 14, in the year 1865. On the fifteenth of 1820 Susan Anthony, a reformer, was born. Another president? Well, I do declare! I guess just because I'm small they let me have the best so that I will stick around. This time it was George Washington, the first president of the United States. Dur- ing the Revolutionary War he held the rank of General. He was born in the year 1732 on the twenty-second day and became president in 1789. In 1865 George Frederick Handel was born. His birthday came on the twenty- third day. Handel was a composer. At the age of twelve he could play the violin, oboe, organ, and many other instruments. He produced the operas, Almina , Nero , Roderigo and many other famous com- positions. His greatest work was The Messiah . Handel became blind at the age of 67. Then still another musician was born. On the twenty-fifth day in 1873 Enrico Caruso, a tenor, was born in Naples. His voice was pronounced the most beautiful tenor that has been heard by the present generation. On the twenty-sixth of 1846 William Frederick Cody was born in Scott County, Iowa. He was and is better known as Buffalo Bill . He lived with the Indians until the outbreak of the Civil War when he became a Union Scout. He earned his name by killing 4000 buffaloes in 8 months. In 1883 he became head of the Wild West Show . Oh my! I thought I was going out of date without another important event but on the twenty-seventh of 1807 a great poet named Henry Wadsworth Longfellow made his appearance. Longfellow wrote the Children's Hour , The Village Black- smith , The Psalm of Life , and many other great poems. So much liked are his poems that they will live forever. Sometimes I have one more day after the twenty-seventh and sometimes two. Of course, there were lots of other birthdays in my times but none of them were quite so important as these were. These people are people who will never be forgotten. I will see many more birthdays both great and small as I come in and out of date. Do any of you have a date with me? I hope so. Whether yours is great or small I will en- joy it. A With all the hints I have given you, you must know by now that I am the month of February. Gloria Hafrmafn '50 THE STORY ABOUT THE WAR From the shores of the ocean To the great dark sea, My father and my uncle Sailed far away from me. They sailed as far as New York And then they switched to train, But before they had arrived in Europe They were riding on a plane. If you want to know what it's all about I will tell you with great ease. I guess I'll tell it in poetry form If you will listen, please. We had a war not long ago With Germany and Japan. Boys and men gave their lives To protect their Native Land. Now my folks are home safe and sound I hope they have to roam no more. They've done their part to win the war From Europe to every port and shore. Esther Prescott '50 l'H lu' I SENIORS AT A. Seniors who are so kind and dear, Will not be here again next year. We will miss them all I am sureg We hope they'll miss us even more. Carl will surely be missed by Polly. They are all so kind and jolly, Coralene and Phil are all too dearg But he will not be here next year. Mickey and Jane are true lovers: They'll be marriedf' say their mothers. Clyde Casey hasn't got a steady, Although he'll get one when hels ready. Let's tell all our Seniors here, That we'll miss them all next year. We hope they'll come to visit us, You're always welcome on our bus. Norma Fall '51 lf'UTURlG LEADICHS UF AlVllCRlCA Seniors, have you made plans for the future? Today you think, I can get along by working in the mill or doing odd jobsv but there will be a time coming when peo- 1. le will be more conscious of an education. Now's the time to plan for that future! What can I do 7 is a question that will be asked by many. This country offers op- portunities galore for anyone who reaches out for them. Many nurses, doctors, and teachers, etc. are badly needed. These pro- fessions branch out into various Iields. Here are some important factors to be taken into consideration: 1. Select a profession best suited for your ability. Aim for it by working as hard as you can. 2. Your reputation is the most impor- tant factor toward securing this profes- sion. Start building a good name when in 'lNiN.1lf 'l,l'. IH high school and this will follow you wher- ever you go. We are the future leaders of America so start today planning for that future. Thulin, Tmrrter 54.0 SPRING Have you ever stopped to think How wonderful is Spring? When the snow has gone away And the birds begin to sing. When the trees begin to bud And your heart feels light and gay Then there's the breathless waiting For each new and glorious day. When the sun is brightly shining And the grass is getting green. When the deer are calmly grazing By a brook so swift and clean You may see children playing So lightheartedly and free. Just after the winter's over ls a happy time for me. Bessie 1 'I'C6H1.lHL '49 AMBITION What is that we most desire? What keeps ambition's spark alive? What goal toward which we all aspire? What definite thing for which We strive? Ambition knows no final goal, No heights attained can still the tire, The urge from in the soul, Is driving us toward something higher. Each goal attained is but a stop, To help us upward on our way, The constant struggle for the top Makes life worth living day by day. So let us each resolve To keep alight that living liame Of energy, and will to do What lies ahead. For THERE, is fame. Mary Ellen Hold '50 JU 'I 'H E IJIXNA CLE THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER I HAVE EVER MET The most unforgettable character I have ever met was an elderly man who lived about three miles from the village of Nor- way, Maine. His name was Freeland Howe and he often stopped to chat with my aunt and uncle who also lived in Nor- way. Though he was eighty years old, he still talked fluently of politics, books, mu- sic and nature. He was a stout man, and fairly tall. His white hair, lpartially bald on the topj, and his flowing beard gave him the appearance of a very distin- guished man. No news ever seemed to es- cape the shrewdness of this fine old man. As he walked along slowly to his destina- tion. he was continuously tapping with his cane of knotted pine. He lived in a small, one-room, crude log cabin about a mile back from the main road. The room was poorly furnished with a stove, a small table, and a home made chair, and the odd stones and sea shells, which he collected, were kept on the narrow window sills in the hut. On a shelf above the window were many books, from music to politics. Around the crude log cabin were many bird stations, for Mr. Howe enjoyed immensely watching the different kinds of birds seeking shelter from the snow or rain and happily eating the bird suet. The birds all soon became very tame. In winter, the chipmunks would often come up to the porch and eat bread crumbs scattered on the snow. In the summer when it was very hot, Mr. Howe would cut his flowing beard as the birds loved the fine strands to make their nests. Mr. Howe always left the hair where they could easily find it. When it was very cold, and when the snow was on the ground, lVlr. Howe would strap on his snow shoes, and walk down to the tiny village to the little club called the Weary Club, solely for the men. There he would sit, chatting animatedly to his friends, and finally, after the town clocl' struck four, he would trudge wearily home to his hut, with a pack of food and the dai- ly paper. In the summer time, when the mountains are beautiful, he would sit on his small porch and watch the sun go down over the hills and twilight creep in. This was the time of day he said he liked the best. Since Mr. Howe often came to see us, I came to know him very well. Sometimes he played Beethoven's works on the piano for us. Many a time when my uncle and Mr. Howe had been talking about politics, and having some fun arguing about them, I would have to seek refuge ini an adjoining room to finish my studying, when their voices grew quite loud and excited. Mr. Howe was certainly a very intelli- gent, elderly man. who as well as reading, also wrote stories for the Norway news- paper and a few others, about politics, na- ture, and the history of Norway, where he had lived all his life. To me, Mr. Free- land Howe of the town of Norway, lVlaine, is the most unforgettable character l have ever met. Lorrwinc Wvfflflkl' '50 MINERALOGY 1 became interested in mineralogy when a friend of mine started collecting miner- als. His collection fascinated me. li start- ed collecting various rocks which l found in my location. Then my friend gave me some small three quarter inch specimens from his large collection. l11 collecting minerals the color, luster and beauty at- tracts one's eye. I received a Sciencecraft Mineralogy 'l'HlE' l'lN1N'.Alf 'l,l',' .Zl Manual for Christmas. This is a very good manual recommended by many mineral- ogists. It gives very useful information about minerals. A blowpipe is used in testing minerals for their fusibility . This is done by hold- ing a small piece of the mineral in the blowyipe liame. If the mineral fuses, that is, swells, it is fusible. An example is An- glesite. There are also color tests for minerals. By holding a piece of a certain kind of mineral in the flame it will color the flame crimson, pink, orange, red, yellow and pale violet. A fragment of Chrysocolla when heated in the blowpipe flame will color blue green indicating that it is an copper ore. Crystallography is a branch of Mineral- ogy in studying crystals and how they are formed. Crystals are divided into six different systems. Three systems are the Cubic System, the Monoclinic System, and the Treclinic System. Some minerals are not found exactly the shape of these sys- tems, but resemble them somewhat. While a crystal is growing it may be interfered with by some obstacle. Quick determination of minerals are found by using two tables. One table is called the Metallic Luster and the other is the non-Metallic Luster. These tables are based on smaller groups on the color, streak, fusibility and hardness. The minerals that are very valuable are called gems. Gems become valuable be- cause of their color, luster, transparency, and iire. Gem cutting and polishing has become popular. The cutting of gems is done by machinery. They are sawed by water wheels, then mounted on the end of a stick and held against a revolving wheel. called a lap. The gem is then polished on a butfing wheel. The gem is mounted in a ring or a necklace. Truly Mineralogy is a very interesting study. .lurnzcs H lL'HSU'H, H32 ADIOS The class of '49 wishes to bid goodby, To all the classmates we leave behind, The life we've led with you in Senior high, Has ended and new friends we must find. For four long years we've been here, Studying 'neath the old pine trees, Striving hard to build careers, That will help us in the future years. Now the time has come and we must go, We can stay with you no longer, But one thing we'll always know, Is that Erskine helped us to be stronger. Shirley A. Brown '49 RAINDROPS Many talk about the sun, With rays so bright and clean, It seems I am the only one, That of the raindrops dream. At night when I'm all alone, And shadows creep upon the wall, It seems I hear them so forlorn, Little raindrops as they fall.. But then I waken from my trance, And from within I hear a calm, I look, l see no little raindrop dance, And gone is all that magic charm. But then I realize that soon, Somewhere from the distant sky, The rain will break into a tune, A Blessing sent from God on high. Iifl.'l'lMlfl'l,l Amlwzws '52 JJ 'I 'H ly' PINNA t,'Llv,' IMPORTANCE OF AN EDUCATION Taken in its widest sense, education has seven great objectives. These are health, command of fundamental processes, wor- thy home membership, vocation, citizen- ship, worthy use of leisure, and moral character. In a democracy such as the United States an education is fundamental. The idea that the people should govern them- selves is an appealing one, but before self- government is safe a comprehensive edu- cational system must have made substan- tial inroads upon illiteracy and ignorance. Not only must the citizen of a democracy be individually capable, but his capacity to cooperate with his fellow men must be large. From both an individual and a so- cial standpoint, therefore, democracy de- mands more and more of an education than does any other form of government. Also, we who are in school have the op- portunity of assuring ourselves more hap- piness in the years to come. In an age like the present when competition in every field of activity is keener than it has ever been before, the prize goes not only to the person with the most initiative but to the person with the best trained mind and the most complete background. Truly, it is to our own advantage to get the most that we can out of the time we are devoting to our education. , Darizi PLL7 'llL6ILt6'I' '52 ERSKINE E stands for Engl-ish which we study hard R stands for rank that goes on your card S stands for students who sit in a row K stands for kindness we all should know I stands for ideas we have in our head N stands for numbers in algebra we dread E stands for everyone that comes here to school.

Hilda Bfrown, '49 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WORLD PEACE Representatives from all the countries of the world are meeting in New York to determine a very important issue, World Peace. The organization, to which the people belong, is called the United Nations. To call this organization United, is rather a rash statement to make. For that is cer- tainly not the case. Every day we read and hear about these nations who are bick- ering over who shall. get a certain terri- tory, what country will have the most rights, and who shall hold certain trade il'Hlu' l'lN1Y,flI'l,lu' .J-5' rights, We certainly shouldn't think that this organization is united and working for world peace. All they're interested in is their own countryls good. If this orga- nization is working for World Peace, it should think about the good of other coun- tries, not just their country. These fol- lowing suggestions should help to straight- en out this grave problem. Q15 World Government with laws for all countries to abide by, C25 History of the World for all school children to read in order that they may understand that their country was not always in the right, 131 World Languages for all people to speak and un- derstand, Q43 Equal distribution of all territories and goods among the countries to do away with poverty and suffering, C55 doing away with all racial prejudicesg C65 uniting of all armies and naviesg C73 a law which would keep any country from becoming a World Power, and C81 unit- ing of all churches and religions of the world. Until the United Nations works a plan in which all countries partake, there will be wars and more wars. Coralmzc Withen '50 HERBY, THE HERlVllT Our Herby went out one day to see A patch of woods and a honey bee treeg As at the tree he happened to gaze, A honey bee cross his eyebrow did graze. Now that did make our Herby jump. And he landed right on a hickory stumpg As Herby tried to pick himself up, Along the path chanced to walk a gray PUD- When he saw Herby that 1:-up did yelp. Keep still, cried Herby, or I'll have your scalp! But this the pup didn't seem to mind, So he journeyed on for a bone to find. Herby at last to himself spoke. Said he'd commence the tree to smokeg The bees at last all out of the way, He'd have some honey this very day. Having the honey in his pail at last, He then decided to get away fast. Herby was strolling along on the trail, Whistling a tune and swinging his pail. When all of a sudden something disturbed his thought, 'Twas the honey bees which he'd almost forgot. On honey our Herby had no money spent, Now where do you suppose those little bees went? Yes, those bees our Herby did scorn, But I fear the bees' message had already gone, A huge swarm of bees now flew through the sky, They had enough power to make that her- mit cry. f Around they would circle and now they had dived, All hit the target for which each bee had strivedg Now Herby did run for the little duck pond, For now he feared the bees he had scorned. Now as he sat in the watery foam, He started to long for a country-side home. He longed for a woman to comfort his hurts, Yes, he longed for a woman with long- swinging skirts. Sylvia M efrfrill '52 A -4 24 TH E I-'I N NA CLE MR. HIGGINS' DREAM On May 1, 1950, the Erskine Academy school building burned! What a sensa- tion to the pupils, but not to Mr, Higgins and the trustees! What were they going to do! As it hap- pened Erskine was having aweek's vaca- tion. They knew they had to have the school building built in a week. Mr. Hig- gins and the trustees worked on this for three days. Nothing happened! Two days before the school was to begin a miracle happened. Someone gave the school enough money to build the school and a gymnasium too. This school wasn't to be for 33 pupils. No sir, it was to be for 500 pupils. The carpenters started building a gymnasium and a theatre. Next came the schoolhouse itself g first a room for each class, then a room for each studyg downstairs a labora- tory, a workshop that would accommodate 100 boys, a social room and even a modern oflice for the principal, with telephone and everything. By Sunday the building was finished, so the boys and girls had to go back to school. Did they mind this? No! Not when they could go to such a nice school, for within a week Erskine Academy had acquired the biggest and most beautiful school build- ing in Maine. Maybe I told you, but if I didn't, I'm sor- ry, for you understand this is only Mr. Higgins' dream! Joan Clary '51 WHL .5 - . elif!

These are en- joyed by the students and neighbors. They are in charge of Mr. Earl Higgins. All of the classes have used classroom films as part of the sehool's visual aid program. These have added much pleas- ure and information to the student body throughout the year. CARNIVAL DANCE A Winter carnival was planned for Feb- ruary 24, but due to the weather, it could not be held. School let out at noon and basketball games, girls vs. boys, and Freshman boys vs. Sophomore boys, Were enjoyed by the student body. In the evening a movie, Wintertime, starring Sonja Henie, was shown, follow- ed by a dance. ' j STUDENT LEGISLATURE Six students attended the annual Student Legislature, held in the State House, Au- gusta, on December 4, 1948. There they visited the Senate and the House of Rep- resentatives. Those who attended Were: Joan Clary, a Representative to the Senateg Elaine Nelson, Sergeant at Arms, Belva Whita- ker, Secretary to the Maine Teachers' Assoeiationg and Christine Fovvle, -Mary Tibbetts, and Roland Jenkins Were Rep- resentatives to the House of Representa- tives. 5 J 30 TH E PINNACLE MUSIC AT ERSKINEH One of the best forms of rest and relaxa- tion as 'well as for improving the mind is through the medium of music in its vari- ous forms. Are you. ever in a sentimental mood? Need a little cheering up? I suggest as a remedy-music. Many people have fol- lowed 'such advice and found this to be true. I think it is especially true with our service menq There are times when they feel very lonely and long for home, but this is soon overcome when they be- gin singing. Even if some of them haven't the talent, just the singing helps to take up their minds and makes them happy and gay again. Perhaps some of the service men play the piano or other musical instruments, but all are relaxed by a bit of group singing of old and pop- ular tunes. Maybe you are in a crowded group waiting for something to happen. The crowd gets tired and weary. Start sing- ing, or if there is someone around who plays some kind of an instrument, start playing it. This will stimulate the crowd and the time will pass more quickly. Music is educational and it develops the mind to a great extentg therefore, I think that we should have more music here at E. A. Erskine pupils have the ability and the talent. There are many who have good voices, and others who can play different musical instruments. There was one instance in a school a while ago that was quite interesting. Of all the students, ten percent took music lessonsg the other ninety percent did not. When it came time for awards and prizes the ten percent of the school took ninety percent of the prizes. That goes to show you how music develops the mind. Yes, music is the finest and the most ap- preciated of all arts. Today, it is a very important factor in our lives. Through radio, movies, and the stage, music is the best form of entertainment. It will still continue to be a great success in the fu- ture years through the medium of tele- vision. This is why I think that music is a won- derful means of self-expression and we should endeavor to progress with it here at Erskine Academy, through added op- portunity to train in fields of individual or group expression. Music makes har- mony for young and old alike. Marie Gould '49 P. T. A. CHRISTMAS PROGRAM A Christmas program was presented to the Parent Teachers' Association on De- cember 16, 1948, at the Ford Gymnasium. The program was as follows: Solo, Beth Bolduc, Duet, Dona and Don- zella Bourassag Piano Duet, Marie Gould and Coralene Witheeg Reading, Wilma Holt, Duet, Regina Matthews and Bessie Freemang Solo, Joan Clary, Monologue, Nancy Johnson, and Chorus, Glenna Cantwell, Pauline Kitchen, Mary Alice Moody and Thalia Turner.

SENIOR PROM '48 The Juniors presented the annual Senior Prom for the Senior Class on May 20, 1948. The hall was decorated in blue and gold with multi-colored balloons. The music was furnished by Norman Moody's orchestra. Refreshments of soda and cookies were served, and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by those who attend- ed. Each Junior participated to make the evening a success. iQ THE PINNA CLIE JI SENIOR PLAY An important event for the Seniors this year was the annual Senior Play, Me and My Shadow, on the evenings of Novem- ber 24 and 25, 1948. The plot concerned a young East Indian girl who was picked from a railroad track by Roy Harrington and taken to his home while his wife was away. The Indian girl was unconscious at the time. When she came to, she declared she was Roy's Slave and he was her Master. Roy did not want any part of this, but to fur- ther complicate matters, a snoopy old gossip, Georgia Butler, telephoned Roy's wife to come back immediately. The cast was as follows: Gale Rutledge as ROY HARRINGTON. . a clean-cut looking attorney of twenty- two. Thalia Turner MRS. KING..Roy's mother-in-law. Janice Zwicker as ARLEEN HARRING- TON. .Roy's attractive young wife of twenty. Shirley Brown as SUSAN FISHER. .the Harrington maid. Paul Davis as BRUCE DOUGLAS. .a C good-looking, breezy young doctor- with a likeable personality, and assured man- ner. Hilda Brown as GEORGIA BUTLER. .a neighbor with a positive disposition, an intense curiosity about everybody who lives in the same block with her. Barbara Rackleif as SHADOW . . a mysterious Hindu girl. Mickey Farrington as HICKSON. .the county sheriff. Clyde Casey as SABU. .an East Indian mystic. The audience enjoyed the play both eve- nings and a social was held on the last evening. The play was directed by Mr. Earl Higgins. HALLOWEEN PARTY People who Weren't afraid of ghosts on October 28, 1948, attended the Hallowe'en Party at the Ford Gymnasium, sponsored by the Junior Class.

The Erskine boys' basketball team wound up the season with a record of seven games won and fourteen lost. Lack of height, experience, and players kept our team from having a better season. The season opened with the boys in line shape and spirits and, after a few games, looked like a winning team. At this point games were played with strong teams as Albion, Richmond, Clinton, Litchfield and Union, and although we had good games with them, the teams were too strong for our inexperienced players. At all times the boys showed line sports- manship, regardless of the outcome of the games. Much credit should be given Coach Silva for bringing these boys through the season. With only inexperi- enced material to work with, he led them through a fairly successful season. The players scored as follows: A Capt.

Starting the basketball season with only two regulars from last year, it was soon evident that there were other girls who would be good players with a lot of practice. The girls started prac- ticing in November with twenty-one girls trying for the team . Only a few dropped out later in the season. The first game was November 23, 1948, with Freedom Acad- emy. The Freedom girls Won over Ers- kine. Despite the slow start, they soon got rolling and established a record that hasn't been equalled at Erskine for ten years. The girls won twelve ofthe nine- teen games played. The scores were as follows: Erskine 26 ................ Freedom 26 L Erskine 32 . . . .

After Winning all their games in the Western Division of the Bulwer Basket- ball League, the girls met Rockport, win- ners of the Eastern Division, at Union High School on the evening of March 8, and defeated them 28 to 19 inathrilling climax which led to the championship. Not only did the girls possess the abili- ty to play basketball, but it was the spirit and the team work that was exemplified that placed them on top and made them truly the great champions that they are. All the girls on the basketball squad, ex- cept the Co-Captains, Hilda and Shirley Brown, and Marie Gould, will be back next year. Although these three girls will be missed next year, there is a bright prospect for another basketball season. This year the varsity letters go to: Elaine Nelson, Alena Ward, Mary Tib- betts, Elaine Dougie, Marie Northrup, Hilda Brown, Shirley Brown and Marie Gould. The J.
