This decision, prob- ably the most important step ever decided by the two classes, was not a hasty one. Both Mr. Pirnie and Mr. Harriman introduced the subject at respective class meetings, from there it was taken up by the members of the classes. Questions were asked, opinions were expressed. Ample time was given for clear constructive thought. Before taking a final vote, a discussion was held among the two headmasters, the faculty advisers to the yearbook, and two representatives from each senior grade. The latter relayed the pros and cons to the rest of the seniors. The result was an af- firmative vote. The first problem that arose was: what shall we name our combined yearbook? Naturally we wanted it to be perpetuated in the future, there- fore, in view of that hope, the staff decided to let everyone from the seventh grade onward have the chance of naming it by means of a contest. In this way the student would feel more allied to the yearbook itself. When the contest was over, a committee made up of nine members of the yearbook staff met and considered each entry. With an eye to original- ity and appropriateness for future editions, the Pinnacle was selected. Webster defines pinnacle as being the summit, or highest point, of any- thing. With this in mind, the committee deemed it a fitting name for the yearbook. One of the crowning achievements of six years' work is the pub- lication of one's own high school yearbook. In this inaugural issue of the Pinnacle, perhaps the greatest single ob- ject which we have tried to achieve is something new or something dif- ferent. We leave you after reading our production, to decide whether we have accomplished this. . It is the sincere hope of the Pinnacle staE that this combined yearbook will provide the impetus needed for a UNIFIED school system in Exeter. THE EDITORS-IN-CHIEF. PINNACLE 1949 t i 2ed6cat'6an Mr. Hatch, more than anyone else in Exeter High School, has completely captured the affection of the Class of 1949 because of his friendliness, his interest in each one of us,Qhis sincerity, his fairness, and his thor- ough understanding of our problems. And so in recognition of these attributes, the Class of 1949 sincerely dedicates to Robert Lincoln Hatch, this, our Yearbook. W 'Rh 1949 PINNACLE 4 iv Dedication In order to express our heartfelt gratitude for her sympathetic interest in our problems, and for her friendly ejjiciency as our adviser in handling them, we, the Class of 1949, dedicate this Pinnacle to Mrs. Frances W. Irving.

SCENE: Robinson Seminary, Exeter, New Hampshire. TIME: 1943-1949. CHARACTERS: Class of '49. Parts I and II 1943 - '45 With a group of fifty boisterous girls, we begin our six-part story. Per usual, the young seventh grade girls wandered through the large front door, glanced around, and then meandered uncertainly into the large room, number five, taking any seats they could find, and making sure that those seats were as far as possible from the teacher's desk. Miss Tufts made a few introductions, and then to the dismay of everyone, she had us line up according to height. Thus the short girls sat in the front seats, and the tall girls in the back seats. It always takes the seventh graders several weeks to find themselves as well as the rooms in the Seminary, and we were no exception. The girls are always timid at first, scarcely daring to speak to the older students and the teachers. K In the middle of the year, the school schedule was changed from two sessions to one, a welcome revision. The second fall we moved across the hall to Miss Crowell's room. We thoroughly enjoyed playing the role of big sister to the little lost'souls who entered the building for the first time. It is amazing how grown-up one can become in just a short year. The months passed quickly. In the spring, the Legion Medal of Honor was given to Claire Williams. At the close of school, we learned that Miss Crowell had resigned. We were fortunate to have had her as our home- room teacher. Part III 1945 - '46 Under theauspices of Mrs. Johnson, our home room teacher, we had a carefree freshman year with four subjects instead of the dozens all of us had had during our eighth grade year. Among the many things which endeared Mrs. Johnson to our hearts was the fact that she let us choose our own seats. 1949 PINNACLE 51 To the girls who had attended Robinson during the seventh and eighth grades was added a group-from St. Michael's, thus making forty-seven girls starting in the senior high grades. At sports we were exceptionally poor, a fact which has continued throughout our last four years. We had a good team for all our sports, but something always went askew when it came to winning our games. The only game we won was a soccer game which we played with the eighth grade. The most popular assembly speaker of the year was Roland de Bois, the singing jeep driver. The rough rides over the uneven terrain of the Sem- inary yard Were fully enjoyed by the girls and the teachers. Miss Jaques ably acted as principal for three years, but in April, 1946, Mr. Pirnie returned from the service to take over the job he had left. Part IV 1946 - '47 We were in the study hall that year. We rushed into the room, and saved seats for our friends near us. Miss Coombs soon dashed all signs of happiness from our faces by bringing to light a seating plan. Since we were in the main room, it was much easier for us when studies came, because it was not necessary to take to classes six thick, heavy books, as we had had to do in previous years. ' With the help of our class adviser, Mrs. Irving, we chose our class rings. Actually they were similar to those of the former year, but we were very proud to have them. We were soon busy making elaborate plans for our one dance of the year, the Sophomore Hop, which was to be given in December. It was a success which gratified many, and encouraged us in regard to the money proposition. Our first acting ability was asserted in small plays at the assemblies. Advice Aplenty was given in competition with the freshmen who were declared the winners by popular vote. Collectively, our sports still were not good, since we won no games. Taken separately, however, we had athletic skill. Two girls were on the hockey team, and four girls were on the basketball squad. At the end of the year, we were also very sorry to learn that Miss Hag- ar, our music supervisor, and Miss Coombs were leaving. SA 52 PINNACLE 1949 Part V 1947 - '48 The class was divided into the three groups: secretarial, business, and academic. That placed half of the girls Linder Mrs. Keene's care and the rest under Mrs. Bennetts This was the first important year for our treasury, because we had to have money for the Junior Prom. Doris Mobbs really clamped down on us for our class dues which increased each year. Class meetings became more numerous as we had important 'matters to discuss, mainly our Junior Plays and our Junior Prom. In November we put on a barn dance. This was received -enthusiastic- ally, and we were thirty dollars richer. Nothing could hold us back now! On March 23d, our second attempt at drama was made. Two one-act plays were presented at the High School. So Wonderful CIn Whitey , about the nursing profession, was directed by Mrs. Irving. Mr. Arnold directed The Case of the Weird Sisters, a mystery as its name implies. We must have done well for Mr. Harriman called us in to help his juniors put on a three-act comedy, 'tDollars To Doughnuts. This was given in May. '- May was a busy month. The boys and girls worked many long hours on the plans and decorations for the Junior Prom. May 7th was the night. It took two active crews all that day to complete a transformation of the High School Gymnasium. Everyone seemed to enjoy himself, and we had an excellent crowd. It was a success in all respects except financial. If only we could have overlooked the infernal revenue tax, we would have been in the clear. h We did well in sports, tying the sophomores in soccer for the champion- ship. However, outside sports had to be called off on account of the weather. Some of the girls took chemistry which has always proved a trial to the students. With many moans, and hopes of expansive explosions, we crept slowly through the course. The girls of that class are indebted to Miss Trovato for several educa- tional excursions to Boston. We went to the U. S. Food and Drug Labora- tories, and the Christian Science Monitor building with its immense globe. We also attended several plays. That year Helen Crespi won first prize for declamation at the Merrill Prize Speaking Contest. Part VI 1948 - '49 This year opened with a bang. We were at last mighty seniors! Se- dately entering the building, we went slowly up the stairs trying to set a 1949 ' PINNACLE 53 good example for the younger students. We chose our seats, and were re- newing old acquaintances when Mr. Carr entered the room. We were finally to realize how free a senior is and how different her career is from the timid life of the seventh grader. We now visited the office for informal chats. Occasionally we were requested to put in our appearance there. At that time there was no chatting! The seniors even used excuses for being tardy or absent that were plausible, however strange. Jean Swetland said one day, I was fighting a fire. A chicken house burned. Rae Wiggin came in late one morning and said, I was mid-wife to a cow. She added that she thought it very considerate of the cow to let her go to school at the end of the first period. We all wondered why Mrs. Irving did not start having gray hairs. Mr. Pirnie even looked closely at Roberta Prescott's face, when she returned from an absence, to see whether there were any signs of measles which, as it turned out, Berta had not had in the first place. We realized early in the year that many of our recess periods were to be sacrificed for class meetings. So many decisions had to be made. One of the first was the consideration of a joint yearbook with the High School. After a great deal of deliberation both in and out of meetings, the seniors decided to take this pioneering step. Other meetings followed to choose our yearbook staff, to decide certain policies, to plan for our senior pictures, caps and gowns, announcements and calling cards. Various committees were formed to handle the senior play, the food sale, the dance. We managed to keep very busy. Since we had lockers for our gym clothes in the basement, we were al- ways late for gym on the third floor, and when we finally arrived for class we were invariably so winded that we could do nothing. At that time we realized two things that were much needed at the Seminary, an elevator for the girls, and a pulley for our locker keys which never seemed to be on the door on the third floor where they should have been. Marion Wilson and Berta Prescott were the co-captains of the varsity hockey team which was undefeated this year. Phyllis Carbonneau was the captain of the varsity basketball team which won most of its games. - For a moment let me mention the activities that took place during our last year. One of the biggest events was the combined senior play. On De- cember 9th and 10th we presented, The Night Was Dark, an intriguing mystery comedy. Miss Potter proved to be a patient and skillful director. For the first time the play was held in the Harris House with the scenery of the Exeter Players. Both were very definitely a contributing factor to its success. V The following month the annual food sale took place. We were pleased with the Outcome, although some of us bQL1ght tOQ fI1UCl1 rich food. It Seems 54 PINNACLE 1949 to me that there was a social event during February. Unfortunately, I do remember, we had a dance in vacation - enough said! March also had its welcome interruptions. On the eighth we spent the entire morning at town meeting which proved to be interesting for every- one. On March 23d we followed in the footsteps of our predecessors and spent the whole day in Concord. We visited the State Prison, State Hos- pital, and the Legislature which was in session. On the 13th, half of the senior class, and most of the junior class went to see the opera, Carmen, which the girls said was marvelous. It was presented by the Metropoli- tan Opera Company. A Music played an important role. Three of our class, Helen Ferguson, Claire Williams and Hazel Tufts, with Bill Lamson, Eddie Lyons and Ken Almon, of the High School, went to the New England Music Festival in Wellesley, Mass., where they had a very enjoyable time. The above was followed by a band concert scheduled April Sth under the direction of Mr. Preble. The mixed chorus, composed of the upper classes at the Seminary and the High School, made progress this year, so the group sang at the spring concert in May. Our annual Merrill Prize Speaking was presented at the High School May 10th. The seniors chosen for the compositions were Jean Swetland, Claire Williams and Marion Wilson. Evangeline Broderick was the only member of our class who competed for the prize in declamation. For the four weeks running from March 28th to April 23d, the halls of Robinson were unusually quiet due to the absence of the six senior com- mercial girls who were assigned to various business oflices where they were trainees. This year twenty-nine seniors took the driving course which caused numerous gray hairs for Mrs. Bennett and the girls. A contest, with the title, How a Teen-Ager Can Promote Safer Driving, was sponsored by station WHEB in Portsmouth, to which students from the senior high grades of many schools sent compositions. We are very proud of two of our classmates. June Glass won first prize, 5100, and Claire Williams, sec- ond prize, 350. The field of science is wide and varied. During the fall, the biology class went to Boston, to the Harvard Museum with its glass flowers and skeletons, to the Aquarium where a seal stole the show by grunting each time it went around its small pool, and to a play, Showboat. The girls in the science department had a baby chick for a short time, but it died for some unknown reason. During the spring we had a baby rabbit named Augustus. He served a dual purpose for he was a perfect model for the drawing classes at Easter. These two specimens were not for experimentation, they were there to show us their growth. In February, a new member was added to the biology class, but she 1949 PINNACLE 55 never contributed anything which could be heard, although there was much discussion about her since she is a skeleton. After much deliberation and thought, the lady was named Daphne, to be called Daphie by the ma- jority. The students even conjured up several stories concerning her life before she entered the Seminary. She had had an accident while skiing, Mrs. Irving proclaimed that Daphne had frozen while skiing down a slope, others said Daphie had been in an automobile accident, thus accounting for the bones that had been broken, but repaired. Daphne was immediate- ly married to Oscar, who also was in the biology class in the form of a skel- eton. No one minded the disparity in ages except, possibly, the two in- volved. Then, to the'chagrin of all the students, Oscar left our little room to go to the High School. Thus our young Daphne was left alone among all the humans. Now that wewseniors are about to start out along new fields of business, college, and home-making, there undoubtedly will be times when we shall wish we were back at the Seminary among those wonderful, familiar faces. In the future when we return and look into the study hall, we shall fully expect to see Doris Mobbs collecting class dues, Judy Crespi doing the milk money rounds, and Hazel Tufts squeezing pennies from the girls for their yearbooks. Yes, we shall always remember those Seminary days. We shall ever be grateful to all the faculty for teaching us what we now know, and for being so tolerant and understanding. THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1949 E. H. S. CHAPTER I-SEVENTH GRADE Way, way back in September of the year, 1943, three important things were happening: the Second World War was still going on, the United States was preparing itself for the following year's national elections and Exeter High School was opening its scholarly doors to over forty shrink- ing, very callow, and very confused young men. Miss Masterman instant- ly assumed her thou wert my guide responsibilities, and within a few months most of us had adapted ourselves to junior high life. There were two memorable incidents that occurred in that fateful year. The first was our never-to-be-forgotten Chewing Gum Party. Miss Mas- terman's room was a passing corridor for the members of the Senior Class. That particular class had an abnormal mania for chewing gum-in school. 56 PINNACLE 1949 Whenever Miss Masterman caught a Violator he forfeited one whole pack- age of gum. And so it was, that by the end of the year Miss Masterman's desk draw was filled with packages of gum. A week before school closed, we had it. The gum, horribly stale, was divided amongst us all, with Miss Masterman joining us, and, boy, did we chew! The second incident was the election of our Class Ballot. This was the first chance that we had had to express ourselves about our friends on paper, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. But look! Look what we voted: quietest-Les Cooper! most bashful-Bill Lamson! They were not all as extreme as those, because, best-all-around boy went to - yes, you guessed it, Joe Costello. 1 The Law of Averages was not disproved when most of us found our- selves graduated into the eighth year of school. I' CHAPTER II - EIGHTH GRADE In the adjoining room we were whipped into shape by that stern mould- er of character, Mrs. MacNabb. This was the year that our personalities started to develop - one way or another. Many of us for the first time went out for athletics. There were the clubs: the History Club, the Jour- nalism Club, the Airplane Club, and the First Aid Club. In December, the annual junior high Christmas Party was held, with its gifts, food and the antics of Mr. Rowe in his customary role of St. Nick. Getting serious, Mrs. MacNabb was undoubtedly the best teacher we had had up to that time, and many of us today consider her among the top teachers we have ever had. How well we remember the famous guide sheets and maps in history! How well we remember the compositions and the detailed study of Snowbound. In June we chose one of the three courses offered and its respective sub- jects - all of which made us feel quite grown-up. That summer, we Freshmen-to-be looked forward to school because we knew that we would ofiicially be known as high school students. CHAPTER III - FRESHMEN Everyone had warned us: your first year in high school will be the hardest. This was thoroughly impressed upon our minds and one can im- agine the slight apprehension that we all had, for actually we underwent another transition - from junior high to high school. We now had classes in all parts of the building, there were different teachers, strange subjects. We found that we could no longer be dependent on the teachers, we had to think for ourselves. Because our ranks were increased by the graduates from St. Michael, our class was split into two rooms: Mr. Hatch's and Miss Collins'. 1949 PINNACLE 57 The feat which brought us school-wide recognition was our capture of the Intramural Basketball Championship. We were not once defeated. In June we gayly skipped off for the summer and returned once more in the fall as CHAPTER IV - SOPHOMORES For some reason, when students become Sophomores something snaps in their brains, and in many cases, the beast in them breaks out. This was true in our class - too true. It became a daily thing to see some silly, simple Sophomore making the well-known trek to the office. In spite of our failings and foibles that year we did find time to do something con- structive. In November we staged what was probably the most original assembly program ever presented at E. H. S. iWhen the auditorium was filled, pieces of paper were passed out and the audience was invited to write their names and a few words on it. Rus- sell Rowe, alone on the stage and in the proper attire, proved his profound psychical ability as he not only repeated the name, but managed to repeat the words almost as they were written. All, of course, without help! That same month our Sophomore Hop was enjoyed by - well, it must have been seventeen persons, including the janitor! , For the second straight year the class of '49 topped all competition in the Intramural basketball contests. The St. Amour-coached quintet never tasted defeat. In June the first annual Kingston Pond Class Outing was started. All but a few attended and all enjoyed the swimming and softball. A fitting climax to close our tenth year in school. CHAPTER V - J UNIORS This year proved much more active than the other years. The new ac- tivities in which we participated were the auto-driving course and the typewriting course at the Seminary. Many of us fought in the Legion- sponsored boxing smokers Through the initiative of a few from our class, a three-act comedy play was staged in the spring. In May, the big- gest social event of the year was put on, the Junior Prom, by members of both Junior Classes. Also in May, our president, Joe Costello, was selected from our class to represent the High School at Boys' State at Durham in the summer. The annual Class Outing at Kingston Pond followed the Class Day ex- ercises in June. It was an unusually happy time, for we knew that we had attained the highest point of our lusty careers. We, at last, would be known under the magic name of 58 PINNACLE 1949 CHAPTER VI - SENIORS This year has been the busiest and the most exciting of all the years. Besides the usual activities, there was the gigantic task of publishing a yearbook, a combined yearbook. There were more class meetings - al- ways interesting. As we look back on our six years at Exeter High School, we can readily see the progress, in various degrees, each one of us has made, from insignificant seventh graders to significant twelfth graders, each with a distinctive personality. It is the teachers who have done this: they have taught us, guided us, disciplined us and made us ready to take our places in the society of Man. The Class of 1949 has enjoyed these years. Already, many of us have wistfully said, How I wish I were back in the seventh or ninth grade, starting in all over again! But time moves on. We shall be lost in the endless shuffie of other classes. Lost and forgotten. We shall not forget, though. Class H istoricm. CLASS PROPHECY R. F. S.

Please send a remittance of 35.00 for banquet reservations to Miss Doris Mobbs, Haverhill Boulevard, South Exeter 5, New Hampshire. Sincerely yours, qMrs.J MARION WILSON ROCKEFELLER. 518 Grand Park Drive V Exeter, New Hampshire. I folded the announcement and put it into my handbag. Passengers please fasten safety belts. We are now landing at Pineau International Airport, Exeter. The stewardess had brown hair and eyes with a smile that seemed vaguely familiar. May I help you ? she asked and I realized I had been staring at her. 1949 PINNACLE 59 Is Mrs. Clarence Carroll still the president of the airport? I asked. Yes, did you wish to see her? I am an old classmate of hers. Do you suppose she would have time for me ? Mother always has time for an old classmate ! she said as she moved on to the next passenger. Is Jane Pineau old enough to have a grownup daughter like that? I exclaimed aloud. She not only is, but does ! I turned to see the woman behind me smil- ing. Marcia Chesley, how are you '?l' I cried. Marcia Wentworth. Fine! How are you, June ? Finef' The word was jiggled out as the plane made a three-point landing. Jane Pineau, or should I say Carroll, met us at the plane in a late model jet car. All the girls have secured rooms at the 'old' Exeter Inn, she told us as the jet speeded down Fifth Street. There is Wilson Hall. Marion financed this building which was erected in 1960. For the last eight years it has been used as a sports arena by Exeter and the surrounding towns. Jane pulled the jet into the yard of the Inn and all words were lost in a frenzy of Marion, Claire, Jean and Helen. Out of the haze I saw a tall woman in green coming toward me and, because she was sporting his fa- vorite color, I knew that Priscilla Page had married Carl Winch. Marcia and I left our suitcases at the Inn and went with the rest to Wilson Hall for the first part of the business meeting. Alice Moran, our class president, was just calling the meeting to order when a great commotion drew us all outside to see Rae Wiggin riding up on a dashing white palfrey. She always did like animals and now she is teaching animal husbandry at the University of New Hampshire. As we were returning to the hall, a well dressed woman said to me in the cultivated tones of a bank president, Am I glad to see someone I know here! Thus Claire Williams reminded me of the time that we appeared at WHEB radio station, two frightened seniors from R.F.S. Somewhere, as Doris Mobbs, was reading the treasurer's report, I heard a child cry. I craned my neck to see Charlene Sharp, rather Mrs. D. Perry Smith, Jr., quieting her tiny granddaughter. It was diiiicult to im- agine Charlene a grandmother at forty-five. How charming she looked! Finally, the business meeting ended, and the daughters of several mem- bers served tea. One looked very much like Jean Swetland. I wondered whom Jean had married, and later discovered it was Someone I didn't know, but that she was still teaching kindergarten. 60 PINNACLE 1949 I scanned the crowd looking for my sister-in-law, Carol Turner Glass, and finally saw her talking with the athletic teacher from the co-education- al school in District I of Exeter. I joined them, congratulating Phyllis Carbonneau for having been the star player on the faculty basketball team. What's that ? Dorothy Plouffe, looking very majestic in navy blue and gold, demanded my attention. How are you 'Zi' I asked as we found a secluded corner. Where are you stationed ? I found that she was in a Waves training camp about ten miles from my country home in Kentucky. Since I had last seen her, she had been promoted to a rear admiral and was the first woman to ever gain such a high rank. We had scarcely begun our conversation when we were interrupted by Lois Simpson and Hazel Tufts who, I was to understand, were running a successful art shop on a big scale. Lois' paintings were rated with Rem- brandt's already. I never quite discovered what Hazel's connection was until later I found that there was a literature department in the art shop and Hazel was the librarian. The crowd began to drift again and I found myself face to face with Marjorie Hankin and Josephine Broderick, who had lost their way. I learned that Marjorie was secretary to the ambassador to Germany, who was, no less, my former home room teacher at R. F. S. Josephine blushing- ly told me she had finally found a man that she liked. Oddly enough he writes mystery novels too! I am trying to find Helen Crespi. Has anyone seen her?', I turned to see Evangeline Broderick standing on tiptoe looking over the heads of the crowd. Here I am I exclaimed Helen popping up out of the nearest cluster of girls. She was carrying a periscope, so that she could see everything that was going on. You always were up on the latest news, laughed Evangeline and to- gether they walked oif. Van had become a teacher of languages and Helen was now a reporter for the New York Times. I found that I was standing near a piano where voices were beginning Sing, sing. Two women, one with brown eyes, one with blue, climbed to the platform where together they sang Smiling Through. Everyone was feeling sad when two more girls pushed through the crowd to the platform crying, Ruthie! Helen! Although they were considerably old- er than when I had last seen them, I knew Verna Chicoyne and Rosemary Sullivan almost immediately. I later found out that Helen and Ruth were starring, one in Carmen and the other in t'The Barber of Seville in March, 1976. Verna was married to a millionaire and- was well known for her teas to which she invited all the celebrities. Rosemary had married 1949 PINNACLE 61 a professor who, it is rumored, fell in love while explaining a math prob- lem her. Hi Chumf' I was standing next to Christine Crowell and Shirley Novak. But isn't it warm for mink coats ? I asked in surprise. Not after Bermuda! exclaimed Chris. You see we came from there for this meeting and we find the weather here much colder. I'll stop in at your hotel the next time I'm in Bermuda, I promised and left them in search of any classmates I hadn't seen. It wasn't long before I met Judy Crespi, Florence Lord and Nancy Allard. They greeted me warmly and I sat down beside them. Tell me about yourselves. Nancy started by telling me that she had married Eddie Lyons, which was no surprise to me or anyone else. She was very happy and had raised several cubs who now towered over her. Florence told me she was happy to be Secretary of the Treasury, and that since she had taken the position money meant very little to her. Judy, true to school days when she had collected milk money, informed me that she was an Internal Revenue Officer. June, how is --? Fine! I answered before Roberta Prescott had finished what she had started to say. What do you do for a living? 'Tm a psychologist, said Berta, raising one eyebrow for emphasis. I love it. Where is Ruth Hall?', I asked. Over there, Berta pointed across the hall where I saw Ruth, Nellie Otis and Letty Page. ' Thanks, I'll see you again before the three days are up. I left Berta in the care of Jean Swetland and maneuvered my way toward the girls. Junel they all cried as I came up to them. Isn't it wonderful to see all the girls again 7 Nellie asked. A It certainly is. I learned that all these girls were married and that in addition Nellie owned a lunch room and Ruthie was her chief cook. Two seniors arrived late. Shirley Dow, a dancer with red hair fit used to be brownj, stood in the doorway with Kathleen Young who owned a western ranch where she raised palominos. I turned to Doris Mobbs and Anne Brackett and together we lost our- selves in the crowd. Doris told me that she was Anne's business manager. Anne was an accordion soloist. Doris also told me that Alice Moran was a photographer for the Exeter Journal. After much confusion, the first day ended, followed by two more very much like it. When Marcia and I settled ourselves in the plane, homeward bound, I began to think how very little the girls had changed from their carefree school days. All of the girls seemed happy in what they were doing. As Marcia left the plane in New York, I took out a pencil and began writing a new novel. 62 PINNACLE 1949 CLASS PROPHECY E. H. S. 1949 Utopia Road Heaven, A June 17, 1999. DEAR ED., Remember after you graduated from college you signed with a pro- football club? Well, I was looking through some old newspaper clippings and saw Ed Lyons Has Another Great Season with the Bears. This re- minded me that I owed you a letter and so here it is. Do you realize that it has been fifty years since we left Exeter High? A lot has happened since then, hasn't it? I'm up here and your down there where it's nice- and warm. I suppose some of the fellows are still alive on earth, don't you think so? I've seen a few of the boys since my arrival to this place of the here- after. Let's see now, yesterday I bumped into Joe Costello. He told me after he had been released from the Navy he had settled down to a peace- ful life out on Drinkwater Road, raising chickens-and children. Joe had kept in contact with Red Parker until he denounced the social world by joining the French Foreign Legion. He told Joe he wanted to get away from it all. What have you heard from Forest Wentworth? I lost track of him after he finished teaching French at Stratham College. He sure was a sharp student of languages. Oh, yes, Kenny Almon is up here. He now has a long beard and mus- tache similar to the-one in our Senior Play. We were talking over old times and I squeezed out of him the fact that he had become a successful artist. He had given the Town Hall two coats of well-earned paint. I was very glad to hear he made something of himself. He always was a fine lad. Guess what! One of my harp playing friends informed me that Babe Willett had been appointed by District Attorney Schur, to head the fine police force of New York City. Babe had an exciting career capturing many desperate characters. It seems that our boy, Jim Groetz, had become a judge. Jim worked himself up as a criminal lawyer. You know how he was in school, always talking! Charlie Wiggin, being such a successful' muscle man in a side show on earth, now uses his brawn opening the Golden Gates. I regret to say that the hinges are rusty from lack of use. This was a great honor and was given to him by George St. Amour, who had become Chief Spook. On 1949 PINNACLE 63 earth George made his first million by inventing new practical jokes, but soon tiring of that, he ventured into the tobacco industry. With his aggres- sive and ambitious nature, he soon monopolized the cigarette industry. In your last letter you were asking for Lawrence Lyford. Well, it seems that he left New England and headed, along with Russell Rowe, to the Gobi Desert. Russ had found a new way of cultivating the soil to raise wheat, and needed Lawrence to farm it for him. I guess they both made their million. I almost forgot, Ed Skeet Irvine, the world's richest man, had his theater syndicate written up in Life, which Dick Welch had taken over since his high school days at a local print shop. Skeet had been a crafty businessman and gained control of ninety per cent of the theaters in the country. Needing someone who is always there when you need him to manage the concern, he chose Francis Wiggin. Under him was the finan- cial manager who was none other than Gubby,' Barker. He always did have a head for figures! Remember Ed, I told you I was looking for a pair of detectives for my insurance company? Well, I found just what I was looking for and they were none other than Fred Doherty and Fred Towne. Not bad, huh? Soon after they came to work for me, I learned from Fred Towne that Bill Mor- an was making a small fortune in the drugstore business. Bill settled in the western part of the United States, and raised the country's meat sup- ply for a hobby. A nice profitable hobby, I should say! That's all the news I have up to now. Write soon if you hear anything about the boys, BILL. 1949 Satan Drive Hades, June 18, 1999. DEAR BILL, I was glad to receive your letter - it was about time you wrote. I bet you can't guess who brought it into me. It was Rich Ramsdell. He had been in Northern Canada most of his life as a forest ranger. Rich always did like the woods, didn't he? Poor Les Cooper, I suppose you haven't heard what happened to him. After being married six times he teamed up with another famous Don Juan, Dick Caverhill, to form the C and C Marriage and Date Bureau. Being married so many times it became a habit. Every heartsick damsel 64 PINNACLE 1949 that strayed in the office, he would marry her just out of the goodness of his heart. Of course, this was against the law, and being a card, he was dealt with. The last word I had from Paul McAllister was that he had been arrest- ed for excessive speeding and was placed in a reformatory. Paul was un- der the careful supervision of Dr. Earle Ray, who had been studying the traffic problem for many years. Also Harold Mitchell, who had become a senator, was declared insane for refusing to talk on the special privileges ofthe high school senior. Paul, after being there for a short time, con- vinced Dr. Ray that he had reformed and obtained from the politically powerful Dagostino, permission to release him. After that Paul became a used-car dealer and did very well at it. . In this period of history there were only two political parties, pro-Dag- ostino and anti-Dagostino. A few classmates, faithful followers of him, were given state jobs. Digger Stanley procured the position of Com- missioner of Education, and Buddy Dunn acquired the job of Commis- sioner of Motor Vehicles. Well, Bill, as I look back over the years I spent in high school, it seems to me that those were the happiest days of my life. ED., Class Prophcsier. MR. JAMES A. PIRNIE, PRINCIPAL R.F.S. MR.

The junior class of 1949 started the year off correctly by planning a Vic Dance for October. This was done soon after the first meeting when the following officers were elected: PTGSICIGTII - JEAN DONALDSON Vice-President - JOAN YEANY Secretary -- BARBARA PICKANCE Treasurer - FRANCES JORDAN Because Miss Adams, our former adviser, had left us to be married, the week before our dance found us Cexcitedlyb searching for another adviser. Miss Trovato generously consented to do this work. With her help, the Vic Dance was a great success. Our class combined with the High School in giving two one-act plays: Sugar and Spice, directed by Miss Trovato and Charity Ball, directed by Miss Cunningham. The large audience was pleased with the perform- ance to our great delight. The event of the year, however, was our Junior Prom. With a good orchestra, refreshments and a crowd of happy teen-agers in a well deco-- rated hall, how could a dance be anything but a success? We are looking forward to next year, when we shall work together to make our last year the best at Robinson Seminary. JEAN DONALDSON. E.H.S. CLASS OR .l UNI D. S, H1 da sroches, R. A De iggn, D.

Third 1949 PINNACLE 71 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY E. H. S. On September 8, 1948, as hardy a group of boys as Exeter High has ever seen trooped triumphantly into the main room. Needless to say, it was the thirty-five members of the class of '50, who, this year were to be lords of the main room. Teachers looked askance pondering whether we had lost that Sophomore foolishness in the summer months, for which we were famous last year. Though we still are a fun-loving crowd, it is good to be able to say that we have matured to some extent. Shortly after school opened class officers were elected. The following were installed: Christopher Rowe, Presidentg Edward Gilmore, Vice-Pres- identg Chandler Sanborn, Secretary-Treasurer, and Chris Rowe and Frank Chase, Student Council representatives. Many Juniors answered the call for football candidates and performed on the varsity squad. Two of this number were elected co-captains of next year's eleven, Dick Brisson and Jim Leddy. Several of the class went out for basketball when the court season opened. Mert Jenkins and Chris Rowe playednvarsity ball with Rowe being awarded a letter and Jenkins, a star. The latter was elected captain of the 1949-50 season. Skip Desroches ran in the State Indoor Track Meet this winter at Phillips Exeter. ' Many Juniors are expected to turn out for baseball this spring. Mert Jenkins, Chris Rowe, and Frank Chase are all holdovers from last year's championship nine. This was also a good social year for our happy band. Our Vic dance was unique: it was a financial success as well as a social success. We eagerly look forward to the Junior Prom, for which committees have al- ready been picked. We expect this function to be the usual success. Following the example of last year's class, we voted to have a Junior Play. Two one-act plays will be produced by the combined talents of the Junior classes. Many of us enrolled in Mr. Rowe's driving class, and some have become very eflicient operators. . Some members of our class were on the honor roll and our more literary classmates declaimed exceptionally well in Merrill Prize Speaking. Since the opening of school, it is sad to report.that we have lost three of our boys. To our great happiness they are doing very well in the serv- ice of Uncle Sam. A Now we are ready to ascend another- step and try to emulate or even bet- ter the marks left by the class of '49. FRANK CHASE. R.F.S SOPHOMORE CLASS nch, M. VViggin, C. Moreau, J. Eastman, M.

It was with a greater confidence and sense of responsibility that the class of '51 started its fourth year as Sophomores at Robinson Seminary. Mrs. Johnson was chosen as our class adviser, and we elected the fol- lowing officers: P7'6SiCl67?t 1 CONSTANCE CHURCHILL Vice-President - JOAN WARDWELL Secretary - BARBARA BOYERS Treasurer - ANITA MELANSON Mary Costello and Margaret Milner represented our class in the Stu- dent Council. . The newly organized Dramatic Club drew many members from our class, as well as the Glee Club. Constance Churchill was elected secretary of the former. Sheila Bernier was a representative from the Glee Club to the New England Music Festival. We were proud to have many members on the hockey team. Mary Cos- tello and Anita Melanson received their letters, and Phyllis Booth and Bar- bara MacKinnon their numerals. In addition to the eight members on the basketball squad, Phyllis Booth and Sheila Tupper received their letters. Furthermore, we were pleased to have Sally Ray and Constance Churchill chosen as cheerleaders. It must also be mentioned that the softball team had a very successful season with Phyllis Booth as captain. The one big event of the year for us was the Sophomore Hop. It proved to be a big success and was greatly enjoyed by all. We feel that in participating in the many school activities, we have not only contributed with our ability and talents, but gained in experience and knowledge throughout the year.

There comes a time in every student's life when he has to become a Sophomore. In early September a group of handsome, dashing cavaliers made the big leap. These little knights in sweatshirts soon became the terrors of the main room. Most of the dirty work was being carried on by a select group known to the underground as THE BOYS. This organiza- tion was led through its many escapades by the Fiendish Three : John Booth, Robert Taylor and Charles MacDougall. Our first social event, the Sophomore Hop, turned out to be a huge suc- cess, thanks to the genius of our adviser, Mr. Hatch. Many people showed up, to our great astonishment. The Stratham Teen Tooters were the men behind the horns. The class officers, guns MacDougall, Willett, Haley, and apprentice gun Denoncour, decided to put on a Vic dance. This pulled a few cents into our treasury, presided over by Glue-finger Haley, our beloved treasurer. V When January rolled around, the class, accompanied by Messrs. Hatch and Roundy, went on an excursion to the city of the Braves and the Red Sox. A jollytime was had by all as we visited points of historical interest. On the trip home, songs 'rendered by the Sophomore Four were the order of the day. Most of the class were members of one club or another. The list of clubs include the Photography Club, supervised by Miss Cunningham, the Ski Club, with Mr. Roundy at the helm, and the Whiflle Club, run exclu- sively by THE BOYS. A whiflle, as you know, is an extremely short hair-cut. Members were recruited, by force if necessary, and escorted to the nearest Tonsorial Parlor to be shorn of their curly locks. Needless to say, the volunteers were few. The Sophomores showed supremacy in sports. Two of our honored brood earned letters in football. One of them, Chick MacDougall, scored a touchdown, caught a few passes and got off some booming punts. When the first basketball game popped up, fans noticed three of the knock- down-drag-out kids sparking the J.V.'s to a thirteen and five record. Rob- ert Taylor represented us at Durham, in the State Tournament. Speaking for ourselves, we wish to say that we have never known a better group than Paul, Chick, Peewee,', Flapper, and all the rest. May they all live to a ripe old age and fill other souls like ours with laugh- ter. They are God's answer to sadness. The class of '51 wishes to thank its adviser, Mr. Hatch, and all its vari- ous teachers. JOHN BOOTH AND WILLIAM MARKEY. R.F.S. FRESHMAN CLASS J Merluzzi. T Rock, row: M. Allen, R. Greenwood, E.

On September 8, 1949, forty-four girls ran hurriedly up the stairs to Room 10. Everyone was glad to return to school and to meet her old and new classmates. Under Mr. Pirnie's guidance, we held our first class meeting. The fol- lowing officers were elected: President - DOROTHY GRANT Vice-Presiclent - JUNE LANDRY Secretary - CORRINE SARGENT Treasurer - CAROLYN WARDWELL Many girls of our class have been active in the Glee Club. We are all very proud of Josephine Wiggin, who was chosen to participate in the New England Music Festival. A very entertaining skit, Experience Necessary, was presented in assembly by four members of our class who are in the Dramatic Club: Eleanor Henry, Theresa Rock, Emogene Libby and Sarah Spencer. Although the class hockey team was not very successful, we are all sure we will do better another year. The class soccer team won their first game from the seniors by a draw, but they went down to defeat in the championship game against the soph- omores. One of our classmates, Georgianna Chase, won distinction by being the only ninth grade pupil to win a prize in the Safety Contest sponsored by station WHEB. Needless to say, we all rejoiced with her. We are looking forward to three more happy, eventful years at Robin- son. HELEN CARBONNEAU. H.S. SE. CLAS FRESHMAN iz. nkenv ves, J. Li F3 ner. J. G Jensen, R. Mil y, J. Moreau.

Soon class elections were held under the direction of our class adviser, Mr. Anderson. The following officers were chosen: Frank Smedley, President, William Hird, Vice-President, Gilbert Michaud, Secretary-Treasurer, and Ted Bitomski, Student Coun- cil representative. Several of us went out for football, but the sport in which we shone was basketball. Marshall made the Junior Varsity's first string and Bitomski, Jensen, Moreau, and Cail became the reserves. Bitomski was chosen to play for the varsity at the B League Tournament. It has been predicted that the 1952 basketball team should take first place in the tournament that year, with eleven others going out for the freshmen-sophomore team this year. , Jacobs, Jacobson, Jewell, Milner and Curran represent us in the band and orchestra, as did Fred Klauer before he left us. Edward Jewell is a Chess Club champ C?J. Several others are in Mr. Roundy's Ski Club and three of us belong to the Glee Club. I The Class of '52 contributed over sixty dollars to thecause in the ingpg- azine drive, third from the top in that respect, but it was first in Mr. Hathaway's decathlon assembly program. Among those representing us were Bitomski, Cail, Campbell, Demaskey, Jacobson, Marshall, Milner, Moreau, Plourde, Shultz, and Towne. The figure-eight' passing drill rec- ord was broken by the Bitomski-Cail-Moreau-Shultz-Towne combination. The Freshmen have been well represented on the honor roll. The first quarter we boasted the highest percentage of boys on the honor roll of all the classes with over thirty per cent of the ninth-graders making the 'hon- ors. I'm sure that many boys in the Class of '52 have scholastic and athletic ability and we shall continue to improve it next year, when we shall take our seats among the Big Three of the school.

As we got settled and looked around, we saw that we now had 43 pupils in our class. On September 16th we elected our class officers, who are as follows: President - ELAINE CLEMENTS Vice-President -- PAULINE PAGE Secretary - DEBORAH BLODGETT Treasurer - SELMA HARRIS We also elected a room committee with Joan Verville as chairman. This committee helps to keep our room clean and in order. The members of the eighth grade collected about six dollars and filled two boxes for the Junior Red Cross. We also contributed about ten dol- lars to the March of Dimes. On the Thursday before Christmas we had a party. After we had ice cream and cookies, the officers distributed presents for all. We finished our party in the Assembly Hall, where we had a play, games, and singing. Every Thursday we have a homeroom period when we have class dis- cussion and talks on subjects in which we all are interested. Sometimes we have movies which we all enjoy. Under the direction of Mrs. Smith we are planning a program for assembly. We are all looking forward to our first year in high school, although at first we shall probably be homesick for the eighth grade. DEBORAH BLODGETT. E.H.S.

A group of weathered, seventh grade veterans filed into the eighth grade room under the jurisdiction of Mrs. MacNabb, last September. We expected the worst, but with Mrs. MacNabb's help it soon seemed asfif we had always been eighth graders. Q A few weeks later we had our class elections. Class oflicers are as fol- lows: David Sanborn, President, Peter Bragdon, Vice-President, William Beane, Secretary, and John Knight, Treasurer. When the national elections came around, several boys spoke their be- liefs on the two main parties. The school's mock election put Dewey way ahead of Truman. The few Democrats had the last laugh, however, when the national returns came in. . In February there was the annual magazine drive in which our sales- manship showed up. The school fell S70 short of the S500 goal, but our eighth grade led the drive with 3172. Howard Stevens and Peter Bragdon got first and second prizes, the former selling almost E550 worth of subscrip- tions. This year the eighth and ninth grade football teams were combined, so only a few eighth graders made first string, but they all made the squad. Our basketball team had a tough season, pulling through one upsetivictory over a favored Hampton opponent. Bruce Montville and David Sanborn sparked the team in the forward slots. 1 With several returning lettermen, the Junior High baseball prospects look good. Several clubs furnished enjoyment to us this year. The History Club was reorganized for the first time since the war by Mrs. MacNabb. The club's officers are: Peter Bragdon, President, Henry Phillips, Vice-Presi- dent, Robert Easton, Secretary, and Richard Shute, Treasurer. With trips planned and many interesting meetings the seventh and eighth grade mem- bers have great fun. A Many eighth grade members went out for the new Ski Club, begun by Mr. Roundy. The Photography Club, in Miss Cunningham's realm, was also an attraction to some amateur land professionalb eighth grade pho- tographers. Three members became so interested in their work that they forgot class one day, and stayed in the developing room through most of a science class. Chick, Gallant, Beane, Ferguson, Easton, Kershaw, Novell, Pearson and MacDougall are the class vocalists and are members of the Junior High Glee Club. The Chess Club had several entries in a school chess tourna- ment run by Mr. Hatch. With many close shaves and tough scrapes during the year it looks like the Class of '53 is now ready to step up into high school. We 'thank the teachers, who have given us their helping hand throughout junior high school. PETER BRAGDON. R.F.S. SEVENTH GRADE CLASS I. Thompson, F. Turcotte, R. Nichols, E. Sanborn, adwick, G.

We were frightened and trembling. Everything seemed strange to us, but now we know our way around and we usually get to our classes on time. Our first fire drill came as a great surprise, but we have become used to them now. One of our first duties was to elect class ofiicers. They are as follows: President - FAY FORTIER Vice-President - MARGARET BOUCHARD Secretary - FREDA TAYLOR Treasurer - LIELA ROWELL In December we had a Christmas party with a tree which had many gifts on it. Ice cream and cookies were served by the class officers and were enjoyed by all. In February we sponsored a seventh grade assembly program. The program was as follows: A J. ROSS and J.

S., It all started that sunny day, September 8, 1948, when the class of 1954, forty odd in number, our hands clean, our hair combed, and all in our new school clothes were assembled for the Iirst time in our new schoolroom. We were all rather scared and a little bewildered. But we were not too scared to go exploring all over the place. By September l'?30th we felt we were well enough acquainted with each other to elect class oflicers, as follows: President, Arlan Clementsg Vice- President, Sandy Phillipsg Secretary, George Jacksong and Treasurer, Ronald Swetland. Arlan Clements is our representative to the Student Council. ' 4 V Soon after Thanksgiving our Junior High Glee Club was organized. We are well represented by several members, from our class. Christmas soon came and then the New Year. Still no snow. ,We were getting very restlessbecause Mr. Roundy was planning to start a ski club. We had our first meeting and had decided on Moulton's Ridge as a place to ski. Final- ly it came, seven or eight inches of the glorious snow! With Mr. Roundy's help most of us found out which way our skiis were supposed to go, though I must admit they did not always go in the right direction. The beginning of the basketball season brought great hopes to many of us, and still holds great hopes for the future. We were proud to have Sandy Phillips, Herbert Grant, Tommy Ray and Vinton Yeaton on the Junior High basketball team. g Not long ago we took a class poll. You will not be surprised to learn that the class baby is John Robertson. Eggy Rawson is our best natured, as well as the class clown. Our most studious is George Jackson and our most talkative is Frederick Miller. Clyde Maxwell was voted the class wit. Jerry Swetland is the best square dancer. Sandy Phillips is the best sport and to Herbert Grant goes the honor of being the best looking, the best dressed and the best all around boy. On the whole we feel we have improved considerably. We have had ten boys on the Honor Roll and we have improved our Physical Fitness tests. We were proud to come in second on the Magazine Drive for funds for the Athletic Association, selling over S165 worth of subscriptions. We are also pleased to have Tommy Schultz and Clyde Maxwell in the school orchestra. In a spelling match held recently, George Jackson proved to be the champion speller. We thank all our teachers for their kindness and help and we are looking forward to another year in High School when we will no longer be The Little Seventh Graders. RICHARD SHUTE. 88 PINNACLE 1949 GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Since there are very few full time guidance counselors in the state of New Hampshire, we consider ourselves very fortunate in having such a director as Mr. Robert Swasey, who conscientiously serves both the High School and the Seminary. After graduating from the University of New Hampshire, he attended Boston University and Harvard, where he special- ized in the guidance field. For the past three years Mr. Swasey, through an expanded testing program, the development of a cumulative record system and personal con- ferences with the pupil, has been of great value in aiding the student in understanding himself, his capabilities, and in determining his career aft- er high school. Mr. Swasey has a natural and congenial personality and because of this, the boys are not hesitant in seeking him for help. Q! ,I ffl? TQ J 0,6 i it M I n .

The plot revolves around Benjamin Garth, an eccentric and supposedly defunct old millionaire, his will and his avaricious heirs. In the initial act Benjamin's relatives are brought together in his sin- ister mountain home in New York. Each has received a cryptically word- ed telegram. 0n arrival they discover that they must remain in the house for a period of not less than twenty-four hours - if they are to share in the estate. If one leaves, his share is to be divided among the remaining heirs. This is all read to them by Garth's attorney, Jabez Weedle, who is in on a little plan that Old Ben has cooked up for the hapless heirs, along with his butler, Rakofsky, and his secretary, Norma Paterson. In ending the first act and in the plan of Garth, his portrait speaks, warning them to leave before it is too late. In the second canto the play reaches a height of mystery when Ben- jamin Garth makes his reincarnation, Together with his accomplices, he is seen planning more hilarious escapades that are to befall the luckless heirs. However, just before the curtain ends the act, Mr. Garth is left alone on the stage. Suddenly the lights go out, a shot rings out, the screams of a woman are heard. When the lights finally are turned on, Benjamin is found lying on the floor, his demented sister, Dora, bending over him with a smoking revolver in her hand. It is proved by Norma, the secretary, that it was impossible for Dora to have shot her brother because she was found with the gun in her left hand, while actually she is right-handed. Who could have done this terrible deed? Was it Weedle, the attorney? Or maybe it was the wise-cracking Gerald. Gr Mortimer, the talkative, not too bright Englishman. Finally, Mr. Garth reappears - not dead at all Cblanksl. The cul- prit, Mortimer, exposes himself, shoots Benjamin with a gun containing more blanks, and in the process is overpowered by Rakofsky, who drags him away. The combined classes of Exeter High School and Robinson Seminary wish to convey their thanks to their able director, Miss Potter, to Rev. Mr. Davis for the use of the Harris House, and to the Exeter Players for the use of the line scenery. WILLIAM LAMSON. ,b gg gg THE o. R. E. CLUB R. E. s. Back row: D. Plouffe, M. Chesley, R. Hall, S.

At the second meeting of the club the following officers were -elected: President - JOSEPHINE BRODERICK VtC6-P7'6S'Ifd67fLt 1 ROBERTA PRESCOTT Secretary - CONSTANCE CHURCHILL Treasurer - ANN GLENNIE A program committee was also selected to plan the meetings. Usual- ly a short skit was dramatized by some of the members. Afterwards there was a general discussion about acting, scenery, make-up, and other his- trionic subjects. Sometimes the girls not only acted in the short plays, but also they wrote them. In this Way a variety of interests were developed. CONSTANCE CHURCHILL. 96 PINNACLE 1949 GLEE CLUB Back row: B.

The Glee Club for the last two years has been under the direction of Mrs. Anna Reed. Late in the fall the Glee Club began rehearsing their Christmas can- tata, The Shepherd's Christmas. The cantata was at both the High School's and the Seminary's Christmas assemblies. It was also given at the Methodist Church for the Ladies' Aid. Last year the entire Glee Club went to both the State and the New England Audition Festivals held at Plymouth, N. H., and Hampton Beach, N. H., respectively. The Glee Club hopes to attend both of them this year. The State Audition Festival is going to be held at Franklin, N. H., and the New England Audition Festival at Old Orchard, Me. This year the New England Festival is being held at Wellesley, Mass. Hazel Tufts, Claire Williams, Josephine Wiggin, Sheila Bernier, and Helen Ferguson were chosen to go from the Seminary. Edward Lyons, William Lamson and Kenneth Almon were chosen to go from the High School. The Glee Club will also sing at the Band Concert and at the Music Festival in Exeter this spring. The Glee Club's ofiicers elected for the year of 1949 are as follows: President, Helen Ferguson, Vice-President, Ruth Ferguson, Secretary- Treasurer, Joan MacLaren, Librarians, Carolyn Wardwell and Sarah Spencer. The girls in the Glee Club who are graduating this year wish next year's club a very successful season. HELEN FERGUSON. 1949 PINNACLE 97 llth and 12th MIXED CHORUS Hack row: C. Rowe, R. Caverhill, G.

MIXED CHORUS This year is the first year that the Mixed Chorus has been a success. It has been tried before a number of times, but because the schools are sep- arated it never was successful. Although the schools are still separated, it was arranged at the first of the year to have one period a Week in which the group could get together. Every Monday during the fifth period, members from the Junior and Senior classes come from the High School to the Seminary to join the girls in forty minutes of singing. Selected members from the group sang on the float in the Christmas Parade. Later in the afternoon more of the group joined the Glee Club in singing carols on the steps of the Town Hall. Assemblies were held at both the Seminary and the High School in which the Mixed Chorus participated. Mrs. Reed, the director of the Mixed Chorus, plans to have the group sing at the Music Festival held at Exeter early in May.

Along with being trained to drive and care for an automobile, there is classroom instruction. 1949 'PINNACLE 101 PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB E. H. S. Under the guidance of Miss Cunningham and the leadership of the officers, the Photography Club has endeavored to further interest and de- velop skill in this field. The members have contributed pictures for the yearbook and have taken movies of the many school activities. The officers are: President, Fred Gallantg Vice-President, Robert Beairstog Secretary- Treasurer, Kenneth Haley. This year we are fortunate in having an enlarger and easel, develop- ing tanks, and a new white enameled sink. The latter was given to us by Kimball's Hardware Store. Our darkroom was built by some of the mem- bers of the club with the help of Mr. Anderson. The club has doubled its membership since last year, and if its enroll- ment continues to increase, the club should be of great value to the boys and to the school in the future. 4 PINNACLE 1949 CHESS CLUB SKI CLUB Y 1919 PINNACLE 103 CHESS CLUB E. H. S. Mr. Hatch's Chess Club - all ten members, functioned as usual this year. Besides playing among themselves, matches were played with Em- erson School and Kennebunk High School. The highlight, however, was the Chess Tournament held in March to determine the Exeter High School Chess Champ. That honor was won by a Freshman, Nelson Towne, who zipped through the tourney without a defeat, edging out Laird Towle in the finals. SKI CLUB E. H. S. One of the new activities this year was the Ski Club, under Mr. Roundy's instruction. Jack Shaw, a Sophomore, was elected to act as cap- tain. Plans for interscholastic competition were soon dropped because of the lack of snow. Whenever possible the club skied at Moulton's Ridge in Kensington. PINNACLE 1949 QU ARTET E.H.S. GLEE CLUB E.H.S. 1949 PINNACLE 105 QUARTET E. H. S. The Quartet consists of the better and the more interested singers from the Boys' Glee Club. They meet once a week during school time to harmonize old favorites or the more popular pieces of the day. There is one strange thing about the Quartet: one day there may be four singing and when the next practice arrives, there may be eight or ten - the majority of whom are Seniors. This is due to Mrs. Reed's valiant efforts to form a double quartet. May she succeed next year! BOYS' GLEE CLUB A This year the Glee Club has more than doubled itself over the previ- ous year. Never before has there been so much interest shown. The mem- bers rangefrom the Freshman year through the Senior year, with the last two classes constituting the majority. Under the competent direction of Mrs. Reed, the club was able to pre- sent to both schools occasional musical selections throughout the year. Three members, Kenneth Almon, William Lamson and Edward Lyons, sang at the New England Music Festival, held at Wellesley, Mass., during the latter part of March. It is obvious that music is an up and coming activity, and let us hope that the Glee Club will continue to grow at Exeter High School. I P TYPEWRITING E.H.S. HISTORY CLUB E.H.S 1949 PINNACLE 107 TYPEWRITING E. H. S. Through the cooperation of the Seminary, for the past two years the boys at the High School have been given the opportunity to' learn type- writing. The class meets twice a week after school at the Seminary, where the fundamentals are explained by Mrs. Keene. Typewriting is a practical skill to know, and the course has proved popular. HISTORY CLUB E. H. S. The History Club was reorganized this year for the first time since the war. The club is composed of junior high students, under the direction of Mrs. MacNabb. Its officers are: President - PETER BRAGDON ' Vice-President - HENRY PHILLIPS Secretary - ROBERT EASTON Treasurer - RICHARD SHUTE HOME MECHANICS E. H. S. A new short unit course in home mechanics, consisting of nine class periods was offered this year to the members of the Senior Class, eighteen of whom took advantage. Under the supervision of Mr. Anderson, they learned such useful things as how to correctly sharpen all types of edged tools, how to repair electric iron cords and switches, how to splice and solder wire, and how to set glass to size, b 108 PINNACLE 1949 JUNIOR PLAY E. H. S. The Class of 1949 staged a three-act comedy, Dollars to Doughnuts, in May, 1948. This was the first time that the junior classes of both schools had presented a combined play. Headmaster Donald Harriman, who directed it, was instrumental in its success. Lead parts were taken by Jean Swetland and Edward Lyons. The rest of the cast included Wil- liam Lamson, Helen Crespi, John Parker, Paul McAllister, Kenneth Al- mon, Josephine Broderick, Nancy Allard and Verna Chicoyne. The promp- ter was Joseph Costello. JUNIOR PLAYS R. F. S. We, as juniors, presented two thrilling one-act plays. So Wonder- ful In White was skillfully portrayed by Priscilla Page in the lead sup- ported by Shirley Dow, Joanie Broderick, Judith Crespi, Alice Moran, Anne Brackett and Jane Pineau. The other was a spine-tingling drama, The Case of the Weird Sis- ters with Helen Crespi, Lois Simpson, Verna Chicoyne, Dorothy Plouffe and Marion Wilson. We owe much of our success to our directors, Mrs. Frances W. Irving and Herbert L. Arnold. JUNIOR PROM 1948 The Junior Prom was held at the High School on May 7, 1948. Jim- my Marshall and his orchestra provided the music. The theme of decoration was Stardust done in blue and gold colors, and supplemented by silhouettes of couples dancing on White clouds. In- stead of the usual streamers across the ceiling, stars were hung at vary- ing heights. The Juniors of both schools and their advisers Worked very hard to make it the success that it was. 1949 PINNACLE 109 PING PONG R. F. S. - 1948 The Ping Pong Tournament was held for the seasonal successive year, and again Barbara Grant was the champion. In the final game of the tournament Barbara Grant challenged her sister, Dorothy Grant. It was a very close game. A great deal of credit goes to Barbara. We wish her lots of luck next year, and hope that she holds her title of Pong Pong Champion. CROQUET R. F. S. - 1948 In the spring of 1948 a croquet tournament was held on the lawns of the Seminary grounds. Many games were played within each class. The class Winners played each other. The class of 49 is very proud to boast as the champions of the tournament two members of its class, Nancy Al- lard and Jane Pineau. 110 PINNACLE 1949 IN TRAMURAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE E. H. S. Instead of class basketball, a new system was started this year. A league numbering eight teams was formed. These teams were composed of boys who had not played junior varsity or varsity basketball. The teams played a schedule of seven games, or, in other words they met each squad once. Mr. Eustis organized the Whole affair, which was run off in March. The reason Why this system is better is that the participants are able to play basketball longer, thus increasing the spirit and friendly ri- valry. Buddy Dunn of Sanborn's Shellackersu was the loop's highest scoring ace, firing in a total of 148 points, 40 of which were made in one game! In second place was John Daley of Stocky's Stinkersf' who racked up 99 markers. ' Here are the final standings of the League: Team Wo H Los!

F. S. Early last fall, Mrs. Keene and her Senior commercial class began the work necessary for re-opening the library. Books were assembled from the shelves of the main room and other parts of the building. The tedious task of cataloguing was finally completed and the books were placed sys- tematically in the library. For years We had hoped that this room would be used for the above purpose. We did have access to the books but we wanted the appropriate setting as the High School has had. The girls had finished their work and the room was ready for use. Mrs. Keene called a meeting of the girls she had chosen to be librarians. She gave them their instructions and told them the manner in which the library was to be run, how fines were to be collected, etc. The day had finally arrived, and the library was open for business. The girls enjoy this room very much, and the 3,000 books covering a large variety of subjects help them a great deal in their studies. HELEN FERGUSON. 1949 PINNACLE 113 LIBRARY E. H. S. For the past four years Miss Conant has been doing a very commend- able job as faculty director of the library. With limited funds she has worked to obtain the best books for the students. The boys themselves sacrifice their study periods to be the librarians, thus gaining practical experience in general library Work - including col- lecting Hnes! At the present time there are over 725 volumes of fiction and non-fic- tion, and within the last few years, such well known magazines as Life, Newsweelc, Popular Science, National Geographic and Readeods Digest have been added. 114 PINNACLE 1949 Back row: Mr. Harriman, C.

In order that the student may have a say in the government of the school, a representative body known as the Student Council was founded four years ago. It acts as an intermediary between the student body and the faculty. The result of the first meeting, which was to elect the leaders, put Richard Ramsdell as President, Edward Lyons, Vice-President, and Charles MacDougall, Secretary. With Mr. Harriman presiding, certain formalities are settled, such as whether the Flower and Gift Fund should be continued, and the drawing up of the Social Calendar. A new type of intramural basketball was in- troduced to allow more boys to play the game, other than the regular teams of the school. All in all, the Student Council of E. H. S. is a very important body, active and respected. ATHLETIC !

D 1949 PINNACLE 119 FOOTBALL This was a season that surely had its ups and downs. Coaches Rob- ert Hatch and Richard Eustis and Co-Captains Edward Lyons and Paul McAllister sorely realized the gaps that were left by last year's regulars, and also the lack of depth on hand. However, there were a couple of heavyweights that turned up this year that hadn't been counted on, in 'thc forms of Dick Brisson and Les Cooper. Together with the returning nine lettermen there was much green material, which in the words of Coach Hatch, The balance would hang. Because of Labor Day being so late, practice could not begin as early as usual, which left a little over two weeks before the first game. The squad was put through conditioning exercises in shorts and sneakers, and .learned only a few basic single wing formation plays. With these and a prayer the team met Lebanon High, an annual powerhouse, on September 18. Exeter threatened early in the first period on a blocked quick kick, but the necessary blocking to push the ball over was not there. As the game went on, Lebanon's weight and reserves were showing up, and on a weak side reverse, their 180-pound fullback scored from nineteen yards out. In the second half, an Exeter pass backfired into a Lebanon touchdown to make the final count, 12 to 0. By the way, Lebanon went on to ani und:-A feated season. ' Next week Hampton came to town for one of the hardest fought games ever seen in this area. Hampton scored first when a forward pass plus a lateral brought the ball to the Exeter four. The forward wall, bol- stered by McAllister and Ramsdell, dug in and held for three downs, but on the fourth a pass caught the Exeter secondary napping. Our boys struck back after intercepting a pass with Al Garland hitting the line and Ed Lyons skirting the ends. Lyons finally scored to make it 6 to 6. Hamp- ton scored again in the last eight seconds to win the decision, 13 to 6. Joe Costello called plays timely throughout the game, which kept Exeter in the contest. Hampton also -enjoyed an undefeated season. Exeter finally broke into the win column by trouncing Berwick Acad- emy on their own field, 19 to 6. Long runs featured the contest. Lyons scored twice and Sophomore Chick MacDougall, who had just broken into the starting lineup, scored the other tally. The Somersworth game welcomed George St. Amour, who had been out for the first three games. Good blocking, running and passing pre- vailed to give Exeter its second win, 13 to 7. Garland and St. Amour took 120 PINNACLE 1949 turns hitting the line, while Joe Costello was hitting his receivers expertly. Blocking by the entire backiield enabled Lyons to successfully run the ends. The defense, ledby Dick Ramsdell, Paul McAllister, Dick Brisson and Bill Moran, was so tight that the Hilltoppers did not make a first down until the second half. Kennebunk took us, 14 to 0. There wasn't much to say for this game except that they were big. Exeter couldn't seem to put more than one or two first downs together. With Lyons and McAllister on the injured list, and Costello unable to get to the game, an undefeated Pinkerton team proved that they were as strong as ever, by whipping us, 39 to 13. George St. Amour's and Chris Rowe's touchdowns were one of the few things Exeter could talk about. Franklin High was really gunning for us this year, and they rubbed it in to the tune of 46 to 0. Don't think that the fellows weren't fighting all the way, they were. Actually this was a high point in our season, be- cause the boys showed that they could take it on the chin and come back for more, which is much harder than winning gracefully. In our final game, an Armistice Day affair with Traip, typified the tough breaks that had occurred the entire season. Intercepted passes, fumbles and messed up kick-offs, gave Traip an easy win, 33 to 0. The junior varsity football team, under Coach Fred Carr of the Sem- inary, had a fairly successful year, but what is more important, they gained valuable experience for future elevens. On November 24, thirteen players were the recipients of football let- ters from Coach Hatch. Stars were awarded to Co-Captains Edward Lyons and Paul McAllister, Richard Ramsdell, William Moran, George St. Amour and James Leddy. Those earning letters were John Booth, Rich- ard Brisson, Leslie Cooper, Joseph Costello, Charles MacDougall, John Parker and Francis Willett. This year's Seniors have not left behind a gilt-edged record but they do leave behind a challenge to future teams. We leave with Co-Captains- elect Jim Leddy and Dick Brisson our best wishes for a season more suc- cessful than the 1948 season. ROBERT IRVINE. 1949 PINNACLE The schedule: E. Lebanon .

The third day after the opening of school, a small group of Seniors and Juniors gathered in the biology room to try out for cheering. When fifteen minutes had gone by and the group had not enlarged any, it was agreed upon that the Sophomores would have a chance to try out also. The next afternoon, a much larger group from the three upper class- es assembled in the lab. Tryouts lasted throughout the afternoon. Two days later, Miss Trovato and Mrs. Keene announced that the new cheer- leaders were Phyllis Johnson, Barbara Pickance, Sally Ray and Connie Churchill. The new girls and the three from the previous year, Jane Pin- eau, Nancy Allard and Joanie Broderick, met and elected the latter as their captain. After many weeks of practicing, and racking our brains for new cheers, we gave an assembly at the Seminary. The girls seemed satisfied with the additional cheers, and were very co-operative in learning them. With football season over, we started getting uniforms, megaphones. and new cheers ready. On Dec. 18, we went to the High School, and ran through the cheers for the boys. They also heartily joined in with us. We three graduating cheerleaders want to wish the best of luck to next year's cheerleaders, and hope that they will enjoy themselves as much as we did.

SWETLAND Approximately two weeks after returning from our summer vaca- tion, the first notice for hockey practice appeared on the home room black- boards of the four upper classes. For days the clashing of sticks and the flying of dust could be seen on the hockey field. After the final squad had been chosen, the girls settled down for some real rugged practicing. Robinson 5 - Hampton 0 On October 7 the Robinson team started the hockey season oi in a grand manner by defeating Hampton, 5 to 0. It was a one-sided game played on the Seminary field. Frances Jordan was high scorer with two goals. Phyllis Carbonneau, Phyllis Booth, and Anita Melanson, each were credited with one. Robinson 4 - Sanborn 1 To the great surprise of many Robinson followers, the Seminary eleven became victors over their powerful rivals from Kingston. Frances Jordan continued to display her high scoring ability by getting two goals. Mary George scored the only point for the down-hearted Sanborn team. Robinson 3 - Hampton 1 On October 19 we journeyed to Hampton to play a return game. The girls found themselves facing more competition on the Hampton Held than they had experienced on their home ground. Center Forward Phyllis Car- bonneau was high scorer for Robinson with two goals. Captain Lois Park- er scored the only point for the Hampton team. S A 126 PINNACLE 1949 Robinson 6 - Berwick 0 A very one-sided game was played on the Robinson hockey field on Oc- tober 26. Phyllis Carbonneau hit the ball through the goal three times to make herself high scorer. Co-Captain Marion Wilson, our efficient goal tender, was proud to say that she did not have to touch the ball once during the entire game, thanks to our fullbacks, Barbara MacKinnon and Mary Costello. Robinson 3 - Sanborn 2 The most exciting game of the season was played on the new hockey field in Kingston. At the end of the first half the score was a tie, 1 to 1. The Robinson girls returned to the field for the second half with a determina- tion to win. With four minutes to play, Right Forward Phyllis Booth hit the ball between the poles to give us a one-point lead. Kay Marcotte tied the game by getting another goal for Sanborn. With one minute remain- ing in the game Frances Jordan scored the winning point. We had ac- complished what was thought to be impossible, we had beaten Sanborn on their own field. Robinson 2 - Berwick 0 The game at Berwick was a very poor exhibition of the Seminary team's playing ability. The girls found it difficult to adjust themselves to playing on the Berwick football field which seemed twice as large as Rob- inson's hockey ground. Frances Jordan got the two goals that won the game for Robinson. Robinson Seminary is very proud of its undefeated hockey team. It is the sixth hockey team in the history of the school which has won all of its games. The team extends best wishes to next year's captain, Frances Jordan. We hope she will have as good a season as we had in 1948. The schedule: Hampton Sanborn . . Hampton , . . Berwick , . Sanborn . . Berwick . , A typical lineup: Left Wing-F. Jordan Left Forward-R.

They were: Captain Digger Stanley, Joe Costello, Dick Wiggin, Fred Towne, Paul Wentworth and George St. Amour. The other three players were Mert Jenkins, Chris Rowe and Pewee Taylor. A seventh Senior on the varsity, Bill Lamson, was forced to leave the team midway through the season and was replaced by Ted Bitomski. These boys turned out a fine record of 11 wins and 3 defeats. Exeter opened the season with five straight wins. They won at Ep- ping, 42 to 16, then traveled to Kingston where they took Sanborn, 58 to 18. Epping came to Exeter and was sent home with a 47 to 15 drubbing. Exeter made the long trip to Hillsboro where they also took the game, 45 to 42, in a hard fought overtime decision. The last game of the five was a slow 27 to 26 victory over Traip. Then the rains came. Exeter met her Alumni and dropped an over- time decision, 48 to 47. In two unscheduled games they lost first to Marble- head, 50 to 34, and the second to another Alumni team, 43 to 38. A re- venge-seeking Hillsboro quintet came to town and left a despondent Exeter High contemplating a 32 to 29 beating. Then came Pinkerton. This was the game everybody was waiting for. If Exeter could only take 'em, but the clouds still persisted, the deluge continued and Exeter lost, 45 to 34. After every storm comes the sunshine. So, as the clouds rolled away Exeter played fast inspired ball and showed what kind of a club they really were as they rolled over Hampton, 53 to 29. Feeling better now that they had broken what had begun to look like a jinx, Exeter waltzed over New- 130 PINNACLE 1949 market, 48 to 23, and after these two wins Exeter figured it would be easy at Somersworth. Things were looking a wee bit dark midway through the first period, with the score, 15 to 3, in Somersworth's favor. Digger Stanley was not ready to lose and playing his usual hard and fast ball he inspired his team mates to come from behind and win, 37 to 30. Traip was coming to town. We had beaten them by just one point- could we do it again? No, we couldn't, not by one point anyhow, instead we made it a 22-point margin, 57 to 35. The Eustismen traveled to Hamp- ton where both teams played nearly perfect ball. This was the most thrill- ing game of all the thrilling ones played. With the lead changing again and again, Exeter and Hampton fought it out, and of course the best team won. The final score stood, Exeter 50-Hampton 48. Sanborn was played again and Coach Eustis showed fine sportsmanship as he pulled out his varsity team after five minutes of the first period to prevent them from running up a score too big for the score board to hold. The score? It was 78 to 33. At Newmarket I heard a pre-game comment by Mr. Harriman which surprised and slightly amused me. It was Well, if we can somehow win this one, it will put us in the tournament. We had beaten Newmarket by 25 points previously, and I had not realized that this game could ice an in- vitation to the tournament for us. The fact, though, added greatly to the game, which I had expected to be a dull one. Believe me, the clinching of a tournament was not necessary to enliven this game. At the end of the third period, Exeter, hampered by the small court, found herself behind, 33 to 27. Again the clan aroused itself, and fighting tooth-and-nail, came back to win by four points, 39 to 35. At Somersworth we had to fight to win by seven points, but at home it was different. In the second meeting Exeter stamped Somersworth into the dust, 68 to 39, in a slaughter sur- passed only by the one we had handed Sanborn the week before. In the final game of the regular season, Exeter traveled to Derry where we led, 9 to 0, in the first frame, but finally succumbed, 58 to 47. In the Southeastern B League Tournament a much favored Exeter quintet was dumped by a hot sharp shooting Hampton five, 54 to 43. Due to their 11 and 3 record, Exeter was invited to the State Class B Tournament. St. John's, who was drawn for the first game, was fa- vored to roll over the Eustismen by at least ten points. Exeter not only outplayed St. John's, but led all the way up to the last five minutes, only to lose a heartbreaking game, 34 to 31. The last game played was with the Faculty. Instead of the slow game expected, the teachers surprised everyone by leading 12 to 3 at the end of the first period. However, the Senior varsity men won, 49 to 38. At the close of the season, stars were won by Captain Alfred Stanley, Frederick Towne, George St. Amour and Merton Jenkins. Letters were 1949 PINNACLE 131 awarded to Joseph Costello, Richard E. Wiggin, Forest Wentworth, Chris- topher Rowe and Manager John Parker. The lettermen elected Mert Jen- kins captain for the 1949-'50 season. Coach Eustis did a fine job of coaching and we wish to thank him for the quality of ball he presented to Exeter. Our congratulations to the boys who played every minute with their hearts in the game. Thanks also to Doc Colcord for keeping score. LESLIE COOPER.

Wilson P. Carbonneau S. Tupper M. Loranger E. Hill C. Cahill Manager - J. Broderick As usual the announcement of basketball practice drew a large num- ber of girls to the high school gym. Thirty-eight girls turned out to dis- play their basketball talents. The competition among the girls made it extremely hard to choose the final squad. After Miss Warren had made the final decision, we started preparing ourselves for our first game. Hampton 29 - Robinson 22 The first game of the season proved very disappointing to Robinson, as we bowed to a powerful Hampton team, on our home court. The Hamp- ton girls' fast passing team managed to keep a few points ahead of us through the entire game. Marlene Loranger, our left forward, was high scorer for Robinson with eleven points. Winnifred Barron was credited with sixteen points for Hampton. The final score was 29 to 22. Robinson 30 - Sanborn 26 On January 13th a very exciting game was played at Kingston. Every- time Sanborn made a basket Robinson followed suit. Robinson was los- ing at the half by three points. Something happened to the Seminary girls during the third quarter. The guards tightened up and played man to man defense allowing our opponents to get only four points in the last half of the game. Marlene Loranger swished the net with 12 points. Phyllis Carbonneau and Phyllis Booth followed with 10 and 8 points, respectively. Robinson 32 - Newmarket 19 The game between Robinson and Newmarket was another very close game. Robinson was ahead at the half by one point. Per usual we waited until the last half of the game to secure the needed points. Captain Phyl- lis Carbonneau was high scorer for the home team with 14 points. Robinson 26 - Traip 26 Neither team was victorious on January 26 when Robinson journeyed to Kittery, Me., to exhibit its basketball skill. The score was a tie at the half, 13 to 13. Substitute forwards were sent in as replacements, but still the needed points were not achieved. Our dependable guards displayed 136 PINNACLE 1949 excellent playing ability, but it was up to the forwards to score the points. Our left forward, Marlene Loranger, again was high scorer with 13 points. Robinson 30 - Sanborn 27 A return game with Sanborn Seminary was played at Exeter on Feb- ruary 1. Like all of the rest of the games this year itwas a close one. Rob- inson managed to keep a few points in the limelight throughout the en- tire game. Marlene Loranger, one dependable forward, was high scorer with 16 points. Phyllis Carbonneau followed with 10. Captain Marcia Collins got 17 points for Sanborn, making herself the high scorer of the game. Robinson 24 - Newmarket 18 The Robinson girls found themselves greatly handicapped by a very small court at Newmarket. During the first half very little scoring was done but as the game progressed we adjusted ourselves to the inadequate amount of space and scored enough points to win the game. Marlene Lor- anger lead the team with 11 points. Robinson 40 - Alumnae 20 On Saturday evening, February 5, spectators witnessed a very inter- esting basketball game at the high school gym. The Seminary Alumnae tried very hard to defeat the present team, but were unsuccessful. Every member of the Seminary squad received a chance to play in the game. The score at the half was 28 to 10, in our favor. During the half Coach Mac- Lane spurred her team on so that the regular Seminary starting six had to return to the floor in order to keep in the lead. Captain Phyllis Carbon- neau filled the hoop with 12 points for Robinson to be the high scorer. Eleanor Tufts and Captain Barbara Hood were high scorers for the Alumnae with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Hampton 28 - Robinson 21 On February 9th another hard fought game was played between Rob- inson and Hampton. The Hampton team's fast passing overpowered us once more. We tied the score once during the game, but it was all in vain, because the final score, 28 to 21, was in their favor. Marlene Loranger was high scorer with 14 points. Winnifred Barron led the Hampton team with 12 points. Robinson 26 - Traip 18 The Robinson team was very anxious to defeat Traip because it had come so close to beating them at Kittery. The score was very close during the first half. At the end of the half we were ahead by one point, 15 to 14. During the last quarter we managed to pull ahead of them to defeat them by 8 points. Marlene Loranger led the shooting pace with 10 points, while Phyllis Carbonneau and Phyllis Booth chalked up 7 points each. Robinson 31 - Faculty 28' On the evening of March 2 spectators poured into the Exeter High Gym. They were to witness a very thrilling game between the girls of 1949 PINNACLE 137 Robinson Seminary and the Faculty. The Seminary started the scoring with a basket made by Marlene Loranger. At the close of the first quarter, few baskets had been made, as was shown by the 8 to 2 score in favor of Robinson. All of the substitutes were put into the game by Miss Warren. At the clase of the half the score was Robinson 14, Faculty 5. In the third quarter the Faculty really started scoring. They were able to tie the score and even get two points ahead of us. The Seminary varsity returned to the floor once more. The excellent team work of the Seminary team won the game for them. The final score was 31 to 28. Captain Phyllis Carbon- neau swished in 13 points for the school girls to credit herself as high scor- er. Margaret Goodrich and Theresa McGowan were high scorers for the Faculty with 13 and 12 points, respectively. This year the Robinson basketball team was invited to attend a Play Day clinic at New Hampshire Hall in Durham. Coach Warren was unable to escort the girls to Durham. There were many teams from surrounding towns there. The teams were divided into two leagues. Robinson was in League II. We defeated Epping High and Holy Rosary of Rochester to make us champions of League II. Spaulding High of Rochester became the champions of League I. In the final game we lost to Rochester by five points. It was a very good experience for the girls and all who went en- joyed themselves tremendously. Best of luck to next year's basketball team, with Marlene Loranger and Eleanor Hill as co-captains. PHYLLIS CARBONNEAU. A typical line-up: Right Forward-P. Carbonneau Left Forward--M.

Sittin 1949 PINNACLE 141 BASEBALL With the coming of warm weather Coach George Knox issued his call for candidates, nine of whom were lettermen. Among the diamond crew men to return were: Burnham, Loch, Bell, Rowell, Sargent, Lyons, Stan- ley and Co-Captains Baillargeon and Flynn. With this team Coach Knox hoped to have a top-notch ball club. The first game with Dover was called because of rain with the score tied at three all. Hampton was the first to feel the real power of Exeter, losing 2-1, as John Flynn and Digger Stanley combined to allow only one hit. With Arthur fThe Cath Baillargeon pitching a crafty game, the Som- ersworth Hilltoppers were shut out to the tune of 3-0. Mert Jenkins saved many a run by making some spectacular catches. Falling short of their previous showings Exeter lost to the smooth Newmarket ball club, 6-4. Bell and Loch, each with one run, and Rowell with two runs, were the scoring men for Exeter. Two weeks later Exeter set the same Newmarket nine back, 4-1, with Rowell again making two of the four runs. Behind the five hit pitching of Digger Stanley, Exeter defeated its age-old rival, Hampton for the second time in the season to the tune of 5-3. Tony Loch and Gubby Burnham were the hitting stars of this game. Loch collected three hits and Burnham, two. Although Mert Jenkins did a praiseworthy job of pitching in the Somersworth game, Exeter was on the short end of a 3-2 score. Showing great power at the plate Exeter collected 11 hits to humble Traip, 12-4. Baillargeon starred on the mound and Loch at the plate, as he belted a two-run homer. Exeter was dropped by hard hitting Pinker- 142 PINNACLE 1949 ton by the score of 6-2, with Flynn and Stanley on the mound. Loch poled a triple while getting two hits for three at the plate, and Rowell did the running, stealing home once. Pinkerton in the return game won a heart- breaker from Exeter, edging them out, 7-6. Loch and Stanley did the heavy swatting for the Exonians, as they each hit two for four. After being rained out in the first game Exeter returned to overpower the Dover clan by the big margin of 8-3, with Mert Jenkins collecting two for three. Ending the season with a League Championship Play-off, the Exeter High contingent defeated Newmarket under the superb pitching of Bail- largeon, who led his team to a 5-1 victory. This win recognized Exeter as the Southeastern League Champions. Joe Costello was elected captain for 1949 by the following players who were awarded letters: Co-Captains Arthur Baillargeon and John Flynn, Gordon Burnham, John Bell, Robert Sargent, Ralph Rowell, Anthony Loch, Joseph Costello, Alfred Stanley, Richard E.

The results of the rugged training were obvious when the team displayed their skill by winning four out of six games. Ther success was due mainly to their excellent teamwork and to Miss War- ren's able coaching. Robinson 40 - Newmarket 12 1 The first game of the season was with Newmarket. It was a cinch for Robinson. After the first home run, made by Lenore Keaton, the home runs started pouring in at a remarkable speed when the game ended, we had a total of nine home runs. The final, score was in our favor, 40 to 12. Robinson 15 - Hampton 11 Our second game at Hampton was a close one. Shirley Wilson and Jane Leonard were high scorers with three runs each. We won with a score of 15 to 11. Sanborn 12 - Robinson 7 The next game was with our great rival, Sanborn. It was a hard struggle. Jean Graves hit a beautiful home run, but Sanborn managed to squeeze in a few extra runs to win by a score of 12 to 7. Robinson 32 - Newmarket 2 Our fourth game was with Newmarket at Exeter. The high scorer was Jane Leonard with seven runs to her credit, one being a home run. The game ended 32 to 2, in our favor. 146 PINNACLE 1949 Sanborn 19 - Robinson 10 During the next few days we practiced harder than ever, because we were to play Sanborn again. Another thrilling game took place with San- born winning, 19 to 10. Robinson 33 - Hampton 3 Our last game, with Hampton, made up for losing the two games with Sanborn. High scorers were Lenore Keaton and Anita Melanson with five runs each. We won with flying colors. The score was 33 to 3. In behalf of the 1948 softball team I wish the best of luck to next year's team. The schedule: Newmarket Hampton Sanborn . Newmarket Sanborn . Hampton . A typical lineup: Pitcher - P.

Fro X 1949 PINNACLE 149 TRACK Track started off enthusiastically with 25 spikesters trying to repeat last year's championship record. Coach John Anderson, taking over Gor- don Hathaway's berth, was glad to see six lettermen returning. On May 10, at the Exeter Academy, Exeter met Hampton in a dual meet. Exeter came out on top, taking the Beachtowners by the score of 66 to 56. The E.H.S. tracksters took seven first places and a tie for anoth- er, while Hampton copped six firsts and they, too, tied for a seventh first place. Outstanding for Exeter were Loch, Lyons, Parker and Flynn. In a quadrangular meet held at the Academy grounds with Somers- worth, Hampton and Milford, Exeter absorbed its first official defeat since track was inaugurated in 1947. It was by the narrowest margin-two- thirds of a point. The meet was in doubt until the last eventg that is how close it was. The track and field were very wet, due to the heavy spring rains. Somersworth won the meet when they gained a third place in the high jump. Ed Lyons paced the Exeter attack with 11 points and Tony Loch, with 10 points. Here are the team totals: Somersworth, 453 Exeter, 44 U33 Hampton, 41 1!3g Milford, 23 1f3. On a dismal day Exeter High invaded the state meet at Durham. The grounds were very wet and sloppy but the races went on in spite of the pouring rain, which did not let up until the meet was almost over. There were two sessions, one in the morning, the other in the afternoon. Sonny Rowell qualified to run in the finals of the 100 and 220-yard runs. The broad jump, which was held in a mud hole, was won by Tony Loch, who set a new Class B record in that event. Ed Lyons placed second. At this point, operations were suspended and the competitors enjoyed a free meal at the University of New Hampshire cafeteria. In the after- noon session, Rowell captured fourth place in the 100-yard dash, and took third place in the 220. In the mile and the 440, Exeter could not find its footing in the three inches of water which covered the track, and failed to place in those events. However, our standby for the half mile, Red Park- er, swam to a second place. It was still raining when Tony Loch took first place in the javelin and the high jump. His toss of the javelin was more than eight feet farther than the Class A winner. The relay race was the final event. Exeter came in a poor fourth but the Somersworth quartet was disqualified by the judges because one of its runners cut too sharply in front of another run- ner. Therefore, Exeter was moved up a bracket into third place which gave us the necessary two points that clinched the Championship by half 3 A typical lineup: 150 PINNACLE 1949 point. This gave the Exeter track team the Class B Championship for the second consecutive year. A plaque was awarded to the school in recogni- tion of the team's efforts. Captain Tony Loch was the big gun, with 15 out of the 26 points. Oth- er outstanding point-getters were Rowell, Lyons and Parker. Here are the first four team totals: Exeter, 26, Hanover, 255, Somersworth, 24, Hampton, 24. Much credit goes to Coach Anderson, and it is hoped that his charges will repeat again next year. Stars were awarded to Captain Tony Loch, Ralph Rowell, Edward Lyons, John Parker, Stanley Jones and William Lamson. Receiving letters were John Flynn, Donald Taylor, Harry Des- roches, Earle Ray, Ronald Coleman and Norman Desroches. GEORGE ST.

The hands were raised, the vote was taken, The negative side was badly shaken, Although a handful of students were cynical, This day marked The Birth of the Pinnacle. We started at once to make our plans, We divided our staff into appropriate clans, It was an enterprise never attempted before, And we found ourselves faced with problems galore.

LESLIE COOPER. 160 PINNACLE P 1939 LIFE IN GERMANY Upon request, Evangeline Broderick, who spent a year and a half in Ger- many, very kindly wrote a composition about her experiences there. Be- cause of its general interest the editors would like to include it in the Lit- erary section of the Pinnacle, Life in Germany is so different from life in the United States that i there is no possible way to compare the two. Everything in the E. T. O. fEuropean Theatre of Operationsj is under the command of the Army. This includes the commissaries, P. Xfs, schools, service clubs. In Germany one doesn't go shopping around for the best stores in which to buy things. He has exactly two choices in that line. They. are the Commissary for groceries, and the P. X. which is a clothing store and five and ten-cent store combined. The schools, although considerably smaller, are much the same as in the States. There are now five schools in Germany, and one in Vienna, Austria. Because there are so few schools, each school is equipped with two dormitories, a boys' and a girls'. Students who live in small sub-posts, live at these dormitories during the week. On the week-ends they return to their homes, and come back again on Monday morning. All of our teachers were American, with the exception of two German teachers, who had charge of the language department. The subjects of- fered in these dependent schools were the same as here with a few excep- tions. When I first arrived in Munich, in October of 1947, the school con- sisted of two large houses, the high school in one building and the elemen- tary school in the other. By May of the following year we had outgrown our first school, and were finally forced to move to a German school. Be- fore the war this school had been one of Hitler's famous Youth Camps. It was, therefore, very modern with automatic blackboards, and erasing ma- chines. Needless to say, our social activities were rather limited. Outside of a movie theatre, two Officers' Clubs, and several Red Cross Clubs, we more or less had to depend on ourselves for our amusements. This was rather difficult because most of the dependent families were scattered throughout Munich and three or four suburbs. Transportation was very poor last year. It was not unusual to wait anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours for a bus. When the Army busses became too bad, we used the Ger- man street cars called the Strassembahn. These were usually free for American Personnel, but you always rode with a constant feeling that your life was in danger. The Germans are still very resentful against all al- lied personnel. Now I should like to tell you something about the German people them- 1949 PINNACLE 161 selves. Right now they still feel very resentful toward the Allies, particu- larly toward the Americans. They still feel that we started the war. Ac- cording to most Germans they had never thought of going to war against the United States. You also have a very hard time trying to find a German who fought in the war. They absolutely refuse to admit that they had any- thing to do with the war. When they wish, Germans can be the most stubborn people in the world. They will argue and argue over something about which they know utterly nothing. Or in other cases they will deny knowledge of certain things, which you know they must have known about. For example, it is almost impossible to find a German in Munich who will admit that he knew anything about Dachau Prison Camp. Before and during the war, Dachau was one of the largest prison camps. 230,000 people alone were cremated there, and thousands of others died from different causes. Dachau is just four miles outside of Munich. Many times people were rounded up in the city and taken out to Dachau to clean up the camp. After knowing all this, the Germans still refuse to admit that they even knew that such a place as Dachau existed. There is no doubt that all of the Germans and D. P.'s QDisplaced Per- sonsl would like to get into the American Zone of Germany, for it is in this section that the Black Market thrives. There is a Black Market in al- most everything imaginable, in every kind of commissary food and P. X. items, but the greatest market is in American greenbacks. Despite all of our efforts, democracy is failing miserably. The Ger- mans simply are not ready for democracy. Never before in their lives have they been able to think for themselves. Now, suddenly, they have been told that they are free to choose whomever they wish to rule their com- munities. As a result many villages have re-elected their former Nazi leaders. Although we are trying to educate the younger generation, it is be- coming increasingly difficult. The parents are turning out to be the most difficult to handle. They are continually undoing all that the teachers do to try to promote democracy in the children. The thing that most Germans have against democracy is that they are starving on it. What good is it, most Germans ask, When we have nothing to eat ? It is the common feeling among most Germans that Hitler is still alive, and is now hiding somewhere in South America, probably in Argentina. I think that if Hitler did come back to Germany, all of Germany would fol- low him. In fact, they are already following another would-be dictator. This man's name is Alfred Lorenze, and most Germans say that he is as strong as Hitler ever was. Although it seems a hopeless job right now, maybe with time and pa- tience we shall finally be able to educate the German people to a more civ- ilized and western way of life.
