MAYNARD PHILLIPS TY SALUTATORY T is with great pride and plc. that we, the Class of 1942, welcome - our parents and friends. After four sl. years of hard work and good times we Fino ourselves sitting here before you as the grad- uating class. Tonight we are going to give you, not essays or research themes, but short stories about the sacrifices, achievements, and every- day living of a few of the just ordinary people in our America. These might very well be true. Perhaps they are pictures of some thing that has already happened some- where. In presenting this program we wish to extend our thanks to Daphne du Maurier, the author of that little book-of-the-hour, Come Wind, Come Weather. This book is a collection of short sketches-the Eng- lish mother who triumphs over bereavement, the miner who settled labor disputes at the pithead, the London merchant who brought about cooperation among his competitors- all these were people who were able to turn the difficulties of war time into opportuni- ties to spread a spirit of victory on the Eng- lish Home Front. In her message to American readers, Miss du Maurier says: In your country there are many replicas of the men and women in this little book. You will find them in your town, in your street, possibly in your own house. They will be among the pio- neers of the new America that you are going to build-an America whose claim to the proud name 'United States ' will have new meaning and purpose for the world and whose gay Hag, bright with stars, will not only be a true symbol of your own unity, but will point a finger of faith to heaven itselffi It is with thoughts of this message that we present an American adaptation of Come Wind, Come Weatherf' First we shall picture for you the news- paper reporter and correspondent, who ig- nores an opportunity for personal achieve- ment and recognition by postponing his scoop until it can do no harm to the people irw 'ved and no good to enemy agents. hen there is the test pilot who daily risks his life with the characteristic daring and nonchalance of Americans that our air forces may be superior. Next comes the story of the decoder, whose job is so vital to us that we could comprehend just how vital only if we were to suddenly lose all of these men. Next, a farmer, whose life work of rais- ing food, grows out of the humdrum of ordi- nary routine to an entirely new and exciting occupation. Lastly, there is the fireman of the humble oil tanker, who though he may be obscured from public praise, is just as important as the officer in gold braid. All of this program, excepting only the Address to Undergraduates, is our own con- ception of the everyday people behind the lines who are backing our armed forces to the limit. Halligan - ACE NEWS-HAWK Iack I-Ialligan, Philippine correspondent for the United Press, turned from his port- able typewriter with a half regretful sigh, ripping to shreds the sheaf of papers that he had just completed. It would have been a swell scoop,', was the thought that lingered 18 THE LAUREL in his mind. ':Oh, well, I can cable the story just as soon as we get there safely. What the heck am I complaining aboutl Dismissing these thoughts for the moment, he stood in the door of his worn and battle- scarred tent, gazing out into the thick, dusty heat of the army camp located somewhere in the Philippines. He reached for his sun- helmet and stepping out into the beating sunlight, made his way through the maze of tents and camp equipment towards the invit- ing green of the banyan trees beyond the clearing. A soldier with a huge white bandage en- veloping his head and right eye sat cleaning a rifle underneath the shade of one of the huge trees. As Halligan approached, the soldier flashed him a wide grin and the eye- lid of his good eye dropped comically in a solemn wink. How's the star correspond- ent today? Feeling kinda' nervous? Halli- gan's answering grin was both surprised and delighted. Didn't think any Iap could keep you down long, you old grampusl Squatting on his heels, lack offered the soldier a cigarette from a fast-dwindling package-his last. Their conversation was full of jibes at each other such as befit two very old friends. Suddenly the soldier became serious. All kidding aside, lack, are they planning to leave tonight? ,' Iack's affirmative nod brought fleeting lines of worry to the face of his companion. Sure hope you make it okay! The sun was just dropping behind the mountains when Iack shook hands with his friend and turned back into the clearing. There was a suppressed air of excitement and the atmosphere seemed to be charged with electricity. Halligan stepped into his tent, taking in- ventory of his few belongings that stood packed and ready. As he picked up his typewriter case, a white slip of paper caught his attention. Unfolding it, he read it at a glance, Tonight at 10. At ten o'clock a small party left the camp. Walking purposefully at their head was a tall, spare man whose clean-cut face por- trayed a relentless, almost grim determina- tion. At his side were his pretty, dark- haired wife and four-year-old son. There were several officers too whose erect bearing and keen faces marked them as being of the same Fighting creed as their friend and superior. lack Halligan walked alone in the midst of the few soldiers who had been de- tailed to escort the party to the shore, think- ing of many things, They made their way through the woods past the civilian refugee camp where 7,500 homeless Filipinos lived on their meager fare of rice once a day. Down through the woods to the shoreline where it breaks smoothly from the clusters of cocoanut palms. A trim powerboat awaited them in the dark, inky waters. Calmly, quietly, and efficiently all equipment, baggage, and pas- sengers were stowed away, and with a muffled roar the little craft disappeared into the shadows. The soldiers standing on shore were dark blobs against the white sand, but even their shadows looked a little bit forlorn. As the last echoes of the pulsating motors faded into silence, the figures slowly turned back to camp. No one save these few knew that General Douglas MacArthur had left the Philippines for the far-off shores of Australia. Ioan Greenwood '42, ur-r POWER DIVE EST pilot Iimmy Dale climbed into the cockpit of the new Army plane which had just come from the factory. Pulling his goggles down over his eyes, he signalled to the mechanics and the big ship quivered, came to life, rolled down the runway, and left the ground. Nosing the ship upward to get altitude for a test power dive, the circum- stances which had brought him into this type of work came to Iimmy's mind, and once more he was a senior in college on Com- mencement J' THE LAUREL 19 As the long white parchment roll was slipped into his hand, Iimmy Dale received the congratulations of the college president and then moved along behind his classmates off the platform and down to his seat. As he took his place among these fellows he had known in and out of college for the past four years, he wondered, rather hopelessly, where he went from here. Ahead of him sat Sandy Mathews, who had a good job as assistant manager of the factory in his home town. Beside him sat Iohnny Green, whose fathei was president of the bank. He then would step into the vice-presidency. On the other side was Tommy Steward, who had wise-cracked his way through college and was stepping into a salesman's job. What do I want to do? thought Iimmy. Through your four years here, intoned the speaker, and behind Iimmy someone moved restlessly trying to get comfortably situated for the long speech which was com- ing. Through my four years, thought Iimmy, remembering. How green he had felt that first day, coming from the quiet little town into this bustling college world. Then he had made the freshman football team and really entered into the college life. The thrill of hearing the crowd yell as he and the other fellows won the pennant in football for their college the next year. His junior and senior years passed Heetingly through his mind with the Debating Club, Iunior Prom, that home run with the bases loaded, and finally the big day. Then it was over and everyone was shaking hands, say- ing Good-bye, and Good luck, See you at the Alumni meeting. and Later as Iimmy walked toward the post office with the last boxes to be sent home, he thought again of what came next. As he approached the building, Iimmy noticed for the first time a new sign in front of the door - Uncle Sam Needs You, read Iimmy to himself. He does, does he? Well it's nice someone does. So What? He moved forward to push the door open then paused. Why not? If there was really a job for him-there were certainly chances enough for advancement-I'll give it a try any- way, muttered Iimmy moving forward ex- citedly. The next four days passed quickly for Iimmy. He filled out an application to join the Air Corps, answering all the questions about height, weight, education and so forth carefully. This he sent to headquarters and then waited. He talked the whole situation over with his parents, who agreed that it was perhaps the best solution to his prob- lem. About a week later there was a letter in the mail for him. It wasn't a long letter, but it gave him full instructions to report in one week to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he would begin his basic training as a pilot in the United States Air Corps. The first week in Tulsa was strange. There were four hours ground work every day. Iimmy found that his college days were not over. He had classes in naviga- tion, mathematics, signalling, mechanics, and many others. He discovered that there was much more to Hying than climbing into the cockpit of a plane, jiggling a few levers and taking off. He lived in barracks with the other cadets. He had to be ready for inspec- tion at all times, salute any officer that he met and obey all army regulations. His recreation was movies, dances, U. S. O. parties and still sports like tennis and foot- ball. Finally the day came when he was as- signed to an instructor, and flying became a reality. The first time Iimmy went up was a thrill which he never forgot, and he was sure he had not made a mistake in joining the Air Corps. After several practice trips with Iimmy at the controls and his instructor just behind him ready to take over, came the big moment. Iimmy came onto the field where his instructor stood waiting near the plane. When he arrived, the instructor said, You're on your own today, Dale. Iust six words, but Iimmy knew that his success or failure as a pilot was at stake. He was conscious of a feeling of suspense, a little 20 THE LAUREL fear, and a great deal of excitement. Dimly he heard the instructor tell him to circle the field twice and land. Iimmy climbed into the plane, muttered l'll need it, to his instructor's Good luck, and taxied down the runway. At first the instruments danced before his eyes and nothing seemed to work, then all at once everything became clear, and he felt as if he had always been flying. All of his instructions came back as the plane took off and he had a feeling of exultation as he set it down gently and killed the engine. After a few more practice trips, Iimmy was trans- ferred to Randolph Field, Texas. Here he received sixty hours of solo flying with in- struments. From here he went to Kelly Field, where he finished his course in forma- tion flying, received cross country flying and some work with guns. Here also he won his long coveted wings H and commission as second lieutenant. Because of his skill as a pilot Iimmy was chosen as a test pilot for the army. It was exciting, dangerous work and essential to the safety cf other pilots, but Iimmy wouldn't have changed places with anyone. He had reached the necessary altitude for the dive and pointing the nose of the ship down, he gave her the gunf' The power dive is to test the strength of a plane going at the speed of 600m. p. h. 400, 500, 525, 560, 580, and finally 600! Iimmy slowly and steadily pulled the big ship out of the dive and straightened it out. Coming down to the runway Iimmy was conscious of a feel- ing of entire satisfaction. Once more he knew a man's pride in the perfect work- manship of a huge plane. Once more he had done his bit for his country. Annette Vose '42. var THEY ALSO SERVE - - - HE Armstrongs, five in number, are just a typical American family living in a typical American town. Sam Arm- strong, the father, is a forty-six year old welder in a nearby defense plant. Mrs. Armstrong, forty-three, now that her chil- dren are all grown, spends her leisure time sewing for the Red Cross and attending First Aid classes. Ted, seventeen, is serving with the United States Navy somewhere in the Atlantic. Healthy twenty-two year old Dorothy, R. N., proudly holds the title of second lieutenant in an army camp in the South. Bill, twenty-four and the eldest, is -Bill is a decoder-But you shall hear his story. It all happened several years ago when Bill was still a student. Infantile paralysis, that scourge of youth, struck him down and left its devastating mark- crippled legs. But has that prevented him from doing his bit for his country? Far from it! Bill is a fighting man-Oh, probably no more than any other true American-but you know how we Americans are. When December seventh aroused the patri- otic fervor and indignation of the country, Bill's friends and associates immediately be- gan to join up with some branch of the service. They tried not to cast pitying glances at Bill and promised to write regu- larly. Bill smiled bravely, but then and there he vowed to invest every cent he could possibly get in War Savings bonds and stampsg for to him that seemed to be the only way in which he could help. But as time passed and Bill read more and more about the war, he began to get familiar with various jobs that such troubled times as these create. Among those attracting his attention was that of decoding messages. Now Bill has always remembered that he does not think with his legs. Bill's mind is keen and active .... During his years as a student he had displayed a special aptitude for real learning, his interest centering chiefly on foreign languages-Spanish and French. Thus Bill recognized Opportunity's knock. Immediately he began inquiries concerning the qualifications and duties of a decoder. . . . . The Listening Post on Long Island, where he is now on daily duty, is the result. THE LAUREL 21 When Bill wrote to Ted of this new job it seemed fine-wonderful, but he smiled wanly when he received his younger brother's thoughtless reply. It was fine he had the job, sure-But the letter was mostly of the cute little colleen he had met at one port and of the exotic French femme in another. I'm versatile, he wrote. Give me ad- venture and plenty of it Cwith dashes of romance here and therej and I shall be tres content. Didn't he too long for excitement and action? Didn't he too, want to really serve his United States? ' His chance to do this came sooner than he thought. It was during those grey, dis- mal hours of early morning. Things were pretty quiet when Bill was suddenly all at- tention. Z-38 off Brazil was sending a message to X-21 stationed on a submarine somewhere in the Atlantic. Bill became more and more excited as he adjusted the recorder to take the message. When it was decoded Bill knew that Z-38 had given to X-21 the location of an American airplane carrier which they were planning to torpedo. Thrilled and excited, Bill called his chief. His official duty done Bill's next impulse was to get home and shout aloud his news or write a letter to Ted. Hadn't he saved an airplane carrier from being sent to Davy Iones' Locker? Hadn't he done- On second thought though, would it be wise to make known to the public this little lfit of glory that was his? Bill, always prac- tical, always careful, decided not. But inside he was happy- for always now, Bill could have a sense of equality, a sure confidence in himself. What was that quotation they had learned in high school? Milton said it- he was blind-Oh, yes- They also serve who only stand and wait. Irene Goodspeed '42, ADDRESS T0 UNDERCLASSMEN T is to you, Underclassmen, that I dedi- cate this address. I will not attempt to advise, but I will attempt to point out to you some facts that I, as a senior, think are im- portant. We seniors are today confronted with the question of the future as you too will be in your time. To our minds come these ques- tions: Does your high school record really count? ,I Can your school be of any help when the time comes for you to look for a job or to go on to college or university? Will your superintendent, principal or teacher ever be called upon to recommend you? Have you ever asked yourselves these questions? Perhaps you have been saying, Iill get down to business after I get out of high school. I'll have my diploma and, after all, that's the important thing! Have you ever stopped to realize that this is not the important thing in whatever Held you may seek? The attitudes and qualities which you are developing in your high school days are important factors in your future success, and it is certain that sometime in the future-next month, next year or per- haps several years from now -your superin- tendent, principal .sr teacher is going to be asked to recommend you. Their recom- mendations will be based on such qualities as courtesy, dependability, cooperation, and industry, as well as your scholastic standing. If, for instance, you have decided to further your education by study in the col- lege or university, have you ever thought seriously what qualities will be required? Curtis Merriman of the University of Wis- consin says, quote, state laws and college regulations require that the student present a certain number of units of work that must be arranged to fit certain patterns of work. These are important, of course, but really the admissions officer wants some evidence along at least three other lines. He wants the freshman to come with a rather well balanced broad training. Many students have specialized too narrowly. He wants, in the second place, the record to show high quality because he knows that, in general, the student who has graduated from the high school in the lowest quarter 22 THE LAUREL of his class, has only about one chance in eight of surviving the freshman year. He notes, in the third place, the attitude that the student has towards his work. Is he satisfied to 'just get by'? Is he in school just to make grades? Or on the other hand, is he working up to his limit, and is he de- termined to gain real mastery of his work? Has he developed a life long interest in some worthwhile problem? If the student has learned to place supreme emphasis where superlative values lie, there is high promise for genuine suc- cess in college. All colleges have a hearty welcome for students who come thus en- dowedf' End quote. From William S. Carlson, the Director of Admissions and Records from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, we learn that, quote, The first evidence as to how well a student will succeed in college is found in his success in previous school work. Gen- erally speaking, those who do well in high school will do well in college. Those who get through high school with low standing cannot expect to succeed in college. Some students spend their high school years in play and do better work in college because they have become more mature and serious, but the number of students who show this change in attitude is small. Usually it is too late for this when students come to college. We are constantly searching for addi- tional means of making the prediction of college success or failure more certain and dependable. One valuable source of infor- mation is the estimate of the high school principal or faculty advisor regarding those qualities which largely determine the out- come of the student's efforts. The student,s high school principal or teacher will be glad to discuss these things with him. Another source is the information given by the stu- dent himself in his application for admis- sion. All this information is used judicially in the light of long experience to supplement and correct the college aptitude rating and to help or guide the student to do that which will be to his interest. End quote. Lctls take the University of Wisconsin for example. Some of the questions that they now ask about a student are these: How does his appearance and manner affect others? H Does he need constant prodding or does he go ahead with his work without being told? Does he get others to do what he wishes? How does he control his emotions? What progress has he made in learning how to think? Has he developed habits of study? The Uni- versity of South Dakota asks for such traits as the ability to study effectively, ability to read intelligently, curiosity about some in- tellectual ideas, love of books, willingness to work, good character, high school grades that are average or above. These are typical questions of universities and colleges all over the country. But, perhaps you are not going on in an extended phase of education. Nevertheless you will find that the qualities required in the colleges are very similar to those required in business corporations. Seventy-live cor- porations were asked to list, from their own experience, the most common causes for the discharge of office and clerical workers. Fol- lowing, in brief, are the results of this study. About ten percent of the people who lost their positions lost them because they lacked specific skill in shorthand, typing, English, bookkeeping, the use of office machines and the like. The thing that may be surprising to you, however, is that the approximate re- maining ninety percent were discharged be- cause they were considered deficient in cer- tain character traits. Among those which led in importance were non-cooperation, careless- ness, laziness, lack of ambition, dishonesty, lack of courtesy. I. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation states, quote, There is noth- ing secret about the manner in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation operates. Its formula is a simple one- intensive training, highly efficient and carefully investigated THE LAUREL 23 personnel, rigid requirements in education, conduct, intelligence, ability to concentrate, alertness, zeal, and loyalty, plus careful schooling in which we do our utmost to make every man to a degree self-sufficient. End quote. In conclusion if I were to set down a list of those old-fashioned virtues that still hold good, it would read something like this: honesty - industry - resourcefulness - courage - good manners - adaptability - dependability and hard, hard work. Ieanette Gould '42, YT' BEHIND THE. LINES T has been said that it takes fifteen people behind the lines to keep one soldier in the lines. These fifteen people do a great many varied jobs. They make the ships, tanks, and planes, they build the machines and produce the raw materials to make them, they transport them over wide lands and broad oceans. One of the most humble yet most necessary war occupations is that of the farmer. He must feed the soldiers in the front lines and feed the workers behind the lines. Mine is the story of such a farmer. Iudge Brown picked up the reins with a Get along there, Bill 5 whereupon the disgusted horse ambled down the road at a slow trot, but Bill wasn't the only disgusted one that day, for the Iudge, whose real name was Samuel Ieremiah Brown, was com- pletely disgusted-completely and thor- oughly disgusted. When the Iudge, usually of good temper and naturally jolly, got roiled up he really went on a rampage. Now, as he slapped the stubborn horse with the lines to get him out of the slow walk he had quickly fallen into after the first burst of speed, the Iudge kept muttering, Ninety dollars a week! Ninety dollars a week! Well, what do I care! Samuel Brown, more often called The Iudge by his neighbors, not because of any relationship to the court bench, but because of his knowledge of everything in general, was the owner and sole operator of a two hundred acre farm, that is, he was-but at the present time he was also the foreman, hired hand, and chore boy. His son, Samuel Brown, Ir., had joined the air corps the year before just after finishing high school. The Iudge took that as it had to be. He wanted young Sam to be a success and aeronautics did seem to be one of the most promising fields. Of course, the Iudge had hoped that by now his son and heir would be running a corn-planter insteadx of an airplane. But he was proud of his son's part in the war effort. The war effort. That was what got the Iudge. He didn't seem to be helping in the least himselfg and he wasn't fifty yet, cer- tainly not old enough to be put away on the shelf. The boy had left in the spring, the hired man had left in the fall. Iake, that was the hired man, had considered it his duty to go to work in the ship yards, and now he was getting ninety dollars a week- more than the Iudge could pay him a month. Sometimes the Iudge had begun to wonder if it was all patriotism. As he pulled into the maple lined drive- way that led to his farm buildings, the Iudge scanned the road behind him and remarked to Bill, There hadn't ought to be so many cars on the road if the farmers can't get enough gasoline for their tractorsf' Bill flicked an ear. The tractors are necessary on some farms. Even this last remark didn't bother the staid Bill anyg he knew his master was too proud of good horse flesh to worry about tractors and the Iudge's next remark was his usual explanation, Well, the gasoline that will run the neighbor's tractors would run an army tank. What tha- This last was caused by Bill's abrupt halt at the corner of the house. The Iudge soon saw the reason for the in- terruption in the progress to the stable door, for parked in the middle of the driveway in front of him was as new a car as there is the Iudge thought, wondering whom they had for company now. A quick glance around showed him an official look- ing stranger walking down his cow lane. 24 THE LAUREL The stranger, on getting within speaking distance, inquired, Are you Samuel Brown, the owner of this place? They call me Iudge, was the curt reply, for the Iudge was not yet entirely restored to good humor. I'm a government agent trying to esti- mate the crops this year. You've got a great farm heref' he stated. The Iudge had climbed down from the wagon and walked around to Bill's head by this time. I'm glad to see you use horses and don't depend on gasoline for your power, con- tinued the visitor and added approvingly, You,re certainly doing your share to win the warf' The Iudge spoke up then. That's just the trouble, he said. Don't seem to me I am doing much out of the ordinary. Lots of times lately I have figured maybe I ought to leave the farm and work in one of these fac- tories as everyone else is doing. The stranger thought a moment looking around over the carefully handled farm- lands as he did so. Did you ever hear, he began, the statement by Secretary of Agri- culture Wickard, 'Food will win the war and write the peace'? The Iudge nodded. Yes, well- said the agent, climbing into his car, you're doing your part and if more people did the same, we would be bet- ter off, so keep on with the good work. And say--maybe you'd like to go around with me next week. You know this section better than I dof' He drove out of the yard and the Iudge went about his chores. That night, after devouring Betsy's baked potatoes and early peas with a little more relish than usual, he started through the shed into the barn to do the night chores, whistling as he went. From the shed door, the Iudge looked over his domain proudly for the Hrst time that year. As he turned to go to the barn he stumbled over an old red paint cang this gave him an idea. Now how did that go-H he muttered, fumbling around in a pile of odd paint' brushes to find one that would scrape the little remaining paint out of the old can. Food will- Food will win-oh, yes, that's it. By this time he had found a suitable brush and a piece of old board off the kin- dling pile. This last he squared up with an axe and headed once more forthe barn. When he reached the barn doors, he stopped, laid down his equipment, and started to work. M-O+T-T-O, he wrote first in the center of the board at the top. Then work- ing laboriously with his scanty paint and old brush he began, in large capitals- F-O-O-D I'-then, in smaller size, w-i-l-l w-i-n t-h-e w-a-r, a-n-d w-r-i-t-e t-h-e - Cand Hnally in capitalsj P-E-A-C-E peace. After finishing the last he sat back and observed his handiwork. Picking up the hammer and nails ne had secured from his tool box, he stood a ladder against the barn door. Over the top in the center of the barn he placed his board, then, after fastening it solidly, he climbed back down and surveyed his work. For several minutes he stood there reading it over to himself. Food will win the war and write the peace. By golly, I am doing my part, he exclaimed, and pick- ing up his milk pails he trotted off to the tieup whistling. Lois Cohoon '42. YTD' PETER SWENSON-Fireman ETER SWENSON walked slowly down the narrow cobblestone street by the waterfront. As he ambled along with his hands thrust in the pockets of his heavy jacket, his mind was occupied with a vital question. And, in connection with that question, he could not keep the events of the previous month from rushing back into his Peter felt that he would never thoughts. forget the experience he had been through then. It had happened while the oil tanker Northern ,' was steadily making her way through the rough Atlantic a few days from port. Peter was a fireman on the North- ern, and like the rest of the crew, had been THE LAUREL 25 eagerly looking forward to reaching America again. It was hot down there in the engine- room, and the men, stripped down to the waist, glistened with sweat. But the work seemed much easier and the men were con- tented, for they were glad to be near home again. An instant later, however, their thoughts were abruptly interrupted by an unexpected tragedy. For at that moment the seaman on watch shouted a dreaded warning. He had caught sight of a long narrow shape skulking be- neath the surface a little distance from the tanker--a submarine! Hardly had the sound of his voice died out when an ominous white line began streaking toward the ship. When the torpedo struck, the explosion shook the men from their positions and left open a gaping hole near the rriiddle of the tanker. As Peter scrambled up the ladder, he heard the officers shouting orders and the hurried footsteps of the men as they rushed to obey them. The sight of the deck astonished Peter, for everywhere was twisted debris, and the whole ship was slanting at an un- natural angle. Above the general confusion he heard the bewildered cries of those hurt in the explosion and the rattle and splash of the lifeboats being put over the side. Peter took his place in the last lifeboat to pull away from the tanker, which was set- tling fast. As he looked back, he saw the bow rise high in the air-hesitate, and then dis- appear from sight. ln the meantime a new peril arose to threaten the survivors-the oil which had spread over the sea had caught Fire and now swept in all directions in angry, crackling flames whipped up by a rising wind. Peter could not see the other lifeboat, but when he heard the desperate shouts of the men, he knew that they had been unable to escape from the fire. The next morning as light spread over the restless, tossing water, Peter and his few companions were picked up by a destroyer on patrol duty. But that had all happened a month ago, and now, as Peter walked along by the water- front, he tried to erase those memories from his mind, for he had an important question that he must decide on at once. As he walked along, a bold sea breeze slapped his clothes about him. Down by the dock, a ship was making ready to put out to sea. There was a small commotion on the deck, and Peter saw that the Ameri- can flag was being run up the mast. In- stinctively Peter paused. It was a symbol that stood for the ideals of the American people- freedom and justice for all.', It was an emblem of loyalty, courage and de- termination . . determination . . . Then and there Peter found the answer to his question. With a lift of his shoulders, he turned into a nearby building. A few minutes later he stood in front of a desk looking down at a paper before him with a satisfied feeling. He knew he had decided his question the right way. On the paper were the names of men who had signed up as seamen on an out-going tanker, and at the bottom of the list, scrawled in generous letters, was the name- Peter Swenson, fireman. VALEDICTORY Members of the faculty: The graduating class of 1942 appreciate the guidance and help you have given us throughout our high school years. From the time we took our places in the Main Room as bewildered freshmen until now, you have been more than teachers to us. We feel that you are true friends. Your kindness and interest will always be a source of in- spiration to us. I join my classmates in ex- pressing sincere regrets at changing our pleasant association. Classmates: We have been looking forward to our graduation for four seemingly long years, but now that it has actually come, we realize how quickly the time has passed. From here on we shall no longer be a group. As we separate, each to his own way, let us bear in mind the most important lessons we have 26 THE LAUREL learned-the ability to get along with others, the courage to face a situation squarely, and charity to everyone. We are going forward now to join the ranks of American men and women. Op- portunities in our country are limitless, and we have ambitions which will help us find the places that are waiting for us. Few of us will achieve fame, but all of us may achieve greatness, for as one great philoso- pher has said, The first test of a truly great man is humility. Mary Thea Sinskie '42. TT' ADDRESS OF WELCOME-CLASS DAY ARENTS, teachers and friends: I am very grateful for the opportunity to welcome you to these, our Class Day exer- cises. Mothers and fathers, we are greatly in- debted to you for giving us this opportunity to begin and complete our education from the primary through the secondary schools. You are, right now, probably more aware of the fact that we are rapidly withdrawing our dependence on your never-failing help and guidance, than at any time previous, because of the uncertain future that each of us must face. We, the Class of '42, do now express our humble thanks to you for giving us such a splendid start towards a successful life no matter what this war-tattered world may offer. We realize the sacrifices that you, our parents, have made to give us far greater opportunities in many cases, than were ever made possible for you. Teachers, to you who have endured and tirelessly striven to give us a true conception of our reason for being in high school, we are truly grateful. Yes, grateful in every sense of the word, for through your efforts and patient understanding we have been really guided to these, our Commencement exercises. Class Day exercises are the most happy and entertaining of all the Commencement. Class Day is a day set aside for reminis- cence, prophecy and a rollicking good time, so let's all have fun and enjoy the program. Earl Knapp '42, CLASS HISTORY SHALL parents, mates, from speak to you this afternoon, teachers, friends and class- the book of history, wherein are recorded the deeds of all men, even to the Class of 1942. And it came to pass in the year of grace, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight, that ninety and four inquiring young sheep stepped hesitantly into the portals of the Temple of Learning. At that time there dwelt on the Mount of the Main Room, a certain Bryantite, a shepherdess, who started this flock on the long way through the Valley of Trial to the Mount of Wisdom. Now it happened in those days that the sheep gath- ered themselves together to name their lead- ers, and sitting in council did choose unto themselves a tablet of rulers namely- Supreme Ruler-Earl Knapp, Assistant Ruler-Mary Thea Sinskie, Keeper of the Records--Ioan Greenwood, and Holder of the Monies-Robert Starbird. And then with a mighty mien they sent forth their first guardsman, Maynard Phillips, to the student tribunal. And as time passed the Supreme Ruler again gathered together his Hock and went with them to a meeting, an annual honoring of the new flocks. And there was at this formal receiving, bestowed upon one Alwyn, Nichols by name, the male babe of the flock, and Martha of the Callahans, the female cherub, a prize apiece, some sweetening on a stick. And a goodly number of this Hock waxed musical under the leadership of Mistress Perkins-songsters, blowers of wind in- struments and Hddlers-all gave fine per- formances at the concerts. Some who had ability in art, like Con- stance skilled with the stencil and Iris with the pen and brush, were guided through THE LAUREL 27 Pictorial Valley to the Mount of Recogni- tion, by the Picture Scribe Webster. And the flock rejoiced when another fall- ing of the leaves occurred, for the gates of the Second Temple were opened, and they were delivered unto a certain Sommerite, who expounded unto them the proverb: Do unto others as you would have them do unto youf' And again sitting in council the flock dc- cided to keep their same leaders, sending only one Martha, the Callahan, as second guardsman to the student tribunal. And lo, word was soon spread forth of the holding of this year's feast of music and dancing. Therefore committees were given forth and one Iohn, Carman by name, was proclaimed the chief. And in the hall ar- rayed by Betty, the true McCoy, were dis- played all the signs of bodily skill and feats of strength-the ski, the snowshoe and the skate. And behold over all as a canopy, there floated balloons-red, green, yellow, blue and purple. And it so happened in this year, one thou- sand nine hundred and forty, that the curse of the football between the Wiltonites and the Farmingtonites was broken by the help of our mighty men of valour-Harold surnamed Iudkins, Frederick the Simpson, and one Iohn of the Hagerstroms. Thus the multi- tude gathered at a huge bonfire held in celebration thereof. And lo, this same year, there appeared on the Pinnacle of Music, three hand-maidens -one lean, Metcalf by name, Ieanette of the Goulds, and Naomi surnamed Farmer. There came also this year a certain Excel- lent Woman, one Skillin, who taught to both male and female members all the skills domestic. Her favorite teaching was the Parable of the Cow fVerily, no chops are there found in the ox or cowj. And it came to pass at the third falling of the leaves, that the sheep journeyed to a new pasture, a Valley of Valiant Endeavor. Here upon a rock there dwelt la bonne maitresse Tarrite. Ah, what happy days were those! Many of this goodly company were now lost upon the way so that but seventy and three were there left. Irene, the Goodspeed rose to the seat of Keeper of the Records, and Iohn the Carman was sent forth to the student tribunal. Time came and went and before many settings of the sun the emblem of the gold ring was chosen as a sign and a seal for this flock. Thus were the members more closely banded together. Now it so happened in this same year that a certain few waxed frolicsome. And when on the annual eve of marketing The Show- boat Review f' was presented in public as- sembly, several displayed new forms and costumes to appear in the performance of blackfaces. Now it also happened in this year that a man from a far away city came to their pas- ture and proclaimed to all the goodly sights to be seen at the mighty seat of justice, a place called Washington. And behold a time was set for the holding of this year's rejoicing, a formal gathering of music and dancing. Thus the sheep ar- rayed themselves in their best wools and went forth to the merrymaking. And entering the hall they found themselves on board a vessel, made real with pictures of the creatures of the sea - the crab, jellyfish, snail, lobster, and sea urchin. Now at the fourth falling of the leaves, this Hock came near to the Pasture of Achievement. And it was with deep regret that this year they felt the absence of the good shepherdess Howard, who had guided so many flocks in their Final pasture. But arising on this Mount was a Nunan, who patiently watched over them and taught them, both to govern themselves and ob- serve the world about them. And when the day Finally came for the judging of rulers, the flock sent forth word that the same tablet should sit in authority. However, it so happened that by a new ruling of the Temple the guardsmen of the student tribunal were changed. New mem- bers were sent forth-one Maynard the 28 THE LAUREL Phillipsiteg Carlton, the Walker, Ruthada surnamed Lewin, and one Elaine, Barton by name. And it came to pass that word was then whispered of the choosing of actors for the stage. The name of the drama was not of the bold. And of all the goodly company chosen for that performance, none achieved greater excellence than Mary of the dark wool, and George the poet, whose favorite passage was, A white goat on a mountain top. And thus after patient waiting the sheep grown older were gathered in final meeting before separation, from whence each should seek in his own pasture. Tokens of remem- brance were exchanged, and joyful yet touched with sorrow they departed. And as they looked back they remembered the say- ing of old -- Many are called but few are chosenf, Elaine Barton '42, CLASS PROPHECY Information, Please - 1942 Style OOD afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Ever since I took up my duties in the U. S. Employment Service five years ago in the fall of 1942, I have often been re- minded of the outstanding qualifications of some of my former classmates at Farmington High School. With the hope of benefiting them, as well as the public in general, I am staging this program, Information, Please - 1942 Style. To ensure its success, I have called on those three master minds of the Class of 1942 to assist me in placing, perhaps, some of my classmates in positions where they can bet- ter fulfill their desires and qualifications. May I introduce, then, these three master minds: first, Mr. Franklin P. Adams Star- birdg next, Mr. Iohn Kieran Chandler, and third, Miss Oscarene Levant Edwards. As a guest this afternoon, it also gives me great pleasure to introduce Miss Dorothy Thomp- son Farmer. And now that we are all acquainted, let's get on with the program. Walker: A few days ago I received a let- ter from Smith College. They are in need of two new faculty members. One to head the French department and one for the Latin department. Are there any members of the Class of '42 who might fill these positions adequately? . Farmer: Renaud Cyr could L' parley-vous pretty well, and Mary Hoyt should be able to fill the Latin position. She survived four years of it at F. H. S. Walker: The next inquiry comes from the R. Richards' psycopathic hospital. There are two positions open there. One is an ambulance driver. Have you any sugges- tions? Chandler: Remember Iohn Hagerstrom? He would make a swell ambulance driver. He showed plenty of skill behind the wheel, and never lost any time in getting places either. Walker: There is also an opening for a dietitian. Yes, Mr. Chandler? Chandler: Iune Estes comes to my mind. A pretty thought at that. She seemed the type that could plan a balanced diet. Walker: While we're on the subject, I hear that Molly Byrd and Dr. Gillespie have had another set to, and she is through for good this time. Who could step into her shoes as Supt. of Nurses? Starbird: Elaine Barton was always good natured. It seems to me that she could smooth down his ruffled feathers. Walker: At the present time you know the army is looking for men with more and more mathematical ability. Yes, did you have something to say, Miss Edwards? Edwards: Well, I was thinking of Freddie Simpson-but I guess his abilities run along some other line. He was an all-round fellow though. He'll always get along. Edwards: Speaking of old times, Ioan Greenwood has been much in demand for her journalistic ability. Walker: We don't need to find a job for her. She seems to be running things for the Pinkham Daily. We have some more applications here to consider however. THE LAUREL 29 Didn't Here is one for a commercial artist. we have some artists in the Class of '42 Arlene on the Greyhound Barker. Peahaps they could collaborate. Farmer: If I remember correctly, Tracy and Connie Connors figured Walker: Trans-Atlantic Airways are ex- panding their personnel, especially along the mechanical line. Starbird: I know someone for that posi- tion. Harland Bryant. He's put together hundreds of Megow's airplanes, and with all that experience, he should be an expert at aviation mechanics. Walker: Of course you know that there are jobs continually open in the shipyards. Perhaps some of our classmates could work in there. Starbird: There was a person who lived in West Farmington by the name of Robert Luger, who was always building boats and sailing them up and down Sandy River. Maybe he could furnish the government with some valuable information on How to Build a Battleship in Ten Easy Lessons. Walker: The Wear Every Tire Company just sent in an application for someone to take charge of the mail order department since business has become so prosperous. Who was eflicient and reliable enough to handle a job like this? Farmer: It seems to me they want quality before quantity. Cleo Myshrall just seems to kill that order. She was little, but oh, my! Walker: By the way, since the war, farms have become more important, and Sleepy Hollow Farm needs a new foreman. Yes, Miss -- Edwards: May I suggest Orrison Moody. He had plenty of experience in driving a farm truck loaded with milk cans. Through rain, snow or shine, that faithful Ford rolled into F. H. S. Walker: Perhaps you know that the Ior- dan Chemical Company has just been taken over by the government, and they want a capable laboratory technician. Someone with a sense of curiosity. Starbird: assisted in What about Mary Sinskie? She formulating some of the most noteworthy explosions that occurred around Perhaps she would consent to divulge her formulas. Recently the Axis forces came F. H. S. Walker: out with a new and deadly instrument of war. As yet the Allies have been unable to match this new invention. Yes, Mr. Chandler? Chandler: Norman Foss I think could draw plans for a new machine to overcome this obstacle. He could always figure out why X was equal to Y, and why the square of the hypotenuse was equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. I think he would be a valuable asset to the govern- ment. Walker: The Women's Society for the Causes and Cures of War, which was formed for the abolishment of the Axis powers, is seeking a national leader. Who would be a possible candidate? Farmer: Why not have Martha Millett? She always did show great concern for others. Besides that she possesses the nec- essary qualifications for a speaker. Walker: By the way, as l was walking down Spencer Avenue one day last week, I met one of our former classmates, a girl on each arm, both in stitches of laughter. Three guesses. Who is it? All fin unisonj: Russ Robbins! Walker: Madame La Zonga is trying to shorten her dance course from 6 lessons to 3. She wants a talented understudy to help her in carrying out her plans. Farmer: Winona Ramsdell would be all right. She's been a hit on the dance floor. Walker: According to a recent Sports Bulletin from Pippin College, they now have the most advanced methods of Physical Edu- cation since its beginning. I became inter- ested in the fact that this instructor was a member of F. H. S., class of '42, Now who do you think this could be? Edwards: That's obvious. It couldn't be anyone but Annette Vose. She was entirely wrapped up in the subject. 30 THE LAUREL Walker: At the exclusive Wilmont Hotel, they desire two first class women to H11 the responsible positions of dietitian and head cook. Do you know of two people for this? Edwards: It always seemed to me that Sylvia Walker and Doris Taylor would work together. They seem to be a logical pair. Walker: An inquiry comes from the per- sonnel department of the Woodberry Ten 8: Up Store. Did we have anyone that would be suited? Farmer: Well, Iris Huff started climbing the ladder at I. I.'s. She should be an A-No. 1 saleswoman. Walker: I have been requested to single out an outstanding athlete to promote a new Physical Education program at Goodwill. Chandler: None could be better than that star tackle, Harold Iudkins, but it was an- nounced yesterday that he has been selected from the entire Naval Unit at San Diego, California, as honorary football coach of the ever famous teams at Annapolis. Walker: Here is an application for a companion for the retired Mrs. Welltodo. Chandler: I think Iean Collins would just fill in there. She would certainly make a good companion. Walker: A call comes from Mrs. Ritzy for a children's private tutor. There surely were girls in our class interested in children. Edwards: What about Inez Goings? She had ideas of her own. Or perhaps Gladys Knowles would have more patience. Walker: The Flying High Aircraft Com- pany needs a dependable night watchman. Have we such a recruit? Chandler: That quiet little Edwin Kelley, contrary to belief, had considerable practice at keeping late vigils at Vienna. I imagine he could go on from there very successfully. Walker: This is rather out of order but just yesterday I saw Stanton jackson, dressed to kill. I tried to speak to him, but there was such a mob about him that it was an impossibility. I wonder what he is doing? Starbird: Oh, since he made his surprise discovery of Young Fighting Sampson, the predicted Champ, his name has been in big letters in the sports world. Ilm surprised you didn't know that your classmate had become the trainer for the world's future heavy weight champ. Walker: We still have a few more appli- cations to Fill. Here is one from Don Leckie, who wants a personal secretary. Edwards: I know just the one. Phyllis Parker. Remember her offnce training, and at least the name would appeal. Walker: Alice Dixon Bond is making an opening for an apprentice in her literary column. Whom could you suggest as a lit- erary critic? Farmer: Ruth Lewin had her own opinions and she knew how to express them. Walker: One of our leading wholesale dress manufacturers is looking for a designer. I have a faint recollection of someone in our class who was pretty good at that. Can any of you recall such a person? Starbird: I know. Betty McCoy could dis- play as well as design dresses, only I believe she is otherwise occupied. Walker: Recently the Cooperative Beauty Parlor Company wanted to hire an efficiency expert. I don't remember anyone who took up that work, do you. Chandler: A job like that would require a lot of common sense. Maybe Mary Nile could take over there, and furthermore I believe that was in her field. Walker: We usually have a hard time find- ing people to take part-time jobs, but here is one offering office routine work. Edwards: Well, I understand that Lillian Weymouth may be otherwise engaged, but she might have time to take that job along with her housekeeping. Walker: Mr. Beedlebum, more commonly known as Mr. Coffee Nerves, wishes to hire someone with a knowledge of nutrition to plan more balanced meals for him. Farmer: Blanche Tibbetts was outstanding in Home Ec. and I think she's had some practical experience in getting meals, now. THE LAUREL 31 Walker: Here is an interesting one. South Bend is in need of a school man-a super- intendent. Did we have a prospective school man in our class? Chandler: It wouldn't be Robert Wells. He always reminded me of a canary in a cage when he was at school. His only boundaries were the wide open spaces. Walker: And so friends, we have finished the applications for today. We hope that our findings will be beneficial both to the employer and the employee, and I want to classmates who have so my memory. Until we thank these four capably refreshed meet again, then-aurevoir. Carlton Walker '42. -rv CLASS DAY ORATI ON Patriot-ism N these days when we hear so much about Fascism, Naziism, and Commu- nism, I have chosen to bring to your attention the true ism of America-Patriot-ism. This is what inspired the founding fathers and should be uppermost in the mind and heart of every citizen. Those men gave their lives that our early America might progress and grow strong. The Stars and Stripes was their emblem, and they were willing to die for it. Even though we may not be required to lay down our lives, today, to show our devo- tion for our country, we can exemplify our belief in many other ways. How our feel- ings are stirred when we hear the opening bars of The Star Spangled Banner l But no matter how joyously we may wave our hats-since cheering when the flag goes by does not necessarily denote that we are true patriots -we must ask ourselves these questions: Am I a true Patriot? What is Patriot-ism as a way of life-as a belief? How may I become a better patriot? History is replete with the exploits of patriots who held a deep loyalty to their country. One way in which the patriot of today may prove his love of country is by bringing before others the full realization of the dangers of dictatorship-and of how rapidly these doctrines spread in our coun- try. If we are not able soon to check these insidious creeping things from our United States, our government will be undermined completely. If this happens we cannot feel that we have done our job, but rather shirked that left us by the builders of our constitu- tion. Another way in which people can practice Patriot-ism is by being active citizens. They can help to make and keep the prosperity of their town or city. They can be public minded enough to want to know what is go- ing on in all parts of their local, state and national governments, to appreciate the ad- vantage Americans have, and to remember that it was bought at a great price. We think of Patrick Henry at the Virginia Con- vention, George'Washington at Valley Forge, Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburgh, Wood- row Wilson at the peace table of Versailles, and young Colin Kelly over Hawaii. At the present, many people are willing to Fight for their country valiantly, but gradu- ally our chief thought is coming to be to make war impossible and to promote a final and lasting peace. This total war effort means total sacrifice to help the poorer and weaker classes of people. Patriot-ism does not die, but at times it seems asleep and in need of a vital event to arouse the people to a realization of their valued institutions. A Britisher of London was known to say when the first of the air raids had slackened, What this city needs is one good bombing a month. Maybe then we would keep awake. Today on our own fronts no man has been more glowingly alive than General Douglas MacArthur, but there are others too. There is the small man in the army, in the navy, in the marines, and on the home front. Such men have the same beliefs as had our earlier patriots. Their anger is keyed to a just pitch, because in a world where all men are created equal, many peoples are now enslaved. They are angry with the persecuting nations and are doing all they can to aid the victim and to over-turn their soulless tormentors. In short, the true patriot 32 THE LAUREL has no racial prejudice, for in true Patriot- ism there is no race hatred. Another blot on the civilization of today is the way the dictator governments are swiftly distorting the thinking of their peo- ple. Hitler is drilling Naziism into the minds and hearts of German youths, mak- ing students into soldiers, when they should be devoting more of their time to the peace- ful pursuits of youth. Do the people of our country want this to happen here? Of course not! And the way to avoid it is to educate the youth of America against it. The youth of America should know more about democracy and understand just what true Patriot-ismiis. True Patriot-ism for us, the youth of today, must be first conceived as a service of leadership. We must under- stand that we are to be leaders of the world of tomorrow. The future prosperity of this country depends upon our ability as states- men and simple citizens. We must learn that true patriots do not take advantage of their privileges of free speech and the right to live their lives unhampercd by restrictions and traditions. To be true patriots, the wel- fare of our neighbors, far and near, must be also vital to us. Our lives must follow the standards set by those earlier patriots, and before that, we must believe in and follow the Christian way of living and thinking. We must know that true Patriot-ism is not selfish or sectional, and that national success depends upon the recognition of one's duties as an individual. This will bring our nation to a higher re- sponsibility. Then, with an even greater pride than we feel today, we may say, A' We are Americans. We are patriots. Our way is the way of Patriot-ism.

The time is now 1944, the place, the community center, the situation, the first reunion of the Class of '42 where the first bride and groom of that class are arriving from a honeymoon in South America. - Exit - ENTER-KENNETH AND MARY. K. and M.- Hello, everybody. 34 THE LAUREL K.-- Hello, George. Hi, Iohnny. Hi, Renaud. G. Whitcher-What cha got in the trunk? K.-Oh, we brought a few things that we thought might remind you of the good old days at F. H. S., but we'll just put them aside now and give them out later. CLASS - AW - NO - HECK! M.-From the looks I think we'd better pass them out now. CLASS - SURE -- COURSE - GOOD! M.--Who'll we start with? CLASS - ME - ME - ME - etc. K. -Gee, I guess I need someone to help me take charge - speaking of taking charge, do you recall how some of our talented mem- bers directed traffic? M. - Yes, it seems to me that Bob Starbird was a good oH'icer. How'd it go, Bob? B. Starbird fin good voicej-Single line there, you guys! Keep to the right! K.-You have a fine voice, Bob. Here's Xa whistle so you won't ever wear it out. M.-Say, where's Cleo Myshrall flocking aroundj? Oh, there you are. I could hardly see you. I think we had better give you these stilts so you can be up with the rest of us. K.-Say, Nichols, you're taller than you used to be. But you'd better have these high-heeled shoes just the same. M.--Have you seen Rose Ella Collins? K.-Yes, but she was behind as usual. This catsup's what she needs. K.-Boy, you should have seen those South American senoritas do the Rumba! M.-Oh, yes! Martha Callahan was a first class jitterbug. We brought this danc- ing girl for you, Martha. K.--Hi, Fred. F. Simpson-Hi. M.- Well Fred, sleeping again I see. We remembered how you used to sleep away the time in high school, so we brought along this pillow for you. K. - Sylvia Walker never wasted any time sleeping. She was always studying. This little bundle of books and pencils is just the thing for her. M.-Say, Kenneth, don't you like to look into Phyllis Parker's coal black eyes? Most boys do! This piece of coal just matches her eyes. K.-I wonder if Phyllis's old chum, Naomi Farmer, is still hearing from that sailor, Leigh Orcutt. To remember him by we'll give her this anchor. M.-I see Renaud Cyr still has that pink and white school boy complexion. He'll surely appreciate this Bon Ami to keep it that way. K.-Don Collins, you certainly are get- ting restless. You used to get a kick out of telling corny jokes. We'll give you this box of Corn Kix. M.-What's this anyway? Oh, yes. It must be a tardy slip. I wonder how it got in here. Probably you picked it up when you were visiting the high school this morning. Winona Ramsdell would be lost without one of these. K.-Connie Connors, are you still chang- ing your boy friends as often as you did in high school. If you still are, this glue might help you to stick to one. M.--Edwin Kelley certainly has an Irish name. Any Irishman would be pleased with this green basket. K. -Our class was very sociable. Do you remember our outstanding socialite, Carroll Vining. We'll give him this light to keep aglow that sociable spirit. M. -I-Iere's a cute little bird we brought. Oh, this is just the thing for Gladys Knowles, to remind her of her Star-bird. K.-Blanche Tibbetts, how are you and your constant admirer getting along? Per- haps this rolling pin will be of use to you. fAsidej f I only hope she uses it for cook- ing.j M.-Oh, Iris, is Rumford Baking pow- der still your favorite brand? M.-And Elaine, of course you use Worcester salt. K. - Say, Mary, do you remember what a brilliant student Lois Cohoon was? Wasn't it this brilliantine that made you think of her? THE LAUREL 35 M. - Yes, and Irene Goodspeed was a top- notcher too. K.-I'll say she was. She was smart as a whip. We brought her this South Amer- ican whip. M.- Kenneth, don't you think Iean Met- calf looks rather lonely? This soldier boy would have cheered her up, back in '42. K.-Edith Edwards is not likely to have forgotten her steady Bob McCleery because he lived quite near. I think he won a lot of prizes for his baby beef, so probably this pic- ture of lst class Argentine beef will please her. M.-I heard Cecil Sawtelle humming as we came in. Not quite so smooth as the Wells Pontiac you used to drive though, eh, Cecil. K. - I-Iere's some of that famous Brazilian gum. Why wouldn't that be a good gift for Mavis McLay? She was the champion gum- chewer in our class. Weren't you, Mavis? M.-I just remembered I brought this apron especially for Emily Moody, because she was so interested in Home Economics. K.-I bet she didn't have anything on Maynard Phillips. You know he was quite a cook. This frying pan is what he needs. M.-Celia and Annette, I expect y0u're still inseparable. We brought these hand- cuffs for you. You might as well have the key, Annette, and Celia the handcuffs. K. -I wonder if their best friend, Arlene Tracy, still longs for Sweetpea Cole's com- pany. Well, we'll give you this brand of talcum anyway, Arlene. M.-Hey, Benny. What does this re- mind you of? K.-This nest egg reminds us of your thrift, but it may remind you of your first job on the road to success. K.-What's the class president doing now? N. Foss-Selling tractors probably. K.-I-Ie used to demonstrate his father's Farmall tractors. Best tractor made, aren't they, Earl? Here's the latest model. M.--You know, Kenneth, I sometimes wonder that Iohnnie Carman hasn't become a printer after all his work on the Barker. Anyway we thought you'd like this memento to remind you of your busy, busy hours out- side the study hall, lohnnie. K.-Well, I must say this is a rather dangerous place for matches. We'd better give these to lean Bursey. She was a fine match for anyone. M.-Iune Estes is still thinking. She always was a puzzle. This jig-saw puzzle seems quite the thing for her. K.-Who's that back there doing all the talking? Oh, of course, Norman Foss throwing the bull to someone. Ferdinand the bull is the mascot for you. M.-Carlton, are you still spending your time with the Robbins? Here is a souvenir for you. K.-Where on earth did you get this bright pocket handkerchief? Who'd want it anyway? M.-Harold Farmer always had a Hare for colors and new styles. I bet held have an eye for it. K. - We haven't heard a word from Mary Nile. She always was quiet as a mouse. This mouse Fits her to a T. M. - Yes, and we never knew when Doris Taylor was around either. She was quiet too. She needs this horn. Blow your horn a little louder, Doris. K.-I'll bet Robert Richards is glad to have his afternoons free now. I can remem- ber when he had eighth period indefinitely. This rubber band with its indefinite stretch should recall former days. K.-I-Iere's just the thing for George Whitcher-a brake. This should help him to remember to keep his mind on the brake instead of the clutch. M.-Why there's one of the orchestra pianists-Martha Millett. You had a hard time playing loud enough to suit Miss Per- kins, didn't you, Martha? Force is what you needed. K.-I wonder if Harold Iudkins is still wrestling grain. We thought you might be. fPasses grain-bag to himj M.-Ruth Ada Lewin is very patiently waiting for her present. She did wonders 36 THE LAUREL for the part of Peaches in the senior play. Oh, well, she's a peach anyway. K.-It seems good to see Eddie Robinson again. He was a good old soul. Maybe these will help him stay that way. M.--Evidently Ianette Iackson hasn't started her training for a hairdresser yet. I'll let her have this comb to help her on the way. K.--Well, Orrison, I suppose you have applied your business course to scientific farming by this time. Here's a little daily account book. K.--You know, Mary Thea Sinskie hasn't changed a bit since she left high school. She is still as gentle as a lamb. This lamb is just like the one we saw in Peru. M.-I suppose Eleanor Streeter has changed because she was always so change- able in high school. I'll give her this almanac with all the changes of the weather in it. K.--This little tool set makes me think of Colby Chandler when he used to work afternoons at Morton's. Don't you want this for a little remembrance, Colby? M.-I brought this Old Dutch cleaner for Herbert Wave. He always had such white teeth. He can use this to keep them that way. K.-You know I was surprised to see Russell Robbins here today. I thought sure he'd be off fishing with his father. We'll give him this fishing Hy to use when he does go. M.-Hey, Ioan, what have you been do- ing lately for amusement? I. Greenwood-I've been horse-back rid- ing quite a lot. M.-Oh, yes, you always did like to go horse-back riding, didn't you? I wonder if you couldn't use this horse blanket pin to help you stay on. K.-As I look at you, Harland, I recall your black-face roles in the high school dra- matics. This shoe-blacking might come in useful. M.-You know the old saying, Shirley- Sweets to the sweet. K.-What's this stuff here? CPulls out ruching.j M.-Oh, that's some organdy ruching I bought. That looks just dainty enough to give to Ieanette Gould. fKenneth clips nails.j M.-Where are your mariners? I wish you had manners like Donald Lunny. We'll give him this nail polish to keep them in trim. K. -Our old friend Robert Luger, I hear, still has his deep, gruif voice. We'll give him these soothing cough drops. M. fstraightening Kfs tiej -You look so untidy. I wish you were as neat as Inez Goings. She's neat as a pin. You can use this paper of pins, can't you, Inez? K.-I guess we all agree that S. Iackson was a whole-hearted friend. He must have a heart of gold. Here's a gold charm, Stan- ton, for you. M.-Did you know we haven't given Betty McCoy anything yet? She was a sec- ond Fanny Farmer while in high school and probably she'd like this cook book. K.-Maybe Iohnnie would too. K.--Who'd want this bell? M.-If Mabel Weymouth is still mow- ing everyone down in her stride as she did in high school, this will keep other people safe from being run over. K.-I sometimes wonder how Lillian Weymouth kept up with her, with her short mincing steps. She must have to lengthen her stride. We brought this gate as a reminder. M.-Well, the only two left now are Iohnnie and Bob. Hagerstrom and Wells Company. Come here, boys. We hope these ties are never broken. K.--Well, kids, I hope you're all satis- fied with these remembrances. I guess we'll have to be going now. We've had a fine time. Hope to see you in a couple of years. M. and K.-G'Bye-S'Long. M. Hoyt '42, K. Hunt '42.

The freshman class has been well repre- sented in the field of sports this year. The class was especially proud to think that two of its boys were chosen as members of the first ten men in basketball because of their skill and ability at that game. The class has also been unusually well rep- resented in the musical activities, an unusu- ally large number participating in all musical organizations. The class is very fortunate in being able to say that few serious illnesses have been reported. TY SOFHOMORE CLASS NOTES HE class of '44 began its sophomore year with a total enrollment of 66 pupils.

This spring we notice a sudden drop in participation in spring sports because of the fact that there are so many opportunities for high school boys to be working. The meets are scheduled as follows: May 9 Triangular Meet at Farmington May I6 Franklin County Meet at Wilton June 6 State Meet at Portland Because the community building was unlin- ished, classes were held outdoors during the fall when the weather permitted. During the winter session, classes were postponed until February, when they were held in the new gym. The girls have learned coordination of mind and body, and copera- 'tfon among themselves in dancing, marching, and playing. Under the new program, intra-mural games were played instead of intra-scholastic. The First intra-mural game to be played was deck tennis. Next, the girls enjoyed basket- ball and volley ball. A tournament was held after each series of practices. In May, there was another deck tennis tournamentq then the girls finished their school year with soft- ball. With these sports the girls also went out for skiing, skating, bicycling and horse- I'I'III,IL' SI'Ii.fXIiINlQ. UXIC-IXVI' I'I,.'XYS .XXII IJIiIK,X'I'INIi I:II'!-I rim. Iuft In right: lf ,XIlIl'S.

These sports also enabled the girls to gain points toward a school emblem or letter, given to those who earned them, by the Girls Athletic Association, formed for the purpose. At the end of the year Mrs. Iosslyn spon- sored a play day. in which each class did some particular thing to demonstrate what they were doing in Physical Education Classes. The girls led oil' with a grand march, after which each class gave its dem- onstration. Freshmen, two dances- Pop Cioes the VVeasel and Ciardas 1 Sopho- mores, military marching: Iuniors and Sen- iors, a novelty tap dance. After the demonstration, groups of eight from each class played a game of deck tennis and volley lall. Group games were also demonstrated by groups from each class. Metcalf, R. l.:nnbei't, li.

Ausiin THE LAUREL 49 DRAMATICS THEN as Christmas rolled around so did the senior play. The play chosen for this year's class was Girl Shy which was a success, thanks to the patience and guidance of Mrs. Mills. The cast was Eleanor Streeter, Harold Farmer, Ruthada Lewin, Maynard Phillips, Irene Goodspeed, George Whitcher, Ioan Greenwood, Norman Foss, Elaine Barton, Carlton Walker, Colby Chandler, and Mary Hoyt. The proceeds from this play set a financial record. Many thanks must be extended to the various com- mittees for their splendid cooperation. Later in the year three one-act plays were presented. A Minuet, a poetic drama, was presented by three seniors-Ruthada Lewin, Harold Farmer, and Norman Foss. This play was first presented at Madison competing in the state-wide One-Act Play Contest. Later it was presented here at Farmington along with two other one-act plays. Death Comes to My Friends, a tragedy, with the following cast: Carlene Ames, Maynard Phillips, Ioanne Watson, Blanche Tibbetts, Russell Robbins, and Car- roll McGary. The freshmen and sophomores also presented the play Elmer, which was a light comedy, that brought out a great deal of future talents. The cast consisted of A. Dewey Richards, Beatrice Enman, lean Rob- inson, Mary Pinkham, Iennie Mae Stevens, Iune Taylor, Eunice Simpson, Iames Whit- comb, and Earl Atwood. wr-r DEBATING DEBATINKI was also participated in by five students. The proposition was one of inter- est and importance- Resolved: That as a permanent policy every able-bodied male citizen in the United States should be re- quired to have one full year of military train- ing before attaining the present draft agef' The negative team was Naomi Farmer and Irene Goodspeed, while Edith L. Edwards and Carlton Walker upheld the affirmative side. Margaret Preble helped with the gath- ering of material a'nd debated in the trial debates. The negative side lost to Wilton, but the affirmative side won over Phillips and Edith L. Edwards was chosen best speaker. It is hoped that debating will grow in the future and become one of F. H. S.' major activities. E. L. E. '42. YQ X 5 50 TIIE LAU R If L .9 . .I -5 ,P A ef mai? N--' Q ex! l ifq CLASS OF 1941 Berry, Benjamin--U. S. Marines, Parris Island, S. C. Butler, Helen-At home.
