From them, our class, her higher knowledge found, Solemnly passes through the schoolhouse doors. Our high school days are o 'er, our country's call, Rings, loud and clear, Oh, come and give your all. So our hopes and visions, cherished tenderly, Wait, till nobler missions can completed be. Then, our faith kept steady, Courage born anew Will Find us all more ready For dreams come true- Our dreams will still come true.

The following were selected to serve: Doris Stanley, Gloria Jalbert, Avis Carter, Frederick Rollins and Robert Lewin. We feel that the committee did exceptionally well in selecting the class rings and that they are the prettiest ones for a number of years. The junior Class has had an unusually lat ge representation in the extra-cur- ricular activities, namely: Orchestra 10, Boys' Glee Club 4, Girls' Glee Club 14, Chorus 31, Boys' Basketball 5, Girls' Bas- ketball il, Softball 9, Field Hockey 9, Pub- lic Speaking 3, Football 7, Art 8, Ski team 2, Barker SJ and Laurel Board 6. Both the boys and girls won the intramural basketball championships. The Junior Class is also represented in the armed forces with Albert Fraser in the Marines and Merton Petrie in the Navy. The Class of '44 has been unfortunate in having two quite serious accidents 5 Nelson Paradis suffered a skull fracture and Frederick Kenney a broken leg.

FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES HE Class of 1946 entered high school with a bang on the morn- ing of September 21, with a total enroll- ment of T-1 students as follows: 26 regis- tered in the Commercial Course, 33 in the General Course, 11 in the College Course and 4 in the Home Economics Course. The total registration has been reduced to 54. Only three out of the twenty that left were transferred to other schools, namely, Marilyn Morgan, Amesbury Highg Ernest Moody, North Anson Academyg and Jere Hughes, Clearwater High, Florida. Ruth Gile has transferred here from Phillips. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President Iere Hughes Vive President , Errol Gray Secretary Rachel Luce Trearurer Glennis York In February of this year Jere Hughes left our school to attend Clearwater High in Florida. The day he left a class meet- 19 A ir LAUREL ir ing was held and John Newcomb became our new class president. At a still later meeting Richard Roy was elected col- lector of school dues to take Jere's place and Joline VVilson was voted class editor for the Laurel. The Class of 1946 was fully initiated into Farmington High School at the Freshman Reception. Each pupil was re- quired to wear a costume. The girls wore their hair in tiny pig-tails all over their heads, their dresses wrong side out, back in front. black stockings and odd shoes. The boys wore shorts over long underwear. shirts buttoned in the back. Much fun and laughter were provided for the dignified upper classmen by the antics of the children. Quite a number of the pupils partici- pate in extra-curricular activities. Sev- eral went out for football but only 1 played the full season. Five went out for Boys' Basketball, 6 Girls' Basketball, '7 Orchestra, 'T Boys' Glee Club, 9 Girls' Glee Club. and 31 Chorus. The Freshman Class has chosen as their class colors, forest green and gold. The class Hower is an orchid and the motto is Impossible is UnAmerican. What We Freshmen Have Learned To get on about every eighth period. make a lot of work for the janitor by To never taking off our rubbers. To scatter paper and break a desk or two. To always take the wrong book to class. chew gum and eat candy every chance To we get. To hold up a line by getting the latest gossip from some one in another line. To stall the teacher as much as possible by bringing up another subject. To loosen bolts on the desk and change the drawers around. To whizz paper gliders past a classmate's head. To pass notes with comical drawings and clever jokes. To make all the noise we can until Mrs. Iohnson walks into the main room. To carve fresh initials in each new desk. VV'ouldn't It Be Queer If Arno Hill looked at a girl. If Ioyce Streeter kept her shoes on in Algebra class. If Richard Roy would leave the School alone. If Priscilla Frary didn't have that cute little nose of hers. If Earl Goodspeed would stop saying, How's that! A If Madelyn Luce didn't receive her weekly letter from Kingfield. If Alan Keith should happen to forget his little popgun some morning. If Madeline Williams stopped flirting with Vernon Keene. If Robert Masterman should forget to Hourish his glasses. If Glennis York came home from a skating party with the same boy she went with. If Durwood Stevens should prepare a lesson a day before a class. If Dick Hodgkins stopped telling jolly jokes to the teacher. If Everett Newell and Walter Nies grew two or three inches. If Ioline Wilson should forget to say, I thought I'd die! If Marilyn Benson took as much interest in her lessons as in jitterbugging. If Millard Parlin wasn't always getting as- signments from Priscilla Frary.

QEditorialj ELLOW Seniors, today we are students in one of the 25,000 free high schools in the United States. Tomorrow we shall become a part of the 131,000,000 people of the world's largest democracy, a democracy which, at the present time, is striving for its very existence in a world-wide conflict. As we walk out of the doors of Farmington High School, into the world, we shall be faced by a major problem: we must prepare for a future which is practically indefinite. Therefore, all tom-foolery H should be put aside and seriousness of purpose take its place. In the plans for peace already in progress are plans for the future occupations and arts. The age of unspecialized labor will be over and special- ization will take its place. This demand for specialists will be most successfully met by those who have studied and have diligently kept an eye on the higher goals of success. All of us will agree that we, too, hope to hold one of these jobs. In order to do this efliciently, we must first make the necessary preparations and not let our thoughts give way to hopes and wishful thinking. The value of study in preparing for the future has long been known. It has many advantages and comparatively few drawbacks. Study helps to develop the mind and hence to increase one's ability to do logical reasoning. It enables one to express himself clearly and effectively. It aids in developing good habits. It improves the vocabulary. It gives one training in con- centration on the task at hand and assists him in being able to absorb what he reads. Then, too, it helps in the development of character, a trait which never fails to win respect in the business and social world. Furthermore, it pre- pares one for future study in that knowledge is the one thing that the strife of man can not take away. And finally, in our consciousness, at least, we know that achievement through study and hard work is one of the best ways in which we can repay our parents for the sacrifices they have made so that we may obtain our education and take our places in the world as intelligent, fair-minded citizens. . 22 Writing So, with this in mind, until we meet again, vaya con dios CSpanish-May God go with youj, and, la meilleure chance a tous QFrench -The very best of luck to you allj.

APPRECIATIVE REVIEWS Abraham Lincoln: The War Years by Carl Sandburg fBiographyj For my first book, I chose Abraham Lin- coln: the War Years by Carl Sandburg, a well-known poet and writer. This is the biography of our Civil War President during his term of office, that is 1861-1865. It is corn- posed of four volumes, the one I used was Volume III 118671 The author tells of the corrupt policies and petty jealousy practiced by Congressmen, cabi- net members, and even military men, and then shows what a difficult task Lincoln must have had to conciliate these factions. I think Carl Sandburg has impressed upon his readers what an enormous burden one of our greatest of presidents had thrust upon his shoulders, and how a man with less patience, less tact might have destroyed our ideal of government during these trying times. The author has also inserted touches of Lincoln's private life, if a president may have such a thing. In one chapter the author reveals the president's sorrow at the death of one young son. It is an accepted fact that his home life was DOI pleasant. Three of his four sons never lived to maturity, and his wife was not mentally well. The author has used very minute detailg for instance, he gives the number of yeas and nays on the question 'f Should we eliminate the S300 clause in draft law? and the names of the senators who voted for or against the bill and those who did not vote. Mr. Sandburg often quotes from the Harpers Weekly and the New York Times , besides the Congressional Record . Some of the other papers which he quotes or refers to are the Bureau Country Patriot of Illinois, Leslie's Weeklyf' and Washington Chron- ic1c,'. These, together with the many illustra- tions, portraits, cartoons, and reproduced letters, give us an excellent view of the public opinion of that period. They also reveal the endless research Carl Sandburg must have spent on the biography. The author has presented his material in a sympathetic, informal style which, together with Lincoln's humor, make very interesting reading. Here is an example of the author's straight- forward manner and a little of Lincoln's philos- ophy. Once the president dropped a few kind words about the enemy. They were human beings. One could not be completely remorseless, even in war. The line must be drawn somewhere. His remarks to this effect were overheard by an elderly woman in the reception room. She flashed forth a question of how could he speak kindly of his enemies when he should rather destroy them. What, Madam? he said slowly as he gazed into her face. Do I destroy them when I make them my friends? I' This type of anecdote gained circulation in both England and America, giv- ing tone to his policies toward reconciliation. Lincoln often used an anecdote to illustrate a point or an argument. This one he used to answer the question of whether Kentucky was loyal or disloyal to the Union. In a small town there was a high-combed cock which was sup- posed to be the best fighter in the country. One day a stranger came to town, claiming that his low-combed cock was a better fighter. There lived in this town a squire who could always pick the winner before the game, therefore all the gamblers kept their eye on him.

Sandburg sympathetically describes Lincoln's ability to use homely illustrations by the fol- lowing: To illustrate a shifting political policy, he said a father instructed his son to steer toward a pair of oxen in order to plow a straight fur- row, The oxen began to move, and the boy ended with a circle instead of a straight line. Once after one of the numerous setbacks suf- fered by the Union forces, Lincoln, with almost a feeling of despair asked one of the men to recite that famous passage from Macbeth which begins: Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrowf, What a difference between these two characters, but did they have a kindred feeling in those moments of their lives? This book was very easy reading, I would like to recommend it especially to those who predict the downfall of our government in these trying times today. Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight by Vachel Lindsay fPoetryb This is a poem written during the World War I using Abraham Lincoln as the spirit of liberty and freedom from slavery so dear to every American. This poem is composed of eight stanzas. The stanza form is the quatrain, the rhyme a b a b and the meter iambic pentameter. The author based his writings on the facts that Lincoln loved the common people, for he was one himself, that he hated tyranny, both of the slave-holder and the war-lord, that he was of poor birth and his sympathies with the poor peasants of Europe, and that Lincoln as a man could not bear to watch either man or beast suffer. This poem was written in a dignified style as may be seen from the first line: It is por- tentous, and a thing of state . The tone, I think, is sorrowful, almost solemn. Abraham Lincoln cannot sleep because It breaks his heart that kings must murder still, A 24 That all his hours of travail here for men Seem yet in vainf' In this poem Lincoln is pictured as a sorrow- ful man, there is none of the humour found in most Lincolniana. Nevertheless there is a very good description of Lincoln: A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black, A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl Make him the quaint great figure that men love, The prairie-lawyer, master of us all. Perhaps these lines show a desire of the author for a better world, or at least a more peaceful one: A league of sober folk, the Worker's Earth, Bringing long peace to Cornland, Alp and Sea. I think that this poem is, with the exception of Markham's, the greatest written about Lincoln. A Man for the Ages by Irving Bacheller fNovelD This is the story of Abraham Lincoln's young manhood as told by Iosiah Thaylor who, as a young boy, knew Lincoln when he lived in New Salem and then in Springfield. The story begins with the trip west ffrom Vermontj of Samson Thaylor, his wife Sarah, and their two children, loc and Betsy. The author tells how they happened to settle in New Salem and the many exciting things which occurred in what was then a frontier town, New Salem, Ill. From here on the story centers around Abraham Lincoln. By means of the diaries and letters of Samson Thaylor and his son, and Iosiah's memory, Mr. Bacheller has presented a very clear picture of Lincoln as a young man. Some of the out- standing facts are Lincoln's struggle to rise from a poor lawyer, clerk, postmaster and sur- veyor, of the unfortunate death of his sweet- heart, Ann Rutledge, of his association with Douglasg of his strange courtship of Mary Todd. This book contains nothing of the War between the States or the life of Mr. Lincoln while president. From these facts Mr. Bacheller has woven a very interesting novel, much more moving because it is based on fact and on one of the greatest men of our history. This book is written in informal style. The author has used the simple facts. Here is Lincoln's interpretation of Clothes speak for 'k LAUREL 'lr the man . Lincoln needed a new suit to go to legislature. He decided upon blue jeans, as this was the only thing that would fit his pockethook. Eli Frendberg, the Iewish merch- ant, remarked that clothes speak. He ought to buy something stylish that would make a speech for him. Abe agreed provided Eli let him recite the speech. This is it: I would like my clothes to say in a low tone of voice: 'This is humble Abraham Lincoln about the same length and breadth that I am. He don't want to scare or astonish anybody. He don't want to look like a beggar or a mil- lionaire. just put him down for a hard work- ing man of good intention, who is badly in debt '. He got the blue jeans. I do not know whether the dialect of the Iew is authentic or not, but it is unique in sentence order and spelling. De odders hate me becas de butcher haf mein fadder bein and Nobody likes me not. The author wrote this epigram which might be applied to all high school students too. Women are like children in their love of humour. Here is a part of the authoris philosophy of life, a comparison which seems very true. Did you ever ride a horse sitting backwards -when you are going one way and looking another and you don't know what's coming? Isn't that the way we travel in this world? We cannot tell what is ahead. We see only what is behindf, The author used a little of prophecy in one instance. When Lincoln left Springfield as President-elect, he said, The years of prepara- tion are ended and those of sacrifice begunf, of pathos is out- of Ann Rutledge, in a letter. Finally, the author's use standing. After the death Samson Thaylor wrote this I saw Abe when he came out of the tavern that day. He was not the Abe we had known. He was difierent. There were new lines in his face. It was sorrowful. His steps were slower. He passed out --out of his young man- hood. When I spoke to him, he answered with that dignity now so familiar to all who knew him. From that hour he was Abraham Lincoln. And again the pathos of the assasination is unforgetable. At the end after Lincoln had been taken from the Ford Theatre, Iosiah Thaylor was at his bedside. The doctor put his ear against Lincoln's breast and said, He is gonef, Whereupon Secretary Stanton came to the side of the bed and pronounced those memorable words, Now, he belongs to the agesf' Eunice Hammond '43.

She's got ears like a rabbit's. Well, I got a bark like a fog-horn. That's what the cross old guy across the street yelled over the phone to Master Iohn when I was out hav- ing a good time night before last. Guess I'll have to confine myself to meditation and prayer. That's it, meditation and prayer. H'm, probably Iill have to meditate for a long time tomorrow when I'm lenshed to the kitchen stove leg after Mrs. Iohn finds out about that slipper I chewed up. I 'spect I'd better pray now. Dear Master of all dogs: I thank thee for a nice master and mistress and two little boys to play with, even if they do drive me nearly nuts at times I'm thankful that I can sleep in the big chair instead of in a sissy basket with a blue Hannelette blanket prinked up with bows the way that stuck up lady pup next door does. I'm thankful I haven't got a little girl to give me baths and douse me with her Mum's cologne so Iill smell like a walking flower gar- den. I oughta be thankful that I'm getting such kind, firm, patient training that'll make me grow up into a nice dog--but I ain't. Mistress says I'll grow in wisdom as I grow in years just as men do, but I'm not so sure about that. 'A' LAUREL 'lr All men don't grow in wisdom as they grow in years, do they?

I-Ie got the bone but we ain't settled anything yet. Now that dog and I will be mortal enemies from this day forward, and everything started from that insignificant little bone. Isn't that sensible? I shouldnit wonder if dogs and men were more like each other than either of 'em realize. Well, maybe if I eat Red Heart Dog food, and get plenty of sleep, they'll let me join the Army when I grow up.

Pinkham '43, Assignment: Original myth I . APOLLO AND ARBUTISIA SMALL beautiful nymph named Arbu- tisia lived in the heart of a large forest and seldom wandered away from her home. Hunting had made her lithe and softly tanned by the sun's bright rays that glimmered down from Apollo's chariot through the thick foliage. One day, however, Arbutisia ventured from her wooded retreat into the open. Apollo had already begun his day's work and as the nymph raised her deep blue eyes, the shade of every wooded poolls depths, she was stunned by the beauty of the Sun God. All day she watched Apollo and when Diana started her journey across the heavens, Arbutisia set out in search of Apollo. Finally she came to his palace. Her lithe form entered unbidden into the dazzling brightness of his palace, so she kept close to the ground, concealing herself under low-growing bushes and fallen leaves. For a week she watched Apollo come and go, never disclosing her presence. One day as Apollo came back from his work, Arbutisia made herself known. She was very small beside his strong body and her warm skin turned to the pinkish hue of bashfulness. But Apollo was weary at the moment so he cast Arbutisia aside. Undismayed she trailed him all night and just before morning, he wratlifully turned on her, For the rest of your life, you shall trail along as you have been doing, hiding under low bushes and leaves, he declared. Then the god's wrath melted, but unable to undo his moment of anger, he kindly added, But people will search for you and you shall retain your beauty each year when the snow melts and the trees bloom. Arbutisia smiled and then she began to shrink. Her arms and legs grew tiny and brown, leaves began to sprout, and from each hair in her head, clusters of flowers bloomed the same shade of her pink skin. So every year Arbutisia, whom we know as Arbutus, is found under the brown leaves in the month of May. I. Stewart 544. 'A myth is an account of the deeds of a god or super- natural being.

Getting six children ready for church was no small job. By the time one was ready, the other five had disap- peared. Long after the final bells had tolled we piled into the car. Ma, pushing back wisps of hair from her Hushed face, sternly warned us to keep still and sit still in church. Being thus late, we always had to march down the aisle during the opening hymn to I-ind a vacant pew. Ma would try to maneuver us into the pew so that she and dad could sit between the most likely trouble makers, but we usually succeeded in evading her and grimly she took her place on the end. For the first fifteen minutes our pew was comparatively quiet. Then someone always produced a pencil and paper. A look of de- feat would strike mother as she saw it, but all her head-shaking was in vain. Many notes 'k LAUREL if A were passed along the pew, accompanied by stifled giggles. As soon as the pew began to vibrate, ma would give the'nearest of us a poke with her elbow. This was always a mistake. For the pokes Hew down the length of the pew, each with renewed vigor and more outbursts of snickering. Nearing the end of the sermon my father's head would begin to nod. Ma's elbow would then go to work again, this time on dad. This always brought forth spasms of coughing from him and uncontrolled laughter from us. The choir would then focus cold stares upon us. fl have always felt that they took the wrong attitude since we supported them most vigor- ously in the hymn singingj At last the final hymn was sung and we stood stiff as pokers while the benediction was given. Perhaps at this point the reader may ask, Why, pray tell, did your mother ever take you? ,I That is a hard question to answer. Maybe she thought through constant church attendance we would, of necessity, absorb some religious education. Or maybe she thought we could cause less trouble in church with her than at home alone.

FOURTH OF IULY THE WRIGHT WAY NE of the few holidays all our family celebrates together is Fourth of Iuly. Although we celebrate birthdays, Thanksgiv- ings, and Christmases we all look forward to the glorious Fourth. During the first of Iune my brother and I prepare our order for fireworks. Last year I had thirteen firecrackers saved from the year before, which I was going to set off, but when I lit a match to all of them, none of them went bang . The week before is usually a busy week for every one. The fireworks have to be examined, although one of our rules is that no firecrackers may be set off before the Fourth. This rule has been kept since I was large enough to light a match. There is at least one trip to Farmington to get the needed supplies. We have, as a rule, two big pickles, watermelons to most people. These have been so called since I was about four years old. Once when my father came out of a store with a watermelon under his arm, I was sitting in the back seat of our car taking in all of the surroundings as it was a rare occasion to go to Farmington. When I saw him, I shouted and said, Oh, Daddy! What a big pickle! Another custom is ordering a crate of bananas, which last about three days if they are not well hidden. My brother has been known to sit down and eat twenty-one of them in a row. He now muses on the good old days. The night before the Fourth we close our house and go to camp for the first time in the year to stay over night. Louis and I used to stay up to our grandmother's and herald the Fourth in with appropriate doings, but since he has become twitterpatted and his Utwitterpatteri' spends the Fourth with us, he now celebrates a little differently. morning we have a breakfast. Then we Upon waking in the dip in the pond before play horseshoes, set off a few firecrackers, if we are lucky enough to have any, go for a boat ride or do almost anything to pass away the time till dinner. For dinner we have chicken with all the fixings, for dessert we have pie, ice cream and cake and last of all one of the big pickles . After the aspirins and sodamints have been passed around, we all run for a place to lie down. However, a couple of hours later we are up and at it again. Our friends have arrived by now, as well as our grandparents. My father and grandfather go to look at some lumber, and the younger generation as well as a few enjoying their second ,childhood prepare to take their annual trip around the pond. The cameras, which are always snapped at the wrong time, are dropped and we go racing off leaving our grandparents and a few laggers to keep camp. In an hour or two we come streaming back and don our bathing suits and take our big swim for the day. We then Finish taking pictures and also what is left of the five pounds of candy and forty pounds of bananas. During 'A' LAUREL 'A' this time the company leaves and we prepare for supper if we are able. After supper we move out on the porch and watch the moon on the water while we enjoy telling jokes and stories. lust before we go to bed a swim is in order. We come in and as my father says, climb the winding stairs. The Htwitterpated come stringing up later at the the end of a perfect day. To others this may not mean much, but to me it means everything. It proves to me that we are fighting for something we cannot enjoy unless we have Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness . Law. Wright '44.

Assignment: Original fable, THE PEN AND THE PENCIL PHE scrubby old pen was fast nearing the scrap pile. As he lay on the table a bright young pencil was placed beside him on a writing tablet. Now the two clans of Pens and the Pencils are bitter rivals, so you see why the pencil re- joiced to have a chance to whack the poor old pen. But this time he had little sympathy and only wagged his tongue at the old pen for he was very conceited. The pencil liked to brag to people of his highly varnished finish and the soft lead that would write so easily. You're the laziest pen I have ever seen, he taunted. No answer. The pencil spoke again, Look at you! You could use a new point. You have a broken cap. The ink leaks. Still there was no answer from the pen. This made the pencil really angry. Why, he flared, you aren't even good enough for the Scrap Drive! ', The pen looked up slowly and spoke in his quietest manner. Be calm, friend pencil. You'll be in the same condition soon. At this remark the pencil laughed. He laughed for quite some time over what the pen had said. The weeks passed on. The old scrubby pen was donated to the Scrap Drive, while the pen- cil, worked to a last desperate point, was merely tossed into the waste basket. MORAL: He laughs best who laughs last. I. Waugh '43.

It is true that it had all the characteristics of a haunted house, because about sixty years ago a rich man and his wife had come to this small hamlet to settle down. Forteleven years they had lived on the estate in a very secluded man- ner. The posmaster can remember of never having a piece of mail for the couple. To com- plete the supposition, they had never been seen in town, but they always seemed to have enough to eat and had quite a few luxuries. Then one morning they left for God-knows- where. Only a few people saw them leave, those that did eyed them with suspicion and spoke no word of farewell. The house has remained just as they left it- curtains up, windows unlocked, and most of the small surrounding buildings open to the trespasser. Over everything lies an ever-in- creasing layer of dust, which adds to the dreary aspect of the place. Mr. Ienkins, the nearest neighbor, once made a tour of the grounds, and found in a secluded corner, a small elaborate graveyard. After he had told several of his friends of his discovery, he grew curious. So he, with sev- eral other men, returned to the graveyard and started to dig in the musty earth. At an un- usual depth they came upon several large logs, which seemingly had been buried there for no reason at all. After disposing of these and digging deeper, they finally came to what ap- peared to be a roof. The wood was very rotten, which made it quite easy to hack through. The spectacle which was revealed to them was one of utter surprise-below them was an extravagantly furnished room. It had but one entrance which was a tunnel about five feet in diameter. ln the center of this room, on a small platform, were two mummy-like bodies of what must have been much-loved sons-each in the condition as he was when he died.

Londoners learn quickly and our night school began right on the dot at eight-thirty every night. First, the deathly bombs would scream down to earth. Then, the really heavy explosions, which meant death and suffering to many innocent men, women and children. This one was heavy to- night. It came with a hard, grating roar fol- lowed by a moment of silence. Someone asked for a light, even a match would do, but the flicker of a match would be a target for enemy bombers, which were flying low. In the partly ruined shelter, children were lying suffering. Suddenly l heard the voice of a man, in his early fifties, which sounded calm in the silence. He tried to comfort us. As he moved from one to the other, stumbling but calm, to ease our pains and thoughts, I wondered if he were used to this. We wanted to see him, but it was so dark we couldn't see even a white object. At last the enemy had done enough damage in London for one night, but they would be back. With our hearts in our mouths, we hoped it was over. Finally, the all-clear signal rang shrilly through the smoky air. I As I lit a match, I looked at the stranger in the dust.

STREAMLINING FIRST CLASS T1-ns beauty of a streamline plane is brought out distinctly in the P-39, better known as the Bell Airacobrasf' The propeller is full feathering and is neatly designed for the most advantageous ways of fighting and cruising. The propeller hub is in reality the nose of this sleek ship. The cockpit is streamlined into the fuselage so that very little is protruding other than is needed for flying. The air scoop is directly behind but not above the cockpit, this also helps to eliminate some drag caused by that important item. The engine, which on most planes is in front, is behind the cockpit to make the nose as streamline as possible. The wings are of conventional design with a slight dihedral and tapering at the ends to cut down wing drag. The tail surfaces are all in perfect streamline form which makes the plane a deadly lighter. Armament is a vital factor in Fighting but not in streamlining. Wheels are retractable with the nose wheel going directly into the fuselage while the landing wheels go into the wings. This plane is not the fastest in the world but by far the best streamlined. N.

His blonde hair lay smoothly in waves, whereas before it was dulled with dirt, now it lay neatly combed. His natu- rally good physique ruined by poor posture, he now stood straight and tall, with shoulders square as if he were ready to face the world's troubles. Four months ago he had been one to shirk life's duties. He had been careless, happy- go-lucky, with little respect for his elders. Al- though he was a member of the Home Guard, he rarely attended. He was now a straight and forward looking soldier, visiting the Home if ' LAUREL if Guard the first night on his furlough home, where he not only spoke respectfully to all the men but also greeted the officers with a smart salute. It is said that the Army either makes or breaks a man. It certainly has changed Phil from the town's slackard to a soldier any town could be proud of-and all in four months. E. Stewart I43.

There was a soft breeze from the lake which softly caressed my face. The tall, stately pines stood wavering arrogantly, their strong trunks hold- ing their heads high above all the other trees. I could smell the pine needles as they lay forming a mat over the forest's floor. Even the checker- berry had a delightfully different taste all its own, as if it had absorbed some of the beauty of the scene. The soft rustling of the pine needles, together with the low whistling of the breeze, formed a sound effect which blended with the rest of the scenery. This, indeed, was a breath of ecstacy. D.

MY FUNERAL AS PLANNED WHEN I HAVE BEEN MISUSED When I was younger, and sometimes even today, when I feel that I have been the object of much criticism and comment, I like to think that if I should suddenly die, either by poison- ing or some other equally tragic means, perhaps people might feel sorry because they had treated me with no more respect. I imagine all my relatives and those who have helittled me as standing around weeping and mourning that such a dear child should die so young, and realizing at last that the only reason for such a tragedy was their own hard-heartedness. How- ever, I never get much further than thinking about it, for about this time my brother, who delights in adding his two cents' worth, yells from the foot of the stairs that mamma says it's time to set the table and I better hurry up, or else!

Comstock '44, Assignment: Book review in informal letter style. R. F. D. No. 2 Farmington, Maine March 19, 1943 Dear Shirley, I have finished reading the book Above Suspicion and am now keeping the promise which I made to you, to write and tell you about the book when I finished. The author of Above Suspicion is Helen Maclnnes, a woman who has traveled exten- sively in France, Belgium, Northern Spain, Aus- trian Tyrol and Bavaria. She speaks French and German fluently, and her travels serve as a background for Above Suspicion. Perhaps you have read her latest novel- Assignment in Brittany, which was a recent best seller. She is quite a young woman, born in Glasgow, Scotland, and a graduate of the University of Glasgow. Above Suspicion is a story which tells the ways and means of eluding the Gestapo. The chief characters, Richard and Frances Myles, residents of England, were frequent visitors to the continent, and consequently were picked for the job of attempting to rescue an important person connected with the opposers of Naziism from his Nazi captors. As this couple reached France, they were told to go to a certain res- taurant, and sit at a certain table. Mrs. Myles was to wear a red rose in her hair, and they were to wait here until a man should walk by and say a few words to them, telling them the time and place in which to meet their next ac- complice. This same thing took place in numerous cities in France and Belgium until they finally reached Germany. Being con- stantly followed, they had to be extremely care- 33 ful not to say anything which might be held against them. Having learned the whereabouts of the man for whom they were searching, they went to call on the master of the house, whom they found to be one of their German friends back in England, While here, the subject of music was brought up and Mrs. Myles offered to sing. The song which she sang was the code song of the spies, and the man for whom they were searching, being upstairs, heard the music and attracted their attention by making the chair to which he was tied, bang against the door. The Myleses departed only to return later when the guards were busy and rescue their objective. They then went to Southern Germany to the home of another Anti-Nazi. Here they dis- guised themselves, but despite this, as Mrs. Myles was in the city, she was recognized by a Nazi official and captured. Learning where she had been taken from an Anti-Nazi sympathizer, Richard endeavored to rescue her. I will not tell you whether or not he was successful for if I should, the story would not be so interesting to you. I recommend this book to you, for it is very interesting. It is the kind of book that you can't stop reading until it is finished. Although it is rather hard to understand in places, the most of it is easily comprehensible. The author treats her subject in a very enticing manner, which holds one's interest to the very last word. If you read this book, I think you will enjoy it fully as much as I did. Sincerely yours, Q Priscilla Priscilla Thomas '45. Assignment: Book review. I MARRIED ADVENTURE by Osa Iohnson HE book, I Married Adventure, was writ- ten by Usa Leighty Iohnson, who was the wife of the famous game hunter and explorer, Martin Iohnson. It tells us how the watchmaker's son from Independence meets and marries the Santa Fe engineer's daughter from Chanute, Kansas, and of their exciting adventures and experiences in the far corners of the earth. Martin Iohnson always had his faithful cam- era, taking the most daring shots of charging 'lr LAUREL 'A' lions and other jungle life. On one of their expeditions to the jungles of Africa, they dis- covered a hidden, uncharted lake, which they named Lake Paradise for its beauty. At Borneo they studied the native life and took pictures of the animals and native tribes there. They also visited the primitive islands of the Solomon group and took pictures of the cannibal chief, Nagapate, and his tribe. In the end the world famous explorer and big game hunter, Martin johnson, was killed in a plane crash. His wife, Osa, was injured but she was not killed. This hook was written in memory of their explora- tions and the dreams they shared, and is dedi- cated to her loving husband. I think that most readers would find this book interesting and exciting as well as educational, because it pictures so much of the lives of these two people, the jungles and islands that they visited, and the life of the animals and natives in those distant lands. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is adventurous in spirit, and hope it will be found as thrilling as I thought it to be. R. Luce '46. Assignment fAeronauticsj: Paper on some phase of our study that has interested you. FARMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BECOMES AIR MINDED HE beginning of the school year saw a new subject in our curriculum for the air minded boys, aeronautics, under the capable supervision of Mr. Richard B. Gould of the faculty. The aeronautics class consists of about 20 boys who are interested in learning more fully the growing importance and maintenance of the aircraft, which are the up-to-date material in modern warfare. As the war develops, the need for more and better aviators is becoming evi- dent in the 1942 production figures. - In this class a general knowledge of aircraft is learned from the most essential instruments up to taking the aircraft off the ground and Hy- ing it. A partial list of the units taken up by the class includes types of aircraft, mechanized features of planes, principal parts, aerodynamics, meteorology, avigation faerial navigationj, air- craft recognition, and aids and safeguards use- ful in flying. Even for the boys who do not intend to be- come aviators, this course has many benefits such as the maintenance and Hying of light planes from one point to another. This feature will probably be most important in the future, for everyone will undoubtedly either own or share a small plane after the war is over. This course is very timely and interesting for everyone because part of each period is spent discussing and presenting new facts in the his- tory of aviation, which will without doubt be the next mode of travel in America. G. Hunt '43, Assignment fCivicsj: Problems of Today. YOUTH AND THE WAR AR has many bad effects on our youths. It breaks up the home. It breaks up the educational program of our young men. Many will never complete their education after the war is over. In army camps there are many temptations put in the way of the young men. War has a tendency to tear down that which every young man should consider an important part of his life character. ' Character is something which takes a long time to build up in many instances, but it can be destroyed in a very short time if temptation is allowed to overcome righteous will power. Temptation is not only in our army camps but in defense factories where there are young boys and girls working together. A few unguarded words spoken by either boy or girl may lead to an unpleasant ending. Social gatherings in army camps where liquor is present also olfer temptations regardless of what the infiuence in the home might have been. A short time ago there was a young man who was called to go into the service. A few of his friends invited him out for a party. A friend of his had taken along some liquor for the occa- sion. The young draftee had never taken a drink of liquor before in his life, but he thought, Oh, what is the use? I might as well join in and have a good time. If I have to go in the service with the possibility of getting killed I might as well get all I can out of life while I am here. 'lr LAUREL if l wonder if he is really getting anything out of life, or is it just a new experience which tends to break down the general health and lowers his resistance. What is true in this case is true in thousands of other cases throughout our nation. It is difficult to believe that any good could possibly come out of the horrors of warg but I think there are a few constructive things which should be considered. First of all let us consider the physical training which every man is put through. Regular rest and relaxation under proper guidance have a tendency to build sound minds and strong bodies. These young men also have regular medical check-ups, which a great many times are neglected in civilian life. Many of these young men go through a great deal of suffering and sorrow, all these things help make them more appreciative of the bigger and better things of life. I am sure any young man after going through such experiences would not tolerate these smaller and petty things that some of us have had the misfortune to read in many of the recent issues of our local paper. Another important factor is that war brings out the spiritual side of a man's life. There are no atheists in fox holes -- They all prayfl This was quoted recently by one of our Ameri- can soldiers in North Africa. You are familiar with that perilous story of Eddie Rickenbacker and his men drifting help- lessly on a crude raft. Did they give up? No! They called upon a higher power to give them food and water and to guide them to safety. Many of these men knew nothing about pray- ers, but they prayed. Don't you think that these men will set aside temptation after this? Of course. l believe it is the same with our young people, both in the service, and on the home fronts. They are going to look on life with a deeper and greater meaning. And these young people will never be affected by the great temptations of War. D. Stanley ,46. Assignment QCivicsj: Problems of Today. WHY DO PEOPLE WORK? OMEWHERE in America a boy is moving along a road that leads to school, to ado- lescence, to manhood, to a world that is bound to be different from any world we know today. As he trudges along that road that to him seems so long he dreams. Not all the dreams of young people come true, but for young men and women who have planned and worked and fought, a surprising number of their dreams have come true. For many, America has become the land of oppor- tunity. Throughout America factories are run- ning twenty-four hours a day, men are working over-time, lights are burning in offices far into the night. Why are all these men and women working? They are working to help progress and to make this country better for the people of to- morrow. The younger generation are going to schools and colleges to study for their future. They are trying to better themselves for their life work. Daniel Boone, with his company of men, set- tled in Boonesborough in 1775 with many hard- ships, one of which was the fight for food. This question was settled one day when Boone said to his men, Those who do not work shall not eat. And almost at once they realized why they should work. They came to the conclusion that if they didn't work for a time during the day they would not eat or even exist. Many people today realize the same thing and as a result of labor they find they have accomplished what, as young people, they dreamed of. People work to obtain a higher standard of living. They want to work to get advance- ments in their work so that they can get higher pay and as a result, better themselves in every line of living. Some people have lived in small houses with very little food and clothing for some time, but as they followed the example of others they have now the best of living condi- tions- the answer to their problem before now was work. Men and women today are working, not only to better themselves, but to keep the war pro- duction going. We have duties to perform, difficult duties that call for all our skills and courage and resources, spiritual as well as ma- terial. We must work for what we have and all that we have. We cannot afford to lose time or spirit in listening to disheartening rumors or gossip, we must not stop producing. All this necessary-to-life production requires many skilled laborers and workers. M. Deroche '46. ir LAUREL ir Assignment: As my family tells it. QSimple narrationj. A FAVORITE STORY OF THE FAMILY NE of the familyls favorite stories is of my great-uncle Iohn, who joined the Gold Rush of '49, At the time of the Gold Rush Iohn was only eighteen, but he was determined to go to Cali- fornia. He bought his time from his father at the rate of one hundred dollars a year, which he earned by hard work in a short time. Then with another companion he left Phillips, Maine, late in the fall of ,49. They traveled by horseback to Boston, where they secured passage on one of the sailing vessels. The journey took them down the east coast of North and South America to California. It took six months from the time they left Boston before they reached their destination. When the two friends arrived in California, they expected, like all others, to find gold just waiting to be picked up by whoever wanted it. They soon changed their minds when their savings were exhausted and they had secured no gold. They did, however, find employment in one of the local mines, which payed even bet- ter salaries than the gold Helds. ln less than a year Iohnis companion lost his life in a mine cave-in. This part of the mine was worth little to the company so they refused to clear it off. It took Iohn over a year to secure enough money to pay for the digging out of the body and giving it a decent burial. Later Iohn was married and settled down for life only coming back to Maine twice during the time which he lived. Not much is known about his life except a few newspaper clippings and letters which he sent home. He died in 1906 after an active life with the same gold company which he joined in 1850. He left a wife and children, but no one here knows how many or their names. E. Wilbur '43.

' ' ELLO - This is Malcolm Barne's otiice - lane Sawyer speaking 'i - - Hi, there - Robert Gray's residence - Memorial Hospital - This is mel 'i These are only a few of the typical American greetings we hear over the telephone every day. lust imagine the surprised expression that would cross our faces if one day we should pick up the telephone to hear a quiet, well-mannered voice saying, Are you there? This is the typical English greeting, in fact it is about the only one heard from an Englishman. To American people this greeting seems in- deed a foolish response and as one Yankee wit remarked, Are you there? If you are not there, then there is no use in continuing the conversation. The quiet, reserved, courteous manner of the English people accounts for this formal greeting. It is more than likely that they feel our greet- ings are much too carefree and Hippant. The recent motion picture, A Yank At Eaton, well illustrates the Englishman's quiet reserve in the expression I say, old fellow, which was used many times throughout the picture. It will help us later on though to understand the English people and their phrases and greetings which may to us, seem so stiff. If we put ourselves for a time in the shoes of an Englishman we will be able to see his side of the conversation as well as our own. It has often been said that Americans are much too lazy about their speech. Therefore, when for the first time we hear, Are you there? let's try not to collapse from shock but think how the Englishman must feel at hearing This is me . I. M. Stevens '44.

Our boys barely squeaked out a four point margin, but as the last second ticked off the Grey- hounds were ahead 37-33. The llulldogs of Madison put down the stubborn Greyhounds on Jan. 5. Even on their own floor the local lads were on the short end of a 20-15 score. The boys went to Wfilton, Jan. 8, and found the Legge coached Eagles too smart and aggressive for them, as they lost 46- 17.

Coach Gould has not announced any definite schedule as yet. However there has been some talk about having a bus league with Livermore Falls, jay and XVilton playing each team three games. This would make a good schedule with plenty of opposition. R.

Again because of lack of transporta- tion these snowbound Greyhounds had only one encounter that being the VVinter Carnival at XYilton, Feb. 6.

Dick Hobbs and Phil Foster were out- standing and were the only two to earn their letters. TRACK RIGIIT now there is nothing definite about track. Coach Richard Gould is ex- pected to issue the call, however, as soon as the cinder paths at the Hippach field dry out. It depends on the enthusiasm shown by the boys and the transportation situa- tion as to whether or not there will be any meets. There was no cross country last fall because of lack of transportation and lack of candidates. i GIRLS' A. A. XVITII Miss Alice Yerkes in her first year at F. H. S. as girls' Physical Educa- tion instructor, the lassies have enjoyed a rugged but pleasant schedule. As in the last two years the girls did not par- ticipate in interscholastic but only intra- mural activities. The girls' activities have consisted of volley-ball. tenequoit, soccer, softball, basketball and tumbling. ' Basketball was the chief interest of -the majority of the lassies. A series of in- terclass games was held with the Juniors defeating all comers and winning the title. Tumbling was put into the girls' schedule this year and was accepted with enthusiasm. Many exceptional lady tumblers have been developed. , This group is led by Mary Pinkham. ln the system which Miss Yerkes has set up it is possible for the girls to earn their letters and numerals by a point system. Under this system 'each sport that the girls enter gives them credits or points. There is much competitive spirit de- rived from this systemg this has helped make the girls' sports year more inter- esting. - E p i , gf 5 xxx I Lifes- 'N 25? 'k LAUREL 'lr Log of the Bark F. H. S.

Assignment: Paragraph developed by details. HATS OF TODAY Hats of every hue are seen in the shop windows as the Easter season approaches. There are hats of numerous styles and every color to suit the tastes of all. There is the neat navy wool felt hat with a long softly draped rayon veil for the conserva- tive type. There is a lovely flowered hat of soft blue for dress-up and a beautiful red one with a Hower-petaled crown for the gayer type. Then too, there are the clever suit hats of wool felt with the military visor, the smartly styled turban, and the wide brimmed straw ones. All are gayly colored and possess the art of lifting one's spirit. T. Pressey '43. IDEAL BOY DATE He doesn't have to be a Clark Gable -just an all American guy.

Knows when and how to wear clothes attractively and is not always talking about her previous dates. Above all she must take into consideration that her date is not always a banker's son. F. H. S.
