Maynard as advisor, has been one of our most active groups. Busy with numerous projects, they have continued to sponsor the group of Navajo children adopted in previous years. This is a sum of S72 annually, the money this year going for an out-of-school recreation area. Current projects have included the Red Cross Drive, the Tide of Toys, the March of Dimes, Concessions at the basketball games, and Carnival Ball. Their financial project, the basketball Concessions, is a major responsibility in itself, and the success of the Carnival Ball was the result of their efforts. This group is an honorary body chosen by the students with the several classes represented in the proportion of 4 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores, and l freshman. These students make up the present personnel: Seniors Iuniors N. Barker B. Davis K. Frazer R. Marquis G. Lamkin R. Parlin I. Tarbox Sophomores Freshman N. Folger M. Iackson C. Murray BAND ' Under the direction of Mr. Lincoln johnson of the faculty, Farmington High School has this year organized a new band of some 40 members.

The Band has played for several football and basketball games, including the County M 5: S Tournaments, led the Hall0we'en Parade, parti- cipated in the Armistice Day program at Wil- ton, and entertained on Career Day. A concert is planned for spring. Band letters may be earned after Z years of faithful performance, except for this year's seniors, who will be eligible at the close of a faithful performance this year. They are as follows: I.

Bailey ORCHESTRA, GIRLS CHOIR, MIXED CHOIR These music groups have again, under the fine leadership of their director, Miss Iola Perkins, been rated as among the better school musical groups of the state. The rotating schedule this year has provided greater musical opportunity to many more students than formerly, so that membership in these organiza- tions has greatly increased, being respectively, 36, 56, 60, members. Among the activities and projects of these groups holiday programs and assemblies over the PA are spring and Christmas concerts, System, participation in community music groups such as FSTC orchestra, providing musical programs for community groups such as Rotary, representation at state and regional festivals-36 this year, and accompanying and incidental music for various school programs.

CAFETERIA The Community Cafeteria, operating at the Community Center, under the supervision of Mrs. Thais Linscott, now serves three schools, namely, the W, G. Mallett School, West Farmington, and Farmington High School. Of the approximately 300 pupils served daily, 100 are high school students. Some 15 of these assist in varied service and thereby secure their lunch. These lunches at all times consist of a balanced meal including one hot dish, at the very reasonable cost of 20c. No small amount of the success of this project is due to the four very efficient ladies who preside in the kitchen i. e. Mrs Iosie Besaw, Mrs. Rita Charest, Mrs. Beatrice Webber, Mrs. Verna Yeaton.

At the close of an evening program of stunts, a Vic dance and refreshments followed. The Iunior-Senior Prom of last May was semi- formal, the juniors acting as hosts and making all preparations. Their decorative scheme followed How Deep is the Oceann as a theme song, with appropriate settings of nets, fishes, etc. The Mainonians orchestra played.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Carnival Queen, Peggy Lou Iohnson, by last year's queen, Priscilla Webber. Queen Peggy was attended by I-I. Thompson '50, A. Frary '51, and A. Carrigan '53. Of equal interest this evening, was the awarding of the Dr. Charles W. Bell Memorial Trophy for the second time to Farmington High School. This was formally presented to Coach Richard Gould and Co-capts. I. Green and C. Brinkman, by Dr. Bell's son and daugh- ter, Mr. Richard Bell and Mrs. Sarah Bell Folger.

It seems like a simple enough expression, so I can surely Write a paper on mine and still have loads of time to play tennis with the Mkidsf' But wait a minute, could be this is going to take more thought than planned for. lust what is my heritage? A lovely Spanish shawl. a priceless string of pearls, or just a lowly old copper kettle with a thrilling story of the pioneer woman I turned out to be just like? Oh, no. Who cares about antiques and ancestors. They have nothing to do with my life in 1950! Hold it, there could be another side to the story. Iust where did I get that love and longing for the great out-doors? Lately the song Far Away Places seems to have been written solely for me. And there's another thing-music, and art too. It seems that I have a priceless heritage from my Portuguese an- cestors in these three interests. Though I donlt have their flashing black eyes and dark swarthy skin as my mother does, I think I have fully more of the character of those old pirates and seafaring men than she. However, if all the tales of their murderous tempers and willful ways are true, mine have been considerably diluted. Then there's Daddyis side to think about. That's English, and being English-American is the next best to being Indian. because weren't they really the first permanent settlers? Many of my Edwards ancestors have been either ministers, educators or farmers, so my intel- ligence, though not an especially outstanding characteristic. was well founded. All of these inherited traits are fine, but the ones that really mean the most to me are any American's heritage, whether his background is English, Mexican or Chinese. These are the right to play hard, study hard and to make the most of every opportunityg the freedom from racial prejudice: social equality: permission to speak one's mind freely, to tell his dreams and ideals. All these are our greatest inheritance- freedom. Priscilla Edwards '51 0 The LAUREL 9 Experlence and Learning WHAT I OWE TO MRS. GERTRUDE SAWYER Until the time I was in the fourth grade. I regarded my self as an exceptionally smart girl. Most of my teachers gave me special things to do and thus promoted the feeling rather than overcoming it. By that time I was, blandly, a conceited brat. Mrs. Sawyer saw this and quickly set herself to cure me of it. She perhaps did not even show me my just due. Many times when I stayed after school, she severely criticized my carelesseness, which was my outstanding fault. I recall one night I sat in her room for half an hour dreading the long walk home just trying so spell Lincoln, Probably in most cases, since it was not n spelling lesson, she would have excused her pupil before that, but I had never before had to stay after school to make up work and she wanted to show me that I was no better than the rest. I even reached the point where a mingling of my carelessness and conceit told me not to bother to pass in my papers. Doing them was not hard for me but it required a little thinking. which I didn't consider worth my while. For each paper thus treated, I spent a long time doing some hard thinking. Strangely enough I still liked Mrs. Sawyer. I used to get to school early in the morning so that I could help with the borders and calendars for the blackboards, and the time we put in them I thoroughly enjoyed. Perhaps she didn't completely succeed: perhaps I'm still conceited. Perhaps I even still think lim smart, but I have reached the point where I'm willing to give my colleagues credit for a few brains too. Ieanne Rounds 'Sl WHO IS THE RUNT NOW? My brother, who resembles me quite a bit and is older, lives away from home, is married. and has a little girl. Whenever he wants any- thing done and it is so he can come for me and I am able to go, we get together and work together or do whatever there is to do-saw wood, plough, prepare or plant the garden spot, plough snow, dig potatoes or whatever. How different now from when I was a little runtl Or is it? I wonder. Then I had to run errands, hunt for the ball when he and older boys were playing ball and I had rather pitch or catch. When they went fishing, it was Louie, get my pole and dig some worms. If I asked to go, it was, 'KNo, you would only be in the way. Besides you have to lug in the wood and get the cows. Or when they a-hunting would go, and I would so like to go- You would trip and shoot yourself. You had better stay at home. When he went out in the evening, it was, A'Stay home, Louie. I won't be home until late and you know you have to go to bed early. Then there was this measuring when we stood by the wall and got the old yard stick, if Mother still had one that we hadn't broken. or if we could hunt it out from where she had hidden it. There was a time when I seemed to stay just so tall and he was shooting up in the air. Then I started to grow and gain on him. And do you know, he never asks to measure any more. The last time I remember he was just one half inch taller. Who is the runt now? I wonder again. Louie Barker 'il SO YOU WANT TO TAKE FRENCH, HUH?

You can learn more than going to school a year-about papering that is. Our bathroom had never been papered all over in one kind of paper. So I undertook to take oH the old that was already on. The walls being of celotex, this was no easy job. After breaking a lovely old cooking spatula that had been in the family for twenty years, I, as a last resort, turned to warm water and vinegar. This, after many soppings and many white lines down my dirty arm, softened the years old paste, and the paper yielded to my tugging. This was enough for one day so I retired to my bed. In the morning I was determined to paper that room. Our relatives would be here in a few days for the Thanksgiving feast and this was no sight for them to see. Armed with borrowed brushes, the dishpan full of cold water paste, the best sewing shears in the house, two sawhorses, an old window blind, three back issues of the FRANKLIN IOURNAI., two single rolls of wallpaper,Aand my mother, I set up work in a two by four bathroom. In the next four hours you have never seen such a delightfully efficient piece of work being done. That is, not by two people who had never papered before. We just sailed around the lights, wash basin, and tub with the ease of a skilled Workman. Of course we found some difhculty in matching the Hoating bubbles. Then just like that we were done. Every inch of wall in our bathroom was covered with blue paper having colored bubbles floating about in a design that definitely appealed. We were naturally very proud of our job, and after cleaning the tub of waste wallpaper, scrubbing the hardened paste from the wood- work, and scraping up the paper stuck to the floor, with the broken spatula, we had a new room. Later upon one of my visits to the bathroom, I set about to study the wallpaper. There was something wrong about this little room I took so much pride in. Suddenly I realized what it was. The wallpaper was all up-:ide-down. NVe had all the bubbles prettily floating below the water line instead of above it, We have kept this almost a secret until now, but since it is about time to paper the bathroom again, I Figure it is all right to tell. Harriett Thompson 350 A PAINFUL SUBIECT I'm about to make a confession that no confessor should make, but itys probably the truest bit of truth I've ever written. I am a person who can't possibly throw away a thing. For months now my mother has been telling me to clean OLII my bottom drawer and as I Finally decided it was about time, I began this task. I set about it one cold night. With wastebaskets around me, I sat Indian fashion on the floor and proceeded to clean out my drawer. Reaching into it, the first thing I picked out was a piece of my sister's wedding cake. For several minutes I sat there debating with my- self about the value of that cake, but Finally I decided that I couldn't possibly eat it now anyway, so I very carefully placed it in the wastebasket and groped back into the drawer. My next haul was a stack of BARKERS, C The LAUREL 0 which I re-read carefully and then placed in the wastebasket. Next I chanced upon the corsage I had received for singing a solo one year. Faded and dried it was, but just looking at it brought back the lump to my throat. I nearly choked, so into the Wastebasket it went. Next was a small dog's collar, my dog's first, then her second and third. Chewed up as they were, I decided that these I must keep, so I placed them on the floor beside me. Next I chanced upon a box of theater tickets. also basketball, football. and baseball tickets, and one by one I threw them all away. Then came a miscella- neous collection--a cigar from a wedding, dog medicine, my baby curls, a bottle of sand from Old Orchard Beach, rocks from the White Mountains, a twig of cedar from somewhere, and a rose from graduation. One by one I threw them away. Then quite satisfied with myself I straightened out my drawer and was about to call mom, when on the very top of the waste basket I noticed my dog's rubber ball. I c0uldn'z throw that away, so I tucked it back into the drawer. Then I spied my Girls Scout Handbook and school notebooks. One by one I retrieved these from the waste basket to the drawer until finally all that was left in the waste basket was the one lone piece of wedding cake. This too, I very carefully replaced in the drawer, forced it shut and restored the empty wastebaskets to their corners. Now whenever anyone mentions bureau drawers. I feel like slinking away into a corner, for now I know Iill never be able to dispose of any of the contents of mine. Roxie Moody '50 BOYS' STATE Boys' State is a working model of our State of Maine government. It is held every year for one week at some college campus. This project is sponsored by the American Legion to give many youths a better understanding of our state government. It is run and supervised by American Legion members, university profes- sors, and state oflice holders. However, boys may be sponsored and sent there by any organization or group. Iames Rand and I were fortunate enough to attend last summer, thanks to the Roderick Crosby Post, which paid all of our expenses. VVe arrived at the U. of M. Sunday afternoon and were assigned to our quarters and parties. We then received our meal tickets and pro- ceeded to get acquainted with the other citizens of Boys' State, called Dirigo State. Monday and Tuesday we held town meetings, set up COLIDIY gOVCfI'llTlCl1lS and CaIx1Piligned vigorously for oHice. Many good speeches and rallies were held by all parties. VVednesday was the big election, which was run exactly like the regular political elections. I failed to be elected to any olhce though Iimmy was more successful, being elected sheriff of his county and also a member of the House of Representatives. Thursday and Friday the legislature was set up and worked under the watchful eyes of members of our Maine State Legislature. Friday night we received our diplomas and were fortunate enough to have Governor Payne give us a few words. He patiently autographed all of our diplomas, which amounted to quite a lot, since there were about one hundred twenty, live boys there. On Saturday all the activities were closed and we left for home about noon. having spent an enjoyable and educational week. It was interesting to meet boys from all over the state and even more interesting to see how often it is that you now meet one of the boys that was in your barrack. This brought to a close a week which I shall always remember as an enjoyable, profitable, and thoroughly satisfying time. Albert Mitchell '50 Description an Fancy MY FATHER'S OCCUPATION I think my father has a very interesting occupation. Every chance I get, on holidays, week-ends, and sometimes evenings, I go over to the mill to watch him. He works at Metcalf's Wood Products in VVest Farmington as a mechanic. If machines break down, my father repairs them. Because of this the men at the mill call him Doc Welch. They say he is a doctor of machines. Besides 0 The LAUREL ' this he also makes machines. He makes 551.10 an hour. He works from Monday to Friday. Sometimes, if a machine is broken and needs extra time, he has to work evenings or Saturday and Sunday. But my father doesn't mind because he loves to work on machinery. He has made nine machines: a cabin machine, three squirrel cages, two miter saws, a machine he calls WelchIs Wildcat, a beveling machine, and a boring machine. He is now making a machine that will bore a square hole through the center of a square block. Out of all these machines my father thinks his best achievement is the cabin machine. He is very proud of this. This machine grooves out the logs, preparing them to be made into does it: First the back and front of the cabin are grooved, machine a miniature cabin. This is how he and then the ends, also on this same the ends are mitered on a 300 level so that the roof will fit. Therefore when the cabin is put together, the front, back, and ends Fit perfectly to make a cute little cabin. These cabins are sent to the Paine Incense Company in Lewiston, Maine. After they are Filled with incense, they are retailed, finally finding themselves in the homes of many different people all over the country. This work is very sensitive. I have seen my father working out plans for a machine when he used 1l64 scale. I would hate to make a machine with spaces, saws, bolts and screws as small as that. But as I said before my father doesnlt mind-he loves his work. Mildred Welch '51 SAUNA In my neighborhood there are about ten Finnish families, most of whom have a steam bath house, called in Finnish the sauna.,' Most people wonder what the steam bath house looks like. Well, it isn't very fancy looking. It is about the same shape as a log cabin of two rooms. One is used for the dressing room, which usually has benches or seats and also hooks to hang your clothes on. The second room has rocks piled up in one corner with a small opening left where the fire is built. Fitted over the small opening is a big steel drum or barrel. This is used for the hot water. In another corner there are two big tubs used to store the cold water. Then on the other side of the room are three wide steps, each one higher than the other. This is where you get the steam, Some of the people that come to take a steam bath ask, What am I supposed to do when I go in there? It is very simple. After undressing yourself you go into the wash room. The hot air hits you in the face and almost takes your breath away QThat is what some of the people say the first time they take a sauna. j Next you get yourself a little tub or wash basin with your water the desired temperature. Then you climb up to the top step, or at least the second one, and throw some water on the rocks, which are hot, to make the steam. You continue this with a small dipper, sitting there until you have perspired. Then you come down to the first or lowest step and wash yourself with soap and water. Next you fill your tub with clean water with which you rinse yourself. Lastly, you go out to the dress- ing room to dry and dress yourself. When you walk out you will probably say, 'fGee, I feel goodln or HI feel ten years younger! The perspiring cleans the pores of the skin so it is good for the complexion and also for keeping pimples away. My description of the steam bath house is of the old fashioned type. The more modern ones are made much better. Old fashioned or modern, I couldn't get along without a sauna ever Saturda eveninr. ,. - Y y 2' Miriam Salo 'Dl ROBIN HOOD'S FIRST DEFEAT VVhenever we think of archery, we somehow always associate Robin Hood with it. Robin Hood was an excellent shot, no doubt. for it is said that he could split a wand at a hundred paces. But why shouldn't he be an excellent shot? He had practiced all his life. Yet, if Robin Hood could come back through the ages and shoot a round with an expert present-day bowman, I am afraid that he would return to the past with a defeat on his record. For he would have not only a good archer to contend with, but also modern science and superior materials. To begin with, Robin Hoodls arrows were 0 The LAUREL U against him. They were wood, which was not always of the straightest grain. They would also be of varied weights and in flight, would have a high air resistance because of the large diameter of the arrow and the crude method of fletching and attaching the pile or point to the arrows. Robin Hood's opponent would be using metal arrows, matched in spine, length. diameter, and also matched to under one grain in weight. They would be fletched and piled with greater precision and would all be straight. Robin I-Iood's bow would probably compare favorably with our wood bows, although a modern larninated wood bow or a metal bow would have a better cast and therefore a lower trajectory. This would be a slight advantage for the modern bowman. Robin I-Iood's greatest disadvantage would be his method of shooting, for the modern archer shoots with precision sights and has a set of constant values found by slow motion pictures and line calculations. Robin Hood shot by instinct and only became an expert at archery through hard constant practice. His very life often depended upon his skill in this art. Although Robin Hood today would be far outclassed by precision equipment, his legendary exploits have served as an incentive to modern archers. Through him archery is slowly being revived as a popular sport, for the how is no longer a necessary weapon, having been out, moded by far deadlier ones. Paul Brinkman '50 DAY DREAMS Across the fields of yesterday He sometimes comes to me. A little lad just back from play- The lad I used to be. Sometimes as I sit, not thinking of anything special, my mind wanders back to span the years of my life. The present fades away and slowly an image forms in my mindls eye, and I am oblivious to everything but my wandering in the past. I see myself at play, hard on the heels of a notorious cattle rustler, the killer, Sidewinder Pete. I Find myself on the bridge ol' the speedy ship, The Falcon , Fighting off the crew of mutineers. Again I am a famous detective tracking down an infamous gang of dope peddlers. But some times, when it was time for dinner, or it was getting dark, mother used to call me from my work . Needless to say I used to became disgusted with my age, and then I would say, 'K I'Il be glad when I get big: then I can do just as I please. Although I didn't know it then, it was the happiest time of my. or rather anyone's, life. And then the stark realization that I am no longer three or five or eight years old comes flooding back to me. I realize that old memories do not help to build my future. Then I resolve to do better and really try to get ahead. I know that day-dreaming is not beneficial, but my resolves slip away and I soon find myself escaping into an aura of utter peace. Again I am reliving the past and wishing it could be, Richard Paul ,52 TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A TEEN-AGERS' PARENTS I am only a teen-ager giving my opinion on the trials and tribulations of a teen-agerls parents. To start with, you are all flustered about that telephone call that just came through. You are still dreaming about it, when all at once you come to, that the little old clock is ticking right along! All at once you realize that glamour boy will be calling for you at 7:00 o'clockI Then you suddenly land on your mother with a familiar question, Mom, what can I wear? I just simply can't find a thing! Mom comes to the rescue. The date gets under way after you have spent an hour primping. When you return home you are just bursting with joy about your new discovery. Dad can't get a word in edgewise. You know very Well that he would like to boast about the new motor for his saw that Mom has just bought for him. You finally get settled down for a few minutes and jump into bed. Dad just gets to sleeping peacefully when all at once you yell at Mom. Oh! I forget to tell you. He asked me to go to the dance Friday night! This wakes Dad but 0 The LAUREL I again he settles down to his sleep. This is quite likely to occur several times. Up bright and early in the morning you again ask the question, What can I wear? I' Mom usually comes to your rescue. You look at the clock and see you are going to be late if you don't separate from that mirror. You run downstairs and gobble your breakfast down. Uh! but the hands on that clock surely can travel! Zoom! Off you go. Mom expects you to come right home from school to help with the work, but what comes up but a baseball game, and if you had to miss that you would simply die. Mom comes to the rescue again. At last you arrive home and eat supperg then you either go to band or choir rehearsal or call up some friends on the telephone. When Mom wants the phone it's, lust a minute, Mom! This goes on for at least thirty minutes. Then finally you hang up and get at your homework. These are just a few of the trials and tribula- tions of a teen-ager's parents, but you have probably heard your parents say just as I have, It is worth it alll Clarita DeWolfe '51 HOME ROOM 1950 Aloud noise, that grows steadily louder, accompanied by yells of maniacal delight. Suddenly the door bursts open and the room bursts into a vast panorama of color. No, it is not a revolution, merely the students of our home room coming in to roost. And roost they do. Snap, Crackle, Pop. The Rice Krispie Kids in action! Now I ask you, should the above slam a book down on the hand of the gentler sex? Or a girl pop her gum, gently imitating a safety valve? Should a teacher's remarks be met with hoots of derision and only ignored? Also consider the black market in home work swapping. In our father's day such action would have brought forth prompt expulsion from school, with no thought of possible result- ing repercussions. Consider the teacher's angle. Imagine trying to teach valiantly resisting adolescents all day and having to return to a roomful of sound in addition. Try putting a muffler on vocal ex- ercise, lifting feet only six inches oH the Hoor and following through quietly. Mannerly behavior is always a help. Don't over do it of course. No apples for the teachers are necessary, but do these reforms gradually lest the teachers collapse and shock treatment follow. George R. Sloane '51 NOVEMBER Thomas Hood once wrote a poem No sun-no noon- No morn-no moon No dawn - no dusk -no proper time of day- No shade - no shine - no butterflies -no bees No fruits - no flowers - no leaves - no birds - November! Mr. Hood must have been especially gloomy that day-for really November is not too bad! Although people consider it a drab month, if they search they can find glorious warmth and color. Red oak leaves still cling to branches: forgotten apples, frozen but gay, decorate gnarled treesg beechnuts, hidden in golden brown leaves, lie at our feetg a chickadee, dressed in prim grey with his perky black cap and tail greets us with his cheerful chick-a-dee- dee-dee! Indoors we sprinkle a bit of Magic Fire upon the snapping logs on the hearth and sit back to enjoy fully the coppery greens, brilliant blues, and radiant reds of the fire. We pop some corn, munch crispy apples until the I-ire brings on a drowsiness. Then open the window to a frosty night, snuggle under warm blankets, and with a thankful prayer for our blessings be glad that we can appreciate November! Diane Eutler '53 THE FIRST SNOW STORM Saturday night I went to the movies. I didn't get out until late. It had been snowing a little that afternoon and evening followed by a light rain. As I walked home I thought of all the things I could do, now that the snow had come. When I got home, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of milk, but before I turned the light on, I looked down in the intervale across the road below our house. The moon was very bright and the Field looked as if it were 9 The LAUREL 9 illuminated with artificial light. It was as if a white carpet had been unrolled and where the ground was newly ploughed for spring planting the dark furrows looked like designs of chocolate put on a white frosting. The trees were covered with snow and ice. Their branches made a glassy pattern in the moon light. Then I turned on the light and brought myself back to reality. Peter VVcbbcr '53 Review and Opinion THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD by Fulton Oursler The Greatest Story Ever Told H is a very exact and faithfully written story presenting the life of Iesus from day to day. This story portrays what the thoughts and emotions of our Lord Iesus were as recorded by the Apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Iohn. I liked the book very, very much. When I decided to read it, it was because I regarded it as being educational. It was really begun as a duty, but when I had read only a few pages I became completely absorbed and hardly set the book down until I was finished. In my Bible School and Sunday School days, we studied the life of Iesus, but there were many gaps in my mind. After reading this book all the pieces have fallen in place, and I have quite a complete picture of what happened so many centuries ago. The author showed a thorough and mature understanding. The book was very simply written, but he presented the story so warmly and clearly that you almost imagined yourself back in that period! He even made King Herod and Pontius Pilate seem human and you can understand their side of the situation. I could almost forgive them. Elaine Adams '50 COLOR BLIND by Margaret Halsey Color Blind is a book about racial prcju- dice. In particular, it is an autobiography written by Margaret Halsey about her expe- riences and Findings as a Senior Hostess in a canteen. This canteen was original in that it sponsored a no-discrimination policy. This puts the author in a position to speak on the problem of racial prejudice with authority. She relates of the dealing she had with irate Southerners, with the white girls' relation to- ward negro soldiers and visa versa. The author meets each problem squarely and not only answers the questions but tries to give solutions as well. The major points brought out to aid the racial problems are the dispersion of negroes through the U. S. and the individual's getting with a group to aid. She also points out the ways an individual might help, as by writing to his congressman, by giving money or by inviting negro speakers to one's club or organiza- tion. Mrs. Halsey not only speaks with authority but presents her ideas clearly and forcefully. She writes engagingly enough to hold your interest and to keep the facts from becoming stale. I cannot say I enjoyed this book but would not hesitate to advise a person interested in racial problems to read it. The author is indeed of a high caliber. Carl Brinkman '50 WINTER HARBOR Bernice Richmond Winter Harbor generally pictures Maine sea coast life and its people. Specifically, it tells the story of three summers in the Winter Harbor Lighthouse. of Bernice Richmond, her husband, their friends, and their feline Iohn, who was a woman-hater. Each summer she lived there was different and exciting. She always was a line hostess to her many New York friends, and she never failed to have a storm for them. There were many times when she and Iohn were alone, to watch the waves and the seagulls and lobster boats. The people of the Harbor itself were portrayed as hospitable, friendly and always willing to lend a hand. There were many humorous incidents in the book such as when poor Iohn was confined to the house and the barnswallows found it amusing to swoop down and peck his head. The author's purpose in writing this book was probably just for entertainment, hut it also might he to show what Maine folks are like. 9 The LAUREL 9 and sort of sell people on coming to Maine for vacations, since she was born here. She accom- plished this with many unique descriptive details. For instance, the walls of the living room were butterscotchu, and she named a little cove the place where the Little Men gathered driftwoodf' Her boat was called the Geranium, the tails of the new born kittens were ice-picks, and dressed up in black p. j.'s and boots he looked like a big black crow. I enjoyed the book immensely and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys personal experience books, as this is the best that I ever read. Elizabeth Keith '50 THE VOICE OF BUGLE ANN by McKinley Kantor This story is about a fox hound with a rare bugle-like voice. 1This may seem strange to those who arenlt acquainted with foxhounds, but a good voice is very important and it's hard to acquire a hound with a perfect voice plus body and hunting ability.j Her owner, Spring Davis, was vastly proud of her and loved her like a child. On any dark, not-too-damp-not-too-dry night he and his son Benjy, with Cal Royster and his oldest son Baker, could be found listening for the sound of the hounds on the trail of a fox. Everything went well until Iacob Terry and his beautiful daughter Camden moved to the old Camden farm, left to him by his late wife. Things began to pop. Terry put up a strong. horse high, woven-wire fence which made hunting dangerous, and Benjy fell in love with Camden. Affairs were an uneasy all right until the disappearance of Bugle Ann while hunting near the Terry farm. This led to unhappiness, misfortune and tragedy to Camden and the Davises until the ghost of Bugle Ann came back and was discovered. Any boy would enjoy the vividly written hunts and any girl the romance with its pathos. Anne Frary '51 OLIVER WISWELL by Kenneth Roberts This book gives the British side of the story of the Revolutionary War. The book is specif- ically the story of Oliver Wiswell, who was driven from his home by his own neighbors, who thought him a Tory. Oliver joined the ranks of the British, not because he was traitor but because he wanted to see his country governed by intelligent men and not by fanatics. Oliver's greatest struggle was to make the British general, Lord Howe, realize how he was losing the war by delaying after each fight with the Rebels. In the battle of New York, Lord Howe had VVashington's troops sadly defeated. They ran from the Redcoats like rabbits in front of hounds. Then at the last minute, when in one sweep Howe could have wiped then out, he called a halt. In every battle, Howe followed the same pattern. Oliver was extremely disgusted with the British, for in that one battle he could have eliminated the entire Rebel army. When the war ended Oliver and his childhood sweetheart journeyed to Nova Scotia with several other families to live and farm. I would recommend this book to everyoneg in fact, I say it is a must in reading. It should be clear that our independence was not won by a band of angels. Kenneth Fraser '50 KNOCK ON ANY DOOR Willard Montley This book is about life and crime in the days of Depression in Chicago. The story is specifically about Nick Romano. an Italian boy. Nick was almost a perfect angel in his childhood: he was an altar boy at church, and once saved a mouse from a cat while a lot of grown people stood around and laughed. Then his father lost his job, and the whole family had to move to a poor section in Chicago. Nick got into bad company and went badfl He never stayed at home because his mother nagged him all the time. He was married but couldn't keep on going with the gang 'i and have a happy home at the same time - he chose to keep going with the 'A gangf' His wife killed herself. He hated the law and anything that stood for it, because when he was in reform school he was treated very badly. He finally kills a man in a robbery and is sentenced to die in the chair. 3 The LAUREL 9 This sort of story is good to read once in a while, but a person should not concentrate on this type, as it gives a very one-sided view of life. This book does prove that in some sections of the United States life is no bed of roses. I recommend it for people who have a broad- minded point of view, David Yost '50 FATHER OF THE BRIDE by Edward Streeter I believe this book was written as satire on the traditions of marriage. It is shown from the father's side, of the bride that is. He is the one who takes his daughter down the aisle, gets shoved around and above all, pays the bills. In this book, when the daughter dropped the bombshell of marriage, the father thought it would be a new dress, a few cocktails, an I do, and his daughter would walk out of his life. But, he found out differently. He had to meet the groom's folks, and after a few cocktails and a lengthy conversation he decides they might be regular. He goes through the buying of clothes for the whole family, the slashing and re-reducing of the guest list. Finally before he realizes it, he is making his way down the aisle, his knees knocking like a skeleton and with his daughter comforting him. Then, there is the reception and his 45 dollar- a-case champagne Howing like water. Finally, after pushing the last guest from the house, he collapses into the nearest chair to view his house in the destruction. It seems the author wrote from experience. His humor is very good, rollicking I' and satirical. Through the satire you can see that really there may be too much to do I' over a marriage, especially for the father of the bridelu Nancy Connors '50 STORM by George Stewart The book in general is about a storm that starts off lapan and its eFfect on people a third of the way around the globe. Using a new style of fiction, the author gives birth to a small unimportant storm off Iapan. He reveals how it affects people in different places at different occupations all at the same time. NVhat happens to all these people are stories in themselves, but because of a thing in common, the storm. A few of these people were the Iunior Meteorologist at California, the CSO at an airport, a telephone lineman, the L. D. at the electric company, and a road superintendent. Each of these has his problems as the storm arrives and departs. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. By the cleverness of the author I was to feel far above the earth observing all these happenings at once. I found the book to be quite educational as well. I would recommend the book to anyone. as it is the work of an artist. Iames Rand '50 THE MARCH OF MUSCOVY by Harold Lamb The March of Muscovy is about the growth of Moscow and the expansion of the Russian Empire. Lamb discusses the inner and outer forces which made the camping place, Moscow, the head of all Russia, Specifically he tells of the Tartar Horsemen, of Ivan the Terrible, of western ambassadors, and of the great migration to Siberia. Lamb writes smoothly with undoubted knowl- edge of his subject, but I feel he tried to cover too big a subject with too few words. He skips from subject to subject in a confusing manner though he does give a good picture of the troubled times from 1400-1648. I enjoyed the book mainly because I came to this conclusion: Russia has not changed her foreign polices, for her dealings were as unor- thodox then as they are now. I would recommend the book to a person interested in early Russia but with this advice: Read at least fifty pages at a time to get a clear picture. Albert Mitchell ,50 MY OWN STORY by Iackie Robinson My Own Story is a true story about Iackie Robinson. It tells of the hardships he had in getting into the Major League, only because he is a Negro. He was the first of his race to get into two Major Leagues. 9 The LAUREL ' One of the most heart-breaking incidents occurred when he played his first organized game with whites. He got up to bat, hit a single, and Finally came home sliding. As the dust cleared, a cop stood over him, grabbed Iackie and said, Get out. We don't want any niggers here. The State of Georgia was the hardest against jackie. But finally, by not giving up or losing his temper, he played and won the hearts of the people in the stands and at home. The author is Iackie himself. He tells this story to a newsreporter. There is no outstanding style, just words easy-to-read. It is a very good book on race hatred and still has exciting parts in sport appeal. I recommend it to anyone who likes at book showing hardship in life. Richard Beedy '51 Verse WINTER SCENE ff Atop the hill there lie the woods, Snow-laden, lone and dark, The slopes are long and gracefully curved- There skiers leave their mark. In spots the winding, frozen brook Lies open like a wound, The breezes play across the snow As if to music tuned. A jagged line the fences form Like pencil strokes of black, In V-shaped pattern up the slope- A boy's lone snowshoe track. The town below is miniature- It is so far awayg The houses look Set out in proud array. like children's blocks Elizabeth Keith '50 2nd Award in Maine Poetry Fellowship Contest for High Schools. WIND MAGIC Outside the wind is howling, The snow blows everywhere, The gale swirls around the corner, It knots and snares my hair. The mound at the left is frightening- It seems a most horrible affair, I look and look and look at it- It looks like a big brown bear! I look away and look again, And all it can do is stare- Up comes the wind and blows it away, And away I Hy without a care Of - - -the whirling wind and the big brown bear. Keith Alexander '51 THE BEAR Large and clumsy grows the bear- For all of this he travels fair. Of tooth and claw he's Fierce and sharp For where he climbs he scars the bark. During the summer's gentle weeks He roams the woods in search of eats. His food is what his fancy likes, For woods are full of bear delights. In winter's frosty time we'll find The bear is warm some rock behind, For bears are wise to winter's ways And don't come out till springy days. Albert Mitchell '50 PIPES Oh, a pipe is a thing that a man can enjoy- A thing that he cherishes and cannot destroy. He'll sit in a chair and he'll smoke all day, And when he is done, he'll not put it away. Now the pipes they all differ very much in their style, For some, men will walk a long weary mile: There's the bright Yellow Bowl, the Imported Brier, The famed Kaywoodie, the Smokernaster's sire. But when all's said and done, the pipes are the same, In spite of loud protest raised by the dame. To men they are neither a pest nor a toy, But they are a thing that a man can enioy. Paul Brinkman '50 0 The LAUREL 0 YOURS April rains are now descending, taking all the snow awayg Flowers will bud and bloom and wither-men will soon cut hay. This is spring, but summerls coming with its long sweet-smelling days, Autumn's just around the corner, radiant to meet our gaze. Only memories will remind us of the summer long ago, As winter comes to cloud that vision, with its blanket of fresh snow. And thus the seasons, never-ending, will begin their course anew, So, as you greet each new tomorrow- Remember, it was made for you. Barbara I. Crosby '52 ACROSS THE IRISH BAY if One summers day in the month of May It came to pass one night, Some goblins came to light and play Beneath the full sunlight. They cussed and cursed but never swore, These goblins that did play, And the clothes they wore were nothing more Than little clumps of hay. They worked all night and then at dawn When the moon began to shine, They stopped their play, this early morn And went to sleep till nine. Now all this nonsense, so 'tis said Continues day to day, With the goblins back of Shann0n's shed, Across the lrish Ray. Galen Sayward '50 if I-Ion.

WHEN MY MAN COMES TO CALL When my man comes to call The family doesn't mind at all, Unless perchance he stays too late- Then he is visited by fate: The master's boot upon his pants Right out the door can make him danceg For fond farewells he has no time, His life just isn't worth a dime, VVhenever he is fondly found Sprawled in a chair and wound around By that sweet apple of his eye. VVho lingeringly says goodbye. No, up he leaps then, least his leave He overstayed beyond reprieve. Io Legere '51 ENGLISH My favorite class is period five, WVhen l am there I feel alive.

Charles Murray '52 Research MAINE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES OPEN TO FARMINGTON STUDENTS Maine has a smaller percentage of its popula- tion attending college than practically any other state-in fact only four other states have records as poor, One reason why this may be true is that many students who desire to attend college haven't the financial means with which to do so. There are scholarships available for those students who lack funds, but many do not know of these, thus the persons for whom these scholarships are intended probably aren't receiv- ing them. 9 The LAUREL 9 What are scholarships? A scholarship is a financial grant which does not involve repayment. There are different kinds of scholarships, the main ones are general, regional and special. Special scholarships are conditioned by stipulations such as religious afhliation, ancestry, or professional intentions. For example, Colby College offers a schol- arship of halfatuition to sons or daughters of Baptist ministers, and at the University of Maine the annual joseph Rider Farrington Schol- arship is offered to 'L direct descendents of Mr. and Mrs. Ioseph Rider Farrington or one whom three of such descendents may select ffirst preferencej. Regional scholarships stip- ulate that the student must come from a certain school or a particular region fgroup of states as The New England States, state or cityj- for example, Bates College offers an annual half- tuition to the high school at Lewiston, Edward Little High School in Auburn and the Maine Central Institute in Pittsheldg and at Colby College there is 'A The Herbert E. Wadsworth Fund to assist students attending Colby College from the town of Winthrop, Maine. The general scholarships are those offered to any deserving and needy student regardless of residence or religion. The scholarships are awarded as a result of competition, which is often based on high school academic achieve- ment, character, leadership, and financial need, and many times on the scores of special tests. For the Farmington student locally there are the Lauriston A. Smith School Fund U, The Perkins Fund U and the 'S Cora B. Cothren Request available at the High School. The Cora B. Cothren Bequest is to provide assistance for some worthy, poor, Christian girl or boy who is striving for an education but unable to meet the entire expense without assistancef, A girl of Farmington High School is given first preference, but it may be given to a boy of Farmington High School, and if there is no such student at the High School, it may he given to two girls attending the Farmington Normal School fnow Farmington State Teachers Collegej. It may be given to the same student until his education is complete, or it may be given to different students as the executors may determine. The executors of this bequest are the principal of Farmington High School, the superintendent of the district and the first assistant at Farmington High School. The Perkins Fund states that the annual income fwhich depends upon the rate of interest for that yearj of this fund shall be divided into two equal parts-to be given as prizes at graduation to the best Greek scholar in the graduating class of Farmington High School and to the best Latin Scholar. The principal of Farmington High School shall decide what students are entitled to these prizes. If there is no one entitled to one or both of these prizes, thirty days after the graduation exercises, the amount shall be paid to the Farmington Public Library Association fto be used as the trustees of the Association may directj. The Lauriston A. Smith Fund 'T states that the bequest be safely invested and of the annual income two-thirds be paid to the member of the graduating class of Farmington High School for that year attaining the best rank in the required studies of the Senior year, and the other third to be paid to the member of the graduating class of that year attaining the second best rank in the required studies for the senior year, It is requested that the selectmen of the town of Farmington place in their town report each year a statement covering the income and disburse- ments of this fund and showing the amount on hand and unexpended. lt also requests that a copy of this bequest shall be made and neatly framed and always kept hanging in a conspic- uous place in the Farmington High School Building, as a memorial of my interest in the welfare of the schoolf' English is the only required subject todayg thus this award is paid to the ones attaining the highest and second highest average for their senior year. A report in the Farmington Town Report of 1948-49 states Lauriston A. Smith School Fund total to be 511,700.00 A picture of Lauriston A. Smith hangs on the wall in the High School Library, but at present there is fto my knowledgej no copy of the bequest hanging in a conspicuous place in the Farming- ton High School Building. There are many scholarships offered by Maine 9 The L. UREL 9 colleges to aid worthy students who otherwise probably would not be able to attend college. Among the scholarships offered by Colby College are Full-tuition Four Year Scholarships 'l open to high school seniors from any school anywhere. The winners are chosen by a committee on their high school record, score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, personal recommendations and an interview with a college officer. The college reserves the right to discontinue the award at the end of any year if the student's work is not of high quality. The L' State of Maine Competitive Schol- arships are open to high-ranking seniors in Maine high schools. The winner of this annual State of Maine Competitive Scholarship contest are awarded a full or half-tuition scholarship for the freshman year. The awards are based on the results of a competitive test, a personal interview, and high school record. Since this scholarship is for the freshman year only one may apply for a General Scholarship M in thc succeeding years. The General Scholarships are open to students who need and deserve aid and whose scholastic average is high-they may be Colby students or prospective Colby students. The award ranges from fifty dollars to full-tuition for the school year. The awards are made by the Committee on Financial Aid, based on qualities of character, scholarship and need. The General Scholarship awards are for one year, so one must renew his application annually if he wishes further aid. Bates College offers L' Eight Full-Tuition Scholarshipsu of 352000 each H5500 for each of four yearsj to freshmen entering in September, 1950. Those students eligible to compete are those who are in the upper seventh of their class, have been recommended by their principal, shall have taken the Scholastic Aptitude Test and certain Achievement Tests of the College En- trance Examination Board on or before March 11, 19503 whose applications for admission and scholarship aid, endorsed by parents, are in file March 1: and have arranged for a personal interview. The winners are chosen on schol- arship, character, personality, promise of leadership and Financial status. Although only one full-tuition award will be made to a given school, the principal may recommend as many students as he desires. The University of Maine also has Freshman Scholarships for 1950-51 offered to encourage and assist promising graduates of Maine high schools to attend the University of Maine, especially those students who would be unable to further their education without financial aid. The awards will be based on scholastic ability, good citizenship, and financial need, obtained from the application filled out hy applicant, recommendations of principal or headmaster and references. Sixty awards will be given in varying amounts up to three hundred dollars fthe tuition charge for one year,-the amount of each award will depend on the Financial needs of the applicant. Among the scholarships offered by Bowdoin College to entering boys of the Freshman Class are State of Maine Scholarships U, Bowdoin Scholarship , Alumni Fund Scholarships fl, and the Iohn Iohnston Scholarship. The Alumni Fund Scholarships 'l consists of twenty scholarships of 15700 offered to entering freshmen regardless of their residence. Winners are chosen on the basis of school record, score on College Entrance Examination Board Scholas- tic Aptitude Test, leadership, character and promise of future success Cas established by recommendationsj. State of Maine Scholarships U consist of four scholarships of 3700 each oHered to entering freshmen who are residents of Maine. Factors taken into consideration in choosing winners are scores on special competitive tests, participa- tion in school activities, character, and indication of success in college. The 'A Iohn Iohnston Scholarship H is a schol- arship of S800 offered to some worthy student from rural Maine ffirst preferencej for whom a college education would he impossible without financial assistance. Bowdoin Scholarships consist of four schol- arships of H700 each offered to entering freshmen who reside outside of Maine. The basis of selection is the same as that for the 'K Alumni Fund Scholarships. As these awards are for the freshman year only, financial assistance after 0 The LAUREL 0 the freshman year is available from the colleges General Scholarship Funds. There are also many scholarships in the form of prizes Csimilar to the Perkins Fund and the L' Lauriston A. Smith School Fund oflered by our schoolj given by colleges-at Bates there is the General Scholarships , which awards six S510 prizes to the highest ranking man and woman in the junior, sophomore and freshman classes: L' English Composition which awards S10 to the member of the Sophomore Class who shows excellence in English compositiong also at the University of Maine The Kidder Schol- arship , which is awarded to a student whose rank excels in his junior year. One who knows he will have to depend upon scholarship aid to continue or further his education, should find out all he can about scholarships offered by the school he is attending or is planning to attendg thus he may try for these and possibly win them. By trying he puts up competition for someone who maybe doesnit 54 deserve it, but because no others try he wins easily. To obtain applications and information about scholarships offered by a college one should write to the Dean of Admissions in the respective colleges. Applications should be neat and either typed or legibly written with blue or black ink. All questions should be answered in some manner-answers should be brief and to the point. If your application is successful in getting you an interview, you should be on time for the appointment and be well-groomed to make a favorable first impression -maintaining good manners always helps.
