Shirley Glidden '53 WHY SH'ULD I GO TO COLLEGE? 4. Why should I go to college? Just think of the money I can earn while some of the other high school graduates are fooling their time away in college, spending a lot of money on nothing. Then, when they get out of college they have t0 go look for a job while I have a job and had it while they were in college. I've been making a lot of money and having good times, while the college students have been studying their heads off in college. Well, perhaps these college students have had to study, while I've had a Job right along, a job that I'm going to get sick of In a few years. Perhaos, that's the way I xl go on through life, getting sick of my jobs though I can t find a better one. That's when I'll see that college comes in aandy after all. Perhaps they aid spend a lot of money going through college and had to study hard, but they have had fun doing so too. Perhaps they did have to look for a Job when they got out of college, but when they did get one it was a better paying job and a lot nicer Job too. I might have gotten a ‘quicker start in life, while the college students were payin0 to get through, but I, as well as anyone else, can plainly see that it pays to go on to college. John Stanley '52 KOREA Fighting? Peace Conference? What is happening in Korea? Or what? You tell me! Can't? Well I'm not surprised because I don't think that anybody really knows what is going on ex°®P those that are over there now, in the midst of It. If we cii probably something could be done aoout it. The Peace Conferences! What ere they amounting to? Not much f d say. Hy opinion, is that toe Communists stalling for time so that they can get more prepared to attacK somewhere else.

He graduated from Yale University, and was an instruc- tor in English at Lawreneeville, Academy, and the University of Chicago. Two of his most interesting novels are, The Bridge of San Luis Rey , and Heaven’s my Destination. Two of his best plays are The Angels that Troubled the Waterfront , and'Our Town. This story, The Woman of Andros , takes place on an is- land in lireeoe. Two men are seated in a tavern, talking in low tones about their children. Simo, a shipbuilder, had a son, whom through custom, Chremes believed should marry his daughter. But Pamphilus, Simo’s son, was interested in a strange woman, Who had come to the island. She v;as very beautiful and spent her nights intertaining the young men of the island, and reading poetry to them. She was called The Women of Andros , and every woman on the island hated her. This woman had a young sister, Glycerium, whom she kept hid from the rest. But one day, Glycerium disobeyed, her sister’s orders, and went for a -walk along the shore. There she met Pamphilus, and they fell madly in love. By the time her sister had decided to let her see the outside world by daylighc, Glycerium had to admit to Chrysis, as the Woman of Andros was called, that she was going to have Pamphilus’s child. Chrysis was dumbfounded but, as she lay on ner dying bed, agreed to let them get married. Yet Pamphilus5s parents would not hear of it, so Glycerium was sent away. A few months later Glycerium’s naid begged Pamphilus’s father to rescue her mistress from being sold as a slave. He did so, and as she was not well, took her into his home. Once they got to know her they grew to love and respect her, but it was too late, because before Pamphilus and Glycerium could get married, Glycerium and her new born baby were dead. TIIE WOMAN OP ANDROS 7. Chrysis«a was the Woman of Andros , who She read Ions poens, and stories to her nany to visit her. When she was about to die, nos to sit by her bedside There were nany tears was very sickly, admirers, who came t of them came shed at her funeral. Pamohilus was the young Greek who fell in love with Clycerium. He was twenty-five years old, and veryhandsone. Pis parents believed that he should marry a certain girl because it had always been taken for granted that he would. Glycerium was Chrysis� s fifteen-year old sister, who was ni V(-avs made to stay in her room, behind locked doors, „o cuat she would he well protected. She was allowed to walk around the shore only by moonlight, when nobody else was about, her ! vas not cruel to her! She loved her so much that she wanted no harm, whatsoever, to come to her. During the story S wSm I� . her roon, ond fell in love with a younE islander. I think this is a very interesting book for any senior high school student to read. It is very easy reading. nn-M-Tr Poirmnnd .

One day ?'r. ' ilson put the tent up for the summer. Jane liked to sleeo in it at night so that da- ■ she asxed Alice to stay ovemight with her.

There is always a smell of McCoy 39 from the exhaust and the conversation is, How fast do you suppose this one will go? One night I 'went to bed with a sound of an airplane engine still in my e?rs, but just the same I fell asleep. Before very long I felt my breath come hard, my ears were buzzing, my head ached, and with one great long step I hopped from my brother's Suoer Clown powered by a Dooling 29 � right on to the noon. The first thing I looked for was a movie theater, for I just love to go to the movies. I soon found out movies were out of date. Instead they bed oocket machines so each could choose his own movie program. These cost quite a bit and to my disgust I discovered I had brought no money with me. This experience made ne feel awfully sick--sc far from home--all alone--no friends. Next, I thought I had better find a first aid station and got a Brono-Seltz.er, so just across on the next roof top I noticed a beautiful hospital. At the front door my fears were ended, for who should I meet but Ortha Colunb, Mary Towle, and Mr. Kaszuba. Ortha was an x-ray technician, Mery was a hair dresser for the natient3; Mr. Kaszuba was teaching badminton, a game. To my amassment, these three Franklin High School friends had joined the VACS and Mr. Kaszuba the CAO. They had boarded the newest rocket plane, The Beast , and bad.come to the moon at the rate of 15 00 miles an hour. I was feeling much better now, not so much alone, and was beginning to got hungry. Then suddenly I could hear mellow tunes of The Tennessee Waltz .

A greet many things kept her in the back part of the house, and when she wes through with then it was quite dsrk. Mr, May was coning down fron his study ready for his six-o'clock dinner. Only when Laddie had been put to bed and she and Mr. May returned to the parlor did she remember her hundred-dollar bill, and hurried to the piano to get it. Oh, dear, how careless I an! she exclrineu. You nay be sure Mr. May agreed with her, especially when they discovered that neither on the niano nor anywhere else could that money be fohnd. They looked everywhere. The front door being fas-- tened,no cne could have got in that way. The nurse was out. Their rood, faithful Matie had not been out of Mrs. May's sight for a moment before dinner. Since Mr. May hinself had not left the parlor, they finally came to the conclusion that Laddie was the guilty one. They questioned hin that night, but he declared ho did not take it. He said his little evening prayer at his mother's knee, and then he went to bed and to sleep and forgot his troubles. In the morning he again told of his innocence. Still as there was no one else to blame, he night hove remained undfer suspicion olweys if it had not been that a few nights after, Mrs. fay was awakened by hearing some one down in the parlor striking a key on the piano. She and her husband got up, and together they went in search of the intruder. Again the search seemed useless to her, but Mr. May,suddenly noticing fragments of pa ,r scattered over the piano-strings, lifted the lid and found the thief. The thief was a Tittle mother-mouse, with a helpless family around her. As part of the nest in which they were cradled, really and truly was that one-hundred-dolla.r bill which Laddie was thought to have taken. Mr. and Mrs. May were very sorry they had suspected their dear little boy end very ha jpy that he was innocent. Sybil Geno '53 Miss Gates: ‘Alfred, how many days ere there in a ycer?'

WHAT RC ZRT FZR-C.’S CALLS PUN One day Robert Perkins and some of his classmates de- cided to climb Mt. Tim. They started one Sunday morning last summer, from Robert's house with Robert's old car. There was four of them in all. It was ten miles from Bob's house to the foot of the mountain. ■ Don't you think that it will rain? asked Jim. You know the top of your car, Bob, isn't too good. Yes, I know, Jim, but I don't believe it will rain this afternoon, answered Bob. Deciding to go, they all jumped into Bob's car and start- ed for the mountain. They were traveling right a.long when Bill asked, You are going oretty fast for'this car aren't you, Bob? it.1 Oh, no, 3ill, my car is o.k., although it doesn't look I don't care, but we are going too fast. If we had a flat tire, we might take the ditch and get hurt, broke in J im. Bmg 1 There I told you, Bob, I told you we would have a flat tire, be are lucky that we didn't get hurt, - xcl dried Bill. Oh, the hole in the road made the tire blow out. It was in good condition. Furthermore that is the only weak s;aot in the car, answered Lob. Have you any snare, Bob? asked Jim. No, but I have a repair kit. We can fix it in no time. Oh, yes, returned Jim, but how are we voing to jack it up to get the wheel off? Oh, you boys can lift it up, and I'll take the wheel off, exclaimed Bob. So you've got it all figured out. ife will do the work and you will do the easiest part. You should do the heavy work and let the rest of us watch you. If you had paid a little attention to us we wouldn't have had the flat, snapped 3111. Finally, after some arguing the boy's lifted the car and Bob took the wheel off. They fixed it and were on 11 their way again. Finally they reached the foot of the moun- tain. When they got almost as far as they could go with the car the engine started to boil. Well, now what will we do. Bob? asked Jim. Someone will hove to walk back to the last house that we passed and get a pail of water, ventured Bob. Bill went after the water. They put it in the car and took the poll back. Soon the boys started climbing the mountain. They 'were air,lost to the top when it began to rain. Oh, whet a day I exclaimed Jim, we had bettor go home. Let's forget about climbing the mountain and go hone. When they arrived at homo Jim said, I am all tired out, and still we didn't get to the top of the mountain. No, but it was fun, answered Bob. Bob, said Bill, maybe it was fun for you but it wasn't for the rest of us. FALL BASEBALL We lost two first string players last graduation, but with the help of our new coach, Mr. Winchell, we managed to win four gomes out of five, losing our home game with Enosburg. The senior high boys who were out for baseball were Harvey Boudreau, Roger Lothian, Bruce Benjamin, John Stanley, Hugh Gates, Edmund Jette, Winston Colur.ib, John Labrie, Felix LeBelle, Walter Barnun, James Benjamin, and Arthur Peaslee.

In some towns they don't believe in initiation,but here in Franklin we may have one or two days that is, if everyone takes part in it. I'm very happy to say that all the freshmen did. On Thursday, September 27 , 1951 the freshman class dressed up as nursery rhyme characters such as Jack and Jill, Mickey and Minnie, Mistress Mary, and so on. Then on the following Friday night the freshmen dressed up to go to the :,Boner's School Room, The girls wore knee- length dresses, with big flashy hair-ribbons. The boys dressed 'Huckleberry Finn1' style. In our Boner School, we were taught English, science, physiology, and music which everyone loved. We also had some fine teachers. Science was taught by Miss 'hite, a teacher who believed in going through your books fast. Mr. Jones taught English, a subject that the boys enjoyed more than the girls. Hist Clark taught physiology. She used such big words you needed a dictionary to look them up. And last but not least came music, which was taught by the beloved Professor Columb. We all loved him because he taught us such good music. He certainly knows his music. Our school finally closed with a poem in which all the freshmen took part. Next, the freshmen went down and formed the receiving line, after which ice cream and cookies were served. Then everyone enjoyed the dance which follov.sd. I'm sure everyone appreciated all the work and time Miss Gates and the sophomre class put into the Freshman Reception to make it successful, for it certainly was.
