Why is Vermont maple syrup being crowded out by that of New York itato and the Province of Quebec? A month ago over television, I saw a sugaring program, stressing ver- strongly that Quebec was the maple sugar land. Why? Take, for oxanplc, the number of sugar places in Franklin that arc being evacuated or cut down. This year in Vormont, 3cnnington County is leading in maplo syrup production. Every year more and more farmers Oithor aro not taking the time to sugar or arc selling the sugar maples for lumber. Northern Now York State also has been crowding us out in the last few years, «ron't the Vermonters proud of their fine maple products? It takes more than a few'hard working farmers to keep Vormont th- leading state in maple products. If wo cut down sugar bushes wo aro destroying more than maple syrup. After a forest has been cut down the wild life is homeless and th re remains no more beautiful scenery. Bare woodlots also mean erosion and loss of soil, alternat- ing with drought. Tho Vormont maple sugar makers could very easily got to- gothcr and receive state aid on the setting out of new maple trocs. The reason most su ar bushes are evacuated is because tho trees are old and run down. Let's keep Vermont ahead. Let's plant more sugar maples and care for thosvj we have. Why give someone else the credit for what should bo ours? Patricia Olnstcad '$6 OUR AMERICA Wo who live on this continent of North America, between the forty-ninth parallel and the Rio Gr-ndc have inherited a land so precious to our for fathers that th y valued it more hignly than th ir own lives. This land of ours is our heri- tage. Nathan Hale di.,d for it, George Washington fought for it, Abraham Lincoln proservodit, countloss young men have 2 e suffered for it, free citizens have enjoyed it, suppressed people have coveted it, and we have inherited it. It is with pride, joy, and affection that we should look over the years of hardship, tears, and glory, and fane« It is to the future we must look with faith and determination, and with a steadfast patriotism and loyalty to our country. If we are to remain free men we must maintain a constant vigil, for in every society there are those people, without morals or standards, who are willing to bleed the society, by any accessible means, for their own benefit. If we want to keep our America and be free men, we must weed out these menaces to society. Wc must be willing to guard our horn land with our liv ..s. When we walk by a flagpole and sco Old Glory waving in the breeze wo must always remember to respect it and what it stands for. I am sure, that in the event of any catastrophe, we, as Americans, will band together and defend our birthright with all our hearts, and I am equally sure that when froomon ore bended together undor ono flag with the determination to remain free, there is no evil in the world, no mutter how strong, that can conquer them. Bruce Corey ’56 m SCHOOL SPIRIT It seems to me that school spirit is one thing that we here at Lranklin are lacking. It is not Just the kids in school that are lacking in this. Me have had some basket- o- l? games M? a winter when I think that there were no more than twenty or twenty-five spectators, counting students. Some of you night say, We: 1 what do you expect? This is just a snaj... town.-1 Yes, the town is small but it isn’t that small, Anotner argument is this, !‘You:re not in the league, so whan; does it amount to? No, we’-re not in the league out there _s a very good reason. Cur hall isn't iargf- gnouffb. This _s a very poor argument also, b:cause we ar« Jti tnf� basehc.il league ami we get evan srs.’.l , jr crowds. Sane people may say that wq play too late, Well, perhaps we uc 't there are still several in the village who could .HlivlAfl 1 come. There are quite a few students who could stay. Mayoa you will say, You aren't supposed to play for the crowd.’• 'Veil, perhaps we’re not, but you feel a lot more like play- ing if there is at least a small crowd. You feel that some- body wants you to win. You .light say, If we go out there we will have to stand up. I think that if we got some lumber we could find enuu h volunteers to build some bleach- ers so that the spectators wouldn't have to stand up. Whenever we have a school function it is always the same ones that attend or donate. Does television keep the others at home? You might say, ’ hat difference does it make? It makes a lot of difference when we are in high school to have our townspeople supjort us. So let's get out and support more of these town cvont3, including school activities. Norman Messier '57 POETRY Lonesome Blues Tonight I'm tired and lonely As I sit here thinking of you - - Wishing I could be near you But knowing it could never be true. I tried so ha -d to give you love And I was not to blame - - - For though my love had no return I loved you just the same - - - 'Tis a long time since school days, When you and I were together; And though you have forgotten me, I love you more than ever. But though I'm melancholy, Lonely, tired and blue, I could be oh, so hapoy With one sweet word from you. Leland West 56 SPRING IS HERE I The baseball team is all in good cheer, Because they know ’twill be a good year. First comes our nitcher, Leland ’'lest; He can throw the very best. Foster Carman, who olays first base, Will meet the runners face to face. On second base is Norman Messier, Who can comoare with Yankee’s Casey. Loren Lothian is our catcher’s name; He adds plenty of pep to any game. With Reggie Corey as our shortstop A grounder seldom is a flop. Lauren Wright is a stand-in for Leland West; 'Tis pitching he does as well as the best. Then comes our outfielder, Little Jim ; His last name is Messier, just full of vim. Another outfielder is Jimmey Wright, Who will grab a ball at any height. We call our substitute catcher Eddy ; His last name is Granger; he’s always ready. Our third outfielder is Lawrence Wright, Who hits that ball with muscle and might. Carol Boudreau on third base olays; He’s very fast on ball relays. Last comes our coach, Mr. Trainor — When we get out of hand he’s a lion tamer. Foster Carman ’56 Teacher to Dennis; wearing lipstick to school: Dennis; whv.r.re you wearing lipstick to school? ■Wei], if I can’t get it one way I’ll get it another. Dennis: The Junior Class Here is a tale of the Junior class, We'll start from the first and go to the last. First there’s Feet in the morning late. Then we know he’s been out on a date. Second comes Monie so ry sweet, Wherever she goes, she’s always neat. Third there’s Chubby who’s quite a man; Except for the girls he’ll always stand. Fourth is Al the studious boy; If he can study he’s full oi joy. Fifth is Jim , the strong and manly, His best friend is a Miss Stanley. Sixth there’s Gar all in a flufry; It’s time for chores and he must hurry. Seventh is Bub -that’s me all right, I hang with the rest, from xaorn till night. Last but not loast comes Horn , the grand, If it’s baseball, he’ll make his stand. Here they are, so v ry swell. Wc g t along together so very well. Now after you’ve read this-stop and think; Tell us you like us; it’ll tickle us pink. ' , • . � Lauren ’' right ’57 THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE We’11 begin with box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxos. The one fowl is gooso but two are called goose, But tho plural of noose should never be meese. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be pen? If tho singular is this and the plural is these Should tho plural of iss be nicknamed keese ? Then one nay be that and three may bo those But hat in the plural would never bo hose. So the English I think you will all agree Is the meat wonderful language you ever did see. From Uni v. of Tt. Bulletin ' Miss-Dewing (in General Science Class): What is the formal for water? Elaine: IJI.TFL■' U Miss Lowing; You k-i-'w better than that. Elaine: You said the formula for water was H20. A MIDSUMMER DAY’S FANCY 6. I look across the meadow and I see The wind blow through the clover, wild and free. Untouched by all but nature is this plain. That from the springtime’s gently failing7rein Emerges with a blosson studded cloak, Broken only by a stately oak. That towering, stands so solemn and supreme, The King of nature's kingdom, 30 serene. This kingdom has no logion3 but the blades That sway beneath the oak’s deep gentle shade. Its people are the acorns all around, Where gentle breezes blew thorn to the ground. The bees that gather nector f]y about Among the blossons, ducking in and out. And as I watch them fly, I realize, - • That in this kingdom roofed by placid skies, ■ Nature and God, unmatched in all their skills, Creators of this blissful realm that fills The dreamer, such 03 I, with joy profound — They have created all: the grass, the ground, The oak tree, and the bees, the clover too, The calm and placid sky of vivid hue. And on this distant hilltop where I lie So comfortably beneath the' summer sky, I'd like to spend my time, until t'-.e day, When Winter snows shell take my realm away. Bruce Corey '56 will :ou mltfS US? Have you noticed the jolly foces, Wandering around in different places? The Seniors are happy because they’re leaving; I'm sure the faculty must be grieving. For some unknown reason they think we've been bad. Our privileges, Miss Gates say., we’ve already had. With us Mr. Trainor is quite disgusted, For oui feeble minds cannot be trusted. IIow Mr3. Clark feds is really a mystery; 10 her we’re no doubt, the worst in all history. On the sophomores and juniors, Miss Dewing debates, But we’re sure she thinks that we have some good traits. Miss Hodgdon hasn’t known us too long; But it didn’t take her long to learn our song. We’re crazy, and stupid—that we know; But won’t you miss us when we go? Arreta Emch ’5b SPRING FEVER - P.H.S. STYLE Wiggle, wiggle, twist and squirm Makes me think of a little worm. It’s very tiresome, I will agree, You’re bad off??? Wont- do you think ’bout me? I Open the windows a-way up high, And tnen all heave a great big sigh. We’re listless, dreamy, and ill at ease; The boys are more inclined to tease. Wo all fool .like skipping school , But linger on and only fool. We’ro waiting for the three o’clock bell, And then wo’ll rush out with a yell. That’s just F.H.S. with its Spring Fever I Suzanne Horskin ’56 SPRINGTIME Tho snow is slowly melting; The birds are coming back; A little bit more sunshine Is all that wc do lack. The flowers will soon bo blooming; Tho buds will be on the trees, Tho boys will bo playing baseball, A.nd the air will hum with boos. As wo sit in tho sc-hoolhouso And wish that it wore -Tunoj, We have to try to do our work; Commencement will bo soon. We hear tho children playing On the teeters and the swings, But wc are always dr- Ming ’Bout vacation and such things. Ramona Magnant ’57 STORIES 3 A TERRIFYING NIGHT One day in April, a new family moved into the town of Willmar. Their names were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hanna. Mr. Hanna worked in a real estste office. They had only one child whose name was Jimmie. He was only eight years old. The Hannas were always having company and going out in the evening to dances end dinner parties, leaving little Jimmie at home alone. They never hired 8 baby sitter, as they thought it foolish. Jimmie was a lonesome boy, who never had any fun with his folks. His father was gone all day at the office. His mother worked afternoons as a waitress in a drug store. Jimmie didn't like the idea of being left alone at night. Ko was scared of the dark and wjp afraid to tell his folks as they would Wninlc him a coward. The Hannas, one particular night, were invited to a dinner party about thirty-five miles out of town. They were to leave a e 6:00 P. M. da arp. It happened that they w re suoposed to teke another couple with them. They invited their next door neighbors. This left Jimmie alone without any nearby neigh'’ors. The nearest lived about hclf a mile away. As the Hannas and their invited guests left, the wind began to Mow. Jimmie had been told by hi3 folks that they would be homo no later than 11:30 P.M. Jimmie decided to read o while until his favorite program came on television. As time passed on Jimmie begen to realize it was getting nearly 11:14-5 P.M. and the wind was blowing even herder now. It had already done some damage to the house and if it continued to blow harder it would do even more. Jimmie knew he should stay up to wait for his folks, but if he did he would be punished for staying up so late. He knew it wasn't safe to go upstairs to bed when the wind was blowing so hard, but he did anyway. It was about 12:30 A.M. when the smoko woke Jimmie up. Ho opened his bedroom door and saw the flames coming up the hall. He quickly shut his door. He w-s terrified! There was no way to escape. He kept thinking if only his mother snd 9 father wore there If only they would come. It was past tho time they said they would be home. He tried to think of a way to escape. There was none except to jump from his bedroom window. He was afraid to do this because he know ho would certainly get hurt. But, if he stayed in his room he would get burned to death. Which was best? He decided he would have to make his mind up quickly. Finally he decided that ho must jump - to safety, maybe 1 His folks,upon returning home,found their house in flames and began searching for little Jimmie. They found him lying unconscious below his bedroom window. Without taking time to call the fire department they rushed Jimmie to the hospital where the doctors discovered that he had a broken back. His father and mother vowed then, that if he pulled through, they would never again leave little Jimmie at home alone. They had learned th ir lesson the hard way with the loss of their house and tfimmio in the hospital with a broken back. Dorcas Riley 56 THE WORST THING THnT EVER HAPPENED TO ME I was crusing along at 150 miles per hour and enjoying the Vermont scenery from the air. On oith r side of me tho silver wings if my new airplane stretched out in the breeze. I sat there daydreaming and then thump I Something struck my windshiold. There was a largo cr ck in the windshield and the plane began to shudder violently. Then, in a moment of intense fear, I realized that tho worst experience that qould happen to n pilot had happened to me i The propeller had shattered and v ould soon shake tho ship apart if I didn't do something. If I had brought a parachute I could have jumped, but I had to sit tight and ride this one out. I pulled back on the throttle and the ship settled down a little, but I had to set it down somewhere. I.scanned the horizon and I could see only trees all around. The.propeller began to fly apart and I had to shut off the motor. Now I had to set the plane down. There was no hope of getting out of this crash. I togan losing altitude and the ground loomed up before me� I hit tho ground with a crash and blacked out. 10 r Tho next thing I he rd was soneone far away calling, Bruce, wake upj I reoognized the voice as ny father’s, so I got out of bed, dressed and went to tho barn. Bruce Corey ’56 THE UNFAIR GRUDGE V John Nils n and Alan Young grew up together in the sane town of Boynton. Alan had an identical twin brother, Alton. However, John was an only child and conplctcly spoiled. When the boys entered high school Alan started going with Roxio Snith, a cute, black haired, black eyed freshnan. Soon John also decided that he wanted to go v ith Roxic Snith, a cute black haired, block eyed, freshnan. Soon John also decided that h , wanted to go with Roxie and since he had all the spending noney he wanted and a car of his own to drive she broke off with Alan and started going steady with John, John and Roxie continued to go steady all through high school. When the Young twins graduated they both joined the Navy. John entered a nearby college the next fall. He and Roxie becano engaged and planned to bo narried tho following June. Then Alan and Alton cane hone on leave. Not too long after this, Roxie broke off with John, who immediately left college to persuade her to na.rry hin right off. Ho failed and when he learned who had taken her away fron he was crazy with jealousy. He saw Roxie with a boy in the novies one night and recognized hin to be Alan Young. John left town the next day, so that he wouldn’t have to face the huniliation of knowing that Alan had taken Roxio away fron hin, tho great John Wilson. He novod to New York City and began work in a newspaper office. He liked his job,'but every tine he thought of Alan’s and Roxie� s going together, ho hated Alan nor and norc. Thui a new girl called Diana Winters started to work in tho offico. John started taking her out, and soon found he was in love with her. Now ho realized that ho had novor really loved Roxie. When he and Diana wore narried John decided to tako his bride back to Boynton on the honoynoon. They stayed with his folks and John got tho surpriso of his life when he discovered who their neighbors were. Roxie and Alan lived next door, or so he thought until he and Diana called on her the next day. VJhen he asked how Alan was she replied, Fine, I guess, but I’d rather tclk about Alton. 11 John was amazed and asked what she meant by that. Then she asked if he didn't know that 3ha and Alton hod been married for over e year. John was speechless, for he realized what c foolish grudge ho had been carrying. Sandro Beniamin ’56 THE VISIT 0? .,UNT I hiTILDA As I was on the way to open up my filling station I stopped in at the Post Office to got my mail. In the mail was c letter from ny Aunt Matilda who lives on a back farm in the country. She had hoard about my buying a filling station ana v« s coming to help me with this new businos3 of mine. As she was coming in on the early train I had to close my busy station soon enough to meet her train. I didn't mind, because I figured it wouldn't take long and besides I hadn't s on her for s long tirao. As I pulled into the station I sew her thoro struggling with her clothes. On the farm she had worn shirts and dungrreos so much that she wasn't at all confortnblo wearing a dress. She told me 3ho couldn't find a place for it on the train and almost put her dungar os beck on. As she got into my c r she tripped ovur the skirt and fell into a puddlo.' She was about five minutes getting cleaned up and into the car, and I wanted to open my filling station. ’Veil, she finally did naku it after shutting her skirt in the door. I told her to op n the door to free her skirt, but she said it would stay put bettor there. After gutting to the filling station Matilda ran streight home to put on her dungarees and to help me. Since I was rather busy I thought I would have her oump the gas whilo I greased errs. As I was finishing my first car I hoard a. customer screeching something, so I immediately ran out to sec what the trouble was. When I got thcr I found Matilda hod poured some water in the gas tank end was filling the radiator with gasoline; In about two hours I had the man calmed down, car fixed, and Matilda tra.incd to pump gas and fill radiators correctly. I want back to greasing cars and was about half w. y through my second one when Matilda cane in and told jus that c nan had drivun up and 3aid to check his oil, but when she asked him whore ho kept it ho had been peeved and had taken off. Right then I decided to do everything myself and let Matilda watch. Then she started asking questions. First she wntod to know why I h d r. big bath tub in the 12 middle of the floor.
