Maxine Webber '47 Class Editor FRESHMAN CLASS Our class began with fifty-five mem- bers this year but twelve of this num- ber have left school. Some joined thc armed forces, some moved away and others took up different jobs. Our basketball members are Jerry McCoubrey, Keith Miller, Kenneth Wilson, William Lunt, George Lowell, Grenny Hudson, Luella Libby, Pauline Litchfield, Patricia Bernard, Janice Capen, and Laura Winslow. Pauline Litchfield represents us in the Student Council. Jerry McCoubrey and Keith Miller two of our best athletes have recently moved away. Jerry has gone to Mary- land, and Keith has gone to Bath, Mc As usual the Freshman class wan pushed around a great deal at the be- ginning of the year, but now we art really quite well established, and we intend to keep right on the job. We have not as yet elected our of- ficers because there were many new students whom we had not come to know well and we thought that it wat only fair to wait until we were well acquainted with each other. Our class also sponsored a social at the beginning of the year. Barbara Williams has not been ab- sent or tardy this year. Kenneth Wilson '48 Class Editor SOPHOMORE CLASS Front Row: J. Blanchard, E.

EDITCDRIALS HSEBAGO DIARY This document is the personal di- ary of three Freeport High School students, who were missing for a week in the wilds of the Sebago Lake region. The participants of this experiencc and likewise, co-authors are: Ken Warner, Bill Dunning, and Art Ken- dall. Feb. 18, 1945. 10:15 We left Freeport, accompan- ied by Mr. and Mrs. Warner and Ken's sister and brother, bound for an isc lated camp in the wilds of Raymond Cape on Sebago Lake. 10245 Stopped at Yarmouth and purchased 17 pungent smelling smelt' for bait, for the outrageous price c 35 cents. 12:00 Stopped by drifts 2 miles from camp, we continued the trek on snowshoes Qsnow 4 ft. in driftsl. 1:00 Reached Warner's camp. 2:00-3:00 Lunch prepared by Mrs. Warner Cveal chops, sandwiches, tea and cheese. 4:30 Ken's folks returned to Free- port, leaving the three adventurers to their doubtful fate. 4:30-6:00 Snowshoed out to see Image Rocks and Hawthorne's Cave COld Nat used to write in therel Snow 1 ft. deep on ice and ice about 1 1l2 ft. thick. 6:00-6:30 Supper prepared by our cook, Art Kendall.

February 19, 1945. 3:00 A .M. Dunning awoke grip- ped by pangs of hunger and the in- tense cold. Starts a fire and causes e- nough commotion to wake up an army. This has a surprising effect on Art and Ken. Art entertains with groans and imitations, while Ken throws shoes and all other available objects. Dun- ning peacefully continues to play an- cient records on the victrola and daint- ily sips cocoa until 4:00 A. M., when he is finally overpowered by two grog- gy figures, and chained to his cot. The three cots were huddled around the kitchen range. 4:00 A. M. Back to peaceful slum- ber. CBRRRRRHJ 5:45 Bill awoke the household screaming to go fishing, 6:00 Art Kendall brewed break- fast, fbacon, cheese, omelet, toast, co- coa.J 7:10 Went down to lake and set out four lines near the point, too cold to stay, 7 below zero. 8:10 Stumbled into camp in a half frozen stupor, everyone caked with frost. ' 8:30-9:00 Art and Ken thawed out on stove while Bill, the staff artist sketched the camp. 9:10 Dunning went to check lines THE CLARION 21 9:30 Dunning returned, no fish fnaturallyj. 10:20 Ken went to tend lines,- no fish: explored for wild game. 11-1:00 Snowshoed out to where our lines were frozen in the ice, pulled them up with no fish. Warner claimed he heard a wild cat factually the snow plowj. 1 :00 Returned to camp, rebuilt fire and had lunch of chicken noodle soup, hamburgers and onions, and last but not least, cheese!!! 1:45 Art Kendall plodded to shore to get water, he returned bearing news of big game. The three hunters rushed mad- ly into the woods in search of this game, only to see a cooney rabbit's tail vanish down in a hole. The dis- appointed hunters shuffled back to camp after expanding 19 shells each on unliving targets. 3:00-5:30 Went cusk fishing thru ice at tip of Frye's Island, no luck. 5:30 Loafed and thawed out. 7:00 Art mixed up supper of spam, beans, spinach, cheese. 8:00-11:00 Played cards and lis- tened to victrola, then off to a full night's sleep. COh, Brother! IJ February 20, 1945 2:23 A. M. A half frozen Dunn- ing staggered to rebuild fire. 2:30-8:20 Peaceful slumber- QBRRRR! lj 8:20 Warner awoke mob rattling stove and building fire. 9:00-10:30 Breakfast prepared by Art Kendall of hard boiled eggs Csup- posed to be softj toast, bacon, and cheese. 10:30 Dunning elected Cforced by knives and gunj to go to South Casco for provisions. 11:00-12:00 Warner and Kendall replenished supply of wood, and re- turned to find they had been locked out, but entered by jimmying the back window. 12200 Art Kendall shoveled a path to road. 1:00 Art and Ken met Bill at Lamb's Beach, staggering with a 50 pound pack on his back. 1:30 Arrived at camp to find to our great pecuniary, the contents of Bill's pack, he went after cocoa and cheese, but returned with one can of clams, two cans of orange juice, one pound of coffee, six turnovers, three pounds hot dogs, five bottles of soda- pop, one can of chocolate syrup, nine oranges, 1l2 dozen eggs, a stiff back and a broken constitution. P. S. He for- got the cheese. 2:00 Ate lunch of beans, hot dogs, tarts and cheese. 3:00-3:15 Repaired snow shoes and prepared for fishing expedition. 3:20 Snowshoed to tip of Frye's Island to fish cusk. We set out seven lines baited with strips of smelt and built a fire in an emergency fisher- man's shack. We caught four nice cusk, largest 20 inches, 2 1l4 pounds. 7:30 Returned home to find fire out. 8:30 Supper prepared by Art, veg. soup, fried clams, toast, turnovers, cheese. 9:00-11:00 Ken Warner cleaned cusk, Art and Bill took lesson on clean- ing fish.

We chopped seven holes in the ice and set out our lines. Ken pulled in the first cusk, screaming with de- light. We got eight cusk in three hours. The biggest was 22 inches and 3 112 pounds. 2:00 Tired of pulling in cusk, we decided to go to Camp Cove pickerel fishing. After a 4 mile hike we chop- ped 3 holes in the ice and set out lines, but had no luck, resolved to stick to cusk fishing. Cusk are better than pickerel anyway. 6:20 Back at camp with 8 cusk, no pickerel. 6:30 Art prepared supper, cusk chowder and cheese. 7:00-8:40 Warner and Kendall cleaned cusk, while Dunning went to lug water. Dunning claimed he was followed by a bear. 9:35 Retired. February 22, 1945 8:45 Awoke to the sound of rain beating on the roof. Breakfast prepar- ed by our Waldorf Chef Art Kendall. fried eggs, hot dogs, coffee, cheese. 9:30 Packed our fishing lines and bait, pouring cats and dogs. The mer- cury stood at a miraculous 39 degrees. 12:30 Trudged to Frye's Island in pouring rain. CWhy not, we were ex- pendablej or foolish? ? 1:00 Reached our destination and set out 10 lines. Art started fire in an emergency shelter fhouse about size of Smelting shantyj We were reward- ed with a catch of 5 cusk, and drench- ed to the skin.

Our food sup- ply had dimished so we were forced to return to the civilized world. 7:00-9:00 We all pitched in and cleaned up and washed dishes. Ken cleaned 5 cusk. One of the cusk was the biggest yet caught, 26 inches and 4 pounds pulled in by our cook, Art Kendall. 9:00 We retired for the night- the last night of this wonderful seclu- sion and peace of Sebago Lake. Our total catch of cusk for this trip was 17, shared equally among us with no arguments. C2 black eyes, 3 bruises dealt out by A. Kendallj . Feb. 23, 1945. 8:20 Warner roused the mob grumbling to go home. 8:30 After locking camp, We started for South Casco, a small town 5 1l2 miles from the camp. This is where we got the bus for Portland. 10:20 Arrived at South Casco and just in time. The bus came in two min- utes. 10:22 The bus screeched to a halt on the icy road to pick up what look- ed like the half dead survivors of an arctic expedition, and we left th-e pleasant little community of South Casco, Goodbye Sebago!!! 12:30 Freeport welcomed us with a band at the station. fShanty Town Triol Note to Reader: A trip of this sort is guaranteed to cure ailments of anyukind.

We are ifghting for what many boys have giv- cn their lives for: freedom, liberty, and lasting peace for the entire world. Since Pearl Harbor, boys have been leaving their homes and loved ones to protect our country and all the good things they believe in. They have been fighting in foreign countries and is- lands and places that many of them have never heard of before. We at home must do our best to help the war effort and bring peace to the world as soon as possible. There is much to do and we can help by buy- ing as many bonds as we can. We want our country andthe .other countries of the world to have a peace that will last after this war, a safe and free country for our children and the generations after them, so they will not have to go to war in the years to come. Our late president, Franklin Dela- no Roosevelt, gave his efforts and his life in helping fight for the things we love, and for the peace to come. He served his country for over twelve years. Though practically a cripple, he gave his best for the United States of America. We now have a new presi- dent, Harry S. Truman, and we should stand back of him and all work hard for Victory. Let's all hope and pray that it will come soon so that we may have our loved ones home once more with us. AJC '45 SF HF 41 To Those Who Would Have Gradua- ted: It isn't fair to have this issue of the Clarion published without mentioning those who would be graduating if they had not heard their country's call to arms and are now fighting for Uncle Sam in all corners of the world. They gave up their schooling so we back here could live in peace and keep on with the duties at F. H. S.. It would be hard to imagine what those boys have gone through. Boys, as young as they, giving up all the 24 p THE CLARION conveniences America has to offer them for a fox hole in the South Paci- fic. Ask them what they are fighting for, they would mention a number of different things but all for the same great cause. So to Leslie Robertson and George Thompson, our gallant Marines, Bur- ton Merryman, Clarence Libby and Neal Day, the boys in Khaki, Frank Cogswell, Phillip Willett, the Navy gobs and William Doughty, Victor De- Bree, our fighting Merchant Marine, We the class of '45 salute you. Our only regret is that you won't be there to receive your diplomas along with your classmates. You are working and fighting for a much larger goal than we and so once again we salute you, you who would have graduated with us but put your country first. We're proud of you, everyone. -HD '45 PF Pk DF 214 A PRISONER'S SONG I sit alone in the darkness of these Cold barracks somewhere in Germany. I think of my past and my family and friends. My life was carefree and happy Until the dark cloud of war came And I was called to serve my country. We fought, we of the 160th Infantry, In the dead of winter, on the Cold soil of Belgium, for many an endless night, Then came the end, we shall fight 'Til the end came to plea. My comrades were killed and wound- ed, But myself and others were Marched to these cold barracks, And left to starve.

'46 ar wr if 4: SPORTS AND THE WAR During this war many men have become heroes. It is interesing to note that 90 percent of these men entered into sports when they went to school. Many of them were athletes in college. But all admit that their athletic work helped them on the battlefield. Many of them can cite certain instances when their athletic ability saved their lives, and the lives of others. There was the Marine sergeant on Saipan, who unarmed, met a Jap soldier face to face. Undaunted, he scooped up a rock and hit the Jap square between the eyes. He played baseball in his college days. Thenthere was the Army private who was standing in front of a communications post on the front lines in Germany. A hand grenade was thrown at the post. As if by magic his life flashed back. Again he was the centerfield on the high school team. He leaped high, caught the grenade, and threw it back! Another case of sports training saving lives. Another reason Why sports training is valuable is that it teaches men to think and act quickly. On the battle' field, where split second decisions have to be made, such training is in- valuable. And usually the sports work develops not only the mind but also the body. ' Most of the American soldiers are stronger now than the American sold- iers were in 1918, because sports are more engaged in now than they were then. All this should present a strong ar- gument in favor of sports in American high schools and colleges-Freeport take note!! J.W.'47 xxx: EGYPT AND THE WAR Four years ago, the main wealth of Egypt was dependent on its agricul- tural products. This is because there are about seven million acres that arc cultivated in the Nile Valley. The country has centered all its attention on irrigating them and in raising them. When the present war broke out, transportation of goods by sea became an- impossibility. It was necessary, therefore, to produce their own man- ufactured goods. Fifteen years ago cotton factories were started. To these are now added innumerable others for the production of necessary articles. In this way many idle hands have found useful work to do. The increase of workmen has been so great that in one factory where there were six thousand workmen, there are now twenty-six thousand. Besides, the English and American Armies in Egypt have been obligated to start factories for repair work. E- gyptians are employed there and their work is very successful. Our government is turning its at- tention to the water falls at Faiyum and Aswan Dam to produce' electricity. Another great project is metals from the desert near the Red Sea. 26 THE CLARION Egypt will aid industry a great deal in these war days and in post war days to come. M. B.

We have tests over that period of work which counts one- third of our rank. Our daily rank counts two thirds. The teachers have meetings to dis- cuss any difficulties which may arise, regarding our progress in work, com- paring our work in different classes, and ways of helping the problem stu- dent. Our cards are the folder type. The left side shows the subjects taken and the ranks giveng the right side has comments which indicate our effort, ability, and behavior.

Felton Pervier '47 LITERARY LIFE OF HANDEL One of the most celebrated and be- loved composers of all times is George Friedrick Handel, born in Halle, Ger- many, 1685. He was born the son of a doctor who was prejudiced to his inclination and strong desire to be a musician, but his mother readily acquiesced to his fan- cies. While at a chapel service, when only seven years of age, he heard and was entranced by the Duke's great organ and satisfied his curiosity that night by creeping stealthily to the chapel and playing upon it which re- sulted in the awakening of all the household. The Duke praised his per- formance asserting that the boy should be tutored. After this inci- dent Handel no longer practiced in his father's absence for his father gave his approbation to a musical career. In the succeeding years he toiled re- solutely not only at his studies but also at a position in an orchestra to support his widowed mother and family. From these earnings he saved enough to go to Italy to complete his studies. At the age of twenty he wrote his first composition and thereafter ac- quired fame throughout Italy and then England. He became very attached to England and never returned to his job in Germany. But great men who try to give the world some masterpiece of art have many admirers likewise have ma- ny enemies who are so blindly jealous that they endeavor to plow them un- der. Such was the way with Handel and he suffered storm after storm of public ridicule by his critics for twen- ty long years before he recovered his footing and attempted to compose a- gain. The age old maxim every cloud has a silver lining became veritable for Handel because after twenty years of heart aches and sorrow he recover- ed his fame and wrote some of his most dearly cherished works among which is The Messiah known by al- most everyone. In 1751, however, he was stricken with the first symptoms of blindness. Nevertheless he completed the com- position he was on. His last appear- ance at the organ was at a representa- tion of The Messiah . Then came on total blindness and finally death. When he was rapidly failing, he ex- pressed a desire to die on Good Friday and rise on Easter morning to meet his Saviour. Records show that he died on Saturday following Good Friday. He was buried in Westminister Abbey as he had often wished to be. This is the life and death of George Friedrick Handel whose music will live in the hearts of mankind forever. Maxine Webber '47 214 HK Pk if MY FATHER'S CAR Once my pa bought a Model T Which really was a sight to see Now in painting he possessed quite a knack, So he painted it a shiny black. The tires on it were really quite bad, But they were the best that he had. One Sunday we started out on a trip, We really thought the car was a pip. 28 THE CLARION My pa and ma and sis were in front, And they looked like they were doing a stunt. My aunt, my sister and I were in the back, So you can imagine the tires were slack. We all were so happy as we sailed long, But in a little while we were singing a different song. First a hind tire went off with a bang, My pa got so mad that he could hang. He just got that fixed when the motor stopped, My ma got so mad she began to hog We finally got it running but it sound ed blue, And we were altogether, a rather mel- ancholy crew. Then it started getting dark so pa turned on the light, But lo and behold they Weren't Very bright. I guess the battery wasn't very good Because you could hardly see pastthc hood. When we reached home we were all very glad But you can bet my pa was mad. He got up early the next day and wen' into town, To see if he could track that man down. He sold the car to some old guy, And I also imagine he told plenty of lies. But he didn't care, because he had got gyppedl And it Wouldn't hurt somebody else if they got nipped. Frances Estabrook '47 Pk PF H4 Pk NOT A GHOST OF A CHANCE One summer evening, Lucy, Anna, Tom and Jerry decided to go for a walk. They walked up the country road for about fifteen minutes until they came to a graveyard. It was an awfully spooky looking place with the moon shining on the gravestoneis, casting shadows all around. Suddenly they saw a tomb for burial vaultj and believe it or not, the door was partly open. They decided to go in and see what was inside. When they got there Jerry kept daring Tom to go inside, until Tom decided to satisfy his chum's daring remarks. After entering and before he could count ten, the door was shut behind him. Jerry, not realiz- ing the danger, had shut the door of the tomb, thinking he could frighten Tom into screaming and then he would open the door and let him out. But Jerry's joke wasn't so funny. They couldn't open the door again. There was poor Tom all alone and he would soon suffocate. Jerry, Lucy and Anna terrified, hurried off to the nearest house to get help. They were so fright- ened that they could hardly run. In the meantime Tom was strugg- ling to get out. It was so dark in the tomb that he couldn't see anything. He felt around for the door but could- THE CLARION 29 n't find it. Then he began to scream and call for his friends, but could hear no answer. He then gave up and sat down and cried. Later, all of a sudden he looked up and saw a light coming towards him in the darkness. He clung to the seat on which he was sitting. He was hor- rified, because coming toward him was a bloody ghost!! Tom edged back and the ghost said, Don't be fright- ened little boy. I'm not going to hurt you,-now. Tom couldn't say a word. He just stared at the ghost. Come with me, said the ghost. I want to show you something. Tom didn't budge, so the ghost grabbed him by the arm and then pushed him through dark passages all lined with caskets and mummies. Tom shuddered and pulled his jacket up around his neck. Soon they came to a small dark room. The ghost opened the squeaking door and they both entered, followed by a couple more ghosts which had been following them for about two minutes. When they got inside Tom saw all sorts of caskets and tables and queer looking apparatus that he had never seen before in his wildest dreams. It was an awfully creepy looking place with hardly any light at all and the weird objects in the room made Tom more frightened than ever. He started to leave and just as he got to the door, one ghost yanked him back by the col- lar of his jacket. Not so fast, said he, where do you think you're go- ing? I want to go home, pleaded Tom. The ghost laughed. I don't think you'll be going home-ever! Tom was speechless. Not going home -ever! For heavens sake, what were they going to do with him? ? He just could- n't understand what it was all about. Just then the first ghost said, Now Ithink we're all ready to begin. What are you going to do to me? asked Tom. Well, said the ghost, We're going to experiment with you. What do you mean 'experiment'? asked Tom. We're going to inject some of this liquid into you and see if you become a ghost just like us. Ev- ery night we go out in the graveyard and when people Walk by, we grab them and drag them inside this tomb, into and then we inject some of this them and they become ghosts, or All whatever we Want them to be. those mummies and caskets that you this saw while you were coming to room are all of our experiments. Then Tom remembered hearing peo- ple talk about the strange disappear- ance of some of the townspeople dur- ing the last five years or so. . Well, said one ghost, let's go. He started towards Tom. Tom started to run for the door, but found it guard- ed by another ghost. He ran all around the room, bumping into tables and ev- erything, with the ghosts after him. He screamed, but it naturally did him no good. Then he fell on the floor be- cause he was so exhausted, and the ghost caught him and picked him up, putting him on the table near-by. Tom kicked and wiggled and squirmed, but it was of no use. They were tying him down with mummy-cloth. One ghost took a six-inch long, slender, liquid-filled needle and leaned over Tom. Tom tried to scream, but noth- ing would come out but whispers. He fainted and one of the ghosts grabbed his arm and started shaking him. He opened his eyes and there was Lucy, Anna, Jerry and Mr. Hanley. 30 THE CLARION Where did you come from? asked Tom, looking around him. And where did the ghosts go to? There aren't any ghosts, said Lucy. Ghosts are just a superstition. But there is, too, said Tom. He was going to stick a needle in me that was about a yard longff You've been dreaming, said Anna. We just got here in time, said Mr. Hanley. That air in here would have got the best of him in a- bout five minutes. We thought he wouldn't have a 'ghost of a chance', said Jerry. And I thought I was go- ing to have some fun and play a good joke on Tom. I won't ever do any- thing like that again! So they all took Toni home and he soon complete- ly recovered from his ghostly shock. The children vowed they would never go for a walk near that graveyard a- gain.

'46 ilk!!! THE ,ELIZABETHAN THEATRE The Elizabethan theatres were very different from our theatres today. They had none of the modern lighting facilities which make our plays so much more beautiful. Women were not allowed to act on the stage and all women's parts were taken by young men. There were little or no proper- ties or scenery. A chair or bench and other pieces of furniture that were needed in the play had to provide both scenery and setting. Today we do our best to make the stage look as nearly like the real thing as possible. Modern theatre seats are placed in fairly regular rows and are offered to rich and poor alike. In the Elizabethan theatre, groundlings were forced to stand on the ground in front of the stage throughout the performance. The best seats were in the galleries where the merchants and gentry sat. Over the stage was the lord's room and here the aristocrats sat. The young gallants of the period occupied the front of the stage throughout the play, strutting up and down and showing off in a manner which an- noyed the actors. Even the stage itself was differ- ent from the stages of today. The out- er stage was divided into three parts. Behind this, separated from it by a curtain, was the inner stage. Here such scenes as the witches' cavern in Macbeth were presented. Over this was a tower from which a flag was raised when the play was about to begin. Even with all the 'inconveniences of the old theatres, drama ruled the day. Not only professionals, but also scholars and courtiers tried their hands at writing plays. They were as popular then as the movies are today and were enjoyed by rich and poor a- like. This was the real beginning of our modern drama and, although we have a great advantage over the E- lizabethan times, some of their plays are still being presented today as great writings. R. W.

There Francie Nolan battled her way to young wo- manhood. Her father, an amiable man, was addicted to drink. Her moth- er fed her children on bread pudding, Shakespeare, and the Bible.

'47 lk ik 4' 'F THE DOOMED ANGLER A furious storm had driven the lone sportsman, occupant of a flimsey rowboat, onto the shore of that deso- late island. While trying to head home from his unsuccessful fishing trip, his boat had been dashed against rocks near the island, leaving a gaping hole in the bulkhead. The island was un- inhabited except for a deserted man- sion enshrouded in an entanglement of wild grape vines, blackberry bush- es, and towering oaks and pines. Colonel Forbes had first landed there many years ago while being pursued by a band of Indians across the lake. He liked the island so well that he purchased the thousand acres and built his home there. Thus it was named Forbes Island. - It was now dusk and the dejected fisherman had no Way to return to the mainland, eight miles away. He was therefore forced to spend the night on this dreary, desolate, seldom visited is- land. All he had for provisions was the remainder of his picnic lunch and a few damp matches. He could barely see the steeples of the old mansion jut- ting skyward through the heavy mist that was gradually setting in. He start- ed in the 'general direction and at length arrived at his destination. He cautiously tip-toed up the creaky wooden steps to the big front door. As he opened the door an evil looking bat flew out, barely refraining from en- tangling his hair. He continued to en- ter, however. After -lighting a match, he was 'confrontedby grotesque cob- webs drapedhinsanely over the once beautiful furniture, panels, and ceil- ings. He thought back upon the grand- eur, which must have existed when the colonel and his family lived there. Their only contact with the outer world had been by boat. The legend, of which the unfortun- ate angler was unaware, was that all of the Colonel's family had died strangely that very night a hundred years before, of a very rare, unknown disease that ran in the family-all, that is, except one son who at the time was in town getting provisions. The youth heard of the tragedy and never returned, but his grandson is still liv- ing-somewhere. The visitor wandered aimlessly a- bout the house, up and down the stairs. He found some ancient candles which he lit and explored every nook and cranny, chest and drawer. Coming across the Colonel's diary he began to read it with great zeal. i y THE CLARION 33 He made himself comfortable on a pink plush couch. Covering it with his fishing jacket, and using a candle for light, he began to read. In about an hour he began to feel strangely drowsy and weak. His hands became boney and shriveled. He stum- bled to the mirror and saw his sallow, pale, hideously twisted Visage. His arms and legs began to ache unbear- ably. It flashed across his mind what he had read in the Colonel's diary, Not feeling well tonight, tired, weak arms and legs lame, face pale-- Strangeiv There the entry had stopped. He felt excruciating pain in every bone and muscle in his body. The pain gradually died away, he felt weaker-weaker-. The book was hazy before his eyes. He faded into a deep, deep slumber, never to waken. You see, his name was Ralph Forbes. K. W. '45 HF 41 41 Bk CONTRASTING BRITISH AND AMERICAN PROSE Naturally, everyone sticks up for his country, whether its about food, enter- tainment, climate or anything, includ- ing its authors, prose and poetry writ- ten by them. So, of course, I prefer reading American literature to that of England. Not casting any redections on Eng- land's masterpieces and great poets, but in my estimation American liter- ature can be understood thoroughly by the average high school student and, I shall admit, some of England's aren't so clear. It is said that England writes about love of country to a great extent, to be sure it's true, but we are no exception. We have more to write about, of course, our mountains, prairies, sunny California, snow of New England, great metropolis of New York, the beautiful scenery of the South, rail- roads winding their way around moun- tains, across rivers and lakes and plains of the Middle West, and a mil- lion and one different subjects. To me it is a great understatement to say that England is more, shall we say, patri- otic to her writings. In our poems we read about snow, rivers, cities, foliage, etc., in short sto- ries of Indians, cowboys, radio stars, gangsters, dumb animals, and now of course, majority of them pertain to war--Marines on Tarawa and Iwo Jima, B-29's based in Marianas: Army in Germany, and Navy in both oceans. Naturally our boys wouldn't be over there if it wasn't love of country so our authors, too, dwell on it. I seemed to have wandered away from what I began with, but as you can plainly see, give me American authors any day to English.
