THE QUILL 9 Then I saw Aeneas. He was dressed all in scarlet and his hair was long and streamed down his back. Over his clothes were gold ornaments that glittered. He seemed to bow before me and as he disappeared, it seemed I heard him say, L'Dido . Only that. Next I saw a pine, straight and lonely. It seemed to he weeping. Tiny drops dripped from the limhs, That, I thought, must he the Lonesome Pinc. Finally the tree disappeared, and a heautif ful dancer followed. I saw her move grace' fully into a dance, her scarlet draperies floating around her. Soon I found myself looking at a Held of slender corn, Tiny black and red hirds flutf tered overhead. Then it wasn't corn hut a mass of men moving on light feet. I could see their spears and shiny swords. Gradually they marched from sight. Then I saw joan of Arc. She was lashed to a streak of light and the hot flames were leaping upward. Suddenly, a crash. I sat up with a jump. The fire had hurncd low. My pictures had called the curtain. This is a very amusing pastime. Try it sometime and see how many fire pictures are in your fireplace. glsouise Oliver, '41

THE QUILL 11 NOVEMBER 8. The Collins Festival gave in assembly a short preview of the first of their series of entertainments. OCTOBER 14. Miss Grace Phelan showed us some real typing. Miss Phelan is one of the fastest amateur typists in the world. NOVEMBER 6. Mr. W. A. NVheeler gave us an interesting talk on railroads and their value. The chairman of the Student Council com' mittees took charge of assembly one morning, each one giving a short speech on the duties of his respective committee. DECEMBER 13. The annual Athletic Fair was held with much success and pleasure. Two onefact plays were presented by members of the Dramatic Club, after which a dance was held in the gym and candy and cold drinks were sold at the booths. JANUARY 30, Each member of the cast of the Dramatic Club play was introduced, and a few short previews were given. We were especially favored by having a swing orchestri, made up largely of high school students, entertain us in assembly. The orchestra is led by Earland Welch and directed by James Desmond. CLUB MINSTREL FEBRUARY 27 AND 28. The seventh annual minstrel show under the direction of Mr. David Kelley and Mr. Hinds was a great success. The setting this year was a court' room with the endmen, Thomas Kelley, James Desmond, Charles Mooradian, Robert Leavitt, Arthur Fossett, and Robert Demers, acting as policemen. The interlocutor, in the part of judge, was Mr. Hinds. BAND The band, under the direction of Mr. Kelley, had an eventful year. At almost every football game the band appeared, acf companied by eight clever drumfmajorettes and the cheerleaders. The band also enterf tained us in assembly.

Medals were given to Margaret Dan' forth and James Desmond in the school conf test. Margaret Danforth was chosen to rep' resent Gardiner High School in the prelim' inary of the Lydia Spear Contest at Winslow on April 4. REMEMBRANCE Lest we forget those who have come and gone, and one in particular who served so long and faithfully and gave so unstintingly of her' self to the profession, let us call to mind some of our former teachers and friends. Mr. Cooper, who from 1936 to 1940 taught general mathematics and served four success' ful years as coach, is now at Bar Harbor, where he is still carrying on in the same conf scientious manner and doing a fine job. Miss Plaisted, the very efficient teacher of typewriting and stenography from 1927 to 1940, has transferred her talents from the teaching profession to the medical. She is now office manager at the Dr. R. D. Simons Memorial Clinic, where she is happy in her work and a popular member of the organization. Mr. Connors, the manual training teacher, resigned to take up the same type of work at Lewiston. He was a well liked and very eifif cient teacher at Gardiner High School from 1937 to 1941 and also successful as coach of the boys' Junior High basketball team.
