N the soft twilight hour before the night does fall, skylines show clear f' 3 lgiff large when seen in this lurid light. Many years it has stood and yet FOREWORD H ' and sharp and seem to call. Here stands a hill not large by day, only iii 'Sli' ' , remains unchanged in shape and size the only change is splendor and that comes with years. It would say to all, Be patient. Hereiiis a tree, tall and straight, found on the seal of our own dear state. The lesson it teaches is simplicity. To the south is a line, low and long, monotonous indeed for a skyline, the ocean, but 'tis a symbol of strength and courage. Toward the north a tower is seen. Long after all others are hid in the night, this tower stands forth, seems giving off light. 'Tis the first in the morning to receive the sun and the last at night to give up refiection. 'Tis the symbol of faith, 'tis the kirk of Christ, it stands for love and self-sacrifice. What is more worthy a teacher to have than faith in this Christ, the lover of all. May the memory of the skylines on the campus ever call to noble living, to higher service. I - 1 i 4 L E19-G0I2,H-Jllvl?

The church tower, the dorm, and the school, Where each in its turn will teach us To live by the golden rule. In one's school days the skylines seem distant Away in the far-off blue, And yet as we grow toward manhood They'll seem to be closer in view. These skylines, what are they to you? Will they help in your search for the best? Or are they hazy, dim outlines That will hinder your 1ife's biggest quest? To me these skylines mean something, They're life and they're beckoning to you. They lead or mislead mankind always, It's his work to find what is the true. LOUISE WILLEY ,WW 1 --- Q jL19f'vG6i2Ji31rf Noii,rfALf35L M-J f ly 5 125' f , fp.

Q-44 H ww- -if, . . if Life is full of alternations of winning and losing. He who wins and yet feels sympathy for his defeated competitor and he who loses and yet knows he has striven his best, finds both victory and defeat but stepping-stones to worthier con- tests and nobler achievements. A good sportsman will not allow himself to enter into an unworthy contest the outcome of which may bring harm to any member of the group of which he is a part. On the other hand he will not refuse to enter into a contest that is for the good of the group because it is hard or for fear it will bring unpopularity to himself. The Gorham Normal School expects the members of the class of 1928 to be good sportsmen in the highest connotation of that term. VVALTER EARLE RUSSELL. Louis Ruivrox XVoonwAR1i Gcncral Science.

MESSAGE OF THE ADVANCED SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT When we reached our high school graduation we were at the place where many people regard their education completed. We did not so decide but instead determined to push on and become better fitted for our chosen work. As that chosen work was teaching, we soon found ourselves booked for a course in Gor- ham Normal School. During the first year the subjects were the same as those in the general course. Our second year added Economics and a study of Introduction to Education. The third year offered a choice in courses, English, History, Mathematics and Lan- guages. This year has been a most interesting one. We strongly advise all who wish to teach in higher grades to take the three-year course. We are hoping that before long we may come back for a fourth year and a degree given at Gorham Normal School. Classmates for three years, we have shared together our work and our play. Soon each one must test his individual knowledge and power in a place waiting for him to fill. Let us each go out to this new experience with an honest determina- tion to do our best. May G. N. S. hear only commendation of the first students graduated from its advanced course. FANNY IYIARGARET CALIENDO.

Observe first the Great VVall of China standing out as a sky line along its borders. Consider the dikes of Holland and the forbidding Wall-surrounded castles of the middle ages. Examine our own huge dams, continually bear- ing witness to increasing engineering skill. In contrast to these huge barriers note the miniature walls or fences, such as stone, wooden, iron, brick, and cement, many times more popular and numerous in number. What was their need? China constructed her wall to keep out a world of foreign progress, so dearly did she pay reverence to her forefathers. The Dutch constructed their sea walls solely for protection against incoming Waterg the medieval knight, against menacing peoples. The dams within our own borders, which stand out as a mark of prosperity, were purposed for the conservation of power. just as there were historic barriers for protection and later those which indicated prosperity and power within, so are there mental barriers. History is but a stirring illustration of it. The true educator is the one who recognizing power within is able to cope with difficulties outside of his own immediate field, to break down mental fences and branch out into larger territories of thought. In every instance l30l l is ' e A i H H IIIQWGORIMFE lYf0.I2.IVf'fII.rZ6.25 1 J QF,-s that one finds the educator earning his title to greatness, one may also find him recognizing the value, during his earlier stages of development, of the barriers for protection. i Fences of the mental type are necessary during the early periods of one's career. This is no sign they will be always. There is a grave possibility of their proving handicaps, causing permanent ruts from which there is mentally no escape. It has been said that civilization of man is but the overcoming of fear and as he has overcome fear so has he acquired habits. As habits grew attention was gradually rendered unnecessary, until finally it dropped out entirely. Herein lies the danger. Habit once formed has no Way of being modified unless in some way attention is called to it, for a habit left to itself becomes more and more Hrmly fixed. Our habits need to be progressive, they need to grow, to be modified, to be improved. Otherwise they will become an encrusting shell, fixed and unyielding, which will limit our growth. It is necessary, then, to keep our habitual acts under inspection, to feel the need of being inventive, to find out better ways of doing things. Test for elasticity the mental fences of an independent thinker. If they have hardened they will soon become brittle, shattering upon further use. Their former guiding power will then have vanished. Much that we enjoy today in advanced educational procedure is due to the courageous adventuring of such men as Henry Barnard and Horace Mann. The mere mention of such names as these causes us to remember that the frontiers of learning have never been extended without some daring, that if these frontiers had been allowed to remain the same, they would have circum- scribed learning, making it impossible of access or escape-a China of the past. Good habits, you may challenge, are necessary. Yes, therefore keep your good mental fences. Keep them as our American westerner keeps his line fences on his vast ranges, with, at the ends of his parallel lines no enclos- ing'fence, but unlimited freedom still for growth. I FRANcEs W.

THE MEN I KNOW This I'll say for the men I know: Most of them work for their daily bread: Most of them follow the path I tread, XVhether in places high or low. Most of them cherish the Hag o'er-headg Most of them, eager for wealth or fame, Seem to he proud of their family name. Some of them strong and some of them weak, Some of them hitter at times, in woe, But this I'll say for the men I know: Rare indeed is the mental freak VVho would order and decency overthrow, Clever or dull or frail or strong, Most of them shudder at doing Wrong. This I'll say for the men I know: Most of them want to he clean and true, In spite of the selfish things they dog Most of them try, as they come and go, To have some glory for men to view, A few turn traitor to God and State, But most of the men I know walk straight.

RANDALL l90l ij ii jjisseoafffinewonzrntwzall I Il In every profession, in every walk of life, we find skylines. There is a tall spire, reaching to the stars, someone whose great genius has carried him up, up into the heights. There is a high, level outline representing several lives whose talents were given in the service of one another, and in the end they have been rewarded by equal success. Look! here is a slender, graceful tree silhouetted against the sunset sky. It is a poetic, dreamy one, neither strong nor powerful, but it adds delicate loveliness to the entire picture. What a contrast are the tall, rugged masses near it! These are leaders, beckoning to the ones below. Yet below the line where earth meets sky lies a vast, black hulk. It is un- distinguished by any peculiar form. lt is the major part of the whole. These lives are holding up, filling in, providing a steady place on which the greater ones may stand secure. They are doing their duties without expectation of renown or prominence. Where would the leaders, the geniuses, the dreamers, the great ones be, with- out the steady, dependable support of the self-effacing group who just miss great- ness? Who would do the monotonous or the uninteresting everyday work, with its petty, annoying details and discouraging moments, that must be done if the world and the education of the world are to progress? As life has its skyline, so has the profession of teaching. We may not all be seen and marked in that skyline. Only a few can hope to have anything to do with the molding of its gracious curves, its strong, straight levels, its delicate tracery or its cloud-topped spires. But everyone of us can be sure that its foundation and framework is firm and rests on the best principles and ideals. Each one of us can be certain that it is not through our loss of faith, disillusionment, selfishness, or neglect that there are loopholes for decay, empty spaces for ruin to creep in, or a chance for that tottering that leads to downfall. And in the end, who shall say who played the greater part in this magnificent skyline, he who shaped the skyline or he who was of the unsung multitude just below? Both are of equal importance in forming a truthful, lasting, glorious sky- line of a noble profession, teaching. It is always interesting to note how very many members of the Gorham Nor- mal School Alumni have held or are holding positions of prominence, both in the Field of teaching and in other professions. The following are the names of a few of those graduates of Gorham who are helping or have helped to shape the skyline Clara M.

But when- I blend with wordly cares, My back bent o'er my every wheel, And count each minute,-fruit, Ripened for my duties' seal, When no hour too long, nor task too drawn, But my patience will fairly deal,- Then I with God do harmonize.

Since then it has been one of the most successful dramas in the repertoires of many American stars, chief among them being Mary Anderson and Julia Marlowe.

' p SETTING The scene is in Gaul, a century after the foundation of Massilia. PLOT ' The story is a romantic tale of the love of Ingomar, the barbarian, for the Greek girl, Parthenia. Parthenia, at home, has just rejected the rich Polydor's suit, much to 'her mother's disgust, when Lykon comes in telling of Myron's capture by a band of the Alemanni. Parthenia appeals to the citizens and to the Timarch for help, but to no avail. Finally she decides to rescue him herself. Next we see her in the rough Alemanni camp where she has given herself up as hostage for her father in order that he may go back to work out his ransom. The idea is not well received by the tribe, who see their booty disappearing, but Ingomar accepts the offer, fascinated by the girlls brave spirit. The members of the tribe growl considerably as they notice their chief enjoying the girl's company. The fact that he acts as her protector and forsakes his usual pleasures almost breaks up the band. And then, to cap the climax, when it comes time for Parthenia to return, Ingomar goes as her guide, pleads his love for her, and offers to become a citizen of Massilia. . The people of Massilia, especially Actea, distrust the barbaria11's motives. Polydor tries to force his hand. The Timarch tries to bribe Ingomar and so cap- ture the tribe. But through his nobility of character the barbarian finally wins the love of Parthenia and we leave him a newly appointed Timarch over the now peace- ful Alemanni. l99l 19 ,G129E,EQINfJIND WHQITEUZ6 I I l9 vGOR,Hzf1lVf NUIMALWZGV .,F, 7,,, I YMCA -0 . v V ' Sli' 1 M - as HR M 25933353 an me x jqfilijilymj - - 2 gm- NM ., IUGNSZZMAUI A l1o11 19mG1lIi,EIXfJ1I ID WHT TEK26 N W lClJI'l'0RlAl.

C. A. ACTIVITIES, 1927-28 The Y. W. C. A. began another busy year with meeting the new students of Gorham Normal at the trains and cars, showing them to their rooms, and discussing with them the attractions of the campus and buildings. In general, the purpose was to make their first day at school a cheerful one. In the evening the usual get- together party took place in the gymnasium where fun was had by everyone. At this party, get-acquainted games were played, stunts performed, and dancing en'o ed. J 3I3'riday night, September twenty-three, a formal reception was held in the gymnasium. At this time the new students met the members of the faculty and were welcomed by the Y. W. officers, by the new Dean, Miss Lillian Boyden, and by Mr. Russell. After the addresses a short entertainment was given, followed by dancing. l1041 l I fiamaoaffarr NORFFALWZO li 5 Soon the Association turned its attention to the drive for membership. This resulted in a membership of one hundred and Hfty-three. On October twenty was held the Recognition Service, probably the prettiest and most impressive of all the year. About seventy-five new members were received into the fellowship of the Organization. The Thursday night meetings this year have been both interesting and helpful. Many of them have been in the form of discussions with everyone who wished tak- ing part. Questions of interest to every girl away at school were considered. The World Fellowship Committee has been responsible for obtaining some very interesting outside speakers. These include: Miss Margaret Blaine, Student Volunteer Secretary, Miss 'Louise Perry, Missionary to Japan, from Hallowell, Maine, Miss Lubelle Patrick, Representative from Maine Chi1dren's Heart Work Society 5 Mrs. John Thompson, President of Portland Y. W. C. A. The work of this organization also requires money. This year, in place of the Washington Party, a Valentine Party was held in the gymnasium. There were stunts to perform and those who manifested the greatest ability received prizes. A short entertainment, during the serving of refreshments, followed by dancing, completed an enjoyable evening. There was no annual Christmas Fair but in its place a Minstrel, Entertain- ment, Frills and Frolics was put on in the Junior High School Auditorium, March 23rd. This was in cabaret style with the colored waiters as end men, and the guests as the chorus. This program was of course varied. FRILLS AND FROLICS Given by Y. W. C. A.

THE FOUR WINDS CAMPFIRE The organization, the Four XVinds Campfire, is both new and unique. lt is new not only because of its recent organization in the school, but also because it is the first of its kind in the state and in the East at large. It is unique in its purpose, that of training a group who have never before been Campnre Girls in the spirit of the association, so that when they become teachers they may be ready to act guardians. The Four VVinds Training group grew out of the association of a few girls of the Congrega- tional Sunday Sehool with Miss Charlotte Millett. As guardian of the Gorham Campfires, Miss Mil- lett has made those organizations and the spirit of the Maine girls nationally known. Through her enthusiastic remarks upon the splendid influence and purpose of such an association, the girls began to feel a keen desire to participate in the work. l As a result of her helpful co-operation and will- ingness to act as guardian, the decision was made to form a training course. Mr. Russell's permis- sion having been obtained, a charter from head- quarters was the next step. The group is chartered as the Four YVinds, a name litly chosen, since the members come from the four winds and after graduation will scatter to the four corners of the state and possibly the country. The charter members are ten in number, a small group purposely to avoid the confusion of large numbers until the club has become fixed in its plans. The meetings are held the hrst and third Mondays of every month, each one having some definite step ad- vanced in the training. The officers of this first group are as follows: President, Frances llrowng vice-president, Kathleen Frederick: secretary-treasurer, Mary Scribner: and count keeper, Pearl Decrow.

Already the members feel they have made a clefinite gain in getting the spirit of the whole association. that of making girlhoocl a purer and more useful period of life. Moreover, these few menilmers have acquired a wisdom to take with them as fu- ture teachers in leading young people happily into the right path. It is sincerely ho ed that the Four Winds may continue to he a permanent organization in Gorham or- nlal School.

The attempt to organize such a group was undertaken this year. Mr. Andrew Solandt, Secretary of the County Young Men's Christian Association spoke to a group of young men during the winter. He told of the benefits and opportunities derived from Christian Association. The next week saw the beginning of such an organization. At this time the officers were elected and the name Young Menls Christian Association of Gorham Normal School was accepted. The membership is open to all men of the Normal School. The purpose of this association shall be to stimulate a Normal School fellowship among Christian young men and to furnish physically, mentally and mor- ally, where possible, helpful leadership. The next meeting saw the beginning of the constitution. There have been several meetings since, among which was a social evening in the gymnasium. The association has had a short life but is looking forward to a long eventful and successful one. l1081 I --. I . .

' The co-operation of the students with the House Committee has helped a great deal this year in realizing the general purpose of Student Government, government of the students by the students. It has also made it easier for the House Commit- tee to carry on its regular duties, such as giving out the mail, ringing the bells, tak- ing charge of house lights and fire drills. The first fire drill was held on October 17th. Many of the girls had expected it for several days and had wasted much energy in getting ready for it. Changes in some of the rules were suggested by the House Committee and adopted by vote of the student council. These changes have proved satisfactory. In November, the House Committee voted to put a closed box in the Center in which the students were free to place any questions or suggestions about the running of the house. These were discussed in open meeting. The House Committee answered the questions and, as far as they were able, carried out the suggestions. During the year the House Committee gave several parties among which were those for Hallowe'en and Christmas. The H3llOWC,C11 party was held in the gym as usual and proved to be a delightful affair. The gym was appropriately decorated with orange and black streamers, cornstocks and pumpkins. All who attended were requested to wear old clothes as the usual Hallowefen stunts were in order. A ghost Walk led by Al Quimby was one of the features of the evening. After everyone had tried his best to accomplish all the stunts, refreshments were served. The party came to a close with social dancing. The Christmas party was held in the dining-room. Each table group had been made responsible for the decorating of its own table. As a result, the tables were uniquely, as well as prettily, decorated. On entering the dining-room, every- one made a tour of inspection before sitting down. Perry was Santa and cer- tainly proved to be Santa in the true sense of the word, for he had some remem- brance for one and all. These were distributed by his helpers who accompanied him. At 9.30, a group of carolers, carrying lighted candles, visited Mr. Russell and left a Christmas plant. They then returned to the Center where a Pajama Party took place. Each Hoor was required to put on a stunt. These stunts, such as operations, pantomimes, and automobiles provided much entertainment especially Henry's Clara Hobo, the following account of which appeared in current news: THE CENTIPEDE OF FOURTH FLOOR, EAST A performance featuring the largest centipede in captivity was the original stunt that the girls of fourth floor, east, put on at the Christmas party. Clara Hobo, the centipede, was a striking figure with her hideous, painted face, hot-dog tail, and coat of vari-colored Indian blankets. This coat, as Miss Ryan would tell you, was for protection. It kept the barbarians of the far east from devouring her. Clara gaily tripped the light, fantastic toe-one hundred and ninety toes, to be exact- until a draught through the room made her utter two thunderous sneezes. Clara's Hindu trainer urged her to do her daily dozen to avoid catching cold, but impudent Clara merely counted to twelve. She gave as her reason that she in- tended to do no more strenuous exercise until she had been fed. At this the trainer lost all patience and between loud crackings of George Hicks' whip, poor Clara was roundly scolded. moi 2 I J l9aCi'C9l2.H1HlT CNURITALNZU Y 3 , a .l LE. . Centipedes may turn, as well as worms. Clara turned. She uttered a roar of defiance and charged. When last seen, she was hard on-the heels of her trainer who was fleeing for his life. The party ended with the singing of carols around a Christmas Tree, placed in the center of the room. Before saying good-night, the House Committee author- ized room parties to last one hour after the carol singing. We were asked before we went home for Christmas vacation to bring back with us a gift that we didn't have any use for, but one that someone else might like. In other words, we were to bring back a white elephant. The Friday night after we returned, a White Elephant party was held in the Center. Gifts were exchanged until everyone was perfectly satisfied. Then Frances Sherry and Elizabeth Nason, dressed as a White Elephant, came in and performed for us. Those Floors which had not put on their stunts at the Christmas party gave them at this time and furnished a lot of amusement. Appropriate refreshments of peanuts were served. ' At the end of the first semester, the outgoing House Committee gave a party to the new House Committee. It was held in the dining-room and each House Committee member had as her guest the girl who was to take her place. Our matron, Miss Ina Wooclward, should be mentioned at this time because she gave us a pleasant surprise in the form of a special supper. Miss Woodward helped us a great deal with all our parties and we wish to express to her our appreciation. After our supper, we all proceeded to Miss Boyden's 'office where a mock House Committee meeting was held for the benefit of the new members. This proved to be exceedingly amusing. As students of Gorham Normal School, we wish to express to Miss Lillian Boyden our appreciation of the help and advice that have largely made student government a success this year. Miss Boyden has shown that she is highly qual- ified for the position as Dean because of her tact, sympathy, and understanding. lllll ,. .. . -.-,,...,.. .... ,..,......-.,, ,1.,,.. .., ,.-L ......i.-1-.l, ,.i...-.lx l l iid iii' ' l , if iliaeaatzmiitn Warrffzaji Dorothy Abrams Ruth Ahlquist Jeanette Bailey Marion Boutin Eva Bradford Frances Brown Louise Brown Winifred Burkett Albert Clish Pearl Decrow ART CLUB OFFICERS Left fo right: G.

Batik-dyed kerchiefs: tooled, beaded and woven purses, sketches and pictures done in charcoal, pencil, ink, watercolors, and oil were among the articles exhibited. Under new by-laws such an exhibition is to be held every two months. A week later, the club settled down to real work. Since members wished to follow four ditterent lines of study, the club was divided into four groups, with Miss Dowling helping wherever she was needed. One group was interested in Batik work, another in basketry, a third in gessocraft and a fourth in leather tool- ing. Later many members took up charcoal sketching. On March 20th, the club was reorganized into groups for basketry. leather work, charcoal sketchings, and block printing. A great deal is accomplished both at and between meetings which are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month in the Fine Arts room. fllfll 1 , 5 ll i I IQWGURIMIT uoazrnlfgsl l A of 1 DRAMATIC CLUB OFFICERS Left to riylzt: D.

The aim of this club is to promote the'use of higher mathematics in our everyday life. The meetings are held each month on the second and fourth Mondays, in the mathematics room of Corthell Hall. At each meeting, after the business session a social hour is observed which in some way is put to the use of promotion ot mathematics. Miss Fowler has been the facility adviser and she has proved to be very helpful. 11141 l 5 l iaweaamfirf IBf0l2,lTfILeZ8'l f OUTDOOR CLUB Left to l'1'gl'1f.' H. Smith, C. Owen, M. Goldthwaite.

Its membership at present is one hundred and fifty. The Hy-Laws of the club require each member to walk six hours every week. This accounts for its wide-awake officers and healthy members. Hiking is one of the best forms of recreation. After a three-mile jaunt to Fort Hill, all were ready for a good baked bean supper. A snowshoe hike was also enjoyed this winter. Although many of the enthusiasts took unexpected tumbles, all returned in gay spirits and whole anatomies. The hike to West Gor- ham was made memorable by the dash up to the village emporium and the conse- quent indulgence in sweets of assorted varieties. The roll was called one wintry day 'way out in Gorham Fair Grounds. Those grounds never witnessed a more enthusiastic crowd. This time there was no loitering by the wayg as soon as the roll had been called, all immediately sped oft for warmer haunts. No man is in true health who cannot stand in the free air of heaven, with his feet on Gocl's free turf , and thank his Creator for the simple luxury of physical existence. -Higginson. f1151 I l 4 . .-----.W I C I i l ' A ox.: I I l9iTGlREliN7 fflNDllfH9lfTL .

VVC tried to show our loyalty to our state by doing something special for the Bridgewater boys when they played here. This year has proved to be a great success and we hope the club will continue to grow and prosper. l1181 I M912-iiiiifiilgqlrr N012,ITALeQ6ll if J i ll l YORK COUNTY CLUB OFFICERS Left fo righl: L.

The York County Club was organized in the fall of 1926. The club this year is a large one, having nearly forty members. The purpose of this club is to secure interest in school life and to promote good fellowship among the students from York County. Any person who has lived in the county during the last two years may become a member. Meetings are held the second and fourth Monday even- ings of each month in Robie Hall Library. Miss Elitabeth Cleary, a new member of our faculty, was elected our adviser for this year. In October the club gave a supper to its members. Interest in basketball was aroused by a challenge from the Oxford County Club to a game in which we were defeated, 29-27. In a re- turn game, however, we were victorious, 18-17. fllfll ,----..--W .

The activities of the club consist of contests with other county clubs and occasionally parties within its own club. The contests so far have been basketball games and debates. The par- ties have been held in East Hall dining-room and, less formally, at Alden's Pond. Each year the club has been entertained at Mr. Russell's home where Miss Stone told some of the incidents of her summer trips to Europe. l120j L V , H YV YA., g-ii. i-19fSif?PffPfflVf .UQB1lff.4,L f3?

Its main purpose during this year has been to have get-togethery' meetings for sociability and entertainment. Its members have been systematically executive and active in service and in pleasure. The membership has increased and the meetings have been well attended. Among its social events have been a fruit salad supper and a cobweb party. The purpose was to plan an Evening in the Center to include not only its own members but all students of the halls and town. VVhile the resident members have found pleasure in its social gatherings, it has not been unmindful of its absent members. May the club continue to grow and serve as a social center for those members who come from that part of our state.

Mr. Stanley Libby was elected president and has done much toward building a Hrm foundation for the club. On December ninth the club members enjoyed a Christmas party in the Cen- ter. The room was attractively decorated in red and green with a large Christmas Tree occupying one corner and ladened with presents. Mr. Libby played the role of Santa Claus and bestowed a gift typical of the season upon each member. Ev- eryone will remember dancing by candlelight and the mad scramble for wraps while Normal Hill was still in darkness. The club has done much to develop the element of friendliness, kindness, good fellowship, and school spirit, not only among the commuters but reaching out to the other students of G. N. S. It has made school life at Gorham for the com- muters rlcher and worthier and the graduating members hope to find its strength increasing with every passing year.

These aims being firmly fixed in the minds of the members, each is trying earnestly to carry these out and to be a help to the group of which he is a part. On February 11, 1928, a variety play was given in the junior High School Auditorium. the proceeds of which are to go to an accident fund to benefit all the male students of Gorham Normal School injured on the Campus. This fund is to be known as the Lambda Pi Sigma Accident Fund of the Gorham Normal School. The club intends to give an annual play for the purpose of enlarging this fund. Mr. Lawrence N.

The prize consisted of the three-volume set of Birds of Massachusetts and the Other New England States, by Edward Howe Forbush. The second prize was awarded to Morrell Edgerly and consisted of Massinghanfs Poems about Birds from the Middle Ages to the Present Day. These prizes were given by Mr. W. P. F. Robie of Gorham in his endeavor to promote interest in bird con- servation in the State of Maine. 0 JANUARY 1, 1928 In the january number of The Bulletin of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, there appeared the following article, entitled, Birds in a Normal Schoolf' BIRDS IN A NORMAL SCHOOL A most interesting publication is the GREEN AND WHITE, the work of the 1927 Senior Class of the Gorham, Maine, Normal School, in that it shows how well equipped to teach bird study are the graduates of this school. It is a book of over two hundred pages, beautifully bound and illustrated and replete with information about the school and the classes, especially that of 1927. The theme of this year's publication is The Bird, to which twenty-five pages are devoted. The 1927 staff has endeavored to recall in pen and pencil something of bird life which it has taken on as a distinctive feature, not only at the school, but in the town. The school wishes to do all in its power to increase interest in and protection of bird life. The first step is knowledge, secured through personal observation and research. And the many essays deal, in the main, with personal observation of birds and the best methods of studying and protecting them. There are essays on feeding-stations, migrations, bird architects, Roosevelt and his relation to birds, the cat question, bird songs in words and music, a bird cross-word puzzle and many others. Very interesting is the story of the Narrangansett Bird Sanctuary, established in Gorham through the efforts of Mr. W. P. F. Robie. Mr. Robie is the only son of the late Hon. Frederick Robie, who was Governor of Maine from 1883 to 1887 and is well remembered in Gorham for many important public gifts. The Sanc- tuary contains 3600 acres, and besides being a boon to the local birds and bird lovers it has great educational value because of its proximity to the Normal School and the especial interest taken in it by students and teachers at that institution. Be- cause of it the graduates of the Gorham Normal School go forth especially equipped to teach bird study and through it nature study, a most desirable accomplishment in the equipment of any teacher. Mr. Robie is a valued member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society. FEBRUARY 1, 1928 On February 1st, it was announced in the bird study classes that Mr. W. P. F. Robie of Gorham was offering three prizes to the members of the junior class. The requirements of the contest were: C11 the recognition of 75 birds, C23 the es- tablishment and maintenance of one regular feeding-station, C3j the writing of an article on the Conservation of Wild Birdsfl The first prize consisted of a pair of Mirakel Binoculars: the second of two years' subscription to Bird Lore 3 and the third of one year's subscription to Bird Lore. With such an incentive it is not surprising that a great deal of interest is dis- played in bird study. f1261 t-.ill V- ? '? ' Y' 'T 1 'A I i ,519-aontmrf nfoarfnt-252 I 1 4.4 MARCH 9, 1928 In response to an inquiry from the Stanton Bird Club, Bates College, concern- ing the GREEN AND VVIIITE, '27, a copy of that volume was forwarded to the club. In the letter acknowledging the book, the writer said, It shows a splendid class spirit, and, back of that, the institution that gave the class its ideals 'F 4' 'lf What an inspiration to the study of birds your students have in the splendid gift of Mr. Robie! Our sanctuary, Thorncrag, is very tiny indeed beside yours but we know, already, that its influence is felt in the community. APRIL 5, 1928 At the present time, April 5th, our fifty birds have been reported by members of the bird study classes. The list includes the English sparrow, tree sparrow, song sparrow, fox sparrow, starling, crow, rusty blackbird, bronzed grackle, red- winged blackbird, meadowlark, black-capped chickadee, junico, robin, bluebird, pine grosbeak, evening grosbeak, doming woodpecker, boring woodpecker, arctic three-toed woodpecker, pluker, white-breasted nuthatch, phoebe, pine siskin, Amer- ican herring gull, snow bunting, pheasant, bald eagle, black duck, golden-eyed duck. mallard duck, redpoll, marsh hawk, goldlinch, cowbird, purple finch, arctic owl, brown creeper, partridge, woodcock, Canada goose, tufted titmouse, cedar natwings, winter wren, golden-crowned kinglet, horned lark, saw-whet owl, blue-jay,, north- ern shrike, old-squaw, and goshawk. With the exception of five these birds have been seen in Gorham or vicinity. The mockingbird was reported near Morning and V esper Streets, Portland: the evening grosbeaks at Wiscasset and Waldoborog the old-squaw at Rockland 5 the Arctic three-toed woodpecker at Falmouthg and the winter wren at Westbrook. NATURE STUDY Agriculture, one of the studies for the junior class at Gorham Normal School! Of all impossible things. I fully understood, or thought I did, what all the other studies would be like, but that was beyond me. In high school the boys learned all about cows and horses, also how to separate and test milk. Was I to learn things like that? What good would it do me, as a teacher? I was readily pre- pared for a boresome period of fifty minutes for two days each week. Did you ever make a ludicrous mistake, one which you could easily laugh at forever after? Well, I did when I so rated agriculture for it is one of the most interesting sub- jects that I have, and the Fifty minutes pass all too quickly. The principal aim of the course in agriculture, or better known as nature study, is to encourage teachers to use things of everyday life as a source of instruc- tion. rather than taking things beyond the realm of the younger pupils. VV e have studied along this line. We have learned all about the animals of the field, wood- chucks, skunks, muskrats, and so on. Their habits and ways of living are just twice as interesting as one would expect them to be. Another interesting study has been to learn all about the horse. Beginning with that period when he was known as Eohippus, only eleven inches high, we have traced his growth and improvement until we have the horse of today standing before us. VVhat child has not seen a horse? Then what could be more interesting than to discover how he has changed during the centuries? Plants are also studied, and experiments made with them. We might take the ordinary cornstalk, for instance. VVhen we see corn growing we just take it as a matter of fact that corn grows just because it is corn. We never once stop to think of the tassel as the stamens, holding and shedding the pollen, or of the silk as the pistil, which catches the pollen, when it is shed, and forms the new seeds. This, and many other interesting facts about plants, are learned in the nature study course. j127j Y Elia-oiP.f.E.n.f1ND wif-rrffzalg l .5 e 5 We have been taught to use pictures and objects to arouse the interest of the pupils. We have been shown how to lead them to ask questions or to state the problem. We have learned the power of the appeal to curiosity, of which most everyone has plenty. Let us then be true to this course when we go into the schoolroom as teachers and help the children to realize that life is more fun if we understand and recog- nize the plants and animals about us. ETTA PERKINS. GEOGRAPHY World Peacelv we hear the cry from all parts of the world. How can we obtain it? We cannot deal with this problem till we understand the people of the earth. We need a closer relationship with nations making the earth one big home and all the people brothers and sisters. Some eminent student has said that geography alone will help settle the problems of the nations. Although many of us never may travel to meet those far-away people, we can study their doings g how they live may travel to meet those far-away people, we can study their doings, how they live and how they respond to their surroundings. By so doing perhaps we can become sympathetic as we consider their problems. World Peace 3 too large a held for us as teachers to settle, but we can do our little bit by teaching the child through geography how the rest of the world lives. We can help him to realize that the other people of the world are not queer but are different, and then lead him to discover the reasons for the differences. Today in geography we are getting so-called problems. The problems may be either the child's or the teacher's, but it must be a worthwhile one, having some appeal to the chi1d's interest. Merely to assign problem after problem is just as bad as the old-fashioned practice of assigning page after page. To the teacher be- longs the responsibility of getting the problem before the child in such a way that it appeals to him and arouses his enthusiasm. Pictures, objects, and maps are valuable for this. The child, for example, may become interested in a piece of amber so that the problem arises, What is it? Where does it come from? This may lead on to a real study of amber-how it was formed and how procured. A bit of cork from Portugal, lace from France, olives from Spain, all serve to make lessons have more meanings. Then, too, there are experiments that help. In mak- ing a barometer out of an electric light bulb we are teaching air pressure. Rough blackboard sketches by either teacher or pupil may serve to teach the point at hand. So we go on adding here and there a song, a game, a dance in the place where it has some connection with the lesson at hand. The recent air trip of Charles Lind- bergh would serve as a fine bit of interest for a geography lesson. So we cull the papers for news items which will make the lesson richer. Thusfar we have made no mention of the text. It is too valuable to discard. We use it for we know that the author has some valuable knowledge from which we can profit. The text can be used admirably for additions and verification. Thus the child studies not only his individual text but other supplementary texts which aid in the solving of his problems. As we go on from day to day we must vary our procedure, keeping interest alive, holding the child responsible for what he is taught, and bearing in mind al- ways the aims of geography which are: 1. To get information. 2. To develop reasoning power. 3. To promote a better understanding among nations. DORIS MERRIFIELD. l128j W iabeoamnw Moarffm-251 UNITED STATES HISTORY AND HISTORY METHODS One of the main divisions of the elective subjects offered in the third year of the junior high school course is history. In the United States History course we get a broader outlook on already familiar material. Through the efforts of our instructor, Miss Elizabeth Cleary, we are becoming acquainted with some famous persons in history, for biography plays an important part in our work. We are also required to write term papers on historical subjects. In the history methods course we learn how to teach history in junior high schools. Current events, a study of the causes of the World War and a knowledge of some of the authorities on History teaching methods today are included in the course. ELINOR STIMSON. ANCIENT HISTORY Our Ancient History course was one of the most interesting of the history courses. We had a variety of ways for broadening our knowledge by having reg- ular assigned lessons, outline work, map books, reference work and reports on old Greek plays. Every bit helps, and the Advanced Seniors completed this course with quite a bit more knowledge than when they entered upon it. FRANCES BROWN. SENIOR HISTORY In any teaching there are three essentials, the pupil, the subject and the teacher. As history is one of the most fundamental subjects studied, a good teacher must know history herself and know how to teach it to others. For this reason our his- tory course at Gorham Normal is a combination of subject matter and methods. We discuss methods to be used in the various grades and outlines of the work. Projects for the different grades have been demonstrated for the class by groups. VV e are guided in this work by our instructor, Miss Cleary, who seeks particularly for us to see all sides of a problem and then think it out for ourselves. MARGARET STIMSON. WORLD HISTORY World history-does that mean that we have to start way back when the earth was made and study everything up to 1927 ? one girl mournfully questioned. No one knew, but the suggestion of studying such an expanse of time in nine weeks had drenched the early joy of ending one quarter, as the array of long faces and droop- ing chins clearly showed. The mental distress concerning world history was somewhat appeased the first period in the afternoon on the following day, Miss Cleary briefly outlined the course for us. A sigh of relief greeted her statement that only the most im- portant points would be touched upon during the course. Another statement much to our liking was that we would not keep any notebooks but clip sheets into our mapbooks which we could obtain from the office for fifty cents. Our mapbooks were to contain short biographical sketches of the most important men, the mean- ings of the terms connected with each map, and the map itself done neatly, with the places located. There would also be a long theme to pass in at the end of the course on any subject that we wished to select. By the end of the period we be- lieved that we surely must know a great deal of world history already since we had discovered, in trying to tell what wasn't history, that everything we had taken so far in school had been history of some sort. I 1:29 1 '17?'Tfiil ll A .l19iGR11f2fff1N12. a In following history periods, pictures dealing with the subject under discussion were used to make the topic more interesting. Throughout the whole course we used these four factors in outlining the development of a country, filling in under each all the available information: economics, political, religious, and cultural development. The class in world history has been so different from what we had expected that apparent drudgery has been changed to work or in some cases, play, if you use the word as meaning an activity from which you derive enjoyment as the reward. As we filed out of the history room after the last lesson, one girl expressed the gen- eral opinion of the group thus: Not such a bad quarter after all l CURRENT HISTORY The purpose of the course in Current History was stated the hrst day. It was not only to read and report' on the current questions and problems but to ac- quire an interest in the world about us and to satisfy this interest by reading arti- cles containing the truth. For our text we used the Literary Digest with supplementary reading from the Outlook, Timo, Current History, The N ation, and other magazines. At first it seemed a hard task to read the Literary Digest and really digest it. They say something about eating so many olives and then liking them. just so with these lessons, it wasn't long before we were all becoming much interested. Before chapel, there were often many heated arguments as to what were the three most important items of the week. The enthusiasm was kept up in class by the extensive knowledge of some of the more mature students. They helped to furnish the background which shed light on many of the articles discussed. Oftentimes when there was a difference of opinion, someone would do a little research work and present to the class the truth. As the weeks went by we found that we were taking a keen interest in the affairs of the present day and many of us ventured to express our ideas more fully. Still there were some in the class who were silent. It was finally found that still waters run deep when a debate, given the last day of the quarter, revealed talent hitherto hidden. In this debate the pros and cons of the condition in the soft coal mines were set forth with much eloquence and forcefulness. As a representative of the class, I can say that Miss Boyden accomplished her purposes and the course was both interesting and instructive. GERTRUDE VINAL. CIVICS It can be said without exaggeration that this course in civics was most unusual in that it was so far-reaching, involved so many problems, and provided so large an amount of valuable material in so short a time. Its greatest value lay in its ability to stimulate thought. The various problems and phases of civics included in class discussion were methods of teaching civics in the grades, federal, state, city and town governmentg general agencies aiifecting and controlling community life, and special topics giving information concerning civic contributions of outstanding persons, events, organ- izations, all of which have affected the United States nationally and internationally. Each student was required to contribute a ten-minute paper on some chosen subject along lines of civic interest. Choosing the essential points from a large amount of material required discrimination, and fitting the paper into a ten-minute period usually demanded some revision of this material. All students, passing in newspaper clippings dealing with articles of civic value, received extra credit. These articles were passed on by the exchange secretary to students whose special topic called for this subject matter. If it had been possible for this course 'to continue during the entire school year, it would have been quite as comprehensive as the usual college course.

LANGUAGE COURSES A language department has been added this year, for the purpose of preparing students to teach languages in junior High Schools. Courses are given in methods of teaching French and Latin in Junior High Schools, as well as advanced study in French and Latin. These subjects may be elected by third-year students who have studied these languages throughout their high school courses. The methods courses aim to familiarize the students with the relation of the study of languages to the Junior High School Movement, the newest and best writings on modern methods of teaching languages, especially the direct method of teaching French, the report of the Classical Investigation Committee and its recommendations, and the work of the Classical Service Bureau. The stu- dents have an opportunity to visit the language classes of the Junior High School and are required to do some teaching there. The advanced courses are similar to first-year college courses. In Latin, some of the writings of Ovid, Horace and Livy are read and a study is made of advanced syntax. The work in French consists of study of literature, grammar and conver- sation and especially aims to acquaint the student with the life of the French people, their customs, traditions, and country. SOCIAL ETHICS Social Ethics has been a very beneficial course from the first assignment, which was to describe a person whom we greatly admired, emphasizing the permanent qualities that attracted us. After reading our description we made out a list of qualities which we deemed desirable for teachers to possess. There was considerable discussion at this point, some declaring that the truth should be told at all times under all conditions, while others maintained that there should be exceptions to this rule. The general concensus of opinion, however, seemed to favor the truth-at-all-times faction. The work continued in this vein for quite a few days with manyifaluable thoughts being brought out. Next we took up the value of teacher training if one turned to other fields of service. Here we decided that this training was very beneficial because it trained us to master ourselves and to better understand our associates. l1311 I lm 119-eancmfimv Wrrrtlr-as j Throughout the course ideals and attitudes were brought out with much emphasis. In connection with this we took up a symposium on the modern woman and her place in the world. Again we encountered many arguments, some favoring the modern type and others desiring the type to which our mothers belonged. Along with our work of this nature we included many supplementary readings, among them being articles in the magazine entitled Current History and the book Everyday Manners. It has been said that if a teacher is deeply interested in her subject she can stimulate greater enthusiasm in her pupils. This seemed to be the case here for such interest was created that the course became of much greater value. We emerged from our study of Social Ethics realizing more significantly the necessity and importance of instructing our boys and girls how to secure those qualities of human characteristics that result in honest and useful citizens of the United States and of the world. HAROLD WORSTER' PRIMARY READING AND ARITHMETIC The courses of Primary Arithmetic and Reading give a great deal of pleasure to the student who has not been in contact with these subjects for a few years. The many new devices and methods afford a never ending pleasure to the teacher student. Arithmetic that seems dim, hazy, and uninteresting in our minds instantly becomes an object with new life and interest. As little chil- dren in the grades we learned to count and do simple sums by dull methods, but we are going to teach by means of objects and devices. We will make things that were drudgery for us games and pleasurable activities for the pupils that are entrusted to our guidance. In reading we were taught the how when we were in the grades. We will teach the why, Our course has revealed to us many new secrets. Silent reading was unknown to us before, and phonics were indistinct and mysterious. Through careful teaching we have learned their value and are resolved to use them in our teaching. After o11r courses in Primary Arithmetic and Reading we feel renewed vigor and enthusiasm to go forth and teach, in the best ways possible, the subjects that are so fundamental in the lives of all people. ELIZABETH FRANCES KNIGHT. A COMPOSITION DEMONSTRATION From four to five o'clock March 19th, a most interesting demonstration of junior composition work was held in the Assembly Hall. From four until four- fifteen, classes were conducted by the students. Miss Doris Merrifield had charge of the work in vocabulary building, Miss Evelyn Littlefield taught language games, while Miss -Benita Kinney developed a lesson in picture study. After classes were dismissed came a debate next on the program. The question was: Resolved: That the United States was justified in sending troops to Nicaragua. Mr. Law- rence Fogg served as chairman, Mr. Harold Hallett and Mr. Harold Wooster spoke on the affirmative, while Mr. Stanley Libby and Mr. Wilson Palmer opposed with the negative. The judges-Miss Keene, Miss Andrews and Miss Baker-gave the decision to the negative. Completing the afternoon's program were two drama- tizations, The Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood, which were delight- fully presented by members of the C 5 division. Miss Retha Taylor acted as coach for the first, Miss Lena Ward for the second. Since the demonstration was rather an experiment the audience was not es- pecially large, but it proved to be an appreciative one. A feature receiving a great deal of attention throughout the period was the exhibition of original newspapers and magazines edited by the students as part of their class work.

One of these is the survey course in English literature. Through a study of the historical and social background, the class outlined the de- velopment of prose, poetry, and the drama in our own language. This naturally included discussion of outstanding authors and the famous fiction characters they have produced. The course might better be called literary appreciation. Another is a course in journalistic Writing, a laboratory class, where the students were en- couraged to discover their own needs and thereby outline a place for improvement. After discussion and technical work came practice in all kinds of writing necessary for the teacher to be able to handle. This included letter writing, editorials, news- paper articles, essays, dramatization, poetry, and short story writing. I A METHODS COURSE IN ENGLISH FOR JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS The subject matter used in the English methods course was mainly typical lit- erature given in junior and senior high school courses and selections to illustrate each class of poetry and type of prose to be found in modern literature. Miss Halliday encouraged the students to use their own originality as well as to put into practice the methods that she had taught by having the girls take turns at being teacher. One such assignment was the war poets. Each girl chose a different poet and found what she could about his works and life, then organized her material so that she was able to give the class an entertaining program concerned with her poet. The variety of ways in which such a subject could be treated was surprising. Ballads were taken up in a similar manner. A ballad was assigned to each student for special teaching. Each one could treat her subject in the way that she thought best. A short quiz followed each lesson to check up on results obtained. During the study of the short story practice in the retelling of stories was gained. Classmates, being frank with criticism and looking at the matter from the pupils angle, gave many valuable suggestions to the story teller, while Miss Halliday saw to it that no essentials were neglected. The Tales of a Wayside Inn was read and taught by the students. Each gave an examination over the subject matter that she had covered in teaching. ' A most interesting and profitable half-year was spent with this subject and some very practical pointers gained that will not only make teaching easier for the future teachers, but the class more profitable for -their future pupils. HENRIETTA SCHMIDT. GENERAL SCIENCE This year, for the first time, a course in general science has been offered at the Gorham Normal School. It is required of all seniors during three quarters of the year. A modern writer has said that science is an attitude of mind toward life and it is to the development of this attitude that the course in general science is devoted. The physical things of our environment furnish the materials for study, as general science is primarily an organized study of the environment. The organization of material into such units as Weather and Climate, Our Food Supply, Making and Caring for our Clothing, Keeping in Good Physical Condition, Lighting Our Buildings, Transportation and Communication, makes possible an appeal to every type of student. Furthermore. the training thus made available will certainly be of use in any phase of teaching that a student may eventually undertake. 1:1331 IQWGREIZN AND WFPITLQZ6 lNIJL'S'l'RIAl.

Psychology gives us both a new outlook on the behavior of the people about us and also a new interpretation of many of our own actions. I have become critical of some of my own mental habits, and I have learned how I may acquire a better set. Because of my knowledge of the dominant human urges and emotions, I shall know how to analyze some otherwise baffling situations, and shall have more patience with my pupils. ' , Psychology has developed in me not only a better understanding of human nature, but also a deeper appreciation. On this account I can better appreciate the biographies of great men and the records of great deeds. I have a better understanding of child naturei and child problems. Psychol- ogy has made me feel more keenly these responsibilities as a teacher: to stimulate my pupils in such a way as to secure their best efforts, to provide for different interests at different ages 3 to watch for individual differences 3 to make the most of the special abilities of my pupils 3 and to be at all times a sympathetic teacher. Character sketches and biographies have taken on a new meaning to me be- cause of psychology. It seems to me that I must be a more eflicient teacher because of a knowledge of the laws of learning, the characteristics of the learning process, and of econom- ical methods of learning. RURAL SOCIOLOGY The study of rural sociology prepares a teacher for rural school work so that she may receive the best possible results from her efforts. It acquaints her with the different phases of community life which she must meet and share with the rural people. In the beginning of our course we made a survey of a rural community, edu- cationally, religiously, and socially. It is essential that a teacher knows how to make a survey, because by means of this she will become familiar with the lives and environment of the children themselvesg and only by knowing these facts can she determine what methods to employ, and can discover their individual needs. This will also enable her to come in contact with the parents in the community and to achieve the most essential thing in connection with them-co-operation. With- out the co-operation of parents and teacher, the progress of the school and of the entire community is retarded. A student of rural sociology becomes acquainted with the problems which have confronted the rural population in the past and those which confront them today. One learns the reasons for the backwardness of rural schools, and only by a thorough knowledge of the causes can one hope to remedy them. The aim of the rural teacher, briefly stated, is to make the rural school a community center, socially and educationally, and to co-operate with the rural people in their activi- ties, so that their children will have privileges as nearly equivalent to those of chil- dren in urban districts as possible. BEULAH STORAH. l1351 pm .avsgafeswv Warm I 3 ECONOMICS Economics is one of the major subjects of the Junior High Course. It covers two quarters with three periods each week. The work this year has been very ably taught by Miss Margaret Fowler who majored in Ecomomics at the University of New Brunswick. Those who have followed recent changes in our high school curricula will see into how many schools Economics has been introduced and how the number of high school pupils studying the principles of Economics has increased since the close of the World War. It is not too much to expect to see the day when every high school senior will have an opportunity to examine in the classroom the laws and principles which serve as a foundation for modern business practices and procedure. The work has been divided into the customary four fields: consumption, pro- duction, exchange and distribution. Each has been taken up as a separate factor but at the same time has kept the relationship that exists among them. The chief virtue of this method is that it gives to the beginner, CU a clear idea of the whole Held to be studied, a definite goal toward which he can work, and C30 SOITIC- thing tangible with which to measure his progress from time to time. Under the field of consumption the motives for economic activity were studied and the relative importance of each considered. The importance of human wants and their relations to the laws of diminishing and marginal utility with varied ex- amples from available sources were reported upon and discussed. Here, too, de- mand and supply and their relation to price received consideration. The work on consumption was summarized by a thorough discussion of harmful and unwise methods of consumption and the substitution of conservation and thrift as a remedy. The next field, production, included a study of the organization of industry, the chief factors of production-land, labor and capital-and how each was applied to modern business. Transportation, marketing problems, and government control of production gave ample material for outside reading for class reports. Exchange and distribution received the same thorough study and discussion that the first two fields received. Banking and its history in the United States was the subject of two extensive reports. Each member of the class was required to write a paper on some factor dealing with the course. Books from the school, town, and state libraries were utilized for this purpose. XZAUGHN KETCHUM. HOME ECONOMICS - The Work in Home Economics is planned to help the individual girl rather than as a background for teaching the subject. The work in food study has as its main purpose the study of the school lunch-the preparation of suitable dishes for lunchroom cooking, and those dishes furnishing the food materials needed by the active, growing child. Individual food requirements are considered and a study of the daily calorific requirement of various ages is made. Much valuable educational material has been received for classroom distribution from many food manufac- turies such as those bearing on the school lunch problem, methods in preparation of batters and doughs, story of various cereals, baking powder exhibits and sam- ples, meat charts and cooking oils. The work in Textiles and Dress culminates in the making of a dress. In prep- aration some finishes and seams are learned in making the apron and underwear. The selection of material is studied in relation to the color, use intended, and the type of person. The aim of the work in sewing is to acquaint the student with the fundamentals of simple garment construction, use of a pattern and machine and hand work. Comparison is made of relative cost and merits of home-made gar- ments with those made in the factory. We should find most profitable further study in the larger field of Home Eco- nomics but lack of time forbids. lisej If ismaommir Noairnifzo OUR NEW SOCIOLOGY COURSE j One of the most interesting and popular courses given in the third year is that of sociology, one of the four required subjects. Our book, Elementary Sociol- ogy, by Ross L. Finney, is very interesting reading and easily understood, but in addition to that we have a few good reference books, Principles of Sociology, by Bushee, Sociology and Modern Social Problems, by Ellwood, Social Problems and Social Policy, by Ford, and Social Problems, by Towne. Other books, however, should be added before the course is offered again. Our own book undertakes to give as the basis of the different groups and occupations the geographic, technic, and social influences. In order to give an idea of the work, the following topics are listed as having been read and discussed: human nature, heredity and eugenics, the family, community, industry, the stand- ard of living and how it may be improved, government, education, morals and religion. Every two or three lessons, each one is supposed to report on some subject suggested in the last day's work, and since nearly everyone selects a different topic, a great deal of condensed material is brought in. Our project for the course is to write an interesting and comprehensive paper on any subject connected with sociology. Some of the following have been chosen: immigration, education, socialism, and the problem of criminality. With five weeks in which to do research work, these papers are sure to prove of value to the student. GLADYS TEAGUE. EFFECT OF TECHNIC CAUSES ON SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT - Strongarm drew back into the shelter of the thicket that he might, uninter- rupted, watch the strong antics of Clubfoot, who was throwing one end of a stout vine into the brook. Miraculous! Clubfoot pulled out the vine, with a fine trout struggling at the end. Again and yet again Clubfoot cast the vine into the water. Each time he drew out a fish. This explained why the cripple, who, a short time before had seemed about to die of starvation, was now plump. Instead of finding it harder to obtain food because of his deformity, Clubfoot now got food with much greater ease than the strong men. For days Strongarm neglected his hunting to watch Clubfoot carefully. One happy day he felt that he had the secret. Going to his solitary cave he hunted about for a strong iishbone. He securely fastened a piece of vine to the bone and impaled a fat worm on the pointed end. Then, keeping fast hold to one end of the vine he tossed the other into a deep pool. In a moment he left a vicious tug on the vine. He pulled it out and unhooked his prize, a fine trout. After this there were no more hungry days for Strongarm. He got his food and more of it in half the time that he formerly had done. But fish palls as a steady diet. If there were some way, some hook as it were, by which he could more easily catch rabbits and delicious little pigs. Sometimes a sharp stone, luckily aimed, brought them down. If there were some way to guide the stone! Thus Strongarm hit upon the idea of making a rough spear, a strong, straight stick with a sharp stone at one end. N ow indeed, food was abundant. There was no reason why Redtop, his mate, and their savage son, Twoteeth, should not live with him and share in his abundance. As time went on, it was found that several, by the aid of these two marvelous inventions, could find sufiicient food in the territory that had scarcely sufiiced for one before. Several men were better than one. They could keep off the fierce, saber-toothed tigers. They could kill large game for food. So it naturally came about that Strongarm, Clubfoot, and the other men of the vicinity should unite in a tribe. Since there must be a leader, bold Strongarm was chosen chief. Thus had the people evolved from the primitive to the hunting-fishing stage. f137j , .....,....-. Min., . ,law ...Y--.. -,-. 3- , Y. ,- iff eee or ll19ma12.Lr.1t.f1ND Wrrrrgfza .wtgd s In the course of ti1ne, Strongarm was gathered to his fathers and Twoteeth reigned in his stead. Other tribes grew up about this tribe. These other tribes were continually invading Twoteethis domain on their hunting trips. Twoteeth and his men bitterly resented these attempts to despoil them of their livelihood. They fought bloody battles with the invaders and, in retaliation, hunted in the enemy's territory. After the death of Twoteeth, the leadership of the growing tribe descended to his son, Bigfoot, and in this family the office of chief was hereditary for many generations. It was not so with the descendants of Clubfoot. Because Clubfoot was a cripple, he had to choose his mate from the least desirable maidens that the chief men had scorned, so he wedded a hunchback. Their children, unable to help in hunting or Fighting, were despised by their fellowmen. Most of his descendants met an early death for nature was relentless in exacting her toll of the unfit. Those who survived did so because native cunning was sharpened and increased in the vital effort to offset physical handicap. One of Clubfoot's race was Cadam, the Womanhearted. Because he could not bear to see a tiny wolf-pup killed, he took the beast home, fed it food that he could ill afford to spare and so raised to maturity the most loyal friend that he had ever known. His wolf went hunting with him, tracked and killed game, so that Cadam, with his wolf's help, was an equal in hunting with any of the tribesmen. Some years later, Cadam led home an orphaned colt. Then Cadam was hard-put to it to find enough food for his new pet for grass grew scantily in the forest glades. Although his good wife had scolded vigorously at his economic folly in bringing the animal home, she became attached to it in time. It was so convenient for bringing heavy carcasses back from the hunt, for dragging their clumsy household goods when they moved from place to place. Other tribesmen began to desire tame wolves and domesticated ponies to lighten their labor. There was barely food enough for Cadam's horse as Cadam was a weakling, his horse would have to go to make way for the strong men's horses unless some other means for providing fodder could be found. Then Dame uluba, Cadam's wife, set her wits to work for she was not minded to lose the first labor-saving -device for women that she had ever known and go back to the back- breaking toil of dragging heavy loads. juba suggested that they make a clearing in the rich land near the river where grass grew most luxuriantly. Here they would raise enough grass for their horse. Cadam thought this a capital idea. Others followed this example and had their wives raising hay for their own horses. As the years went by, the wise men of the tribe were troubled by an ever- growing situation. The other tribes were increasing, just as theirs had grown and now it was hard to get enough food for everyone. Moreover, their tribe had been so weakened by recent fights that another might mean their extinction. The order went forth that they were to move. All portable belongings were put on the horses' backs and the entire tribe went out in search of a fairer land. Nowhere in all the forest land did the other tribes permit them to settle so that eventually they found themselves driven forth into the grassy plains. Here they subsisted from hand to mouth while the wise men and leaders tried to find a solution to their difficulties. This solution was not found at once but gradually grew into being. One or two hundred years after their coming to the plains, the people were prosperous shepherds and were raising wheat and a few other grains to vary their former diet of meat and fruit. They were weaving garments from wool and living in tents that they had made. They had passed thru the hunting-fishing stage and were well into the agriculture-handicraft stage. The life of a shepherd and farmer required other characteristics than the life of a warrior and hunter had needed. The descendants of Strongarm lost their lissj il1 FT. L g g ee I , if ,Il I ll191Gol2.Hf.f1l?r DIUTZITALWZSH l I --If , supremacy. Many of them starved to death in those first hard years of adjustment for they, who had succeeded so well in a life that had called for sudden daring, found that they lacked the capacity to plan ahead for long periods of time. When one is on the verge of starvation and summer is nearly gone is not the time to think of planting a crop for this year's harvest. As generation followed generation, the quality of the people changed from a group of spasmodic actors to a nation of steady plodders. Now the tribe increased surprisingly, so that it divided into several tribes and these several tribes began to wander to other places as food grew scarce for such a multitude. The common language was changed. Each tribe had its own dialect that after hundreds of years grew into a separate language. New inventions were being added to those already known. Men became skil- ful in using metals, in making pottery, in building better dwellings. An alphabet was invented so that they could now transmit the story of their deeds. Inequalities between men increased. The king and even his nobles were more powerful than the former chief had been but the common people had lost their feeling of equality with others They were now little better than slaves. Various tribes had attacked the island of Britain but now it was inhabited by a mixed race, the English. The king and his nobles were of Norman blood, the serfs were Saxons. One of these noblemen, the Lord of Mountfort, dwelt in the southern part of this island. His home was a huge, stone castle, dark, damp and draughty, but nevertheless the highest example of architecture of the times. The villains, bound for life to the manor, regarded it with as much of awe and venera- tion as their starved souls could permit. They were an ignorant, overworked, ill- fed lot, these villains, whose narrow world was the manor and whose supreme allegiance was paid to the noble Lord of Mountfort. Each serf held one or more narrow strips of land about the manor, which he cultivated for his own use. Three days a week he worked on the lord's land ex- cept during the weeks of Christmas, Easter, and Whitsumtide. These three weeks were his own. Besides his labor, each villain paid a bushel of wheat, eighteen sheaves of oats, three hens and one cock yearly to the lord besides giving him five eggs at Easter. There was no way for a serf to better his lot. He was bound to the land and if another lord obtained control of the manor the villain must simply shift allegiance to him. Such was the life of Gurth, Home to him was a one-room but whose dark- ness was made twilight by one small window. The hut boasted no such luxury as a chimney. Food was not only scanty but coarse. Gurth, whose ambitions, if such he had ever possessed, had been crushed by a life of proiitless toil, did not even try to vary his diet by raising fresh vegetables. His children, despite any- thing he could do to prevent it, would become his lord's workers, his sons in the fields, his daughters in the castle kitchen. Thus things had gone on for centuries. Thus they would go on forever. However, Gurth was reckoning withouthis oldest son, Edward. Tales of the great city of London, of free men who worked at trades, and of serfs who had gained their freedom by living away from the manor for seven years, had some- how iiltered in to the Lord of Mountfort's secluded ville. So one night young Edward crept noiselessly from the house and set out along the cart track that led to London. Breathless with fear, he yet held on his way. If he were captured and brought back to the manor he well knew what his punishment would be. Once he had seen Lord Mountfort's terrible anger roused by a runaway serf and that serf had been Hogged to death. Every deep shadow, every crackling of the twigs brought terror to his heart. When daybreak came he lay among the bushes, bathed in cold perspiration, every time he heard the tramp of horses' hoofs. I:139I I .- l y j iaefaantwamn Wnrrffaa l That' next night he reached London. Its vastness terrified even while it re- assured him. Surely he could not be found here. He curled up on a dirty doorstep and fell into a deep slumber. Next morning he was awakened by a vigorous shaking. He was being called a lazy curl. If he were the new apprentice that had been sent him, why did he not enter, for they were short of workers? Edward looked up to the speaker, and answered that no one had sent him but he should like to find work. Seven years went by and Edward was a free man as well as a member of the weaver's guild. Other serfs began to follow suit and manufacturing increased. Money became the common medium of exchange rather than produce. The man- orial system was breaking up. Then came one marvelous invention after another, in rapid succession. The spinning jenny and Arkwrights' water-power device were followed by the power loom, the cotton gin, the steam engine, and other machines even more remarkable. Manufacturing was no longer carried on in home and shop but in large fac- tories. More people flocked to the towns to work in these factories so that cities grew up. Now, no one man made a whole coat or a pair of shoes but only did a part of the work. Manufacturing or machineofacturing, to be more exact, was done in large quantities and at a high rate of speed. Living conditions changed as a result of this industrial revolution. No longer is society divided into powerful nobles and cringing serfs but into the capitalists and workingmen. The capitalists are not permitted to have the nobles' absolute power for the people are better educated and more independent. T hey are governing themselvs, so laws have been made to regulate regulations between employer and employee. There remains much to do in this line because with so much money at their command the capitalists are powerful enough to block some legislation. People are having to think out just what the new rules shall be for the old rules do not fit any longer. It will take years of experimentation, work, and thought to adjust society. In the meantime there is Horace Wicks, the capitalists' son. He drives a sport roadster at a furious pace and lives, at about the same speed, a foolish little life in search of thrills, by means of bootleg whiskey, jazzing about cabarets with chorus girls, and generally boring himself. Also there is John Brown, the son of one of the elder Wick's many workmen. He is working in the factory, attending night school, and enjoying life in a whole- some way. The indications are that young Wicks will not be able to hold his father's position, while john Brown is headed for promotion. It is readily seen that classes of society now do not invariably pass down to their descendants the privileges that they themselves enjoy. Theoretically every one has a chance to better himself. As a fact the majority have a chance to do better and by education, restriction of immigration, and proper distribution of products, we must give the others their chance. The age of manufacture has the possibility to fulfill the needs of man so that all may live in comfort. It is better than the primitive, hunting, fishing and agri- Culture-handicraft stages in this possibility. It remains to be seen whether men will be able to so regulate their affairs that this possibility becomes a fact. I:140j fd fflf if ----is g f' ' ' .

The kindergarten is a strong foundation upon which the child builds his later work. llere we try to develop a child socially, morally, mentally, and physically. The child must learn to work with others. He must learn that there are certain duties for which he himself must he responsible. Certain laws of etiquette are required hut only those needed at this age. Physical development is encouraged through rhythms and games, each chosen carefully with a thought of the child's future needs. Vveaving has made a strong appeal to the children this year. They first experimented with oilcloth mats. Then, as the desire to take them home increased, paper mats were used. Next they wove hammocks and marhle bags on cardboard looms. To make a complete project of a hammock the children set up the looms, weave the hammocks, and make the wooden frames as well. ,AX story hour and a work period also play important parts in the curriculum, An appreciation of good literature is developed through stories which meet the immediate needs of the children. The work period furnishes them an opportunity to express freely, through the art mediums. their feelings, thoughts. and experiences. 11411 ... , ,l..i.........., w--id? in N M ,J ,.l.i.J , C fx! CL?

This contains a variety of hooks dear to a child's heart, some of which he can read for himself. and others that are too difhcult for him to read but are within his comprehension if they are read to him. liaeh of them con- tains many pictures that strongly appeal to a child. On the table are many books within the child's experience and around it are the chairs which invite the children to be seated while they enjoy the books. llack of the table there is a small couch which is much in demand when the boys and girls have library privilege. Some days the children have access to the library as a reward for doing their work quickly and accurately at their seats. liefore school hours they are at liberty to go to the library at any time. A child who has tried especially hard to be help- ful is chosen each day for librarian. The librarian passes out the hooks which the children have permission to take home. ln this way they have the advantage of choosing from the best literature. One needs only to glance at the picture to be convinced of the keen interest which the children take in their lihrary. GRACE CHAsi-1. FIRST GRADE H Here is a picture of a sand-table made by the pupils of the first grade. Notice the two-story house in which the three bears live. Down- stairs there are three chairs and a large table. On the table there are three bowls of porridge. Goldi- locks is there. She is going up- stairs to the bedroom. There you see three beds. The bears are out in the yard. They have just re- turned from their morning walk. The children are interested in this sand-table because it is their own T .L work. l1431 HIQWGREENJIITD WFPITLWZB T I .i....-1 lg gg 5 1 THE SECOND GRADE NEVVS One morning Miss Hastings brought to the Second Grade a small printing outfit which she had asked Mr. Russell to furnish for that room. The pupils were to use it to print a newspaper. All the children were interested and anxious to begin. They considered that every newspaper has a name, and decided that theirs should be called, The Second' Grade News. In this paper was to be printed im- portant news and happenings connected with the school. Only those pupils whose regular school work was done well might print. This served as a motive to all. The printing outfit and newsprint paper were kept on a table at the back of the room and the news items were posted in a conspicuous place on the wall where all could see them. Some of the first sentences printed were: Sunday was Evelyn's birthday, Priscilla is well again, No one was tardy yesterday. Often two pupils worked together, one finding the required letters while the other did the printing. They liked to take turns printing their language lessons, too, observing the same language rules as those who were writing at their seats. The children were always eager to talk about their newspaper. It is really their own because all the work is done by them. The purpose of this work is to stimulate an interest in reading, language, and other subjects as well. Pupils form the habit of looking at the newspaper and make an effort to read the news. It also furnishes another means of closely relating reading symbols to the interests and experiences of the children, thereby reinforcing the vocabulary. l1441 I V ,-,...i1.--. .L Y--,-. . ,, W-.

BIRD HOUSE PROJECT-GRADE THREE The alder by the river Shal-:es out her powdery curls: The willow buds in silver, For little boys and girls. The little birds fly over, And oh. how sweet they sing! To tell the happy children That once again 'tis spring. Happy indeed is the child who rushes to school long before it is time for the bell to ring to tell his teacher that he has been 'first to see a robin or hear the song of the bluebird! Vfhen the other children hear the news they, too, become excited and we have an ideal situation for beginning a study of birds. That was what happened in the Third Grade at the Training School. One day after the children had been talking about the value of birds to the farmer and ways in which we might help preserve them, one boy asked if they could make some bird houses. As there was neither time nor material to make the houses at school, it was suggested that the houses be made at home and a prize given to the boy who succeeded in making the best one. The teacher consented and the boys began work. XVhen a bird house was Finished it was brought to school. As the number increased, interest grew until a big variety of hue houses were on display. Many interesting and amusing ac- counts were given by the children of the difficulties they had encountered and their methods of overcoming them.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP CLUB The boys and girls of the fourth grade in the Training School have been much interested in their Good Citizenship Club. The purpose of the club is to form those habits of character which will tend to develop the highest type of citizens. The officers consist of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. They are chosen from the children who have already formed the most good habits. When an officer shows that he is unfit for his position by setting a bad example, he is automatically dismissed and a pupil who has proved by his record that he is bet- ter qualified for the position is chosen. Meetings are held once in two weeks. The program for each meeting is based upon a detailed study of one of the habits of good citizenship. A record is kept for each pupil. His commendable habits are listed on one sheet and his faults on another. Wfhen any occasion arises wherein a pupil is needed to perform some service, he is chosen from the pupils having the best record. A good citizen CODE 1. Is honest in all his dealings. 7. Obeys orders cheerfully. Tells the truth. Is courteous to everyone. Does not attract the attention of others by any loudness or display of poor manners. Helps keep things neat and tidy.

The boys take Manual Training at the Academy, under Mr. Brown, while the girls remain in the classroom for their work in Industrial Arts. During the year, the girls have made many useful and attractive articles. Among these are cookbooks, bunny dolls. desk sets, scrapbooks, pin cushions, fiber mats. and notebooks, which they have covered and bound, l1461 .,.l ' -V1 1 A-.- . 1-.. cye , IQWGOREIEJIFF tfoawfigf 6 TQ:1?Qc3,g ' y tgfi Tlllf N,fXTlYl'l'Y .-I C'l11'1'.s'fl110.v St'l'T'ft't' xll'I'tIlI!jt'tI' by lx'oxa111m1r1' Kizzlbnll One of the events of the year for the Sixth lirade was their presentation of a play, The Nativity, which was managed hy one of the practice teachers.

A HISTORY PROJECT During the winter, the Sixth Grade, who were studying The Background to American History had reached the Medieval Period. Upon suggestion by the teacher, they decided to build a model of a castle. They collected a number of Quaker Oats boxes to be used for the towers. These were laid out on a large sheet of cardboard and a rough plan was drawn up. Measurements were then taken for the walls, which were also made from cardboard. The children then cut the walls to,-the correct size and pasted gray paper over the towers and walls. Each pupil wasthen assigned one part of the model to draw. The class as a whole made drawings of shields and helmets and the best ones were chosen for the display. All others,Were mounted on large-size drawing paper and hung about the room. The pupils assigned special tasks made a knight, a lady, a table anglybench, a canopy, a dais, a portcullis, a doorway, and a drawbridge. The tops of'the'W15Krs were made of red paper. In addition to the model, the children dramatizedtseveral phases of feudalism, namelyg the vassal taking the oath of allegiance to his lord, and the ceremony of a boy becoming a knight. Much material was obtained from Scott's Ivanhoe, MALCOLM S. CASTLE. ' GLIMPSES OF OUR MODEL RURAL SCHOOL Let's have a piece by the orchestra, might be heard, if one should chance to be visiting our Model Rural School some day, for we really have an orchestra. T he victrola takes the place of the piano, and the other instruments are cymbals, tambourine, drum, sandblock, bells, triangle, sticks, and jingle clogs. We made our jingle clogs and purchased several of the other instruments with the money earned at our Hallowe'en Social. Our Maine book is most interesting. The covers were made by one of the pupils with the help of a practice teacher. They are very attractive in green with pine cones in each corner and the Word Maine, across the cover. This book con- tains the Maine seal, songs and poems about Maine, pictures of its summer resorts, forests, sports, and other worthwhile pictures, as well as write-ups about each. Santa Claus visited the children at the Chapel, where we had our Community Christmas Tree. As everyone knows, in Northern Maine, lumbering is the chief occupation in winter. Our sand table in January illustrated a typical lumber camp. It showed the log cabin where the lumbermen lived, snowshoes. skiis, logs being hauled to the mill on sluices. the mill, and the partly frozen river. February tenth, Miss Nason, State Nutrition Worker, spoke to the mothers on Food for the Small Child. The mothers asked questions and a most profitable time was spent. We must not forget Lindbergh. Grades Four to Eight have enjoyed finding clippings and pictures of Lindbergh. With the aid of books such as We by Colonel Charles Lindbergh and Lindbergh, the Lone Eagle, by George Buchanan Fife, they were able to find much about his life and achievements. We have a happy life at the Model Rural School. 11481 V--- -- f' 'gnu H ' ' LIQQGSORMFFS NO12.I2f..kiLf-Z6 g p T JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Dirrrlor, hlIRlAM E.

TVVILIGHT ALLEY An operetta in two acts Junior High Auditorium, Wednesday Evening, March 14, 1928 at seven-thirty o'clock Presented by members of the Junior High School Gorham, Maine PLOT OF PLAY Dame Needy, with her large family, lives in The Old Shoef' a tenement in Twilight Alley. Meg is the oldest of eight daughters, and Jack, the only son, is captain of a baseball nine of boys of his own age. Angelina is an emigrant child who is left all day at The Old Shoeu while her mother works in a factory. Lily is the daughter of a well-to-do property owner, the landlord of The Old Shoe. On afternoon Lily loses her way in the city streets and wanders into a tene- ment court where the sunshine rarely penetrates because of the smoke. She pities these twilight dwellers and invites them to her own lovely garden. While Dame Needy is asleep, the girls steal away with her to her home on the hilltop. During their absence the boys rebel at being compelled to live in The Old Shoe and decide to burn it, but Lily and the others return in time to offer a hap- pier solution, and all ends well. rim l193G12.E.E.rf.f1ND Wnerreaqy j ,I . -. a. -.,- . 1 - W A-gt ' TT . AUDUBON SOCIETY GORHAM, NIAINE, May 1, 1928. My dear friv11d.' Having just returned home after a visit to the Gorham Junior High School, I am anxious to tell someone about the things I saw there. I know that you are always interested in getting ideas for your nature work so I am going to tell you about the bird project which resulted in the formation of a junior Audubon Society. Mr. Robie, who has charge of a bird sanctuary in Gorham, offers prizes to the Junior High School pupils for keeping bird feeding-stations through the winter months and then writing compositions on some subject which he designates. Knowing that the prizes were to be offered this year the Supervisor of Gen- eral Science arranged the work so that a student teacher, under her direction, gave the class two weeks' instruction in bird study. This unit of work included a visit to the bird sanctuary and a study of the different types of feeders used. A feeder was put up back of the schoolhouse and each pupil was encouraged to build one at home. As a summary of their work a bird program was arranged to which all members of the Junior High School were invited. Stuffed birds and feeders were brought from home. llird pictures and charts were collected to make the assembly hall a good setting for such a program. After the play, Miss Keene, the instructor in lflird Study at the Normal School, told the pupils about Mr. Robie's offer and printed copies of the rules for the contest were given to them. Thirty pupils entered the contest. To keep up interest, pupils were encour- aged to report the birds seen at their stations and a snapshot was taken of each pupil with a feeder. I am enclosing three of the pictures which the teacher was kind enough to give me. VVhile I was there today, I visited an English class in which the contestants were gathered receiving help in organizing the material for their compositions. Later in the forenoon I entered a room where fifty-four boys and girls, again under the direction of a student teacher, were assembled to choose officers for a Junior Audubon Society which they are forming. Plans are being made for keep- ing bird lists and going on bird walks. I have used all of my time telling you about this so will tell more of my visit at another date. Sincerely, RUTH.

The course is under the supervision of Miss Ella XVarren, teacher in charge of the Llassical liepartment of the Normal School. The aim of the course is to enable the pupils to speak simple French-and to discuss every day topics in French. ln accordance with this, very little time is de- voted to written or grammatical work, but class work is conversational in method. The class room is most attractively decorated. Posters and placards were made by the pupils, upon which were printed mottoes and expressions such as, On parle Francais ici, and l,e travail vainc tout.'l French railroad posters and scenes in France lend a foreign atmosphere to the room. Pictures have formed the basis of many interesting lessons. These were of French scenes or were selected from French magazines. Words in :L series have been taught also. The pupils have learned to express their actions throughout the day by a series of expressions linked together. Thanksgiving. Christmas, Valen- tine's Day, Faster and other holidays provide fascinating topics. The idiomatic expressions of weather are learned as the opportunity presents itself. l'upils hnd real delight in being able to answer to the question, L'Quel temps fait-il? ll fait froidf' or ll fait du vent, or to tell about a tumbling' accident because ll faisait glissautf' The Latin course is given to both Grade eight and Grade nine. XYho wouldnt be surprised to drop in some day and hear a conversation between the pupils somes thing like this: Quis est? list agricola. Quid agricola tacit? t','Xgricola agrum aratf' The course aims to bring out the correlation between l.atin and ling- lish. lluch work is done by means of competitions and games. which make the subject Very interesting to the pupils. ll51l yiaeeannwnitv WHITE925 if MAINE HISTORY Maine history, which has been introduced into the ninth grade of the junior high school as a new course this year, is proving worthwhile. Only ten students are enrolled which makes much individual attention possible. The work comes daily, three days each week being spent on the basal text, one on research work from other books, papers and magazines, and one on the Maine Books that are being compiled by each student. These books have covers designed by the pupils themselves. The subjects are varied but all speak Maine to the reader. Une cover depends for its decorative motif on a copy of the Maine seal, cut from an ordinary newspaper, pasted on white construction paper, beautifully hand-tinted, and enclosed in a frame of blue. Pine cones and tassels, pine trees, maps of Maine, state publicity slogan seals, and views of Maine have all been utilized in the cover designs. F or a foreword we have used the following: You who love the haunts of Nature, Love the sunshine of the meadow, Love the shadow of the forest Love the wind among the branches, And the rain shower and the snowstorm And the rushing of great rivers Through their palisade of pine trees, And the thunder of the mountains 3 Listen to this tale of Maine. v These books contain articles which depict the history of Maine, and tell of its industrial and agricultural life. The pictures and stories of its attractions in sum- mer and winter make one realize why Maine has been called The Vacation Statef' The Playground of the Nation, and the i'Switzerland of America. Maine songs and poems have been learned and included among the other things in the book. To H521 ,L g ,p g H i liaweonrmn NORITALWZ8 ll in J the song, Maine,,' by June VVheeler Bainbridge, we have added another verse: God bless our native State, Its men and women great, At home and away. We pledge our love so true, All that we are and do, Dear State of Maine, to you, Now and always. Another song, which Hts properly into the publicity movement so widespread throughout Maine, is the 'tMaine Booster Song, worked out from an idea embod- ied in a Sunday School Class slogan. It is sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle, and the first verse and chorus are: Be a booster for your State Noon and night and morning, Turn your back on criticism, Condemnation scorning. CHORUS: Always boost your State along, Always say it's dandy, Never knock in word or song But with your praise be handy. Two pages contain some ten or a dozen original Hag salutes to our own Maine Flag. This'is one: We salute you, Flag of Maine, and the Pine Tree State for which you stand. We pledge our love, our lives, and all we have in your defense. Famous men and women have been studied, and many pages have been devoted to biographical sketches of Neal Dow, Fessenden, Hannibal Hamlin, James G. Blaine, and others. Things of special interest, such as Lafayette National Park, and the Carlton Bridge, have been taken up. Papers and magazines are a constant source of inspiration and help as our pages of clippings will show. An additional feature of cur course has been visits to places connected with our work. For instance, while studying Maine Industriallyf' a visit to the local tannery was both pleasant and profitable. During the period spent on civil gov- ernment our work was made more real by the reports brought back from an after- noon spent at the local town meeting. These are ust a few of the ways by which we are trying to make the study of Maine History one of the the important parts of our curriculum. By it we hope to arouse ideals of civic duty, a great love for, and interest in, their State, and a desire to stay in Maine and help make it the great state for which it has so many natural advantages. We are trying to follow out the words of a former well-beloved state superintendent, W. W. Stetson, who said: Let the student of Maine History ask himself constantly, 'What have I learned today to make me prouder of Maine, and to help me to become a better citizen of Maine ?' Let the teacher who guides and directs bring to the work of the class such fullness of knowledge, such contagious enthusiasm, and such evident faith in the value of the work outlined, that no pupil shall fail of attaining those purposes. Let student study and teacher teach as under the inspiration of the prayer, God bless the State of Maine. l1531 , '? T . -. -V r R V1 f- in' . i f I f QIQWGREENJIND WIPITEKZ6 j E l I W TREASURE ISLAND IN ACTION The adventure-seeking child finds many delightful hours in perusing Treas- ure Islandf' Indeed, this famous story offers many possibilities for schoolroom work. The eighth grade of the Gorham Junior High found this to be quite true. Everyone enjoyed reading Treasure Island and the work done with it. After formal classroom work with the tale had been finished, we found that one more lesson must be given in this section of literature. The reason was the approaching evening school planned as an opportunity for the parents to visit. Because this story had been so thoroughly enjoyed, the class felt that some of the pleasure should be passed on to the visitors. Every child likes action. Dramatization then offered possibilities of satisfy- ing this urge. Treasure Islund, too, in every scene is just overliowing with action. The combination then solved our problem. The class was divided into two sections, each having a chairman. The chair- men with the aid of the practice teacher decided upon the scenes to'be produced. They were: jim in the Apple Barrel and the Mutiny upon Captain Silver. As the class was not even in number, three members were chosen to give character- izations. These were to be descriptions of some favorite character in Treasure Island and given with the name withheld that the class and visitors might guess who they were. After the characters for each scene had been selected, to prepare the lines for each, next confronted us. This was soon done with the help of our knowledge of the story and a dramatization of the story that had been written by a former grade. In two class periods we prepared ourselves for the presentation. For cos- tumes, the class planned that red bandanas, which could be easily obtained, and a bright sash would add the pirate color. Some carried knives to add to the awe of their appearance. Not much scenery was needed, as the audience surely must be possessed of imaginations to cope with such a situation. A great deal of pleasure was obtained by the boys and girls from this last lesson, and it is certain that no one regretted the time spent upon it, but will remember Treasure Island the longer for it.

This year it consists of nineteen members who were chosen from the twenty-five stu- dents who tried out. These members represent the junior and senior classes. The material this year is exceptionally good, and the variety of instruments represented makes a much better balanced gfroup than in previous years. Orchestra practice is held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Miss Andrews has chosen many interesting pieces for study, which have proved both instructive and worthwhile. The principal functions at which the orchestra has performed are the Christmas Concert, the program broadcast from NYE.-XF in April, the Operetta. the Dramatic Club play, the Community Club entertainment, the Music Week program in Slay. the graduation exercises, and several times dur- ing the year in morning' chapel. 11591 f 7' . ,L Y, YYY,, ,A ,HA-M A-AA M,-,,,,K., A 'H Tl i19eG'12,EllllffHND WHQITTEJUZ6 i THE OPERETTA On May 23rd the music department staged the operetta Pepita. It xvas the lug rnusic event of the season on lvornud IIHL and the students turned out en masse. The argument and cast of characters follow: ARGUMENT ACT I The scene opens outside a Mexican village inn kept by Pedro, a crafty, designing old man and a confirmed pessimist, who, owing to poor business, due to the unsettled state of the country, is unable to pay the rent to his landlord, Carlos, a young man of wealth and position, but outlawed by the government, because of his suspected complicity with Romero, an ex-smuggler, who, from his cave in the mountains, directs the passage of arms and ammunition through the Federal lines to the revolutionary forces. lielipa, daughter of Pedro, a charming girl of bright and sunny disposition, refuses to be a party to her father's scheme to save paying rent by marrying her to Carlos, knowing, as she does, that the latter is smitten with the charms of Pepita, a country girl who has tied to the village to escape the raids of the soldiers, and that his interest is reciprocated, though the two have never met. When matters are at their worst, Henry Hepworth, an American millionaire, touring the country with his sister Jane, and his valet, Wilson, arrives at the inn, takes a whole floor for his party, and is at once attracted by lfelipa. Wilson presumes to aspire to Jane, or rather to her money, but receives small encour- agement, as appears. Carlos and Pedro concoct a scheme to abduct Jane and convey her to Romero to hold for ransom. which they carry out successfully. The alarm is given, and the act closes with preparations for the pursuit and rescue. ACT Il SCENE 1 opens in a mountain pass near Romero's cave early on the following morning. Romero has fallen in love with his prisoner, and his picturesque garb and life appeal to jane's love of the romantic. Hepworth arrives to negotiate for the ransom, accompanied by Wilson, guided by Carlos, and followed shortly by Pepita, whose suspicions are aroused by her lover's connection with the abduction. Hepworth is dumbfounded by Romero's announcement that he will accept no ransom but Janes hand -in marriage, to which, however, he readily agrees, with the approval of the lady herself. The proposal that all return to the inn for lunch is met by Romero with the news that there is a price on his head offered by the government because of his revolutionary activities, whereupon Hepworth tells them that dispatches have arrived announcing the complete defeat of the Federal forces by the Insurrectos, who are now in full control of the government. The only obstacle now to Romero's return is the danger of Pedro's using his knowledge of the smugglers past to the latter's disadvantage. Hepworth having undertaken to buy Pedro's silence, they bid au re'zf0fr to Romero, leaving Wilson behind, much against his will, as a hostage. I1601 I lm isweoanfirr nroitrrntwzol i SCENE 2, morning in the village, reveals Felipa anxious over Hepworth's fate, and Pedro mourning over the unpaid board bill, till the party arrives safely. Carlos succeeds in explaining matters to Pepita's satisfaction, but Hepworth, having succeeded in buying Pedro's silence con- cerning Romero, is confronted by a new demand from the old inn-keeper for a substantial honorarium in return for his consent to parting with his daughter. Wilson returns alone with a cock-and-bull story of his prowess and exploits in eliecting his escape, but the unexpected return of Romero gives him his quietus. All the love aFfairs now being satisfactorily arranged, news is received of the appointment of Romero as Governor of the Province, and the fiesta in honor of the new regime starts as the curtain falls.

It is only a convenient title that has found favor by its brevity and through lack of a better. It is a thing of artificialty, for ordinary feelings and emo- tions are not naturally expressed by music. It is justihed, however, in that what- ever the feelings or actions to be expressed, proper and suitable music will express them with far greater intensity and far greater power than spoken words or gestures. An opera, then, is a play designed for the stage with scenery, costumes and ac- tion used as accessories. It has, however, the additional use of music to intensify the meanings of lines uttered by characters, to heighten the effect produced by other combined arts, and to add the emotional element that might otherwise be lacking. We owe opera to the blind gropings in the dark for a something C they knew not whatj of a small circle of scholars. In the Middle Ages sacred music was often used in plays. A group of men under Count Bardi tried to find music which would be more dramatically ht and suitable. Their attempt was a failure, but it led to an- other medium and method of expression. The first to achieve success was Peri who gave Daphne', in 1594. ln 1600, Eurydice appeared, written by the same author, and is now given as the date of the birth of the opera. From that time on, opera has constantly been undergoing changes-Peri gave the dramatic recitative, that is, he allowed the singing voice to depict the ideas expressed. Cavalli's contribution foreshadowed the aria or set melody now prom- inent in Italian opera. Scarlatti marks the turning point between antiquity and modernity in stage music. Lulli iss the most outstanding of the French contribu- tors. He used the chorus as an integral factor and invented the French overture, Monteverde, Gluck, Mozart and Beethoven all left their marks on opera. Opera next came under the control of lesser important people. It remained for Wagner to bring it back to its old standing. Probably no work will ever be conceived which will not show a trace of his influence. He thought that the arts of music, poetry, action, and scenery should stand on equal footing. This was a great contribution and his use of music gave a definite significance. Under his hand, the music was a How of combined melodies working together to a harmonious whole. Today, the art of operatic composition seems to be returning for its best results to its old home, Italy. The works of Mascagni and Leoncavello are now being performed in the leading opera houses. Undoubtedly the greatest of modern Italian composers is Giacomo Puccini, especially because of La Boheme, La Tosca, and Madame Butterfly. His work is on a lighter basis than Wagner's and can be easily distinguished by the irresistable attractiveness of its melody. His latest, The Girl of the Golden VVest,l' deals with an American subject and appeared in New York in the season of 1910-11. Humperdinck is perhaps the best known of the German composers because of Hansel and Gretel, although Goldmark and Strauss are now achieving fame. Foremost among the French composers is Saint-Saens, his best known work being Samson and Delilah. Massenet, author of Le Cid and Heriodiade, and Car- pentier, author of Louise, are prominent French composers. There are many offshoots of opera, the chief among which is opera comique or Singspiel. It really is opera interspersed with spoken dialogue, not necessarily of a humorous nature. Another type is the operetta or short opera. It originally was a one-act light opera frequently employing spoken dialogue. The general style is lighter and of less imposing proportions than the serious opera. The third type, of a somewhat lower grade, is musical comedy, a popular type of stage piece. It makes considerable use of music but of only the less exalted forms of the art. The English people like the form of opera known as the ballad opera. It I 162 1 ,i.L1.L...-l-.

Of more artistic merit and interest is the masque which really preceded opera. Originally developing in carnival processions through the streets of Italian towns, it was adopted in England during the reigns of Henry VIII and some succeeding monarchs. The plan of such works was the presentation of some allegorical idea upon a stage with descriptive music, both vocal and instrumental, and a large amount of dancing. Until recently, grand opera without a ballet was unknown. The great disad- vantage of ballet is that it breaks up the continuity of the story, and as far as music is concerned, a complete difference in style is often necessary. With a growing appreciation of artistic truth in opera, the ballet has fallen into the background. The American people are fast learning to appreciate grand opera more and more. Each year many operas are produced in our American opera houses, the largest and best known of which are the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and the Chicago Opera House in Chicago. It is hoped that our opera will some- time be on a par with the opera of European nations. ELLA M. JOHNSON. LA GRANDE DAME, MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINK During the past century many of us have been privileged to hear famous singers, but few have endeared themselves to the hearts of the people the world over as has Madame Ernestine Schumann-Heink. She was born near Prague, Austria, in 1861, the daughter of an army officer. At the age of three, Ernestine began to sing, repeating the songs that her mother sang. Her grandmother's prediction was, The world will yet speak of Ernestinef' Ernestine's childhood was not spent in happy surroundings. Her father was a very stern man. He received such small pay that many times the children went hungry. Their home contained furniture made from packing boxes, and the mat- tresses were sacks Hlled with straw. Her father was being continually transferred from one station to another, giving the family little chance to make friends. At the age of twelve, T ini, which was Ernestine's nickname, was sent as a day pupil to a convent school in Prague. VVhile there one of the sisters discovered the beauti- ful quality of her voice. From that time on, she received instructions from various teachers and singers who became interested in her and recognized that the future held for her. great promise. At the age of sixteen, Ernestine made her first pub- lic appearance in Graz and received about six dollars for her efforts. Managers of operas gave her no encouragement, feeling that her looks and personality were very much against her. She was exceedingly homely. and of necessity dressed poorly, her shoes being made by the soldiers in the barracks. But Tini was per- sevcring, and when she was seventeen years of age she went to Dresden. There she succeeded in obtaining, with the Royal Opera, a three-year contract signed by the king. It was at this theatre that Tini sang with great success, her first grand opera role, that of Auzucena in Il Trovatoref' During her first year at Dresden she sang entirely by ear. The next year she was afforded the opportunity of singing at a vesper service every afternoon, for practice. Then, under the direction of a well-known conductor, Professor Franz Wiillner, she learned to read music. As her voice had a tremendous range, she was given the tenor and soprano parts to sing as well as the contralto. Ernestine's life moved along for three years without any great changes, and then came the first great misfortune of her life. She met and married, without the permission of the Intendant of the opera, a man by the name of Heink. It was written in all contracts that no young singer should marry without this permission. Because she broke this rule, she lost her position. The tragedy proved to be two- l163:I Ti ' i' 'QI 4 5 Eiameaeeminn WEPITLWZB ml fold as her husband, being Secretary of the Royal Opera, met the same fate. Their life for the next four years was a brave struggle against poverty. Four children were born, and Ernestine was able to secure only occasional opportunities for earn- ing any money with her voice. Mr. Heink, who had sometime previously secured a position in the Custom House, was transferred from Hamburg, where the family was then living, to Saxony. This left his wife to bear alone the problem of sup- porting her children and securing enough money to pay her husband's debts. It is a law in Germany that a woman can be held responsible for any bills which her husband contracts. It was at this time that Ernestine secured her divorce from Mr. Heink. After singing minor parts with the opera at Hamburg, an opportunity came to her to sing the leading role in Carmen, because of a quarrel between the prima donna and the director. This led to other opportunities. Having convinced them of her ability, she was offered a contract for ten years with this opera. Connected with the theatre was a wonderful actor and a brilliant scholar by the name of Paul Schumann. Despite the fact that Ernestine Heink was a Roman Catholic and a divorced woman, while Schumann was a Protestant, they were mar- ried. Schumann had one son who grew to be as dear to Ernestine as any of her own children. Now came one of the greatest moments in Ernestine Schumann- Heink's career-a break which meant a complete change in her work, her home, and, one might say, her nationality. She had turned her face towards America and signed a contract with Maurice Grau for the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York. Soon after they sailed for the United States, Madame Schumann- Heink made her first appearance in America in Chicago, November 7, 1898. The role was that of Ortrud, in Lohengrin. Her debut in Chicago was followed by appearances in New York where her success was as great. Her first successes in America were interspersed by seasons in London and Germany. After severing her connection with the Metropolitan Opera Company, she was -under contract to appear in comic opera. The Schumann family was in Germany when she reached this decision. Leaving her husband and children there, she returned to America to begin rehearsals for Love's Lottery. Little did she realize that she would never see her husband again. He died in November as she was opening her sea- son in Boston. The following April, Madame Schumann-I-Ieink's mother-in-law, who had always taken care of her children, died. Now she was alone in the world with eight fatherless children and no one to turn to. It was impossible to continue with her career and care for her children at the same time. The next month she mar- ried a Mr. William Rapp, who was her secretary. She felt that by doing this, she was securing protection for herself and her children, but it worked just the reverse. Upon arriving in Germany she found that because of her marriage to a foreigner, she must forfeit all rights to her children, property, and money. She finally suc- ceeded in getting her children to America, and established a home for them in New York City. Nothing of importance happened for several years excepting Ernestine's sep- aration and divorce in 1914 from Rapp. She continued her winter seasons in America, returning to Europe during the summer. VVe find her singing in Bey- reuth at the outbreak of the World War. After considerable difficulty, William Jennings Brian cabled the consul-general in Coberg that it was his duty to help all Americans in Germany, and arrangements were made for Schumann-Heink to re- turn to the United States. When leaving Beyreuth, she placed on the front of her car an American flag, which she always carried. At that time our flag was greatly respected in Germany. and it was the means of opening every gate to her between there and Rotterdam. 2: F1641 E 191eoi2.i1ef1rfito12.rfALwzstll f 1 I . ,..-.-...YE K-1 Y . . - - The following winter Schumann-Heink's health was very poor and she went to make her home in California. In 1915, her oldest boy left America to fight for his own country, Germany, for which he gave his life. During the same year, she lost a second son, Hans, of typhoid-pneumonia. Early in the spring of 1917, she had a severe accident, resulting in five broken ribs. VVhile she was in Chicago recovering from this, America declared war on Germany. This changed every- thing in the world. Although being an American citizen, Schumann-Heink was Austrian-born. What she went through during the war is not easy to describe, as one son was lighting for Germany, and four for America. Feeling that she had little left after giving her sons to the war, she gave freely of her voice for the bene- fit of the soldiers who were in training in America. The year 1927 rounded out for Madame Schumann-Heink a half a century of giving to the world her glorious voice and marking her Golden Anniversary of Song. To few have been given experiences such as has come to her. Her career overlaps those of a multitude of distinguished persons and her heart is filled with memories of them and of her own rich life.

AMERICAN MUSIC From the beginning of history, music has been a guiding power of man, a power that has made the task of humanity a dream, the power that has continually urged man on to a happier and higher existence. It may have been the soft hush of a mother's lullaby that caused some heart to take an upward path, or the sweet notes from the shepherds flute that made the task a joy. It may have been a sweet strain that told to God the desires of man's heart. Ludwig Van Beethoven's music is an absolute reflection and expression of his life. He made known his thoughts, desires, ideals, and emotions to God and man through his music. just as Ludwig Van Beethoven could not live without his melody, so American people need their music to give life its fullest value. Until recently European influences have dominated American creative spirits, thus delaying the unfolding of a true native style, such as we find in older countries. Even so, America is looked upon as one of the musical centers of the world. European critics have sometimes censured, sometimes praised those American- isms they hear in our musical compositions, but they always seem to admire the theme, the gentle swing, the fanciful purpose that pervades our music. One of Americas first composers was Wm. Billings of Boston whose works were principally hymn tunes. He was followed by other individualistic American musicians, in the first half of the nineteenth century, such as Stephen Collins F os- ter and Louis Goetschalk. Stephen Iioster was America's best folk song writer. He was born on July 4, 1826, in Virginia. His father was a talented violinist and his mother a gentle. Southern maiden of high culture. Foster is said to have been a very timid child and extremely modest. Although he attended Jefferson College, he was always a rather aimless pupil and largely self-taught. When only seven years old, he taught himself to play the Hageolet. Later on, he studied the German classical composers. His first success in composition was, Chl Susannah. After this he wrote many songs. My Old Kentucky Home, and Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground, show how thoroughly he was in sympathy with Southern life and how well he could picture it in tones. He often attended negro camp meetings, and studied the music of the negroes in order to interpret it more vividly. His masterpiece is, The Old Folks at Home, Q VVay Down Upon de Swannee Ribberuj. As someone has said, A more tender lyric of home and its memories has never been written.

During this period our country was going through some critical moments, which have been the inspiration for some of our best-loved songs as Dan Emmett's Dixie, George F. Root's Battle Cry of Freedom, and Henry Clay VVork's Marching through Georgia. Among the least educated of American composers, yet one of the most gifted, is Ethelbert Nevin. The Rosary, Mighty Lak' a Rose, and Narcissus have won for him a large place in the affections of the people. His brother, Arthur Nevin, is one of the few American composers who have had the distinction of having an opera performed in Europe. Poia, performed in Berlin in 1910, placed him among the nationalistic composers. Quite different from former times is the music of Charles VVakefield Cadman, which we all love so much. American Indian tunes are his particular themes. They retain, however, little of their original savage touch. One of his best-loved compositions is, Land of the Sky-Blue VVater. Today, all are acquainted with John Philip Sousa. His compositions are of a lighter vein and are full of inspiration. His marches are famous the world over. America has a style of music the development of which is truly her own. This recent type of music is Jazz. Its elements come from the colored people of the South, but America has refined and reproduced these effects into syncopating melodies. Musicians tell us that strictly speaking, jazz is counter-point, that is, part- playing-the placing one part or theme against one or more others instead of hav- ing it supported by different chords. Thus Jazz is left to the originality of the player, who weaves an original theme about a known composition. A number of our recent compositions contain jazz effects. Among the best examples of this are the ballet, Krazy Kat, by that original genius, john Alden Carpenter, and Symphony in Blue. by George Gershwin. Leo Sowerly, winner of our first scholarship for study at Rome, has included Jazz effects in a piano concerto and in several chamber works. Edwin Burlingame Hill has composed a two-piece study in Jazz which has been put into orchesfral form. Briefly, we have considered a few of Americas outstanding composers. In this way we have come to realize that some of our best-loved music is that of our native countrymen. American music is young yet, but we are looking forward to a glorious fu- ture. 'fIn time, someone has said, American composers will reach the level achieved by foreign composers. Hlllusic is a kind of iuarticulate, fmfafhomable speech that leads us to the edge of the Infinite. -THOMAS CARLYLE. THE KING'S HENCHMAN The barrier which for so long has been set against American music has at last been swept aside by the elforts of Deems Taylor and Edna St. Vincent Millay in their opera, The King's Henchmanf' The critics pronounce this new lyric drama, the best American opera the public has heard. In the Anglo-Saxon chronicles Miss Millay found the story for this opera. She put aside the idea held by some, that American operas should be on American themes. In keeping with the story, the poet has carefully chosen the speech of her actors, making it archaic English, avoiding the use of words which might owe their origin to the Normans. l16Tl I -.ma . it ,i , p. . 1 vw --P W , 5 f' 'f'-M'-W A -' --'-Y-' A- A-W - 'Y---ff I ! 1 il.9.T.Q5Q132,fQ.Efkfi1Nl?..IIilFIiIfIf-f'?Ql 1 l . . l- r . , , The chronicles tell of Eadgar, a gay young person, being crowned in 973. He hears of the beauty of Aelfthryth, daughter of Odgard, Earl of Devonshire and sends Aethelwold, his favorite courtier, to get her for his queen. Upon see- ing her, Aethelwold falls in love and marries her, sending word to King Eadgar that the lady is wealthy but not desirable. Later, the king makes the couple a visit. Aethelwold, unhappy because of his deception, now confesses to his wife. In spite of her love for Aethelwold she is furious at the thought of being cheated of a crown. Her husband pleads with her to disguise herself so as to look ugly to the king. Instead she appears before His Majesty wearing her best silks and precious jewels. Aelfthryth wins the king's heart as she intends to do. The king sends Aeth- elwold to the war with the Danes and he is killed. Then the happy widow becomes ueen. q Miss Millay has made few variations of the legend in her story. The king she has made worthy of holding such a title. Aethelwold is His Majesty's dearest friend. Aelfthryth is renamed Aelfrida. At the end, a more dramatic action is made by having the henchman kill himself. The work is in three acts, the first and third containing the most movement 3 the second slow, the thoughts of love and romance predominating. The New York H erald-Tribime, in reference to the work of art Mr. Taylor has given us in his score, states: Mr, Taylor has woven a deft and often lovely sounding score about a superb poetic text-a text pithy and glamorous and full of character g rich in humor and dramatic force, rich in imagery that is often startling in its beauty and its swift felicity. His score is in the worthiest sense theatrically planned and developed. It is obvious that he wrote with his eye on the stage, with his intelligence responsive to its tyrannous requirements. Furthermore, he has given musical voice to English words. It is the writing of an expert craftsman, an artist of sensibility and warm re- sponsivenessf' Mr. Taylor has avoided one of the commonest errors made by amateur opera writers, that of having the action of the play stopped while the orchestra plays long passages to explain, interpret, or intensify the situation. As the curtain rises, one sees the great hall of Eadgar at Wiiichester. About the big table sit the king and nobles who have been banqueting. On the opposite side of the room are the women who have been sewing and talking. All faces are turned toward Maccus who is singing to his harp a song about Cynewulf. Into the midst of this merrymaking group enters Aethelwold, Eadgar's foster-brother and friend. Finally the king succeeds in persuading Aethelwold to go to Devon- shire to get Aelfrida. The act closes as the henchman starts on his mission, hav- ing pledged with cup and sword to his king. The second act opens with Aethelwold and Maccus, his man, lost in the wood near Devon. Aethelwold sits down by a tree and falls asleep, while once more Maccus searches for the road. A fable tells that a girl may, by some magic power on I-Iallowe'en, see in this wood the man who is to be her husband. Aelfrida enters with her woman, Ase. The former comes upon Aethelwold sleeping. The following scene shows the two telling of their love. But alas! Aelfrida tells her name. In utter despair at this disclosure, Aethelwold leaves her, only to be recalled by her maid, Ase, to the forest. He sends Maccus to the king with the deceiving message. In the third act we find the wife discontented and her husband unhappy be- cause of his deception. g f168:I . I i .- ,H , - L.

The action here in- creases with the entrance of Aelfrida to the end of the act, which closes as the bearers depart with the body of Aethelwold. The demand for an American opera has again been met. Through this pro- duction we will no longer look upon the English language as incongruous for opera because it is unsingable. However, time alone will tell if the success of this Amer- ican work will place it in the ranks of Wagner, Puccini and Rossini whose operas have lived through the ages. ELIZABETH HAGAR. THE HOUSE OF DAMROSCH Musical America owes more to the Damrosch family than to any other trio of musicians. The rise of grand opera, particularly the German opera, the American oratorio societies and choruses, the symphony orchestras, the performance of fine music by and for children, and the music in our public schools have been either founded, sponsored, or nourished by the great Leopold Damrosch and his two equally great sons, Frank and Walter. Dr. Leopold Damrosch was born in Posen, Prussia, on October 22, 1832. As a child he studied violin and piano, and became passionately fond of music. His parents, however, decided that he should study medicine as a profession. Accord- ingly, he attended the University of Berlin and returned to Posen to practice. But he so loved music that he gave up his profession for the study of counterpoint and composition. In 1855 he started out as a concert-violinist. He made the acquaint- ance of the great composer, Liszt, who persuaded him to write for a musical periodical. Damrosch met and married the lovely Helene von Heimburg, who had a beautiful soprano voice. They made their home in Breslau, Silesia. Their first child, named after Richard Wagner, died. Next came Frank, born in 1859, Wal- ter, in 1862, and a little sister named Marie. Dr. Damrosch found musical condi- tions here miserable and did not rest until he had founded a regular symphonic orchestra. The great artists of the day who came to take part in the subscription concerts usually stayed with the Damrosch family. Here, in this simple but cul- tured home, were entertained Liszt, Wagner, von Bulow, Clara Schumann, Taussig, Joachim, Auer and Henselt. Living conditions in Breslau became more and more severe after the Austro-Prussian War. Damrosch, at heart a Republican, found great difficulty in making a living where all affairs were under the Prussian bureaucracy. The majority of the people were unsympathetic towards art and the modern German music. His reputation as a leader reached New York, and in 1871 he was invited to come to New York as conductor of the Arion Society. This was a small opening but it gave promise of development and better living conditions for his family. Much as Damrosch and his wife hated to part from the country in which they had grown up, they bravely turned their faces to a strange land. They took a house on East 35th Street. Here the youngest child, Elizabeth, was born. The two boys were put into a public school. They also resumed their piano lessons. What fun they had, enacting for their delighted relatives and close family friends, the very operas their talented father produced! They even built their little opera house, and while one manipulated the actors and scenery, the other would play the accom- panying music on the piano. In 1873 Leopold Damrosch founded the Oratorio Society of New York, with a chorus of only eighteen singers, Mrs. Damrosch leading the sopranos. From this small beginning an organization of three hundred and Hfty voices developed, the foremost of its kind in the New World. This led indirectly to the founding of f1691 . .-.,l--i, from ft . a a f 1 l g l,19ee12.r.E.if.ANDwvf12rTffzzsl' i tccmci tial the Symphonic Society in 1877. which gave Damrosch a chance to use his wonder- ful powers and capacities as an orchestral conductor and interpreter. At this time the only rival orchestra was that of Theodore Thomas. Feeling ran rather high, as each was the direct antithesis of the other. Both had their loyal supporters. New York was not as yet entirely educated in the love of the better forms of music, and it was hard work to keep both the new organizations going. Damrosch helped meet his expenses by giving lessons in violin, composition, and singing, by playing a violin solo here, or directing some performance of the Arion Society. In 1880, Dr. Damrosch planned to produce something hitherto unknown in America-a monster Music Festival which should last a week. He entrusted VValter Damrosch with the drilling of a portion of the great chorus of twelve hun- dred voices. He also thought enough of the musicianship of his son to have him make a piano score of Berlioz' Reqiem, one of the numbers to be presented. Walter did this while studying French one summer at Amherst College. The great Festival was attended by an audience of ten thousand people every day. Damrosch was acclaimed the greatest of An1erica's musicians. All these organizations played a most important part in the musical life of New York City, but Leopold Damrosch's greatest achievement was yet to COINS. In 1882 a certain group of rich New Yorkers built the Metropolitan Opera House. Operatic stars such as Nilsson and Patti were engaged, but there was no real musicianly or artistic head of the enterprise. As a result, good performances were accidental, since the stars did not bother to rehearse and the choruses were poorly trained. The first season ended in bankruptcy and failure. The men be- hind the undertaking saw that Italian opera was on the wane and asked Dr. Dam- rosch to conduct for the next season. He decided to inaugurate a season of Ger- man opera, which had been rather looked down upon in America. With fine artists and an excellent stage manager of his own choosing, he used the New York Symphony Society as the accompanying orchestra. He imbued his principals, chorus and instrumentalists with such fervor and ideals of perfection that the public literally seethed with ardor and enthusiasm. The operas were of course by German composers and sung in German by German artists. Le Prophetef' Lohengrin, and Die VValkf1re were especially well received. Besides the terribly long rehearsals, the worry and care of all affairs, financial as well as musical, Dr. Damrosch had the rehearsing of the Symphony and Choral Societies upon his shoulders. The great task began to take toll of his strength. During a rehearsal in February, 1885, he became ill. Pneumonia set in. The performances at the Metropolitan were conducted by young Walter. On the fif- teenth of February, Leopold Damrosch died. Imposing funeral services were held in the Opera House where he had given of his best towards making America a nation of music-loving and music-understanding hearts. Truly no tribute could repay all that he did, with a beautiful faith and firm belief in his work. Though often severely criticized and harshly condemned, he worked untiringly to give America her start on the road to complete knowledge and appreciation of the best in music. Upon the death of his father, VV alter Damrosch became assistant conductor of the lX'letropolitan Opera House The conductor was Edmund C. Stanton, a young man of no musical or managerial ability or experience whatsoever. Damrosch went to Europe to engage his artists: Lilli Lehmann, sopranog Emil Fischer, bassg Max Alvary, tenor, and Anton Seidl, conductor. The latter conducted the cream of the operas during the season, VValter Damrosch taking the ones Seidl did not want. The experience gained through work with his father, and now in handling and rehearsing temperamental stars and vast choruses, prepared the young man for his first great venture on his own in 1894. H701 I IQWGORHAWINORWALWZBFI l I The years between 1885 and 189-I were spent in inducing great European artists like von Iliilow, to come to America, and in studying and traveling in Europe. When on shipboard, in 1887. he met Andrew Carnegie and his wife, who were on their wedding trip to Scotland. Carnegie had known and greatly admired the elder Damrosch, and invited his son to visit them at Kilgraston. There fol- lowed happy parties at the lovely old place, with james G. Blaine, his wife and two daughters, Margaret and Harriet, as fellow house guests. Between times Dam- rosch conducted several concerts in London, which were very well received. In 1899, on the seventeenth of May, he married Miss Margaret Blaine. In the meantime, French and Italian operas were being produced at the Met- ropolitan by Maurice Grau. A group of Wagner admirers persuaded Damrosch to form another opera company which should perform German operas solely. So many seats were subscribed to when the Wagner Society Hrst met, that success seemed assured. Under the name of the Damrosch Opera Company, the finest operas were performed for live seasons in all of the principal cities of the United States. In 1891 Damrosch began an opera based on Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter. He produced it in 1896 in lgloston, with Gadski as Hester Prynne' and David Bispham as Chillingworth. In 1900 Maurice Grau invited Damrosch to return to the Metropolitan as sole conductor of the VVagnerian operas. Then in 1903, Harry Harkness Flagler, an ardent music lover and most kindly and generous in his help of rising American musical organizations, gathered together many other enthusiasts. These guar- antors persuaded Walter Damrosch to reorganize the New York Symphony as a permanently endowed and salaried orchestra. He entered into this work whole- heartedly, importing many line musicians. These, together with the excellent mem- bers who had played under Damrosch for years, formed an organization which immediately took first rank with any in the world. In 1913 he produced another of his own operas, this time Cyrano de Berger- ac. He initiated the Beethoven Festival, in which the orchestra performed the nine Beethoven symphonies in order of composition. The Festival ended with a double performance of the great Ninth'l Symphony, with hot coffee and sand- wiches served to the chorus and orchestra between times. In 1914 he received the degree of Doctor of Music from Columbia Univer- sity. Upon America's entrance into the W'orld War, he immediately sailed for Europe as a war-worker under the Y. M. C. A. With great difficulty he collected an orchestra which gave numerous concerts in Paris for the American soldiers and Red Cross nurses. Great artists like Cortot and Boulanger gave their serv- ices whole-heartedly. How the American boys cheered when they heard Dixie as performed by this great orchestra of seventy-seven men! The proceeds of other concerts were given to the families of orchestral musicians at the front. Through the helpfulness of General Pershing and various French officers, Dam- rosch was able to establish a bandmaster's school at Chaumont. Here the most proficient players gave concerts once a week for the pleasure of the other students in khaki. In 1919 the New York Symphony Orchestra was invited to visit France the following year. This was the first organization in our country to be thus honored by a foreign government. Again Mr, Flagler aided the organization most gener- ously. The passage alone for the entire company amounted to more than fifty thousand dollars. With the orchestra went two fine young American artists, Albert Spaulding, violinist, and John Powell, composer-pianist. The French were enthusiastic in their reception of the programs they presented in Paris. Equally line welcomes were given them in Bordeaux, Monte Carlo, Genoa, Rome, Antwerp, and London. l171l with 8 l :Vi9ee12.E.E.ifnnvtvitrTf.w253gf. 5 cl if ifiii Besides leading all these activities, Walter Damrosch has found time to write other compositions, give lectures which he himself illustrates on the piano, direct children's concerts, live a happy family life and write a line autobiography. How encouraging to young musicians is the story of his life! He says, The musical field in America is certainly wonderful in its possibilities-so much yet remains to be done that I long for at least one hundred more years of life, partly to continue my work but more to satisfy my eager curiosity as to the musical future of our people. The other Damrosch, Frank Heino Damrosch, shared the love and enthusiasm for music that was found in the rest of the family. Although he had studied piano as a boy, he was certain that the profession of music was not for him, that his talents along that line were inadequate. So he went to Denver, Colorado, at the age of seventeen, with only one hundred dollars in his pocket, determined to be a business man. He slowly worked his way up, but nearly starved for lack of that music on which he had been nourished from infancy. He founded there a choral society and added an orchestra, collected from the few musicians playing in the various theatres of Denver. Upon his father's death, Frank Damrosch became chorus master of the Met- ropolitan. He founded the Young People's Concerts at Carnegie Hall, supervised the public school music of the New York schools, and undertook the stupendous task of organizing the People's Choral Union. This was started in 1892. It consisted of working men and women to whom he taught the rudiments of music and singing. This immense group is still a very active one, the three thousand voices ring out in public concert every May, and the various classes meet on Sundays. In 1893, Frank Damrosch established a unique society-unique in that it con- sists of only trained singers, professionals, in fact. These sixty-five artists give only two concerts a season, and perform only the choicest and rarest compositions, such as the a capella choruses of Palestrina and Brahms. This society represents the highest perfection obtainable in choral singing. Besides this work, Damrosch has founded a musical school, ranking with the finest in this country and Europe, called the Institute of Musical Art. Between 1898 and 1912, he was conductor of the Oratorio Society. His ability as a peda- gogist, organizer, trainer and leader has meant much to America. Thus we have the trio comprising the great House of Damrosch-Leopold, the father, and Frank and Walter, the two sons. They have given their entire lives to the advancement of music in America.

The songs had to be written by students in the school. The conditions of the contest were as follows : I. A prize of ten dollars will be awarded to the person or persons writing a school song, both music and words being original. One person may write both words and music, or one person write the music, another the words. In the latter case the prize would be divided. The whole song must be written, accompaniment as well as melody. II. A second prize of three dollars will be awarded to the writer of the words of a school song set to semi-classical music. This type of music being music such as A Perfect Day, Mother Machreef' The Rosary, etc. III. A third prize of two dollars will be awarded to the writer of the words of a school song set to popular song music. IV. The songs must contain at least two stanzas. 4 V. VV hen the songs are ready to pass in, they are to be handed to Miss Mabel Ryan. Each person who competes is to make up a pen-name, which must be written plainly at the top of the paper, instead of his own name. At the end of the contest, Miss Ryan will hand these songs to the judges, Miss Nellie McCann, a resident of Gorham and the president of the Annie Louise Carey Club, Mr. Louis VVoodward, and Miss Miriam Andrews for consideration. VI. If it happens that there are several songs receiving honorable mention, but not prize songs, these will be learned and sung, and placed in the song-book as well as the others. VII. If several people compete for a certain prize, and none of the songs are worthy of consideration. the judges will have the power to withdraw that prize. There were several songs submitted for each of these prizes. The judges did not feel, however, that the songs written for the second and third prizes were up to the standard, although there were some very good points in their favor. The judges withdrew the prizes for these two types of songs. There were several very excellent songs submitted for the hrst prize. The judges considered three things in judging them, first the music itself. Was it tuneful, melodious, and pleasing? Did the ac- companiment fit the melody? 'Was it a song that would last, that we would be proud to add to our school songs? Second, the words were considered apart from the music, as a poem. Third, did the music fit the words, and the words the music? In other words, was the song Hsingable P After considering these points carefully, it was decided to give the first prize, which was a ten dollar gold-piece to Ann Dante. This person proved to be Samuel Brocato of the Industrial Arts department and a member of the school or- chestra. Honorable mention was given to the song by Marie Thompson of the junior class whose pen-name was Florence Ford. The day the prize was awarded, there were appropriate exercises to fit the oc- casion. The school orchestra played several selections, and the two songs were sung by a group of girls to an enthusiastic audience. f17-lj L-L--. .-, i ' ?...,.g-Tgi--.,.,...L..----.DDQ.-.LL., f , I l zgfeogmrf NORMALNZQ I I 1 H 1- af- A gl l MID-SENIOR INDUSTRIAL ARTS BOYS Back Row: H.

H751 ,1..i....1.., I lf19'tG12.l1E,INf.flND WIHTLWZS tj ' A jUNIOR'S IDEA OF THE SHOP COURSE Maybe a course in Industrial Arts at Gorham Normal isn't very good exer- cise of the intellectual capabilities of a lad right from the top of the class of a well- known high school somewhere out in the countryside, but from the tales of one of these self-same lads we hear quite a different story. It seemed as if the pomp and splendor of Freshman Week as celebrated at the College was turned into an extra week of work. If the strain upon the cortex had anything to do with the expected position, he would be due to land in the White House presently. Such is the experience of nearly every industrial arts junior, at least we of the Class of '30 have found it so. Now things have begun to straighten out and we find ourselves the big joyous happy family under Principal Russell's care, assisted at our training by his kind, stern, sympathetic assistants, Messrs. Brown, Cilley, and Packard. We were taught at the first that we should never have to look around for work to do. In fact, we were informed that a Sheet Metal Shop was barely under construction in the brick building adjoining the shop, and that we were to be archi- tects. For a few days we were truly thrilled at our plans. First, across one end, was to be erected a locker arrangement, all to be built intact and to consist of about twenty-four large-sized lockers. A table was next constructed suitable for the mounting of the necessary ma- chines of a well-equipped shop. Such things were always Cseeminglyj gotten up that we might not suffer the disgrace of being out of a job. There were always the streaks of joy and wonder, however, at the completed problem. We do not forget the time the sander got away from us on the wild expanse of that table top, or the time Cal Coolidge was found sitting flat on that dirty cement floor with those new knickers on, doing his bit at breaking those patented drills of Dana Cummings' and Sammy Brocato's. At the outset of the bench construction, things seemed to be warped', in general. Fact was, the planks were persistently threatening to curl up to resemble a hedgehog going to sleep for the winter. It demanded the brawn and integrity of one Charles Landerkin to straighten them out. Then Dean in the hurried super- vision of his crew of leg constructors got one crossed and Mr. Brown said, They came on with the cramps at the same time. After Ray Currie had finished that job-of-his-own of setting the plates, the thing straightened out and truly, I don't believe for a minute that there's a student at G. N. S. that will outlive it. From the clang and glamour heard there and the shining brightness of the dishpans, canteens, cake cutters, washboilers, water pails. and whatnots turned out there, one would think that no small factory had sprung up in Gorham. If one were to visit the woodworking shop now he would find great changes there, too, since last September. The thing is literally full of nearly completed chairs, dining tables, china closets, library tables, desks, cedar chests, and come- and-see-for-yourselfs. Another task we are trying to complete is to make a book concerning tools and their uses. If you have ever tried to write a story or poem, you can imagine the chaos and confusion of a class of unromantic industrial arts boys compiling a question and answer book, covering hundreds of tools. Most of the members of the so-called Academic Courses have a tough time with their studies and ten to fourteen spare periodsg while the industrial arts boys have a holiday with their thirty full periods each week with customary out- side work in drafting, theory, history of feducation, psychology, civics, etc. The biggest change has taken place in the individuals themselves. The dex- terity of their fingers in woodwork and mechanical drawing is amazing. Ask Mr. Cilley, even though he sometimes puts a nigger in the woodpile. NEIL O. DEANE, .ALFRED K.

This was to be used for sheet metal work. It was readily completed with the cooperation of the boys and the excellent supervision of our instructors, Mr. Brown and Mr. Cilley. . TVith this task completed, we were ready for forging. The boys were assigned to their forges by Mr. Cilley. Instruction was given on how to build a fire in a forge. Our first project was to make staples. In making this project we were taught the different degrees in heating and also the process of drawing out, and the use of several tools. Many new processes were learned while making other useful articles such as gate hooks. meat hook. pipe hook, chain grab hook, hexagonal head fbolt, stone drill, prick punches, nail sets, chisels and links. There was one great disadvantage and that was, the shop was always very cold. In fact it was so cold that Mr. Cilley had to wear three frocks and a pair of rubber boots to keep from freezing. After completing our chisels, prick punches a11d nail sets, the next thing was to draw file, grind, and polish them. One day, while draw filing, Grierson was found leaning on his file, sleeping. Forging is thought by some people to be a waste of time because the articles can be bought much cheaper, but that is not the idea of the course. Forging is taught here at Gorham not only to be used in teaching but as an aid to the future teacher. In case he is in a school where different articles may not be furnished, this instruction will enable him to forge them. Many times the boys lost their temper, but as a whole the course was liked by all. lt was completed two weeks after Christmas recess. V. CoNNoRs, G. XTERCIIZR. rm-1 19wenLLwANnWfprTL-125 I I .. E... , , I ll ,li94Ci012.tkf1rfLtii'12fItfQfiigvZ8'if A J i as , , A BRIEF STORY OF THE NYOOD-TURNING COURSE This might be classed under a different heading such as lathe work, but these headings do not mean much to the average student, as he does not deal with that line of work. The word lathe as Mr. Webster states it is, A machine by which a piece of hard material is held and rotated while being shaped by a tool. Wood- turning is taught in the Gorham Normal School by Mr. Brown to the second-year students of the industrial arts course. It is a very fascinating course as there are a great many different objects that can be made in lathe work such as candlesticks, reading lamps, floor lamps, fruit and nut bowls. Besides the useful articles there are many ornaments that can be turned out. Before these finished products are turned out there is a long list of preliminary work that comes at the beginning of the course. This consists of learning the dif- ferent parts of the machine and the use and care of it. The first turning consists of a long list of models which are required of every student in the course. In addition to this general requirement, there was wished upon this year's class the job of making a-large amount of equipment for the shop. This consisted of mallets, screw driver handles, chisel handles, and awl handles, each student having to do his part. , It might be well to touch upon the personnel of the class. First comes the period when the class is working on the models which may be the hardest part of the course. As the different tools come into use, each one meets its opposition. One of the first was the skew chisel which Mr. Cummings declared war upon at the very start of the course. Through the able efforts of Mr. Brown, the so-called Cohen has reached the stage of using the chisel in a very efficient manner, each one having his mishaps with these different tools, Mr. Cummings has been trying his best to get Mr. Brown to use this above-named skew chisel and see it catch on him so that the class might have a good laughg but Mr. Brown evidently has pre- viously had his chance and now prefers for us to have ours. Along with the lathe work itself is the care of the room of which a part is the sweeping of the floor on every Friday. When it is time to sweep, it is very unusual if Mr. Grierson is within hearing distance. Of course everyone knows that Mr. Grierson is very girl-shy, we will tell you now that he is also very broom-shy. Then there is Mr. Brocato, he is going to take a special course in learning the different kindsof wood. A short time ago he placed in the lathe, as he stated it, a piece of maple and when it was turned and removed it turned out to be GUM WOOD. If any of you readers happen to see a chair with three maple legs and one of gum wood. you may feel pretty sure that it is a piece of Mr. Brocato's work. The wood-turning room is located on the side of the shop where the girls pass by on their way down to the junior high school for observation. It is a very common thing to see Mr. Connors gazing out of the window at certain intervals. We will leave it to the reader's own discretion whether or not Miss Gunderson has observation at the junior high. Mr. Young is another member of our class and as yet he has not acquired the right method of keeping his stock between centers. So if you should be visiting the shop at any time we warn you to make careful observation that his stock is not fiying across the room at the time you are about to enter. No offence boys, in the personnel. just good-natured fun, you know, to remind us fifty years hence of the good old times in G. N. S. Now to close, we wish to say to our readers: The wood-turning room is located in the western corner of the shop on the first fioor. We take this oppor- tunity to extend to any of our readers a cordial invitation to, at any convenient time, pay us a visit.

MACHINE SHOP ' Last September when the boys returned to school, they were all anxious to work on the lathes and in the machine shop. Mr. Brown gave us a short talk on the machine shop and the lathes and what he expected us to do this year. He then divided us into two groups. This made it possible to give each group one semester in each subject. . Our group soon took our places in the machine shop, Mr. Brown gave us a short demonstration on all the machines. He then gave out castings and steel for a vise. Our first work was to get out our spindles by sawing them to the right length. The power hacksaw was new to us, so Mr. Brown cut off the first piece then the rest all followed. VVe then had to turn the spindle down to size and cut the threads on it, leaving enough for a handle. Turning out the spindle for the handle with the knobs was the next step. In making the vise, two important parts, the stationary and the movable jaws, are in the form of rough castings which have to be milled on many sides to a smooth surface. This employs the use of the crank shaper which transfers the rotary motion of the pulleys to a horizontal reciprocal motion of the ram. First, the article to be surfaced is placed level in the vise of the machine, under the machine tool which can be adjusted. By a ratchet arrangement the vise hold- ing the stocks is moved slightly sidewise for a new cut. In this way a smooth, flat surface is obtained. Any flaw in work on the movable jaw is accosted by a jaw surely as movable. The drill press, holding drills Kg -1211 in diameter, is another machine of the shop. Its usefulness as a time-saver and for accurateness is appreciated by the boys. This is as certainly true of all machines. The work of the machine shop boys' has been very successful, which is due in largest measure to the careful supervision by our instructor, Mr. Brown. C. BRADSTREET, L. E.

MacDonald, S, Riley, P. Ames, K. Macomber. THE SHEET METAL DEPARTMENT Sheet Metal VVork is a new subject at Gorham Normal School, being intro- duced during the winter of 1928. This was brought about by the change of the industrial arts course from a two- to a three-year course. The tools and equipment arrived early in the fall of 1927. The juniors, under the guidance of Mr. Brown, were put to work at once on the unpacking and setting up of the machinery. Racks for the hand tools, benches, and tables had to be made. In due time the juniors had all of these completed and in place, ready for their Big Brothers to take possession. One cold morning not long after Christmas vacation, the advanced seniors lined up in the New Tin Shop. They looked at one another and then from the instructor to a huge pile of sheet metal at the other end of the room. About the same thought ran through all of their minds, What are we expected to do with all that metal P During the weeks that followed, their question was answered to their satisfaction. The hrst thing made was a rivet pan, then a plain, round cookie cutter, and then another cutter of any design, that we might choose, of some animal. VVe made a very convenient dustpan with a long handle on it so one would not have to stoop when taking up the dirt. XV e black enameled them, and shellaced the handles. YV e next made a match box. This was so made that one could insert the whole box of matches at the top and when needing a match, could take it from the bottom until the box was empty. We black enameled these also. Next came a quart measure, our first cylindrical problem, whereby we had to fit a bottom on to the side of the cylinder. VV e next made a very attractive window box, and to our minds they looked so well that we advertised a limited mnnber for sale. As far as I know there were not any sold. CI can't imagine why lj VVe next made a fudge pan. The real candy lovers made two on account of their substantial appetites and the small size of the pan. Along with this we made a tin clipper, a steamer to sit in the top of a tea kettle when steaming bread. Each made a water pail which appeared at first to be oval in shape, but by the time they were completed. they really did look more round than they did oval. Next we made a canteen. After wc completed these the first thing we did was to fill them with water to see if they would leak. Some were successful in making them tight the first time while others H811 ,. . . 1 , A i - 1 ...E . . . M.. . . .. wwf, . 1 , ,V , -...ff Y .-,.., .,. , ..

Among the things chosen were funnels, waste baskets, garbage cans, camp stools, filing cabinets, tool boxes, sand table for the junior high, and many other useful things. It is now the end of the year and that huge pile of metal has vanished. In its place one will find a great number of projects, carefully worked out and finished in the most workmanlike manner. So in concluding we think that we can safely say the sheet metal course, is proving itself useful, as well as successful. THE SHEET METAL WORKERS. THE PRINTING DEPARTMENT Among the Manual Arts of this age there is none more important to the ele- mentary school than printing. The boy starts going to school in the first grade and it is from here until he ends his school life that he lives on books or is what is called by economists a consumer of printing. It is due to the continual use of these books that his curiosity is aroused as to how they are made. To deprive the child of such knowledge is keeping from him one of the greatest lessons that the school can teach. It is with this in view and with the increasing demand for teachers of printing that our State Department of Education has put printing into the industrial arts course of the Gorham Normal School. During the summer and fall of 1927, the printing equipment was installed. This necessitated the addition of another teacher. Mr. Everett Packard, a graduate of the Gorham Normal School in the class of 1921, teacher of Industrial Arts at Castine Normal School '25 and '26, was elected to this position. On Sept. 9, 1927, nine members of the advanced seniors, namely, Mr. Ames, Mr. Brown, Mr. Dunton, Mr. Harriman, Mr. Lessard, Mr. Macomber, Mr. Mac- Donald, Mr. Quinby, Mr. Riley, returning for their last year at G. N. S. found that they had been equipped with a very complete outfit for printing. Their number was increased with the addition of Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Chick and Mr. Savage from the entering class. Mr. Harris, a graduate of the class of '24 returned to take the third year work bringing the membership of the class to thirteen. QA very lucky num- ber, as has been proved throughout the year.j The first thing to be done is to unpack and place the equipment. Every one took hold of it with high spirit After the arranging of materials and machinery, the real work of Learning all there is to know about printing was started. The first thing was to learn the job case and become acquainted with the type as to size, and style. The type is set up in a composing stick and the words read from left to right as in ordinary composition, the only difference being the letters are upside down. After the copy is set up a proof is taken and the necessary corrections are made. The form is then locked up or made ready for the press. The operation of the press requires quick thinking and accurate handling of the paper that is being printed. If it is placed in the press at a slight angle the print is greatly exaggerated, therefore the paper is spoiled. Cleanliness is another large factor in the success of the print shop. One has to work in the print shop to realize the amount of notes used at G. N. S. just to mention Civic Notes, Bird Notes, History of Education Notes, Geography Notes, in the print shop is to cause an uproar that is not easily quelled. The members of the industrial arts course wonder how long the teachers of G. N. S. have been collecting notes in anticipation of a print shop in Gorham Normal. Two of our largest jobs that we have reason to be proud of are the 1250 Gorham Nor- mal School Hulletins and 12,500 sheets of stationery and envelopes for the Y. VV. C. A. We have everv reason to believe that jobs turned out with the inscription, Printed in the G. N. S. Print Shop are accurate in every detail, clean to the finest degree, and bound to please the most critical eye. G. N.

The final results showed the seniors somewhat be- hind the juniors. Congratulations, juniors! Your interest in the drive shows that you will certainly support athletics the years you are here and will be a shining example to the entering classes. The organization of the association is the same as it was when re-organized two years ago. It still consists of the Young Wo1nen's Athletic Association, the Young Men's Athletic Association, and the Council. The Council is comprised of the principal of the school, the two athletic directors, and three class representatives from each branch association. The efficiency of the entire organization is shown by the results obtained in the interscholastic and interclass athletics that it sponsors. l1841 I . iafbeaafmrf NORPMLWZ6 It i THE NEW PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM YOUNG MEN Many times a young man who applies for a position in a school is asked to take charge or help with the athletic program. This is primarily the reason for the new program in physical education at Gorham Normal School. Then, too, the modern trend of education tends toward the development of the body as well as the mind. This can be classed as a second reason for the change. When, the average young man, who is not athletically inclined, enters a school he usually leaves ath- letics to those who are so inclined. This is particularly true when the number of men is sufficient to give competition. The fellow who considers he hasn't a chance to make a team will disregard athletics entirely. The new program is designed particularly for that young man. Physical education is now considered a subject as formerly but its requirements have increased somewhat. In addition to the regular physical training period the young men are now expected to elect one or more of the major sports that are offered at the school. The new program is as follows: Required : Credit Physical Training, 12 hours Electives: Cross Country, 20 hours Basketball, 30 hours Baseball, 20 hours Tennis C20 hoursj, I 10 hours Winter Sports C20 hoursj, 10 hours Each young man is expected to elect at least 24 hours from the electives offered. Spring Track may be added and the credit offered for tennis may be increased as soon as the number of men and facilities justify these changes. YOUNG WOMEN A slight change has been made in the program for women for the same reasons as enumerated above. Interscholastic basketball is no longer a part of the physical education program. In its place each division, both in the junior and senior classes, had division teams. These teams played according to a schedule and pro- vided keen enjoyment to those who watched them, as well as the players themselves. By dividing the divisions into teams, Miss Colesworthy has been able to devote more time to a maximum number wishing to learn the fundamentals of basketball. Next year will, no doubt, witness an even more rapid growth in the develop- ment and interest of these teams. In addition to this, sports for other seasons of the year will probably be introduced. f1851 E L I l1,9rG12JlE,INfJ1ND Wmirrfzs A LETTER MEN CROSS COUNTRY E Burnham Lessard '28 Kenneth Wilfred Francis Vance Watson, '30 BASEBALL A Cecil Bradstreet Albert W.

Among them were the four veterans, Dunton, Lessard, Mercier, and Smart. liaith- fully, day after day, the squad covered the difficult three-mile course and before long began to show that it had the makings of a real cross country team. On October 18, the Deering harriers ran on the Gorham course. Gorham Normal also ran. Lessard starred for Gorham. Wihat a race! A triangular run between the fast hill-toppers from Canton, Freeport, and Czorham was held on the Gorham course October 25. G. N. S. placed second, yielding Canton a decisive win. llooper placed lirst for Gorham. The post-season race with Freeport on November 3 turned out to be a thriller. llopes were high for Gorham as Lessard and Hooper placed hrst. It was a close run, and it was only after a prolonged conference that the scorers announced the victory for Freeport by one point. The second annual schoolboy cross country run of the Cumberland County Atliletic Conference took place October 29, and, as last year, was held on the Cor- ham course. The following schools sent teams to compete: lVindham, Pennell lnstitute, Scarboro, Freeport, and Cape Elizabeth. The cup offered by Gorham Normal School to the school winning it for two consecutive years. was won last year by lYindham. This year, Cole of Pennell, again placed hrst, this time break- ing the Conference record. The linal score showed l'ennell in the lead, with the other teams in the following standing: lireeport 55, Scarboro til, XVindham Tl, and Cape Elizabeth l724S. The run itself took place at lfljill XM. and was wit- nessed by a large number of students, townspeople, and visitors. At noon, dinner was served the coaches and teams at liast llall, after which the cup and ten ribbons were presented. Though the linal score shows us behind in our runs. we are, nevertheless, very proud because we know that in every match our team gave its best and showed the true Gorham lighting spirit. Nliith six veterans to begin next fall a successful season is prophesied. l18Sl 1 r 'L i ,l 9lif?1?ffiiQf1 lff lT01llTuflL'b 6 y .

FARMINGTON STATIC NORMAL Scnoor. XVe were literally swept off our feet by the opening attack that Farmington uncorked on their home floor. XVhen we hnally came to earth, the game was half over and we were trailing by ten points. The second half was the most exciting one ever witnessed in Music llall. The game was lied three times the last two minutes of play but Farmingtoiz emerged, the winner. ln the second game of the series, the tables were reversed before a crowd, at Gorham.

TH li FAR M1NoToN-GORHA M llAs1qE'r1:ALL TROPHY i T Gorham Normal School discovered early this year an ardent booster of her athletics. This zealous fan was no other than Louis Chrissikos, a business man who has recently come to Gorham. Une of the many ways in which he tried to show his interest was by offering a silver loving cup for competition between the two state normal schools at Farmington and Gorham. The cup must be won three years in succession to gain per- manent ownership. The yearly ownership is determined by the largest total number of points in the two games played each season. This year Gorham gained temporary ownership of the l trophy by defeating Farmington by a fifteen-point margin. rlillli PINE 'Fnliiz liASKlC'l'lIAl.L lasiusuiz This league was organized through the efforts of Mr. lilroy Lafasce.

Perhaps these psychological facts accounted for the batting rampage in which our boys indulged. At home they garnered fifteen hits and at Yarmouth twenty-two to the three col- lected by the opponents in both games. Page Babe', Ruth and Larruping Lou. FARMINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The first game was played at the Warren League Grounds at Westbrook. Todd's pitching baffled us entirely and resulted in a whitewash. 'Nuff sed. Note: It is reported that it cost some of the boys forty cents for a shave after that game. At Farmington the bitter was turned to sweet. Lessard's pitching seemed as hard for them to decipher as Todd's had been at Westbrook. The feature of the game was McCrellis and the pop bottle. BRIDGTON ACADEMY At home we got the lead in the first inning. Bridgton tied it in the fifth and the game remained a deadlock until the ninth. In the ninth-oh well, look it up in the summary and imagine the rest. A good game nevertheless. At Bridgton the opponents got away to a four-run lead before we realized it. If the official scorer had Overlooked the first inning, we should have won, 5-3. FRYERURG ACADEMY First impressions-rain, rain, rain and then a ride to Fryeburg and back in a Mack truck with a canvas over our heads: next, a game in which Lessard struck out fifteen meng and, finally, the score. Again, 'nuff sed. At Gorham-the sixth inning: the score, 2-2: Gorham at the bat, two on, one out-a squeeze play. wet ball, two runs. Rah! One of the breaks of the game and in our favor.

WIEDEN The club was organized last year so it is still a young club in the life of the school. The charter members, who are still in school, are: Philip L. Ames, E. Burnham Dunton, Arthur M. Jensen, Alfred W. Lessard, Kenneth O. Macomber and Albert W. Quinby. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate interest in athletics and to create a feeling of close fellowship among the letter men of the school. It offers various awards to these men for unusual ability in sports and thus encourages them to elevate the standard of athletics. , The growth of the club has been from the original eight until at the present time it numbers about twenty. The letter men seem about equally divided among the various sports. The three major sports are: Cross country, basketball and baseball. Any athlete, who is awarded a letter in any of these major sports auto- matically becomes eligible to membership in this club. G CLUB AWARDS V For the first time in the history of athletics at Gorham Normal School, the G Club has awarded the campus cap and gold watch charm. The former is awarded to any one winning three players' letters during a school year and the second award is for this achievement two years in succession. The one to receive these honors is Chick Lessard, cross country runner of the first rank, basketball guard par excellence, and baseball pitcher of the finest. VVhen he is graduated this spring, Gorham Normal School loses one of her best athletes, not only in prowess but in true sportsmanship as well.

Especially interesting was the game between Fourth Floor, East, made up mostly of the senior A4 division, and Fourth Floor, Robie, whose team was com- posed of practically all the junior C2 division. It was a game of intense excitement and although it was not strictly a division game the gym was crowded with cheering spectators. Notwithstand- ing the fact that the seniors won by a large margin the game was thrilling from start to finish. 1 J When the whistle blew for the opening of the junior interdivision basketball game, there was intense excitement. Every junior was present to cheer her team on to victory and each team fought hard to bring home to her division the winning score. All the girls showed real spirit. When the final whistle told them the game was over, their rooters every reason to-be justly proud of them. This excellent spirit and enthusiasm on the part of the juniors, foretells how this new regime in basketball is to be accepted by the future classes at G. N. S.

It won't be long now, juniors, Before you're on that floor: But remember this above all things, Be sure and close your door.

POPULAR PRANCERS IN POETRY That the title Prancers is well known To all good Gorhamites has been shown By its great fame in spring and fall, We know them well--yes-one and all. The first that comes to our attention, And indeed we cannot help but mention, Are those we see out every day, Namely-Dillon and his Ermine. Two others often on the street Are Perry Smart and Marguerite, Besides, there's Doris and Phil Brown, So often seen about the town. Two athletes come next in line, They go together very line. If we named them they would be Just Mike Connors and his Gundy. Perhaps the most famous of them all Is Doris Morse and Orman Coggshall, Doris is never left in the lurch, We see them together even in church. In a back row in the movies on Saturday night We see Tim Carpenter and Sylvia White. Also at the movies we have seen Miss Dora Briggs and one Neal Deane. We must not forget our young sheik, Vance, Who takes his Elizabeth to prance. They take with them when they go, Adelaide Campbell and Albert Barlow. These aren't all, there are others, too, But it would take too long to tell them to you. So you see Prancing is a popular thing In Gorhamtown-both fall and spring.

The sun is shining with much radiant en- ergy through barren clouds, which are shedding droplets of rain on Corthell, snow on Robie, winds on East. Below, by the bird fountain, it is spring time. Glad trees are clapping their myriad hands while their branches champ angrily. All is calml Birds warble sweetly and flit swiftly hither and yon. All movement is still. Stimulus: How kind the day dawns! Me thinks 'twas never more Uamplitied in its connection before. Reaction: What meanest thou? Art suddenly weak? Try again! S timulus: The day functions in its usual way. At the ringing of the second bell the class will come to order. The report for the 1- Sense Organ: Cease! My receptors are vibrating to the birdlings on yonder foun- tam. Nerve Impulse: Joy of joys! I, at last, am borne on the glowing sea mists of Au- rora. Allow me to vaccinate one and all with this same boyant impulse. Nervous System: Do! Dol I've long since heard the cock crow his matin. 'Tix time the members of Gorham Normal School came to life. Reacting Mechanisons: Let us seat our- selves on yonder bench. -They are seated and all sing a song entitled Stimulus-Re- sponse Unit, which is the ringing of the bells in the dormatories. Needless to say it is 6.15 A. M. SCENE II The sun is spinning behind the Congre- gational church tower in all its glorious splendor. Members of the faculty blink at its brilliance. Seniors, like full blossomed roses, are wreathed in slumber, while inno- cent little juniors,-sweet rosebuds only, dream on. They are Orpheus's prisoners. SCENE III It is 6.30 A. M. The milk truck goes wheezing by with its milk cans synco- pating to the everlasting genius of Henry Ford. The corridors resound with yawns. SCENE IV It is 7 A. M., and fifty percent of the snores have ceased. Breakfast is begun by a petition signed by all present. Muffins ensue. SCENE V The pavement resounds with pattering steps. Trains, trolley, and automobiles dis- burse the remaining members of Gorham Normal. A normal school day has com- menced. Acr II, SCENE I Station G. N.

Student Announcer: Our morning ex- ercise will begin with the Chapel Chimes, followed by a pipe organ prelude. Student Announcer: On the platform before the assembled student body this morn- ing is the unusual presence of our faculty. The first speaker whom I have great pleas- ure in presenting at this time is Mr. Rus- sell. CReceived with applausej Mr. Russell: On my desk I find these several announcements to be made. First, let me remind you that the fourth board bill -1- z-thzt Cstaticj is now due. CGreat weeping is desired, but not manifested on the part of the student bodyb Either lost, strayed, or stolen is the pointer on the sun dial. As this is a very great loss to the nature study class, will the pos- sessor of said pointer please return the pointer to said class? I thank you. CStamp- ing of feet and clapping of hands persists! Student Announcer: Mr. Woodward, I believe, has a word to say at this time. Mr. Woodward. Mr. Woodward: I would first like to quote some poetry- In the spring a young man's fancy, Lightly turns to thoughts of love, -Please let me remind the young men at this time that this is the spring of the year. fApplause is instantaneous and appreciated by ally Student Announcer: The Editor-in-Chief of the GREEN AND WHITE has something of interest to mention. Miss Emery. Miss Emery: Mr. Russell, members of the faculty, students. I received word this morning from our New York stock ex- change broker that the dividends from the selling of the 1928 GREEN AND WHITE year books, including the ads, were so great that the company has decided to Cut A Melon.
