Co Che Jfacultu You’re just a memory that comes, When the sandman’s trudgin’ by, And you go with me to dreamland And stick through smile and sigh. Your faces arc ever with me And your smiles are a beamin’, too, And don’t you think that I forget Those scoldings I went through. I thought you all Xantippes When you started in on advice; We hated to admit we were wrong. Though you did it just to be nice. But we kids couldn’t see it that way, To us life was just a song. Everything good, nothing was bad In this work as we plodded along. We couldn’t sec you wanted to keep The conception of life sweet and pure For us, the climbers of Fool’s Hill, For you knew what we must endure. But isn’t it the age old adage. That says with a twink of the eye, “Experience must teach the fools, On life’s highway as they trudge by?” So as you stay with me always In memory, truth, and dream. I’ll admit I’m one of those many fools, “And things arc not what they seem.1 But you. you’re true and earnest. And I’ve found you so e’en in strife, You who direct our childhood. You arc our pilots through life. SENIORS 18 GREEN AND WHITE Marion Emily Cousins, Stonington, Me.

A. ; Delegate to Maqua ; Business Manager of Green and White; Basketball (D, C) ; Aonea Club A girl in for everything, Yet has always time to spare. Her wit and capability Can't be beaten anywhere. Robert James Harris, “Bob“Robbie” Gorham High School Gorham, Me. Training, Grades V and VI Vice-President of the Class. ‘•'A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. Whenever we want the piano '‘jazzed” Bob is usually willing to oblige us. except when members of the fair sex are present. Then he pretends to be bashful but experience has shown that this is not so. If Robert arranges his lessons so as to be accompanied by the piano, we know he will have no trouble in securing his pupils’ attention. Irene Elizabeth Smith, “Rente” So. Portland High School So.

Training, South Windham Class Treasurer (D. C, B, A) ; Manager of Baseball (D, C) ; Managct of Basket- ball (B. A). I'll speak in a monstrous little voice. ’’Greg's” smiling countenance must have something behind it. as he has expressed many views on the theory of teaching which has caused Mr. Russell to ponder deeply. With a start like this he ought to be able to publish a book on “What to Teach and How to Teach It within a very few years. Gladys Artiielia Achorn, Morrill, Me. Belfast High School Training, Grade II Interclass Basketball (C) ; Delegate to Maqua (C) ; Treasurer of Y. W. C. A.; Y. W. C. A. Fair Committee (B) ; Vice- President of Pari Passu Club; Calendar Editor of Green and White. She’s witty and she’s clever, She never shirks, no, never “Glad has a well developed sense of humor which often crops out in most unexpected places. It is no wonder that Gladys has such a host of friends here as well as else- where. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 19 Clara Axoes Anderson. ‘'Andie'' Alfred, Me. Alfred High School Training.

We know from his experiences at G. N. S.. and with his good nature, he will win the hearts of his pupils, both boys and girls. Ruth M. Ballard. Portland, Me. Portland High School Training, Grade IV, So. Portland Treasurer of Gens de Lettres (A). We think that Ruth certainly believes in the saying. “Cast your bread upon the waters and it shall not return to thee void, for it is not only bread, but apples, cake, and cook- ies which she bestows upon any who chance her way at recess time. We appreciate her generosity and will always remember her, both for that and her lovable disposition. Ruth Hall Ballantyxe, Lincoln, Me. Mattanawcook Academy Training, West Gorham Gens de Lettres (A). “I do not know of any way so sure of mak- ing others happy as being so one’s self. Ruth will surely cure your worries and troubles.

A) ; Captain of Interclass Basketball Team (A) ; Organization Edi- tor of Green and White ; Duo-dc-Viginti Club (A). “Variety's the spice of life. “Al” is a Jack-of-all-trades and we have in the past wondered which appealed to her most, “the butcher, the Baker, or the candle- stick maker. But we wonder no more. GREEK AND WHITE Prances Isabelle Brown Bangor, Me. Bangor High School Training, Grades I and II, Westbrook Aonca Cl«b (A) ; House Committee (A). True as the needle to the pole, Or as the dial to the sun. You might think that Frances is a demure young lady, but when you know her. she is full of fun.

Iloulton High School Training, Junior Primary May Hall Committee (C) ; House Com- mittee B) ; Gens de Lettrcs (A). It is a good thing to laugh. One of lasu’s most outstanding talents is her gift for drawing. While some of us hold our brushes or pencils in a tight grasp, vainly striving to make something artistic. Lou with a few light touches has accomplished the task. With such talent as this, why shouldn’t she bring fame to G. X. S.? Phyllis Elizabeth Browne, “Phil” Rockland, Me. Rockland High School Training, Grade VII Glee Club (D. C) ; Ass. Editor Green and White; Rep. of Junior Class in Press Club; Operetta (C) ; Pari Passu Club (A). “Let us then he up and doing With a heart for any fate. Well.

South Portland High Training, Grade IV and V, So. Portland Pari Passu Club. “Short, plump, nice and rather sweet. With a ready smile for everyone she meets.” Wherever Ruth S. is found Hazel is there also, for they are always together.

Hollis High School Training, Sub-primary, Westbrook Pari Passu Club (A). “Life is too short for mean anxieties. Believing that worry shorten one's life, and having no desire to leave this fair earth be- fore her time, it seems to us that Mazie al- ways keeps her cheery smile.

To me came the honor of being entrusted with col- lecting material for the Alumni Department. I wish here to express to '23 the real pleasure I have had in reading the letters that have come from so many members. I shall endeavor to give to all the class something of the pleasure experienced by me. First we hear from Marion Quinn. Marion began her teaching in Ded- ham in August, but as her school closed in December, she is now teaching in Rumford but expects to return to Dedham. She has the junior primary and first grade and writes that she is “enjoying the outdoor sports and especially sports at night.” Does it recall Gorham days. Marion? Eleanor Soule is also at Rumford. She is teaching grade one there and and Mildred Pippert is across the river in Mexico. Look at Massachusetts for a report of Gorham. Gertrude Fait is teach- ing in Kingston, where there is a splendid public playground. She sends a picture of Lillian M. Emery of the class of '22. who is principal of the Memorial School in Pittsfield. X. H. It is claimed that she is the youngest principal in the state. Gertrude also informs us that Blanche De Costa of '22 is attending the University of Maine this year. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 53 Here is another who has deserted the Pine Tree State. Emma Shapleigh is teaching the second grade in Mansfield, Mass. She has forty Italians and says the work is hard but interesting. We find Eloise Millet, another of those who are representing '23, beyond our borders. She is teaching in Quincy, Mass., having first A and second B. Do “first A and “second B” suggest to Eloise now what they did while she was in G. X. S.? The world is a small place after all. Eloise teaches music under the supervision of Miss Maude M. Howes. Miss Howes was a member of the faculty at Lasalle Seminary last summer while several of the Gorham class of '24 were studying there. She sent kind remembrances to them. Eloise says, “I often think of the fine times we had at school and wish I could go back with the same bunch for a few days. Why not come for Alumni Day? Skip to Connecticut for a while. Ruth Jacobs is in Plainvillc doing de- partmental work in the eighth grade and has a class of sixty-four. She tells us that Helen Somers is in the same town, teaching the third grade. She wishes us “the best of luck,” which is a reminder of the Ruth of '23. Avis Groves is teaching the sixth grade in Avon, Conn. Avis tells us that Mrs. James Radcliffe (Dorothy Clark), of the class of '22, now lives at Newport. R. I. Clara Glidden is in Voluntown, Conn. We feel sure that Clara is a good representative of G. N. S. training. Velma Blake is teaching in Brownfield, Maine, and wishes success to the Green and White. Hilda and Doris Libby are teaching in Lovell Village. Hilda has the grammar grades and is also helping teacher. Doris has the primary grades. They both “enjoy their work very much.” We can feel certain that they are successful teachers from the evidence they gave while in G. X. S. On the coast is another “Gorhamite.” Welthea Richardson is at West Kcnnebunk teaching the first four grades. She has “Greeks, French and Americans.” Welthea tells us that Alice Pennell of '22 is with her. We may be sure that Gorham's praises ring in that town. Romance speaks! Master Dan Cupid has caught one member of '23 with his arrow. Harriet is rather shy so says only the following: “I taught the fall term in the Beech Ridge School at West Scarboro. I am not teaching this winter term.” We draw our own conclusions, however, when she signs herself, “Harriet Knight Delaware.” In Maine's largest city we have a glimpse at '23. Sadie Lowell is at Pride’s Corner and commutes to Portland. Sadie is a veritable newspaper, for the following items of interest arc gleanings from her pen: “Anna Gunderson is in the three lowest grades at Bar Mills. Josephine Smith is in the first grade, Frederick Robie School, Gorham, Rita Brown is at the Morrill’s Corner School and living at home. Katherine Allen is at the Allen’s Corner School in Woodfords. Catherine Neilon and Louise Schneider are teaching rural schools in Biddeford.” One member of the faculty is looking forward to Alumni Day when Catherine will tell her that she has lived up to her resolution. “Marjorie Dunstan, Ida Shulman and Bessie Robinson are teaching at South Portland. Adrienne Morin is in Ber- lin, N. H.” Good for Sadie! Frances Douglass writes that she is teaching fifth and sixth grades at Peaks Island. She started in with kindergarten and sub-primary. Frances not only wishes the year book success, but sends her best wishes to those of us who begin our teaching career next year. 54 GREEN AND WHITE How many times have we been disappointed in our program for social functions and found Grace Gifford willing to substitute and make everything go right? Evidently Grace is still playing “Good Samaritan.” tor she is substituting in Portland. She says she has found use enough for all those seemingly endless notes, so cheer up. juniors! e next go to Livermore Falls. Helen Perrin is there and writes that she has liked her work and is enjoying herself. She says that she expects to have a busy summer and fall. Preparing your trousseau. Helen? Lucy Hill is in North Vassalboro. Maine, teaching the first and second grades. We learn from her that Marion Jacques is at Turner Center and Mertelle Goodwin and Dorothy Foster are in Connecticut.’’ Ruth Winslow is teaching in West Paris. She has the fifth and sixth grades, doing departmental work. Her special subjects arc music, penman- ship and physical training. Ruth surely shows school spirit—“The majority of the teachers here arc Farmington girls, but G. X. S. praises ring as loudly as F. N. S.” Florence Poor is in the Ireland School in East Windham and writes that she is enjoying her work very much. Another who has selected her position near us is Sigrid Jacobsen. She is teaching in the Frederick Robie School in Gorham, having the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Julian Larrabcc is in the same school. Sigrid tells us that Gorham teachers receive a great deal of help from the monthly teachers’ meetings, because, to quote her. “we get new ideas and that is what we need.” Helen McGraw is in Millinockct and sends her best wishes for the suc- cess of the year book. Marcia Waterman states. “I could write several pages concerning my experiences this year.” Rather a broad statement from a slim girl like Marcia. She is teaching in Ogunquit Primary School, having the first four grades. Marcia states that she enjoys teaching because “each day brings something new, as there are thirty-one little brains to study and thirty-one little children, each of whom must be dealt with in a different manner.” We feel certain that Marcia is a successful teacher when she utters such senti- ments as these. Ruth Billings reports that she is teaching at home in Vinal Haven in the junior primary and first grade and adds. “My experiences have been those of any teacher.” I wonder what that means to other members of the class of ' 23 ? Dorothy Burke is fortunate enough to be teaching in Old Town near her home in Bangor, the third and fourth grades. She finds her work very in- teresting. Marion Ronan is also teaching in Old Town. In Lewiston is another of the class of '23. Gladys McHugh says she has been teaching only five weeks so “there is very little to tell.” Effie Perkins is in Rockland, third grade. To quote Fffie. “I have thirty- six rascals and they arc all dears.” She writes that there are six Gorham girls there. Thelma Russell also writes from Rockland. She has the first, second and third grades. “There are twenty-four innocents under my care.” Take good care of them. Thelma, that the result be a reflection of yourself. From Beverly, Mass., comes a letter written by a former V. W. C. A. president. Yes. it is Ruby Hodgkins and though we need her in Maine, we know she is an addition to Massachusetts’ teaching force. She writes. “I have forty-two little wrigglers of the fourth grade. When the school bell rang for the beginning of school the first day. I had every seat in my room filled and six pupils were standing. I thought I was done for! But. of course, we know that Ruby handled the situation so well that everything came out fine. W-: • GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL m Viola Flood has gone to Xcw Hampshire. Site is in Colebrook, liaving the first grade with thirty-five boys and girls. There arc with Viola two of the class of 22. Doris Tapley and Madeline Fmcrv. Again in Massachusetts we find Elizabeth Saunders. She is attending Boston University this year, and enjoys it greatly. She says. “1 ha e safely lived through one semester and am starting on the second.” But we may put our minds at rest concerning the possibility of Elizabeth's “flunking.” 1 have heard rumors which reported that through the writing of an excellent original poem Elizabeth changed her mark in one course from l!-f to A-f-. Back to Maine and up the Kennebec to Skowhegan. Ruth Valliere has returned to her home to teach and says she has a fine school. She writes, “Supt. Woodbury says 1 have the smartest first grade anywhere around. That shows the results of G. X. S. training. To quote her again. Don't forget Melissa Twitched of the class of '22 and the splendid work she is doing in the rural schools. She is Skowhcgan’s helping teacher.” Ruth, don’t exert yourself to such an extent with that first grade that you will fade to only a shadow! “It does seem good to know that Gorham hasn't forgotten us. for we certainly haven’t forgotten her.”—Doris Hallowed. Doris is teaching this year in Winslow, having the first and second grades. There are five Gorham girls there. Ruth Manchester, Amy Cormier. Martha Boothby and Bertha Day. Doris also says, “Gorham wasn’t such a bad place after ad and we’d give anything to be back again. Ah ! It was not always thus! That the members of the class of ’23. from whom 1 have not heard, may be represented here. 1 will borrow statistics from Mr. Russell. Name Teaching Position Dorothy Babcock, Kingfield Muriel Babcock.

This was said in the presence of Americans with the true American spirit, so you can imagine the conversation that ensued. Was it the Scotch, the French, or the Americans that won the war? Loyalty prompts us to say “The Americans.” But it is doubtful if any nation can claim the honor alone. Justice should compel us to say it was not the Americans, not the English, not the Italians, or the other Allies, but the whole-hearted, co-operative team- work of all the Allies combined. It accomplished great things on a large scale. Real success was never reached by a crooked road, nor by detours around the rough spots, but by the earnest effort put forth by those desiring it. It his been proved that no political party was ever invincible when two men wanted to be its head. No large corporation ever became such if it was divided into two elements. No individual could ever become a strong factor in this world if he had two sides to his nature, one that said “Go!” and one that said “Stop!” A cartoon interested me because of the excellent lesson depicted. There were seven parts, and I’ll attempt a synopsis of it. Part I. Two mules are tied together. Each sees a pail of oats, but the two pails arc in opposite directions from the observers. Part II. Each is determined to reach the pail he sees. The question arises, “How?” Part III. A tug-of-war ensues, no sign of yielding on either side, so they say, “When?” Part IV. War still on. Fatigue overtakes them. They sigh, “Wow!” Part V. Conference is held. Decision: “Let’s pull together!” Part VI. Team work. Both eat out of same pail until it is just pail. Part VII. Go over to other bucket. Proceed as in part six. It spells Success with a capital “S for only by teamwork could they have both pails of oats. So come on, everybody don’t show the mule that's in you. Let’s all pull together and success is inevitable. Goriiam, Maine, March 28, 1924. Dear Schoolmates of 1923: I certainly was very glad to hear of your splendid success in teaching and hope we girls of 1924 may be able to keep up the record which you girls have set for us. You asked me to tell you how we liked the juniors and what sort of a bunch they were. As you probably know, they are the largest class that has ever entered G. N. S., and I am glad to say that in my judgment the quality has not decreased with the quantity. They are an unusually talented class as was very clearly impressed upon us by the entertainment which they gave us in the gymnasium on March the fifteenth. The day before we received dainty little invitations assuring us of a good time. 58 GREEK AND WHITE It was a Saint Patrick’s Day party and the gymnasium was very taste- fully decorated. The entertainment was really a sort of minstrel show which was conducted by a chorus of girls in fantastic and delightful cos- tumes. Indeed, we felt at the close of the program that it might well have been put on at Keith’s. We all declared that we would not have missed it for anything. After the program refreshments were served and a social time followed. This one event opened our eyes to the worth of the junior class. I can very heartily assure you that the traditions of G. N. S. will be safe in the hands of the coming senior class of 1925. Very sincerely. RUTH. A GORHAM GIRL’S DIARY Nov. 5. 1922. If Jennie will stop raving long enough, I’ll get more or less of an installment in this poor old diary. Poor Jennie, this A. M. she spilled H2 SG4 on her brown canton crepe and she feels more than doleful. Crazy kid, she ought to have worn a rubber apron in the lab. Doing chemistry ex- periments is heaps of fun just the same. Watching those acids and bases and things change around is even more fascinating than fussing with pulleys and weights as we did in physics. Didn’t see much sense to cither at first but I wish now I could study them more. If I ever get to college—Oh, there’s the mail! Au revoir. Diary of mine. Feb. 1G. 1923. We met in Miss Andrew’s room for music. Alice taught a rote. We also took up the teaching of three-part music. The remainder of the period was spent in a music appreciation lesson. We studied “Madam Butterfly.” We became acquainted with the author, the story of the opera, the characters, and the persons who have successfully played the important roles. We enjoyed the records of the opera. In fact, we enjoy all of our music appreciation lessons. May 6, 1923. At last I think I know every tree on our campus. That’s saying something because there are so many of them. There’s the ginko, catalpa. larch, American and European linden, tulip tree and others. Many of the flowers are familiar to us. too. due to the efforts of Miss Ryan. We all remember the hikes to Alden’s Pond when we were studying flowers and trees. We feel quite well acquainted with nature now. Our school garden is ready to be planted. We'll work some! The rocks must be picked up and the soil got ready for us to plant the corn, beans and tomatoes. Imagine all the worms and crawly things! For two weeks we’ll watch for the little sprouts to come up. Later we’ll enjoy pulling the weed, won’t we? We’ll be quite a bunch of farmerettes to go forth from Gorham Normal School. Oct. 25, 1923. Today we have taken up a very important and interesting phase of psychology, that of heredity. We are studying at present the famous laws of Mendel and Galton. What great minds these men must have had to be able to formulate laws and principles upon which all psychology learners depend for study. “The mysteries of heredity comprise a great, untrodden field wherein scarcely the surface has yet been touched.” We have already studied instinctive behavior and our next topic will be habit formation. We will also go into the practice schools down-stairs, each to observe a particular child. This will give us an excellent opportunity to apply our knowledge of psychology. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL Feb. 14. 1024. Wc met in Miss Wctherbee’s room for drawing today. W e reviewed the definitions for repetition, alternation, and progression. In- terior decorating was our next problem. One of the important things that we learned from the solving oi that problem was the correct and incorrect way of hanging pictures. After we complete interior decorating we are to take up pottery. Feb. 1!). 1924. Well, Diary, you poor neglected thing. I haven’t much time to spend with you tonight. Asketh thou the reason? Allow me to in- form you then that I have a very important date wih Pestalozzi, Horace Mann. Sophocles and other famous gentlemen who inhabit the pages of my History of Ed. There’s a quiz tomorrow and that stuff ( ?) isn’t easy, but you certainly learn a lot from it. Schools mean a lot more to me since I traced their history and development down through the ages. Another way in which we learn much about the history and development of schools is through dramatization. One very interesting one was given in which was depicted a dame school. This picture tells its own story. This dramatization surely left in our minds a clear conception of what a dame school was and the method of conducting one. Mary has borrowed by P. T. book and I can’t get that done. I suppose, and if I don’t know that absolutely perfect. I just know we’ll get into an argument in class and I’ll miss all the fun. Those occasional arguments fix teaching principles in our brains mighty well just the same. Study bell, old Diary, so bye-bye. Mar. 14, 1924. “If it hurts you, it’s good for you.” This is the advice Miss W illis gives us in gymnasium. How many poor creatures has she called on to the gym floor to play basketball when they knew not the difference between a forward and a basket? The number may be measured by those who go limping and groaning to their rooms only to come back again at a later date to add a few more kinks and twists in their muscles. One strenuous day I remember only too well. It began with a quiz in physiology in which we were supposed to know all there is to know about the bones of the body, the nervous system, hygiene, germs, diseases and their causes. Next came the class in gymnasium practice in which we first learned the rudiments of military marching (and some things that were not rudi- GREEN AND WHITE 60 ments); then we went through a day’s order that would easily answer for two days. At noon time we had basketball practice in preparation for the inter- division games after school. And to top it all, of course someone asked, “Have you taken your hour’s exercise today ?” March 26, 1921. Today we were given our “ 5th problem” under Europe. “My, such everlasting assignments!” We visit the British Isles, go to the North Cape to see the “Midnight Sun” and tour through all the European countries. In Czechoslovakia we stopped long enough to make ourselves into enthusiastic gymnasts at the athletic festival at Prague. Such interesting things as we learn in geography! Music, as an approach to a country, arouses one’s interest at once. At least it did in our class. Wc will never forget the lesson taught by the Victrola. The record was “The Storm,” from YVilliam Tell. We listened to the music very intently to learn all we could about Switzerland. The rumbling of a storm fell upon our ears. One could hear the wind shriek and the swollen torrents rush madly down the mountainside. At last the strain died down into refreshing calmness. The echoes showed us how the mountains gave back the sound. We inferred that mountains de- termine the occupations, habits and characters of the people. A story may disclose geographical facts, too, as you will see. One day the olive told its life story. The next day we were each a piece of macaroni and told such tales as these: My name is macaroni, And my home’s the U. S. A., I used to live in Italy Which is so far away. I once was just a bit of wheat, And then was ground to flour; And mixed with a little water and salt, Then left to dry by the hour. Before they hung me out to dry, They cut me into cakes, And then they bored a hole in me, Which fairly made me ache. Then they laid me on a tray And cut me with a knife, A process which I’ll ne’er forget Not once in all my life. After I was dried enough They put me in a box And shipped me over here to you From dear old Naples’ docks. A merchant sent me up to Maine In nineteen twenty-two, And left me down in Libby’s store To see what I would do. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 61 Chorus Oh Macaroni, that’s what they call me, And I come from Italy So far across the sea. Now my home’s America And I am satisfied. I hope you’re glad I came to you And now I’ll say “Good-bye.” This was composed and sung to the tune of “Solomon Levi” by two members of our class, Wilma Burgess and Frances Burleigh. From all these many approaches to geography, can we not remember that geography is a liv- ing vital thing? April 22, 1924. Well, old Diary, it’s been some time since I’ve written here. I’ve been awfully busy the last week or so. but I have a few minutes in which to make up for it before Ruth and I go down town. We’re just back from composition. We had a very interesting meeting and we all enjoyed Esther's paper. I like that way of taking up our composition work. It is so much more fun to write papers and read them at the club meetings. I'll never forget the fun we had organizing our division into a club. Poor Sarah babbled of majority and plurality vote for two weeks after her election to the presidential chair. Let me see. I must get some books tonight for book reports in literature and something about Shakespeare. Yesterday—oh dear! there’s Ruth now. Bye-bye, Diary dear. Gotta go down town. ONE AFTERNOON’S EXPERIENCE May—One day in June mother and I went out walking through the fields and woods looking for birds. It was a beautiful day, just the kind that is best when one wants to sec birds. We had seen many kinds and had heard them sing, but both of us wanted to sec a cuckoo. As we were walking along Bradley Street, just above our garden, we saw a large bird in a small tree. We looked at it through the bird glasses and saw it was a cuckoo. We stood very still and kept very quiet to watch it and to study its characteristics. Soon its stomach began to move, and its throat to swell. Then came a soft note, then it grew louder. He sounded as if he were saying, Come papa, come papa, come papa.” It was very amusing to watch him and hear him sing. Just then his mate flew over and lighted on the same branch. It was quite a treat to sec what Mr. John Burroughs states that he never in all his experience had seen, two cuckoos in the same tree. We went home that night feeling very happy. 9 62 GREEN' AND WHITE THE BOYS OF G. N. S. A rush inside of that old front door. A clatter of feet across the floor. Hats off! our boys have come to school. A rush and a tumble, a jump and a leap, Scarfs and coats piled up in a heap, Hats off! our boys have come to school. The whistled time of a popular song, A hearty laugh as they stride along. Hats off! our boys have come to school. Up the stairs by two's and three’s, Joking and happy and sure as you please, Hats off! our boys have come to school. Chewing bum and arguing fast. Flirting a bit as the time goes past. Hats off! our boys have come to school. Steady eyes of blue and brown. Laugh and shout and joke and frown, Hats off! our boys have come to school. At the ringing bell they rush and run Ready for work instead of fun. Hats off! our boys have come to school. Clattering feet going down the stair, A deep-voiced echo on the air. Hats off! our boys have come to school. We love their quiet, we love their noise, Oh, how we love those pesky boys, The boys of G. N. S. A TRUE STORY Anne had wanted to do about everything during her life. Of course, there was the period of policeman, fireman and car conductor, then she wanted to be a painter and paint people's houses for them. A little later she decided to be a singing teacher. She would tell you that this was the greatest joke of all. but youth is ambitious. A drawing teacher and a writing teacher followed. Perhaps it was the frequent reference to the “old maid school teacher” that made her change her mind and decide to become a nurse, or perhaps, as in a good many cases, it was the attractive costume and the romantic part that appealed. Finally she decided that she wanted to be just a plain “school mam.” Having reached this decision, she began to wish for it with all her heart. She must go to normal school. She believed that if she wished for a thing hard enough she would surely get it. So wish she did on every wishbone, on every load of hay. new moon and pin. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 63 The summer after her graduation from high school drew near to a close and there were no developments in her career. She didn’t give up entirely, but was often heard to say. “Well. I've wanted to do about everything but take in washings. I guess that will be the next thing.” It was hard to sec the others going away to college.9 Very suddenly her chance came. A brief special delivery letter an- nounced that if she wished to go away to school she might find out the cost and her expenses would be paid. Her joy cannot be imagined. It seemed like a book. She could hardly believe it. Before she fully realized what had happened, she was walking into the large dining room at Gorham Normal School. The many tables and the merry chatter of the girls seemed like part of a dream. After supper she was taken to the “Center.” There she received much attention because she was a week late. How kind those girls were! She was visited and taken for walks. The new life was so filled with excitement that at night she did not sleep but lay awake reviewing the happenings of the day. A week passed. The classes were still a mystery to her. What in the world was a lesson plan! Teachers began their lessons by saying. “Put your- selves in the place of fifth grade children.” Then when she gave a rule in grammar Miss Stone said. Well, you are too smart. A fifth grade child wouldn’t give that answer.” Somehow she missed the point of everything. She didn’t see why these things were being done. When she tried to measure something in Industrial Arts she was sure to find it an eighth of an inch longer or shorter every time she measured. Then there was drawing. Why, she couldn’t draw a straight line! And music— well, she did know something about that but if Miss Andrews should ever ask her to teach one of those rote songs, she’d die dead. And Physics! this was the biggest bugbear of all. Just when she thought her notes were copied up she would get yards and yards more of them to copy. These were only a few of her troubles. She began to think that something was wrong with her. About the time when her mind was in a whirl trying to get these things straightened out, something else began to happen to her. She didn’t know what was wrong. She had a cjueer feeling. When she got a letter from home instead of feeling glad she wanted to cry. It went on for a while until she just felt she couldn’t stand it. Why in the world didn’t they write and tell her that she must come home! If she were going to fail it would be better to go home than spend someone else’s money. She wasn’t any good anyway. She thought of the unfinished sofa pillows and other things that she had attempted. She had never finished them. She couldn’t stick to anything anyway. The teachers talked, the girls talked, but she thought that they were just trying to be nice to her. Yet. if others could do the work, why couldn’t she? Night and day she thought about it. They would say “Don’t think. Stop thinking” but she couldn’t. A letter came from her father. He said, “Now, Anne, your father never had much education but he never was a quitter. You can do just as you like. Come home if you want to, but if you do come home you’ll continue to think that you're no good. The thing for you to do is to prove to yourself that you are some good. Anne, you’re going to drive a horse in a race. Let’s call her ‘She’ll go.’ She is handicapped in the beginning, so you want to hold a tight rein on her until she gets her footing. Take it slow around the curves then when she gets on the straight stretch give her her head and let her go. Remember ‘She’ll go’ and she’ll be in the race. Finally things cleared up 04 GREEN AND WHITE for her. She became once more cheerful. She discovered that she wasn't any further behind than the others. Practice teaching proved to be a perfect delight. It was followed by serious talks of getting a school and of parting. Two years passed—years that she will never forget. Girls lived close together like a big family, always ready to help in any way, always ready to laugh at as well as to sympathize. How she enjoyed sitting in a room and chatting with the girls! It was surprising what subjects they talked about— lessons—sometimes, teachers, love, marriage, washing dishes and a great deal about “eats”—mother’s apple pies or mother’s doughnuts or mother’s bread. There will always be remembrances of snowshoeing and skiing, of fudge parties and ever so many other things. A house party had to be talked about and planned. Spring came and tennis must be mastered. Those first days seemed like a bad dream now. She had even reached the point where she could laugh at them and wonder why she had been so silly. She learned many things besides her lessons: How nice and friendly people could be! She had learned to be thoughtful of other people and to appreciate her home. She had always appreciated it in one way. but now she knew that she had been apt to take many things for granted. Some girls had no father or mother, some only one parent, she had both. She had learned that teachers were always willing to give helpful “little suggestions.” She had learned to say, “I will be such a teacher rather than using the with of childhood. In other words she had learned to drive “She’ll go”—she had learned to stick to life’s lesson plan. It will be hard to part with Gorham Normal School. Hard to part with the girls. Anne is only one of the many who will carry the memories of her two years at Gorham Normal School with her always. How glad she is that she stayed! LET US BE KIND What would this world be like without the spirit of kindness? What would our life at Gorham Normal School be without that same spirit around us? Shall we not strive to be still kinder? Very little we know of the hearts that are sorely in need of just a smile, a tender word, or the clasp of a friendly hand. Can we not make someone else’s burden lighter as we pass along life’s road? There is always opportunity for a small deed of kindness as helping someone who needs aid. visiting someone who is ill, speaking words of cheer to someone who is discouraged, sharing someone’s sorrow, accepting and doing willingly and cheerfully what our teachers and classmates ask us to do. No matter how small the deed we may bring some happiness to others. “Let 11s be kind.” In so doing we shall bring real, satisfying, worth-while, lasting joy to others and to ourselves. The following verses certainly contain some worth-while thoughts for us: “Somebody did a golden deed; Somebody proved a friend in need; Somebody sang a beautiful song; Somebody smiled the whole day long; Somebody thought, ‘ ‘Tis sweet to live’; Somebody said. ‘I’m glad to give’; Somebody fought a valiant fight; Somebody lived to shield the right; Was that somebody you?” GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 05 A crying need of the Gorham Normal School is an entertainment hall. A school of this size surely ought to have a hall suitable for any production the student-body may give during the year. Those who have taken part in entertainments given in the gymnasium realize the handicaps which confront one on every side. There is no need to enumerate the disadvantages. What interests us is how we can overcome them. The alumni of Gorham Normal School is a large number, the friends of the school are even a larger number. With all of them to back it, why not start a drive for Alumni Hall? A separate building could be planned, having a gymnasium on the ground floor and on the second floor the hall, including dressing rooms, costume rooms and ticket office. The combination of, gym- nasium and hall would be an ideal plan. The senior class remember that day when Miss Stone was about to reach the climax in that very thrilling tale. Bang, Clamp, bump, bang from above drowned out the most interesting part of the story. Similar disappointments come often in the rooms below the gymnasium. Think how many of the present difficulties would be un- known to classes if an alumni drive secured to the school an Alumni Hall. Other schools have successfully carried through such drives. Why not Gorham? GLEANINGS FROM THE CLASSROOMS This world of ours offers many varieties of employments. We. future teachers of boys and girls, have chosen one of the greatest. If we are to be great teachers we must pledge ourselves to give the best that is in us. In no other way can we help young people to become the type of citizen that will make America a better place in which to live. To be a great teacher one must have a strong personality, we are told. What is personality? We all feel sure we know, but who yet has really de- fined it? Other essentials of a great teacher are individual tastes, interests other than those connected with our official work, a readiness to be forgotten, a power to put one’s self in the place of the child. By this time we wonder why we dared choose to make teachers of our- selves. Many of us. on coming to normal school, had chosen this occupation only as a trade. From that viewpoint it is often disappointing business. But we have been led to think of it rather as a profession. Our aim. then, is to exercise our powers so that they will be beneficial to mankind. Every pro- fession offers a special opportunity to the individual to use his power for the betterment of humanity. The teacher who has really chosen a profession, not a trade, will take delight in awakening in others a realization of their own real worth. The enjoyment of teaching we get from the work itself. May we be able to live up to the creed which Henry Van Dyke has so beautifully expressed and which voices the thoughts so forcibly impressed upon us during our two years in Gorham Normal School. “Four things a man must learn to do If lie would make his records true: Think without confusion, clearly, Love his fellowmcn sincerely. Act from worthy motives purely, Trusting God and heaven securely. 66 GREEN AND WHITE “SPIRIT OF INVESTIGATION”—BOOKS Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind (Addison). In the best books great men talk to us and give us their most precious thoughts and pour their souls into ours (Channing.) Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom (Emerson). One can- not celebrate hooks sufficiently. After saying his best, still something better remains to be spoken in their praise (Alcott). A home without books is like a room without windows ( Beecher). Read- ing is to the mind what exercise is to the body (Addison). The books which help the most arc those which make you think the most (Parker). No book can be so good as to be profitable when negligently read (Seneca). Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested (Baron). To read without reflecting is like eating without di- gesting (Burke). Always have some useful and pleasant book ready to pick up in the “odd ends of time” (Bishop Potter). Half the gossip of society would perish if the books that arc truly worth reading were read (Dawson). A pleasing physical education demonstration was given by both classes of the Gorham Normal School in the gymnasium on Tuesday evening May 8. 1921. Miss W illis, our efficient director of physical education, deserves much credit for the success of the demonstration. The program was pre- sented thus: 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. 8.

Briefly out- lined. it is as follows: “THE LOST PLEIAD” A fantasy by Jane Dransfield. The suggestion for this fantasy lay in the Greek myth of the Pleiad, who came to earth to marry a mortal. The Pleiades were the seven beautiful daughters of Atlas and the ocean nymph Pleione. By command of Zeus, they became a constellation, shining by night as stars: but by day. in the form of doves, they winged their way to the far Hesperides to fetch am- brosia for the Olympian King. All were content with their fate except Merope, the youngest, who, having fallen in love with Sisyphus, founder and first King of Corinth, slipped down to earth to become the bride of the mortal of her choice. For this act she was forbidden to resume her heavenly station. Compensation was hers, however, since it was her grandson. Bel- lerophon. who. beside the magic spring Peirene. captured Pegasus, the winged horse of the Muses, thereby securing forever for mortals the service of poetry. sr 1 IiiWCt GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 07 CAST OF CHARACTERS Prologue ...........................................

For her God. for herself and her work. Content to settle bacK from the strife And to play in the role of the shirk. Content to wander through life’s long way With the thought, “I have done my share,” Content to leave all work of the day And to play, just to play, without care. Since she thought she knew all there was to be known. She could let all affairs slip away ; But. alas! she forgot new seeds arc sown, Both of knowledge and good. each day. So in calm repose she tamed to rest In a forest of strong old oak. This mighty band, its mightiness strest By the failure of winds to provoke, They scorned to be swayed by the mighty blasts That blustered o’er hill and o'er dale, And not content were they with their pasts Of courage and strength for the gale. But they each day new roots did put forth. With the thought oi a strong, firm hold On the entrails of old Mother Earth, There to twist and to twine and enfold. Xow her gaze passes on to a nest in a tree (One of that staid Spartan band), And she watched the birdlings flit From limb to limb, then from branch to land. Not once, but twice, and many times more This new learned feat was done. But. not content, then from tree to tree, 'Til they knew their first battle was won. Then upwards they soared, past the clouds, Until they coulcf scarce be discerned Unless the clouds might shift their course Or they themselves earthward be turned: But ever upward still was their goal. Determination the strength of their aim. Xo fear or indolence held them fast While there were vict’rics to gain. Then she perceived that Xature’s children Could not stop by the wayside to rest. For 'twas so ordained, to survive in this world, Each must put forth always its best; And if Xaturc s children, no matter their age, Must keep on and on and on. Why, then she, of just a decade or two, Could not think life's accomplishments done. And the thought still persisted, “I, too. am a child of Xaturc. And my attainments (though fine) may well be improved : So I II let them still grow and mature. And. with the idea in mind, “Carry on! Carry on ! , She went back to monotonous strife. But to her 'twas not work, but play and an end, That end a successful life; Xot the success that comes with wealth and gold, Or with applauded career and the rest, But just the success of knowing That one had done her best. OUR VOYAGE HOME Xow we launch our bark on the sea of life, In the breezes of hope and of faith, And our sails arc filled with “Courage in strife As we leave yonr port to day. With Youth as the pilot and trust as the crew, And success the goal of our dream. And a spirit undaunted in whate’er we do, Wc steer our course down the stream. We won’t overlook the crags of despair. Or the ledge of grief in the mist; We'll prepare our craft for the bludgeons of Fate, And the buffets of life resist. For although the bav may be calm to-day. Fortune's whip may lash it to rnge, And imperilled we’ll be on life's dark sea. For battles we always must wage. But we'll ne’er be discouraged. For 'tis but the test of Sir Time; We’ll surely return, with the spoils of hard toil. To a life serene and sublime. After our battles are fought and won. And we’ve laid our spoils at His feet, fie will bless us all and give to each one A reward that is just and meet. When they walk with chins uplifted. As on paths of air they trod. When they stare with eyes ascended As if unto their God, When their faces arc illumined With great big sunny smiles, And their minds are rushing onward A minute to ten miles— When you meet this sort of people, Wherever you chance to roam, Believe me, you, they’re headed for A place called Home, Sweet Home. 70 GREEN AND WHITE SENIOR BOYS MANUAL TRAINING JUNIOR BOYS MANUAL TRAINING GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 71 3lnbustrial i rts THE SHOP The first year’s work of the Manual Arts Department at the shop is di- vided into several groups as follows: Cabinet work, wood turning, household repair, mechanical drawing and blueprinting. The second year’s work con- sists of simple forging, machine shop practice, machine and architectural drafting, cabinet work, shop organization, electricity and practice teaching. Under the guidance of Mr. Lawrence M Cilley the class in cabinetwork last year turned out many small articles, glove and handkerchief boxes, coat hangers and broom holders, in addition to larger pieces, such as toboggans, music, smoking and china cabinets, tea wagons, Morris-chairs, piano benches and library tables. Each student drew his plans for his cabinet article. He then constructed it. making any corrections necessary in his drawing as his work progressed. Next he redrew his plans and traced them. Blueprints were made and exchanged by the students, and the tracings were given to the school. In wood-turning such objects as tool handles, candlesticks, table and floor lamps, nut bowls and jewel boxes were produced. The class in household repair, under the direction of Mr. George A. Brown, repaired and reseated many chairs from the dormitory besides making new stools for the bench room. They also put up an overhead platform in the millroom on which to store students’ lumber between classes. The most difficult project constructed in this class was a laboratory table, fourteen feet long and four feet wide, containing forty-two draws, three sinks and eighteen lockers with doors, for the science room, 'flic plans were drawn by members of the preceding class. This problem was attacked much as would be done in a commercial shop. Different students with one or two helpers were made responsible for the construction of lifferent parts. One group cut out and built the draw rails and runs, another group prepared stock for the doors, others worked on the top, while still others cut and assembled the draws. After the assembly of the top. its size necessitated fastening pulleys to the ceiling and hoisting it out of the way. When completed it was necessary to lower it from the second floor to the ground on ladders because of its size and the construction of the stairway. The forge work is under the direction of Mr. Cilley. In this branch tools and fixtures have been made for both individual and school use, such as cold chisels, nailsets, center punches, gate hooks, pipe hooks and chain grab- hooks. The machine shop is under the supervision of Mr. Brown. In this de- partment the students take rough castings as they come from the foundry and work them to size and shape on the different machines. This gives the student practical experience in setting up and using different machines, such as milling machine, shaper, drill press, hack saw and engine lathe. This year the students arc making machinists’ vices with a three and one-half inch jaw. In the course in machine drawing, the student takes the machine part, for example, the tailstock of a speed lathe, and makes free-hand sketches of it, including all measurements. From these rough sketches, mechanical drawings arc made showing detail and assembly views. 72 GREEN AND WHITE In architectural drawing the student either takes some plan already drawn and makes any desired changes in it. or originates an entirely new plan. The several floor plans and elevations are drawn as required. The senior class in drawing makes plans for the large school projects to be made by the under class. This year plans for a schedule board similar to the one in the assembly hall were drawn. The class in shop organization is concerned mostly with theory. It con- sists of discussions and papers on class management., courses and methods. An electrical course, under the direction of Mr. Brown, is being intro- duced this year. This consists of much practical work in the making of panels or boards illustrating different phases of wiring and construction. The practice teaching is carriel on under the supervision of both Mr. Brown and Mr. Cillcy, having respectively woodwork and drawing. Mr. Brown and Mr. Ciiley deserve much credit for the excellent work that has been accomplished through their tireless efforts and the co-operation of the students, even though the building is crowded. This year there have been two of the largest classes in the history of the industrial department. Teachers and students are therefore looking forward to the introduction of a longer course with a larger building fully equipped for the work that can be accomplished under such strong directors.

If that same stranger paused to listen, he might wonder, too, at such exclamations as, “Oh, I did get the fifth grade.’’ “Dorothy Foss is going to South Portland.” “Why, Julia has the second.” “Who has the eighth in Westbrook?” “Did Evelyn get the fourth here?” Investigation would disclose the fact that the lists were posted for the next group of girls to go out practice teaching. The practice teaching required of every student is a very valuable part of normal training. Schools in South Portland and Westbrook, besides those in Gorham, are used for this purpose. At present the grade children of Gor- ham occupy six rooms on the first floor of the recitation building. Miss Mary Louise Hastings, Director of Practice Work, has charge of this department. Four critic teachers supervise the grades in Gorham, Miss Harriet Gaynell Trask, VII and VIII; Miss Ethelyn Foster Upton. V and VI; Miss Lois Eleanor Pike, III and IV; Miss Dorothy Rachel Lyons, I, II and Junior Primary. Miss Evelyn Rebecca Hodgdon is supervisor of the Model Rural School at West Gorham. The critic teachers in Westbrook are Miss Gladys Wyer, Miss Doyle, Miss Mansur, Miss Nevens, Miss Hurd, Miss Edwards, Miss Pike, Miss Hazel Wyer, Miss Martin Miss Palmer, Mrs. Karr and Miss Page. The critic teachers in South Portland are Miss Hessian, Miss Treadwell, Miss Whipple. Miss Smith, Miss Marr, Mrs. Kendrick and Mrs Kent. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL to CRITIC TEACHERS Each girl is assigned to a grade and for nine weeks she teaches the pupils of that grade and as far as possible assumes the duties of a full-fledged teacher. To quote one of the girls: ‘lt is during that nine weeks that we have a chance to work with the children and find out just what we can do. We make mis- takes, but there is always someone handy to help us out of our difficulties and to suggest improvements.” The helpful attitude of the critic teachers and the interest the work itself arouses soon overcome the timidity of the student teachers. They therefore develop self-confidence and competence. One girl summed her teaching experience up thus: My knees were wobbly and iny heart beat hard And I trembled and shook with fear As I started out at G. N. S. For the teaching part of the year. I entered a room that was miles in length With its thundering clock on the wall. And that sea of faces seemed awfully big And I felt awfully small. I feared I’d never find courage enough To talk to that frightening bunch; That I’d make a mess of this awful job I had a dismaying hunch. Yet it was a job that had to be done And only I could do it. So I gathered my nerve, forgot my fright, Gritted my teeth and went to it. I taught the three R’s with might and main, Some drawing and sewing, too; And before I knew it my courage came back As I’d fervently hoped it would do. The room that had seemed so prison-like Was now full of work and fun; That sea of faces became my friends. I sincerely liked each one. The clock on the wall was a friendly affiair, My pupils were clever and bright. And instead of being a detestable drudge. Practice teaching became a delight. 76 GREEN AND WHITE DOES TEACHING PAY? Books and pencils were in their desks As the clock said Four” in a lusty tone; The children gave their last farewells And I was left in the schoolroom alone. Alone in a schoolroom empty of faces At the end of another day; And I put my hand to my aching head And wondered, Docs teaching pay? The things that had happened since early morn Then marched my vision before, And that question stuck in my weary mind As I counted my trials o’er. Fractions with Bill did not agree; Jimmie his reading had quite forgot; Mary’s language was decidedly nil, Nor did she care a jot. Mrs. Brown thought Jack was imposed upon And so she sent a note: Why did I favor that Johnny Green And on the others seem to dote. When her little Jack was just as good And of brains had a marv’lous share! She’d think that schoolmarms would tend to their work And try to be more fair! Gertrude had had a hard example She couldn't make come right; And at recess May hit poor Bob And the Bean boys started a fight. A bloody cut had needed my care, And the use of our First Aid kit; Keeping the peace and a reasonable quiet Had required my every wit. When the bell had rung and summoned them in, Back to their books once more, I reviewed and explained and worked along ’Til half of the day was o’er. There were questions and questions yet to answer And others still to ask, While exhibiting work and fixing boards Was a wearisome, bothersome task. The sun had gone under a great dark cloud, And my work loomed mountains high; But work as I might with my tired head, The time dragged slowly by. A visitor came in with a superior smile And her nose tilted up in the air, And I felt in my bones, though held my head high, That she criticized everything there. When at recess she went her way, Only pride kept back my tears— Was it a thankless task to which I bent And given the best of my years? GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 77 Did nobody care that I toiled all day And dreamed through most of the night, And advised and coaxed and fussed and planned, Trying to get things right? Did the facts I struggled so hard to teach And the lessons I tried to drive home Really get lodged in their youthful brains To help them in years to come? Was I nurse and adviser, teacher and friend, Judge and playmate in one, Only to have my mistakes pop up And iccr when day was done? Did folks think that teaching was just a job For filling a scanty purse? That of being a schoolmarm and being a scrubgirl, I simply had dodged the worst? And the bitter thought crept into my brain And leered like a wicked elf: Teaching school will never pay, Get a decent job for yourself! And a lone little tear slipped out and away, For I thought that no one was near; But a soft little arm stole round my neck, A shy voice spoke in my car. “You tired tonight, Teacher dear? Ain't,we been good today? Honest, Teacher, we didn’t mean to be bad!” My most mischievous youngster did say. As I looked down in the trusting face, Into those penitent eyes of blue, Somehow my bitterness fled away With a bit of my weariness, too. And if anyone doubtingly asks of me In one of the coming days, I believe I can answer with confident smile, “I know that teaching pays.” ORGANIZATIONS GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL Che gating IJlomen’s Christian Association CABINET OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Finance Committee Social Service Committee Social Committee World Fellowship Committee Dorothea Goddard Program Committee Clara Anderson Publicity Committee Virginia Howe Permanent Membership Committee—Miss Stone., Clinton Kimball.

C. A. has endeavored to keep up to the excellent standard established by previous years. It did its best to make the new- comers happy and contented when they arrived at the beginning of the fall term. There was the usual get-together party on the first night and the Y. W. reception to the juniors the following Saturday night. The Recognition Service was held this year in the Center. October 31st, at seven o’clock, where a large number of the juniors were formally re- ceived as new members into the organization. The quiet gathering of members and friends showed their understanding of the meaning of the service. As a hymn was sung by the choir, the cabinet officers and those who were to become members marched into the room. At the door a candle was given to each new member. All formed in a semi-circle about a large white candle which was lighted. The vice president welcomed the girls not only to Gorham Normal association but to the world fellowship. 80 GREEN AND WHITE 1 She then stated the purpose of the Y. W. C. A. The recognition prayer followed. After the choir sang ‘‘Jesus Calls Us, the president held up the lighted candle and said. “Light your candles at the great candle that it may be a true symbol of a flaming purpose in your lives, a flame which will grow brighter, and steadier through the year.” When the candles were all lighted, a junior, representing the new members, gave their allegiance to the Y. W. With their lighted candles the girls marched out of the room singing “Follow the Gleam.” This service helped all to see the real purpose of the Y. W. C. A. The Thursday prayer meetings have been well attended and very help- ful. This has resulted, in part as least, because of the carefully organized work of the Program Committee and the World Fellowship Committee. The plays, “The Voices of the Women” and “The Hanging of the Sign,” furnished interesting programs for the two regular missionary meetings. At a third meeting Mrs. Louis Files of Portland gave an earnest talk on Y. W. work in Japan. The social service committee has continued the work of visiting the sick and sending flowers to the hospital. The attractive posters have shown that the publicity committee has not been idle. The finance committee began its work of making a budget, and has faithfully carried on the sale of chocolate and other articles, and therefore was ready to successfully meet expenditures indicated in the budget. The Christmas Fair and the Washington’s Birthday Party, under the management of the Social Service Committee will long be remembered.

Its responsibilities extend along many lines, and its ideal is to create a student body strong enough to handle effectively all these responsibilities. As a government in a school of girls it cannot be excelled. A review of the year shows several very earnest meetings of the Student Council. The honest desire of its members was to find practical ways of strengthening its government. Several members of both the senior and junior classes spoke at these meetings on different subjects. Each, however, suggested some specific way in which all might work to secure the greatest convenience and development to the greatest number. Another line along which the Student Council has assumed definite re- sponsibilities is shown in the action concerning the entertainment of the artists who appeared in the course of six entertainments given in the As- sembly Hall during the winter. The Council voted that the president ap- point a committee of four, two from the House Committee and two from the Student Council to welcome the entertainers from W hite’s Bureau. This committee met the guests at the train and conducted them to and from the Normal School. The Viola M. White room was made even more attractive by the flowers which the committee placed in it just before the arrival of the guests. 84 GREEN AND WHITE Many happy hours are spent in the library by the girls. Here are found the late fiction magazine, as well as educational journals and newspapers. The Student Council voted to pay twenty-five cents each, the money ob- tained being used to purchase magazines. Librarians were appointed by the Council who were to regulate library hours and loaning of magazines to the girls to take to their rooms. Another enterprise which originated in a meeting of the House Commit- tee, and then was taken up in Student Council, was the organization of the Outdoor Sports Club. The main object of this club is to keep the girls out of doors. It requires one hour of exercise out of doors, every day. rain or shine. Since its organization girls have been out walking, playing ball and tennis, hunting birds, snowshoeing and engaging in many other activities. Letters are to be awarded to those who do not fail a single day to meet the requirements. The Student Council also arranged a delightful Hallowe’en Party for October 27. It was given in the gymnasium. The decorations were very pretty, and with the costumes, made a bright colored array. The program was as follows: Two selections ....................................

CHRISTMAS PARTY On December 18, the Tuesday night before we went home for the Christ- mas recess, the Student Council gave a party in the dining hall. The Presi- dent had beforehand asked the girls to place on slips of paper the names of those regularly seated at their tables. These slips were used to draw lots. Each was requested to bring on the night of the party a ten-cent present for the one whose name she had drawn. These gifts were put on the tree which the committee had attractively decorated and placed in the center of the hall. The smaller trees, flowers, candles and other Christmas decorations on the different tables showed how thoroughly all had entered into the call to Christmas spirit. On Miss Jordan’s table was a large vase filled with beautiful pinks. These were a tribute from the students to their dean. A special supper was arranged by Miss Woodward, which added much to the pleasure of the evening. It had been rumored that a certain group in the dining hall, Miss Andrews, Miss Lyons and Miss Upton leading, were to sing parodies on songs applying to the different teachers. As soon as supper had been cleared, this group of girls and teachers, forty-eight in number, sang these songs. Oh Mr. Russell, Oh Mr. Russell, The junior class has flunked its physic test I don’t know what to do That’s why I’m asking you; The problem is a big one I’ll admit. Oh, Mr. Woodward, Oh. Mr. Woodward, We must teach those lazy people how to work. If they flunk their test, why then Give it to them once again, What again, Mr. Russell, For a dollar, Mr. Woodward. Mr. Russell, let us cheer him For we honor, love and fear him In his warnings you should hear him VVhat he has to say. O’er our studies we must ponder On the side streets never wander To his ofticc we'll meander If we disobey. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 85 Where now is Nellie Jordan. Where now is Nellie Jordan.

May your Christmas gifts be many, Disappointments be not any, May you get the lucky penny, Are our wishes true. GREEN AND WHITE 8G The rumor, as it reached those seated at the other end of the dining room, revealed the name of Miss Andrews but not those of the teachers assisting her. Not to be outdone by the first group, they planned a response in the form of a tribute to Miss Andrews. Now you have all heard What they had to say. They made quite a big hit— Now we will do our bit To entertain you With a song or two. Miss Andrews, you are full of pep, We surely do like you. Before you came into our midst What did old Gorham do? You’ve helped to make this Christmas glad To every trust your true; You’ve played for us. you’ve sung for us, And now we’ll sing for you. This part of the entertainment was closed by singing “Fairest Normal.” Words by Louis Burton Woodward Music by Miriam Andrews We rise. Fairest Normal, thy spirit to show And to honor the trust that we bear; ’Tis a trust that on others we’ll only bestow When duty shall call us elsewhere. But a place in our lives thou hast won evermore. Thro the years that arc passing apace. And when we from thy portals the future explore. We’ve a picture that naught can efface. Thy green showest life in its spring, at the morn Ere our brows have been wrinkled with care; But full more shall it mean as the years shall adorn The calling for which we prepare. And thy white is a symbol of purity born With a vision of lofty ideals; May youth’s purity last and be never withdrawn. When the future its secret reveals. Then hail. Fairest Normal, once more do we sing For we know that youth speedeth away; Let us love thee today, take the tribute we bring Attempting in vain to repay. As thy daughters and sons we’ll be brave and be true. Thy traditions we’ll keep and defend. Take our pledge of allegiance which now we renew, May thy prestige all classes transcend. Then a tinkle of a bell and who should run in but Isabelle Eaton im- personating old St. Nicholas himself. The presents were distributed which ended our happy Christmas party. President .....

All have co-operated with Miss Andrews and the orchestra has surely been a success. It has played at many of the entertainments during the year and at the chorus period several times. The music has been good, largely due to the very proficient directing of Miss Andrews. 92 GREEN' AND WHITE THE MANDOLIN CLUB The Mandolin Club is an informal organization composed of a group of girls who meet every Wednesday night after school for an hour in the Center. They are eleven in number, Miss Andrews and Helen Cates di- recting them. The girls are Lillian Matheson, Dorothea Goddard, Frances Burleigh. Wilma Burgess, Helen MacWhinnie, Nevilla Blaisdell, Dorothy Owen, Marion McCobb, and Hattie Jacobs playing mandolins, Madeline Heath the ukclele. and Faye Dresser, piano. Their first public appearance was made at the special chorus period the last Saturday before Easter va- cation. CHORUS PERIOD On Saturday morning the entire student body assembled in the main room for the weekly chorus period. This is conducted by Miss Miriam Andrews, the Music Supervisor. It is her aim to help the students to understand and appreciate the best music. We have studied and enjoyed during this year selections from well known operas and oratorios. Among them : “Hallelujah Chorus” from the “Messiah,” “No Shadows Yonder” from “The Holy City,” “The Heavens Resound,” and “The Evening Wind” from “Samson and Delilah.” One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the caroling at Christ- mas time. Almost the entire student body assembled and marched through the streets singing the old familiar carols, giving cheer to the shut-ins. Occasionally we have the pleasure of hearing other musical talents and organizations of the school. The willing response which Miss Andrews has received from those participating in these special programs has been most gratifying to her. Visitors are always welcome, and there have been many during the year to enjoy the music with us. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 93 ®he Hural Club CLUB OFFICERS Hayden Anderson, President Alta Twombley, Secretary Katharine Leavitt, Vice-President Maude Stuart, Treasurer Executive Committee Miss Stone. Chairman Marjorie Steen Cordelia Barnard Alice McLaughlin This is the third year that the classes in rural sociology of the Gorham Normal School have been organized into the Rural Club, the purpose of which is to unite the classes so that an increased amount and higher quality of work may be accomplished. In both its social and financial activities the club has been very success- ful this year. It has had two speakers and one illustrated lecture. The first speaker was Miss Evelyn Hodgdon, teacher of the rural practice school at West Gorham. Her talk on “What a Teacher May Mean to a Rural Com- munity,” was an expression of help and encouragement, and was greatly appreciated by all. The second speaker was Miss Florence Hale, State Agent for Rural Education. She told about her lecture tour through the West, and in a speech varied with humor and full of practical advice, she showed many of the opportunities open to the rural teacher who is willing to be a rural leader. The club also had an illustrated lecture. Miss Gertrude Stone, by word pictures and slides, gave an interesting presentation of the beauties of the Canadian Rockies. The proceeds of the lecture were expended to purchase a copy of McLellan's “History of Gorham.” The book has been presented to the school library and it is hoped by the members of the club that it will prove very helpful to later students in this course, especially in making the survey of Gorham. The club this year surely accomplished its aim in uniting the classes in rural sociology and in inculcating in its members a deeper interest in rural conditions. 3Mi GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 95 internal P oar it Editor-in-Chief...................................................

The Japanese Girl.” given on the evening of February 27th. in the gym- nasium. The stage was appropriately decorated with Japanese lanterns, crysanthemums and rose blossoms. The operetta was a success because of the untiring efforts of Miss Andrews, the director, and the co-operation of the cast, consisting of members from both senior and junior classes. The idea of this operetta was suggested by reading an account of a picturesque cus- tom prevalent in some parts of Japan. When a near relative has to be absent from home for a considerable period he leaves behind a growing plant, young tree, or singing bird, which is called by his name and regarded as his substitute. The greatest care is bestowed on this object, as it is considered most unlucky to the person whom it represents, should any harm befall it during his absence. The first act opens by a number of Japanese girls visiting O Hanu San. a young Japanese beauty who is about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, regarded in Japan as the coming of age.” Some amusement is caused by Chaya. her faithful servant, who appears to be over- burdened by work. The story is told in the dialogue and songs and contains many amusing and interesting situations. In the second Act. two American girls who arc touring in Japan with their governess for education and pleasure, are compelled by curiosity to enter the garden, and while their governess is sketching they slip away from her. The Japanese girls returning resent the intrusion of a foreigner and awaken the governess, who has fallen asleep at her easel and pretend not to understand her ex- planations. O Hanu San comes to her rescue and in the end invites the American ladies to remain as her guests and witness the interesting and quaint ceremonies which are about to commence. They accept gratefully and win the hearts of all. CHARACTERS O Hanu San (Beautiful Flower), a Japanese girl of position. O Kitty San (Sweet Chrysanthemum), ) Her Cousins.

Considering the small number of boys in the school, a large number of candidates faithfully attended practice and the outlook for the basketball season was very promis- ing. T he team was under the leadership of Captain Trcthewey, who proved an able one for this position. The managership of the quintet was held by Gregory, to whom thanks and appreciation are given for preparing such an interesting schedule and so attending to the business transactions that the season could not be called one of financial failure, but of success. Throughout the season the team members played their very best, and although the percentage of the games won was low, their ability in the sport was great, and every game played was one of interest and thrills to the spectators. With very few exceptions the games were very close. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 105 We want to especially thank the girls who attended the games so faith- fully and who. by doing so. made the season one of success. The support we received was very creditable taking into consideration the facts that the student body is so largely made up of girls, and other social functions coming so often which were possibly more interesting to them than a boys’ basket- ball game. The team for next year will be an entirely new lineup, as every member of the first squad this year will be graduated. The material now in the junior class is sufficient in itself to make up a winning team, but with the next class coming in there may be more material and if so. this will enable G. N. $. to put out a championship squad. The basketball five of this season leave in hopes that this will be the outcome for the season of 1924-1925. Summary of Games The first game of the season was played with Westbrook High School at Cumberland Hall. Westbrook. Although the G. X. S. boys were at a great disadvantage in such a small hall, by their continuous fighting spirit they “nosed” out victorious with a score 26-22. This game was a rather rough one but due only to the fast work of both teams on the small floor space. Lewis showed good shooting form and caged three baskets from the floor. The other players also proved to be good shots and the defensive work was very commendable. The Portland University boys were the next victims, and although it was not an easy game, it was exceptionally hard fought by both teams which made it very interesting for spectators to watch, as the score signifies. Score 13-10. Captain Trcthcwey was the outstanding player of this game and scored the greatest number of points. Gorham Normal School met its first defeat when they played Sanford High School in the G. N. S. gym. The game was very closely contested, with the score sec-sawing back and forth throughout the period of play. The most exciting part of all was during the last two minutes of play with Gorham one point in the lead; the Sanford lads caged four field goals and one foul, leaving the score 17-25. The game was not very rough but several personal fouls were called and when Gorham was forced to substitute during the last few minutes of play, the teamwork seemed to be broken up. We do not think that our substitutes were not competent players, but of course they could not very well go into a game with only a few minutes to play and do the same teamwork which the other players were doing after playing the entire game. The Gorham quintet met their next defeat at the hands of the Biddcford High School boys at Biddeford. Again the hall proved a severe handicap to the G. X. S. boys, being cvccedingly long with a very low ceiling. The game was clean and well played, but our forwards were both substituted and of course we could not expect to win against a team who was so closely our match from the beginning. Nevertheless, as the score shows, we were only defeated by a slight margin. Score 29-34. The strong Westbrook quintet next came to the Gorham Normal gym with a set fight and determination spirit to win. The opposition which they received from the G. N. S. boys sent them home with a defeat on their books. It was a hard-fought game and the scores were very close throughout. This made the Gorham lads 100 per cent perfect as far as Westbrook was concerned. It might be well to mention that Westbrook had probably the strongest high school quintet in the State and the only reason they were not entered at the Bates tournament was on account of the fact that they had played most of their games on their home floor. The final score of this game was 19-16. GREEN’ AND WHITE 106 In some respects the season seemed to be stamped with ill luck to the Normal School team, and a sample of it is well shown in the following game with Gould’s Academy. It was probably as fast a game as was played the entire season and also the cleanest. As usual the scores were very close to each other throughout, and up to the last fifteen seconds of play the Gorham five led by one point. At this time an Academy guard hooped a lucky basket from the center of the hall and then the final whistle blew, leaving the score 2 2-23 in favor of Gould’s Academy. We do not begrudge any of our op- ponents the victories they take from us. but those taken in the above manner would not necessarily mean that their team was any stronger than ours, but due almost wholly to luck, as it is probably best termed. The next game of the season was played with Gorham High School in the town hall. As in other towns similar to Gorham, the rivalry between the two schools is always very great and reminds one. to a certain extent, of the annual town meeting. The townspeople made up almost the entire audience and by their spirit and cheering for the high school during the first half, proved to be the undoing of the Normal five. The players did not seem to fill their positions but during the second half the score was greatly changed and the team staged a strong comeback and the only thing which saved the high school lads was the final whistle. Score 21-24. The return game with Bid deford High School was next played in the G. N. S. gym. This team had made an excellent record for themselves throughout the State and were, at the end of the season, champions of the high schools in this State. The game was very speedy from beginning to end and was certainly the most exciting of the season. With only three minutes to play. Gorham was forced to make a substitution on account of personal fouls, with the score 13 to ( in favor of the Green and White. Biddeford forged ahead and at the end of the final period the score was a tic. 13-13. In the following five minutes overtime period the Gorham boys seemed to lack confidence and the visitors succeeded in caging two floor goals, thus leaving the final score 13-17. With so much hard luck against us. the team became somewhat weak- ened in spirit, and when we later played Sanford High School at Sanford, we proved easy victims. This game was one in which we suffered our greatest defeat of the season. Score 14-25. Our next game was played in our own gym with Brunswick High School. The Brunswick five were excellent players and gave us one of the hardest fought games of the season. The score throughout was in favor of Gorham, but by a margin of only one or two points. The final score. 13-0. The return game with Gorham High School brought a large crowd of the town folk to the Normal gym with the same spirit shown when we played the high school boys in the Town Hall. The game seemed to be inevitably in the Normal fives’ favor and at the end of the third quarter the boys of the Green and White led by several points. The high school boys then staged a rallv and when the final whistle blew were victorious by one basket. Score. 25-27. To play our next game we journeyed to Bethel, where we again faced the Gould’s Academy five who did not lose a game on their home floor during the year. We did not expect a victory, but we surely gave them the hardest game of the season, and left a score with the winning points the smallest left by any other team. The sportsmanship spirit shown by both teams was a very outstanding point and we sincerely hope that the same relations will be held up to the standard now set by all future teams representing our school. Score, 22-3 2. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 107 As the season gradually came to a close the spirit and confidence was lacking and when we went to Brunswick to play the return game, we met with defeat. The score signifies the manner of play. Score, 22-26. The last game of the season was played with Gray’s Business College of Portland. This game could not well he called an exciting one as the Port- land boys were no match whatever for the G. X. S. five. This was the largest, victorious score of the season, 33-7. The season ended, having lost nine games and won five. 10S GREEN AND WHITE m ( . (N. jsL (EaLenbar SEPTEMBER 11. Everyone happy to return to G. N. S. Get-together party in Center in evening.

And yet he had not seen—he must have smelled. I’ve passed the whole evening without a word. I was hurt. After we retired to our room I pored long over numerous catalogues. I saw one chance of happiness and I took it. Those were long days of waiting while the future of our little cottage, which we had bought with egg money, hung in the balance. One night he did not come home, but the next day he phoned and told me to expect him home for supper. Eagerly I prepared for his return. Our weeks of waiting were over. The mo- ment he entered the hall HE KNEW that I KNEW. He came to me. took me in his arms and thanked me. I had taken a course in domestic science at Gorham Normal School and in that course 1 had learned to cook soup without burning it. WHERE AND OH WHERE? On the twenty-fifth of March In the year of twenty-four. A lot of teams were scheduled For games on Normal floor. Excitement was intense And rivalry ran high As the time to find the winners Slow but sure was drawing nigh. Little is her horizon; Little her outlook on life; Little she cares for no other; Little, she will be his wife. Little she has for amusement; Little, her time for just him; Little her thoughts arc purely Little, her only whim. Each senior hunted up a dime. Each junior got one, too. For missing those class games Not a one would ever do. When at last dismissal came. They all started for the gym. And each player, she was ready To beat others with a vim. But in the halls the crowd was halted And sad, sad news did hear. The basketball was missing Tho they hunted far and near. So each one took her little dime With a sad and vengeful heart. And for the dorms on Normal Hill, Reluctantly did start. Little it is and has been, Little from September till June. Little her hope for the future Little for her honeymoon.

She thought she’d stepped On someone’s toe, She said. Scuse me,” She then said more— She found but a sneaker There on the floor.

And I’ve thought and rhymed and metered; My poor old head’s gone ’round and 'round. Till it's completely petered. Lest the crazy stunt we girls pulled off At the start of twenty-four. Should leave the college lads shocked and dazed. And frightened forevermore,— Brace up. boys, ’twas all in fun And we’ll never be foolish again; Though leap years may come as time goes past. We'll leave the proposing to men. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day By a Gorham Girl 6:45 Hear rising bell. Open your eyes. Turn over and go to sleep. 7:00 Same as before unless cercally in- clined. otherwise make grand dash for clothes and arrive in dining room one minute past (if bobbed). 8:20 Go to chapel, being sure to come in just after the bell has rung so Mr. Russell will know you're there. 8:30 Prepare to sleep tor three hours and fifteen minutes. Be sure to supply yourself with a note book and pen so the teachers will know what you are in class for. 12:15 Wake up joyously, and remember what day it is so you can grumble about what you're going to have for dinner. 1:50 Just dream from now until 3:15, as you had a good sleep in the morn- ing. 3:30 Rush madly down town to get a hot dog. if you are lucky, walk on the Main streets of the town with the young man of your choice. 6:00 Partake of a light repast. Then proceed to exercise actively so you won’t be too stiff when you have a chance to get out. 7:30 Borrow a Snappy Stories” from some one and prepare for a nice quiet evening. 10:13 After such a strenuous day it’s time to go to bed. VOCALIZING I woke in the early morning Roused from a lovely dream, For borne on the dewy air Echoed a woman's scream. It died down to a wavering cry And I listened with bated breath And I feared that some fair lady Was very near to death. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 113 As I lay there, frozen with terror, The sound burst forth again, And I knew by its rising and falling She must be in fearful pain. High and clear her voice rose upward And lingered on high C, Then with trills and screams and dashes Trembled down to middle G. Frightened more than ever I jumped out on the floor, For that poor woman’s voice Was soaring up once more. I peered out of my window— There was not a soul in sight ; But still that awful screaming Diminished not a mite. As, stricken with horror. 1 listened, She seemed to put on the brake And her voice portamentoed down And I gasped, “For mercy’s sake!” For I realized my neighbor, Helen To be indulging in a song. And instead of screaming at murder, As I’d been thinking right along, She’d been merely vocalizing, Practicing notes up high; So I clambered back to bed And settled down with a sigh. Then on thinking the matter over, I laughed till I started to weep, Till her tender tones on a lyric song Nearly put me again to sleep. Mistakes May Be Many Teacher: “When will this whispering cease? Miss Stilphcn (misunderstanding the question): “Next Thursday, the third period.” Anna hearing voices outside her door after lights were out. rushes forth in a rage: Say! How do you expect a hard working girl to get any sleep! Er—oh—.” Anna meekly and hastily returns to her room. Why? Let Anna tell. Excuse passed in on March 2nd: “My absence was on account of having a cold and a bad storm.” Miss Parker (in discussing a dramatiza- tion): The King wouldn’t take the Queen’s arm like that, it isn’t court eti- quette. D. Jackson: “No. that isn’t court eti- quette, it's courting etiquette.” BEFORE AND AFTER These teachers stood on the schoolroom floor And taught their lessons o’er and o’er, But their pupils’ heads were so awfully thick Not a bit of knowledge would in them stick! The poor girls wept and tore their hair And finally gave up in great despair. These teachers stood on the schoolroom floor And taught their lessons o’er and o’er, Used problems and project and group work, too, And lesson plans as good schoolma'ams do For they had been trained in the teaching art And gained success from the very start. Woody (in civics): “Name some per- sons whose duty it is to protect against accident.” C. Glidden: Secret Society Men.” Of what was Christine thinking? 114 GREEN AND WHITE Miss Keene: “What arc contour feathers?” M. Riley: They are the exterior feathers. We Think It’s a Case of Spring Tonic Teacher: Of what is sulphur a com- pound?” Miss Hall: It is a compound of sul- phur and molasses.” There are sweethearts just before me— In fact, they’re all around. And results of Cupid’s shots In profusion do abound. They clutter up the doorways And they loiter through the halls; With great sadness comes the parting When the voice of duty calls. And I wonder, Tis the weather Or the charming menfolk here, Or perhaps the girls are using The advantages of leap year. There's a girl in our school Who docs things against the rule. Our little friend does like the boys And when they come near—oh! what a noise, She raises her voice and her feet. too. The boys who don't like her arc very few. Our little lassie is lovable—yes, lovable we’ll say. For if it wasn’t so. the men wouldn’t act this way. Now if you can’t her name guess I’ll give you just a little jest— Merry’s her disposition. Folly’s her great ambition. Now do you know this miss? But we’ll take it all back From end to start, For we all know truly she’s a good kid at heart. But no matter how hard he looked His love came not in sight. The moments were flying fast. Still she came not in view; The time would soon be gone— What could the poor boy do? That front scat looks so lonesome. And the boy looks so sad— Won’t someone fetch the girl To cheer up the dear sweet lad? Socialized lesson: Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Miss Norton: The juice was put on Titania’s eyes so that when she woke she would fall in love with the first thing she saw, whether it was a girl, or an animal, or EVEN A MAN.” To the station rushed a senior— Boarded there the cast bound train, Heading straight for G. N. S. And beloved work again. When she landed at the schoolhouse On that fine though chilly morn. Much surprised she gazed around her For the place was most forlorn. No chattering schoolmates did she hear, Nor the big bell’s welcoming tune, So that senior went back home— She had come a day too soon. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 115 ACTIVITIES Down in Gorham there's a gym; In the gym there is a chair; In the chair a maiden fair Tilted back against the wall. Now the wall was far away And the floor was polished, too, So that maiden out of view Slipped so sudden, sad to say, Just a pair of dangling feet ’Neath the chair rounds we espied. Oh, help me up! a wee voice cried. My collapse is most complete!'' T. T. T. or THE TEACHER’S TALE I wandered in the twilight And sat down on a “Stone;” I thought I heard a Russell,” Alas, 'twas but a moan. A tender-hearted Chaplin.” “Wood-ward. too, had hied. An' drew his lovely Jordan” To Park—(h)cr” by his side. The task was unsuccessful That’s why the groan, so Keene. The “We(a)ther bc(e)”ing sunshine” Made Ry(e)an” buckwheat green. This “Chaplin.” young and beautiful, Had with him Halliday,” And a conversation Cilley” Was all I heard them say. “The Gorham Normalitcs,” said he, Will some day win a crown If they ever keep on plugging. Though their hairs be not all ‘Brown’. But Willis” says that exercise Will keep them strong and gay And JefTerds” out with the remark That cats arc their main stay. I lingered longer, more intent To hear what else I might And methought I heard the Stone” say, Arithmetic or fight!” The Russell grew still Keener In its murmur to the Ry An if I heard correctly. It said. Work till you die!” Again I calmly waited Another tale to hear; The woods became all silent And in my heart was fear. Then 1 saw ’twas growing darker, And with neither fuss nor frill, I retraced my former footsteps Back to dear old Normal Hill. The Teachers’ Favorite Pastimes Miss Ryan—Giving travel trips. Miss Stone—Assigning reports. Mr. Russell—Arguing. Miss Andrews—Finding do. Miss Halliday—Assigning work in gen- eral. Miss Keene—Feeding suet to the birds. Miss Jordan—Breaking up parties. Mr. Woodward—Keeping us busy. Mr. Parker—Teaching us etiquette. Miss Wetherbec—Having us do repeti- tion and central balance. Miss Jefferds—Making soup. A radio my brother’s got— It came this week you know; He surely has a ripping time (When he can make it go.) He’s put it in the dining room, A sunny window near. And there he sits the whole day through The receiver at his car. He gives the thingumbob a poke And twirls a jigger round. And forth from out of that machine Comes a doleful, whining sound. .:=== jf 116 GREEN AND WHITE He twirls the jigmarandy And gives something else a spin; While the rest of us. we gather round For a chance to “listen in.” We hear some high-flown artist Do gymnastics with her throat; Then some modern lecture Will through the ether float. Anything from bedtime stories To the latest stock quotation, Comes to us from far-off cities By means of this creation. Paderewski in Chicago May play a piece for us; Then on a European question Some prof will make a fuss. From Boston town to old New York These messages they come; Newark, Schenectady and Springfield All make the wires hum. Just by turning those black things “Tuning in” the process's called— Anything you may desire From the outside air is hauled. You can hear a good band concert And some dance stuff when it's o’er, Or there’s sure to be a lecture If jazz becomes a bore. Oh. I think it’s truly marv'lous. Way we sit right in our chair And hear these different things That are floating through the air. If of all our great inventions I could choose just one for mine, You can bet a radio Would suit me every time. THOSE GORHAM GIRLS A senior stood on the railroad track And closely scanned the sky, Nor did she move despite the fact That a roaring train drew nigh. Another watch in a blizzard fierce A storm-tossed weary mite, As it sought a refuge among the trees And was finally lost to sight. A third girl stood in a snowbank deep Beneath an old elm tree And gazed and gazed at its topmost branch— What could the matter be? Two other girls climbed hill and vale With their heads way up in the air; They closely scanned each bush and tree, What sought this wand’ring pair? A sixth one stood on a Portland street Heeding not the passing throng. Her upturned face was full of joy As she heard the notes of a song. Still another stood in melting snow, One beautiful day in spring, And kept her eyes on the bough of a tree Where rested a tiny thing. And I could go on and on and on. Telling of actions queer; But you'd think we seniors were out of our heads And objects of pity, I fear. The truth of it is. as I tell you now, That each of these Gorham lasses Was an industrious member at G. N. S. Of one of the bird study classes. GORHAM NORMAL SCHOOL 117 SLANG—NOTHING BUT O. Muses of Greece and Rome That come at a poet’s call; And ye of Alfred and Gorham I want you one and all. Gather round about me And list while I tell my tale; There’s a terrible task before me, Mere thoughts of it turn me pale. I’ve attempted to write a poem (As fools will often do), But scared at the very outset, I had to call on you. “Writing a poem is easy,” I note you smilingly say, You bet your life it is, Had you a year, a week or a day. But you see my time is limited, Five minutes only are mine In which to write a poem Down through the ages to shine. So get down to work, O Muses, Stop laughing in shameless glee, Do you think it was only for pleasure That you received a call from me? Won’t you please compose some poetry? For goodness' sake, help me out! Hustle up, you crazy dumb-bells, One minute's gone up the spout. And wc haven’t a single thing written And the time is going fast— Minutes don’t wait for Muses, There goes the second one past. Aren’t you going to start composing? I'll tell the world you’re slow, Get a wiggle on, O Muses, Quit watching the minutes go. For I can do that myself, Hot puppy! There’s number three, Only two minutes now arc left In which I may honored be. My brains arc rattling like a Ford machine But I’m no progress making, For the love of Mike, I believe those Muses Yours truly arc forsaking. And the minutes are nearly up Will you cop that number four? I guess I'm in over my head J gotter beat it for shore. But I'm not quitting you tell the world This is too much fun, sakes alive, If those nutty Muses had helped me out, Timenation! There’s number five. My poem’s not done and the time’s all up Now there’s the dickens to pay, But who in thunder can write a poem When there's positively nothing to say. DRAMATIS PERSONNAE Wilice, an aesthetic maiden.

Did he not prove it so? Mention he not The magic bell. (Company looks blank.) In the vernacular of the age, He is nutty.” Judge (to the jury). You have heard the accusations brought against this pair from two sources. You also have heard the plea of the young maid, also has the conduct of the too presuming young gentleman been elucidated. Law, according to the “Statutes of the Realm of Fairy Glen,” revised edition of 1924, states: “Any person or persons who knowingly trespass on the hunting grounds of Queen Katherines without a special permit, or who use the said place as a ‘salad factory' for manifestation of their softness and greenness, or who willfully tres- passes on the grounds allotted to the royal deer and harts, though they may be indulging in or observing ‘calf love,' shall be summoned to court, and if found guilty, be put under guard for life, neither to be seen in the company of the oppo- site sex, or to marry unless pardoned by the queen herself.” 120 GREEN AND WHITE Juror Holliday. Your Honor, under the prevailing Circumstances let me offer this “suggestion. That we pronounce this pair NOT GUILTY. Judge. Since the existing circumstances Were seemingly unprcvcntable, I most heartily agree with Jury's Proffered verdict. I declare this pair acquitted. EXEUNT Act III—Scene 1 A year later. Wilice, a much changed person, wanders aimlessly down Lovers' Lane. The silence is broken by the patter of hoofs. A horseman comes into view. He reaches the side of the maiden and dismounts. Brown.
