We have attempted to give you a perma- nent record of some of the acts and scenes in the fascinating drama of the School Year. While we believe that All the world's a stage, and the men and women in it merely players, We also believe that much of the richness of life is furnished by those mere players . So, as you turn the pages of this little book, you will see something of the scenic back- ground and settings, and will read the events of the play, but the great interest will be in the Dramatis Personas-the Faculty and Students of the Gorham Normal School.

Have I led Youth safely along the way PU I will ask myself at night. Shall I look for beauty or faces fair? No, rather I'll look for truthg And if truth is found then beauty is there, In the beautiful face of Youth. Itis the hope of the world that listens to me. God grant that my words ring true, That they are to Youth what I'd have them be, And that when the day is through May the sense of duty fittingly done Be present my spirit to soothe. Then a tribute high I'll know I've won In the beautiful eyes of Youth. Oh, why should I care for creed or race Or birth, in a land of the free? Let me look in the eyes of a youthful face And read there the pedigree. Let me learn, through those windows of the VVhich is fitting of rigor or ruthg And always remember immortal and whole Is the beautiful soul of Youth. For when all is said and done in the world And the ends of all things comeg When the banner of God, at last unfurled, Calls all of His children homeg If thereis one thing endures to the end of all And proves to be ulti1nate truth, I know it now, and it's what I call The beautiful faith of Youth.

ED Principal of Gorham Normal School To the Editors of the GREEN AND WHITE! I am writing this on the anniversary of the opening of the Gorham Normal School. The date was January 29, 1879. Eighty-Hve young men and women entered the school at that time. All but eight of the eighty-five came from Cumberland and York Counties. Most of them were not high school grad- uates. Many of them came directly from the rural schools, others had taught a term or two before entering the normal school. Present students at the Gorham Normal School should not entertain any feeling of superiority, however, because of their more generous general education. The graduates of fifty- seven years ago were as well qualified to meet the requirements for teaching in their day as are the graduates of 1937 to meet the greatly advanced requirements of this day. Those graduates of fifty-seven years ago went out and made a splendid record in the field of teaching, as have the graduates who have gone out year by year since. They took such teaching positions as were available and earned from year to year promotions until they were found in many of the best teaching positions not only in this State but in other States as well. The Class of l937 will profit by the enviable records pre- ceding classes have made. Graduates of earlier days have been building up in the minds of employing superintendents con- fidence in the character, personality, and efficiency of Gorham Normal School graduates. This conlidence opens the door for the new teacher to an interview and employment. It is a privilege and the task of us now in the Gorham Normal School to keep that door open, Walter E.

FRANCES MERRILL s At the close of the third act the curtain called Com- mencement 1937 falls, bringing with it our exit from the stage of Gorham Normal School. We have enjoyed the privilege of being the lirst full cast to present a three-act drama on this stage. Indeed, We have played many parts . Some, as they were assigned, seemed too difficult, but with excellent coaching and wise prompting We have found our- selves able to enact each one as it came. But even as the curtain falls, remembering that it is called Commencement , We are eagerly Waiting for it to rise again, bringing our entrance into another drama. We trust that here We may take the right cue and portray successfully Whatever role is assigned to us on the broader stage of life.

Thy green showest life in its spring, at the morn Ere our brows have been wrinkled with care g 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 awayg 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.

I wanted to be a machinist, but in the Guidance Club at school I studied the trade more carefully and found I didnit have all the qualifications a good mechanic should have. TOM: What is a Guidance Club? I haven't heard anything about one of those things. JERRY: That's just it. In some schools they never seem to teach anything but the same old three R's. TOM: VVell, what is it, anything? JERRY: It is a club organized in the schools to help boys and girls to find out whether or not they will succeed in the life work they think they want. They make a thorough study Of whatever they want to do in later lite. Some people think the clubs are no good, but if a fellow finds out whether or not he can be fitted for a trade while he is still in school, he won,t have to go back and start all over on a new trade. TOM: It sounds good. Maybe they will put those clubs in all schools some day. JERRY: Let's hope so, anyway. RALPH DAVIS. THE HOBBY CLUB Scene: Lunch period at noon. Characters: Bill, a new boy at G.

John, a new student, also interested in athletics. Scene: After John's first school day in Gorham. The two boys are walking home from school discussing athletics. JOHN: At the Sacred Heart School in Portland we had basketball for our major sport. VVhat do you have for athletics in the Junior High? PINK: Oh, we have a good team in basketball and baseball, and a large variety of sports and games at recess. JOHN : We had a good team at Sacred Heart, too. You probably know we were the champions of the Portland Grammar School League. Say, by the way, Iim going in town Saturday! How would you like to have me arrange a basketball game between the Junior High School and Sacred Heart? PINK: That would be grand! We always have made a lot of basketball here. In the Assembly Hall there are three plaques which our basketball teams have won in the last two years. Our arch rival is the Frederick Robie School in the northern part of this town. VV e would like to tackle Sacred Heart, though. JOHN: I think I can arrange a game with them. VV hat are some of the teams you've beaten this year? PINK: So far this year we have two wins over the John Andrew School of XVind- ham, Bridgton High School Freshmen and VVestbrook High School Freshmen and one win Over Frederick Robie. JOHN: Have you any games yet to play? PINK: Oh, yes! One more with Frederick Robie, and, we hope. one with Sacred I leart. JOIIN: In Portland we couldn't have any baseball team because we had no place to practice or play. page fifty-fire PINK: We have a baseball diamond of our own which we use mostly for practice. Then we use the town's field to play on when the Normal School or High School doesn't occupy it. JOHN: What are the prospects for your baseball team this year? PINK: Well, we lost quite a few good men from last year's team, but of course all schools lost some men. There are live veterans back and the outlook doesn't look too bad. JOHN: By the sound, I should say you make quite a good deal of athletics here at Junior High. PINK: Yes, we do. It gives the boys something to work for, and of course it is good training for them. Then we take short trips to play other schools and we meet and get acquainted with other players. lt also helps to teach sportsman- ship and fair play. JOHN: Yes, I think that's true. By the Way, what opportunities do you have for boys who fail to make the grade in basketball and baseball? PINK: For those boys who fail to get into these major sports, we have many games which are played at recess. We play softball, soccer, bat ball and volley- ball in the fall and spring. In the winter, the Normal School lets us have its gymnasium for various games and gymnastics. This gives everybody a chance to receive some physical training. PHILIP GOODRICH. THE DRAMATIC CLUB Time: After school in June. Place :. School grounds. Characters: Quinn, ninth grade. MARSH : Marsh, eighth grade. VVhat club would you advise me to join next year? QUINN Well, l think the Dramatic Club would be the best. MARSH VVhy not the Hobby Club? QUINN You have been in that club this year. You need the practice of speaking and taking parts in plays and operettas. BTARSH2 ls that all? QUINN: No, it will help you in English, Ancient History. and Science. You see. you have belonged to the Hobby Club and you already have a good start on your hobby. MARSH : You say it will help me in different subjects. How will it help me?

We meet every Tuesday in the club period. Miss Andrews comes down from the Normal School. We tune up and then we play selections in the nature of old and patriotic songs, marches, waltzes, overtures and some others. But not only do we have fun in rehearsals. The orchestra plays at all of the school programs that require music, so we never miss any entertainment in that line. Occasionally we play outside the school at town affairs and public programs. I should say We did have fun. VV ell, I think I shall go home and do some work for Iny mother. Let's plan to play tennis this afternoon, Philip.

This called for the elimination of nearly all schools of other types from the schedule. In order to qualify for conference rating this year, it is necessary to play at least four schools with a total of at least six games. Gorham played a total of five schools with a total of eight league games. We won four and lost four, which gave us the standing of middle scorer of the seven teams in competition. Each year there is chosen an All-Conference first team, and Austin was deservedly chosen to be one of the live. Knapton was chosen to be one of the five of the second team. For the first time in basketball history, Gorham's squad defeated Keene Teachers' College. Other high spots of the season included the following: Two impressive victories over Hyannis Teachers' College. A one-point defeat at the hands of Hebron Academy. Coming from behind to take over Rhode Island College of Education. The excellent work of the cheer leaders under the fine leadership of Arthur Boswell. page .ri.1'ly-one BASEBALL Front row: C.

The interclass games proved to be an exciting sequel to basketball. This seems to be an ever increasingly popular sport for the number that came out every Tuesday and Thursday was certainly encour- aging to the coaches. Volley ball acts as a spring tonic at Gorham, pepping up the participators and bringing down their waistlines. So, remember, instead of sulphur and molasses, adopt the more pleasant substitute of-Volley Ball. HOCKEY Wihen fall comes around the corner and the breezes nip your nose, the lassies of Gorham Normal don their rompers and play field hockey. It is said that this game comes down from the Irish game of 'fShintyy' and the Scottish game of Hurley, It was played on sea beaches with 20 to 30 players. A hard knot of wood was used for a puck, and the players were armed with roots of trees for sticks. Thanks to civilization, Gorham has the modern version of the game. TENNIS Tennis is one of the most popular and active sports of Gorham Normal School. The VVomen's Fall Tennis Tournaments were very successfully carried through, under the leadership of Marion Allen, tennis councilor. The winner of the Advanced Tournament was Dorothy Wiggiiii the runner- up, Mary Shepard. Mary Cullinan took first honors in the Beginners' Tournament, and Cecile Clement making a close second. At the tennis banquet held in East Hall dining room, it was announced that Jane Christiansen was elected tennis councilor for 1937. CAMPFIRE Although it was a small group this year, Campfire, under the leadership of Miss Flint, has been on the whole very successful. Early in the fall, supper hikes were enjoyedg later a very successful semi-formal dance was sponsored in Center. February saw the First meeting of the girls interested in the leadership of training course. This course has been conducted by Mrs. Elizabeth Spear, the local execu- tive of Portland.

Gorham Normal School sent four delegates: Idella Jackson, Ann Gardner, Stanley Gay, and Ernest Doyle. Miss jackson was a speaker on the first panel, and Mr. Doyle was an alternate on the second panel. The Student Forum met at the Statler Hotel with about three hundred other delegates. The two main topics under discussion were Student Participation in Government and Support of Student Activities. These topics were first discussed bv the panel members and then by the student delegates. The Association members and the student delegates met at the Twentieth Century Club for a joint banquet. Dr. Charles Russell spoke highly of the results obtained in the Forum discussions. The Association voted to make the Student Forum a regular part of the Associationls new program. Representatives from the New England Teacher Training Institutions will meet with Dr. Charles Russell next spring to plan for the next meeting of the Association. - Dr. Russell, the four student delegates and the faculty delegate, Miss Flint, gave the student body a report of this convention in chapel November 13th. Our solutions of problems concerning student government, commuters' room, point systems and types of chapel programs were compared with the methods used by other schools who were represented at the convention. ANN GARDNER. page seventy-four REPORT OE THE NEW YORK CONVENTION The twelfth annual convention of the Eastern States Association of Pro- fessional Schools for Teachers was held April 16 and 17 at the Hotel Com- modore, New York, N. Y. The Gorham Normal School delegates at the conference separated and attended different meetings, all of which took place at the Hotel Commodore. The student meetings of the conference began Friday morning April 16. The conference expressed the desire for improved personalities of both teacher and pupil which would result in better relations between the faculty and students, so that our schools would be recognized not only for academic absorption of books but also for the intelligent search for truth both by pupil and teacher. School is defined as the place where there is an atmosphere of honest inquiry. The meetings which we attended on Friday considered the following problems: 1. Scholarship-What It Is and How It Is Achieved. 2. Student-Faculty Relations-What They Should Be and How They Are Achieved. 3. Social Affairs Most Interesting and Satisfactory in a Teachers, College. Saturday, the. summaries of all the main topics taken up the previous day were outlined. Added to the summaries were the following subjects, a discussion over which was opened to those present: 1. Guidance in a Teachers' College. 2. Mental and Emotional Tension Which Faculty and Col- lege Programs Sometimes Impose on Students. The value of such open forum discussions plus the value of primary analysis of each subject both by faculty representative and then by a student was unquestioned by anyone who attended the conference. To hear how Teacher Colleges along the Atlantic Coast were meeting the same problems that we were having at Gorham was educational and profitable. Here, to me, lay the value of having our school represented at such a large convention. VVe exchange experiences with othersg we contribute to others and we receive in return knowledge gained by trial and practice in similar circum- stances. The honor and the experience that comes to a delegate of the Eastern States Convention is great. Mr. Card and I express our appreciation with that of our faculty delegates, Miss Keene and Mr. Packard, for the privilege of representing the Gorham Normal School. 1 CATHERINE JOYCE. page sevezzly-Jive DR. RUSSELIJS DAY Our second annual Dr. Russell's Day proved to be even more successful than the first. This day dedicated to our principal, Dr. lValter E. Russell, provided an opportunity for the promotion of social intercourse between students and faculty. Regardless of unfavorable weather conditions, relay and obstacle races started off the events of the day. The next stop was Russell Hall Gymnasium where exciting games of mixed volley ball were played. A After a short lunch, all baseball fans rushed to the athletic field to engage in an amusing game, involving faculty and students. Our major sport, basket- ball, was carried on in the gymnasium in two interesting games by the young women and the young men. The closing event of the sports was a battling game of tennis between two mixed double teams. Dr. Russell, our guest speaker at the evening banquet in East Hall, was introduced by Ernest Doyle, the toastmaster. Gther speakers of the evening included Miss VVood and Mr. Packard of the faculty, and Mary Shepard and Philip Grover, representatives of the Athletic Associations. Grindle's Swing Band swung the day to a perfect close with a dance in Center. Dr. Russell's Day has proved its worth for two successive years, and promises well to become one of the most popular of Gorham Normal's most popular traditions. It provides pleasure and interest for all tastes and moods, and brings faculty and students together in a day of wholesome rivalry and fun. Page .rvzwzly-si.1' GORHAM NIGHT O11 Saturday, April 3, 1937, a group of Gorham Normal School students, together with Miss Miriam Andrews and Mr. Hayden L. V. Anderson, motored to Portland to participate in a radio program over Station WCSH. This was the last broadcast in the Maine Schools on the Air Series, which were under the personal supervision of Mr. Harrison C. Lyseth, State Director of Secondary Education. The program was a half hour in length and was opened by Sousa's NVashington Post March played by the school orchestra, Mr. Lyseth announcing. The second selection by the orchestra was the well-known In a Monastery Garden by Ketelby. This was followed by a brief talk by Virginia Knight of Gorham on Opportunities for Teacher Training at Gorham Normalf, Adelbert Foss of VVestbrook played a piano solo, At the Bonnybrook Fairy' by Scott. Next were heard two selections by the men's glee club, Alma Mater, an old .American tune, and Massa Dear, a theme from Dvorak's Symphony From the New VVorld, with Richard Goodridge of Westlnrook singing the solo. Following these selections, a series of questions often asked by high school seniors concerning the Normal School were read by Idella Jackson of Wfaldoboro and answered by Mr. Anderson, Principal of the Training School, in the absence of Dr. Russell. The broadcast was brought to a close with the school song, Cheer on Cheer, by the combined orchestra and glee club. page sfwlzly-scz'e1z Srflfl f 1 ' MSX . Rl gm f D , i ' J ' XX 1 ,.
