D., PRINCIPAL OF GOULD ACADEMY FROM 1897 to 1936 PRINCIPAL EMERITUS FROM 1936 T0 1940, ATRUE FRIEND. TEACHER, SCHOLAR, AND OUTSTANDING LEADER IN THE HISTORY OF GOULD ACADEMY, THE FACULTY AND STUDENT BODY DEDICATE THE ACADEMY HERALD OF 1940 Er. .Frank 4 hnmrh iaanarnm You Will forgive me l hope if in this little and unworthy tribute to him who has gone, I speak briefly a11d very simply-without rhetoric or attempted oratory. He whose loss we mourn would have been the last, I think, to wish his passing marked by bonibast or by show. Like most men of real greatness and nobility, he was one whose conduct ,was marked by simplicity, directness, and an utter absence of pretense. It is the little man who seeks to conceal his diminutive stature by a11 atfectation of greatness. Few of you, I believe, have known Doctor Hanscom longer than l have. When he first arrived in Bethel to be- come principal of the Academy, I came with him and I had already been his pupil in another school for several years. Thus for nearly a half century I have had the opportunity to watch tho development and progress of this re-I markable man. I would be blind indeed if in that long period I had not observ- ed some of his qualities of mind and soul. Of his dignity, his industry. his earnestness of purpose. his ability to meet any situation with distinction. of his success in his chosen career I need not speak here among his pupils and friends to whom these things are so well known. After all, when one is gone. it is not of his success in the worldly sense that one likes to think but of character and of the goodness of his works. It matters not so much that, during his long service to the Academy. the single structure in which he began his duties gave way to many. or that its few pupils were multiplied several fold. XVhat really measured his greatness was the impress of his life and person- ality on the many students who came and went through the Academy doors. That he was a great teacher everyone who was ever under him could 11ot fail to recognize. He was so great a teacher that I have never seen nor expect to see again his like. But he was more than sa greatteacher. He was possessed of some inner and mysterious power which shone from his eyes so that by a mere look he could compel obedience and enforce discipline a11d make o11e guilty of any meaness hang his head in shame. He was the most friendly of masters yet one knew that he was mas- ter and knew likewise that he was al- ways just. How many boys a11d girls he encouraged to better work and better conduct I do not k11ow only because I do not know how many came into l1is school. Certainly no one who came in contact with him could escape his help- ful and uplifting influence. The good that he did is incalcuable. There are many here today who have been his pupils and who in their hearts know that much that they possess not only of knowledge but of character they owe to llllll. ' What more satisfactory life can we imagine than that of our old much loved teacher and friend. what great- er happiness than his, if his modesty did not prevent. him from realizing, as his years neared their Clld, that his teaching and example had entered into the lives of countless persons, had infiuenced them for good and that their character which he had helped to build and enrich, would in turn pass on perhaps to their children and their child'ren's children, so that in very truth his works shall have an immor- tality on this earth. In thinking sadly of those days when 4 THE ACADEMY HERALD I sat as a pupil at his feet, there came back to my memory his custom of hav- ing the students commit to memory and recite at morning exercises some worthwhile quotation of poetry or prose and then I remembered one of the old favorites which he must have heard many times repeated and which seems not inappropriate to this sad occasion: So live that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan. which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not. like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but. sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust. approach thy grave. Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. He, whom we mourn today, has so lived that, with uufaltering trust, he can approach and enter the portals of that mysterious realm. and we, who were his friends, with equal trust may feel assured that, his life well Spent, and free from all regret, he has in truth lain down to pleasant dreams.

NVe gathered outside the gym and marched in, taking our places beneath our class banners, to the rousing strains of the March of the Priests, played by our school band. Following came the address of wel- come by Rita Sails. Then the task of transferrng the Twentieth Century Club banner was performed by Eliza- beth Field. The class gift was present- ed by Murray Thurston, and then Mr. Philip Sayles made a speech of accep- tance. Mr. Sayles also dedicated Hans- com Hall, and then our new Holden Hall was dedicated by Dr. Frank Hans- com. A flute solo, Concertina executed by A11ton Mainente. was a treat for all of us. Noticeably fine was his graceful playing of the intricate portions. A fantasy, The Man of the Mo- ment. was presented by an excellent cast including: Gladys Clark. Elizabeth Field, Helen Gillis, John Larsen, Anne Logofet. Barbara Lyon, Lydia Norton, and Claire Tebbets. The valedictory was given by Helen Lowe. Diplomas were then awarded and the following honors conferred. Scholarship Cup: Class of '39 Election to National Honor Society: May- nard Austin, Elizabeth Field, Arlene Greenleaf, Helen Lowe.

The Alumni were victorious, with a final score of 12 to 8. In the evening there Was the usual com- mencement dance, featuring ,the orch- estra of Freddie King. We had a grand time lllltll 12 :30. when the dance broke up. So let us keep that Commencement eternally fresh in mind, and remember those who have left ns, as the old friends they were and always will be.

JUNIOR NOTES, 1940 In September, 1937, forty-four stu- dents were enrolled in the Freshman class at Gould Academy. The big event for us that year was the Freshman Re- ception, held Tuesday evening, October 5. After this, because we danced so poorly at the Reception, the faculty de- cided that We had to have dancing les- sons. We were instructed by Miss Dor- othy Hanscom. After a month or more of lessons, they were discontinued, for by that time we were supposed to have mastered the gentle art of stepping on other people's toes. That year, instead of giving individual declamsations as THE ACADEMY HERALD 23 CLASS OF 1941 Photo by Kilby forinerly, we gave a llQ11l011StI'3.t1011 of ehoral speaking. At the annual election of officers, as Freshmen. we xeleuted the following: Filmore Clough. preside-ntg VVilbur Bull, vice-presidentg Barbara Luxton, secretary. In our Sophomore year we welcomed nine new members to our 1-lass. Vl'e elec- ted the following officers: Romeo Bak- er, presidentg Robert Perry, vice-pres: ident. Shirley Sim. secretary. That year. instead of giving declamations in the Assembly Hall. we were required to attend a weekly speevh Class. How we loved it! ln 1939 we Game back through the Golden Gates of VVisdom aS Juniors. Romeo Baker was again our president. Guy Swan our vice-president. -lune Fhipman was sieleeted as Secretary, and Marian Xxvlgfllt was our treasurer. Fif- teen new members were welcomed to our class this year. The Junior Prom was held in the YVilliam Bingham Gymnasium on Fri- day evening, April 19, with music furnished by -lan Grover's Orchestra. The color scheme for the deeorations was blue and white. The dance was well attended and we had a grand evening. And now that the history of the -lunior Class has been brought up-to- date. l'll just say so long. Fern Lane OPHO ORE OTE There was a hubbuh and flurry in the main room as friends met again or 24 THE ACADEMY HERALD CLASS OF 1942 Photo by Kilby new acquaintances chatted with each other, September 19. How big we '4Sophs felt to have graduated from the t'Greenie class, and to have be- come staid and dignified Sophomores. Some of our old members had not re- turned, but in their stead new students had arrived. Our class had the largest enrollment in the school. At our first class meeting. the follow- ing officers were elected: Virgil Adams. president. Muriel Bean. vice-president: Priscilla Abbott. secretary, Nicholas Amato, treasurer. As the school year progressed. and we once more got into the swing of things, we had a large percentagre of Sophomores represented in all school activities. Our class began to attain both scholastic and athletic heights, comparing favorably with other classes. The honor rolls and privilege lists al- ways contained the names of several of our class mates. The Debating Club had 6'Sophs,' in its midst, with Muriel Bean, Elizabeth Gorman. David Hol- den. Herbertina Norton, and Helen VVilliamson participating in the discus- sions. VVe were also well represented on the VVinter Sports Team by the follow- ing: Virgil Adams, Carlton Barker, Irving Cummings. and Elmer Runyon. The Sophomores placed third in the VVinter Sports Carnival Competition, with the following placing: Priscilla Abbott. Virgil Adams, Carlton Barker, Irvine Cumminffs. Rachel Field. Lewis Littlehale. and Elmer Runyon. A vote THE ACADEMY HERALD 25 of thanks was given to Nick Amato for selling the most Carnival tickets. lf you want to anger a Sophomore beyond description, mention the name of Herman, the bear. Herman was the unfortunate mascot of the girls' a11d boys' basketball teams. The girls' team was captained by Marian Colby, and was composed of Hope Bean, Emma Blake, June Enman, Rachel Field, Dor- othy Fish, Elizabeth Gorman, Madelene Jordan, Patricia Laverty, and Herbert- ina Norton. Herman brought great suc- cess for the first few games, and then he seemed to lose all interest. The Freshmen finally defeated us in the struggle for the championship. The same sad fate awaited the boys, only the Juniors. rather than the Freshies, won the championship. The boys' team was captained by Billy Robertson. and the other members were Whipple Abbe, Nicholas Amato. Levi Baker. Carlton Barker. Edward Bean, Lewis Littlehale, and Charles St. Thomas. During the past year, we have done our utmost to preserve the traditions of Gould and to make our class worthy of the wonderful opportunities provid- ed for us. lt is our earnest hope that. in the two years which lie before us at G. A., we may continue to participate ac- tively in scholastic and athletic activi- ties. and that we may carry with us at all times the memory of many happy days spent in Gould. Herbertina Norton FRESHMAN NOTES A very green Freshman Class en- tered the great door of knowledge of Gould Academy,.last September 19. The class was composed of fifty-two mem- bers then. but four new members have since joined us. Our class officers are: Malcolm Brown, president, Nora Chip- man, vice-president, Ida Lee Clough, secretary, Winfield Wight, treasurer. Our class colors are green and gold, and our motto is Not for one, but for all. After the Freshman Reception on Oc- tober l9, the first big event of the year, we felt we were full-fiedged Freshmen, and really belonged to the student body of Gould Academy. Our class has done well in athletics. Several of the boys, throughout the year. have showed much interest in track, football, basketball, and will. no doubt, show great interest in baseball. The girls' class basketball team won the honor of being the unde- feated team. Many of the Freshman girls went out for hiking, horseshoes, tennis. and volleyball. Several Fresh- man boys and girls took part in Gould's Winter Carnival on February 16 dlld 17. NVe hope to do better throughout our coming years. so that our class will have a place on the list of high-ranking classes in Gould History.

Irving Brown SCHOOL NOTES . September 19, 1939: This has been the first day of Gould's 104th year. How familiar everything looked this morning, and yet how many 11ew faces in our record enrollment of 228! In the faculty, too, are new faces. Our new house-master and instructor of English and Social Studies is Mr. Barlow T. Loomis, a graduate of Union College, Schenectady, New York. After serving in the World War, he was a member of the faculty of the Tome School of Port Deposit, Maryland. Sen- ior Master at the Wooster School, Dan- bury, Connecticut, a member of the faculty of Mamaroneck High School, Mamaroneck, New Yorkg alltl of the Collegiate Center at Schenectady. New York. Taking the place of NVilliam R. Soule is Mr. Rathbone, a graduate of Phillips-Exeter Academy, Exeter, New 2S THE ACADEMY HERALD Hampshire, and of Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont. he is now teach- ing English and History, and assists in the coaching of football and track. Our dormitories are wonderful now! VVe had thought the Marian True Gehr- ing Students' Home something to be proud of before. but now-I think all of us have swelled at least two inches since last year! The new maple furni- ture for our redecorated rooms, and furniture for our beautiful reception room certainly kills two birds with one stone-appearance and comfort! I hap- pened to pass by the serving room this morning, and what an improvement! Such convenient IIBWV shelves, and elec- tric washing machine, it sure does beat all ! l couldn't say a word about the new Holden Hall, it has to be seen to be ap- preciated! I only hope the pool table doesn't wear out to soon under it's constant use! Another addition to our campus are the newly planted trees. VVon't it be fun to walk about under these grand old friends when we return for our eighti- eth reunion! September 26, 1939: This afternoon the Esso Marketers showed us two moving pictures. The first, News in the Air, showed how news is gathered. edited, and distribu- ted for newspapers and radio. How true is the saying 'tnews travels fast ! The second picture was of a schooner trip around Cape Horn, with wind and giant waves. My kingdom for a yacht. October 6, 1939: To-night we had a rally in prepara- tion for our football game tomorrow, the first of the season. The captain of our football team, the coaches, and our weather prophet, Mr. Fossett, spoke to us, in addition we practiced cheering. As we left, we took care to see that the roof was still securely fastened on the gymnasium ! , October 7, 1939: Our fourth annual Parents' Day was a great success: the weather was per- fect and the attendance more than ever before. The football game with Bridg- ton Junior Varsity was fine, in spite of the fact that we were defeated. A dance in the gymnasium for we young folk, to the music of the Gould Acade- my Swing Band, followed the game. A tea in Holden Hall. poured by Mrs. El- lery C. Park and Mrs. Philip S. Sayles, was also well attended. October 19, 1939: The much anticipated, Freshman Re- ception is now a thing of the past. Af- ter the usual flurry of dressing and ar- riving on time at the gymnasium, WGS were conducted through a receiving line consisting of Principal and Mrs. P. S. Saylesg Principal Emeritus, Dr. Frank E. Hanscom and Mrs. Frank E. Hanscom, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Park, Senior Master, Carroll Bailey, and Mrs. C. P. Baileyg Dean of Girls. Margery F. Bailey, and the president and the sec- retary of the Senior Class. Irving Brown and Virginia Davis. Then came dancing until eleven o'clock. with mus- ic by Lordls Orchestra, and now comes bed! October 26, 1939: It 's so good to be home again tonight, with four days here ahead of me. I hope the teachers at their convention in Lewiston are having as good a time as I am! November 29, 1939 : This mornng in chapel service some of the students and the school choir en- tertained us with a Thanksgiving pro- THE ACADEMY HERALD 29 gram. And guess what!-nothing was said about ways to hold more 011 Thanksgiving! l'm sure 11Otl1ll1g was further from our thoughts as we en- tered our classes. November 30, 1940: Thanksgiving Day! There was a lus- cious dinner served at Gehring Home, with no studies to curb our appetites These days full of thankfulness should certainly be common with us! December 17, 1939: , l'm feeling V61'y Christmasy tonight! This afternoon we had a Vesper Ser- vi-ce in the gymnasium made up almost entirely of carols sung by the Girls' Glee Club a11d the Choir. A Christmas tree pointed upward on each side of the stage, and the light was furnished by a row of candles along the fro11t. lsn't Christmas a beautiful time of year! December 18, 1939: I feel a little as a contented cow looks-full, happy, and sleepy. Tonight was our Christmas party. The festivi- ties began with a Christmas Banquet in the dining room of the Gehring Stu- dents' Home, followed by a rush to the gymnasium for dancing. Just think, we go home tomorrow for our Christmas vacation. never to return Cuntil Janu- ary thirdj ! February 2, 1940: We heard the Carnegie Music Set this morning used in illustrating a talk on the progress of music through the ages, given by Mr. Anton Mainente. This set is a very new addition to Gould Academy, and we are always eager to hear more of it. After his pre- sent subject Mr. Mainente is going to help us get a better understanding of the opera Aida February 17, 1940: What a line Winter Carnival we have l1ad! Even the weather has been good to us. The fun began Friday night with skating and 111ovies, the events were to- day, and tonight's Carnival Ball capped the climax. The gymnasium was very effectively decorated, and Dick Pou- lin 's orchestra did a grand job. March 11, 1940: I was nearly crushed this morning in Gould Academy's mob scene-our new books could be take11 out for the first time today! There is a fine collection of 103 new books, ranging from the newest fiction, plays, short stories, poems. and biography to some of the older but 11one the less read stories. Now all we need is a vacation to read them in! March 12, 1940: This afternoon in Assembly Hall we were clearly shown how man's greed and wastefulness have caused our pre- sent soil erosion and H-Oods. Timber a11d soil conservation are certainly needed. The moving picture sponsored by the Department of Agriculture is 11ot one to be forgotten soon. March 13, 1940: 1 was idly looking through my diary today and in reading the entry under September 19, 1939 the phrase new faces caught my eye. VVe all wish Car- roll E. Bailey and Sally C. Sayles the greatest success i11 their newly em- barked careers! March 22, 1940: Spring vacation is really here. One would hardly know it by looking out the window, there's practically a bliz- zard ragingg but a little thing like that can 't fool us! 30 THE ACADEMY HERALD April 10, 1940: This morning in chapel the senior honors were announced: Anne Ring, Valedietorian, Sherman Williamson, Salutatorian ,gMary.Buck, Presenting of Class Giftg and Gurdon Buck, Present- ing of the Twentieth Century Banner. It makes graduation seem so near! April 15, 1940: In less than a Week Junior Prom, scheduled for April 19, will be a thing of the past. Isn't it too bad that we an- ticipate things for so l-ong, and the things themselves remain such a -short time! I'm sure we're all going to have a grand time. April 19, 1940: It is a Wonderful day today--blue sky, sun, and rapidly increasing stretch- es of snowless ground. Spring is real- ly here, and the end of school not far distant, only seven weeks! The Bacca- laureate speaker has not been announc- ed yet, but graduation will proceed about as usual. The Reverend Mr. Wal- lace will give the invocation, Mr. Sayles, the honors and diplomas, the four honor students will speak, and the benediction will be given by Reverend Mr. Gordon. There is to be a pageant. The Alumni Luncheon and a ball game will follow. the graduation exercises: and last, but not least, comes the Sen- ior Reception. Then goodbye Gould, till we meet again!

Our next local, socially prominent, Salem sub- deb, Althea Parker, has been greatly interested in Gilead. fWhat's the story, Al? ls the interest Biblical. or other- wiseilh There's been a rumor that the tall sophisticated senior, Jean Camer- on, has been seen wearing a fraternity pin. Practicing modeling, Jean! Sports Our leader in sports, blame-taking Lucia Packard, prefers being on cam- pus to playing basketball. In tennis, let me warn you, she can swing a racket Qand in the dorm, tool. Our Gould sportswomen have done wonders. If you want an example of a second Ella Gul- 'brandsen on skis, you just have to watch that medal winner from Water- ford, Ruth Bull, and there you have it. Another promising skier is little Bev- erley Bassett of Haverhill, Massachu- setts. Beverley is little and dark-eyed- but not quiet! Our great fresh-air fiend, the heroine on skis, is none other than Gould's own Lively Lady, Peg- gy Procter. She eats during her leisure time. but will give that up at the saying HLet's go out. And in conclusion THE ACADEMY HERALD 31 thereis that little red head from He- bron, Rachel Field. I believe she will be our future Gal of the Outdoorsfi Music Recently there has been an addition to the Choir at the Congregational Church, that iiirtatious little Junior, Suzanne LaZure, who believes that ser- enading is the spice of life. She may be heard any day at 6:30 P. M. over sta- tion NVACKY, singing Show Me the Way to Go Home , or Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Then, there's her room- mate, that lyric soprano, Mary Blythe O'Leary, treally blithe, tooj. She's a great pianist and can play anything from Mary Had a Little Lamb to Romeo, My Romeo. Musically mind- ed Priscilla Abbott CPussy to usj not only sings a la Lily Pons, but may be found diligently practicing on the pi- ano between 3:00 and 5:00. It seems that this concludes our list of music- ians. VVh-oops! Just a miinutel VVe omit- ted our music expert, and it wouldn't be fair. So here she is, folks-Lorraine Gaylord. who prefers i'Swing and Rlhythm. ' ' Medicine It is a pleasure for me to introduce the lady who will cure anything from a fallen arch to a dislocated finger, Miss Staples, our family doctor. You'll find her any day, when there is need, in her abode on the iirst floor. Education It is said that education is the path- way to success. Now let's look at the girls who are traveling on that path: but first, I must tell you about some of our instructors. On the third floor you will find Miss Lucille Simpson. She is often seen read- ing Galileo by candlelight, and then the next morning wondering why she is so sleepy. Coming downstairs, just as we reach the corner, whom should we meet but Miss Burris and Miss Stevens. Esther is the gal who can take it twe mean dictationj. Miss Stevens tells the girls about the latest fashions from Paris. Then we find our speech teacher, Miss Soule. She not only teaches speech, but can give lessons in the art of knitting- mittens especially. At the other end of the corridor who should welcome us but our cute little French teacher, Madame Eugenia Leon- ard. Mrs. Leonard teaches us our Metres and avoirs . Rooming with Mrs. Leonard is Miss Hanscom. She is our expert gym teacher who coached the basketball team in an undefeated season this year. One of our Bostonian girls, Jane Bucknam, enjoys mid-year exams im- mensely. fOr do you, Jane'?j You'll find our little question-asker, Barbara Linnitt, any time the night be- fore a test, inquiring of her next door neighbor, '4You ask me questions you think they'll ask me, huh?', Oh well, Barb , it is 11ice to take such au in- terest in studying. Our next victim, Margaret Red Stevens of Bethel, seems to prefer reading magazines Cwhat kind, Marg?D to studying Algebra Il, but never ob- jects to assistance with the Algebra. Kathleen Ripley of Magalloway may he seen running around the dorm ask- ing if any one has some magazines that she can read during study hours. This concludes the list of studious people. But oh! I have forgotten one more of our students-Nora Chipman. She enjoys potatoes and Sundaes, per- haps that's why she sleeps during study hours. 32 THE ACADEMY HERALD Art NVe have some talented pen sketchers also, and they surely can make a pic- ture Hwhat it ain't. Picture-minded Miss Margaret Lun- dy, one of the faculty members, is easily recognized by the paint brush, camera, and skis which are her almost constant companions. One of our honor students, Mary Buck, can also use a brush. She paints many pictures which are almost as good as those of Raphael. At least we think sol Crinkly-eyed Nancy Arnold seems to be interested in giving Molyneux and Schiaperelli close competition in de- signing fashions. Last but not least, we have our little blonde artist, Violet Kasregis. Vi spends most of her time drawing in Engl ish class. NVhen Mr. Rathbone asks her what 'she is doing she replies, Nothing Religion All go to church on Sunday, but Lei- ta VVest. is benefiting from the experi- ence of her roommate, Beverly Bassett. Leita knows that sleep is O. K., but it is better to go to church. Business and Finance By now you readers must think we have a department for everything, and so we have! Comptroller of the Curren- cy. Miss Margery Bailey, is financial adnninistrator for the dorm girls, es- pecially Lucia Packard and Gladys Neuswanger. Miss Bailey is also inter- ested in collecting antique cups and saucers. Beatrice Canwell is our next nomination for VVho's YVho in Busi- ness. Any teacher will tell you that Bea 's good, every night, for the ques- tion, May I see so and so about my bookkeeping? Muriel James is our typical business gal allfl good in commercial mat- ters. She is frequently seen with depen- dable, sedate Janet Payne, from Ridge- wood,NewJersey. Janet believes in fair play. Her roommate, Betty Runyon, is a promising fashion expert and skilfull in using a needle. People Off again, on again Ruth Areson, from Jackson Heights, is one of the reasons Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondesfi Then there is Elizabeth Smith, whose favorite subject is Speech, or is it? Oh well, Libbie,i' detention isn't so bad! Two girls who believe in having a good time are none other than Esther Pike, who thinks Gould isn't such a bad Alma Mater after all, and Betty McLa- ren, who likes brownies. Betty also likes to plague people, especially a cer- tain boy with whom all waiters and waitresses are well acquainted. 'tTruth is stranger than lictionf' but I'm still amazed at how some people can come back for seconds all the time and yet retain their girlish figure. VVon't you tell ns your secret, Pat Laverty? Cinema Movies? Yes, every Saturday night, some of our popular coeds may be seen at Odeon Hall. VVho will top the list? It's no use keeping it any longer folks, but any time you wish to see Marian Wight, just step into the dorm recep- tion room at 7:55, on a Saturday even- ing, and there she will be with that certain Guy, Gladys Neuswanger and Jane Ches- ley Cvery interested in Frenchj are our next movie fans. They are planning to take a trip to Hollywood! Good luck girls. Joan Tooker, from New York. is at great admirer of Tarzan and goes to THE ACADEMY HERALD 33 movies regularly. Midge, really Mar- jorie Alvord, a regular movie-goer, keeps up with the movies by reading Movie Mirror. Our talkative little brunette of New- ton, Carrol Gay, can be heard typing from 3:30 to 9:30. Here's an intimate secret: she's a movie fan! XVell, girls, let us know when Clark Gable gets his next degree, won 't you? Literature Literature is important. To prove this ask Book Bug, Louisa Bac-on. Louisa reads anything from Peter and Polly to Gone VVith the VVind, and I doubt if we could interest her in any- thing else when she's 'tGone NVith the WVind i11 books. Our greatest fan for writing is our friendly ,little VVinchester senior, Mari- lyn Howe, who may be seen 'writing letters to Bates College, or waiting for returns. Other literarily minded persons are Ann Andrews and Mary Ferren. The former seems to get many special deliv- ery letters from NVesterly, Rhode Isl- and. Ann, how's chances ,of letting us in on the secret? Mary also enjoys writ- ing letters. Our nicely -dressed newcomer, Vir- ginia Lindquist. has just completed Queen Victoria. Good work, '4Gin- ny! At last this brings us to a close and this my dear friends, was what the public didn't know about our young Scarlet O'Hara's. .Tune Uhipman 'l'lME HOLDEN HALL EDITION Foreign Affairs' With spring coming on and every- thing con-sidered, the situation between Holden Hall a11d the Gehring Home seems to be well under control. A fair- ly widespread bachelors' movement has started, some of us can't believe this is as it should be. Some humble devotees are noted but, as a rule, variety seems to be the spice of things. t'Budl' and Charlie seem to be 611- joying themselves. Asbery Emerson, Roger Williams, and 1NVhip Abbe seem to have something in common. Ted Jenks seems invariable, which is all very good. Play-boy Bartholomaei seems to be in kind of a fog. A newcom- er here, Sandy Campbell seems to be staging a sort of Hblitzkriegn on scat- tered fronts. Erik Brown and Herb Bailey are the type who sit around dreamily and write fuzzy poetry by flash light. But after all, let peace reigng and didn 't someone once say that a good quarrel strengthens the bonds of friendship? Crime Many a nice song has died locally this winter. The clock system suffered horribly once, and numerous innocents have dived into bed, to skid wildly on shaving cream or to be brought up short by a nice job of bed making. Clinton murdered the HStar Spangled Banner. XVe have all murdered the English language. and someone should have murdered Herb Bailey. Sports NVe're proud of our activity i11 the world of sport this year. Who 'd ever think that the usually slow and deliber- ate Carl Tucker would zip down the grid-iron, invariably to chalk up a score? He played a snappy season of basketball-one of our outstanding players. Tuck is our house pool champ and also looks good in the base- ball and track lineups. Good going Uarl! 34 THE ACADEMY HERALD Pool is not to be taken as H11 idle sport, it is an art, and some of the boys excel at it. Eddie Miller, CClass B winner in the tournamentj, 'Thili' fCornishj Smith. Pudgy, 4'Ted Jenks, and '4Hank Haley all play a nice game. Clint is certainly destined to be a champ, and the Estabrook po- sition will be celebrated far and wide. Erik Brown, 'fBud Runyon. Mac Brown, and 'fHank'l Haley are doing well on the flashing boards. These fel- lows have done some skiing this winter. Every time it snowed this year. Otto Haines scraped down his skis and tried a new wax. Between waxings he flashed on down the glistening slopes, all of him in perfect form. Jim Shields. James Farley's right hand man, and Dan Mc- Grewn Vlfilliams vie for honors in the stowing away of food. 4'Niick Aniato made a rapid rise to fame in basketball, and if praying and fore-thought are any indication, he will do well in base- ball. Bob Angel is a coming skier and baseball manager. Guy Swan played an excellent frame during basketball season, and is now warming up for baseball. Music HTl12l117, emits some enticing bits of rhythm now'n then. '4Larry Brooks should take drumming seriously. By the way, he doesnit have a bad voice in the showers. Say, have you heard Jenks cut loose on the piano? He can really make the ivories talk. I think there's enough material here for a good swing band. There 's Red Barlow and accordion, Bill Bull and Bucky on the fiute and trumpet, Mac Brown's J ew's harp, and Haines and Bailey in brass, Charlie St. Thomas, Goldie , and Win VVight roll out the canned jive for hours on end to the delight of Dick McFee and Bob Bushong. Literature My! Shin! My Shin! , by '4Bob Golderman has just appeared, inspired by Herb Bailey of romantic ballad fame. Edgar Allen Payeur, from some place down New York way, has written an enlightening novel, The Flatbush Murder , also The Face on the VVash Room Floor, and others. From the Klondike region, dangerous Dan McGrewi' walks again in Roger VVilliams. Hobbies In any odd moment '4Bill Clapp may be found in his shop, making a. commotion, and turning' out something 11ew. The amplifier, which he made for Bob Golderman, has drowned out Mr. Bowhay's radio and caused much lament. Earl Barlow has finished a fine ship model and done some nice draw- mg.

It will be a let down to some of us in this res- pect to go to college. House meetings have been few and not unpleasant. Our genial housemaster, Mr. Loomis, has been more than fair with us. Needless to say. the pool table has been worked overtime. The quickest way I know of to Nunmake friends and infuriate people is to walk into the recreation room and demand the next game. We've had much fun this year and wherever we may go or whatever We may do, it will never be forgotten. With malice toward none, charity for all. and the best ot' intentions, I submit notes on the year 1939-40 at Holden Hall.

Stev- ens Sponsors-Mrs. Marie Davis, Chairman: Mrs. Elsie Davis, Mrs. Barbara Lyon On May 22, 1939, the Girl Reserves met at the William Bingham Gymna- sium for the installation of next year 's officers. Afterwards pins and rings were awarded by Miss Margaret Stev- ensg pins were given to members of three years' standing, and rings to four year members. This year, the picnic was held in the Home Economics cottage because of rain. Everyone had a good time, even though outside it was gray and dreary. Several ideas for raising money were discussed at the first cabinet meeting of the yearg the most promising were a dance and selling school stickers and seals. Plans were made for the XVel- coming' picnic. The Girl Reserves went to Paradise Hill. on September 28, for a Wiener roast. lt was a hilarious crowd of girls that hiked to the picnic spot. Everyone had a good time, and before they went home, Betty McLaren led them in sing- ing songs. 011 October -L we had the pleasure of having Mrs. George Thompson tell us about the trailer trip she had taken throughout the United States. She al- lowed everyone to examine several col- ored books that she bought while trav- eling. These books showed us what Mrs. Thompson could not describe in words. After hearing her talk every girl real- ized that she would like to take a trail- er trip. Mrs. Thompson invited all the girls to come to see her trailer. At the November first meeting, the table decoratons for the conference to be held in Augusta the week end of No- vember 3. were made by the girls. The decorations were tiny individual can- dles and candleholdersg the holder was 36 THE ACADEMY HERALD was a white gum drop with a white Life for a miniature handle. A Saver mint blue candle was put into the top of the gum drop and another 'mint dropped around the candle. lnformal reports were given on Nov- ember 15 by those girls who attended the conference in Augusta. It proved to be an interesting meeting. The delegates were June Chipman, Kathryn Davis, Rachel Field, Marilyn Howe, Patricia Laverty,, Betty McLaren, Lucia Pack- ard, and Betty Runyon. On December 13 we initiated new members. Those initiated were Pearl Barnett, Vtlilma Bean, Alice Bennett. Violet Brooks, Marion Chapman, Nora Chipman, Ida Clough, Barbara Cool- idge, Arlene Donahue, Dora Gallant, Rachel Gordon, Pauline Hinkley, Bev- erly Kneeland, Vera Leighton, Barbara Poole, Carolyn YVight. alld Marian Xvight. Each girl was given a blue and white ribbon tie as a symbol of initi- ation. After completing the ceremony, 2 short Christmas program was given. An especially interesting meeting was held i11 the' form of a fashion show on February 8, 1940. The girls modeled their own clothes, which they had made in Home Economics. Miss Stevens ex- plained the making and styling of each garment. l A barn dance was held in the Gymna- sium on Friday, March 1. The gym was dressed for the occasion, in hay. old saddles, bridles, lanterns, a very fright- -ening scarecrow, a cat, a dog, and some grain sacks. Everyone came dressed for anything that might come along. The slogan for this one night was the older the bet- ter -so anything was expected and accepted. The most popular attire for boys was mismated shoes. trousers with rips and tears, rope rather than belts or suspenders, and faded shirts. The girls were slightly more conservative. They wore slacks and shirts, or checked or print dresses. Of course, there were exceptions, such as year-before-last's torn slacks and rowdyish plaid shirts. Cowbells rang, haystacks beckoned, and square dances completed the night's fun. Between dances a specialty was giv- en-it was called For Your Enjoy- ment -and it certainly was! It was a Hill-Billy dance that produced howls of laughter. The dance program brought fourth such dances as Lady of the Lake, Hay Maker's Jig, Hay Chaif Stum- blef' Milk Maid's Hop, and Boston Fancy. You see, a real old-fashioned square dance! Everyone had. as would be expected, a hip-haying good time, and called for more. On March 13 we tried a new and no- vel plan for money raising. A sandwich sale was held in the main room at recess. The sandwiches were made in the Home Economics Cottage by volun- teers. They sold fast, were very good, and a good profit was made. On April 10 we had another interest- ing discussion on the following topics: etiquette. Hattering hair-do's, suitable choice of clothes, and harmonizing and non-harmonizing colors. Questions were asked, and Marilyn Howe and June Chipman acted as models displaying both suitable and unsuitable styles and colors. Lillian Leighton Y. M. C. A. NOTES Our Y. M. C.

The officers, who were elected at our first meeting, are: Donald Holt, president, Romeo Baker,, vice-president, Irving Brown, secretary, Nathaniel Bartholo- maei, treasurer. One of the highlights looked forward to by the members of the NYM is the annual Y. M. C. A. Older Boys' Confer- ence. Those to attend this conference in Portland, as delegates from our school, were: Herbert Bailey, Romeo Baker, Nathaniel Bartholomaei, Bernard Bart- lett, Wiiifield Benner, Parker Brown, Herbert Foote, Donald Holt, Norman Kilby, David Kirk, Edward Miller, George Stearns, Rodney Wentzell, and Sherman Williamson. They were ac- companied by Mr. Loomis and Mr. Rathbone. The program provided by the committee was one of inspiration. from which every delegate carried away new thoughts and renewed ambi- tion for better living. The hospitality of our hosts and hostesses could not have been surpassed. This year's Wiiiter Carnival, which was held February 16 and 17, was one of the most successful ever put on by the Y. M. C. A. Due to the perfect weather, a great number of spectators was able to attend the field events a11d so a good time was enjoyed by all. The carnival got off to a good start Friday afternoon with the Gould Varsity bas- ketball team defeating the Hebron Re- serves by a score of 40-29. Directly af- ter the basketball game the cross-coun- try race was held with the start and finish behind the girls' dormitory. In the evening the groups divided, part going out to the Paradise Rink for a skating party and the other group at- tending movies at Odeon Hall. On Saturday morning the spectators gathered at Anderson's to watch the jumping, slalom, and downhill races. After dinner, the ski and snowshoe dashes and the obstacle races were held on the new athletic field. After the co11- tests were over, everyone was nvited into the Gehring Home for hot cocoa and crackers. The Juniors were the high point win- ners in the Carnival, a11d will have their numerals inscribed on the VVinter Sports Trophy. The Seniors 'came in for a close second, followed by the Sopho- mores third, and the Freshmen fourth.

Music was furnished by Dick Poulin's orchestra from Lewiston, and the gym was orig- inally and artistically decorated in the school colors. blue and gold. Refresh- ments were served at cabaret tables at intermission. All the members of the committees are to be congratulated on their fine cooperation to make this year's carnival the huge success which it was. Herbert Bailey CAMERA CLUB 1940 marks the second year of the Camera Club's existence. That it has been both successful and useful can be judged by the extensive use of its equipment by the members. The club was formed in order that students interested in photography and its branches might have a chance to further their hobby a11d possibly later vocation. Available to those belonging is a well-equipped dark room. This room is provided with an enlarger, a contact printer, developing facilities, both tank and tray, and chemicals. The dues are twenty-five cents annually and a small fee is charged for the use of the dark room. The officers are: Mr. Carroll Bailey, faculty adviser, Romeo Baker, presi- dent, Winfield Benner, Secretary, Nor- man Kilby, treasurer.

This year not only the football boys got exercise, but also the members of the Speech class, who were put through a vigorous routine by Coach,' Soule. Several individual speeches were given in class. Recently the classes have been giving panel discussions on various subjects. The Chapel service on Wednesday morning, November 29, was presented under the direction of Miss Soule, and consisted of the following program: Song: Praise to God, Immortal Praise The Lord's Prayer Scripture Reading: Psalm 107, by Irving Brown Song: Come Ye Thankful People Come, by the Choir The Origin of Thanksgiving, by Winfield Benner The First American Thanksgiving, by Betty McLaren Song: Thanksgiving Hymn, by the Choir George Washington's Thanksgiving Procla- mation of 1789, by Erik Brown Song: America The Senior play, Big Hearted Herbertn by Sophie Kerr and Anna Steese Richardson, was a big hit. It was presented, on March 20th, with the following cast of characters: THE ACADEMY HERALD 41 l .. .ld f SENIOR PLAY, BIG HEARTED HERBERT Herbert Kalness Sherman Williamson Elizabeth Kalness Anne Ring Herbert Kalness, Jr. Nathaniel Bartholomaei Alice Kalness Mary Buck Robert Kalness Edward Wheeler Martha Esther Pike Amy Lawrence Elizabeth McLaren Jim Lawrence Minot Clapp Mr. Goodrich' Bernard Bartlett Mrs. Goodrich Jean Cameron Andrew Goodrich Irving Brown Mr. Havens Henry Haley Mrs. Havens Kathryn Davis This is the story of Herbert Kalness, a self-made man, who likes a simple old-fashioned life, and doesn't in the least understand why his children -should want anything else. After rant- ing through two acts of the play, he is conquered and made to consent to the terms laid before him by his patient and long-suffering wife. The play was en- joyable and provided a good many laughs for the audience during the evening. It was produced under the skillful direction of Miss Mary Soule. All members of the cast acted well and showed evidence of much rehearsing and hard work. VVe feel that this play will long be remenrbered as one of the most successful of Gould plays. The Gould Debating Club held three debates this year. The first debate was held on the question: Resolved that the city is preferable to the country. The affirmative speakers were Muriel Bean and Herbertina Norton. and the nega- tive was upheld by Helen Vililliamson and Elizabeth Gorman. Sherman Wil- liamson acted .as chairman, and the jinlgres were the members of the club. The decsision was in favor of the aiir- mlative arguments. The question for the second debate was: Resolved that the world has more to fear Iiliill to hope for from the future development of machines. The affirma- tive speakers were Kathryn Davis and Sherman Williamson, and the negative speakers were Romeo I-Baker and David Holden. The club members agzfain acted as judges, and the chairman was How- ard Grover. This debate was WVOII by the negrative team. The final debate was held on the question: Resolved that President Roosevelt should be re-elected for a third term. The adirmative was upheld by Nathaniel Bartholomaei and Anne Ring. and the negative by Lucia Pack- ard and Howard Grover. Romeo Baker acted as chairman. and the club voted in favor of the negative debaters. 42 THE ACADEMY HERALD Members of this years' club were: Priscilla Abbott, Romeo Baker, Nathan- iel Bartholomaei, Beverly Bassett, Mur- iel Bean, Amy Bennett, Mary Buck, Kathryn Davis, Rachel Gordon, Eliza- beth Gorman, Robert Greenleaf, How- ard Grover, David Holden, Fern Lane, 'Richard McFee, Herbertina Norton, Lucia Packard, Althea Parker, Warren Payeur.

Helen Vililliamson MUSIC NOTES The Gouldonians, our school dance UI'til16Sl'I'il had another successful year under the direction of Mr. Combs. The following students were members of the orchestra this year. Romeo Baker, gui- tar, Herbert Bailey, saxophone, Nath- aniel Bartholomaei, drums, lda Clough, violin, Muriel Hall, violin, Althea Parker, piano: Richard Peabody, clari- net. The Gouldonians provided the mus- ic for the Homecoming Tea Dance. The Chapel Choir has been under the direction of Mr. Philip S. Sayles, this year. The following members were se- lected at the beginning of the year by Miss Soule: Girls-Ruth Areson, Nan- cy Arnold, Mary Buck, Virginia Davis, Muriel James, Ruby Jewell, Althea Parker, Anne Ring, Betty Runyon. and Marian VVight, Boys-Nicholas Amato, Romeo Baker. Nathaniel Bartholomaei. Bernard Bartlett, Wlinfield Benner, Erik Brown, Jack Haines, and Edwin Jenks. Kathryn Davis was the accom- panist. The Choir has led the student body in the singing in the chapel exer- cises each morning. They also took part in the Thanksgiving Program, the Christmas Vesper service, and have sung at both the Congregational and the Methodist Church. The Girls' Glee Club, which has an e11rollme11t of seventy members, is un- der the direction of Miss Mary Soule. The Glee Club provided music for the Christmas Vesper service, the first ser- vice of its kind to be held at Gould. Twenty students are making great progress in the band under the direc- tion of Mr. Anton Mainente. Practices are held each Friday morning. The school has purchased seven instruments this year for the use of Gould students. Work has already been started on the music for Commencement. Gould Academy has been fortunate in being the first and only secondary school in Maine to receive a music set from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. This set includes a Capehart re- producer and turntable, over six hund- red records representing all types of music from the most eminent compos- ers, albums. cabinets, and a small li- brary of pertinent musical literature. Mr. Maiueute has given six talks on music appreciation. Two of the talks were on general music appreciation. two were on the development of music and were illustrated by records repre- senting the different musical eras, the remaining four talks were on the opera Aida He explained the story of each act and then played the recordings of the opera. These talks were education- al and interesting to all. The music set is also frequently used after school bv various small groups interested in mu- sic appreciation. Barbara Cummings HOME ECONOMICS The basic schedule for all four Home Economics classes has been the same: each class having studied clothes for THE ACADEMY HER.-XLD 43 the first semester and foods for the second. The twenty-seven girls in Home Eco- nomics I, the largest class, met 011 the second floor of the main building and held laboratory periods at the cottage. During the fall term the class sewed and studied color schemes, patterns, the selection a11d buying of clothes. The second semester schedule consisted of the study of breakfast dishes, and plan- ning as well as caring for kitchens and dining rooms. Girls taking Home Economics II not only stitched and sewed, but learned about clothing and design as well. The foods course has been a study of lun- cheon dishes. In preparation for giv- ing their luncheons next year, a short unit on grooming and consumer econo- mics was also included. Home Economics Ill, a class of only nine, studied sewing, clothes, budgets, and grooming, until Christmas vaca- tio11. Then they took up cooking, lun- cheons, and breadmaking. Each girl planned and managed a luncheon. Her helpers were a cook, an assistant hos- tess, and two waitresses. Members of the faculty were invited. Many of the luncheons were given to honor a holi- day such as Valentne's Day, St. Pat- rick's Day, etc. In making a study of clothing, the Home Economics IV class spent the first semester in learning about sewing, machine attachnrents, etc. Their second semester course in foods was a study of dietetics, special diets, and cooking hobbies. Many of the Home Economics girls were rewarded for doing their best in sewing by being allowed to take part in a Girl Reserve Fashion Show. Amy Bennett MANUAL TRAINING Let us make a visit to the Manual Training Department where Mr. Ander- son teaches the boys what to do and what not to do in the art of woodwork- ing. The first period of the day you will find the Sophomore class in the shop. The boys work on the lathes and other machines, cutting and finishing their projects. This year a new project be- came very popular with the boys. This was a gun rack. Racks were made by Rodney Chase, Asbery Emerson, Don- ald Kimball, Earl Littlefield, and Lewis Littlehale. Some of the other things made were: nut bowl sets by Whipple Abbe and Virgil Adams, a book and magazine stand by Levi Baker, foot- stools by Carlton Barker, Bradley Hall, Floyd NVest and Raymond Holt, a book case by Edward Bean, a bookcase and drawers by Milton Cameron, a secre- tary and bookshelf by Delwyn Long, a wall shelf by VVilliam Robertson, and a bridge lamp by Elmer Runyon. The second period finds the Senior class at work on their varied and more difficult projects. Here we find a fine wheelbarrow made by Robert Billings, a two-tier table by Irving Brown, a nut bowl by Lee Hutchins, and a writ- ing desk by Edward Miller, an ash tray stand by David Roberts, end tables by Bruce Scarborough and Edward Vtiheel- er, a stand by Harold Young, a smok- ing stand by Lee West, and a cobbler'-s bench tea table by Rupert. Grover. The Junior class 'meets the first peri- od in the afternoon. In this class the most popular articles were fruit bowls and writing desks. Philip Cummings and Robert Morrill made the bowls, while the desks were mxade by Lee 44 THE ACADEMY HERALD Swan, Charles Knight, and Howard Grover. Clinton Estabrook made a smoking stand, a hall tree was made by James Shields, console tables by Gary York and Clayton Crockett, a nut bowl by Robert Lowe, and an end table by George Stearns. A twenty-room birdhouse was made by Earl Barlow, and a set of chessmen and board by Hartwell Blanchard. The Freshmen class meets the last period of the day under the directon of Mr. Fossett. They made knife and fork boxes as a required project. After these were completed, small lamps and foot stools were made. Although no mach- ines are used by this class the work done was of good quality. Outside work was done by the b0yS in their spare time. Benches were made for the football field, and work was done for the senior play. At the end of the year, the annual exhibit was held, where the entire col- lection of the year's work was put on display for the benefit of parents, pu- pils, and friends. This time unfinished work as well as the finished was dis- played to show the project in different stages. After the Easter vacation. all classes take up Mechanical Drawing, where they learn to draw sinrple plans in orthographic and isometric views. This also helps in reading the plans when making the objects in wood. Hartwell Blanchard COMMERCIAL NOTES The Office Practice group, which consists of five senior girls, has been very busy this year printing programs for various organizations and dances. This work provides the group with much practical experience in cutting stencils, designing covers on the mi- meoscope, and using the mimeograph machine. Some of the programs printed were for the Ladies Club, Ladies Aid, Junior Guild, NVinter Carnival, Carni- val Ball, Freshman Reception, and Se- nior Play. A15 0118 time, a representa- tive from the A. B. Dick Company showed this group interesting facts about designing covers on the mimeo- scope, and demonstrated the use of the latest implements and guides used in this sort of work. This group has also been working extensively on the full bank adding machine and the ten-key machine. A miniature Monroe calculator was se11t by the Monroe Company for a few days trial and is an exact copy of the real Calculator. This machine, which is de- diierent schools, is becoming very pop- signed in miniature form for trial by ular ill modern business concerns today. The classes of Typing I and Typing II were very fortunate i11 having new books this year. The purchase of nine new typewriters. including four Smiths three Royals. and two Remingtons, greatly facilitated the student's work. The second year class helped with the programs in various ways by typing, folding, and stapling. They also typed all the identiiicaton cards which were placed on the Various pieces of carpen- try i11 'the Manual Training Exhibit. The pupils of these two classes have de- signed projects on the typewriter, many of which were well done, and will be a welcome addition to the dislays on the bulletin board in bookkeeping room. The Bookkeeping II class also was pleased in having the new books of the advanced course this year. This course offers seven different sets, all of differ- THE ACADEMY HERALD 45 ent lengths. The largest was the Table- Manufacturing Set, involving corpora- tion accounts, voucher register, check register, imprest system for petty cash, and the perpetual inventory system. Madelyn Bird ATHLETICS FOOTBALL The football season of 1939, although not productive of as many victories as the past few years, was very successful in that student participation reached a. new peak. Forty-nine men enrolled for the sport. a11d those students 11ot actu- ally playing formed one of the best cheering sections Gould has ever had on the gridiron. Although forty-nine 111911 reported for football, Gould could only produce two wins .and a tie out of six games played. However, this was no disap- pointment as the squad was composed of only a few veteran men and many inexperienced players. Vllith only two weeks practice, Gould opened with Fryeburg Academy, an-,l in a game filled with excitement and thrills, the team displayed strong offen- sive power-but could not stop Frye- burg's, passing. The game ended in a 14-14 tie. After losing to a strong Bridgton J. V. team, Gould met their big rival, Norway, Hlld brought home a victory, 6-0, in a bitterly fought game at Nor- wav. On October 31, Gould and South Pa- ris staged a great football game that kept spectators on their toes most of the time. It was a well-played gameg and although the Blue alld Gold lost, the Paris eleven realized they were pressed to the limit. The bright spot of the year was a smashing victory over a highly-tout- ed Wilton Academy aggregation. With the odds against them on paper, the team went to work in their best form and convincingly demonstrated that in football Uodds on paper mean nothing, as the team scored an 18-0 victory. ln the final game of the season a vic- tory-starved Berlin High team invad- ed Bethel and played a brand of ball that they hadn't played all year. The Gould boys went into the game over- coniident and, playing their poorest ball of the season, went down to a 21-0 defeat. Throughout the year the work of Captain Buddy Clough was outstand- ing as he led his fellow team mates into battle each week. His work in carrying and blocking was topped only by him- self as a defensive player backing up the line. Another outstanding perform- ance was the excellent defensive work of Earle Palmer at end. His peak per- formance in defensive play was dis- played in the Gould-South Paris game. Carl Tucker was a bright spot on the offensive play, his speedy end runs bringing many a substantial gain for his team. These were not the only good jobs done by any means, but they were consistent throughout the year. Those who have won the GT are: Ends--Irving Cummings, Edward Mil- ler.

Of the four games lost, three were lost by the slim margin of one point. Wentzell proved to be the back- bone of the team and a real money player in that his high scoring was al- ways maintained even in the toughest games. He ran up a total of 209 points for the season, averaging 14 points per game. Earle Palmer was a good cien- sive player, coming next to Wentzell with 184 points. Tucker proved himself to be one of the greatest defensive play- ers in the league and was often sent to guard the opponents' star player. Swan and Hutchins played good steady ball throughout the year, and Clough showed himlself' to be a real fighter. Gould started oi wth a bang, wal- loping Oxford 67-19 in the first game. The game started rather slowly, but after the first few minutes Oxford did- n't have a chance. Palmer and Went- zell were high scorers. The second proved to be a real thril- ler, Gould taking Gorham, N. H., 38-35. The loss of Palmer in the third period made the Gould cause look almost hope- less, but the Blue and Gold fought a brilliant battle and finally came out on top. Both Wentzell and Swan were stars in this game. Following this Gould came thru with a 53-31 win over Norway. During the first period it looked like a defen- sive game, but during the second quar- ter Gould passing attack got under way and turned the game into a walk-away for Gould. In the next game Gould grabbed an early lead to beat Fryeburg, 53-31. Gould got the jump on Fryeburg, 13-2, in the first period, and slowly increased this lead during the rest of the game. The Blue and Gold continued their winning ways by defeating Oxford a- gain in the following game. Always be- fore, Gould had had difficulty beating Oxford on their own floor, but this time she won easily, 53-24. Palmer and Wentzell were high scorers. In the next encounter Gould lost a sensational game to South Paris, 31-30, the first defeat of the season. South Paris jumped to an early lead and man- aged to keep it during the first half. In the third quarter Gould finally got go- 48 THE ACADEMY HERALD ing and brought the score up about even. During the last period the battle raged fast and furiously, first one team was ahead and then the other. With Gould leading, 30-29, filltl a minute to go, Daniels of South Paris picked up a looose ball and tossed the basket that twon the game, 31-30. VVentzell and Palmer led the scoring, but both Tuck- er and Hutchins played fine defensive games. Gould Academy dropped its second game in less than a Week when the Gorham, N. H. team gained revenge by svvamping the local quintet, 47-27. It was clearly a night when the opponents were hot and the Gould quintet was exceptionally cold. In a well played and keenly fought game, Gould restored its luck by de- feating the Alumni, 48-36. The first period ended 14 to 8, and outscoring the old timers 12 to 8 in the Second quarter left the winners with a 26-15 lead at the half. The last half was bit- terly contested, but the game proved on ice as the Alumni could do no better than match the Gould points. In a smartly played basketball game Gould Walked off with a 29-19 victory over Fryeburg. The local team was really a quintet this time, as the five starting players played the whole game without relief. They played Well as a team and everyman contributed to the scoring. ' In a game packed with thrills from beginning to end, Gould gained sweet revenge for its 30-31 defeat at South Paris by gaining a 41-37 victory at the William Bingham Gymnasium. The game started fast and furiously, with the defense of each team showing up Well. In the second period the scoring started with Gould gaining leads only to be overhauled, and in the last few minutes the visitors stole the show by going into the lead, 22-18, at the half. Shortly after the start of the third per- iod Gould again took the lead and was never headed. The biggest crowd in years packed the Gymnasium to the very doors. In the next game an elated Gould team had no trouble sinking Old Orch- ard to the tune of 56-20. The winners jumped into an early 10-0 lead and coasted along to an easy victory. With the Hebron gymnasium packed with frenzied fans, Gould staged an up-hill battle to finally lose the tourna- ment play-off game with South Paris by the slim margin of one point. It was the old story of nervousness and ex- :itement playing havoc with the team i11 the early stages of the game, allow- ing South Paris to gain a 13-5 advan- tage i11 the first period. Going into the final period still eight points behind. the f'Blne and Gold staged another of :hose last minute rallies, a11d only the firing of the gun to end the game saved South Paris and delivered them their second one-point victory over Gould, 34-33. VVentzell was the oustanding player on the floor, and he and Swan lead the scoring for Gould. Hutchins and Tucker also played exceptionally good ball, especially in the last half. f'Buddy 0lough's work in replacing Palmer also deserves special mention. Gould-quickly recovered by trounc- ing the Hebron Reserves, 40-29. The Gould seconds started off the game, but the Hebron team proved too strong, as they grabbed an early 8-2 lead. Vtlhen the regulars went in things immediately began to pick' up, and during the last half Gould ran away to win, 40-29.

The Gould Academy second team also had a very successful season this year. winning six out of seven games they played. The games were all close, hard- fought encounters, and one of them was an over-time duel, when Gorham was defeated 27-25. Bull and Blanchard were the outstanding scorers, with Amato, Wheeler, Brown and Lowe playing good ball throughout the sea- son. The following is a summary of the seven games played: Gould Seconds Gorham Gould Seconds Norway Gould Seconds Fryeburg Gould Seconds Alumni Gould Seconds Gorham Gould Seconds Fryeburg Gould Seconds Norway The games, very popular with the stu- dents, were well played and the major- ity were close, hard-fought games filled with excitement. A number of them were not decided until the final minutes of play. The Sophomores, leading throughout the first of the tourney, finally ended in second place. The team consisted of Captain Billy Robertson, Whipple Ab- be, Nick Amato, Levi Baker, Carlton Barker, Edward Bean, Lewis Little- hale, and Charles St. Thomas. The Sen- ior squad, placing third, included Cap- tain Rupert Grover, Robert Angel, Nathaniel Bartholomaei, Robert Bill- ings, Gurdon Buck, Herbert Foote, Ev- erett Gavel, and Bruce Scarborough.

BASEBALL, 1939 The baseball of this season proved rather disappointing from the very be- ginning. The late spring made it im- possible to get outdoors until the first TIIE ACADEMY HERALD 53 of Mayg and then ten games confronted the squad in twenty-seven days, with- out a single veteran in the battery de- partment. However, the boys Showed the results of their indoor training and surprised everyone by winning the first four starts. The first game, particular- ly, wasanip and tuck affair at Nor- way: which went ten innings before Norway blew up, allowing Wentzell and Crockett to reach on errors, and Tucker come through with one of his patented hits to bring in one run. Norway's first man up in the tenth hit a single. but stayed on first as the next three men were retired in order. Gould traveled to Fryeburg with high hopes of annexing them as their fifth victimg but Crockett faltered in the fifth inning, allowing Fryeburg to score seven runs and salt the game away. 8-3. Gorham had one of their strongest -t-eams in years and had no difficulty in winning the two games. Then came 'the return engagement with Fryeburg here. and what a game! Brooks pitched his best game of the en- tire year, allowing but one run in the first inning: but this proved sufficient as Howard all but reached the hall of fame as the only hit registered off his delivery was a hunt engineered by Parker Brown in the fourth inning. This cinched the Westerii Maine Con- ference for Fryeburg for the second successive year. The infield showed to a good advan- tage on the whole, although every once in a. while did suier a ease of the jit- ters and fail to support their pitcher in the pinch.

TENNIS In spite of the many rainy and cold days last fall, thirteen girls finished the required hours of tennis practice. Ruth Bull and Lucia Packard were the high scorers, with Lucia Winning the final game of the tournament. CLASS BASKETBALL The same rules were applied to class teams this year. Except in the Junior- Senior games, no varsity player could be put in the game unless absolutely necessary, and then they had to play out of position.

WINTER SPORTS There was an unusual amount of en- thusiasm toward winter sports this year. Many of the girls who signed up took skiing lessons from Mr. Myers, and counted those as supervised re- quirements. But in addition to skiing. girls could get their hours in by hiking. Snowshoeing, skating, or sliding. Two hours a week of some outdoor sport and three supervised hours during the sea- son were required. Twenty-seven girls completed these requirements. VOLLEYBALL AND BASEBALL Because of the large number of girls ,out for volleyball, it was necessary to pick a first and second team for each class. The first teams will play each other in two fifteen-minute periods, and the second teams will play each other in two ten minute periods. The games will start soon and the tournament will be played oi. The following are captains of the class teams: Seniors, Marilyn Howe, Juniors, Mary Jodreyg Sopho- mores.
