NANCY BALES FRED FEITLER '55 48 THE ACADEMY HERALD Gehrin Dinnngggggggg — “Oh, no, not the rising bell! Roomie, tell the nurse I’m sick, dead, anything. I can not move from this heavenly bed. Oooooh! Why, oh, why did I read that True Confessions with a flashlight all night?” Thus begins the day of a typical Geh- ring Hallite, the gal with pierced ears, short, towsled hair and a forever-wagging tongue. You’ll find her quite friendly, sometimes sophisticated, careless and care- free, and bubbling over with pet jokes and loud laughter. And she always finds an excuse to startle the dining room with a blood-curdling scream as she tears up the stairs after dinner. Classes are very vague to her as she listens to her teacher with one ear and snoozes on the other, dreaming about those many wonderful things that are in store for her in the future. She is an average student scholastically, but often surprises her classmates with brilliant but com- pletely impractical ideas. I Hall This young lady, being very emotional, is easily depressed. If you’ve wondered why her faculty adviser has an harassed, dragged out look, it’s probably because she has been trying to give good advice to a desperately sad cherub. Fortunately, this “mood indigo” does not last long, and with the dawn of a bright, new day, she is passing out free smiles and offering con- solation to upset friends. Her interests run the gamut of teenage pastimes. Being athletic, she plays tennis, skiis, and does nearly all class sports. Sen- timental novels fascinate and stimulate her being. Music of any type is no less than fabulous”, but current hit tunes are “ut- terly irresistible.” Her great love is the general get-to- gethers when she sits Indian-style on a bed and expounds with friends ever her pet peeve or relates some of her shocking ex- periences in the big, cruel world. Oooh, I almost forgot to tell you her THE ACADEMY HERALD 49 full-time occupation—the men in her life! If she’s not up-town with Mike, her latest catch, you’ll find her at her desk, compos- ing lengthy epistles to the man who has her heart while gazing starry-eyed at the mutilated photo of a brawny hulk in swimming trunks. Yes, this is the young lady who is re- sponsible for the success of the Christmas tea, the dorm party, and various school projects. I think, if you know her, that you’ll agree that she’s not a bad sort.

THE ACADEMY HERALD 51 Holden hall As in former years, September brought to the Gould campus and Holden Hall some new students; most of them being timid, unsuspecting freshmen, and, as us- ual, they were soon told about all the showers they would be thrown into and, during the winter, all the windows they would be thrown out of. But most of them ignored this and dashed towards the game room to take up that fascinating pas- time called pool. The annual Boys’ Dorm Party, which was held December 5, marked the premiere performance of the Holden Hall Players. This bunch of hams, aided by Mr. Emery, presented two plays, Operation X and High Moon. Also included in the dorm party was the regular inspection of rooms and the playing of different games, which included beano. Not long after this, the dorm Christmas Party was held with D.D.T. (Mr. Thompson) acting as Santa Claus. This winter all the students’ rooms had a face-lifting. All the rooms on the “out- side” were painted blue, and the ones on the “inside” were painted green. This certainly made added color. Now let’s take a look at everybody. First room we see is Sam Adriance’s. We see him sitting at his desk with a fun- ny-book in one hand, a candy bar in the other, and a bottle of soda in another! Whoops!! How did that other hand get in there, Sam? In the next room down the hall is the ever-popular pool room. There is hardly a minute when the pool room is open that there isn’t someone in there playing pool. In here today we see Harry Reid and his brother Jack trying to win a game of 52 THE ACADEMY HERALD eight-ball from Russ Patterson and Terry Russell, while Dave Fox has “winners”. While we’re here we see Billy Anderson walking down the hall taking his usual three yard step and saying. “Maybe I’ll smooch again, and maybe I won’t!” What in heaven’s name do you mean by that, Billy? As we leave the game room we meet Stanley Cornwall going down the hall on crutches. When asked what happened, he replies, “Well, you can’t stand up on skis all the time. You have to fall down sometime!” Down at the end of the hall is Mr. Scott’s room. He’s probably correcting some history quizzes. Don’t be too hard on ’em Mr. Scott! As we walk into Harry Reid and Roddy Barlow’s room, we see Roddy getting ready to go over and wait on. I’ll bet you wish you could be in there playing pool with your roommate, Roddy. By the way, you’ve got enough pictures of baseball players on your wall! Walking back down the hall, we see Rollie Blood and Danny Lane coming in from skiing. A bad knee doesn’t keep you from skiing does it, Rollie? Just don’t let Mrs. Waterhouse catch you! As we go down the other hall and into Dave Leiberman's room, we see him writ- ing a letter to someone in Bangor. Who do you know in Bangor, Dave? Next down the hall is Painter Howe’s room. Well, let’s see what Painter is do- ing. Oh, no! He’s eating again, as usual. Painter, don’t you know that if you eat much more you’re liable to get fat? Right next to Painter is Dave Edge- comb. As we walk into Dave’s room, which happens to be the infirmary, we see him moving back in after rooming in the basement while someone was sick. How do you like moving all the time, Dave? Now, let’s go to the second floor. It’s the custom in the boys’ dorm that fresh- men remain on the first floor. If one is ever found on second, he usually finds himself in the shower. As we look into Jimmy York’s room, we see in the far corner a card table with an unfinished automobile on it. Between skiing and Sandra, I’ll bet you don’t get much time to work on that, Jimmy! Next down the line is Dave Vincent. With Camera Club and replacing radio tubes, Dave, you ought to be pretty busy. Next to Dave lives Huge, I mean Hugh, Await. All we can see in his room are gun magazines. Someday that muzzle- loader is going to backfire, Hughie. Walking into Skip Pettapiece and Bob Lingham’s room, we see one big mess. Skip don’t you ever clean your room? You always make Bob do the dirty work. Across the way, we see Phil Rowe writ- ing a letter to someone in Westbrook. Phil, I thought your interests were in Gehring Hall. Going around the corner into Clunie’s. Alley, we see Joel Stevens getting ready to go wait on and harass Mrs. Scott, while his roommate, Joe Watson, is saying that he hopes next year they make legs with- out knee joints. ’Smatter, Joe? Don’t you like crutches? In the next room lives Gould’s faithful dishwasher, Wesley Young. His room- mate is all-round (?) athlete, Norm “Goose” Hill. Around the corner past Mr. Clunie’s room lives that famous Maine guide from Coburn Gore, Van Gale. Alan, how can you live with such a famous personality? On the other side of Mr. Clunie’s apart- ment lives the Magalloway Plantation Kid, Wendell Bragg. Going by Wendell’s room, we see his roommate Bob Edney and Bart Larrow coming back from ski practice. Heard you’ve got a habit of breaking skis, Bob. Well, there’s Carter Taylor busily typ- ing letters to various camps in Maine. THE ACADEMY HERALD 53 Hope you find a job, Carter! Man, dig that crazy apple odor coming from Dave Lord’s room. I’m afraid that you won’t have those apples long, Dave! Tommy Prescott, if you keep at it long enough, you'll become a second Tom Ed- ison. As we move by Phil Corey’s room all we can hear is an imitation of a whistle cn the Grand Trunk Railroad. (It’s sup- posed to be a trumpet!) Hey, Brush, too bad. Oh, well, there’re other fish in the sea. Next door lives Howard West. Someday he might become manager of the U.S. Olympic Ski Team: that is, if he can learn to keep his feet warm. Gove, too bad you had to sleep through all the fun down at Old Orchard. Next time you’ll know better. Goodrich, I wish you’d pick some other time rather than 6:15 in the morning to find someone to wait on for you. Pete, you’re chicken. Next time hit the T-Bar back. Bill Hoag, you’ve been a good boy lately. You haven’t been on restrictions. Next to Bill lives that dashing Arab, Dave Biggins. Better get your harem col- lected, Dave, before the camels run over them. Larry, I wish you’d let Nancy wait on and not hold hands. It can become dis- astrous. Curtney, do you still have as much food on hand this year as you did last? If you do, your roommate, Larry, sure is lucky. Right next to Curt and Larry are Fred Fanning and Bart Larrow. Bart’s a skier, but I don’t know what Fred is. He’s got a bad habit of stealing Wendell Bragg’s girl friends. Leaving Fred and Bart, we go into room 29, the office of those two world-famous private eyes, Dick Budge and A1 Barth. Broken up any “goodies” rings lately, youse guys? Tune in next year, folks.

Student Entering its ninth year as an organiza- tion, the Student Council of Gould Acad- emy is striving to keep up its outstanding record of accomplishment under the lead- ership of representatives chosen from the student body and with the assistance of faculty advisors. Its officers are as follows: President, Lionel Coulombe: Vice-President, Gail Waldron; Secretary, Donna Anderson, and Treasurer, Peter St. Lawrence. Mr. Edmond Vachon is again holding the position of faculty advisor, and our new teacher, Miss Nita Hale, has taken the place of assistant advisor. After the first twelve weeks of school, the members of the freshman class chose two of their classmates, Martha Bridg- ham and Painter Howe as their representa- tives. Council The Student Council is also represented on the Athletic Council, and Lionel Cou- lombe and Donna Anderson were elected to hold these positions this year. Various duties are performed by this organization throughout the school year. Some of these are: selecting films and fur- nishing programs for the morning assem- blies: sponsoring the Christmas Formal: supervising fund drives for the March of Dimes, Red Cross, and Heart Association; celling tickets at athletic events; supervis- ing class elections, selling class pins and ushering at evening programs. The Coun- cil has tried to expand the interests of more students to take a part in our school af- fairs. This year it was voted to buy pins for all Student Council members. The main duty of the members of the THE ACADEMY HERALD 57 Student Council, as individuals and as a group, is to attend meetings at which discussions are held to talk over and ex- change the ideas of both the students and the Headmaster. The members that represent our Student Council hold great responsibilities and co- operate to make our school a better place through working together. Shirley Mason, '55 CHAPMAN CLUB Front row.

Even the student who loves good music but plays no instrument bene- fits from the musical facilities at Gould, for the school has a very large record li- brary of classical music which students may use if they wish. The Music Department, under the di- rection of Mr. Marcuse, has presented sev- eral fine programs this year. The first one was the Christmas Vesper Service, held in the West Parish Congregational Church. This candlelight service, with its inspiring sacred music, was a wonderful occasion for the singers, students, and town. On March 19, the glee clubs presented a very much lighter type of program, H. M. S. Pinafore, an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan; all concerned worked very hard on this production, and it was a great success. The climax of the year’s work in music was the spring concert, in which all of the organizations participated, with a few in- strumental solos; this program was also a great success. Thus ended another very successful year in music at Gould. THE ACADEMY HERALD 59 The various organizations are as fol- lows: Band: The band, composed of twen- ty-five members, meets every Monday eve- ning. Dressed in their new uniforms, they have provided much spirit at the basket- ball games: in addition, they also per- formed a service for the people of Bethel by marching in the local parade on Mem- orial Day. This organization also played selections at the one-act plays and the spring concert. Glee Clubs: There are four glee clubs at Gould—Boys’ Glee Club. Freshman- Sophomore Girls’ Glee Club, Junior- Senior Girls’ Glee Club, and Varsity Glee Club; each of these rehearses once a week. The Varsity Glee Club is a mixed chorus, and its members are picked by auditioning singers from the other three glee clubs. This is the most active of all glee clubs, since it presents all of the vocal programs. The main purpose of the other three glee clubs is to teach the basic principles of singing and prepare singers for admission to the Varsity Glee Club, but they also sing several selections in the spring concert. Choir: Students may also sing either in the Congregational Church Choir or the Methodist Church Choir, both of which rehearse every Thursday evening. William Rogers Chapman Club: The purpose of this club is to promote good music in Gould and in the town. This year the club has sponsored the Vesper Service and the operetta, and its members are all willing to help the Music Depart- ment in any way they can. The officers of the club are as follows: President—Gail Waldron Vice-President—Frank Flint Secretary—Julie Wass Treasurer—Paul Fossett Program Chairman—Bev Onofrio Frank Flint, ’54 GOULD BAND Front row.

The Ivlue and Gold A hush fell over the crowd, waiting along the sides of the darkened rink, all eyes glued on the entrance — one of the big events of the year, the coronation of the Carnival queen. Standing on a lad- der at the side, shutter cocked, ready for action, was the photographic editor. Slow- ly the regal procession marched toward the throne; a flashgun popped and the front page picture was taken, one link in the chain of jobs which makes up an is- sue of the school paper. This particular issue began weeks before in the library, where the editors, armed with a schedule of coming events, ideas, and scads of blank paper, roughly out- lined the issue: features, pictures, etc.. delegating specific articles to each reporter. Then, assignments posted, the wheels really began to roll, and the staff took over, each efficiently preparing his own article: ferreting out information about a college, interviewing an outstanding senior, polling the student body for Opinions Apprecited, corresponding with alumni, covering a basketball game, or just keeping out a weather ear for tidbits for the All-Seeing Eye. This done, articles were submitted to the editor, proofread, corrected and passed on to the typists, who, handwriting ex- perts that they are, translated all the scrib- bles into neat, readable material for the printer; also at this time the glossy prints THE ACADEMY HERALD for pictures were sent away to be made into steel plates for printing. The material returned from the printers in long, printed strips, all ready to be proof-read and “dummied up”, one of the most interesting parts of producing a paper. On an old copy of the Blue and Cold a pattern was laid out, and the printed strips were cut and fitted in the proper place, shifted for best spacing and eye appeal; headlines were added (always calling for general quest for a suitable one), and the advertisements, a very nec- essary part of the paper since they support it, were inserted. All this time Mr. Thompson, the faculty advisor, was there in the background, offering advice and en- couragement, but letting the students do the actual work in order that the paper be a true reflection of their interests and abil- ities. With a sigh of relief and a glow of ac- complishment, the editor finally put the “dummy in the competent hands of Carl Brown, the printer, and the staff winged its way to the Spa for a “coffee break” be- fore delving into the evening’s homework. Is this the end? Of course not. The paper had to be called for, folded, sent out to Alumni subscribers, put on sale at the drugstore, and distributed to faculty and student body, who finding a copy mirac- ulously in their desks exclaimed, “ Oh, the Blue and Cold is out again.” Mary Anne Myers, ’54 F.

Another Camera Club picture is taken. Another negative, another bulb, and more special chemicals are put to good use. Over three hundred dollars were spent for useful darkroom supplies during the year, which certainly shows that we have an active club. We are just ending another successful year full of interesting and exciting events. We have had regular meetings every second Tuesday, with many special meetings on alternate weeks and afternoons. At our regular meetings some of the special sub- jects were Flexichrome, the new Kodak color process so much used in advertising now, composition, enlarging, printing, de- veloping and many ethers. A special highlight was the meeting on “Snow Pictures” with talks by Sandra Myers and Wendell Bragg, which featured the methods of Gustav Anderson and Newell Green. We enjoyed seeing the actual show prints sent to us for this meeting by these famous photographers. The Club had many slide talks and movies on photographic subjects which have been beneficial to all members. A few of these were on the use of filters, outdoor pictures at night, Kodachrome slides, and the making of Verichrome film. As usual the Camera Club furnished news pictures for every issue of the Blue and Gold, five complete pages for the Academy Herald, and special event pictures for various newspapers. Making these pictures has been work but also good ex- perience and a lot of fun. In early November we had a talk and demonstration on the making of Christ- mas cards. This was followed by a special “work” meeting, and resulted in one of the most popular and sustained ac- tivities of the year. Steady production of these cards went on from November until Christmas vacation, and the cards were sent to hundreds and hundreds of friends and relatives of Gouldites. Club One of the new activities of the Club was the work on a really useful notebook which members can use now and especially in later years. Each week additional form- ulas, methods, and notes on tested ma- terials were made available to all members. Prizes will be awarded for the best note- books in June. The 1953 prize winning prints of the Eighth Annual National High School Photographic Awards were shown during February on the walls of the upper hall, where they attracted much attention. This will be an annual Club feature. Our own print contests were held in January, April, and May, and we had many fine prints. David Vincent and Paul Fcssett were among the high point scorers. Without the faithful patience and guidance of Mr. Gayle A. Foster the Camera Club could not exist. Mr. Foster has a fine salon record and is past president of the Pictorial Photographers of America and of the Greenwich Photographic So- ciety. Behind Mr. Foster are the Club’s officers, Dave Vincent, president; Mary Anne Myers and Wendell Bragg, vice- presidents; Mary Patrick and Sandra Myers, secretaries; and Carter Taylor, treasurer. They have all done much to improve the Camera Club. The Club workrooms have seen a great deal of work this year. Almost every af- ternoon and most week-ends somebody is there busy with personal pictures or Club work or helping others to learn the good things about this fine hobby. At the end of the year comes the high- light of the year — the Annual June Camera Club Show. This year it consists of the best prints made by members re- cently and a showing of all of the records made of Gould activities this season. There is also a selection of prints made in past years and a guest exhibit by a famous photographic worker. Carter Taylor, ’55 64 THE ACADEMY HERALD Dramatics Friday evening, February 5, 1954, the annual Gould Academy Winter Carnival three-act plays were presented in the Wil- liam Bingham Gymnasium. The first play was Bird On the Wing by James Reach. This is a gay comedy with natural plot situations and moments of sheer hilarity. The heroine is Ellie Vincent played by Kay Dorey. She is going on her first real date to the junior prom at the college. To do this, she has jilted her old stand-by. Sonny Roberts, played by David Lord, and accepted the invitation of Oscar Snootzer, the college eccentric, who writes poetry that nobody can understand. When Oscar patches up his quarrel with his old girl friend, Ellie gets jilted — but Sonny, her old beau, comes to the rescue. The next play on the program was, The Informer by Liam O’Flaherty. The story is about a member of the Irish Un- derground whom the British have shot and killed during the troubled time in the early 19 20's when Ireland rebelled against English rule and everyone was suspicious of his own shadow. The scene takes place in the McPhillip kitchen in Dublin. Mrs. McPhillip’s son was the member who was killed and his friends are out to find the informer. Mrs. McPhillip was played by Sue Stowell and Mary McPhillip, her daughter, was played by Dale Stevens. Dan Gallagher, officer in the underground, played by William Hoag tried to convince Mary to join him and help find the in- former. Bartley Milholland played by Robert Blake and Tommy Connor played by William Coolidge both members of the underground try and succeed, after many vain attempts, in discovering the guilty one. Rat Mulligan played by Peter St. Lawrence was under suspicion but found to be innocent. Gypo Nolan, also under suspicion, played by A1 Barth was the dead boy’s best friend. Katie Fox, Gypo’s sweetheart and a girl well familiar with the city was played by Nancy Taillon. Gypo was the informer and as the curtain closed, he was begging Mrs. McPhillip’s foregiveness before he dies. The last play of the evening was The Palmer Way by Nicholas E. Bachr. The story takes place in the Mumford living room. George Mumford played by Wen- dell Bragg is a mild man with a whopping inferiority complex. Not only is he afraid of his ambitious wife, Ellen played by Barbara Jodrey, but of his boss as well. Impatient with his timid attitude, Ellen decides to take the matter into her own hands and plans a dinner for the boss and his wife. Meanwhile, George en- rolls secretly in a personality course given by The Palmer Personality Corporation. Desperately he practices the rules for a dy- namic personality taught him by Mr. Breene played by Skip Pettapiece. At the dinner, George applies the principles of the course, trying to win the approval of his boss played by Van Gale and the boss’ wife played by Jo Durham. He succeeds! Beverly Noyes was stage manager and Mary Giuld, Brita Myhrman, Dick Budge, Howard Donahue, and Larry Spinney handled the props. Mrs. Thomp- son, Miss Hale, Miss Kimball and Mr. Roderick handled the Make-up. Mr. David Thompson directed the three plays and with everyone’s co-operation, they were a great success! On April 17, 1954 the senior class pre- sented their annual senior class play, Mother is a Freshman by Raphael David Blau. As the curtain opens, we find our- selves in the Abbott home where Mrs. Abigail Abbott a widow, played by Nancy Taillon and her daughter, Susan, played by Nancy Willard are discussing college plans. It seems that Susan is unable to re- turn to college unless her mother goes too. After a long discussion, mother wins and off to college they go. Sylvia very studi- ous girl and one who hates boys played by Sarah Dolloff, Bunny a cute, naive girl played by Nancy Carver, Helen a sophis- THE ACADEMY HERALD 65 ticated girl played by Val Stevens, Carrie a happy-go-lucky girl played by jMary Hewitt, Clara a scatterbrain and Susan’s faithful puppy played by Mary Anne Myers, and Marge a pleasing but rather heavy girl played by Jo Durham, are all friends of Susan who picture this Mrs. Abigail Abbott to be a primitive old busy body. Even Mrs. Miller, the conservative house mother, played by Gail Waldron and the Dean of Pointer College played by Ray Nowlin, try to think of various ways to prevent Mrs. Abbott from receiving the scholarship which makes it possible for her at attend Pointer College. Professor Michaels played by Peter St. Lawrence is an extremely good looking man. He is the ideal of all the girls especially Susan who thinks him her personal property. Poor Bobo played by Skip Pettapiece likes Susan a great deal and suffers because of her crush on Prof. Michaels. Jack, A1 Barth, Howie, Robert Blake and Bill, Wil- liam Hoag, too, think this Professor Michaels is just an old man with no ap- peal, and they can’t see what attracts all their girls. But this Mrs. Abigail Abbott surprises everyone and has a great time at college. She even succeeds in winning Professor Michaels. All ends well because Susan finally notices Bobo and the fellers get their girls. Dick Budge was stage manager and Donna Anderson, Mary Patrick, Dave Gove, and Mary Kneeland handled the props. Mrs. Thompson, Miss Hale and Mr. Roderick handled the make-up. Mr. David Thompson directed the play and thanks to everyone’s help the play was a big success.

Span is This year a new organization made its appearance on the list of extra-curricular activities at Gould; the Spanish Club, open to all students who are studying Spanish, was founded by Miss Dragonas last fall. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in Spanish beyond the classroom study of the language and to learn something about our neighbors to the south. At its first meeting, the club elected the following officers: President Frank Flint Vice-President and Secretary Nancy Taillon Sandy Hatch CU Since its first meeting, the club has been a very active organization; on March 6, it presented a very successful fiesta in the William Bingham Gymnasium, which was one of the highlights of the school year. The club also made a tape record- ing of a discussion on the topic, “Why we study Spanish and how we think it will strengthen our ties with Spanish- speaking countries”. This tape was sent to New York, where it will be used on a Voice of America radio program trans- mitted in Spanish to Spanish and Latin America.

French Clu The officers for this year were as fol- lows: President, Gail Waldron: Vice- President, Van Gale; Treasurer, Nancy Willard: Secretary, Mary Ann Myers. This organization holds its meetings every other Wednesday. During these meetings they discuss French literature and arts and sometimes even plan for parties. They also decorate the French room in a French likeness or display things of in- terest concerned with France. A party given for everyone in school, and outsiders, too, was the highlight of the year. It was given in the likeness of a French nightclub. The entertainment was an imitation of the French, also. Everyone profits from contact with the art and literature of a country which is so popular with all nationalities. We hope a continuance of this organi- zation will give the students a better knowledge of the French people and their customs.

F ootball Losing no time as fall arrived at Gould, Coach Scott, along with Joe Roderick and Mr. Kailey, issued the long awaited call for football practice. With a green but willing squad, the boys and coaches got down to the work of producing a winning team. Faced with a schedule of seven games, the squad traveled to Mexico to meet an experienced team that had already played two games. From the opening kickoff the game was a seesaw affair. In the first period the Gould Huskies moved the pigskin to the Mexico three yard line but were held for downs and Mexico took over. While at- tempting to run the ball out of the shadows of their goal posts, their ball car- rier was tackled by Brush and Melville, giving the Huskies a two point edge. The game seesawed back and forth the rest of the game with neither team threat- ening the other's goal. The game ended with the Huskies winning by the margin of 2-0. The following Saturday the Gould eleven played host to the Cardinals of South Paris. In the opening quarter the Cardinals were the first to break the ice when a LeBlanc to Snow pass clicked for THE ACADEMY HERALD 71 a 39 yard touchdown. The Huskies came back to tie the game in the second quarter on a Burnham to Corey pass that covered 58 yards. In the third quarter the Huskies, led by Phil Rowe’s touchdown run of 38 yards, took over the lead to stay. The final count showed the Gould boys ahead 13-6. The next Saturday the Gould team welcomed the Parents, by beating Norway 12-6. Gould’s Phil Rowe started things off in a bang, by taking the opening kickoff and going 84 yards for a touchdown. In the second period Burnham pushed over with another six points to give the Huskies a 12-point lead. In the final period of play a Greenleaf to Dyer pass clicked for a touchdown and a 12-6 ball game. Traveling to Lyndon, Vt., the Gould eleven lost its first game of the season and its first in 12 games. Playing against their spirited rivals, the Gould eleven was turned back 20-7. The Gould team was completely outplayed in the first three periods and came to life too late in the last period to catch the host Lyndon team. The next Saturday the Gould team had an easy afternoon as they clubbed the M.C.I. Undergraduates 38-0. The Huskies showed that they meant business right from the opening kickoff until the end of the game. In the third quarter, Coach Scott gave all the boys on the bench a chance to show their skill. Although the game was un- evenly matched, it gave everyone a chance to show his stuff. Next Wilton came to town and was an easy 22-7 victory for the Gould team. Phil Rowe again showed the way as he scored two touchdowns. In the last quarter the Wilton team came to life, but it was too late to do any damage, as the game ended 22-7. After a four day's postponement because of heavy snow, the Gould team journeyed to Fryeburg on Armistice Day, and de- feated their arch rivals 9-0. The first score of the ball game came in in the second quarter as Melville drove over from the two yard line. The Gould team ended their scoring by adding a safety, when Corey tackled a Fryeburg player in his end zone. The game ended with the score: Gould 9, Fryeburg 0. Never to be seen in a Blue and Gold football uniform again are: Captain Mel- ville, Adams, St. Lawrence, Budge, Barth, Pettapiece, Gale, Corey, Jodrey and Spinney. We wish the coaches and returning candidates, led by Captain-elect Ed Burn- ham, much continued glory. Skip Melville, ’54 72 THE ACADEMY HERALD CROSS COUNTRY Front row, (left to right) : Frank Benson; Bill Hoag; Harry Taylor; Bob Lingham (cap- tain) ; Bill Coolidge; Bob Edney. Back row: Coach Fossett; Bart Larrow; Dave Fox; Curt Mead; Malvern Wilson; Manager David Lord. CyPOSS Couiltpij The outlook for Coach Fossett’s har- riers looked exceedingly dim as the season opened with but one letterman, Captain Bob Lingham, returning for the 1953 sea- son. Lingham is the product of last year’s undefeated squad, while only five others with running experience and four new- comers turned out to tackle the grueling sport. The Fossettmen had three dual meets scheduled as the season opened, with a slim possibility of entrance in the State Championship at Orono. They traveled first to Fryeburg, a prep school, then jumped to the triple F class as they went on the road to Portland, and wound up the season by entertaining a powerful Stephens High combine at Bethel. Journeying to Fryeburg Academy for the season’s opener, the Huskies were nipped by three points in the nearly even race. The inexperienced Bethel Club sur- prised all by their fine showing against this year’s State Champions in prep school competition, going down to defeat by the narrow margin of 26-29. Fryeburg’s fleet ace, Ray Payne, ran the course in the exceptionally good time of 11:25 min- utes, followed by a teammate, Hamilton, who squeaked across the finish line just ahead of tiring Bob Lingham. Gould bunched its runners by placing Taylor, Coolidge, Hoag, Edney, Wilson, and Ben- son in the fifth through tenth slots, but it was still not quite enough for a win. Under the guiding hand of their long- time mentor, Coach Fossett, the Gould Hill-Dalers bounced back strongly from their first defeat to trim Portland 22-35 at the Oaks. Captain Lingham, in show- ing his heels to the entire field, turned in the best race of his career as he toured the two and a half mile course in the excellent THE ACADEMY HERALD 73 time of 12:34 minutes. The Huskies proved to be more than a match for their long-time rivals as they bunched four men in the first six places to clinch the victory. Harry Taylor, Bill Coolidge, and Bill Hoag placed third, fourth, and sixth. Freshman Jim Murphy of the Bulldogs ran well, but could do no better than sec- ond, twenty-four seconds behind Gould’s speedy ace, Bob Lingham. The following week the Gouldites en- tertained a powerful Rumford club on the Bethel course for the windup meet of the season. The hosts ran a commendable race but were simply outclassed in the final standings, as they bowed 19-36. Clyde Kerr, of Stephens High, led the visitors to victory as he toured the two and a half mile layout in the record time of 13:22 minutes. Conley, of Portland, held the previous record of 13:38. Lingham led the Huskies in as he captured second place, followed by Hoag, Benson, Taylor, and Coolidge, who placed seventh through tenth, in the order. With a one and two record, the Gould team came through better than was ex- pected. Captain Lingham and Bill Hoag will never again don the Gould colors. With the five other lettermen, Coolidge, Taylor, Benson, Edney, and Wilson, re- turning for next season, the outlook is good. The consistent placing of Bill Coolidge led his teammates to elect him Captain of the 1954 running squad. Dave Lord, this year’s manager, will be replaced by Dave Vincent, this year’s assistant in the depart- ment. Bob Lingham was the only Gould en- try in the State High School Champion- ships at Orono after the regular season. Running through knee-deep puddles and driving rain, the blond-headed ace picked off a 28th out of 184 starters. Coach Fossett deserves a high commen- dation for the great job he did in training a group made up largely of inexperienced runners and making a good squad out of them. Cross-country is one of the most grueling of sports, and a good deal of credit should go to the runners for their perseverance. Pete St. Lawrence, ’54 74 THE ACADEMY HERALD VARSITY BASKETBALL Front row, (left to right) : John Chase; Gene White, co-captain; Merle White: Phil Rowe; Paul Fossett, co-captain: Skip Melville. Back row: Coach Anderson; Howard Rolfe; Richard Trimback; Dave Lieberman: Ed McDonald; Bill Daley; Manager Dave Gove. BasL Gould’s basketeers, this year, turned in one of the best records of recent years with a 10 win — 5 loss production in regular season play. The hole left by the loss of Leo Rolfe and Frank Murphy seemed hard to fill. However, it soon became apparent that the team, built around three return- ing veterans, Paul Fossett, Gene White, and Skip Melville, ably supported by Phil Rowe and Merle White, was as good or better than ever. Playing some sharp ball, the Huskies started the season with five straight wins over some tough teams. This blazing start was followed by a string of five losses, all against strong competition. At this point, a good season was salvaged with six sparkling wins, three of which were against Sun-Journal competition. By virtue of these crucial wins, Gould took second place in the league with a five won ■t Id ci 11 and 3 lost record. Two of these losses were administered by South Paris which seems to be Gould’s nemesis on the basket- ball court. The Huskies played consistent ball in almost every game, and their scoring punch and well-balanced team-play was evident in their excellent record. They also have the satisfaction of defeating the Western Maine Class M Champions, Wil- ton Academy. Paul Fossett, playing forward, spark- plugged the team with his deadly accurate field and foul shooting and excellent re- bounding. He was the high scorer for Gould with 295 points and scored over 20 points in each of six games. Playing consistent ball in the other for- ward slot was Merle White with 159 points for second high in scoring. THE ACADEMY HERALD 75 Hard-driving guard, Gene White, fol- lowed closely in this category with 150 points. His driving lay-ups always kept opponents off-balance and often turned the tide in close games. Playing guard with Gene, was Skip Melville, one of the best defensive players to perform for Gould in recent years. He scored most of his 84 points with a dead- eye set shot. Phil Rowe played most of the games at center, and scored 93 points in that posi- tion, always playing aggressive ball. The relief chores were handled ably by Bill Lord, John Chase, Bill Daley, Howie Rolfe, Dick Trimback, and Ed MacDon- ald, all playing exceptionally good ball. Because of the new rule for tournament play, which has the first four teams in the S-J league playing off for the chance to represent this section of Maine, Gould par- ticipated in the regional play-off at Rum- ford. Playing the first game against a strong Mexico club, Gould exhibited some of its best basketball of the season and came out on top 47-53. Teamwork told the whole story in the game. After fighting a close first half with South Paris in the final game, Gould was snowed under by a disastrous second half and wound up on the short end of a 65-38 score. This concluded the basketball program for ’54, and I am sure we can all be proud of these boys who worked so hard repre- senting their school. Graduating this spring are three of the starting five, Co-captains Fossett and White, and Melville. Although these top performers will be hard to replace, prospects for next year are good with Merle White and Phil Rowe remaining in the starting line-up and backed up by Chase, Daley, MacDonald, Lord, Trimback. and Rolfe of this year’s varsity squad. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Bowhay, the Husky Pups finished the sea- son with a good 8 won and 4 loss record.

Wi ntep Sports Herbert Adams, captain, headed the list of returning skiers this year. Pete St. Lawrence, Verne Corkum and Eddie Burnham were additional returning letter- men. New material in the form of Carl Merrill, Bart Larrow, Bob Edney, Kenny Rafuse and Bill Anderson filled the bill. Alan Chase was manager and Howard West assistant. Our first meet was held here at Gould with Holderness. Unlike the preceding year we had plenty of snow. Gould out- skied the New Hampshire school by 20.9 points. Gould gained first place in the cross- country; Burnham with first, Adams with second and Pete St. Lawrence third. Adams, Burnham, Larrow and Corkum took the first four places in that order in jumping. The next weekend the Blue and Gold representatives traveled to Auburn to meet their arch-rivals here in the state. Along with Edward Little, there were Berlin, New Hampshire, Stephens High of Rum- ford and Farmington, who finished in that order. Herbert Adams won the coveted Ski- meister Award, taking firsts in cross- country and downhill. Jack Bennett, an- other four event man, was close upon Herb’s heels. Downhill and slalom were held at Pleasant Mountain, Bridgton. Re- turning to Auburn the next day, the Gouldites picked up the points they lost the preceding day and went on to win the meet by 4 tenths of a point. Gould Academy lost to two schools at our carnival; University of New Hamp- shire Freshman and Lebanon, New Hamp- shire. 78 THE ACADEMY HERALD Gould won the cross-country Friday afternoon, Herbert Adams finishing sec- ond behind Carr of Lebanon. Burnham, Corkum, St. Lawrence and Rafuse placed third, fifth, sixth and seventh in that or- der. The Blue and Goldsters went into Sat- urday's competition with a comfortable 6-point lead. Downhill and slalom were run on Saturday morning. Roger Dion, of Lebanon, won the downhill, Lem- onthe of University of New Hampshire, placing second and Larrow of Gould, third. James Carr, of Lebanon, matched his teammate by taking first in the slalom. Collins of University of New Hampshire was second, Adams of Gould was third, and Larrow of Gould fourth. Dion showing superb form in the jump- ing, won it with Burnham second and Larrow third. The final tally showed Lebanon the winners of the meet with a 10-point lead over Gould. On the weekend of February 12-13 the Huskies traveled to Auburn to compete in the State meet. Herb Adams of Gould won the Skimiester Award by 2 points over second place Jack Bennett of E. L. Although E. L. won the jumping and cross-country, Gould successfully defended its title and won by 4.2 points. Bart Larrow of Gould finished first in the slalom, with a time of 5 seconds faster than second place Herb Adams, also of Gould. Farmington, Rumford, Bridgton, Andover and Wilton finished third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh in that order. Towle of Edward Little won the downhill race. During the vacation, the boys journeyed to Lyndon, Vermont to participate in the New England Interscholastics. Bogle of Kennett, won the Skimiester Award, Pete St. Lawrence of Gould was second. De- mers of Lebanon won the cross-country, while Carr, also of Lebanon, captured second. Burnham of Gould copped third. Gould placed well in the downhill, Pete St. Lawrence placing first while fellow Husky, Bart Larrow, placed second, 1.6 second behind. Kennet of Conway won the slalom with Bogle finishing first.

Baseball Under the capable leadership of Coach George Bowhay, in his seventh year as baseball coach, the 1953 Gould baseball team finished another successful season. Although the team was hampered by the loss of five lettermen through graduation, and Captain Paul Bartlett’s knee injury (which prevented him from playing in about two games) it made a fine showing, winning six, including the Alumni Game, and losing three, two of the three losses being caused by South Paris and one by Norway. Practice was started in late March in- side the spacious field house. From a group of twenty-five men, which included six veterans of the previous year. Coach Bow- hay and J. V. Coach, Kailey, formed a well balanced team. A practice game scheduled at Gorham, N.H., was rained out three times and never played. The team, under Captain Bartlett, began its regular schedule on May 5, with a trip to Mexico. The Huskies walked away with a 16-1 win. Winning pitcher was Herb Adams, who allowed only four hits and struck out thirteen. Losing pitcher was Biden, who allowed 13 hits and struck out two. The second campaign of the year ended on a different note. On May 9, Gould met South Paris at Bethel and lost with a score of 9-3. The winning pitcher, Snow, allowed only 3 hits and struck out 15. Losing pitcher, Rolfe, relieved in the fifth THE ACADEMY HERALD inning by Adams, allowed 9 hits and struck out 5. On May 1 6, Gould travelled to Norway where they met with their second defeat. Dyer pitched a 3-hit no-run game for Norway defeating Gould 7-0. Adams and Rolfe share mound duty; Adams being the losing pitcher. On May 22, Gould again lost a dis- couraging game to South Paris, suffering an 8-0 loss—their third straight loss. The winning pitcher. Snow, was credited with 16 strike-outs and pitched a no-hit, no- run game. Losing pitcher, Rolfe, relieved in the fifth inning by Adams, struck out 3 and allowed 12 hits. The next game, on May 25, against Gorham at Bethel met with better results. Gould defeated Gorham with a score of 10-6. Winning pitcher was Coulombe, relieved in the fifth by Adams and losing pitcher was Miccucci. Gould next entertained Mexico and won an overwhelming 26-3 victory. Phil Rowe hit a home-run and Phil Corey slammed two over the fence in six trips to bat. Winning pitcher, Adams, allowed only 3 hits and fanned 12. With three victories and three losses under their belt, Gould travelled to Frye- burg and defeated them in an 8-6 rally. Winning pitcher, Rolfe, struck out 7 and allowed 7 hits. Continuing up the ladder of success, Gould again defeated Fryeburg on home ground in a 9-4 decision. Adams and Coulombe shared mound duty with Ad- ams being the winning pitcher. Losing pitcher was Bartlett with 4 strike-outs and 8 hits. The last game to be played was on June 13, against the Alumni. This resulted in a 7-2 victory for Gould. Adams and Cou- lombe shared the pitching chores, with Coulombe the winning pitcher. Losing pitcher for the Alumni was Mason with 10 strike-outs and 3 hits. Phil Corey again belted a homer for a total of three home-runs for the year. The J. V. team, under the able man- agement of Coach Kailey, wound up a very successful season with an impressive rec- ord of 6 wins and 1 loss. Their games were played against St. Patricks of Berlin, N.H., Hebron J.V.’s, Andover and Bry- ant Pond, the latter being their only defeat. Captain Paul Bartlett was the squad- man lost through graduation. The newly elected captain is Dick Budge, able third baseman. Coach Bowhay is looking forward to- wards a successful season as he lost but one veteran squad member. The 1954 team should accomplish satisfying results as it will consist of players with previous experience.

T PC1C Through the combined efforts of two capable coaches and a group of willing track and field athletes, Gould’s 1953 cinder squad demonstrated clear superi- ority over every school with which they competed as they gained the Bates Relay, Oxford County, and Maine State Champ- ionships. It was the fifth year since 1946 that the Gould team had won the Maine Interscholastic track trophy; this certainly speaks well for their skilled coaches, Joe Roderick and Robert Scott. Two of the scheduled meets were post- poned early in the spring. Both Cheverus and Norway were unable to compete, leav- ing the Huskies only one duel meet with which to prepare for the rugged grind ahead. In this contest, however, they demonstrated their potentialities of success when they overwhelmed Farmington High on Hippoch Field, 96 to 20. Gould won 11 of the 13 events and made clean sweeps in 6 of them. Erwin Bacon and Frank Linnell performed exceptionally well for the winners, Bacon totalling 19 points and Linnell 13. Dick Trimback, Dale Bosworth, and Frank Murphy posted in- dividual victories in the 100 yard dash, mile, and 440 yard dash respectively. With only one meet under their belts, the Huskies journeyed on May 16 to battle in the Bates relays. Gould, sparked by weight specialist Bacon, demonstrated their outstanding ability in the events by de- throning 1952 champion, Wells, by a 6 4 point margin. Seven other schools entered the competition, but had little to offer ex- cept for several individual stars. The Huskies held a slim 1 point margin af- ter the morning activities. Captain Sonny THE ACADEMY HERALD 83 Hastings pole vaulted to a tie for first place and took third in the discuss toss, but Bacon was by far the standout per- former in the field events as he hurled the shot, discus, and javelin for first places and tied for third in the high jump to amass 1634 of the 25 34 points which Gould held as they entered the afternoon battling. The Husky relayists, although hindered somewhat by the heavy track, did not al- low their lead to fall. Quarter milers— Dave Fleet, Peter Oakes, Wendall Bragg and Frank Murphy combined to tie the track record for the mile relay, set in 1950 by Farmington, and thus shoved their school further ahead of scrapping Wells. In the 440 relay event, the Huskies earned another victory as Ray Nowlin, Dick Trimback, Frank Murphy, and Felix Mc- Morran edged out Wells by a third of a second. Gould scored in every event ex- cept the broad jump and took every ad- vantage of their first real opportunity to show their strength in both the track and field events. The final score was: Gould 49f4, Wells 43, Wilton 16, Farmington 12, Lincoln Academy 12, Winslow 7 34, Mexico 7, Camden 4, and Cape Eliza- beth 3. On the following Saturday, the Gould tracksters played host to Mexico High and Fryeburg Academy in the Oxford County Track Meet. The Huskies well-balanced attacks gained them firsts in all but two events to compile 9434 points to Mexico’s 27 and Fryeburg's 2134. Frank Linnell’s brilliant work in the hurdle and dash races were the outstanding factors in the Gould win. Firsts in the high hurdles, low hurdles, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, and a tie for first in the broad jump gave Linnell a total of 24 points. Bacon was again unbeatable in the discus, shot, and javelin and added 19 more to the de- cisive margin. His 45 foot 6 inch heave in the shotput established a new school record in that event. Captain Hastings added 1 1 points to the total and Frank Murphy boosted it 5 more with a 440 win. The next week, the Huskies travelled to Waterville; many observers favored the Gould team in the state-wide competition, but defending champion Skowhegan and Thornton Academy entered strong oppo- sition, and a close battle was anticipated. Bacon tripled again in his specialties, the discuss, shot and javelin, to prove his ex- cellence among Maine’s medium school weight men. Hastings nailed the pole vault ribbon with a 10 foot leap and tied for third in the high jump. Frank Lin- nell was the other Academy individual winner as he covered the 220 yard cinder track in 23.5 seconds. His third in the 180 yard low hurdles boosted the Gould total. Ray Nowlin dashed the 100 for a second place and took third in the broad jump. Skip Pettapiece followed Bacon in the javelin toss for a second in that event. The Huskies totaled 49 points to pace the entire medium school field and brought home another state championship to Gould. Thornton Academy placed second with 35,' 4 and Skowhegan followed with 27. Others scoring were Presque Isle 23 34, Houlton 21, Farmington 11, Brewer 9, Winslow 8, Fryeburg 7, Dexter and Rich- mond 2 each. Letter winners on the championship track squad for 1953 were: Captain Sonny Hastings, Erwin Bacon, Frank Linnell, Dale Bosworth, Frank Murphy, Peter Oakes, Floyd Staples, Ray Nowlin, Skip Pettapiece, Dick Trimback, Felix McMorran. Bob Lingham, David Fleet, Bob Edney, John Calef, Wendell Bragg, Samuel Adrience, and Urban Bartlett, Manager. With seven of these varsity trackmen returning in 1954, Coaches Roderick and Scott and Captain-elect Skip Pettapiece could well continue the habitual success of recent years in Gould’s track cycle.

Girls’ PI, ljsicqI Educati on Under the direction of the Girls’ Ath- letic Association and our teacher, Miss Arndt, the girls’ afternoons and Saturdays are spent participating in the different sports offered. The Association is made up of class representatives, officers, and managers of the different sports. Its purpose is to pro- mote permanent interest in sports and to emphasize sportsmanship. The officers of 1954 are president, Donna Anderson; vice-president, Jane Smith; secretary-treas- urer, Ann Hastings. During the latter part of ’53, the offi- cers and the new members of the Associa- tion enjoyed a pleasant day at Ann Hast- ings’ camp at Umbagog Lake in Upton. The day passed very quickly with the girls enjoying many of the sports. Of course, there were eats on hand which we cooked out-of-doors. This fall came around with some of the most beautiful weather ever experienced by fall sports fans. A late fall tourist would be sure to see the girls dashing over to the hockey field or to the tennis courts. He would be sure to see archery enthusi- asts going over to the field to see how many points they could rack up. He would also see a group of girls going on a short hike in preparation for the Mt. Washing- ton climb, which came on Saturday, October 3. After a few weeks of practice games in hockey, class teams were chosen, follow- ing long battles and close scores, the Juniors walked off the field as the victors. Due to cold weather the blue and gold teams were not chosen. 88 THE ACADEMY HERALD CHAMPION BOWLERS Ann Hastings; Dorothy Bartlett; Alberta Baker THE ACADEMY HERALD 89 On October 31, the girls’ gym was lighted up with a dull orange glow. The sides of the floor were covered with straw and there was a huge shock of corn stocks in the center. As this was the annual A. A. party, the highlight was the skits put on by the different classes. The seniors walked off with high honors. After the hockey season was over, the girls became volleyball conscious. They practiced during class and after school. Teams were chosen from the different classes. Finally class teams were elected. The seniors won the peg. Also at this time of year, the girls be- came interested in bowling. The three top bowlers this year were Ann Hastings, Alberta Baker and Dorothy Bartlett. After Christmas vacation, ardent skiers came back to find the ground bare. How- ever, most of the girls settled down to their favorite—basketball! Within a few weeks snow came, and ski classes were organized under the super- vision of Mr. Richardson and Mr. Myers. Later there will be the battle between the brothers and sisters on the basketball floor. This is an added attraction which climaxes the basketball season. In the spring, the girls turned their at- tention to badminton, softball, hiking and tennis. We are all pleased to find so many valu- able athletic enthusiasts among the new- comers to Gould this year. We wish to offer our appreciation for the wonderful equipment and expert in- struction which Gould offers to all in- terested.

THE ACADEMY HERALD 91 B OLJS Ed u cat ion “Nine laps around the track,” calls out “Joe” Roderick, and another gym period has started. One period each day the dif- ferent classes of boys meet for physical ed- ucation. Gym classes are held regularly for the juniors and seniors, but the fresh- man and sophomore classes are alternated with corrective classes. Each class extends over a period of 45 minutes, and much is accomplished. In the fall and again during the spring, each boy is given a strength test. During those tests, strength in legs, arms, grip, back and lung power is determined. Weight and height are also carefully recorded and compared with previous tests. This shows how much a boy has developed due to the various activities. Freshmen and sophomores are given special tests to determine whether they will need corrective exercises. It is through these exercises that minor defects such as low shoulders are corrected. Each gym class is started with routine exercises as running around the track and calisthenics. During the fall and spring touch football, soft ball or soccer are played out of doors. When it gets cold, the boys move into the cage where they play basketball, volleyball, etc. Instruc- tion is given in the fundamentals of box- ing and some of the holds and procedures of wrestling. This may prove profitable if one is faced with an uncertain situation. Number basketball is played quite a bit and the rules on arts of dribbling and shooting are learned. Badminton and handball played on any one of the three courts are enjoyed by all. During the winter months the activities swing towards gymnastics of all kinds. The boys are taught how to jump on the trampoline and gain aerial balance and control. Tumbling is another sport which is en- joyed extensively. The student is taught the correct way to fall, roll and do the many other stunts connected with tum- bling. Gymnastics are taught on the parallel bars or on the horizontal bar. All these sports develop self-confidence and co-ordination, which are essential in do- ing practically everything. All this ap- paratus is available to the student to use in his spare time after school. With the world situation as uncertain as it is today, “Joe” is emphasizing more in marching and drilling tactics. With this training the student will be able to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces better. Every other year all the classes give an exhibition of gymnastics in the spring. Each class may specialize in a certain field. It proves to be a very interesting exhibi- tion. Our thanks to “Joe” who has accom- plished much in the short time he has each student to the benefit of all.
