IN MEMORIAM With deep gratitude blended with sorrow at his passing, THE HERALD staff wishes to pay tribute to the memory of WILLIAM BINGHAM, II great and good benefactor, through whose carefully planned and open-hearted generosity our unexcelled facilities have risen and the future education of many Gould graduates has been guaranteed. To him our school stands as a living monument, perpetuating his memory by means of the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of untold generations to come. To MR. PAUL G. KAILEY, The Class of 1955 dedicates the sixty-ninth issue of the ACADEMY HERALD. He, as an in- structor in skiing and driver's training, and as a teacher of world history and social studies for the past five years, has given untiringly of his time, his efforts, and his capabilities to bring to Gould many fine trophies in the field of winter sports.

Yes. it was the freshman class, the largest one there has been for quite some time. This class of '58 has eighty-two members and is headed by these four competent officers: President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Richard Grover Lauriston Bragg Patricia Kittredge Michael Stowell We've had time to look the class over and here are some miscellaneous comments we feel our class- mates might make.

Dawne Christie, ’58 48 THE ACADEMY HERALD Gehring Hall Whether it is September, January or May, 7 A.M. in Gehring Hall is greeted the same way, consisting of the thump of feet hitting the floor, the shaking of a deaf roommate (or at least she appears deaf the way she never hears the bell), clumsy groping for a shower hat. the interrup- tion of a heavenly dream, and bathroom chatter which consists of acknowledging groans. Thus the day begins for the Gould Academy girl, not a particularly cheerful specimen at the beginning of a bright, new day! Is this the same girl, twenty minutes later, feeling her way into the dining room, allowing natural instinct to guide her orange juice to her pale lips? (She for- got her lipstick.) So it is. After making her bed, dusting her room, at least dusting it in the open spaces where Mrs. Blackadar will see, she pro- ceeds downstairs, gathers up her handfuls (?) of mail, and gaily trips off to school. The morning passes quickly, although each morning has its calamities, such as forgetting one’s glasses, and each one has its good points, for instance, an ‘'A on a theme you thought simply terrible. Of course there are the activity period hunger pains accompanied by the firm resolution that a huge breakfast will be eaten tomor- row morning so the embarrassing growls of an empty stomach will be warded off. With the twelve o'clock bell, the famished herd of girls trots back to the dorm to see what Mrs. Blackadar chose to give them for the condition of their various dwellings, to eat one roll too many, to in- dulge in a scrumptious dessert containing a multitudinous number of calories, and, if the girls have permission, to savor the goodness of a king sized “cancer stick, enjoyed in a friendly, gossipy and smoky atmosphere. Of course the day isn't complete with- out the forty-five minutes during which one leaps around in a variety of activities, THE ACADEMY HERALD 49 wearing a ghastly gym suit. Young women must have their exercise.” How- ever true that statement may be. running around the boys’ track is a horrible way to get healthy. At last it is 3:15. No rest for the weary. Afternoon sports call to our athletic damsels, such as skiing, basket- ball, and hockey, in which the number of bruises and scraped knees do not neces- sarily tell the worth of a player. Two hours to call their own! Maybe the girls are uptown with some fair young lads, or the other alternative, which is easily the less preferred of the two, uptown on their own money. A good book might serve a purpose as a substitute or hastily scribbled notes to some news-starved par- ents. Whatever is chosen, those two hours fly. Mail and supper end the day as far as contacts with the outerworld are con- cerned. A shower or bath might follow next, complete with barber shop quartets, discussions of philosophy, cold water fights, or even a hashing over of some juicy morsel of the latest information. With the threat of exams, college boards and daily quizzes, most of the Gehring Hall cherubs dig into their tasks at seven o'clock promptly, or at least shortly thereafter. Declensions, square roots, and baby care are some of the many items which are juggled around and thought about by our studious friends. Everyone is well oc- cupied, especially after nine o’clock, when washroom chatter hits its highest peak. With a few impolite yawns and some hasty studying for a test which was for- gotten about, books are put away, curlers donned, excuses given for brushing teeth after lights, a murmured Good night” comes without fail, and dreams finally in- vade the tousled head of each young lady.

THE ACADEMY HERALD 51 Holden Hall HUMBLE HUMBUG FROM HOLDEN To understand Holden Hall more clearly, a quick informative trip around the dorm might be helpful. The narrow passage on one’s right has been appropriately named Heroes' Al- ley”. The boy who just slid stealthily into the last room is Jeffer The Zephyr” DiBiaso. That sly look on his face de- notes mischief close at hand. So it is. Glenn Jackson is sitting on the floor in my room holding a well tripped ankle in his wee calloused mitts. A1 Lamson doesn’t seem to be anywhere around, but the piles of clothes on the floor and beds show that he has probably set forth for the kitchen to perform his grubby duties. Craig Dore is attempting to build the complete U. S. Navy in miniature. Well, to each his own. Back at the main hall, we can hear the tattered strains of some archaic march is- suing from Bob Griffin’s decrepit gramo- phone. From Mr. Scott’s apartment, we hear the gunshots of the old west blasting from his TV set. Bill Black and Guy Whitten think the programs are pretty good, even if they have to get the picture from Mr. Myers and the voice from Mr. Scott. Ask Bill Gallagher what his sis- ter is doing leaning out the window like that? Kinda daring, boy. Next is John Manter’s room. He may become a flying parson if he sticks with cross country. Dig those pictures — Wow! Paul Adler is preparing to sally forth to the butt room. Bill Taillon is beating out a mixed-up tattoo in his drum-cluttered abode. Norm Hall is lying in an ecstatic dope-clouded frenzy on Bill’s bed. I guess he’s one of Bill's best students. We are now entering the pool room. Lauriston Bragg is being told that he is the best man on the oppos- ing team. Bill Barlow just temporarily 52 THE ACADEMY HERALD demobilized Pete Fisher with a cue stick. George Goodloe is losing an argument with Terry Russell for winners. All's fair in love and pool. We now ascend to the upper story, the home of the battle scarred veterans. Mr. and Mrs. Foster are enjoying immensely some program on their TV set. Across the way, Fred Fanning and Jimmy York are wondering what’s so funny; but Howard Brush is too busy getting on his dinner jacket for the Tuesday night dance. Pete Young and Howard West are thoughtfully discussing the Ann Batter- field Reducing Plan. Joe Watson is still trying to spend half the school year on crutches. Rod Barlow says that a basket- ball manager’s life is a happy one, but he didn’t have to make any speeches at rallies. Wesley Young is trying to think of one girl he hasn't flirted with. Danny Lane is in a local telephone conversation again as usual. Wendell Bragg is looking out the window for some smoke signals he’s been expecting from Magalloway. Bob Edney is still trying to get out of the Ber- muda shorts he wore to the French Club Mardi Gras. Too bad Dave Lord didn't have Hi-Fi and Latin the same year. Dave Vincent is deep in the grottoes of the darkroom, no doubt. Bill Daley and Phil Rowe are orating to each other on their athletic achievements and seem to be finding a lot to say. Carter Taylor is mumbling disgusting epithets into his bass horn. Ask Billy Anderson and Joel Stevens what the teachers think about coastal vocabulary. Please don’t throw any more of that stuff out the window, Joel. It drys on the window and is hard to get off. Dave Fox is trying to find plaid shirt, polka-dot tie and a checkered suitcoat that will match well. Alden Bradley is looking on with obvious amuse- ment. A little golf tournament seems to be taking place between the rooms of Reid and Patterson and that of Edgecomb and Cornwall. Must be the Edgecomb Mem- orial Trophy Tourney. FORE! Bob Crane will agree that if you handle chic- kens, you’re liable to get the beak any week. Harry Reid is calmly shooting peas into Watson’s open window and dream- ing of baseball season. In order to find some of the seniors who don’t seem to be around, we had better check a spot dear to the boys—the butt room. Larry Spinney looks as if he's just returned from New York City. Curtney Mead is telling the boys about mid-winter vacation at THE LODGE. Dave Biggins is comfortably perched on his custom-built camel-hide chair, muttering East Arabian gibberish. Dave Lieberman is developing his vocabulary by studying the Crypt of Horror and Weird Tales.

Student The Student Council, now in its tenth year as an organization of Gould Academy, is a student government consisting of rep- resentatives chosen by the student body. This group, accompanied by its faculty advisors, Mr. Vachon. Mr. Myers, and Miss Hale, meets and discusses various problems and suggestions of improvement, put forth by either students or faculty. Their duties also include selecting the films and programs for morning assemblies, conducting fund drives for such charitable organizations as March of Dimes, Red Cross, and Heart Association, and super- vising class elections. In the line of out- side activities, it has been the custom for the Council to sponsor the annual Christ- mas Formal, to select ushers for evening programs, and to sell tickets at athletic events. Council Under the present Student Activity Fee program, the Student Council ap- proves the budget and has final jurisdic- tion over the spending of the non-budgeted sums. A representative of this group is se- lected each year to serve on the Athletic Council, this year's representative being William Daley. The aim of this group is to be con- stantly alert for opportunities to benefit the school and to extend the present bene- fits to a greater number of students.

Musical Activities The Gould band marched out onto the field for the first football game this year proudly wearing brand-new uniforms and led by three high-stepping majorettes. Dur- ing the half-time, it marched in formation on the field, another new practice. In ad- dition to encouraging the football team, the band tooted and banged at all the home basketball games, while the major- ettes went through a complicated routine which included several delightful cart- wheels. This year the band consists of twenty- six players and the three girls who twirl batons. In its once-weekly rehearsals, it has become a well-polished group, and it will play at the Spring Concert and will lead the Memorial Day parade. The girls are divided into a Freshman- Sophomore and a Junior-Senior Girls’ Glee Club, as they have been for the past several years. Although they took part in all of Gould’s musical activities, the choruses were especially impressive at the Christmas Vesper Service on December 12. The theme for the service was “Christmas Carols of All Nations,” and the two groups were seated in the church so as to be able to echo each other and give a feeling of spaciousness. The entire ceremony was carried on by candlelight. THE ACADEMY HERALD 57 The Varsity Glee Club, made up of the entire Boys’ Glee Club plus those girls who were selected by special audition from the girls’ groups, also took part in the Christmas Vespers. All the glee clubs will sing in the Spring Concert, and the Baccalaureate Choir will be composed of the Varsity Glee Club without its senior members. This year the Chapman Club, whose members are chosen for their musical ability by special audition, has made music appreciation lectures available to the entire student body. During the meetings be- fore Christmas, Mr. Marcuse spoke on the general topic of folk music. His classes were able to hear examples of it selected from Gould’s excellent record library and played through its Hi-Fi speaker. After the Chapman Club Concert in March, these lectures will be continued. All the Chapman Club meetings be- tween January and March are being de- voted to rehearsals for the concert, in which all members of the club will per- form. The program will be equally di- vided between classical and folk music and between instrumental and vocal renditions. The school gave all its students the op- portunity for private instruction this year. Mr. Marcuse finds himself very busy teach- ing both instrumental and vocal students. The most gifted of these will be given the opportunity for solo and ensemble per- formances, and several serve as accompan- ists for the glee clubs. Gould is very busy in the field of music this year, and the only regret is that there is not enough time for even more activity. Alice Lane, ’55 GOULD BAND Front row.

The Blue and Gold The hushed audience listens attentively, all eyes on the stage, waiting for the cur- tain to rise. But wait! Smack in the front row. pencil in hand, industriously applying pencil to papyrus, sits ycur Blue and Gold reporter. He or she, as the case may be, is always on the spot, ready to give you a minute by minute description of the goings on at Gould Academy, emphasizing the high- lights. Whether the subject is serious or hu- morous, the assignment is carried out by those persons who have shown the faculty advisor, Mr. Thompson, that they are capable of hard work and literary accom- plishment. There is much more to editing a paper than is obvious to the average casual ob- server. as Patricia Allen and Rose Bever- age, co-editors, could tell you. Each reporter is assigned a special sub- ject to report on and to hand in for proof reading on a previously specified date. This, when approved, is typed and dum- mied up, according to a past edition of the paper. Then it is taken to the printers for the final stage of production. The co-editors are in charge of seeing that the paper is organized and that pro- duction runs smoothly. It is their job to write the editorials which often offer words to the wise. 60 THE ACADEMY HERALD The photographic editor, the feature editors, the sports editors, and the circula- tion manager are in charge of their specific departments and seeing that those assigned to their individual groups do their jobs completely and well. Every person on the staff has his own individual contri- bution to make. Under the Cupola is the student’s “per- sonal” column. Campus Critic offers opinions on the latest books, records, and movies. Kampus Kapers is a report on a combination of different school activities. Girls’ Sports reports on the athletic activi- ties of the girls. These latter three are new this year. F. H. A., Le Cercle Francais, Chapman Club, and Camera Club have their specific columns. There is a section devoted to the whereabouts and activities of the alumni, and an Opinions Appreciated section discussing some con- troversial question. There is also an ex- change column. Boys’ sports are fully covered. The Outstanding Among Us column deals with the history of our more active seniors. There is also a column de- voted to the Headmaster. Being a member of the Blue and Gold staff is an inspiring experience. We sin- cerely hope that this paper, established thirteen years ago, will continue to be a source of inspiration and the spokesman for the student body.

French Club Officers this year are as follows: President, Mary Jane Goodloe: Vice- President. Elizabeth Carter: Secretary. Ruth Mordecai; Treasurer, David Willard: Program Chairman. Nancy Harmon. The French Club consists of students interested in French culture and the French way of life. Discussions of French art and music are based on this interest. Christmas activities included the dec- oration of the French room with repre- sentations of French Christmas holidays and caroling in French around town. Each year the French Club sponsors a soiree” for the whole school. This year, attention was focused on the Mardi Gras. The atmosphere was simulated after the true French holiday. A bit of French sparkle and tang has been added to the Gould Campus due to the activities of the French Club. Mary Jane Goodloe, ’55 62 THE ACADEMY HERAI.D Camera Club Crimson and orange safety lights the sole illumination in the crowded dark- room — the rhythmic ticking of the met- ronome counting off the seconds of en- larging exposure — enameled trays grat- ing in the iron sink as they are tipped back and forth — the constant splash of run- ning water on the prints being washed — a loud giggle at a bad picture — some- one taking orders for hamburgers from the willing darkroom volunteers — a typical scene in the Camera Club workroom at Holden Hall during the mass production of prints ordered by the student body. This is only one of a multitude of activities of Gould's Camera Club, now in its thirteenth year, as anyone who visits the lecture room when a meeting is in progress will verify. Sometime the curtains are drawn, the lights are off. and the attentive club mem- bers are watching a special photographic movie or slides about the taking of good pictures. At one meeting Miss Hale showed us her beautiful and interesting Kodachrome slides of a recent trip to the western coast. At other times the mem- bers enjoy a demonstration, such as the one on Christmas cards given by Mr. Foster, Wendell Bragg, Carter Taylor and Dave Vincent, or the one on photoflash techniques with Dave Vincent at the shutter. We have also profited by the talks and displays given by our capable and faith- ful advisor Mr. Gayle A. Foster, on such subjects as pictorial composition, contests, portraits, and the use of photographic equipment. The Camera Club has a membership of forty students, who not only have access to fine photographic instruction, but have many other splendid benefits through membership. They are entitled to a large discount on all photographic materials they wish to buy, and are able to work in the two darkrooms on their own films and prints as well as take part in the group work. This is a “learn by doing” activity in which they receive free prints for help- ing finish the many pictures ordered by the student body. Many members again made excellent Christmas cards from their own negatives or from stock club snow negatives taken on the campus. They also have the chance to win cash and prize awards for various contests held throughout the year: print contests, notebook contest, and observation contests featuring the club's bulletin board in the hall, faithfully attended to by Virginia Bergeron and Eleanor Moody. In such a recent contest Dennis Robertson was awarded a helpful darkroom manual as first prize. With meetings on alternate Tuesdays the Club will have a total of sixteen reg- ular meetings, and many special small group meetings at ether times. At the fall election meeting the following officers were elected — President, Dave Vincent: Vice-President, Wendell Bragg: Treasurer, Carter Taylor: Secretary, Rose Beverage. The club is also useful to non-members of the student body. They may purchase photographic supplies at the school store at a discount. The students have their choice of hundreds of school activity shots —parties, dances, teams, games, etc., and may purchase any number they want. All Blue and Gold pictures were furnished by the club, and many prints for local and distant newspapers, as well as more than five full pages for the Academy Herald— all produced in the club darkroom. June 6th to 12th is the time of the club's crowning activity — the 13th An- nual Exhibition. As always the mounted activity prints of the year will be shown, as well as special salon type prints by mem- bers, a showing of selected prints from earlier years and a special one man show by one of the world’s greatest photog- raphers. The Camera Club, one of the most active organizations in Gould, owes much to its advisor, Mr. Foster, and to the of- ficers for such a successful year.

Dramatics Friday night of Carnival Weekend, the Gould Dramatics Club under Mr. Thomp- son's capable direction, presented the an- nual three one-act plays, this year all comedies. First on the agenda was Opening Night. by Cornelia Otis Skinner, in which she describes the reaction of her husband, her maid, and her dear and not-so-dear friends on the opening night of a new play. Prin- cipals were Carol Ludwig as Cornelia and Daniel Lane as her long-suffering husband. Flarriet Stevens was a natural in the part of scatter-brained Buzzie”, one of Cor- nelia’s oldest friends. The next play. Blue Stocking, was a comedy about a Mid-western family of the 1 830’s, and their trials and tribulations when a cultured aunt from Boston at- tempts to civilize them and drag them back East with her. Herbert Morton and Dale Stevens played Judge and Mrs. Port- ius Wheeler of Americus, Ohio, and Nancy Harmon was the severely determined Bos- ton aunt. Bartlett Hutchinson was al- most unrecognizable in his whiskers and wig for the part of Grandpa Luckett. an old frontiersman. The last play was the highly successful farce, Romance is a Racket, about a group of American girls traveling in Italy, and what happens when they stop at a sus- picious-looking inn on the bandit-infested Amalfi Drive. Miss Edith, their chaper- one, was fussily played by Eleanor Mer- riam, and David Lord let all the stops out as Miss Ediths nephew, frightened of bandits but virtually terrified of the wrath of Judith McIntyre as his cynical girl friend, Nell. Wendell Bragg stole the show, as usual, with his portrayal of a brawny, brazen, mustachioed, Italian inn- keeper. THE ACADEMY HERALD 65 The senior play Our Miss Brooks, un- der the direction of Miss Kimball, was presented April 22. It was a decided suc- cess. The play dealt with the misfortunes of a high school English teacher when she attempted to put on a genuine production for the school play. She offended the daughter of the president of the school board by not giving her the lead: she feuded, to her chagrin, with the young, handsome basketball coach: and just be- fore the play was to be put on, one of the principals (in the play) came down with appendicitis. By the climax everything was coming down on poor Miss Brooks' head, but naturally it all turned out right in the end, and Miss Brooks was a heroine. Cynthia Hall played Miss Brooks and William Daley was the coach, Hugo Longacre. The sub-plot romance was be- tween Patricia Allen, as Jane, one of the brighter students, and Wendell Bragg, as the basketball star. David Lord was hil- arious as the high school principal, Mary Jane Goodloe was Miss Finch, the libra- rian friend of Miss Brooks, and Nancy Harmon was Miss Audobon. the music teacher. Mrs. Allen, the school board president, was played by Beverly Noyes; taking the part of students in the produc- tion were Mary Jane Cole. Jane Smith. Judithe Ward, Elizabeth Carter, Lorelle Jordan. Mary Guild, Carol Ludwig, Car- ter Taylor, and Fred Fanning. Nancy Harmon. ’55 66 THE ACADEMY HERALD FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA Front row.

Eleven other schools were represented at this meeting, the theme of which was ‘Know Your Neighbor. On April 30, 1954, all members boarded the school bus for the State Convention at Augusta. The theme was Are You a Leader for Better Homes?” Their regular meeting programs have included a talk by Miss Swift on her trip West, a talk by Jane Smith and Barbara Hulbert about Girls’ State, a talk by Iva Rugg about the North Atlantic Regional Conference held at Durham, New Hamp- shire, skits, discussions, work on Christ- mas ideas, aprons, style reviews, shell craft, and yard cleaning. In working for their degrees, the girls have worked on skirts for children, using the old band uniforms, sewing and cook- THE ACADEMY HERALD 67 ing projects, and personal development. Achievement awards are presented at the last assembly. In this and other work, the girls all strive to accomplish six purposes and goals set up for them by the National F. H. A.—1) To promote a growing ap- preciation of the joys and satisfactions of homemaking. 2) To emphasize the im- portance of worthy home membership. 3) To encourage democracy in home and community life. 4) To promote inter- national good will. 5) To work for good home and family life for all. 6) To foster the development of creative leadership in home and community life. 7) To provide wholesome individual and group recreation. 8) To further inter- est in home economics.

Football With the beginning of school in Sep- tember, Coach Scott, assisted by Joe Rod- erick and Mr. Kailey, began the job of forming a co-ordinated eleven out of the forty-five candidates who turned out for football. Because of an open date at the very beginning of the season, the Huskies had four weeks to practice before their opener with South Paris. On this open date the entire squad made a trip to the Bates campus to see Bates play Norwich. The Gould squad opened its season in a big way by overpowering South Paris by the score of 27-0. Capt. Ed Burnham led the team in this victory by scoring two TD’s. Linebacker Dave Biggins made another brilliant play by intercepting a Paris pass and racing to the end zone. On the following Saturday the Huskies traveled to Norway where they trampled the NHS eleven by the score of 27-0. The scoring began early with Burnham making a 55-yard touchdown run on the first play. In the third quarter Gould pulled off a spectacular triple reverse pass with Verne Corkum on the receiving end of a Burn- ham touchdown throw. The next Saturday, Parent’s Day, the G. A. gridsters came from behind in the last quarter to edge out Lyndon Institute 14-13. Capt. Ed Burnham tallied 72 THE ACADEMY HERALD Gould's first TD in the first quarter. In the final quarter the Huskies drove from their own 46 to the Lyndon 11. On the next play QB Phil Rowe, on a fake Statute of Liberty, scampered around his own right end to knot the score 13-13; then Rowe converted for the extra point to pull Gould ahead for good. Mexico’s Pintos spoiled Gould’s per- fect record with a 6-0 victory. The game proved very exciting throughout. Gould was aided by its lack of penalties and Mexico’s abundance of them. Gould threatened in the final quarter, advancing up to MHS’s three-yard line, but failed to tally. On the next Saturday, Gould went to Portland where the team yielded to Chev- erus by the score of 26-7. G. A. scored its only touchdown in the second quarter on a 63-yard run by right-half Jim Mur- phy. The first half was close, but in the second Cheverus overpowered the Huskies. It was noted throughout the game that both teams played hard, but clean, for there were only a few penalties against each squad. Capt. Burnham again led the way to another Gould victory with two touch- downs against our traditional rival Frye- burg Academy. Fryeburg was thumped 24-0. Despite many difficult moments, the Huskies managed to keep the Frye- burg eleven from getting inside the Gould 20-yard line. Burnham ran for two TD’s, one a 3 3-yard jaunt, and passed to QB Phil Rowe for a third. Alan Lam- son made the other tally on an 11-yard sprint around left end. Hanging up their cleats and Gould football uniforms this year are Capt. Ed Burnham, Wendell Bragg, Phil Rowe, Bill Daley, Verne Corkum, Carl Corkum. and Dave Biggins. These seniors and all the other members that comprised the Blue and Gold squad showed excellent courage and sportsmanship throughout the entire season. The team was surely a credit to the school. Next year’s squad, led by Captain-elect Howard Brush, should have a successful season with many veterans returning. We wish them the best of luck.

Absent: Philip Korhonen. Cross Country After the first day of school, about a dozen boys showed up for the pep talk given by Coach Fossett. After that night for the next two months, anyone could hear the same questions, “What are we going to do tonight? Are we to run the course, Kitchen, or Vernon Street?’’ On the average we all ran about three miles at every practice. Gradually, our sore limbs were trans- formed into muscles of steel, due to the rugged practice trail over the Kitchen, and we soon engaged in our first meet of the season. The team journeyed to Dixfield on October 1. Chase, Fanning, Coolidge, and Benson grabbed the first four con- secutive places, followed by Dixfield’s first runner. Edney sewed up the meet with a sixth. The harriers won with an al- most perfect score, 16-45. On October 7. we met Fryeburg on the Gould course. Payne led the runners with Chase a few steps behind. Fryeburg handed the team a defeat by winning 27-28, and Payne set a new record of 12:02, followed by Chase with 12:04. breaking Kendall’s old record. Fryeburg placed three runners in the first four, and then we placed four in the four through eight places. If our sixth man had beaten theirs, who placed ninth, Gould would have won the race. On October 14, Portland came to Bethel and again Chase led the field, followed by Bukov of Portland. We found another wonder runner, Korhonen, who grabbed third, and Gould won the meet by a fair margin with 25-34 as the result. 74 THE ACADEMY HERALD The team drove over to Rumford on October 19 and handed them a defeat by placing three runners Chase, Korhonen. and Fanning in the first four. Rumford has one of the true X-country courses of three miles in length because it goes over hills and through woods with a long hill to climb at the finish. The constant placing of Chase, Fan- ning, and Korhonen gave Gould the de- cision for a score of 23-33. On the 26th of October, we had a re- turn meet with Fryeburg. They were our toughest rival on their course, and we were unable to balance that loss with a win. Ray Payne and his brother Bob Payne, along with three good followers, were a menace to us, and they won the race 21-36. With a record of three won and two lost, the team headed for Orono on No- vember 4. We had a nice trip over and roamed about the campus for two hours. Chase couldn’t run because of a cold: thus our six were Fanning, Korhonen, Benson, Edney, Coolidge, and Manter. The Maine course is about 2.8 miles across the athletic field through fields and woods, by the barns, and with a finish in the gym. Korhonen placed exceptionally well in the meet with a sixth as did Fan- ning, Benson, Edney with 28, 49, and 59 respectively. Manter and Coolidge scored a 107 and 82. There were 150 runners representing twenty-two schools, and Lee Academy won the race. Gould placed ninth. The team should be congratulated for placing as high as they did with their best performer not running. The outstanding work of John Chase made the boys choose him as the captain for the next season. Four lettermen com- ing back next year are Korhonen, Chase, Benson, and Manter with four good pros- pects of Carter, Benson, Whitten, and Fisher. Many thanks to Coach Fossett for the wonderful times and good luck to the future teams of G. A. William Coolidge, ’55 THE ACADEMY HERALD 75 VARSITY BASKETBALL Front row.

Absent: Merle White: Richard Roberts. Basketball With only two regulars, Captain Phil Rowe and Merle White, returning from last year's starting five, Gould Academy suffered its poorest season in three decades as they won only one game while losing fourteen. The loss of Paul Fossett, Gene White, and Skip Melville through gradu- ation made the team far inferior to the 1954 squad. This year's starting five was made up of the two returning lettermen Rowe and White plus Dick Trimback and Howard Rolfe, who were varsity reserves last year, and Carl Corkum, who came up from the 1954 junior varsity team to take the center position. The rugged schedule was made up of eight Sun-Journal league contests and seven other non-league games which in- cluded one tournament bid. The Huskies suffered seven losses before they squeezed out their lone win in an overtime contest against a non-league op- ponent, Leavitt Institute. Then the in- jury-laden team failed to tally another win in their seven remaining games. The loss of John Chase, who trans- ferred to Woodstock early in the season, meant the loss of a valuable reserve. Injuries kept Phil Rowe out of six games and Howard Rolfe out of the last six of the season. This necessitated the bringing of freshman Richard Roberts up from the junior varsity. He played well during the last eight games as a regular, proving himself to be a fine shooter, a clever passer, and a fine prospect for future years. Merle White was the leading point get- ter, scoring 197 points in the fifteen games for a 13 point average from his forward position. 76 THE ACADEMY HERALD Dick Trimback, in the other forward position, followed with 82 points. He hit double figures in three games, showing that he could score. Carl Corkum in the center slot played well defensively and proved himself to be a good rebounder. . The towering height of other centers in the league kept his scor- ing down. Captain Phil Rowe, who served well in that capacity, played aggressive ball and usually did his share of the scoring from his guard position. Howard Rolfe, though usually not a scorer, played steady, aggressive ball and worked well on defense. Dave Lieberman, a set shot artist, and Jim Murphy, a fine defensive man and re- bounder, proved to be valuable reserves as the season progressed. Other reserves were Bill Daley, Bill Lord, and Dave Willard. Those receiving letters are Captain Phil Rowe, Howard Rolfe, Dick Trimback, Bill Lord, Bill Daley, Dave Lieberman. Merle White, Captain-elect Dave Willard, Jim Murphy, and Richard Roberts. Only the last four of these lettermen will be back next year and along with Norm Hill and Dave Edgecomb of this year’s junior varsity should form the nu- cleus of next year’s team. The 1956 team should be a well-spirited combine, and although the future does not look too bright, the Gould fans may be surprised. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Bowhay. the junior varsity played some real thrillers and ended the season with an impressive record of seven wins and three losses.

Verne Corkum: Coach Paul Kailey: Alan Lamson: Wesley Young: Bob Edney; Matts Myhrman: Richard Saunders: Manager Howard West. Winter Sports The individuals composing this year's ski team were Captain Verne Corkum. Ed Burnham, Bob Edney, Ken Rafuse, Alan Lamson, Matts Myhrman, Gerry Smith, and Richard Saunders. Of these only Lamson, Myhrman. and Saunders were new additions, and the rest were from last year's team. The first meet of the year was held at Holderness, New Hampshire, with Gould ending up on the short end of the score. Due to snow conditions, only three events were held which were slalom, downhill, and a giant slalom. Gould started out strong in the cross country with Burnham, Lamson, and Corkum taking the first three places and Rafuse taking fifth to give the team a good score. Burnham set a new course record with the time of 18:38 for the three mile run. Lamson took a first in the giant slalom while the Gould's next man was Myhrman in fifth place. In the slalom, Holderness took the first three places. Burnham was Gould’s first man taking fourth and teammate Lamson right behind in fifth place. The next week, due to the lack of snow on the Gould slopes, the team traveled to Lyndonville, Vermont. Gould got off to a good start in the meet by taking the cross country race with a team score of 99.25. Lamson and Burnham took the first two places with Corkum and Rafuse taking fifth and eighth. In the slalom Lamson took first, Burnham third, Ra- fuse fourth, and Myhrman tenth. In the downhill Lamson again took top honors followed by Wilkie, Parge, and Hazzard all of Lyndonville. This event was the only event won by Lyndonville as a team. In the jumping. Lamson and Burnham took the first two places while Corkum THE ACADEMY HERALD 79 and Smith took fifth and sixth. The totals of the meet were Gould 396.2 to Lyndon- ville’s 386.3. The following week the team traveled to Auburn for the Edward Little carnival, which consisted of four Maine teams and one New Hampshire team. Gould started out strong in the cross country by taking this event with Lamson taking top honors. In the slalom Lamson took first followed by three Farmington skiers. In the down- hill Lamson was Gould’s first man with a fourth. Going into the jumping. Farmington was leading the field by win- ning the Alpine events but dropped to third in the meet. Smith, who had the longest standing jump of the day, took a second place in the event and a first for Gould. Other placers for Gould were Lamson third, Corkum fifth, and Burn- ham who tied for sixth place with Towle of Edward Little. The final totals showed Edward Little on top with 376.86 to Gould’s 373.06. The next week Gould competed in the Rumford High School’s winter carnival and wound up in last place behind Edward Little and Rumford. Due to colds, Burn- ham, Lamson, and Corkum didn’t run cross country, but Lamson and Burnham were able to run the downhill. Lamson took a second and Burnham a fourth. In the slalom, Lamson took second followed closely by teammate Myhrman who took third. In the afternoon jumping. Lamson beat out Gagnon of Rumford for first place. Lamson was followed by team- mates Burnham and Corkum who took third and fifth. Farmington was unable to compete due to illness. Seven teams came to Gould to compete in the state ski meet. The teams to com- pete in the Class A meet were Edward Little, Rumford, Farmington, Andover, Wilton, Fryeburg, and Gould. The down- hill was the first event which was run in a slight rain fall. Stearns and teammate Twitchell of Farmington took the first two places in the downhill with Lamson of Gould taking third place. Other Gould finishers were Edney in eleventh. Saunders thirteenth, and Burnham in fourteenth. In the cross country Akers of Andover took top honors with the best time. Burnham was Gould's best placer in this event taking a third. Other skiers to place for Gould were Corkum thir- teenth and Rafuse nineteenth. In the slalom Lamson collected a first followed by Folger and Twitchell of Farmington. Gould’s next man wasn’t until ninth when Myhrman crossed the finish line. Myhr- man was followed by Saunders who was in eleventh place. In the afternoon jump- ing, Burnham took top honors to become state champion of this event. Burnham was followed by Corkum who was in sixth place. The totals of the meet found Farmington with 374.13, Edward Little with 370.14, Gould with 365.14, Rum- ford with 351.02, Andover with 298.52. Fryeburg with 283.80, and Wilton with 184.13. This was Farmington's first state ski crown. Norm Twitchell of Farmington received the skimeister award with a total of 370.92 points. This meet made Farmington, Edward Little, and Gould eligible for the New Englands. The New Englands were next with ten schools taking part. The ten schools were from Maine, New Hampshire, Ver- mont. and Massachusetts. The conditions were excellent with a new 20-inch snow- fall covering all the courses. The downhill which was to be held at Kingfield was transferred to Farmington where two runs were held to take the place of the one long run that was going to be held at King- field. The race was won by Lebanon’s ace Roger Dion whose two times totaled 60.70. Twitchell of Farmington and Laird of Montpelier were second and third in this event, only a few seconds behind Dicn. Burnham and Myhrman were Gould’s first best finishers. Burnham took a fifth and Myhrman a tenth. Lebanon won the downhill event as a team with a score of 96.60 followed by Gould with a score of 94.97. In the cross country Donovan of Edward Little and Broomhall of Rum- ford took the first two places followed by Lamson of Gould. Our next finishers were Burnham in sixth and Corkum in 80 THE ACADEMY HERALD tenth. This event was won by Gould with 95.82 points followed by Lebanon close behind with 95.17. In the slalom Lamson took third behind Tommy Stearns and Bill Orcutt. In the afternoon jumping, Dion and teammates Morse and Manchester of Lebanon took the first three places. Burnham was Gould's first finisher tying for fourth with Don Towle of Edward Little. Although Lebanon re- tained the New England crown. A1 Lam- son was awarded the skimeister award. The next week Gould journeyed to North Conway to compete in the Easterns with eight teams. Bill Dionne of Kennett and Tommy Stearns of Farmington took the first two places with A1 Lamson of Gould finishing third. In the cross country Gould had Burnham, Lamson. and Cor- kum in the fourth, fifth, and eighth pos- sitions to lead the field in that event. Dion of Lebanon won the downhill with Lam- son. Gould’s first finisher, in eighth posi- tion. In jumping, Roger Dion of Leb- anon took top honors again by pacing the field of forty jumpers. Gould’s first men were Burnham in fifth and Corkum in eighth. Lamson again led the field in the skimeister award with a total of 376.1. Lebanon, Farmington, and Edward Little of Auburn took the first three places in the meet with Gould finishing in sixth posi- tion. The following week Gould had its an- nual Winter Carnival with individual en- tries from Maine and New Hampshire competing for top honors in slalom and jumping, the only two events held. Lam- son of Gould, Robes of Hanover, and Small of Edward Little took the first three places in slalom. In the jumping, Ras- mussen of Berlin, Burnham and Corkum of Gould finished in that order. Prospects for next year look fairly good with Ed Burnham, Verne Corkum, and Bob Edney being the only graduates. Under the fine coaching of Paul Kailey and with considerable help from captain- elect Alan Lamson. we sincerely hope they have a successful year.

Baseball As March came around the corner, baseball practice started in the Field House. The coaches, Mr. Bowhay and Mr. Kailey, had all but one squad member back from the 1953 team. Having much experience, the team went on to win twelve out of thirteen contests. Hurling artist Herbie Adams was sidelined for most of the sea- son as a result of an injury. On April 30, the Gould squad traveled to Norway to play their first game. On this very cold baseball day, Herbie Adams pitched a two-hit shutout for Gould, who scored thirteen times. Eddie Burnham got three singles in five trips to the plate for Gould. Adams, the winning pitcher, struck out ten men and walked three in the seven inning contest. Gould made it two victories in a row as the Huskies triumphed over St. Pat’s of Berlin at Bethel on May 5. Curtney Mead pitched the first five innings but was re- lieved by Merle White in the sixth inning. Howard Rolfe pitched the last three in- nings. Donaldson went all the way for the losers. Phil Corey slammed a home run. and Eddie Burnham hit a triple and a single to lead the Huskies. Gould's next rival was South Paris at South Paris on May 8. Gould took this game 6 to 2, winning their third game in a row. Skip Melville hit three singles and was walked twice. Lefty Howard Rolfe pitched the whole game for Gould, striking out nine while walking only three. He allowed only three base hits. Gould next traveled to Bridgton where the team played their first tournament game on May 13. They again won, this time by a 6 to 2 margin. The tourna- ment games are played to decide the Ox- THE ACADEMY HERALD 83 ford County champions. Melville and Rolfe both pitched for Gould. Melville pitched well in the last six innings, al- lowing no hits and striking out five. Next, Gould met Norway High School at Bethel on May 15. Gould won this game 17 to 1. Rolfe, the winning pitcher, struck out ten men, walked five, and gave up six scattered hits. Phil Rowe hit a home run and a single to lead Gould at the plate. Even without the services of two of its regulars, Herbie Adams and Peter St. Law- rence. Gould kept on its winning ways by trouncing Mexico 22 to 1 on May 17 at Bethel. Curtney Mead pitched hitless ball for five innings and was replaced in the sixth inning by Merle White. In the second tournament play-off game, the Huskies traveled to Dixfield on May 18. This tournament victory put Gould in a tie for first place in the tourn- ament race with South Paris. The score was 6 to 2. Curtney Mead and Skip Mel- ville pitched for Gould. Phil Corey hit three singles to lead Gould’s attack. Gould's next outing was a home game with Fryeburg on May 25. Howard Rolfe pitched all the way for Gould. John Chase had a perfect day at the plate as he hit six singles in six times up. Rolfe struck out fifteen and issued three walks. Playing their third game in eight days. Gould lost its first game of the season in a tournament outing against South Paris at Bethel on May 26. This loss gave Paris the championship. This thrilling contest ended 7 to 4. Martin pitched well for South Paris, going all the way. Curt- ney Mead, Merle White, and Skip Melville all pitched for Gould. With an impressive 9 and 1 record. Gould journeyed to Mexico on May 29. The game was called after five innings with Gould winning 7 to 4. Phil Rowe slammed two triples and two singles for Gould; Rolfe and White both pitched and gave up nine scattered hits. Gould next played Fryeburg at Frye- burg on June 1 and won again 8 to 1. Mead pitched very well for Gould, giving up only five hits and striking out nine men. Gould's final game of the season was with the alumni on June 1 2. The team again won, this time 7 to 2, making their record twelve victories against only one defeat. Curtney Mead pitched for Gould and Clint Mason returned once more to pitch for the alumni. Other alumni re- turning were Dick Marshall, who was catcher, Albert Smith, Ronnie Kendall, Paul Bartlett, Bob Croteau, Bob Patter- son, Scott Guerney, Francis Berry, Ed Dorian, and John Blackadar. Gould can surely be proud of this fine ball club in years to come. Lettermen not returning are Captain Dick Budge, Gene White, Skip Melville, Phil Corey, Paul Fossett, and Curt Mead. Next year’s Captain is Howard Rolfe. We all wish him the best of luck. Ronnie Willard, ’57 84 THE ACADEMY HERALD TRACK Front row.

Third row: Carter Taylor: Robert Edney: Arthur Mills: Norman Hill: Jimmy Murphy: Fred Fanning: Kenneth Rafuse. Track Through the excellent coaching of coaches Joe Roderick and Robert Scott. Gould's track team compiled a good season of wins. They competed against two schools in two dual meets that placed two strong victories under their belts. After these two skilled performances, tragedy struck as Gould was set back into second place in the Bates Relays: however the fleet-footed cindermen bounced back with decisive victories in the Oxford County Track Meet and the State Meet. The first dual track meet was held on Saturday, May 1, against Rumford's Stephens High School. Captain Skip Pet- tapiece and Dick Trimback led the Hus- kies to a winning score of 65-51. Petta- piece excelled in the field events with two firsts and a second in the shot. Trimback get three firsts that helped the Huskies’ score. Others of the Gould squad who added to the total were Roily Blood, Bob Lingham. Robert Edney, and Wendell Bragg. The following Wednesday, the Huskies took another win by defeating Farming- ton 80-37. The weather was very wet so the field events were held inside the field house: however the track was in good shape, allowing the running events to be held outside. Trimback set a record in the 100 yard dash of 10.6 seconds plus a first in the 220 yard dash. Pettapiece copped firsts in all of the field events ex- cept the shot. Gould took all three places in both the 1 20 yard high hurdles and the mile. The Huskies also took the first two places in the discus, 440 yard run, and the THE ACADEMY HERALD 85 1 20 yard low hurdles. On May 15, the Gould Huskies journeyed to Lewiston to compete in the tenth annual Bates Relays against six other schools in defense of their 1953 title. The Huskies were under a slight handicap as they were missing three men: Alan Chase. Wendell Bragg, and Bob Lingham. At 9 a.m. the field events got under- way, but immediately Wells High took the lead, capturing all firsts except that in the javelin, which was taken by Gould's Skip Pettapiece. With only 9H points as a score, the Huskies fired back in the after- noon relays. Gould took firsts in two races: the medley with Trimback. Blood, Murphy, and Adriance: the 440 with Merrill, Edney, Adriance, and Trimback. The Huskies scared up a total for the day of 39 H points and second place, while Wells took first place with 60 points. Other schools who placed were Winslow 18H, Wilton 10)4, Jay 6, and Farming- ton 5. The next Saturday afternoon the Hus- kies were on hand at the Fryeburg Fair Grounds with fire in their eyes. Trim- back led the pack with firsts in the 100 and 220 yard dashes: he also tied for first with Jones of Fryeburg in the 180 low hurdles plus a second in the broad jump. Captain Pettapiece got firsts in the shot and javelin plus a second in the discus, starting the Huskies toward the sought after win. Ronald Snyder. Roily Blood, and Bob Lingham put the finishing touches on the score to give Gould the vic- tory with 55.7 points. Second was Rum- ford with 44 points, followed by Frye- burg with 37.2 points, and Mexico with 6 points. On Saturday, June 5, the Huskies made an early start to take part in a contest that meant a great deal to them. The contest was the State Meet held at Colby College in Waterville. Maine. Trimback was once again outstanding for the Huskies with firsts in the 100 yard dash, the 220 yard dash, and the broad jump. Captain Pettapiece did a very commendable job in capturing first place in the javelin. Roily Blood zoomed to first place in the 880 yard run. and Jim Murphy made a spark- ling finish in the 440 yard race copping first there. Other Huskies, by placing for Gould in the meet, gained points that sometimes determine whether a team is to win or lose. They were Bob Lingham, Wendell Bragg. Wesley Young, and Sam Adriance. Gould came out on top once again by winning the State Meet with a score of 42 points for the third time since 1951, thus retiring the long contested for trophy. The surprise of the day wasn’t Skowhegan. who already had two legs on the cup, but Presque Isle, who got second with 30 points. Following the State Meet, there is, of course, the New England Meet, and this year of ’54 saw four representatives of Gould at the tournament. The fortunate and deserving boys who got this privilege were Jimmy Murphy, Roily Blood, Skip Pettapiece, and Dick Trimback. Here the boys were up against some really stiff com- petition, but Pettapiece did get a fourth place in the javelin and Trimback qualified to run in the finals of the 100 yard dash. The team elected for its captain for the year of 1955, Dick Trimback, who showed outstanding ability in the past year. Wendell Bragg, '55 ATHLETIC COUNCIL Front row.

Girls’ Physical Education “All right girls, fall in! If you were to visit a gym class, you would hear Miss Arndt start the period off with these words which we all seem to obey. The reason most of us look forward to our gym period is because of the variety of sports offered both in class and after school. In the fall there is hockey or tennis: archery is often practiced: also you would see girls going on hikes in preparation for the Mt. Washington climb, which came on October 9. After this season comes volley- ball and bowling. The three top bowlers were Polly King. Margy Rolfe and Cleta Waldron. After Christmas there is skiing, ping- pong and basketball, the skiing being taught by Mr. Richardson and Mr. Myers, whom we want to thank for their pa- tience. In the spring there is badminton, softball, and tennis. All of these sports are made possible by the Girls’ Athletic Association which is a group made up of class representatives, officers, and managers of the different sports who try to promote interest in sports and put a large emphasis on sportsman- ship. The officers for 1954 and 1955 are President, Jane Smith: Vice-President. Dianne Watson: Secretary and Treasurer, Ann Hastings. In 1954 near graduation the officers, new members, and letter winners were eligible to attend a hike and party. This last year it was held at Ann Hastings’ camp at Umbagog Lake. You can see by persistently going back every year that the 90 THE ACADEMY HERALD girls have a marvelous time, even though the bugs are rather plentiful. Points may be earned by everyone. One can get five points by participating in a sport, with two points added if she is chosen for the class team, and then three points for the Blue and Gold team. There are some sports, however, that limit the number of points one may get. Ski- ing is a ten point sport this year with two classes a week with two hours of practice. Fifty points entitles a girl to her class num- erals, eighty points to a “Gone hundred points makes her eligible for an athletic plaque. We want to thank all who have made it possible to have these opportunities and express our appreciation for the fine in- struction and equipment which Gould offers.

THE ACADEMY HERALD 91 Boys’ Physical Education As usual, the boys in the upper classes have done most of the heavy work dur- ing the daily physical education classes, while the lower classmen have it easier with correctives on alternate days. The lower classmen face a hard schedule be- cause their work program has been care- fully planned so as not to discourage or strain them too much, but to develop and build them into healthy specimens. Under Joe Roderick's guiding eye, a great deal is accomplished in the course of a year. Students receive healthful exer- cise and a lot of individual attention. In the spring and fall, strength tests are given to students so that their progress each year is determined. Some of the tests are grip strength, back lift, pull ups, push ups, along with a recording of height and weight. Posture pictures are also taken and if some physical defect is found, the student takes special exercises or correctives. During the fall and spring, touch foot- ball. soccer, and softball are played out- doors. As soon as it gets cold, the boys move into one of the many indoor courts of the field house to play volleyball, hand- ball, etc. When the basketball court is set up, “Joe teaches the boys the funda- mentals of basketball. He also introduces them to the simple holds and tactics of boxing and wrestling. Gym is not all work and no play. After you run your respective number of “laps around the indoor track, you do calis- thenics. Completing your workout, you enjoy the way Joe juggles your daily routine. Every student is bound to find something that he likes to do whether it is wrestling, tumbling, boxing, or on the trampoline. There is never a dull moment in gym, thanks to Joe” Roderick. Curt Mead. ’55 CHAMPION BOWLERS Left to right: Cleta Waldron: Margaret Rolfc: Pauline King. 92 THE ACADEMY HERALD Alumni It is of interest to all of us to learn the location of our last year's schoolmates.
