Now the past comes up before us And the vision now we see Of the many different antics We went through so willfully First of all is our reception And I now recall it well How a bunch of timid Freshmen Were trying hard their fears to quell. But we managed to endure this, And the next of us you see Is that we are full fledged Sophomores Trying very faithfully I am sure that you will realize What our first job then would be We were forced to lick the freshmen And we did it cheerfully. Many were the different things We did when Juniors bright Such as choosing of our Class Ring And the colors gold and white Next of all comes Junior Prize Speaking And we all did have a share For you know that in the preliminaries Everyone has a part to bear. This in brief has been our record Up until our Senior Year And these things have been the ones That have roused our hopes and fears But do not think that after this We were forced to sit and rest For numbered in our record Of athletes we have the best. Now tonight we stand before you High School days for us are done But we think in life's great school room We have only just begun. For the world is what we make it VVe each have a part to bear In its toils and in its struggles Each of us may have a share. Many are our great ambitions And the path seems very light As we look at our class motto And our colors gold and white 'Tho the path be steep and rugged VVe will try the goal to win And on dear old G. H. S. Never a reproach to bring. Now dear friends we're passing onward Leaving much that we hold dear Far behindg yet we look forward To a future bright and clear Closer in our hearts we cherish In our memories keep alive Sweetest thoughts that ne'er will perish Of the class of '25. Now at last we're here together And 'tis time to say good-bye May we always remember As the years go iieeting by Our victories and studies In our dear old Guilford High. H. E. C. 5 ,nw A, THE ROSTRUM 5 EDITORIALS Good Sportsmanship In a very short time the class of 1925 will be launched out into the world just like other folks. Then will come that queer lost feeling until We get adjusted to our new position. But is the class of 1925 about to sink into oblivion among all the other peo- ple of the universe? No, let us be dif- ferent. When we enter some office, as many of us will soon, let us not do as anyone could, merely the requirement for the day, but just a little more than is de- manded, for it is surely Worth while. If we go to another school or college let us hold to our highest ideals. And so through life may we lead and not be led, except by the best motives, going the extra mile in the home or school or common work-day life. May the class of Guilford High School 1925 be su- perior! Our Present Quarters The fire, which destroyed our high school building, has somewhat handi- capped and delayed the school in practi- cally all of its activities. The townspeople of Guilford, and the school board were quick to respond to the needs, and books were ordered at once, and arrangements were made for keeping school in the Town hall. Be- cause of the co-operation of those con- cerned, school opened only a week later than usual. The present quarters in the Town hall are, of course, inconvenient, but they afford good training and bring out the true qualities of the pupils, for in addition to being taught academic sub- jects, they are taught to make the best of things, and to co-operate with the teachers in order to bring about the best results. Freshman Reception was held early in September under the direction of a Senior Committee. Dancing and games were in order, and refreshments of punch and fancy cookies were served. The hall was decorated with school ban- ners and appropriate green balloons. The play, Come Out of the Kitchen, given by the Senior -Class, which was put on at the Town hall, May 15th, was a rousing success, financially and other- wise.

This banquet is held each year for the purpose of raising money for the school. At the banquet the letter men of the past year were presented with their letters. After the letters were presented, there were some very fine talks on the new school house which is to be built, and some new ideas were presented. Mrs. Helen Williams gave a very fit- ting talk on what the letters meant to the boys. Mr. March of Dover spoke on the ways that athletics should be carried on in the schools- Mrs. Free- man of Sangerville and Mr. Ross, also gave fitting talks on the school library, and the Junior High School plan that may be introduced in the school. After all this Alston Welts, Captain of the last year's basketball team, gave a short speech on the help that was given by Mr. Robert Prey in Basketball, and Mr. Earl Palmer in Foot-ball. These two men have for the last three years furnished the High School with some of the best coaching that the school has ever had. Each coach was presented with a fountain pen from the boys to show that they appreciated the help which they gave so willingly. .l, wx ff! tl!

Grace McKusick '26, ,..i...i.li- Maine-A History y Giovanne da Verrazano sailed down the coast of what is now Maine in 1524. Later, in 1906, Maine fell into the hands of the Plymouth Company by James I. The following year an English Expedi- tion sent out by Sir John Popham and Sir Ferninando Gorges started a settle- ment at Sabino Point on the Kennebec River. In 1608 this settlement was abandoned. The same year French Jesuits landed on Mount Desert and were later joined by fishermen. Cap- tain Argall broke up this settlement. In 1622 Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain John Mason received a grant of land in Maine between the Merrimac and Kennebec Rivers extending sixty miles inland. They divided this land and Sir Ferdinando Gorges took pos- session of the Piscataqua River basin. The first permanent settlement in Maine was made at Pemaquid in 1625- 1626. York was founded about the same time- In 1630 Saco, Biddeford, Port Elizabeth, Portland and Scarbor- ough sprang up in succession. During a civil war in England, Massa- chusetts got possession of Maine. The District of Maine, as it was then called, suffered greatly by Indian attacks and also by the French. In the Revolution- ary War the people took active part, but during the War of 1812 the people were left almost entirely undefended, and the English soldiers occupied the territory east of the Penobscot River. ' 4 8 THE ROSTRUM Early in the nineteenth century the people in Maine tried to get their inde- pendence and enter the union as a state. Undoubtedly they would have had a hard struggle if the important question of the entering of Missouri to the Union had not then been in discussion. Then by the Missouri Compromise, Maine, March 15, 1820, was admitted into the Union as a free state and Missouri as a slave state making twenty-four states in the Union. Since we have discussed the history of Maine briefly, let's give a brief out- line of its location, size, industries and its wealth as a state. Maine is included in the North At- lantic States, is the largest state of the New England group, and is situated in the most north-easterly part of the United States. It is bounded on the north by the Canadian province of Que- be, on the north-east by New Bruns- wick, on the west by New Hampshire and south by the Atlantic Ocean. Its most extreme length is only three hun- dred miles and its extreme width one hundred eighty-five. The area of Maine is 23,040 square miles of which 29,895 square miles are land. Its area is almost equal to the remainder of the New Eng- land States combined. Maine is a very hilly state, having mountains in the northern and Western parts. Its largest mountain is Mount Katahdin, which is 5200 feet high. The sea shore is very irregular causing many excellent natural harbors, but un- luckily it sufers from the serious dis- advantages of the great rise of the tide and resulting swift current. But even with this handicap it has the greatest number of good harbors found along the coast of the United States. Maine is very fortunate in having many beautiful lakes and ponds. The largest of these is Moosehead Lake, which is one hundred and twenty square miles in area. This is also the largest lake in the New England States. The other lakes worth considering are Rangeley Lakes, Chamberlin Lakes and Chesuncook Lake. Maine is also very rich in rivers. The most important of these are Saco, An- droscoggin, Kennebec, Penobscot and Saint Croix. None of these are navi- gable for a great distance. The Kenne- bec is navigable for twenty-six miles up to Augusta, and the Penobscot for twenty-seven miles to Bangor, but the others only for a very, very short dis- tance. The power available from these rivers is estimated as 2,000,000 horse power. This is utilized especially by the falls which characterize the rivers. Maine lies in the north temperate zone and has a delightful climate. The southern part has six months of grow- ing season and the northern part five. The average rainfall throughout the state annually is forty inches. The cli- mate and the beautiful lakes, forests and mountains of Maine attract many tourists who spend their vacations and summers here. The most important summer resort is Bar Harbor. Maine is second in the United states in granite production. In 1889 the granite production was estimated at 81,321,182 in value. Also Maine is the leading source of feldspar and silica used in the manufacture of earthern- ware, glass, etc. There are also import- ant mines of marble, limestone and slate. Maine is ranked as the fourth state in the Union for the latter. Small mines of copper, silver, iron and tin are also found. THE ROSTRUM 9 Seventy-nine per-cent of the total area of Maine is in woodland. Very much spruce is found in the Andros- coggin River basin and in 1899 there was estimated 21,239,000,000 feet of standing spruce in Maine. Large pulp mills are found on the Androscoggin, Kennebec and Penobscot rivers. Also much pine is found in Maine causing her to be called The Pine Tree State. Farming, fishing, lumbering and manufacturing are the main occupa- tions of Maine. The most important fish caught are lobsters, clams and sal- mon. Large fisheries are found through- out the state. Woolen and cotton goods are the leading manufacturers with Lewiston as the manufacturing center. The largest cities of Maine are Port- land, Lewiston, Bangor, Biddeford and Augusta. Augusta is the capitol and Portland the largest city. The govern- ment of Maine is the same as found in all states, the leading factors being the legislature and the executive and judi- ciary departments. The schools of Maine are showing a marked improvement in late years, free public schools prevail throughout ,the state. The leading Normal Schools are situated in Farmington, Castine and Gorham. The higher educational schools are The University of Maine at Orono, Bowdoin College at Brunswick, Bates College at Lewiston and Colby College at Waterville. As a whole Maine is one of the most desirable states in the United States of America- Its climate is healthful, it abounds in wealth, in rivers, lakes, mountains, forests and minerals. Its sea shore is one of the the most beauti- ful in the world and it is the summer home of tourists and hunters from all parts of the United States I do not wonder that the people of Maine are proud of their state. They could not express their appreciation of her better than in the following song: Way up in Maine, tell out the strain With loyal hearts elate, Ye youths of worth of Pine Tree birth Tell out your noble state. Her wide expanse, her woodland dense Her azure lakes galore, Tell out the thousand isles that fringe Her tidal shore. Way up in Maine is home to me, Dear old hills and vales and foaming sea, Near and far let this refrain Ever be her sign and song, Way up in Maine. Aldine B. Welts '25. Our G. H. S. 1892-1925 To the Townspeople of Guilford In our fair town of Guilford, In the year of '92 There was started a school house, Which was dedicated to you. The foundation was laid of brick Which stood through thick and thin, And chimneys high were stacked, Which had to be blown in. That which was done, was done well For that early year, And the pride of Guilford rang To all from far and near. For the pupils that gathered therein The building was becoming too small, And sooner or later the time would come When people must heed its call. On April 4th in '25 A red glow lit the darkened sky, And the news that went through all the town Was surely a stunner all around. And as the next m01'ning dawned A sad spectacle was eyed, For the fire carried before it That which was Guilford's pride. 10 THE ROSTRUM The origin of the fire is still unknown Even to the present day But sometime, may God decree The secret will give way. And so we lost our building In that tragic way so true, But we hope that to us may be given A far better structure so new. R. Dunphy '28, Number Please That was surely a nice girl, said Dirk to Bill as they came home from the dance, one nice, pretty, young lady. Who was the girl who was dressed in blue silk and who danced like a fluff in the wind ? She gave me her name and address, replied Dirk, Her name is Miss Adams. I have forgotten her address, but her telephone number is 4352 Sure of it are you ? questioned Bill in a tantalizing tone. Of course, I never have to write down anything as easy as 4325. I am going to call her up tomorrow and invite her out to dinner. You have such a fine memory that you ought to be a professor in a memory school for habitual forgettersf' retorted Bill. What is the number-5432 or did you say 4325 ? Dirk got home earlier than usual the next afternoon and thought he would call up Miss Adams before his chum ar- rived: as he knew Bill would be sure to make fun of him if he happened to get the wrong number. He called Central and asked for 3542. Hello, is Miss Adams there? Hold the line a minute please, re- torted a rather gruff voice, No, her time expired to day. Time expired? What do you mean? What number is this? asked Dirk awe- stricken. This is 3542-County jail. A bit upset Dirk hung up the receiver and in a minute called Central again. Hello, I'm trying to get a young lady by the name of Adams. I cannot exact- ly remember the number, but it is either 5432, 4352 or 3542. I know the last number is 2- A Her name was Adams? What was her first name? came back central's voice. I don't exactly remember, but if you will help find the young lady, I'll get you a tive-pound box of chocolates. A minute later Dirk heard Central click and the following conversation reached his ears: Hello, is Miss Adams there? Yessah, yessah, what can I do for you sah ? Central snickered, and Dirk grinned and remarked that he guessed that was also the wrong number and he hung up. Not much luck so far, he murmur- ed, but I'll try 2345. The number was given and a woman's voice answer- ed. Is Miss Adams there? This is Miss Adams. What can I do for you ? the voice went on. Are you the person I met at the dance last--? No, I'm not! ! Young man, or old man, I haven't been to a dance in all my life. If this is a joke, it is an im- pudent one! Madam, I beg your pardon. The joke is on me. Dirk tried 4523, but this only proved to be an oyster house down on the docks and no Miss Adams worked there. Cen- THE ROSTRUM 11 tral's voice assured Dirk that as there was only one other possible combina- tion, he would doubtless get her in a very few moments: Hello, is there a Miss Adams there ? Describe her please. Brown hair, dark eyes. She were a blue dress the last time-- Hold the line please.-No, I have looked all through the slabs and er- Say, what is this-a morgue? asked Dirk in surprise. Yesser, Yesserf' By this time Central was almost in hysterics, and Dirk knew he could not blame her. Say, Central, I'll make that box of chocolates a ten pound one. Please give me your name and address. My name is M. Adams, and my tele- phone number at home is 4352.9 Dirk gasped. You are the girl I or- My hair is brown and my eyes brown. The next time you want to call me make a note of the number-4352. It is so easy to forget. You rascal! You knew all the time! Why didn't you tell me? What time do you quit? 5:15 came the answer. Will you take dinner with me ? Yes, I guess I can manage. This ofhce is 1213 Washington Street. Don't forget the number-Better write it down. Dirk wrote down the number with a shaking hand, and at 5:15 sharp he was at the ofiice door at 1213 Washing- ton Street, and gave a loud but excited rap. Vera Applebee '28. The Discarded Flivver Under the spreading apple tree, An ancient flivver stands, It bears the date 1903. It has been cranked by many hands, And thc wheels,f--of which there are only three, Are minus their rubber bands. The hood is gone, the windshield smashed, The belt is off the fan, And the lights on either side the dash, Each rcscmhie a tomato can. They look the whole world in the face But they serve not any man. - Week in week out, from morn till night, You can see it sitting so, This car that once was a beautiful sight, Long since refused to go, In the past it would go with all its might, But that was rather slow. The children going home from school, Look in where there is no door, They shiver to think how airy and cool, It was to ride in the days of yore When cars had no top and the general rule, Was to have the back seat two feet from the fioor. It went on Sunday to the church, And carried the farn1er's boys, And after the service carried them home. In spite of all the noise, All the family would assure Old Dad, He couldn't have made a better choice. It's way ahead of the old carry-all The old man said in surprise, As he needs must think ,of it once more, How on a junk pile it lies, And with a hard rough hand he wipes, The mud out of his eyes. Boiling-roaring--rattling, Along the road it would crawl, Each year they would fix it up Then store it away in the fall It would take them there and back again, If they had plenty of gas,--and that's all. -l' l l P L, 12 THE ROSTRUM Thanks, thanks, to thee, my worthy friend, For the service thou hast rendered, Since by the power of Henry's brain You evolved, was patched and mended. You'll ne'er glide over the road again, For your useful days are ended. Garnett Gourley '27. -l-.li The Indians of Early Maine The Indians of Maine were of ordi- nary stature, very erect, and of great muscular strength. Their hair was long and coarse. Their complexions were rather peculiar, with a reddish tint, which, at a glance, enabled one to dis- tinguish them from the negro, or the most dark-skinned European. The men were beardless, but, strange to say, the reason for this is unknown, and there are many different opinions regarding it. Smith says that they had no beards, others have said that the young men plucked out their beards, until the roots were destroyed. Still others say that the Indians anointed their bodies with a lotion, which protected them from flies, and prevented the growth of a beard. Both men and women were fond of gay colors in their clothing. Their dress consisted of furs in winter, and in summer of skins from which the fur had been removed. They were all fond of ornaments, and decorated their per- sons with gorgeously colored plumes. shells, beads and wings. Among themselves, the Indians were remarkably honest. In trade they were fair, and after witnessing some of the mean tricks which the white people did, they often expressed astonishment. They were very grave and seemed never to forget a kindness or an injury, al- ways being ready to share their last bit of food with a stranger who enter- ed the Wigwam. The Indians could drink the strongest rum, unmixed, until roused to a dread- ful degree of frenzy, they appeared more like demons than men, and were capable of most any crime. They generally lived in small villages. The huts, built of boughs of trees and of bark, were always in the forest. The floors were always carpeted with the green twigs of hemlock. The walls served as a protection against wind and rain. In the center of the hut a bright fire burned, the smoke rising through a small hole in the roof, leaving the atmosphere within quite pure. The men would be lying around sleeping while the women were busy- They sat upon the floor, braiding their baskets, and chatting in low, musical tones, rarely smiling. Furniture, like we have, was never seen in a hut. There were neither chairs, stools, nor tables. They had no regular meals, but ate when hungry. One great defect of the Indians was the want of cleanliness. They never were seen washing their faces or hands, or their clothing and cooking utensils. But the interior of their cabins always ap- peared neat. Christianity was first taught the Indians by a Catholic mis- sionary from France. As early as 1608 two missionaries commenced their la- bors at Mt. Desert. In 1646 a chapel was built at Old Point, Norridgewock. The Indians really had no religious opinions. They were vaguely allowing their minds to fleet through the hunt- ing grounds, and beyond the grave. Their government was of a very simple form. Each tribe had a chief, and subordinate chiefs. The chiefs THE ROSTRUM 13 were chosen by the men of the tribe, and the office lasted for life. For aboutfifty years the planters and traders of Maine carried on their inter- course with the Indians without any open out-break- As England got more control in the colonies, the Indians were treated worse, and therefore formed two parties, the friendly and the un- friendly, this resulted in King Philips war in 1675. As time advanced, more and more land was taken from the Indians, until they are hardly ever seen now. The few that are left have lost all resemb- lance, in character and habits of life, to their ancestors of two centuries ago. Otelia Rogers '25. ..l.. . Freshman Studies The Freshman class find History The worst possible mystery, For there is war with this king And what it did bring. Some person was murdered, some other was dead, And in all it's enough to turn a saint's head. But in Mathematics we find comfort and rest For of all the studies that is surely the best. We must make Z equal X and Y equal O And never, never answer a question with uno. The English with its verb, article and noun Is being taught to all the town. An essay here and an exam there, Oh, English is all through the air! The General Science tells of sun, moon and stars, Automobiles, aeroplanes and trolley cars, Of all things old, and all things new, For all things in this book are true. There's Manual Training for the boys to take While the girls are learning to bake a cake, And sew a seam, and sweep the door, All these things and many more. These are the studies of the freshman class If successful in all, you are sure to pass. Pearl Ward '28. Making Good With the Giants For the last six weeks the two lead- ing teams in the National League had been fighting for the lead in the Penant Race. These two teams were the Chica- go Cubs and the New York Giants. As luck or fate would have it, these two teams were to play the last series of the year in New York. If Chicago won, it would be necessary only to break even in the series, but in order for the Giants to win, they would have to win three out of the four games. There were many who thought that the Giants didnit have a chance, but others thought that they might win because of the fighting spirit they had that year. On the New York bench, 'a young man, Jack Blake by name, was at the start of the first game. He was not more than twenty or twenty-one years old. He had been taken from one of the leading colleges and put right in the big league, but so far that year, he had only played in one or two games. The Giants took the first game of the series-2 to 1, in a thrilling 12-inning game. The second game was an entire- ly different affair. The game was a slugfest, each team using five pitchers- In the end, the Cubs won by a score of 12 to 10. The game started, using the same line-up as in the lirst game, except for the pitchers. The line-up did not stay thus long however, because' in the fourth inning, the star second-baseman severely sprained his ankle when slid- ing to third. Thus it was that the young man, who had patiently sat on thebench all the year, got his chance in one of the most crucial games of the year. Needless to say, he was as ner- vous as anyone, not having played be- ' --1' ' I4 THE ROSTRUM fore that year, would have been. The Giants won that game, 4 to 2, by play- ing heads up baseball all the way. The next game would not only de- cide which team should win the Na- tional League Penant, but would decide also which team should play the Ameri- can League Champs, the Detriot Tigers. The stands were packed, the field had been roped off, and still there were thousanfls outside who could not get in. When the two teams came on the field for that last game, they were both given ear-splitting cheers and, after each had taken a snappy practice, the game was on. One, two, three, four, five innings, and no one had scored. The great crowd was almost breathless, and a hush had fallen over it. In the sixth inning, the break came, in the Giant's half of the inning. Two men were out and no one on bases, and young Blake at the bat. On the second ball pitched, he swung hard, hit the ball fairly, and circled the bases for a home run and the next man fanned. The score was Giants 1, Cubs 0. The seventh and eighth innings pas- sed and the score remained unchanged. In the first of the ninth, the Giants were retired in one, two, three order, and the Cubs came in with a do or die expression written on their faces- The first two men up, both singled and it began to look bad for the Giants. The next man up made a bunt, and although he was retired, he moved the runners to second and third bases. Only one out and a good man at the bat. With the count, three balls and one strike, the batter caught one on the end of his bat, and hit a line drive between second and third. Both runners started instantly. Young Blake was playing in exactly the right place, and, leaping high in the air, caught the ball and threw to second base to complete the double-play. So it was that a young man just out of college, won a National League Penant for the New York Giants almost single- handed. Dwight Adams '28. ----..l1.i. Modern Times One evening not long ago as I was comfortably reclining in an armchair trying to get some sense out of an ex- ceedingly dry and uninteresting volume by Nathaniel Hawthorne called The House of Seven Gables, I suddenly felt myself being lifted by some unseen power and carried thru the air at a ter- rific speed. I looked around and found a friend of mine by the name of Ken- neth Neal close beside me. We travelled some time and finally came in sight of the Golden Gate. We had to put on smoked goggles because of the brilliancy of the structure. As we passed thru, St. Peter emerged from a thicket and blew a blast on his saxo- phone. We asked him what he wanted and he said, Where's you're pass- port ? Kenneth dug out his last year's English report card and he told us we might enter so we went in and made ourselves at home- As we strolled along faint strains of music came to our ears. We entered the next room and discovered it to be Julius Caesar trying out his new radio set. Over in the corner sat a stern look- ing chap whom our guide said was Sir Walter Scott, but we wouldn't know him since he began devoting so much time to reading Whizz Bang. Not far from him was a fellow whom we recog- THE ROSTRUM 15 nized as Aristotle, laboring over a cross- word puzzle in the last copy of the Ban- gor Commercial. I heard a terrible racket and looked out just in time to see Napoleon Bonaparte go by in his flivver. In close pursuit was Alexander the Great on a motorcycle. Evidently the speed cop's troubles are not over when he gets through down here. We had a rather long interview with Mark Antony who was having some domestic troubles and then our guide said he wanted to show us the largest room in Heaven. He led us along a narrow passage until we came to a magnificent stairway. As we ascended the stairs we could hear the sound of jazz music. The guide said that they were having a grand ball in honor of Joan of Arc's birthday. Among the many famous couples present, were Bill Shakespeare and the Queen of She- ba. It is needless to say that King Solomon, who, rather by necessity than choice, was dancing with Mary, Queen of Scots, sent many envious glances in the direction of aforesaid Bill Shake- speare. I also recognized George Wash- ington and Queen Elizabeth tripping the light fantastic to-gether. At intermis- sion refreshments were served. The waiter that brought in the drinks said he had some real stuff right from the Kentucky Mountains. He said that in a recent raid his lead gave out before that of the prohibition officer and he didn't have time to remove the bottle from his hip pocket. As we looked across the hall we saw Neal Dow coming and the fellow hastily drained the bottle and threw it out of the window- We heard a scream and looked out to dis- cover that the bottle had struck on the head of John the Baptist, who was try- ing to snatch a short nap in the garden. During the intermission Ludwig Van Beethoven gave a few specialties on the piano and a young lady who reminded me very much of Dana Small, rendered an exhibition of petticoats and gestures. That evening we attended a movie as the guests of William Penn. The fea- ture picture was John Paul Jones in A Cuckoo's Nest in Iceland. The next morning as we were taking a walk before breakfast something whizzed past us and nearly knocked me down. As I regained my power of equilibrium I asked the guide what happened. He told me that it was Sam- uel Taylor Coleridge going by on a kick sled. Humph, just like Sam, exclaim- ed Kenneth. That gave us an idea so we hired a sled for a nickel an hour and started to enjoy ourselves. We ascended the hill and started down. I was on the-seat and Kenneth was steering. We were about half way down and going like a streak when-Bang! !-something hap- pened. We ilew off in opposite direc- tions and I collided with something hard. I opened my eyes to find myself sitting in the chair but my head was hanging over the side at a dangerous angle. It was 11.45 P. M. and Haw- thorne's House of Seven Gables was quietly reposing on the floor- I don't know how much I read but I'll pro- nounce that dream a real humdinger. Garnett W. Gourley '27. i--lT.... The High School Career Between the fall and the springtime When all are happy as can be, Comes many hard times for Juniors As well as the other three. 16 THE ROSTRUM We heard the teachers all ask us If we hadn't something to dog This was when we acted foolish As Freshmen are sure to do. During the time when we were Sophomores We were a little less shyg Never-the-less French bothered us And our ranks weren't quite as high. Now we are dignified Juniors Though we're not yet very wiseg And we are still sure to hear the teachers When they send their warning cries I think next year we'll do better As we'll have the very back rowg And I think we'll know as much As we will ever know. Hazel Welts '26, The Old Chest in the Attic In the attic of the Giblet house was an old hard-wood chest which had been sitting in the same position for a great many yearsg not because of the lack of curiosity but because it was safely guarded. The old Mrs. Giblet or intimately cal- led Gram was the very observant guard. Many times her daughter-iir law, Mrs. Giblet, had tried to persuade Gram to open the chest but all to no avail, for Gram was very persistent. Mrs. Giblet might look into the chest and discover its contents herself, but for the fact that Gram had the key hidden in-Lord knows where. Mrs. Giblet fthe daughter-in-law of Graml had two girls, one eighteen and the other sixteen, who were just as an- xious to peep into the chest as their mother. They had asked their grand- mother many times to let them either see what was in there or at least tell them. Gram, who saw that she had the best of their curiosity, would calmly re- fuse and add with a sad look on her face that perhaps when she was out of the way, they could open it. This, however, did not satisfy them, so one day as they were talking about the contents of the old chest, Grace, the youngest, had declared that she thought the chest contained some pieces of jewelry or a will or some money-some- thing that was valuable any way or else Gram wouldn't be so afraid that some one would get it. But Grace, replied her sister, the chest is too large to hold just that, but there might be some old clothes or something with it. If it wasn't so heavy we might move it around and see if there was anything in it that rattled. Mal I wouldn't be surprised if there were something valuable there! - Well, I don't know, said their mother, . I have threatened for years, to your father, that I would look into it some way, if I had to saw the end off -to do it- But you know how he is-just like your grandmother, so foolish! I tell you what let's dog tonight after Gram has gone to bed, we will take a lantern and a chisel and saw, or what- ever we need, then we will pry the cover off and iind out. Dad will have a fit! Well, Dad won't be here, he is going to Lodge to-night, answered Mrs. Gib- let. We can take the hinges off and then lift the cover off, of course it will break the lock, but I think that is the easiest way. That evening the three started for the attic, Grace with the screwdriver, ready to do anything, and Mrs. Giblet with the lantern. They tiptoed up the stairs, for they were afraid that if THE ROSTRUM 17 Gram should hear them, she would get suspicious. They reached the attic, Mrs. Giblet had Grace hold the lantern while she dug away trying to start the screws which held the hinges on. They were so excited that they could not do any- thing, because they were planning on finding something valuable, for it had been said that Gram got a large insur- ance at the death of one of her sons, and they had never known of it being spent. At last Mrs. Giblet got the screws started, and then out. Grace sat the lantern down, and they all took hold of the cover and bent it back, causing the lock to break. Mrs. Giblet grabbed the lantern up and holding it over the box, they looked in and to their amazement and disgust the chest was empty, except for some- thing which looked like an old bouquet of wilted iiowers. Grace stooped over and picked the bunch up. It began to crackle and pieces dropped off from it, because it was so old. Around the stem was an old faded ribbon, holding a piece of paper- Grace brought the lantern and was able to make out these words, Dearest Eliza, farewell for aye, if we must part-I will never forget you, and hope you will never forget me, but fate must have its way--Will. Oh, Heck! is that what she has been guarding? Talk about young girls--- she is more foolish than anyone I know! growled Grace. There was a rustle behind them and Gram snatched her treasure from them as she said, All I've got ter say fur ye'se, is that thatis what yer git fur not minding yer own business. If you had waited I might have put something but that's what curiosity did. Let it valuable in there in place of this,---- be a lesson to yer. Alice Straw '27. A Student Lament With heavy heart and Visage sour, I hear the teacher cry, To-morrow we must have review. For examination day draws nigh! That night I study book on book, I burn the midnight oil, And with fierce words of anger, The clear, night air assails. Latin, English, Chemistry, So they pass, an endless string, Until I find I've mixed Aeneas With some old English king. Then with temper mounting higher I throw my books upon the fioor And, in a voice, hoarse with anger, Swear I'll study books no more. And then with visions of a zero Dancing wild before my eyes, I picked them slowly up again. With loud and angry cries. 'Tho I am not much of a poet, This I know and swear, That the night before reviews, Is more than I can bear. Reginald Eugene Butterfield '26. The Ghost of the Brook In the days when the white people were settling in this country and when neither whites nor Indians lived in peace, there was a small group of In- dians who made their homes by a small brook not far from the mouth of the Mississippi river. They stuck to the place worshipping it because they be- l 18 THE ROSTRUM lieved the Great Spirit intended for them to have the use of the fertile lands and the fine water of the brook. There was at the beginning of my story only one unmarried Indian girl and because of her kindness and good looks all the Indians believed her too good to be married. The girl for her part would not marry any of her own race because she was in love with a young white preacher who often visited her people. She did not understand the ways of the whites and therefore did not think her- self good enough for the preacher and looked upon him as a god which she should worship. Not far from the In- dian settlement were the camps of the white men, who had found gold near the tents of the Indians and were plan- ning to make war and drive the Indians out. Among these campers were sev- eral women, one of whom was a beauti- ful girl. The young girl was very much concerned about the Indians and hated to see her people make war on them, but all her pleading was in vain. Finally word was sent to the Indians to keep watch on a certain date. The day of the battle arrived and both Indians and whites were in readi- ness- The battle raged until about noon before it was possible to tell which side had the better show. At this time the Indians were joined by nearby friends who had come to their assist- ance. It was then a little in the Indians' favor. The white girl, although she had been told to remain at home, could no longer bear the suspense of waiting and therefore went to the scene of the battle. The yells and groans made her long for peace. Therefore she stepped out, threw up her hands, and command- ed both sides to come into the open. In the meantime the Indian girl was hiding in the bushes waiting for someone to appear. Her arrow was aimed into the open space, and she decided not to shoot until she was sure she would hit someone. As it happened the white girl was the first to appear within the range of her arrow. Immediately she let it fly, her aim was true and the white girl fell head long into the brook. By night the whites had been defeated and had returned to their camps. The Indians settled into their old ways and soon the battle was forgotten by all except one of the Indians, and this one could never forget it. The young Squaw, after she had shot the white girl, in some way sensed the rea- son of the white girl's appearance. She went often to the brook for water and like all the others, got it above the deep pool where the white girl had disappear- ed. She would then go to the deep dark pool and look into its black depths, wondering often why the girl's body had not come to the top. Of course the real reason was be- cause an Linder current held it down, but the Indian girl always thought it remained there to harm her. One day, when the Indian maiden went to the brook she was startled to see in the open space across the brook a tall figure dressed in white coming to the bank and it spoke to her, saying, I am merely a ghost of she who was killed here by your arrow. Undoubtedly you know who I am- I tried to prevent the war, I came with the offer to call peace. You shot me. I shall always trouble your people as long as they stay in the valley. The girl told her people about it and tried to persuade them to move away, THE ROSTRUM 19 but they would not leave the place. Finally the girl disappeared and her people became alarmed. They were en- tertaining serious thoughts of moving when they were visited by the young white preacher who inquired into it and when he found out what the trouble was, he told the Indians to remain where they were. He was much shocked to hear of the disappearance of the girl and really became worried about her. The next day after his arrival at the camps he set out in search of the In- dian girl. He neared the next camps, which were these of the white men. He was always welcome here and remained for the night. He was given a room in the loft in the part next to the stairway and separated from another room by a wall of rough logs. About mid-night he was awakened by a tapping and grinding noise on the logs of the wall of the next room. Finally a log was re- moved and then as the next log was be- ing loosened, the man at once jumped up and lighted the candle by his bed- side. He went to the hole in the wall and there he beheld the Indian girl working on the logs with an old razor blade. The young preacher went to work with his knife and soon a hole large enough to let the two into the same room was made, but it was not until then that the preacher asked the girl to explain what had taken place. The girl had gone to the brook after water and when she was ready to re- turn a figure appeared by her side and before she could realize what was tak- ing place she was bound and gagged and taken away. She had become un- conscious, and when she came to her- self again, she found herself in the room she had been in ever since. Several white men had come and told her she would be kept there until her people left the valley. They told her that they were the ghosts she had seen. The whites had been afraid to fight more with the Indians and tried to frighten them into leaving their homes so they could get the gold which they knew to be there. After much creeping and stealing around, the preacher succeeded in leav- ing the camp with the Indian girl. The two arrived at the Indian camps at about sunrise. They called forces to- gether, went to the white men's camps and drove them into a far off land. When they again returned the preacher and the Indian girl were united for life by the old Indian chief. The gold mines were worked and the group of Indians became wealthy as well as happy.

Much credit is due Coach Palmer, who worked hard, as only four veterans were left, and developed a team that played a fine brand of football. The season was a success financially, the team being especially well backed by fans. Summary of Games G. H. S. 0 Milo H. S. 54. G. H- S. 0 Hartland A. 25. G. H. S. 0 G. H. S. 0 Foxcroft A. 24. G. H.

BASEBALL Last season Guilford High School was represented by one of the best teams that the school has had in recent years- Guilford won seven out of twelve games played, and lost four games by one run. Last years men were: Moody, A. Welts, Pearson, Eastman, Garland, R. Adams, Coy, Stevens, Small, McSorley. 28 . THE ROSTRUM Won 75 Lost 5 Abbot H. S. 2. G. H. S. 11 Abbot H. S. 2. . G. H. S. 5 G. H.

This season's team which has won four out of five games up to this time has even a better chance to put Guilford High back on the baseball map. Guilford should have one of the best teams in the county this season. The boys are equipped with new suits, thanks to the kindness of the Guilford A. A., who presented 3100 to the High School to replace the equipment lost in the fire. This year's team is coached by Ar- chie Boutot, undoubtedly one of the best catchers in this part of the state, and the credit for the showing made is due to him. 1925 Baseball This season's record thus far.

Guil- ford did not find itself until too late to establish any record. Their victories over Foxcroft and Sangerville 1two of the best teams in the State1 and also a victory over the fast Bangor Y. M. C. A. Champion Ama- ture team made the fans realize that Guilford had developed one of the fast- est teams in the country. All the credit for the successful show- ing of the team is due to the work of Coach Prey, who with only two veterans to start the season, developed one of the fastest teams in years. At a banquet given by the Woman's Club, the members of the Football and Basketball teams received their letters. Those whotreceived letters for foot- ball were: E. Eastman 1Capt.1, U. Coy 1Mgr.1, E. Small, M. Stevens, R. Welts, H. Beers, T. Knowlton, N. Bell, R. Ward, R. Butterfield, M. Pearson, P. Smart, K. Evans and R. Adams. For basketball: A. Welts 1Capt.1, E. Small, R. Welts, E. Eastman, R. Butter- field, H. Curtis 1Mgr.1 The members of the teams got to- gether and purchased two handsome fountain pens for the coaches who generously gave their time to the teams.

W ' ,Al , lu The number of exchanges this year is very small. The papers that were received before the loss of our school building were destroyed in the fire and we have no list of those papers. We hope to have a larger exchange column next year. The papers were very interesting this year and we have enjoyed reading them. Comments and criticisms we find very helpful, as they point out the weak spots in each paper and they help give us new ideas. Several of the schools could not get their papers off the press until the first of June and they are going to send us papers at that time. We wish to make acknow- ledgements from the following schools, however: The Pharetra-Monson, Maine. You have a very interesting paper. The idea of putting in the individual pic- tures of the graduating class appeals to us. The Riverside--Winterport, Maine. You have a fine paper. The Chrysalis-Greenville, Maine. Your literary department is very good. We suggest an exchange column. The Quill-Gardiner, Maine. A pa- per worthy of praise. The Refiector-Brownville, Maine. You have an interesting paper from start to finish. Q.n1.l-flu--p-l1m -N114 -.. -.4 -. 1... -.nu-. u-ngquiu-gqw-ulrupz u--um-.au-Quuinlg-lgiuuq-u COMPLIMENTS OF Piscataquis Woolen Co.
