Guilford High School - Rostrum Yearbook (Guilford, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 36 of the 1930 volume:

1- N 1 44 GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING This issue of the R-ostrum is dedi- cated to the Business Men and Citi- zens of Guilford, whose support and good will the Rostrum and the Jun- ior-Senior High students greatly ap- preciate. The excellent building with its splendid equipment is the result of the sacrifices of Guilford forward-c looking citizens. In recognition of this support of the local business men and the sacrifices of the citizens of Guilford, we gratefully dedicate this issue of the Rostrum. ' GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL Here's to Guilford High School The school that we all love, To enter our dear schoolhouse We don't often need a shove. This is the one that is the best In country, town or state, Anyone who does her wrong May soon be shown the gate. Now let me tell' you of this school That each one loves so well, There are many, many things, Which of course I cannot tell. First I'll speak of the Seniors, The class that all should like 3 They really try to do their best, And work both day and night. Perhaps you think them lazy Or think they do not work 5 But neither class, nor duty Do the Seniors ever shirk. Now I'll tell of the Juniors, They're' a very jolly class, They are all so brilliant I'1n sure that they'1l,all pass. I did not mean that for -a slam Nor mean it for a joke, It's really what I think of them, So that is why I spoke. Next yow meet the Sophomores, They are a very fine bunchg That every one will get ahead I have a pretty good hunch. Perhaps you do not understand That I think theylre of the best, I 1 ,. If you doubt the truth in this Just put them to the test. Then you see the Freshmen, All young, happy and gay, They like to spend their time Having fun and out at play. But for all their laughter, And all their jokes and fun, r There never was a better class at In G. H. S., no, not one. Next there is the Eighth Grade, Of these I know not much, But guess they're all O. K. With them I'll get in touch. We should really know them better, These classes, large and smallg They make our G. H. S. a school That never has to stall. The lowest grade in G. H. S. Is the Seventh as you know, It is a very jolly class As lower classes go. But just because they're younger That is surely not a sign They'll not make G. H. S. prouder As they wander down the line. I'd like to tell you more, But that cannot be done, As this is plenty long enough You'll see, as poems run. This is a humble effort, A try to write in verse. And though this is not of the best, It could'be a whole lot worse. K. A. '30 1 1 l l 1 l 1 livili 111- u1-u--u---a-- -1-- -r1..1 - 1 1 -- 1:1 1 -eg--rex 1--ee f - I -in EDITORIALS l l . THE ROSTRUM Published by the Students of Guilford High School LABOR OMNIA VINCIT I How many times we have heard this expression! Labor Omnia Vincit . Translated literally it means, Work Conquers All . There are so many mottoes which We read and hear about that we haven't the slightest idea as to their meaning. But this one is the most simple We could possibly find. Still difficulty arises. Sometimes things are too easy, and then We fail to comprehend their meaning. It is a motto which ev- eryone needs and should retain in his memory. 'Foo often the simplest tasks develop entirely different from that which We had predicted. The same case arises in the meaning of this saying, Nothing in life is easy. Of course some things are more difli- cult than others, but everything takes work. Unfortunately a great many people fail to understand this and consequently make a failure of life. Work Conquers All should be a warning to us who are about to start our own life, Which, no matter how unimportant we may seem, will re- flect on the general trend of the affairs of the World. MUSIC FESTIVAL 1 The annual Music Festival took place at Dover-Foxcroft and Sanger- ville this year It was a decided suc- cess With the combined efforts of the music teachers of Guilford, Sanger- ville, Dover-Foxcroft, Milo and Dex- ter. Nothing could be more appro- priate to show the musical talent de- veloped in the schools than the excel- lent programs which have been ren- dered. It is with exceeding sorrow that We Seniors must give up this pleasure of participating in it. DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club has been very active this year with its leaders, Vel- ma Colson, Harriet Gray, Virginia Nelson, David Pierce, and Gordon Andrews. The team was staunchly supported by equally active members. Although the teams lost both de- bates, the experience 'has been fine and next year promises to have a Win- ning team. 3R CONTEST The a.nnual 3R Contest took place in Monson, May 2. This interesting and educational affair has been very successfully carried out for the third time by the combined schools of Greenville, Monson, Sangerville, Ab- bot and Guilford. The same curricu- Y THE ROSTRUM 1 5 lum was followed this year as previ- ously, medals having been awarded to each individual winner and a cup to the winning school. T'he Guilford honors were as follows: First place in English and Descriptive Theme, Mathematics and Written Spelling. Guilford tied with Greenville in Oral Spellingf The medal winners for G. H. S. were: Thelma Dore, John Pierce and Gertrude Deane. JUNIOR-SENIOR PRIZE SPEAKING Exceptional talent was shown at this public affair this year. The con- testants representing the Seniors were: Phyllis Sharpe, who received the first prize for girls: Thelma Dore, Kenneth Bradford, who was tied for the first place for boys: and Winton Cobb. For the Juniors: Velma Col- son, Georgia Stover, who received the second prize for girls: Gordon An- drews, who was tied for first place for boys: and Lewis Colson. JUNIOR PRIZE SPEAKING A June twelfth is the date set for Junior prize speaking. Because there is so much talent in the Junior Class along this line, this promises to be an interesting event. The follow- ing were chosen as speakers: Velma Colson, Ruth Crabtree, Alice Pearson, Kenneth Bruce, Gordon Andrews, and Lewis Colson. The Alumni Associa- tion will give the prizes. Not a little of the success of our final year in high school must be at- tributed to Miss Tomlinson. Miss Tomlinson is a graduate of the Maine School of Commerce in Auburn, after which she did office work until she accepted the position offered her as teacher of Commercial subjects in this high school. Miss Tomlinson has 'been our home room teacher the entire year, there- fore making her still dearer to us. Words cannot express the grateful- ness which we feel towards her in helping us to the end of our high school life. SENIOR SEXTET One of the outstanding organiza- tions in High school this year was the Senior Sextet. This musical group has been very :enthusiastically re- ceived everywhere. They have had many opportunities to appear in pub- lic and have gladly rendered their services to the utmost of their ability. It has been a delight to realize that there was sufficient musical talent in our class to obtain such pleasing re- sults. We hope that we have started an organization which will be main- tained by the following Senior classes. MISS DEBECK It is no more tha-n fitting to offer our most grateful thanksto Miss De- Beck before we leave High school. Miss DeBeck has been wonderful to us. Never could we have had such a successful play had it not been for her untiring efforts. Not only are we grateful to her for directing the Senior Play, but also for the splendid aid she has always given us in our study of the classics.

THE TALE OF GREEN VALLEY Green Valley was the name of a progressive small town in the north- ern part of New York, the chief in- dustry being a lasts-block mill. It was just off the main road and there- fore was left much to itself. In spite of its progressive appear- ance, and its well-kept streets, one thing which was very noticeable was a vacant lot on one of its busiest cor- ners. On this lot there was ia chim- ney which was overgrown with weeds and bushes. The following is a tale of this lot which is told by the men of the town to this day. Dusk was falling in Green Valley and the men were returning home from their work. It was a warm evening late in October in nineteen hundred and two and many of them loitered at the stores to hear the news of the day. One of the chief gather- ing places on this night was the Jones' Drug Store on the corner. A stranger had arrived in town that day, and the people were eagerly dis- cussing his appearance and his reas- ons for coming to Green Valley. In this little town strangers were a rar- ity at this time of the year. Did he tell you his name, John? asked one of the men. No. replied John Jones, who was owner of the store and had talked with the stranger. He merely came into the store and ordered a drink of soda. Before he left he asked me if a man by the name of Peter Blunt lived in this town. When I told him that he lived at the end o-f this street in the brown house on the right, he sim- ply thanked me and started off in the other direction. Who is Peter Blunt and where did he come from ? asked another. Well, that, continued Jo'hn. is ga mystery to most of us. All we know is that he came from Germany two years ago. But hush! Here he comes now. We will ask him if t'he stranger visited him. Hello, Peter, called John as he approached the group. Did you have company today ? No, replied Peter in surprise. What do you mean? I 4 'Well, continued John, a stran- ger was 'here this afternoon and asked where you lived. Upon my telling him, he struck off in the other direction. Can you describe him '? asked Pe- ter, although his voice trembled slightly. Why, yes, continued John, who seemed to be the speaker of the group THE ROSTRUM 7 tonight. He was tall, but not very heavy. He wore a brown suit, an old felt hat, and a large flashy ring on his finger. Another thing I particularly noticed was an ugly scar over his left eye. i At this, Peter trembled violently and turned pale. He started to go home, and then turned back to say, Friends, come back after supper. I have a story to tell you. With this, he hurried off. The men made a few more remarks and then they also went home. It was getting late in the evening before Peter returned. . In fact it was so late that John was getting ready to close up, and the men were about to go home when he suddenly appeared in the doorway. No one said a word. Peter, glancing up at the clock, immediately began his tale. Twelve years ago, he began, I was in different circumstances than I am now. I had been married -about eight years and had a boy of about six years. I had a steady j-ob in a factory and was doing very well. I had but one weakness, and that was for drink. I craved it night and day, but up to this time I had managed to keep it down enough so that I had not robbed the family of their necessi- ties. We lived about two miles from the village of Hamburg in Germany. Many nights after work I would go into the saloon and stay until mid- night, staggering home about one or two o'clock. But one thing I was thankful for was that I was able to control my temper while under the influence of liquor. My wife was very patient with me and tried every way she could to cure me, but all her efforts failed and I continued 'to drink. Several times she tried to get the saloon-keeper to refuse to sell me drink, but it was of no avail. To him my money was as good as the other fellow's, and he had no heart for the family. Peter paused here in his story for a few moments and ordered a drink of soda. After drinking this, he contin- ued with his story. It was a dark, stormy night in No- vember. The wind was howling through the trees and it was raining very hard. I had come home on time tonight and last night, but the crav- ing was still there. My little boy, Billy, did not feel well that night and therefore we had put him to bed ear- lier than usual that night, thinking he would be all right by morning. About midnight I was awakened by lmy wife who, with a very white face, told me Billy was very ill and I must go to the village for the doctor. I hastily dressed and started o-ut into the rain. I arrived at the village in good time, but as luck would have it, before arriving at the home of the doctor it was necessary to go by the saloon. Seeing it. brightly lighted, my thirst was greater than ever, but I decided I would conquer myself and go by for the sake of my child. The saloon-keeper saw me and called me in to have a drink. In vain I 'told him my boy was dying and I must get the doctor. It was to no avail. For two hours he kept me there and then turned me into the streets. I stag- gered over to the doctor's and man- aged to tell him the story. He took me in his carriage and with great haste we hurried 'to my home. Alas, it was too late. The doctor examined as near as he could and said it was a case of acute indigestion. The' boy had died about an hour before we ar- rived. If that saloon-keeper had on- ly listened to my story my boy would be alive today and I should be happy. In the heat of my anger and drunken- ness I -staggered back to the saloon and killed the saloon-keeper. That sobered me for good. 8 THE ROSTRUM That, my friends, is my story. My wife and I must again vanish. In a few days I received a letter from his brother, telling me that he would have revenge. He would fol- low me for the rest of my days. I was informed that this brother be- longed to a German Club which has representatives in all parts of the world. They all wear large, flashy rings. The stranger who was here this afternoon was a member of that club. He will return at midnight and my buildings will be burned. There is no help. If you capture him it will only add to my hardships. If the build- ings are not burned tonight, they will be soon. Good-night, friends. With this, Peter stepped out into the darkness and was never seen again. For a week men guarded the build- ings each night and then decided that Peter had been mistaken. The next night the buidings were burned. A new house was built on this site and within six months it was burned. Nothing was- left but the chimney. Since then, no one has attempted to build on that lot. M. Kimball '30 ALMOST, BUT NOT QUITE All the people up my way Get excited every day When those brave hunters return home, Tell of deer seen as they roam, Feeding in the sun so bright, Almost get one, but not quite. When my brother's at his play, Hopes to get in mother's way And 'neath her feet those tops roll, Then his ma begins to scoldg Cross her checkered skirt so bright, Almost spanked him, but n-ot quite. Chewing gum at school one day, Up my aisle she chanced to strayg Then those brave jaws ceased to chew Quickly thought of something new, Prayed she might be short of sightg Almost caught me, but not quite. I am lucky, some s-ay, nay! Don't see how they have it that way. When those brave books at me stare, I haven't studied. but I don't care, Like this poem, I get them right Almost-but not quite. P. Welts '32 HOW H. A. JONES WAS CURED Blackford had a large negro popu- lation considering the size of the town. Hiram 'Alexander Jones was considered the laziest negro in the village and he liked to tell about some of his adventures, which were, of course, highly exaggerated. Hiram Alexander's favorite occupation was fishing, but he never had very good luck. Hiram Alexander had some- thing else to take up his mind n-ow. He was very much in love. Although Sarah Jane Smith returned his love, she would not marry him. Yous gits yous a job and keeps it and saves yous money, than I will marries you, was Sarah Jane's an- swer to him. Hiram Alexander tried two differ- ent kinds of work but he soon was back to his old ways. It wasn't be- cause he was not bright, because Hi- ram Alexander was very smart fwhen he wanted to bel, but because he was just lazy. Sarah Jane had just about given up hope, but she de- cided to give him a little longer time to make good. One day Hiram Alexander Went fishing in a strange place. A storm came up and he was obliged to take shelter in an old building. The storm kept raging and Hiram knew he would have to stay there for the rest THE ROSTRUM 9 of the night. Negroes are very su- perstitious and get frightened very easily, but Hiram Alexander made up his mind not to get frightened under any condition. But he couldn't help getting a little frightened as it grew darker and the storm still raged. He knew he was better offtoremain there than to try to walk home through the woods. Between ten and twelve' Hi- ram Alexander had company.He was sitting in the dark, trying to go to sleep, when he first heard a noise. Pooh, says Hiram Alexander to himself, 'Tse won't gits 'fraid-it's jests mys magnationsf' Again Hiram Alexander heard a noise, this time nearer. He wasn't so brave now, but still he laid it to his imagination and once more tried to go to sleep. A third time he heard a noise, this time very near. This was about all Hiram Alexander could stand, so he jumped up, saying, Friend, Ise goin'. This here house aint big 'nough for yous and mes, sos Ise vacant. - But Hiram Alexander stopped when he heard a voice say: Hiram Alexander Jones, yous lazy good-for-nothin' nigger, gits youself a job and keep it, or Ise will haunt yous the rest of yous life. On hearing this, Hiram Alexander Jones rushed from the house and ran through the woods. His adventures in the woods that night have never been revealed. When he arrived at Blackford next day, he went to his home, changed his clothes and went out looking for a. position. In a few days he was at work and happy. Hiram Alexander never told anybody about his visit from a ghost as it was too horrible to think about. Anyway the ghost may have been just his conscience. Afterwards? Well, Sarah Jane and Hiram Alexander were married in less than a year. He has never returned to his early ways. They now have eleven little negroes, five girls and six boys. None of Hiram Alexander's children have any of his early traits. He won't allow them to be lazy or tell exaggerated stories. Hiram Alexander was cured of his faults and he doesn't want any of his children to have to go through a sim- ilar experience to be awakened. Madeline Colson '31 THE CLASS OF 1930 If in the Senior Rostrum You should chance to gaze, Slowly read this over And do not feel amazed. For this grade of 1930 It sure is a jolly class, We all shall leave together, That is, if we all pass. I'll tell you of the Seniors, I'll tell of one and all, They were a very jolly bunch Returning to school this fall. First comes Wilda Adams, Who went out for basketball, She made la dandy center Because she is so very tall. Then there is Arthur Ames In classes not too slow, But he'd race around the town, And how he'd make his old Fordgol Next comes Evelyn Boutot, A pretty, tall brunette, If English and History she's done She then feels that she's all set . Now it's Kenneth Bradfo-rd- Quite funny I must say, But hear him start a poem, And you will wish to stay. Well, here is Winton Cobb- In English he is bright., The only fault with Winton He stays out late at night. Now comes Viola Conner, Short, dark, quite fat, 10 THE ROSTRUM But in every single subject She's rather good at that. Then there's Thelma Dore, A very good, young girl, She thought her hair too straight, So bought a permanent curl. Next comes Mildred Ferris- She's pretty, cute, petite, Sometimes she has a temper, But to Clayton--always sweet. Then its Maurice Kimball, The smartest in our class, He never needs to worry But what helll safely pass. ' We come across Pearl Littlefield In everything quite smart, To be the greatest in our class Is the wish that's in her heart. Well, there is Leslie Moody, Studious, good and bright, -Then there is Phyllis Sharpe, With such goodlooking clothes, Before leaving for a class She puts powder on her nose. Next comes Clayton Tucker, A very good young lady For all his jokes and laughter . He's really not so bad. Then there is Helen Williams- She always looks just soy What Junior fellow does she like? Well, I guess that we all know. Now I am last as you can see, I wrote this just for fun, But 1'm kind of glad to say My task is nearly none. Fellow classmates, don't be peeved- Take this, for you're all game, So you will know who wrote it, I now will sign my name. He sometimes plagues the teachers- In one Cteacherh he takes delight.

The days are passing quickly, And soon that day will come When you'll say Good-bye Seniors , Their four years' work well done. It may seem queer to some of you That we should not feel glad, But some of us regret it, And some of us feel real sad. We mustn't mind it too much For it's all in the game, , But the Seniors are so sensitive And they are not all to blame. The years we've spent together- We should treasure every one, Remember the gladness and sorrows, Remember the gayness and fun. Since we were little, children ' And first we entered school, W e've been loyal to each other And carried out the Golden Rule . Whene'er a classmate left us His seat was an empty space, Until somebody entered And tried to fill his place. We'Ve welcomed all newcomers - And sadly seen old pals go, To each one we've been faithful, This you can't help 'but know. After we've gone you'll remember That this was as good a class fThough small, but truly ambitiousl Through G. H. S. has passed. 16 THE ROSTRUM - We also wish to tell you When we try out for the test, We'll give our helpers nothing- No, nothing-but the best. For each of us are striving To reach that goal so blessedg That-goal that's so much honored, That Goal they call Success . And when we have all succeeded And thus our battle won, We will not sit by idlv And say Our work is done . But we will keep on working And Hy our colors high, 'We know that we'll gain nothing If we do not try and try. So when we've all gained happiness And the highest in success, Then will be the time to proudly say I'm sure I've done my best . W e'll keep in touch with each other Though oceans keep us apart, And be faithful to Guilford High School, That's a pledge in each one s heart. Now this is just the way I feel, And I'm sure .all Seniors dog So if you hold any interest, Watch us carry this through. Kay Ames '30 OUR TEACHERS A word to the teachers of G. H. S. I In all the schools we have the best: . VVe have both men and women too None of them ever make us blue. Miss Tomlinson first, we like her too, Because she is good. not 'cause she is newg She treats us just right and makes us feel gay When any subject she gives us an . Mr. Gates will be next, ia man w'ho's worthwhileg He never gets angry, but will always smile. Some like him as teacher, some like him as coach, But in History the Seniors sure like him the most. Mrs. Ledger, I think , is next on the list, Now that she's married, her 'husband is missed Cfrom the schoolj g She is basketball coach of girls, and the team She has made more lively than we can dream. Miss Homer is great, for her we all sing, 'Sometimes we are naughty and don't sing a thing, At our Fair and Circus, See America First, She drew such a crowd we thought the building would burst. Miss DeBeck is a teacher that we had last year, But it makes us all happy to know she is nearg In French and in Latin her teachings are best And every six weeks she hands out a test. Mrs. Emery, some children of her have great fear, But the Seniors miss her in English this yearg Every one of us likes her 'because she is true And makes one do what she wants them to do. Miss Savage is a teacher whom every- biody likes, In every single argument she proves that she is right, , She is very popular, I think she likes us all, Because when we need help, she asks all to c-all . Mr. Johnson is a popular man, his lessons not too shortg The boys who are under him do ex- actly as they're taught. THE ROSTRUM 17 He's always helping someone, and does his very best. While in school he's very sober, out- side he'll sometimes jest. Mr. Kassay must come nextg he's our principal so grandg If We get in any trouble 'he'll lend us a helping handg He has e'er been striving to teach us right from wrong. And if we do just what he says, life will be one happy song. And last lbut not least of all our teach- ers dear Comes Mr. Marriner, who tries us on our Way to cheerg He's very kind and generous and wants us to do right, And if we do as he tells us, our hearts ' will e'er be light. , K.

Wilson hurled a great ball for the home boys, sending nine men to the bench. This was the first game that Wilson has solely occupied the mound for nine innings, being also his first season in that position. The landslide occurred in the first when the Academy team scored four runs, but this soon subsided and they were allowed only two more scatter- ing runs, one in the fourth and one in the sixth. The Black and White men persis- tently gained on their opponents as follows: Cobb on Wilson's single in the second, Bickford, Littlefield in the fifth, both earned runs, Wilson, Ridley, Orff and Bickford in the sixth, Skillins, the first hitter in the seventh, hit and scored. The final run was made in the eighth by Cobb. Due to the heavy Wind, which blew at right angles to the field, many Hy balls were misjudged. Score : 0 2 base hits, Merrow, Hatch, 2.

One Monday afternoon she saw her minister coming toward the houseg so she again placed the cover over the cage.
