I was in the oflice the other day, and one of the teachers was there. 'She looked up at a crumpled red, white, and blue heap thrown on top of the Bling cabinet and asked me, Isn't the flag ever put up now?,' Igwas really kind of ashamed when I answered that it hadn't been put up for quite awhile. After all, this is my school-the one I should be loyal to and work for. VVhyiiS'n,t it up? Our country is en- gaged in a war-an all-out war for vic- tory it's often called. During a War is the time we should be showing our patriot- ism and love for this great country of ours.,And what is a better Way of show- ing that patriotism than displaying the American flag? Maybe the students and faculty of G. H. S. donpt realize wfhat the flag should mean to us. It is the symbol of our country and stands for just what our country stands for-freedom. We can say what we want to, when we want to. We don't have to be careful about what we print in our papers or magazines. We are free from want. That doesnit mean that everything we want we get, but the necessities of life-food, clothing, and shelter--are not gone without by many in this U. S. A. Along with the freedom from want goes the freedom from fear. We never have to give much thought to being bombed or even robbed. Our fears are calmed by ,the presence of compe- tent policemen, firemen, and the armed forces. Most ofnall though, our country offers us freedom of opportunity. In this great land of ours all men are created equal, and all have an equal chance to gain prominence and even wealth. There they are: Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom of Speech plus Free- dom of Opportunity. These are just a representative few of the things our country offers us. Don,t you think we should show our appreciation for hav- ing these things as our heritage by at least displaying the American flag at our school? VVhy not take the heap from the corner of the Hling case and put it up on the pole where -everyone -can see it? After all, Guilford High School is supposed to he a patriotic school. f M. Nesfbit, Editor. VANDALISMS IN OUR SCHOOL Although some of the students in our school donit realize it, we attend one of the finest schools for its size in the state. The building was constructed quite re- cently at a huge expense to the town. Do the students appreciate what has been given to them? Some probably do, but it is evident that there are many who donit. This is what I wish to point out. Recently it was discovered that ta group of students, mostly boys, had made several large holes in Uhe walls of a certain room by deliberately kicking the plaster until it fell off. As a result much labor and material were necessary to repair the damage. Never again will the wall be clean and smooth as it used to be. Not only this act but many others are being and have been done in our school. The defacing of desk tops is one of these. There is hardly a desk in the building that does not bear the marks of pencil lead or scratches made by pointed edges. On a desk where these indentations are deep, writing is very diflicult. In order to repair the surfaces THE ROSTHUM 5 one must scrape and sand for hours. Considering all the desks that will have to be repaired, it Will cost a large sum of money and much labor. Textbooks are another article which receive much abuse. The pages are torn and marked because of needless care- lessness. Covers and pages become loose through rough handling. The books are then useless. Students, Why are we so delinquent in the care of our soho-ol? The hard earned money of the taxpayers is giving us a Wonderful chance to learn in a mod- ern, Well supplied building. Are We using it as We should? My opinion is that We are not. So let's change our ways and see how much better We can make our school look. I. Lombard, Assistant Editor. I.

SENIOR PLAY XVhere were you on the night of No- vember 19th? XVell, you should have been among the capacity crowd at the G. H. S. gym to witness the most suc- cessful Senior play ever presented at this school. The name of the play was Good Morning Gloryf, but donit ask us where it got its title because we havenit found out yet. The play centered about the coming of a famous movie star to Tony's Tav- ern, a restaurant managed by Mother Tony, Donna Welts, a sweet old lady who was a friend to everyone. Gloria Gammon, Loraine Lewis, one of the waitresses, was in love with Harold Hines, George Iohnston, our movie hero, although she had only seen his pictures. For complications we find Florabelle F leepepper, Dolores Boutot, using her persuasive methods to win the heart of the movie idol. Florabelle and her mother, Mrs. N. G. Fleepepper, Barbara Fox, were the society snobs of the town. Mrs. Fleepepper always had her finger in every pie. Barbara stole more than her share of laughs from the audi- ence and when there was a slack, she SENIOR PLAY CAST Seated: George Johnston, Loraine Lewis, Mrs. Emery. Standing: Nlaxine Xesbit, Danny Currie, Carroll Trafton, Exelyn Andrews, Dexter Blctlien, Donna YVelts, Nladeline Knowles. Dolores Boutot, Barbara Fox. filled in with humorous ad libs. Harold Hines was invited to judge a beauty contest being held at Tonyis Tav- ern, and he accepted. However, hc came in disguise and brought along two of his pals, Joey James, Carroll Trafton, and Frankie Fox, Danny Currie, all in the guise of college boys looking for work. Mother Tony took advantage of this and set them to work as waiters. Hilarious complications arose between Joey and Evie Bigsom, Evelyn Andrews, the vivacious waitress, and Frankie and Nlaxy Macy, Maxine Nesbit, the cute lit- tle salesgirl who has come to the tavern for a vacation. Howard Hersey, Dexter Bletlxen, the very likeable villain in our story, through false accusations of Gloryis sweet and innocent sister Glare, Madeline Knowles, forces Glory to divert more attention to him than to Hal. Joey and Frankie have comic love scenes with their girl friends, who spray a mysterious love potion on them. Joey falls into a trance and says sweet thingsv to Evie, but Frankie falls into a deep sleep much to Maxy's dismay. .Xt the beauty contest all the disguises are removed and Glory finds that the college boy she has been falling in love with was the famous movie idol him- self. Glory received most votes and wins the beauty contest in spite of the fact lhat Florabelle and her mother have constantly been boasting of Flora's win- ning it. Howard skips town with the prize money and is caught by Joey and Frankie. He confesses his sins, is par- doned by the group, and Hal gives him enough money to get a clean start in life. NVith all complications finally coming to a conclusion and successful settle- ment, the curtain closed on some very enjoyable scenes for the audience and certainly for the players! Glory goes to Ilal, Evie to Joey, and Maxey to Frankie. Xvhen the romantic couples kissed, whyl the building actually quiv- I6 THE ROSTRUM ered! WVho wouldnit want to be in a play with an ending like that? Awwoo! CMust be the wolf in us!! The cast presented Mrs. Emery with a gift for her ceaseless patience in coach- ing the play and making it such a won- derful success. Lots of credit goes to Arthur Scales, the stage technician, for his lighting in some of the moonlight scenes, to Alice WVilley, the'property manager, for her attractive settin-gs of the furniture, to Kay Lovejoy, for her prompting, and to Ioyce Prescott, the business manager.

NVhile sleeping I had a dream, and this is what I dreamed: I saw fifty-one young people sitting in a room receiving some instructions. As I was very curious to know what it was all about I stopped and listened for some time. The lady who was giving the instructions was very kind and was de- termined to have the whole attention of the students upon her instructions. Later I learned that her name was Mrs. Emery and that it was the Freshman class of Guilford High School to whom she was talking. That first day was rather em- barrassing for many of the students, who were in every room but the correct one, but 'finally it was over, and they went home anxious for the next day. This notorious class had a class meet- ing within a few days and I saw that they elected for president Joyce Pres- cott, vice-president, Melvin Gilman, sec- retary, Alice Willey, treasurer, George Rollins, student council representatives, Joyce Woodbury and Willard Ellis. The second week I saw these Fresh- men initiated into their school by the Sophomore class. It was quite a day! Both the boys and girls had to dress in funny clothing and in the evening each of them had to perform some stunt be- fore an audience in the auditorium. It will always be remembered! In November this class sponsored an assembly and had Miss Erma Keniston for the speaker. Time went by very fast and soon l saw this class celebrating Christmas by having a party in their home room, Everyone had a swell time! On the last day of sc-hool in Iune 1 saw them at Borestone Mt. on a class trip. The trip went off with a bang and my dream began to fade away. Soon my dream came back again and it seemed to be in the month of Septem- ber and I saw this same notorious class. This year there were only thirty-one members and they called themselves Sophomores. They had the same home room teacher, Mrs. Emery. I saw them elect officers as follows: President, George Rollins, vice-presi- dent, Melvin Gilman, secretary, Dolores Boutot, treasurer, Danny Currie, student council representatives, Maxine Nesbit, Ioyce Prescott, and Melvin Gilman, and alternate member, Carroll Moore. This year they all seemed very happy because they could initiate the Fresh- men-and they certainly did initiate them! In December the class was very proud to receive their beautiful class rings. They celebrated Christmas this year with the other classes in the gym. In February the class put on a fine assembly in the gym. The main number on the program was a play entitled, 'iflerbie and the Mumpsf' ' They closed this year by going to Sebec Lake and had a wonderful time. Just ask the kids if they didnit have a swell time! My dream faded again not to come back until September, when I saw the same class. They still had Mrs. Emery for a home room teacher. This year they elected as class officers: Presi- dent, Melvin Gilman, vice-president, Donna VVelts, secretary, Evelyn An- drews, treasurer, Loraine Lewis, class i . ,, THE ROSTRUM 17 historian, Joyce YVoodhuryg student council ineinhers, Maxine Nesbit, Ber- nice Foss. and Malcolm Herring, and alternate, Madeline Knowles. They welcomed into their class three new members, Dorothy Lewis, Kay Lovejoy, and Barbara Fox. In January l noticed that all of the students were heginning to get very nervous. Later l found out that Junior Speaking was soon to take place. The tryouts were held on the 26th and 28th of the month. On March 5th the Junior Speaking was held. Joyce VVood'bury and Evelyn Andrews were tied for first place for the girls. Carroll Trafton came out first and Merle Michaud second for the boys. During the week of March 8th I watched both the boys and the girls come out as winners in the interclass basketball games. For the first time in several years the Juniors did not sponsor the annual Junior Prom. For the third time my dream faded and when it came hack it was in September and again l saw this no- torious class who called themselves Seniors-and were they dignified! Dorothy llanimond and Joanne How- ard joined the class this year. They elected as class officers: President, Car- roll hlooreg vice-president, Carroll Traf- lou: secretary, Loraine Lewis, treasurer, .Xliee XVillcy, historian, Joyce Prescottg student council representatives, Bernice Foss, Maxine Neshit, and Donna Welts. The first great event of the year was the Senior play entitled Good Morning Cloryf' Everyone said it was swell! The elass'pictures were taken the first of De- i'6'lllllG1'. NVhen I left them in dreamland they were patiently waiting for their proofs. Other things of importance which they were looking forward to were the ininstrel show, class trip, Junior Prom, and graduation.

POTATO CHIPS Remember the days before the war, when you could go to the nearest grocer and buy any time, any amount of those luscious, crispy, crunchy potato chips? The tired housewife, having returned from a hectic day of shopping, would find she had only ten minutes to get supper. She would send Iohnny to the store and have him get some potato chips. Do you remember how nice they tasted, especially with a salad? Of course they were annoying also. You would decide to go to a thrilling motion picture filled with suspense, tears, and bloodshed. You'd get a good seat where you could see perfectly for fmuch to your delightj the row in front of you would be filled with small chil- dren. The movie would get well under way and the villain would be about to shoot the heroine. The hero would ride up on his white horse and he and the villain -would go into a violent fight. All you could see was the beautiful face of the heroine as, through glycerin tears, she watches them struggle for the gun. A shot would ring out. Suspense would fill the air. You watched intently to see who was dead-who was the victor. The theatre was as still as death and every nerve was tense. Then a slight rustle met your ear and a crunch of teeth broke the silence. Pop! would go the suspense. The mood would be ruined and so would your good humor. Then you were invited to a pot-luck picnic, and everyone was asked to take something for everybody, not letting them know what it was. You would all be sitting around the tablecloth, when you were asked to present your food. As if by magic, every hand was instantly filled with bags of potato chips! Itis lucky someone brought along some water. Remember when you went to the fair to spend all your money? Of course you claimed you wouldnit spend it all, but usually you did. To begin with you would see a stand with lots of those lit- tle cellophane bags just waiting for you to purchase. You stepped right up and bought a dimeis worth. Having downed them you need a drink to quench your thirst. No water was near you so you had to buy some soda pop. Still you were hungry and then ate some more. This performance was repeated many times until finally you had used all your money or it was time to go home. When you sat down to supper it was no use. Your stomach would take no more. At last you went to bed and all night were kept awake by agonizing pains. You sat there wondering why you'd given in to those potato chips and would promise never to do the same thing again. But next year it happened again. If you worked in a store, restaurant, theatre, or other public place, you would hate the things, 'because when it came time to sweep, the floor would be cov- ered with small chips and crumbs of dry potatoes. They were, in reality, the toughest things in the world to get up, for they always stuck to something. How many enemies were made by these seemingly innocent little chips! Joe had just bought some and was walk- ing along the street when jim, being one of Ioeis best friends, rushed up and walked with him. If Ioe didn't offer any chips, Jim would be angry and it would ruin their friendship. On the other hand, if he did offer Iim some, Ioe would think that Jim walked with him in order to get some of the potato chips. 20 V THE ROSTRUM Then things changed. War came and potato chips went. With them went the pleasure, the bother, the fun, the heart- aches they had caused. No more do you have nice potato chip suppers. No more is suspense broken by potato chip-eating children Qnow they use peanuts and popcornj. No more do you dread pot- luck lunches or the night after the fair. Of course, itis natural for you to feel had not being able to buy your favorite food now. But soon you hear there are some in town. If youire smart you leave everything and rush to the store to get some, but if youire just average you put it off itil another day. At last, being aver- age, you enter the store, and, after look- ing around cautiously, you ask if they have any potato chips. VVe,re sorry, but we just sold the last packagef, the answer you receive. You cuss at yourself for being lazy and the wonderful taste which you have been harboring in your mouth the last few days suddenly becomes flat. Next time you promise to be the first one there. Then the rumor reaches you there are some more potato chips in town. Rush- ing up to your dealer you ask with a hopeful gleam in your eye if he has some. He answers that he hasnit any potato chips, BUT Qyour hope is again roused, he has some potato-pops which are the same only made from dehydrated potatoes. You take one out of the cello- phane. It is thicker than the old kind. VVondering if it tastes as good as it looks, you sink your teeth into it and crunch, crunch, crunch, it feels like good old potato chips. At last a perfect substitutel But waitl VVhere is that salty tang? XVhere is that undefinable flavor that you have been anticipating? You find these chips 'have no particular taste to them. Alas! There is no substitute for good old potato chips. But perhaps it is just as well if you donit have any potato chips. For if there arenit any, you wonit go spending your money foolishly for something you donit need and that money you save can al- ways be put into use for the government when it asks us to give all we can for War Bonds. XVith these bonds in future years, even if times are tough, you will he able to buy all the potato chips you wish. lVhat a beautiful future to look forward tol C. Johnston ,4-1. I CAN, I WILL, I MUST There are many opportunities for those of us who are young today-oppole tunities which many of us do not see. XVe have parents, schools, churches, col- leges, and so many other places which are both amusing and educational. Each ol' these opportunities has a challenge- a ehallenge to build our ow11 character and to build a better America. Are we going to say that we can accept these challenges, or are we going to continue lo go our own selfish way and never give thought to others? To any of us who will say, 1 can,', there seems to be greater opportunities and greater chal- lenges. For example, take a young boy who has just completed grammar school. He is faced with the question as to Whether or not he will go to high school. He has every opportunity that a boy would want, but he doesnit know just what he will do. Finally, he says that he can go- Ifor there is nothing to stop him. The next question is Whether or not he will go. What else is there for him to do? Yes, he can get a job, but without his high school education it is apt to be a small one, and probably it will not be a lasting one. At last he says he will go. .-Xfter giving the question still more thought, he comes to the conclusion that he must go if he is going to prepare him- self to give America his best. It is not only a boy about to enter high school who is faced with these three things, but all of us, sometime in life, will come to a place where we donit know just what to do. It is then that THE ROSTRUM 21 we can say to ourselves, 6'VVe can do the job, we will do it, and we must do itfi All of us are in this world for a purpose, and we should do our best to fulfill that purpose. So let us remember that if we have a desire to do a thing and if we feel that we must do it, we can and we will do it! Bernice Foss ,44. OUR BONE NEIGHBORS There are over two hundred bones in the body, but I donit believe many aver- age persons can name these promiptly, if at all. There are a few of these bones, however, that we all know. These bones represent some of the people we know very well, although I doubt if we often think of classifying people according to bones. There are the wish-bonev people, for instance. In this group of people we find the people who are always wishing for something, but who are doing very little to make their wishes come true. They wisfh that school lasted only three days a week, they wish and dream about breaking the dishes instead of washing them, they wish money grew on trees, and they wish they could go to college next fall. These people live in a dreamy world full of their desires, but what do they do about these wishes? IVhat do they do about the money they need for college next fall? They dream about possessing it, but they donit dream of doing any work to obtain it. Yes, I think we all know some of the Wishbone peo- ple, but we donit care to have them for close friends. There are also the 'funnyboneii people. XVho comes in this group? XVhy, the person who laughs because his wife has left him, the boy who grins when he Hunks an exam, the woman who bursts into laughter when she runs her stock- ing, and the girl who giggles when she has kept her date waiting an hour for her. VVe all know these people who laugh when it rains, laugh when the sun shines, laugh when they are late for school, and laugh when they burn up a cake. Of course we all want to be able to laugh at the humorous side of life, but do we want to be a person who gig- gles at everyt'hing? I think you will agree with me that the answer is definitely No . Then there are the ujawbonev people wiho are nearly opposite the ufunnybonev people. Here we find the person who yells, Turn that radio off! It sounds as though a hurricane were raging in this roomlv You promptly turn the radio off and then he complains, You'd think some was dead in the house, itis so quietlv In this group we also find the elderly aunt who raves when you are a long time doing the dishes, but if you speed up the process she scolds for she knows you canit possibly have wiped them dry. VVe also find here the person who jaws because the room is too hot, you open the window and itis too cold. Certainly everyone knows and spends some time avoiding people in this group. I will try to tell you of only one more of the borne people, like 'gbackbonev people. Among these people we find the persons we like to know and the persons we like to be. VVho are some of these backbone people? The man who started a small novelty store and is today the townis leading business man, the awk- ward country lawyer who later became one of the greatest Presidents of our na- tion and the Negrois emancipator, the young man whom people made fun of when he walked down the streets of Philadelphia with two loaves of bread in his pocket, but later he became the cityis most distinguished citizen, and the poor boy across the street who worked his way through school and is now caring for an aged father and mother. In other words, these are the people, the aback- boneii people, that are the backbone and foundation of our great nation. Donna VVelts '44, 22 THE ROSTRUM THOSE WHO DIE According to the records, Pellitier is the best qualified man we have for this job. Jeanne Fortin and Theresa Pirout, who works in the generals office, can help himf, spoke the man in the shiny blue serge suit, looking up from his book of records. K'Pellitier can come here. You will go to the house of Pellitier and give him do it then. Jacques, Monsieur Henri this note. He is to return with you. Be one sees you come in careful that no here. You may go nowf, Later Jacques enters with another man. The man speaks, You sent for me -Henri Pellitier?,' Yes, I did. Sit down. So you are Pelli- tier. I am Raymon Foulon. Have you not heard of me in my work in the under ground systems of F rance?', Without waiting for a reply, the outspoken Fou- lon continued, Your record speaks well for you. You have done well in your ef- forts to hinder the Nazi hordes, who are trying their best to orush our gallant spirit. They can starve us, they can tor- ture us, they can kill us. But they can never kill the true France that every Frenchman holds fast in his heart, never until they kill every Frenchman who has been born into this world of hatred! 'Enough of sentiment, we must never give way to sentiment. If we do, it will be our downfall. The real purpose of your being here is to give you your or- ders. They are simple. The Tennerie factory, where you work, must be de- stroyed. Your helpers will be Jeanne Fortin and Theresa Piroutf' aBut not Jeanne, this is dangerous! Canit you put someone else in her place? You see, I love Jeanne Fortin. We were to have been married in June4but the Germans camef, I am sorry. I didn't know, but ilt can not be changed now. The plans are made. You must carry them out to every letter of every word. You know all of the people who will aid you. Jeanne can secure the explosives. Theresa will get the plans to the factory for you. She can do it easily enough. You and Jeanne both work in the factory. It will be simple. Have it happen when there are as few as possible there. We can at least try to be human. Will you do it?', I will do it. The task will be com- pletcd by Friday night. Today is Wednesday. It shall be donef, After say- ing this, Pellitier left the room. He had work to do tonight. He must see Jeanne. Fifteen minutes later, a tall, dark, un- shaven man in an old suit of work clothes, which had been shabby for a long time, walked quickly up the steps of a house in the suburbs of a once beautiful, but now ruined, Paris. He glanced cautiously around him. Seeing no one, he opened the door and stepped in quickly. In the corner of the room, bending over her book, trying to catch the fading light of a dying sun, sat a beautiful French girl. Jeanne,v the tall man murmured as he walked across the floor. Jeanne.v Henril I thought perhaps they had gotten you. I have been waiting a long time. WVhy are you so late? I have something to tell you. You and your friend, Theresa Pirout, have been chosen to help me destroy the fac- tory in which we work. It must be done by Fridayf, c'Henri, do you know that a new ship- ment of French soldiers, for the Nazis to send to the Russian front to be slaught- ered, passes the plant soon after we get out of work tomorrow? Why not kill them now? It would save them from the horrible fate that is in store for them. XVould it not be better to kill them be- fore they can become traitors to Franceiy K'Jeanne, you are right. At four-forty we will blow the place as high as the elephant who jumped the fence. If We can just get it close to the powder room, the shells which are in there will ex- plode and destroy the track and troop THE ROSTRUM 28 train. With perfect timing it can be done. A friend of mine is engineer on that train. If he knows that the plant is going to be blown up, he can turn the train off onto that old siding which goes into the supply room beside the powder room. I will make the change at the siding during our noon period. There is no afternoon train. Oh, here is Theresa. How ilong have you been here, Theresafrw I have been here long enough to get the general drift of things, I guess. Am I supposed to get the plans of the plant for you? I think I can get them tonight. I have to go back at seven-thirty this eveningf, After this, Theresa Pirout, a beautiful girl with golden hair and a fair skin, sat down beside Jeanne. No one could help but notice the contrast between the two girls. Both Ieanne and Theresa had French fathers. Ieanne's mother had been French. The Germans got her. Theresa never spoke of her mother, a Swiss woman. Theresa's moth- er was dead, but Theresa could not for- give the people of her mother's country for not fighting. In her love for liberty, equality, and fraternity she was truly French. Yes, Theresa, you are to get me the plans of the factory. YVill those plans be in the files of your General Shmidtz?', I can secure them tonight. You will be here to get them about ten o,clock?', I will be here. Now, Jeanne, take your market basket and go to Monsieur Rauilieris home. I will write you a note to give to him telling him exactly what I want. I, too, must go now. I will be back at ten o'clock.', Pellitier went quietly out into the night and disap- peared. In the house, Theresa was preparing to go back to General Shmidtis office. .She has a strange premonition that something unexpected will happen which has a great deal of effect on their plans. As Theresa walks quickly into the of- fice, she wishes she could give up the whole idea. She hears footsteps and the general comes in. He gives her orders in a Curt Nazi tone, 'iFraulein Piro-ut, I want you to typewrite these orders for me. I am going out. You may leave as soon as you have finished. Heil, Hitler!', i'Heil Hitler, Theresa answered ca-s- ually. As soon as the last dying sounds of his footsteps have faded, Theresa sat down at her desk and typed for a while. Then she got up, ran to the window and looked out. She saw that the general had left in his private car. Quickly she reached for her key to the file cabinet. Soon the file was opened and the prec- ious plans were in her hands-the plans that help to bring the doom of the Axis nearer! A funny sensation rushed through her mind. It seemed almost as if she were being Watched. Looking up, she saw a German officer staring at her. NVhat are you doing with those files? VVhere is General Shmidtz? Answer me immediatelyf, This tall blond German lad spoke accusinigly, as though he sus- pected somethinfg. She must think fast. The general? He just left a short while ago. I do not know where he went. VVhat am I doing with the file? I am looking up some maps for the generalf, She was frightened. If only she could have been a better actress. Her surprise still showed on her face. I do not believe you! You are lying! You wish to steal those plans. I am sorry that I must take you prisoner, my pretty frauleinf' He, too, was surprised. He didn't want to sentence this girl to the death she must face, if he turned her in to the German police. She was just a French girl, at least she talked like one. Without quite knowing what he did, he stepped closer and asked, MAre you French? Yes, and proud of it, Theresa snapped back the reply. My mother was Swiss, if you must be so inquisitive. How dare you say that I am trying to steal! You impudent pig! You do not 24 THE ROSTRUM even know enough to be decent to a lady. Get out of here at oncelv You canit order me out of here. I am a German and you are French. By the way, my name is Herman Gunther, not a pretty name but at least it is German. lVhat is yours, my fraulein, and are you fran or frauleinilv Bly name. Nlonsieur Nazi, is Made- moiselle Theresa Pirout. Now will you get out before I call the police in? I will not get out and if you call in the police I shall have you arrested on the charge of resisting arrest and slan- der. You would die if I told them what you were doing when I came in. Give me a little kiss now and promise to be good and I will let you freef, He stepped closer and kissed her. Her hands were clenched into hard balls and she drove them into his hard chest again and again. Finally he said, My dear, as long as you hit me I shall never stop kissing youf, At this she gave in. They heard steps in the hall. The door slammed shut. Now,', he said, they have gone. I heard them come in. That 'is why I pre- tended I was just another German sol- dier trying to get a kiss from a pretty French girl. That is why I did not men- tion the plans again. I only asked you about t-hem to make sure you were really taking them. I see now that you were. XVhen I saw your fair hair I thought you were a German. Theresa, I am a German, yes, an American-born German who would do anything for the fatherland. I come from America-that is my fatherlandl I come here to help you. Quick get that typing done. Then we will take all the plans and things which are of value out of here. This place will blow sky-high in about fifteen minutes. You know there are really some important papers in that room. My mission is to destroy them. Hurry or it will be too latef, Theresa looked at him. Was this a trick? She took a long look into his eyes. They told her that all he had said was true. They told her something else, too. He was in love with her. But now there was no time for love. She must finish that typing. Herman was in the generalis oflice putting fortification maps i11to his brief case. They would come in handy when the Allies raided France. She heard steps in the hall. Her typing was nearly done. VVhat if he made her stay later to do more work? She told Herman that Shmidtz was coming. He came out of the office and as the general came in, he was helping her into her coat. So my secretary has decided to find herself a handsome young Nazi to be the father of her children? Let me tell you, countryman, she is a nice girl for a French one. Pretty as they make them. She wouldn't go for me, though. Of course l am married but that doesnit matter. lVe supermen are truly wonder- ful. arenit weiw As he spoke, llerman watched him. When Shmidtz stopped for a breath of air, Gunther broke in. Yes, the super race is wonderfull The super race is made up of fine Amer- icansf, After saying this, Gunther swung his fist into Shmidtz's face and Shmidtz was lying, face down, on the floor. Herman and Theresa hurried out. Soon after they left the building the whole place was in shambles. Gunther's mission had been accomplished. Back at Ieanneis home, she and Henri were waiting. 'Ilhey heard steps and rushed to the window. It is Theresa, but who is the German officer with her? Quickly, hide in this closet. He may be here to arrest us. But why does she seem happyfpv The door opened quickly and in stepped Theresa and the Nazi. Theresa jerk. and pulled down the shades with a Then she rushed over to Jeanne hugged her. She enlightened the sur- prised leanne by telling her of the Ger- man-.-Xmerican who was going to help THE ROSTRUM 25 them. As she narrated the events of the evening, Henri stepped out of the closet. Oh, Henrif, she said, I want you to meet Herman Gunther. Now, don't you draw your gun. He is a good Germanf, i'The only good Nazis are the dead onesf' But he isn,t a Nazi. He is an Amer- ican secret service man. He has been telling me all about himself. He just de- stroyed my oflice. YVe saved a lot of plans and important data for his govern- ment. Herman, what did you do with themiy, They are on their way to England, now. l left them in a garbage can as we came past that last alley. A friend of mine was standing there in a doorway. We have to work fast in our war against the Gestapof' I am glad to have met you, Herman. I must go nowf, Henri said goodbye to Herman and walked up to Jeanne, kissed her and spoke in a low voice. Goodnight and may it be a good night for us allf, Soon after Pellitier left, Gunther also went away. They would all meet in the morning. Theresa and Jeanne were dressing the next morning when the sun arose. Jeanne spoke, Theresa, do you feel the same as I do? I feel as though this would be the last time my hair will ever be brushed. Itis a funny feeling. I have felt it ever since early this morning. I do not know why. Do you suppose - oh, Theresa, do you suppose they will catch us? If they catch us what will they do to us? Will they kill us? I have seen so many people-women and children, so young that they could not have harmed anything, killed in the streets. No, not killed. They were murdered! Murdered by the maniac who calls himself our ruler, sets himself up as our God, and then murders us. He would personally stab every one of us who does not bow on our knees to him and beg him to let us spy upon our neighlbors. Theresa, cant we get out of France? Canit we get away from this hell on earth? c'Jeanne, you must not feel that way. You love France as I do. You would gladly give your life for her. You are worried. Never mind it, it will pass on. By the time we get to the plant you will feel better. Come, now. We must go if we are to be on time for the funf, The two girls left the house and walked down the street a few blocks to the factory. Theresa went on a few more blocks. She did not want the people to wonder what she was doing on the streets of Paris alone. Then she turned and went back to the house. She did not wish to be at the office when the Gestapo officers started their investigation. As darkness falls early now in the dreary, gloomy city of once bright Paris, it is dark when Pellitier and Jeanne Fortin leave the factory. Jeanne walks slowly down the street, hoping to be there to see t-he explosion, but not dar- ing to wait lest she be arrested. Soon Pellitier caught up with Jeanne. Walk- ing slowly down the street, they ap- peared to be just a pretty French girl and a young Frenchman, very deeply in love with each other. There was a Hash in the night sky. The Tennerie ammunition plant was in flames. Sirens were blowing and people were rushing toward the blaze that was tearing the heavens apart. Men in Nazi uniforms were rushing around. Through all the noise and confusion Jeanne and Henri hurried home, unnoticed. They walked quickly up the front steps and into the house. Then came the Curt command, Put your hands upl We have finally caught you. You will pay dearly for your sins against the almighty Hit- ler. Hans, tie their wrists. The car is here. Go, n0w.', They were ushered hurriedly into a car standing before the house. Theresa and Herman were already inside. Her- man explained fbriefly why they were there. I suppose you are wondering 26 THE ROSTRUM whv we are here. A Nazi rat in America sources here in discovered through unknown t-hat a German-American was Germany. Ile got my complete descrip- here It tion. Because of me you are all 'N . was no fault of yours. You should not die for what I have done. If only some well- meaning American had kept his mouth shut. In America there is too much free- dom of speech and too much freedom of the press. I wish a few of the Americans could see the suffering in France. They would never again complain about sugar rationingf, Shut up talking back there. It disturbs us. You must leave us supermen alonef, These orders came from the Nazis in the front seat of the car. The automobile drew up in front of the court house. They all got out and ran up the steps and into General Varott von Garmains' office. The oHicers clicked their heels, raised their arms in the Nazi salute and evilly barked, Heil, Hitlerln General von Garmains also rose and gave tihe regulation yell. Then he went on, Who are these people? VVhy have you brought them here?', The officer in charge answered him. This is the German-American, Herman Gunther. These girls are Theresa Pirout and Ieanne Fortin. They aided this man, Henri Pellitier, in the sabotage of the Tennerie ammunition plantf, So he is the one who was responsible for that! Take all of them but this one away to the cells. All right, now, Pelli- tier, whom are you taking orders from? Who are you working for? You had 'bet- ter tell me, because if you donit I will torture it out of youf, K'If you really want to know, I will tell you. YVho am I taking orders from? I am taking my orders from God, who sits in the high heavens and rules over all of mankind. He orders me through my conscience. Who am I working for? I am working for a lady whom you and your kind would not know. She has an odd name, but it is beautiful. Her name would not mean much to you because you are taught that she is no good. Her name, my friend, is Freedom. She is worth more to me than life. Are there any more questions you wish me to an- sweriy, KYOII are an impudenit pig! Guard! Take him away. My orders are to exe- cute the four of them immediately. I donit 'care how, nor wheref, The guards took Pellitier and hurried him to the cells. Then they rounded up all four of them and led them into the street to be shot before the public. The guards gave the firing squad the order to shoot and soon tlhe dastardly work had been done. Henri Pellitier, Jeanne For- tin, Theresa Pirout, and Herman Gun- ther, loyal and valiant fighters for free- dom, died as bravely as they lived, be- fore the Hring squad. On the outskirts of the crowd was an old woman, bending feebly on her knees. She was praying. As the watch- ing crowd, with tears in their courageous eyes. listened to her, this is part of what they heard: G-and may Go-d have a beautiful home in heaven for those who die that we may live to see a better and a peaceful worldf, Dora Taylor ,43. MY BELATED POEM I completely forgot to write my poem, Until this very day, And now I'm in a hurry- And don't know what to say. I could write of lots of things, But they'd take too much time, So Iill say 'Hu revoirf, and sign my name, And end this little rhyme. Patty Knowles '46. A MOTHERS SORROW '.l'hc telegram lay open In the mother,s trembling hand Only mothers know the heartache Of a son in foreign land. THE ROSTRUM 27 Her son was killed, her only son, Her hope, her pride, her joy, Why did disaster fall on him? XVhy, he was just a boy. She prayed and ibowcd her grey head, Her heart was full of sorrow, How could she live another day Inst live to face the morrow. Oh, God, you are so cruel To take my son away, My faith is gone forever, Did I have it yesterday? I prayed for his protection This the day and this the nite, But now my faith is altered, Do you think that this is right? She thought of God Almighty And she lifted proud her head, If my son died for freedom, Then mysonis not really dead. Dorothy Lewis ,44. THE ISLE OF LIBERTY ln this big war-torn world of ours, A-t some unknown place, A person can find the quest of life, An an isle of peace and grace. This isle will be known for miles around, Where one and all are free, A place to which we all are bound, The Isle of Liberty. Pauline Skinner ,46. WRECK OF THE PAPER DOLLS They were treasures once-though of little cost, Now they are torn and their cloths are lost! All their losses, I never could mention Why they look as if they had been through a depression! They inighft have fought in a battle in- stead .Xud in that tussle, Snow-White lost her head. Cecile is the only one left of the Quins, The others inustive jumped out of their paper skins! Charlie McCarthy has lost his false chin Now whatill he do if he can't even grin? Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose Have gone back to England-I suppose! Now wouldnit it be fun galore, Il' I could bring them back and pretend once more? Madeline Knowles '44. OUR PAL, BRITAIN The people of Britain are fighting swell, The weak, the strong, the sick and the well, To how Hitler's head and an Englishman said, I say, old chap, I'll he glad when you are deadf, Their tea is seldom and far between, But they donit mind, not even the queen, Their children are barefoot, their cities are bombed, But with the Yanks on the march, it xvon't last long. Their food is going, their logs are boomed, But Britain will fight ,til Hitler is doomed, Revenge is ours and Victory too, So keep thern flying, for the Bed, VVhite and Blue. Mary Moore ,47. SPRINCTIME Birds aisinging in the trees, Squirrels chirping with the breeze, Flies 21,l1ll1T1lTllIlg ,round about, Trying to tease the speckled trout Who lurk in every shady pool, Where the water's always cool, Deer and rabbits together rush, To nip the buds from nearby brush, While nature uses her strange po-wer, ln growing every plant and flower. All of this and more too, Wlill happen when this winter's through. Carroll Moore ,44. 28 THE ROSTRUM MOTHER Laughing and happy all day long, Singing a song of cheer, Never a dull moment through the day, VVhile she was at her career. Cooking, sewing and mending too, Her work was never done. But doing things for her family WVas nothing to her but fun. Telling us all what to do Inst like a sister or brother, And if you havenit guessed her yet, She was my own dear Mother. Alfreda Hanscom 716.

Some bom'bs are very heavy, While some are very small, But the bomb that comes my way I don't want to be a bomb at all. We've dropped them over Germany, We've dropped them over Japan, We're going to keep on dropping them, As many as we can. So buy bonds, a million, To buy bombs and bombers too, And Weill lick Japan and Germany, 'lim just betting you. Roderick Moore 716. ? Sprung we all from simple dust, Born were we to gain a lust, To help the helpless in despair, To give the world our simple care. Live our lives, come what may, Do our duties all each day, Pave the way with what we gain, A life secure with neier a strain. Toil and rest, love and hate, NVill make sometime for us our fate, Do and learn what all we must Until we all return to dust. M. Michaud ,44. RATION STAMPS Hush. little ration stamp, Don't you cry!

A MODERN TRAGEDY She walked down the street with despair in her heart, Her features were twisted and torn, The sidewalk was hot and her feet were so tired, Her appearance was sad and forlorn. ,Tis wicked, you say, for a middle-aged ma'am To look as if she were to die, But you do not know for what reason it was, So I shall try telling you why. tion TIIE ROSTRUM 29 lt was only this morning that she left her home To shop for the food for today. She went to the butcheris, the groceris, the bakeris, But all of them turned her awayl She had left all her food stamps at home on the shelf- The stores had all closed everywhere! She hadnit the points, she hadnit the food, And all of her cupboards were bare! - so- She walked down the street with despair in her heart, Her features were twisted and torn, The sidewalk was hot and her feet were so tired, Her appearance was sad and forlorn.

San- gerville, as always, put up'a stiff fight and led the Panthers by one point at the end of the Hrst period. Then the Pan- thers drew away in the second quarter and continued lengthening the gap dur- ing the third period. The last period was more .evenly matched, but the lead which the Panthers had obtained proved more than enough.

The score doesn't tell the story, for F oxcroft came to Guilford a different team from the one that had been so badly beaten before. VVith F airbrother as coach, they had showed great improvement and the contest was expected to be close. Although Guilford led at the end of the first quarter by 10 to 2, the Ponies slowly crept up on them, trailing only by four points at the half. Halfway through the third period Foxcroft tied and passed the Panthers several times. The crowdwent wild. But as the period came to an end Guilford was again in the lead by 8 points.

The Bangor Rams kept a steady pace throughout the game and, although several times it looked as though Guilford was going to pass them, the Rams remained ahead until the end. The floor was too large for the Panthers, but nevertheless they gave Bangor a hard fight all the Way. The score at the first quarter was 10 to 5, and at the half 19 to 12.

At the end of the first period the score was 18 to 9. at the half 32 to 13, and at the third quarter 46 to 21. High scorers for YVatr'rville were Ioseph with 12 points and Mitchell with 11. Blake and Moore scored for Guilford with 10 and 8. This game eliminated Guilford from continu- ing in the tourney, while Waterville surged ahead to capture the State and New England crowns. PANTHER CHARACTER SKETCHES Rum. Cnoss, R. G. Cross. captain of the team, is more than indispensable. He is one of the coolest players witnessed by Guilford fans for a good many years, always knowing where to go and what to do. Although a defensive star, he gets many of Gnilfordis scores. As for popularity, Fati' ranks near the top. He is great fun and always appears friendly and jolly. His active part in other sports proves him an all-round athlete. DANNY Cuinulz, R. F. Not only is Danny outstanding as a basketball player but also as a friend. He is the cleanest basketball player G. H. S. has. He almost never fouls! On the Hoor his quickness makes up for the fact that heis short. He takes an active part in most all extra-curricular activities, and he is an excellent student-always having his lessons prepared. He is very popular both with the faculty and the students Cespecially the girlsfb In all he's a swell fellow. CARROLL lX10ORE, L. F. Moore is the heart throb of Guilford High School. Not only does he shine in the hearts of all the girls, but also on the basketball floor. Without him under the basket the Golden Panthers would be at a great loss. His height enables him to almost always grab the tip-offs and to get the baskets. This is his first year at basketball, yet heis already a star. YVith his classmates he is popular too. Heys president of his class and also a good student. 44 THE ROSTRUM FREDDIE BLAKE, C. F. Freddie, voted the outstanding ath- lete of the school, has proved himself well worth the praise he receives. And that build! lle makes 'em swoon! tWorse in Sinatra.! His left-handed shooting can't be stopped, and he crouches like a panther. Ileis done a lot to bring Guil- ford to the top in basketball. Prominent outside of basketball too, he has been president of his class for two years and will probably be drafted for a third term. He excels in other sports too. jo11N LEATIIEHS, L. G. with number 18, is no jinx to the basketball team. His swell defensive playing has made him an outstanding member of the squad. His height makes it possivbles for him to take the ball from the oppouentis blackboard and start the Panthers, olfensive. Remaining in the guard position on the offensive, he al- lows the other four to close in on the basket and keep the net hot. However, his ability to sink the long shots has also proven to us that he, too, is capable of scoring many points. He also takes his place with good students and is a good friend to all. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Six games were played for interclass basketball this year. The first between the Seniors and Freshmen was won by the Seniors, 55 to 19. The second, be- tween the Iuniors and Sophomores, found the Sophomores on top, 48 to 25. The third game again showed the Sophomores a better team, for they beat the Freshmen 53 to 20. The Seniors de- feated the Juniors in the fourth game by a score of 58 to 10. The consolation game between the Freshmen and Iuniors placed the Fresh- men as third best team in the school. They won by a score of 18 to 15. The championship game was the best of the entire set, and, after a hard fought bat- tle during which Cross, the Senior star, was fouled out, the Sophomores upset the favorites and 'beat the Seniors 35 to 34. It was one of the best games of the whole basketball season! PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical Education was started early in the fall and lead by Fred Blake under the supervision of Mr. Clark. It con- sisted of running and calisthenics and was held out-of-doors as long as the weather permitted. The classes then were held in the gym. The purpose of this program is to make the boys better fit when they enter the armed forces. It will be continued throughout the school year and will be held outdoors again in the spring. BASEBALL Baseball will probably be resumed this spring, as it has for years past, al- though there will not be as much com- petition as usual due to the present con- ditions. We have some good baseball material among our boys, and we hope to have a good team. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Gllzcmfgnn. Tea Date 24 27 Foxcroft tthere! Ian. 4 88 19 Milo tthere!

Coach Clark even played the second team part of the time. They did a good job, too. Aylmer Crafts, a sec- ond team member, was outstanding in this game. She went into the game at the last half and scored 17 points to be- come high scorer for the team. Score: Guilford 45, Milo 7.

INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Juniors couldnit recruit enough girls to make up a team for interclass, so the Freslnnen, Sophomores and Sen- iors -battled it out. The Sophomores and Seniors had the best material, so with- out any question the Freshmen were eliminated the first game. The Sopho- mores defeated them 28 to 4. The Sen- iors and Sophomores then fought it out in the championship game March 17. The Seniors were the victors and there- by school champs. The score was: Sen- iors 26. Sophomores 11. CHARACTER SKETCHES OF OUR PANTHERETTES fX1.1c14: XVILLEY Bill has played basketball during her four years in high school and has been a star forward.

Donna XVelts '44, COMME SA MAISON Le convoi alla lentement par la grande rue du petit village italien. Il fit tres chaud, et la poussiere des cent camions pendit dans liair. jean marcha a cote dfun des camions. Les epaules se pencherent, et il traina les pieds. Ce ne fut pas seulernent parce qu'il fut fatigue, quoi- qu'il nfeusse pas dormi pendant deux jours tandis qulon avaient combattu pour prendre ce village. Non, il ne fut pas fatigue. Maintenant il se fut habitue a co1nbatt1'e. Le convoi s'arreta lentement. -Nous aurons quinze minutes pour nous reposer ici, hurla un oflicier. Faites attention que vous ne marchez pas dans une trappe allemande. lean poussa un soupir et il chercha autour de lui comme la poussiere com- rnenca a se fixer. Les batiments furent construit du pierre et de l,argile. Beau- coup dleux eut les trous des projectiles dans leurs cotes. Les rues furent etroites, et il lui semble que les gens, qui demen- raient ici, n'avaient jamais entendu diun porche. Ce ne fut pas certainment comme sa maison. Cela fut ce qui l,agita. THE ROSTRUM 57 Il cherchait quelque chose qui lui rap- pelerait sa maison. Tout a coup il en- tendit un bruit dans la fenetre a Cote de lui. Il ti11t son fusil plus etroitement, et il regarda de l'eelat du soleil a l'obs- seurite de la maison. Une petite fille penehait cle la fenetre et le regardait gravement. -Bonjour, soldat. Vous etes un solclat amerieain. n'c't:'s-vous pas? -Oui. -C'est bon. --Comment savez-vous parler mon lan- gage? dit-il comme il eommenea a rechapper de sa surprise. -jiai appris a parler anglais des voy- ageurs qui passaient par ici. Avez-vous des bonhons? Les autres Americains avaient toujours beaucoup de bonbons. Les Allemands nien avaient pas. Au moins ils ne nous en donnaient jamais. jean ouvrit sa ration et chercha un morceau du chocolat. -Quel age avez-vous? dit-il -Moi, jiai sept ans. Mon petit frere a cinq ans. jiavais un frere aine aussi. je ne sais pas ou est-il. Maman ne me permettra pas de parler de lui. Avez- vous trouve des bonbons? jean donna le Chocolat a la petit lille et la regarda. Elle eut le meme air Comme sa soeur, Ruth. Elle a le meme age aussi. Il aurait aime a savior si Ruth s'etonnait ou fut son frere. -Comment vous appelez-vous? de- manda-t-il a la lille. -julietta. Les autres Americains miap- pelaient julie. Comment vous appelez- vous? --jean. Manquez-vous les voyageurs amerieains, julie? -Mais oui. Ils m'etaient tres gentils, et ils me donnaient beaucoups de choses. je ne sais pas des Allemands. Maman ne me permettait pas d'aller pres dieux. je ne sais pas pourquoi elle me gardait dieux. -Cietait la meilleure chose. -Mais les Americains sont retournes maintenant. Il ne faudra pas que je reste toujours a la maison. -Non. jean pensait ensuite cle Ruth. Elle serait eertainement miserable siil fallait quielle reste toujours a la maison pour se garder dies Allemands. Ou se conduirait-elle eonnne julie siavait conduit? jean ne sut pas. Il fut heureux quiil ne dnt jamais savoir. -Viendrez-vous dans la maison, jean? Maman sera content vous voir aussi. Puis jean entendit l'ordre que le convoi se mit en route ensuite. -je dois aller maintenant, julie. -Retournerez-vous quelque jour et viendrez-vous a me voir et miapporterez- vous plus de bonbons? -je l'espere, mais ne tracassez pas. Il y aura beaueoup diautres soldats et ils auront les bonbons. Le eonvoi se mettait en route. -Aclieu, soldat, et merei beaucoup pour les bonlbons, dit-elle avec un sourire. jean sourit aussi et liagita Ia main. Sois honne. je miarreterai a vous voir et votre famille si je retovrne par cetta route. je pense que je reviendrai bientot. jean marcha le long de la rue a cote du eonvoi. Il ne se sembla pas aussi poussiereux maintenant. Il y avait un gentil vent. Un oiseau ehantait ailleurs. I I mareha vite. Ce fut un peu comme sa maison. Les gens furent a peu pres de meme partout. Il sourit a lui-meme. julie fut eertainement beaucoup comme Ruth. Il penserait souvent a tous les deux. Ce serait un aller et un retour. Kay Lovejoy ,44. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economies Club started off with a bang this year. Miss Smith is faculty advisor, and a large number of members attended each meeting. Their officers are: President .,... ,,,, . .. ,... ,. ..,., joan Lewis Vice-President, ,...

During the basketball season the club prepared and served a supper, at which the squad of Rosary High School, Hol- yoke, and the home team were entertained. , Although the Homec Club, as has been the way with the other clubs cf C. H. S., has not had many opportuni- ties to hold meetings, We feel that on the whole it has been a success. The girls have got a lot of good and a lot of fun out of it. STUDENT COUNCIL Of course the most important organi- zation in our democratic school is the Student Council. Sixteen members, twelve from the High School and four from the Junior High, are elected by the various classes to represent them in the Council. Mr. Clark is faculty ad- visor. This Council makes decisions confronting the pupils and work for the grncral welfare of the school. This yearis officers were elected as follows: President . ,. . . Maxine Nesbit Vice-President . . Dora Taylor Secretary-Treasurer .. Aylmer Crafts Some of the various things that the Council has brought under way are the appointing of Donna Welts as Head Li- brarian, electing Loraine Lewis as Fi- nancial Secretary of the school, carry- ing on a March of Dimes through which S15 was raised and sent to the President, appointing committees for selling war stamps, and appointing committees to supervise assemblies and socials. The Student Council expects to travel to Augusta this spring to the State Student Council Convention, and there they will get good ideas for the betterment of the school. M. White ,47.

EXCHANGES No two year books are just alike, We naturally think ours is best, This section renders comparison IVith our '43 year book guests. At his desk, Mr. Ideal Yearbook was interviewing a representative from each of several schools. It was his job to select excerpts from each of these year- books which he would like to have in his ideal school book and he was also to deal out criticism which he thought would be to their advantage. The first to be interviewed was 1'The North Starf from Houlton, Maine. How do you do, Mr. Yearbook?v said N, ul have with me a copy of our yearbook which I think you will agree is very good. '1Lct me see it, pleasef, Mr. Yearbook picked up the book which had a very neat cover of black and white. KAI1, here's something that draws my atten- tion. This Service Honor Roll with a picture of Old Glory as the subject of Dedication is wonderfulf, 'cHow about our literary section? KN. S. asked. I was just coming to that. Looks pretty good. Let me read somef' After a few minutes Mr. Yearbook nodded his head. A bit of all right, lid say. Yes, I'll take that, too. Oooh, oh! I was just noticing your Senior section. For a school as big as yours I should think you'd honor your Seniors with a small individ- ual portrait of each instead of group pictures. Oh, yes, how about adding a miscellaneous division? Your book will be perfect when these changes are made. Thank youf Sf, replied. :Til talk it over with our board. With that he left and an applicant from Newport, Maine, by the name of Live Wirev was shown into the office. Hello, 'L. Wfv Mr. Yearbook cor- dially greeted. 'KI have already read your book and I want to start in by tell- ing you that your cover is also one to be complimented. I see that you have a very cleverly arranged snapshot sec- tion. This added very much to your book. Those humor and miscellaneous divisions were swell, too. I canit com- pliment you enough on the attractive ads you had. Those ads should make your advertisers very thankful they put confidence in youf, 'Thank you, Mr. Yearbook, but do you also have some criticism?', Oh, yes, just leave it to me to find something that just didnit suit my fancy I didnit like the arrangement of your ads on one side and printed material on the other side of a page. No doubt this must have suited your editor or they wouldn't have been there. But I would much rather see the ads in the back of the book by themselves. How about a few more poems and editorials to round out your literary section? I hope to see these few changes in your next editionf, The aLive Wire left, bearing in mind these suggestions, and The Windonianv was next shown into the ofHce. He had come all the way from VVindham, Maine. Ah, you're just the book I wanted to seef, Mr. Yearbook said with alacrity. 'The Rostrum, of Guilford High School wanted me to thank you for many sug- gestions they took from your swell book. You will notice these in their I944 edi- tion. They feel as though they were quite indebted to you. I liked your Ser- vice Roll very much, on which you placed the names of all in the service who ever attended W. H. S., whether they were alumni or not. This shows impartiality. Although your book desires nothing in structure and content and is as nearly perfect as any book I have THE ROSTRUM 61 seen, I have found but one faultf' nWhat is that?i' 'The Windonianv asked eagerly. Well, your group photos were not as clear as they should have been, but we cannot blame you nor your photograph- er, because those things just couldn't be helped. These group photos were the only things to be criticized, but we shall just let it ridefi The Four Cornersf, all the way from Scarboro, Maine, was next on the Wait- ing list. Mr. Yearbook noticed the effec- tiveness of the black and orange cover with the clear engravings. Upon looking more closely through the book, he no- ticed the compilation of servicemenis pictures, for whom the book had been dedicated. There was a snapshot of each of the alumni who at that time was in the service of our country. This page of pictures entitled 'These Are Worth Fighting For, is something that I have noticed to be original, since nonc of the other schools on my list have such an interesting division. Your 'The Serviceman Speaks, is highly com- plimentaryf, I Have you any suggestions for us, Mr. Yearbook? KT. F. Cf' asked. Only one. I find that a miscellaneous section is lacking and this always adds so much to the popularity of a school's yearbook. VVhy donit you add a section of this sort, containing school gossip, a popularity poll, a comic strip consisting of S. I-I. S. kids, etcf? They are very easy to do, and, as I said, they add immensely to the bookf, Mr. Yearbook next called in aThe Nautilusv from XVest Paris, Maine. As he looked through a copy of the book, he said: MT. N.,, I must congratulate you on the wonderful stenciling of your book. I know from experience that this is not easy to do, and when a few of your students can do such a wonderful job, without errors, I think we should all take our hats off to those typi-sts. The design on the cover should be given honorable mentionf: Mi: Yearbook, weire eager for any suggestions that you might be able to offer that will better our book. Have you any? uVVhy, yes. For the first thing, I would say to arrange your material differently. It was all mixed together in your 1943 edition. A separate section should be given for certain material. You had a fairly good amount of miscellaneous, but it was scattered. Why donit you write a little more about the Exchanges? The kids of G. H. S. would like to have you mention them next year. Any criti- cism for them would be greatly appre- ciated, too. Will you tell them what you think of their 'Rostrum,?,' The Pinnaclev from South China ap- proached Mr. Yearbook then. Mr. Year- at it a few minutes and offer you no criticisms for book looked said, HI can your book is pretty nearly perfect. Your very good and your edi- pictures are torial section is outstanding. Your humor and alumni sections took my eye, toof, Last on Mr. Yearbook's list was The Keystonev from Crosby High School in Belfast. The first thing he noticed was the clear pictures in the ibook. And after reading it he told HT. Kf' how well he liked the division of the book into class sections. c'The snapshots were interest- ing, too, and the stenciling was a won- derful job. Muzch credit must go to your typists. I noticed the lack of an Exchange Column. How about adding one? How about some poems to go with your swell literary sections, too? Your 'Freshmen at the Gate of Saint Peter' and other humorous divisions are very amusing r id interesting. We used a few of your itffias in our book. Thankslv MISCELLANEOUS Here are a few odds and ends That heho in the erection Of our year hook miscellaneous,', Which names this certain section.

WAVES Sidney Skitlington Mary Moulton ,40 Wilbur Trafton NAVY NURSE Phyllis Blethen ,32 THE ROSTRUM 69 LETTERS FROM FORMER G. H. S. STUDENTS Dear Mrs. Emery: , I received your 11ice Christmas card and I want to thank you ever so much for remembering me. Please excuse me for not writing sooner for I should have written ages ago. I was never much of a hand at letter writing, anyway. There are ever so many friends whom I,d like to write, but somehow I canit find time .and I'm really ashamed of it. I wish that I could tell you where I am, but due to censorship regulations it is impossible. I can say, however, that lim on a coral island in the South Pa- eiHc. There are acres and acres of cocoa- nut trees and dense jungles. It is very l1ot here most of the time. The mosqui- toes are fairly plentiful, so we must guard against malaria. There are quite a few natives, but all that we see are civilized. I am told, though, that back in the jungles there are some who aren't quite so civilized. As a whole, it isnit too bad here. I certainly wish that I were back in good old Guilford with all 1ny friends. lt must seem rather empty with all the 'boys in the service. I would give any- thing if I could be going to Cuilford High now. It just doesnit seem possible that it will be four years next june since I graduated. I made 1ny second class rating last month. which went into effect the first of the year. It is equal to a SfSgt. in the Army. Well, itis getting late and most time for taps so must close. Thanks ,again for the swell card. Sincerely, Charlie Larson, Class of ,40. Hospital Corpman School Norfolk Naval Hospital Portsmouth, Virginia Students and Teachers of C. H. S.: It is nearing the time for taps and I thought of a few words I would like to say to all of you back at school. It is really hot here tonight--a truly south- ern eve. I am looking at the lights over the bay and our radio' is going full blast with Kboogiev. I am thinking of what someone said to me awhile ago. It was a civilian. He said, GI feel so useless going to school while you fellows are fighting. I want to get out of school and get into the ser- vieef, My answer to this was my own opin- ion and facts that I have formed and seen happen. 'cDON,T LE AVE SCHOOL.,' Your education is the most important aid in the war effort. I have seen many eases since I have been in the Navy of men who canit get ahead and advance in rating simply because they l1L1VE:'ll,t a high school education. In any branch or field of duty you will want to, and you must advance to aid Uncle Sam. Only the men with an education are shown preference. ' Remember, you students, tomorrow's world is yours, and you must save it now and preserve it then. Cet your knowl- edge now and MBE PIIEPAREDC You teachers have an all-out job to do. You have the task of building and training the leaders of tomorrow. Aid them in every Way, as this will prepare them for their future work, whether as a civilian or serving in ' the Armed Forces. I know that you all will do your very best. Taps will sound in a few minutes now and the lights will go out. So before,I close, let me put in a plug for the U. S. Navy. To you boys and girls who are to join the Navy, or some of its branches, you will have the golden opportunity to 70 ' THE ROSTRUM use your education and to acquire more. In my estimation, no other branch of the service can, or does, offer what the Navy does. My friend, Phil Herring of Sanger- ville, is sleeping next to me, and he sends along word that he is fighting the heroic i'Battle of Virginian side by side with me. Letis hear from some of you back at the good old Alma mater. Harold L. jordan, S Qfc U. S. N. R., Class of 43. Laredo, Texas Dear Mac: I havenit written for a long time be- cause since Iive been in this Army all I think of is keeping out of trouble with officers and then completely forget the more important things. During the last of one school and the first of another they'll wash a fellow out and send him across for doing the least little thing wrong. If anyone tells you that Texas is a good place to live donit believe it. Either it,s cold and raining or so hot that itis uncomfortable. Right now it,s raining and Iill bet there is half an inch of mud on the barracks floor. As you know, La- redo is right on the border and 99.9976 of the population is Mexican. They speak Spanish all the time and the larg- est percentage of them don't understand a word of English. It is just like being in a foreign country. I haven't heard a dozen people speaking English on the streets since Iive been here. Even the clerks in some of the stores don't know English! I sure wish that I knew Span- ish. French is so much like it that Iim able to read many of the posters and advertisements in town. There are even shops that sell only Spanish written hooks and magazines. Laredo itself is just a small city with narrow, one-way streets and sidewalks in some places. VVherever there are side- walks they are roofed over so that the sun wonit shine on them because of the heat. 130 degrees in the shade isnit un- usually hot weather down here in the summer. I hope to 'be out of here a long time before then. The camp is so strictly run that 1,111 allowed hardly any time to myself. They keep us busy from 5:00 a. m. till 7:00 p. ln. School is from 7 a. m. to 12 and I p. in. till 5. I'm all finished for the day about 7 at night, or later. Then I have to study. Tonight live got 38 rules about plane identification to learn for a test tomorrow. I've got to get busy on them so I guess Vll close. Best wishes, john Scales. jacksonville, Florida Dear Pat: I received your letter and as you said was quite surprised, although my mother hinted that you would be writing me. Itis been over a year since I left good old C. H. S. and I have wished many times that I was back, especially since live joined the Navy. I think there's no- better place to be though if you have to be in the Armed Forces. I think of the kids back in school and keep up with all the activities with the aid of the Guilford Registeri' and the Panther,'. Of course, the thing that in- erests me most is the sports, but it all is G. H. S. and thatis of interest, too. live been lucky since I joined up, due to the fact that I've had my best pal, or one of my best, with me most of the time. Of course I mean Bill Taylor. VVe,vc been together quite a while and are in short distance now Cabout 18 milesj. so we still can get together for a good time once in a while. As for liking Florida, it's the best state Iive been in since I left, but home in Dear old Mainev still rates tops with me and always will. THE ROSTRUM 71 Of course Florida has its merits, namely, being able to be out in the sun a lot. I've actually seen it rain only once since I've been in this state. I'd like to be home though, because Christmas will surely be funny without snow, but I should kick, thereis lots of fellows and some of them from good old G. H. Sf, who are out there and have far less than I have and hereis hoping weill all be able to be home next Christmas and make np for the time we had to spend getting rid of the yellow japs and Germans. WVell, Pat, must sign off. Thanks a million for the Senior Play prog1'a1n. Give all the fellas playing basketball my best wishes and wish them all the luck in the world i11 retaining that 'ichampionship crownf, and the girls too. So long for now. As ever, a G. H. S. graduate, Edwin Knowles, Class of '42, Navy :f:j:l03 Med. Dept., cfo F. P. O., New York City, N. Y. Dear Mrs. Emery: I have meant to write to you so many times and just didnit seem to get to it. Truthfully, I donit remember whether I have written to you since I have come in the Navy or not and know that the only thing I can write you will be about myself, which is a very poor thing to do I suppose, but donit mean to be all ego. Well, I had to wait quite a long time before my orders came through for sure and then when they did I reported to Chelsea, Mass., the 6th of October, l942, for duty. I was there for nine months and enjoyed it a great deal. That january I had three days off and went to my alumni banquet in Bangor and in june I was granted ten days and after spending seven of them in Bangor and Greenville I was sent a wire that my orders were in and for me to report back to my station immediately. All trains and buses had left Greenville for the day but it happened to be on a Sun- day and lots of people were going back to Bangor after having been fishing. The game and fish warden got me a ride through to Bangor that night and the next afternoon I was in Chelsea. I was detached from there the following day and my orders read for Newfoundland. Sorry that I am not able to tell you just what place. WVe had to wait about Bos- ton for nearly two weeks for transporta- tion and then Hnally we came up by a government transport plane. It only took us six hours and it was a most gor- geous day. It was about the best I have seen since I arrived. I had a most pleas- ant trip but on landing here it bothered my ears a great deal. It was over two weeks before my hearing got back to normal. I had a cold at the time I left Boston and guess that is why I had so much difficulty. All summer it was ter- ribly foggy and rainy. Old Sol did come out a few times but was on other jour- neys other than here about three-quar- ters of the time. I feel that October was our best month. VVe have very little snow and the lawn in front of the nurses' quarters looks like one in Maine in late fall. The mountain tops are laden with snow and make a gorgeous view. We didnit have any snow here till the mid- dle of December and such a small amount then. The wind is simply ter- rific. I have never experienced anything like it. I bet that you have it much cold- er right there now than we do here. I have been out on lots of picnics and cooked dinners out-of-doors, rain or shine. Sometimes we hike, other times by boat or even station wagon. I have been aboard several ships for dinner and one of the ships we had a tour through after dinner was very interest- ing. The sick bay was especially fas- cinating. There are a couple of nice officers' clubs here and there are a lot of dances and parties every week. Wlien we first came up we lived on the Army side in 7:2 TIIE ROSTRUM one of the apa1't1nent houses, which was very nice, but the Navy has built us new quarters and we are all in love with it. It was beautifully decorated at Christ- mas. We had open house and all had a wonderful time. We are much nearer our work now, whereas before we had to have transportation to and from work and of course we were never ready all at the same time. This is my 12th letter, so will say goodnight for now and get a little shut- eye. Sincerely, Phyllis Blethen North Africa Dear Mr. Clark: lust a few lines to let you know I haven't forgotten you and good old G. H. S. I received some paper clippings and I see that the boys are doing O. K. in basketball. I hope they keep up the good work. I guess Guilford ought to take the championship again this year. It doesnit seem very long ago when I was at the games with you and all the boys. I spend a lot of my spare time thinking of you and basketball. It sure is a swell sport. Tell Mr. VVillis I was asking about him and tell him to write. By the way, howis school going this year? Itis pretty dull over here but we manage. Well, I must close now. Give my best regards to all the faculty. Kjakev fLawrence lordan, Sfcl Dear Mrs. Emery: Iust a few lines in answer of the note on the back of the Christmas card that you sent me. As you see my writing has not im- proved since you last saw it, but I hope you will be able to read it. Things are going quite smoothly since the Christmas rush is over. You see I work in the post office and we had two and a half months of steady work, but now we are back to normal again. Leave it to me to get an easy job. I keep in tap with the old town pretty well through my friends back there so you see I am pretty well up on the news back there, but that is not like being there and getting the news first- hand and seeing it happen. IVIILII kind of a basketball team is Guilford having this year? One thing sure it can't be any worse than the one we had in my senior year. Even if wc didnit win we always tried to give the opposition a good fight. Well, I guess this is it for tonight so I ivill elose now. Sincerely, Decky Littlefield, Class of ,4l.

T, THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE fEditor's Note: The material for this review was obtained from Rostrums,' dating from 1895 to 1923. Special thanks go to Mrs. Helen Williams, who gave us these booksj I was cleaning the attic the other day, and what do you think I found? A bunch of old Rostrums ! I began looking them over. The Iirst book I picked up was dated March 1895. Apparently these were published once a month. The edi- torial board for this edition was as fol- lows: Editor-in-chief, Charles Turner, Asst. Editors, Bessie Cole, Bessie Mac- Farland, Florence Warren, Harry Page, Carlyle Hussey, Grace Straw, Bessie Shephard, and Annie French, Business Mgr., Jas. Hudson: Asst., Stanley Marsh. The first thing that took my eye was an advertisement which reads: The Medical and Surgical Specialist E. HOLDEN, M. D. will be at the Turner House, Guilford, Maine, Rooms No. 1 and 2, for two Weeks from March 7 to March 22 CONSULTATIONS FREE Isu't that something? I think they had about iifty pupils in the whole school then. Among the alocalsi' that they printed it says: Bessie Cole has been absent from school for the past week on account of the illness of Another local: Will the her inotherfi author of the poem which was handed please call around and to the editor translate it to l1lITl?,, QDid they have that trouble, too?Q Hereis another one: Dur- ing the absence of the principal at the Iirst of the term, George Martin very ac- ceptably filled his positionf, CAnother VVillis, I betchaj The next book I saw was the April TIIE ROSTRUM 75 number of 1895. The only outstanding thing in this one is another ad. VVant to see it?

LITTLE SZ CO., GUILFORD, INIAINE tDid you pay attention to that, Herbie Galushaill The May issue seemed intent upon vacation. One local said: We learn that two of the pupils of G. H. S., Harry Page and Iames Hudson, intend to spend a portion of the summer in Ban- gor, the former to learn a few of the line points in barbering and the latter to take lessons in vocal and instrumental mnsicf' And say!

Bessie Cole was editor- in-chief and Carlyle Hussey was ibusi- ness manager. Bessie Ooleis editorial was very good. It was entitled Deserve Success and You Will Command It. She uses Lincolnis life as an example and really sets forth some good points. This edition had a swell literary section, too. There were also some prophecies about some of the students in this issue. This one says: GC. M. Crockett and A. 'I'raey, Iilsq., class of ,98, are on a cat- tle raueh iu North Dakotali' I also saw au ad that said that Iohn Scales 81 Co. had a drug store! Then I skipped to April 1896. In this issue I noticed that the students were trying hard to get money for a new school bell. I bet itis the one we have hanging in our hall. There was an edi- torial written on the need for a public library, too. I guess it was a successful eanipaign all right. Hereis a cute poem that they printed: METHUSELAH CMethuselal1 speaks to Mrs. Methuselahl Oh, dost thou remember our youthful hours, XVheu I was thy humble beau? we laughed and sighed in the daisy bowers 800 years ago? YVhen the brightest of futures before us lay, NVheu One hopeful, delicious track, When I was a dude not a bit blase? Some triiiing centuries back? thou now recall the fond days of yore, Canst Our travels o'er land and sea I was 154 YVhen And you were just 93? Canst thou summon up in thy mind anew The charms of our love divine, NVhen you were 272 And I was 5309? Ah! then how our love did supremely thrive, How we dwelt in a mutual heaven, YVhen you were 385 And I was 407. And can you recall in your present state, For old age makes memory sad, VVhen I was 888, The first spat we ever had? And how on my back you broke the sticks, A job that was neatly done, In the year of your life 806, And of mine 901? But we are nearing 1,000 now, my dear, We no longer are fresh and strong. Old age is beginning to tell, I fear, And we cannot linger long. 76 THE BOSTRUM All those happy days are hirexer pzisl, The happiest bards hare sung, And I see death coming with mind aghasl, Fordtis sad to die so young. l couldift find another book until Oc- tober 1896. Bessie Shepherd was editor and Harry Packard was business man- ager. The entire book was devoted to a description of Bowdoin College. I no- ticed in the Personals, as they called it, that Carroll McKusick had entered our fair high school in the class of ,98. The November issue had quite a few new and interesting things in it. The classified ads took my eye. Here are some of them: Wanted-Mr. Ross to bring an excuse when he comes in late. For Sale-One geometry, as good as new, but owner is weary of it. Apply at desk 1, row 3. Lost-A memory, be- tween G. H. S. and Citizen office. Finder please return to desk 3, row 4, and re- ceive a suitable reward for same. And here is something. In a very solemn block, edged in black, ap- peared these words: In Memoriam Algebra, after a year of torture, has departed from the ranks of the Iunior class. Interment will be at Sunk Haze Crossing, as soon as the weather per- mits. All the bereaved will please be at the funeral, held on Floor S, High School Building. fCute, eh?j The next BostrumD 1 picked up was dated Ianuary 1904. Harry Warren was editor, literary editors were Bessie Packard, Evelyn Oakes, Winifred Stod- dard, alumni editor was James Scales, business manager was Cecil Farrar, and his assistant, Raymond Davis. This issue was apparently the first after sev- eral years absence. No wonder I havenit got one for the years between 1896 and 1904! They started a basketball team this year. It was just interclass but anyway it was basketball. N. Scales, Ray Davis, E. Scales, Mark Fairbrother, Rollins, Farrar, Warren, Stoddard, and Scales were some of those who played. Under alumni 11otes 1 noticed: Carroll McKusick '98 is a student at Bates College. Miss Anna M. Stevens was united in marriage to Mr. Frank S. Aldrich of Providence, B. I., September 10, 1903. They will reside at Balvilere, Ill. On October 5 occurred the marriage of Mr. C. P. Turner and Miss Bessie Shephard. Miss Ione QC. Mooreis motherj, the ten-months-old daughter of Walter and Rena Bennett of Abbot, was awarded the first prize in the baby shows at both the Abbot and Parkman fairs last week. Bichard Pearson has a position with C. S. Bennett, jeweler. The poor students in 1904 struggled through Creek! 1914 is my next book. They started putting them out less after that, I guess. This one happens to be the spring issue. Say, did you know that John Foulkes was a Tonsorial Artist? I saw in this issue that Ken Field was in the Senior play. He was a butler and he supplied much of the comedy. This vear, 1914, but the first year that C. H. S. had a football team. Basketball Hour- ished, too. Hereis a poem which you of the class of '14 will probably be interested in to see how much of it turned out to be true. IF 1914 DON'T WATCH OUT I will tell you all about it, Tell you so you can not doubt it. Listen, what it's all about, You'll get a dig, If you don,t watch out. THER Cy is one of the flirty sort, Of girls, he now has quite a lot. He'll get a steady, without doubt, Say, Cass, is it you? VVe'll all watch out. When G. H. S. plays basketball, It's well they have a center tall. Although our Manley's stout, He gets the ball, Though they do watch out. Though Sarah is a Senior grand, She has a Sophomore well in hand Without a hat he goes about. Sall, he'll get cold If you don't watch p out. Sadie is our suffragetteg Does not believe in men as yetg But there's a lot we know nothing about She'll have a split skirt If we don't watch out. Although our Cass is far from slow, She's never had a steady beau, But jilts them all, we have no doubt, And, as for Cy, VVell, he'd best watch Out. For society, Bub never,ll care, To enter the ballroom, he doesn't dare. An athlete, he considers a lout, But he'll be one yet, If we don't watch out. Breaking hearts is Ida's lotg Many a youth has o'er her fought Her love for Craig isn't all up the spout, He'll have her yet, If Lloyd don't watch out. OSTRUM 7 7 This next book is dated 19215. I guess this was the first year that they did much with baseball. Here's a cute poem about the team: OUR BASEBALL TEAM Field, hc is our captain, And a good one he does make, But like all other captains llels apt to make mistakes. Gramp, he is our pitcher, And for curves he's got good brakes. But like all other farmers It's hard to find the plate. Brute, our right hand pitcher, Can certainly use his head, But when he tries to throw straight balls Ho throws a curve instead. Cuy, he's the first baseman, And I think he is a fake, But when he hits a home-run His gait will take the cake. Hamer, he plays second, And he's pretty fair, And the captain just told us His hitting put him there. Bob is our third baseman, He is good to make a run, But when he throws to Hrst, He bites oil half his tongue. Ray WVisc plays out in centeriield, He said to catch them is a snap, And if you don't believe it, just go and ask the Cap.', jack plays out in right Held And catches them like a man, But if the pitcher has any speed jack is sure to fan. George Kirk, our other fielder, Has the goods without a doubt, But when he takes his turn to bat, Then, pitcher, you watch out. Doc is our shortstop, And a good one he is, too. But I think he plays in luck, Like ll lot of fellows do. Rex is our clean-up man, For when he comes to bat, The pitcher cannot find the pan, Nor Rex, keep on his hat. 78 THE ROSTRUM Here are a couple of cute jokes that they printed: Miss Pfaff: If Macbeth were living at the present time, where would you expect to find hi1n?,' R. K. ,l5: In the electric chairf, The Seniors are suffering from the loss of two of their number. Two young ladies have recently been given front seats for their behaviorf' The Prostrums', are beginning to look something like ours. The 1916 book had the following article on Junior Speaking: On May 28 the trials for Junior Exhibition were held and ten of thc class, five girls and five boys, were chosen to speak at the public exhibition. The judges were Miss Hope Bux- ton of Abbot, Mr. Maurice Foss, principal of Monson Academy, and Mr. Herbert Bryant, principal of Sangerville lligh. This was the first time that a decision had been made by trials, but as we wished our exhibition to be the best possible and knew that a program of seventeen numbers would be much too long, this seemed the only fair way of elimination. I found two 19:20 issues. In the locals of one of them I found this clever little poem: THE BIG SEVEN The Big Seven are always in your sight Eyery morning, noon, and night: If their names you wish- to see I will write them here for thee: Charlotte Hudson, the singer of the class, Alvada XVilson, the girl with some brass, Doris Huff, the greatest talker, Rena Badger, the .fastest 'walker, Helen Briggs, so full of fun, Marguerite Cole, the slowest one, Charlotte Gilbert, a shy little lass, Although she's the pride of the class. i They must have had a goat instead of a Panther for the mascot because here's a story about the C. H. S. goat. It has the students' names in it. Clever, eh? THF. G. H. GOAT The G. H. S. Goat has broken his rope and escaped. In his flight he gobbled a Pages, of 'iFrench,,' which was on the floor in the corridor, knocked over a Baskettv of 'iColc, which was standing on the stairs and then made for the open air fAyerl. In a short time the keepers. Hulf,v Allen,' and 'iPearson,, discov- ered the Goat had escaped and they tracks down the street between the 'Taylori' shop and the Latujndry, across Max fieldf, around the corner of the Little fieldv to the street. Inst then Briggs,', driving a Hudson, Drewv up and when learning the trou- ble offered to drive the keepers around in search of the lost Goat. They drove along the street leading to the Square. and there discovered Mr. Coat quietly eating 'iBeanQels', from i'Crockett,s wagon in front of Gilman,s store. llonkl Honkl went the Hudsonv. The Coat looked and then made for an al- ley. The keepers a little HufffyY, threatened that when they found him he would get a good Whelanv. The keep- ers left the car and started back to the sehool. On arriving they found Mr. Goat quietly lying beside -the waste paper Baskett as if nothing had happened. and Badger, Murphy and Fitzsi.m- monsv were feeding him chocolates anf cookies. They were so astonished that all they could say was Now wouldnit that get your Coat'?', My last book is dated 1923. I havenit any up to that date. This was the year they did the most in the way of girls' basketball. C. H. S. lost all of the games that they played but anyway it was a starter in girls' sports. Stubbs, Genthner, Straw. Knapp, YVelts, IV:-lts, and Mgr. P. Lindsay made up the team. Henry Curtis was beginning his sports writing career by being sports editor of this yearbook. A couple of notices took my fancy: NOTICE: Correspondence between Senior girls and Freshman boys is hereafter to be strictly forbidden. Mayo '23 please take notice. School Vigilance Committee. l'lXl'iCUTlUNEI1'S NOTICE: This is to 8.11- nounce that I have a new sling-shot, equipped with highest grade Para rubber, and am pre- pared to execute at the following reasonable terms: Faculty members, 10cg Seniors, 7cg Iun- iors and Sophomores, 5c, Freshmen, lc.
