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.

GAY NINETIES REVIEW 14-. 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
