SENIORS HATTIE MABLE RICKER Midget Let thy words be few, thy wisdom great. Born July 23, 1918 Harmony, Maine General Course, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 43 Sec- retary and Treasurer of Class 23 Prompter of Student Council Play and of 1936 Graduation 33 Irene White in Aunt Hetty 35 Amy in Amy from Arizona 4, Valedictory. Here is the most studious girl in our class. But she also finds some time to fool with us. We had thought it must be dull to study all the time, but we found out that she doesn't, for once in a while we see her go to the window and wave her hand to a special car which is passing. Through some detecting we found that this car belonged to a certain young man from Dover, so that must be the attraction up there. Hattie's ambition is to be a teacher' and recent- ly she has been looking over booklets from Normal Schools so we have decided that she is planning to carry out her desire. We all hope you do, Hat- tie, for we are sure you'll succeed. Bonne chance. LUCILLE EVELYN TAYLOR uLuCiuSn, mlwourn Happy am Ig from ca1'e I'm free, Why aren't they all contented like me? Born October 23, 1918 Harmony, Maine General Course, Student Council 2, 3, 45 Class Secretary and Treasurer 43 Basketball 3, 45 Per- sonal Editor of Ferguson 43 Sally Parker and Aunt Hetty in Aunt Hetty 35 Cora in Amy from Arizona 45 Salutatory. Lucille is our good-natured classmate. Have you wonde1'ed who the young girl is to whom Mr. Lam- scn has to speak to often, saying: You in the back seat, be careful of that whispering or I'll change your seat. By any chance could it be Lu- cille? We have heard Lucille talk about taking a Beauty Culture Course. We hope she does, and in any case we wish her the very best of luck. Lucille, be careful of the JewsC?J won't you!! VIDA VIRGINIA FOWLIE Vi A merry heart and true. Born August 2, 1920 Harmony, Maine College Course, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 45 Class Secretary 13 Class Secretary and Treasurer 33 Basketball 2, 3, 4, Assistant Editor of Ferguson 3, Editor-in-chief of Ferguson 4, Ethel Ashley in The RedJHeaded Stepchildu 2, Ted Parker in Aunt Hetty 35 Laurette Hemingway in Amy from Arizona 4g First Honor Essay. Everybody is asking Why is Vida so studious? We have asked her many times but no answer, so we will have to guess! Vida has done very good work in basketball. Although she has not told us what she is planning to do, we wonder who the lit- tle fellow is that has her attention. We think that he is the reason for her going to Guilford so much. Best wishes, Vida. 17

aunt discover the deception? If so, how? What will happen to the roommate? to the nephew? Each student in the class wrote a story on the plot. This story was judged the best by the class members. No changes have been made by the instructor. PLANE GEOMETRY Geometry is a subject That's about squares, rectangles, and such, But although you study and study, It seems you just can't learn much. Parallelc-grams, quadrilaterals, and equilat- erals, They all have certain names, But as far as I'rn concerned, They all sound just the same. Then get over to circles, With radius, chord, and secant, VVhen it comes to learning parts of circles, I simply say, I can't. D0n't think that's all there is, There's the altitude, basre and area to find, And though you figure and puzzle, You just can't leave these behind. Now speaking of Plane Geometry, Oh, how could they call it pla'n ? Though it's study, study, study, It's always just the same. -A. Rowell, '39 MY STUDIES Each morning at eight-thirty I have to go to school, And stay there 'bout six hours, To figure, write, erase, and rule. The first thing is my algebra With X-y and a-2 , I really don't quite understand How letters fit in this, do you 'Z And then about nine-thirty My English class is due And I must study Ivanhoe And English composition, too. Then I study for two periods And sometimes kinda look Out the window and around the town And wish I'd never seen a book. But soon I hear the history bell, And then I have to learn 'Bout Hannibal and the men of old, Each man must have his turn. Just time enough to change my books For science is the next, I know I'll always be aware That studying is a pest. But each day I remember When bored with figures and olrations, That socn it will be June And then 'twill be vacation. -Norman Willis, Freshman ADVICE T0 UNDERGRADUATES Don't run up the stairs my children, We don't! Don't slam the doors, my children, We don't! Don't paste pictures on the wall, Don't skip up and down the hall, Don't disgrace the names of us all, We don't! Don't d'sturb your teachers while they work, We don'tl Don't ever show yourself a shirk! We don't! Don't stand in the hall and thus be late, Always be friendly, don't ever hate, Don't ever fight with a good classmate, We don't! Never seek rank you have not earned. We don't! Never forget what you have learned. We don't! Don't ever be late when you go to school, Don't get excited but just keep cool, Don't disobey the Golden Rule, We don't! Don't break the furniture in any room. We d0n't! Don't hide erasers or spoil the broom. We don't! Don't plan on doing just as you choose, Don't ever show you have the blues, Dc-n't alwavs be telling' all the news. We don't! Don't ever show yourself a flirt. We don't! Don't substitute ski pants for a skirt. We don't! Dear 'friends to whom these words are ad- dressed, Perhaps by now you may have guessed: That we always do as rules request, but- We don't! -THE MIGHTY SENIORS Editor's note: The Last of the Forgotten Tribe , Christmas Among the Pines , and The School Boy were written by pupils of Mrs. Grace Brown, English teacher. 16

SENIORS JENNIE THELMA 'FOWLIE Jen There is but one man in the world for me. Born August 16, 1918 Coles Island, N. B. General Course, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, Comical Country Cousinsl' 1, Class Editor Fer- guson 3, 4, Alumni Editor 4, Basketball 3, 4, Vice President of Class 4, Mrs. Van Snodder CD01- ly Mercierj in The ? Crime 3, Dorothy Saund- ers in Aunt Hetty 3, Mrs. Squeers in Amy from Arizona 4, Basketball Manager 4, Second Honor Essay. Jennie has been with us the last two years and we certainly have enjoyed having her. Jen has done excellent work in basketball-she can cer- tainly keep those forwards down! We have heard Jennie say something about go- ing up on Sugar Hill to live so we have our sus- picions of what she is going to do. Yet also she would like to train for a nurse. Whichever you choose, Jennie,-bonne chance! GEORGE NEWALL CHADBOURNE Chief It is ia friendly heart that has plenty of friends. Born April 18, 1919 Harmony, Maine General Course, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice President of Student Council 2, 3, 'President of Stu- dent Council 4, Assistant Business Manager of Ferguson, 2, 3, Business Manager 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Inspector Downs in The ? Crime 3, Rich- ard Morrow in Amy from Arizona 4, Class Prophecy. We have often wondered who is going to take George's place as business manager of the Fergu- son next year. Besides being a business wizard, George seems also to be the sheik of the school. George says little about his future plans, but we have seen him looking over material on electri- cal engineering. Though perhaps he'll go to Mon- tana instead. Whichever you choose, George, we wish you the best of luck. VAUGHN LEVI GIGGEY V-8 The quick mind is richer than a crown. Born January 26, 1919 Harmony, Maine General Course, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice President of Student Council 4, Assistant busi- ness manager of Ferguson 4, Joke Editor of Fer- guson 3, Sidney Carter in Amy from Arizona 4, Presentation of Gifts. We have certainly enjoyed Vaughn's dry re- marks and jokes. Vaughn is the- boy who wants to know why we have to study. We wonder if he now knows!!! t Although Vaughn has not told us yet what he is going to do after graduation, we think he will make a fine farmer, but whatever he attempts, we wish him loads of luck. 18
