STONE Frank Goodwin Stone, who took up the du- ties of the principal of Hartland Academy in September, 1943, was born in Lisbon Falls, Maine, in 1896. He attended the local schools there, being graduated from high school with the class of 1915. After graduation, he attend- ed Bates College obtaining his A. B. degree in 1919. He now possesses an M. A. from the same institution. Previous to his arrival in Hartland, Mr. Stone, resiided in Jay, Maine, where he was principal of the high school. He has taught science, history, civics, mathematics and vari- ous other subjects when the occasion demand- -ed. At H. A. he has several classes. in mathe- matics which he considers ,his favorite subject. His teaching career has taken him to Dover- Foxcroft, Ellsworth, Turner, Pittsfield, Jay and Hartland. Mr. Stone has several hobbies, of which traveling and hiking are foremost. He is al- so interested in photography and he has done some developing in the past. The Stone family consists, besides Mr. Stone, of Mrs. Lillian Stone, who has assisted in the teaching staff during emergencies, a lson, John, in the Naval Air Caldetsg a son, Raleigh, and a daughter, Ethel, both attend- ing Hartland Academy. , -Myrtle Lovely '45 T0 THE FARMS! We have recently seen a large part of the lboys who were deferred for farm work, re- classified and inducted into the armed forces. A great number of these boys were farmers' sons and others who had taken the agriculture courses in the local high schools. They knew their farming. Now it is an accepted fact that an army marches on its stomach , and our fighting men would be a sorry sight indeed, were their food supply to be cut off. Starvation, resulting in defeat, would be the obvious result. If our great military leaders deem it necessary to take the farm boys and turn them into soldiers -....-....-....-....-....-....-- -....-....-. - - -..-....-..-..g and sailors, we on the home front should so modify our way of living that we can give all the aid possible to the farmers. An emergency in farm labor is here now, we must not let in get worse while we are strong and alble to help, A large number of the students of Hartland Academy are from farm homes. They under- stand the growing and :harvesting of' crops raised in this part of the state. Many of them can already be classifiefid as skilled laborers. Others from town are taking the vocational Giving assistance to the farmers courses. would be of great value to them in experience. If we should lose this War, an education would be meaningless. I think that our school program sfhould be modifiedl, if necessary, to permit every one of us to do our full share in the great job of producing food for our fight- ing forces, for home consumption, and for our Allies. -Madeleine Hughes '45 SHALL WE MODIFY THE SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL WORK? Should the school program be modified to permit pupils to engage in emergencey agri- cultural work? I do not think so. The school 'program has been modified enough already to permit sufiicient agricultural emergency work, at least for this area. As the program now stands, pupils are dis- missed from school to help on farms only as individuals, not as a whole school. That is as it should be. If the whole school were excused, and the pupils were allowed to find their own employment, half of them wouldn't go to work at all. As the program is functioning now, the farmer gets only the number of workers that he wants and no more. Some school children, even when they do get work, are not worth the bother of hiring them. They usually start working about ten o'clock, after having fooled around getting ready for three hours. Then after two' hours of half work and half horseplay, they knock off for lunch. Instead of taking the usual one hour -I 10 1- nooning, they require about twice that time. A half hour of this is spent in eating, and the other hour and a half are accounted for by games of hide-annd-seek, wrestling and various similar diversions. At two o'clock they are about ready to work. At three, they start the corn, potato or apple fight--which continues until four when all are anxious and ready to go home. That is one thing that there is no hesitation about doing. These, in my opinion, are all faults of per- mitting groups of school children to work to- gether on the farms, particularly under the excitement of freedom from school routine. Speaking as one who has participated in such work, if it can be called that, I think that I speak authoritatively on the subject, although I may be guilty of some slight exaggeration. Raleigh Stone '45 HOW SHOULD DEMOCRACY FUNCTION IN EVERYDAY SCHOOL LIFE? As every American knows, the great patri- otic speeches made by our famous countrymen 'have been based on the ideals of self-govern- ment. They have inspired our nation with the promise of equal rights. The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was foremost in minds when they fought the bat- tles of the past. Now, in the great battle of the present, the bitterest that has ever fallen upon us, may we show, with all our ability, how much we value our freedoms. In order to be victorious and to provide se- curity in the years to come, people must be wise. They must be educated. The youth of today will be fulfilling the task of putting this nation back on its feet, anld their ability Will depend almost entirely upon their amount of education. To get the m-ost from the time spent in school, it is necessary to have the cooperation of all students. Some students cannot take orders gracefully nor happily. They cannot understand that it is for their benefit instead of a teacher's that they must do an assign- ment. Since many boys and girls are employed outside of school hours, it is only natural that their attention is not wholly on lessons dluring school hours. However, in cases such as these, it is all the more essential they concentrate with all their will while in the classroom. A complainer who is finding fault incessantly ought to know he has no place in any society today. All of those who tend to stir up trouble are definitely not wanted. Not only is cooperation with teachers stress- ed, but also the importance of working to- gether as a group. Individuals cannot expect satisactory results unless each one is willing to work for the good of the class and the school, as well as himself. May the prankster outgrow his childish tricks, the impolite learn to practice good manners, and the uncouth practice treating others with the respect due them. When these faults can be corrected, all can begin to have promise and faith of fine accomplishements. This is a call to all American students. Among the vast numbers that attend schools daily, there cannot be one who is not touched in some way by this war. Realize your -duty now and let your school be an example of a fine and democratic organization. -Delma Smith '46 DEMOCRACY IN SCHOOL In Webster's dictionary we find the word democracy to mean a government in which the supreme power is in the hands of the people, who exercise it either directly or through their chosen representatives. That is an ideal way for a school govern- ment to work. As most schools are too large for every student to participate directly in the government, representatives should be elected from each class. These representatives would bring forth the varied ideas anld opinions of their classes. The ideas would be dis-cussed with the entire group and then voted upon. The whole system should be run in a simi- lar way to our national government. Many rsclhool children, however, have the wrong idea about democracy. Generally they think that as long as this is a free country, they can do as they please. This is the wrong attitude. We all know that if we did as we chose all the time, havoc would result. Through the system previously mentioned, I believe all school problems such as discipline, schoollactivities, and any other problems which are ,sure to arise would be settled by repre- sentatives of the student body. If the pupils in the schools were taught the principles of democracy and to appreciate the privileges which they have under this rule, I am sure the school would progress much more smoothly. Keith Cunningham '44 -I 11 1.. CENTRAL MAINE REGIONAL CAREER CONFERENCE This year a career conference will be held April 10 at Maine Central Institute. The con- ference is being conducted in 'order that stu- dents may have an opportunity to hear vari- ous careers discussed by people well qualified to speak of the opportunities, requirements, advantages and disadvantages of certain vo- cations. Mr. Dana Cotton, state director of vocation- al education had planned to bring an out- standing group of speakers to M. C. I. for the occasion. Among them will be Mr. Harry Gilison, commissioner of education, who will speak in the general session, Dr. Payson Smith, in educationg Mr. Carl Smith, commis- sioner of agriculture, Miss Florence Jenkins in home economics, Mr. Austin Alden in trades for iboysg members of the armed serv- icesg and representatives from the State de- partments. All the secondary schools of this region have been invited to attend the conference. If all who are invited attend, the number will be approximately three hundred. Students from Newport, Corinna, Dexter, Plymouth, Clinton, Albion, Unity, M. C. I. and Hartland are ex- pected to be present. Some of the topics to be discussed are: avi- ation, stenography and typing, radio, farming, forestry, all kinds of mechanics, military service, beauty culture, accounting, electricity, home economics, various- fields of medicine and nursing, journalism, teaching, art, plumbing, banking, clergy, social work, and various types of engineering. The Juniors and Seniors are looking for- ward to a most interesting and novel day. -Myrtle Lovely '45 JUNIOR RED CROSS 'Dhe Junior Red Cross held its first meeting November 7, when Mrs. O. P. Pierson, chair- man of the local Junior Red Cross, came to the academy to organize. the group. She gave us many ideas and suggested various projects for us to do during the 'school year. During the meeting the following officers were elect- ed: President, Helen Mooreg Vice-President, Floyd Austing Secretary, Arthur Chadbourneg and Treasurer, James Mills. The committees chosen were: Publicity Committee Rae Jean Randlett Barbara Ross Program Committee Virginia Wheeler Keith Cunningham Collection Committee Harlow Powers Donald Nichols John Moore Ivar Pearson Raleigh Stone We were very fortunate to have Mr. Somer- ville, chairman of the Salvage Drives in Maine, speak to us. He told us the value of the Red Cross and the necessity of the various salvage drives. When one really understands the vital need for wastepaper, tin cans, and rags he is more interested in making a whole hearted effort toward a salvage campaign. Besides its annual membership drive, the Junior Red Cross sponsored several salvage drives durfng the year. The following amounts of material were collected as of March 5. Waste Paper 6,540 lbs. Rags 265 lbs. Aluminum 35 lbs. Tin cans 1 ton A small amount of waste fat was also col- lected before the point system of paying for it was established. The money received from these collections is to be used for civic pro- jects in the town. -Helen Moore, '44 WE BUY BONDS AND WAR STAMPS Eash Tuesday morning, called Stamp Day , money is collected by representatives of each class for the purclhase of war bonds and stamps. The students of Hartland Academy purchasedw a jeep that was presented to the United States Army before the second anni- versary of Pearl Harbor. On the jeep was placed a plaque which read, Presented to the United States Army by the students of Hart- land Academy through the purchase of war bonds and stamps. 51187.95 was paid toward the jeep. We hope one of our own H. A. sol- diers will ride in that jeep some day. The students have also purchased a Minute Man fiag, which is to be flown beneath the United States Hag each month that ninety per cent of the students participate in the drive for war bonds and stamps. A Hartland Academy is now purchasing a field ambulance which costs S1,780. We need only S140 more, so the field ambulance should be paid for by the end of March. We have had a very successful drive this year with the help and upport of the newly -I 12 1- formed' Victory Corps Council. Up to the date of March 21, the students and faculty have ,purchased war bonds and stamps to the total of S5,141.00. ' -Arthur Chadbourne '46 RADIO CODE Radio Code was introduced to Hartland Academy this year. It consists of learning the International Morse Code. A chart of the let- ters in the alphabet and numbers 1 to 10 with their phonetic equivalents was supplied to 'each pupil in the class. Then a record of five letters was played over and' over until we were able to distinguish the various arrangements of sounds. 1 At first it all seemed very strange and diffi- cult, but very interesting. New records with different groups of letters and numbers were played until we learned all of them. Then we began to work for speed. We started with six words a minute, then gradually increased to eight, then ten and twelve words. Of course, the more words per minute, the more diffi- cult everything becomes. One really has to keep on his toes anld the pencil literally flies over the paper. This course is very beneficial to anyone taking it, especially to the boys leaving for armed services. The International Monse Code is used so extensively, that it is an excellent bit of knowledge for anyone. At the completion of the course, one is sup- posed to be able to send and receive twenty words per minute. However, since we have had comparatively little practice in sending this year, we are not expected to reach this level in sending. In the milddle of the year, we began study- ing fundamentals of electricity along with the code. This subject taught us the construction and functions of the telegraph, batteries, and many other electrical devices. Such knowledge is valuable in itself, and particularly in con- nection with Radio Code. -Helen Moore '44 THE HOT LUNCH PROGRAM The Parents' Community Club, consisting of fparents from Hartland and the surrounding towns, was established January 18, 1944. The primary purpose of the club was to introduce and retain a hot lunch program for the school. The following ofHcers were elected: Presi-dent: Mr. Merrill Moore Vice President: Mr. Ray Spaulding Secretary: Mrs. Pauline Jamieson Treasurer: Mrs. Lillian Stone A sum of S82 was contributed by the em- ployees of H. C. Baxter and the Hartland Tan- ning Company. On March 2, a box social was this held at the Academy to raise funds for cause. The social was a success and S50 was added to the treasury. Arrangements were made to hire the llowinf persons to carry on the actual work: Mrs. Fidela Gowen as cookg Mrs. Bertha Moore, Mrs. Eunice Randlett, and Mrs. Thelma Brooks as assistants. On Mon-day, March 20, the first hot lunch was served to the pupils of the Hartland schools. The program at present accomodates 2215- students. Through State Aid, which now amounts to approximately 38 per cent, students may ob- tain hot lunches at a cost to themselves of 75 cents per week. If possible, the amount will be lowered later. This new community project is greatly ap- preciated by the student bodyftheir only re- gret is that it wasn't done long before. -Achsah Farrell, '46 fol- ...I 13 1..

Snow covers the chilled grass with a new beauty. In the early morning when that first storm is over, you feel as if you were in dreamlan-d or in some far-off wonder- place. In January the snow weights the naked elms and the green firs, it makes funny white on rooftops and fence posts. The trees as if they were coated with a white caps look southern moss. When the sun rises slowly over their high tops, they begin to glisten like some evening! garment covered with silver. The distant hills and valleys look like a land of riches as they gleam with their diamond beauty. When one thinks of the steaming jungles, the muddv beaches, and the iighting Japsl, the snow is like a cold cloth for an aching head. To our boys in Italy and Africa where they toil in the blistering heat and live in muddy foxholes, this is a lanld of wealth. Over there one does not see his small rooftops heavy with long shining iciclesf that make one think of the candles at an altar. They miss the windows covered with a heavv frost that pictures designs as intricate as the tracery of antique glass. You cannot helu but drink in all of this lheautv that you behold. As I look at those far off hills, my eyes. cling there as if in turning away it would all be lost to eternity. Here worries and cares are forgotten tempor- arilv in the ecsftacy of a glistening world. It's pleasant, too, to go to bed at night and listen to the driving snow and howling wind. Here we know that there are still such things as freedom, security and lasting peace. -Joyce Thompson '44 GIL, OUR SOLDIER In France there ist a grave-one which is markeld hy a faded cross and serves as a re- minder that Sgt. Gil Randall died for us in World' War One. In Africa, a lone pilot circled albout. As far as he could see, there were only desert sands iuninuinninnqnn--nn--I -un1.mu1uu..nu1un1nn1n-.n....g1n!. stretched before him like a vast ocean. The sky was very dark with no moon at all, and the stars ,seemed to be hidden. Gil dared not attempt to larud because he did not know whether he was over friendly or enemy territory. Earlier in the evening, Gil had become separated' from the rest of his squadron when they had been attacked by German fighter planes. The ship had been badly damaged, but a skillful pilot kept it in the air. Communication by radio was impossible since the enemy would pick up the message and learn his position. Gil's only hope was to locate the American line and glide his plane to safety. With the plane in such a condition and the gas supply so low, Gil realized that only a miracle could save him. Uncertain as to the location of the enemy line, Gil circled' about trying to decide which way to turn. The compass had been smashed lby a German bullet which pierced the front of the plane, barely missing its pilot. Suddenly, there came a blinding Hash fol- lowed by a terrific explosion which seemed to rock the earth below. Cannons roared! Everything below sprang into action. There was so much confusion beneath that no one noticed the plane as it soared nearer the en- emy line, now clearly evident. Dimly outlined against the earth there was a clear cut line of tanks, guns, and other ma- chines of warfare. Directly in the middle of that line was a dark mass which extended for some distance. In fact, it must reach near- ly to the American line. This portion of the battlefield seemed to be rather quiet. Then Gil rememlbered that this was a line of shruab- bery. Neither foe had dared use this pathway for fear of a surprise attack. Why! there were lights moving along this pass! What was up? At once it came to Gil-the Germans were trying to break through the American line! If the Americans advanced, they would split and go on either side of the shrub line, thus giving the Germans a chance to plant machine gun nests in the center of the American line, and by careful planning even attack from the rear. 1I: 16 11 So that was the scheme! Life meant abso- lutely nothing to Gil. He was willing to die in order that others might live. If he could just get to the end of that line before his supply of gas was gone or the motor failed. Ah! there were no more moving lights. Gil turned the plane and. healded -straight for the invad- ers, giving them a shower of bullets as a warning. It fdid not take long to get a reply. The hand machine guns barkedg they had spotted him as he turned to face them. Some of the bul- lets missed, but others found their mark! Gil had carried out his plan-he had uncovered the trap of the enemy which would have like- ly meant defeat to his fellows. Now there is another cross in the battle- field-a new cross in a new battlefield. It reads: Lt. Gil Randall, Jr. who, as an Americanxsoldier went beyond the call of duty is greatly honored as a hero by his countrymen and will not be forgotten. -Achsah Farrell '46 Over There Monday Morning Dearly Beloved , No letter today g have you forgotten so soon?

Have you ever been in a telephone exchange office? If not, you certainly 1don't know what you've lbeen missing. Why don't you start right now to your nearest exchange? At the sight of the switchboard, do not be alarmed. It has not been known to bite, al- though it does give some pretty hot argu- ments occasionally. The first thing you will notice is the operator constantly repeating, Number please? Have they answered? Pm sorry, I'll ring again. She probably im- presses you as being very polite, but you should hear what the subscriber says to hier! For her politeness she may receive such re- sponses as this: H506 and don't take all day albout it! Then perhaps after four or five minutes of insistent ringing the subscrilber will say, If tired, will you ring again ? and no answer, you aren't too the blame for at a telephone exchange. If a person receives the wrong num- ber, it is automatically the operator's fault. It couldn't possibly be that the caller gave her the wrong number. The operator has to take everything that goes wrong Besides the haughty remarks, which, of course every operator must contend with, she must be a traveling encyclopedia for the sur- rounding country. Here are a few items which any operator should be familiar with. First of all, she should know the numbers of all the telephones in the state. Then she should iknow the prices of all the latest hair-dos, who was operated on at the hospital, who has just had a baby, whose father just died, who eloped last Saturday night, and all the rest of the local gossip and scandal. When the fire alarm rings, everyone within a radius of fifty miles has to know where the fire is. It makes no difference whether they can get to the fire or help in any way, they must call central just to be sure. Then, of course, the same alarm is usually sounded at seven A. M. as a no-school warning. The op- erator then goes frantic telling every child from five to twenty-one that there is no school. Naturally, they are so pleaseld that they say, Huh? , just to hear her repeat the good news. This is all highly entertaining to the busy operator. Of all the subscribers, the worst ones are those that never know the number. Really there is no excuse for this because every one has a directory or can easily obtain one. It's just too much for some people to use the di- rectory. Here is what often happens. The op- erator will say, Number please? The sub- -I 17 J- scriber will answer, I want Mr. Smith's res- idence, the one that lives in the brown house on that street over there. Of course, that is extremely defiinte information. The operator feelgf that perhaps she is a trifie dense this morning so she asks for additional informa- tion. The reply is apt to be: Well, for hea- yen's sake, don't you know anything? I should th'nk they would get some operators that knew something! The operator bites her tongue for sticks it outl, but politely says, 'Tm sorryg I'll try to find the number for you. In the distance you can hear the sub- scriber sputtering away about such terrible service. It is most interesting to be a night opera- tor. You hear the day's gossip hashed over and over againg you can listen in on the long distance callsg you may even find time to call up a friend of your own. But eventually, you decide it's safe to attempt a nap. Whango! the night alarm goes off and some person with no consideration for the operator wants to know the correct time, The easiest answer would certainly be a grouchy Time for you to be in bed! But very politely, instead, you say, Exactly 2:07 A. M. Many conscientious operators are beaten before they begin, hut many, even after twen- ty years of such cruelty, can still say polite- ly, and even enthusiastically, Number please? -Keith Cunningham '44 il .i- THE RIGHT T0 LAUGH Laughter in the United States is something that has been fought for through genera- tions. The gurgling laugh of the blue-eyed ba- by as he sits contendedly in his crih in the early May sunshine: the laughter of school chilidren as they fill the streets in the late afternoons: the cracked laugh of an old, white-haired couple as they look through the old snapshot album,-all are tr e a s u re s. Laughter is what America is built of. Every day, yes, a hundred times a day, a laugh fills our face and heart. Today the greatest iight of all is being fought for the right to laugh. The Americans are a sentimental people and they are proud of it. We laugh and cry about things in spite of the scorn of other countries. But it makes us stronger, for should we ever lose the right to our senti- mentalities, we would fight with all the soul -I for our wonderful country, until that right was regained. Today from our war-torn world there are homes from which all laughter is gone. People have had the laughter torn from their hearts to be replaced by bitterness and tears. All over the world homes are sad, robbed of joy 'by the selfishness of dictators or the necessity of sending their loved ones, to quell the am- bitions of dictators. America is filled with homes like these. Yesterday at the post office as I glanced over Mrs. Murphy's shoulder and saw the words, The government regrets to inform you that your son... I knew that another heart had had its laughter cruelly wrenched from it to be crushed and trampled to extinc- tion. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy had only Johnnv, and he was so young, hardly eighteen. But do we realize what a priceless thing was taken from this couple besides their son? The power to enjoy everyday existance, the capability of a smile spreading over their faces at trivial homely things-these are gone w'th their precious possession, Johnny. It isn't the people of this generation who are losing their laughter, for the boys will try to smile as they go into battle. It is rather the last generation. who are mothers and fathers now, that are bearing the loss. Someday the laughter will return to ns. Life will he simple and enioyaible again. Parents will see their boys grow to manhood instead of being cut off at the ouick of life. This day can come only when the papers and radio: scream. Unconditional Surrender! The na- tion will go Wild. bells and chimes will fill the still air. people will dance in Times SUVTPTE and Fifth Avenue. The srmall towns will he filled again with happiness. The neonle who have given their sons will think it was almost worth the sacrifice. Then. and only then. will the right to lanrrh be wholly regained by the American people. -Marilyn Mills '46 HOMECOMING The soldier sauntered. it' it is possible to sminter with a wooden leg. along a street in Brooklyn. He kept looking about him intent- ly and breething-deep! He had a look of serene peacefulness on his face! As he walked on slowly, a trifle awkward- 18 1- dy yet, he thought, Gee, it's wonderful to be home. Home! Maybe he hadn't learned the meaning of that word during the past two years of fighting. How quiet it seemed. Why, even the noise of the elevated and the remem- bered roar of the sulbway seemed quiet be- sides the guns' roar that he was accustomeid to now. It's nice to be able to walk securely and not have to keep looking behind, always expecting' one of those slant eyed .laps to pop you off. What's the use of reliving that hell? Nights were still full of nightmares. He wondered how long it would be before he could fully realize that he was home, and safe! Funny, people are so understanding about the leg. They don't pry about with questions of how it happeneld, and did it hurt, and all that stuff. But then, that's the American peo- ple, the people that he gave the leg for. Any- way, it's a help to avoid' all those questions because it's hard adjusting to being home. Ann is swell about it too. In fact, she and Mom are most swell of all. S'pose the people who love you would naturally be. Here's the corner. Remember the fun with the boys playing marbles here? Golly! How we did hate to go on to school after the noon hour here. It was a perfect corner to play marbles on. The hole for the pot was gone, but memory puts it back completely, right where it belonged. Well, almost home now. Mom and Ann will be waiting and anxious. Mom said not to hurry, but she'll want him there for dinner. Mom's dinners-another thing worth fighting for, and boy, were they good? -Beverley Wood '44 MY FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE Never, if I live to be a thousanld, shall I forget my first airplane ride. It held excite- ment and more sensations than anything I 'had ever experienced. Did you ever ache to do something that you were scared to death to do? And did your skin ever get all goose pimples and your teeth clatter on the hottest day of the year? If you've been through that, you'll know exactly how I felt. I made my first ascent in Bangor. The plane was, a large one, capable of carrying seventeen or eighteen passengers. Anyway, I seemed to be all rigiht until I saw two or three people come down. They said they wouldn't advise anyone to go up just then, so I didn't feel so gay. At that moment of indecision, the man who opened the door -I don't know what you'd call him-pointed his finger at me and shouted, Nez-rt! I hoped that the ground would open up and swallow me on the spot. The ground 'did tremble a little, or was it my kneesm? Encouraged by the shaking. I stood a moment waiting to be swallowed up. No such luck, however, and in another mo- ment I was actually inside the thing, holding hands very tightly with myself. I silently -thought I would like to swap places with the lowest creature on earth. I' gave one long last look at the surrounding landmarks. and thought of all the good times I had had there. Then we were starting skyward. I distinctly remembered eating breakfast that morning. so I can't account for the hollow feeling in the bottom of my stomach. To my intense relief, it was great fun after the first few moments of anguish. Neverthe- less, throughout the trip I didn't trust myself to let go of my own hands! When we came down, it was too soon for me. An airplane ride is like an oliveg you have to learn to like it -Ivan Crocker, '44 WAR Johnny crept as quickly as he could, without taking the chance of being seen, behind' a vacant shack. He hoped his enemies hadn't seen him, for it would surely mean destruc- tion of him.. It was he against a battery of perhaps fifteen. What chance had he? He sat down on the damp ground and breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn't seen him! He sat there motionless for five minutes, his gun ready to shoot if he heard the slight- est movement. I gotta go on, he thought. He had run only a few yards farther when the bullets whizze-d around him. One struck his leg, and he sank to the ground. He threw his gun a few feet from him as several soldiers gathered about. They ordered him to march toward a small hut in the dis- tance. He limped ahead of them. They shoved him through the door. The masked chief made his voice ve1'y gruff when he spoke. Search him for hidden wea- pons, and then to Johnny, Have you any- thing to say before you are courtmartialed? Nothing, he answered meeklyg but when -E 19 1- they started to search him, his fists :began to fiy. Tain't fair! one cried out. No sir!, shouted another, He's supposed to let us shoot him down. The leader, a red-headed youth pounded his fist on the desk. 0rder! he shouted, Rat, we're going to do something worse than shoot you. We're going to starve you and then hang you. So there! Johnny looked at the old clock on the shelf. Jeepers, five o'clock! Maw'll kill me if I ain't home for supper on time. I'll see you guys after school tomorrow and we'll play war again. -Ruth Pearson, '46 A TEST BLACKOUT Oh! I must hurry with these dishes, thought poor Mr. Peabody, whose wife is in the WACS, Or I will be late for the Black- out. Today was Friday the thirteenth, and Mr. Peabody, who was very superstitious had dreaded the day. Not only had he cut his fin- ger but he had also burned the meat to a crisp. While he was drying the last dish, the Blackout signals blew. He was an air raid warden, and he always responded immediately to the call. He began shaking and trotting around like a hen scurrying after her chicks. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Where did I leave my wraps? he whimpered. Everything went well until he had gone three blocks up the street. There he saw a house aglow with lights. He started up the walk bolldly when he heard a sudden barking and roaring. Instantly he wheeled and ran like mad. When he reached the security of a distant street corner, he stopped, and thought, I must put those lights off: it is mv dutv. Back he went, and sneaked along and out be- -hind the house, when something struck him sharply over the eye. It was a clothesline post. Giving the task up as an impossible iob, he went back to the street and shouted. Put out those lights! He stood there and saw them extinguislmeld. With this mission accomplish- ed, he commenced running away because a horrid monster in the shape of a tiny bulldog was chasing him. He continued his work with a few mishaps, and then saw more lights. He rushed up to the house and shouted for the inmates to put out the lights. With no results he crept up the walk watching carefully for a dog. He rapped on the door, but got no answer. At last he wrote down the number in disgust, and walked away, swearing at ineiiicient people. over, he went to After the Blackout was headquarters to make his report. He claim- eld loudly that the persons living at 237 Elm Street should be lectured severely as to the rules of a Blackout. Anyone who takes no interest in a Blackout or forgets and goes away leaving the lights on, should be penal- ized. When he had finished, the chief turned to him, and said, Abner, don't you live at 237 Elm Street? -Jack Neal, '46 CALL-ING ALL STUDENTS Calling all students! Calling all students! Wanted!

' -Elwood Gray '45 DEATH IN THE PACIFIC This is a true story of one of Hartland Academy's graduates, Clifford Merrill, of St. Albans. After his training in this country, he was sihipped overseas' with his company on De- cember 23, 1943. Almost at once, Clifford volunteered for re- connaissance duty. Roi Island was the objec- tive. Clifford was put ashore in the night. At once he went forward anld hid. At dawn he .started scouting the land for roads on which to drive the tanks. It was here that the real excitement began. Ahead, back, and all around were Japanese, ready to shoot at any- thing moving. Clifford kept on. Finally he spotted three Japs in a shellhole. He threw a grenade, and as the smoke cleared away, he saw that two were dead and that the other had jumped from the hole and was running toward another. Clifford pulled up his rifie and shot. The Jap fell, turned over, and lay still. Clifford ran to him and seized his sword, the elaborate sword of a Japanese major. When Clifford got back to camp, there was a pressman to Whom he told his story. He was immediately offered one thousand dol- lars for the sworid by one of his ofiicers. However, Clifford did not sell it, instead it was forwarded to the Associated Press in Portland, Maine. Of course the publication of the story .caused great excitement in St. Albans. Wlhen at last a letter from Clifford reached home, he had written only, You probably have heard the news. I killed three Japs and got a sword. I am sending it home. On March 21, 1944, it arrived. The sword is of stainless steel, and sharp as a razor. Its handle is for two hands and is finely woven in the design of string. The scabbard is of heavy leather decorated with gold. The sword may be seen in a short time at the First National Bank, Pittsfield, Maine. -Allan 'Ilhorne, '47 FOR MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS: MRS. MINK'S HOLLOW LOG NURSERY If you were just a little mink, it's probable that you would think a h-ollow log a home as grand as any in the land. This was exactly the kind of home that Billy Mink had found. It was a very fine shel- ter and very cunningingly hidden. It was so .concealed that you and I might have passed it a hundred times without knowing there was anything there. It was no trouble at all for Billy and Mrs. Mink to keep it a secret. Some of the curious neighbors may have suspected that the Minks had a home, but none of them had the least ildea where it was. They didn't know whether it was up Laughing Brook or down the stream, and they couldn't get a hint from watching Billy or Mrs. Mink. It really was up the Laughing Brook, way up almost to the pond of Tommy the Beaver. Just below where the Laughing Brook made a splashing little waterfall was a small pool where trout lived. Just a few steps back from this pool was the bushy top of a fallen tree where a lot of rulbbish, such as leaves and sticks brought down by Laughing Brook in the spring, had collected. It was open at -one end, and it was warm and dry. There was plenty of room inside for a 'cozy comfortable residence. ' Billy Mink had not thought of it as a home when he showed it to Mrs. Minkg but Mrs. Mink's sharp eyes shone when she saw it. She had been up and down the river for a long distance, but she knew this was to be their home. So she set albout making it live- able. She made a good bed in the farther end. She spent most of her time there when she wasn't out hunting or fishing, or maybe en- joying an outing with Billy. Then one morning when Billy poked his head in to see why she didn't come out fislh- ing with him, he found a surprise. Mrs. Mink was not alone, there were five tiny babies, their eyes not even open. The old hollow log had become a nursery. Mrs. Mink allowed him to see the babies, anld then .she sent him about his business. However, he didn't. go far. He was so proud he couldn't bear to leave the hollow log. -I 21 1- Now balbies grow fast, especially babies of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows, and it wasn't very long before that hollow log became one of the liveliest nurseries in the Whole world. At first the babies didn't venture out from under the rwbbiss-h and brush that covered the hollow log, but they were contented in chasing each other in and out of the nursery, while their mother kept her eye on them. Billy himself wasfn't far off un- less he was out fishing. Just as soon as their mother thought they were big enough she led them to the bank of the pool, a few steps from the pile of brush. Such a wonderful place it was! No wonwder their eyes grew big and round. For the first time they saw the laughing brook, the jolly little sunbeams, blue sky, trees, plants, and flowers. They felt the breezes and heard them whisper in lbird songs came from. Suddenly they began to play, for such live- ly little fellows couldn't keep still long. What fun those five little imp-s had! They played tag, hide anld seek, they wrestled and rolled and tumbled over each other and over their mother. It was a Wonderful day to discover the world. Finally, they were so tired that they went back to the nursery and tumbled right ,straight into bed. And this means you, too. Now, scat! the leaves.

Mr. Douglas was the son of a country parson. Since 1929 he has been writing some of the most successful novels of our genera- tion. Tribune Marcellus Gallio was like any or- dinary young Roman. He had a slave, as was the custom in those days, and all the other things which were considered luxuries. -Since Marcellus had made the Prince of Rome angry, he was sent away to Fort Minoa near Jerusalem. Soon after his arrival there, he was commanded to take a legion of soldiers to preserve peace during the Jewish Passover. Marcellus knew nothing about the Passover except that any Jew who could pos- sibly get there went to eat the Passover . Marcellus began to learn much about these Jews, their customs, faith, and particularly their belief in a Messiah. This information was very puzzling to the youth who had been brought up to believe in all the Roman gods ,and goddesses. He considered this concept of the Jews a superstition. During the Passover there was a great dis- turlbance caused by a man who dared to en- ter the halls and temples of the Roman con- sulates and defy the officials. His name was Jesus. The rioting centered about this: man caused Pilate to condemn him to death by crucifixion. It was Marcellus' duty to see that the official order was obeyed. At the crucifixion, Marcellus had a very peculiar feeling. The look of peace on the victim's face impressed him and refused to leave his mind. After the death of the .strang- er, the intoxicated Marcellus tossed dice with his soldiers and won the robe which Jesus had worn. Even after Marcellus' return to Minoa, he couldn't forget the man he had executed. stories about Jesus' ability Now there were to heal and cure the sick. Certainly it must but was it? Always the be superstition, question ate into his brain. - --nu-uu-nu--lmxuunznuiun-un1uII1nn1uu1uu-nn1lnu-:lain His term of service at Minoa ended, he re- turned home, a stranger to himself. His whole life was colored by intense mental anguish, uncertainty and regret. All he could think of was that harmless appearing man. Even his visit at home in Rome did not help him to forget. At last to cure his mind, he'decided to go to Athens. The cure came as he began to ibelieve in the Galilean, not in forgetting him. Gradually his interest led him to travel the country miles around to learn ever more concerning Jesus. He met Miriam, the crip- pled girl with the lovely voiceg he heard stories of how the lame and crippled were healed, he listened fascinated to the story of Jesus' feeding the people with loaves and fishes. At first the tales seemed incredible. Continually, he was asking himself the ques- tion, Do I lbelieve? Is it possible? Finally the answer came. Yes, he did be- lieve. He believed so very much that he gave his life for his faith, the faith in Jesus Christ, our Saviour. In my opinion, this is a marvelous book which brings to our minds a vivid portrayal of the world into which Jesus was born, and his affect on that world, and ultimately, on us. 4Keith Cunningham, '44 UHEADHUNTING IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS Caroline Mytinger A rather strange expedition set out from San Francisco to paint portraits of the primi- tive ne'roids of the Southwest Pacific-in other words, to hunt heads . The artist- author hoped to record permanently the vari- ous features anld distinctions among the Paci- fic islanders. The expedition consisted of the author, Caroline Mytinger, and Margaret Warner, the handyman, who played the uke- lele and slang to the models and amused them as best she could. The young women were not encouraged by parents and friends, but in spite of the opposition, they started. They lacked money for such an exploit, but hoped to pay their expenses by painting portraits of the European residents of the islands. Arriving at Sydney, they took the Ma- taram to Tulagi. Their fir-st model turned out to be the Scottish captain of the boat. He proved an interesting character study for painting and literature. In the course of their adventures, they en- countered many distinct hardships. Their paints were destroyed, so they were forced to concoct their own inferior substitutes. Be- cause of the dampness and intense heat, their shoes quickly wore out, as well as the rest of their clothing. In addition to the constant wearying heat and trowblesome insects, there were island sores, measles, and shanghai feet to add to their physical miseries. The dreaded malaria was an unceasing fear. The many local cure-alls were often as dis- tateful as the disease itself. Often they had difficulty in securing the necessary native models because they were distrusted or 'because of tribal taboos. Oc- casionally the local white planters were able to help them. Among their experien-ces were long tramps through the jungles to distant native villages. They witnessed an exciting and almost distressing riot among the na- tives. They Were permitted to accompany the men on a turtle hunt, a custom habitually de- nied native women. Naturally, they observed and narrated for us' many strange, native ceremonies. and customs. The two women ex- perienced also shipwreck, fire, and earth- quake. The last occurred at Rabaul and dte- stroyed their hotel. The natives were fascinating as slave labor loading copra, as help on the plantations, as houselboys, as indifferent villagers, as frantic fantastic dancers and warriors, and always as willing and unwilling models. This fbook should be of interest to everyone because it presents a pre-war picture of the climate and life on the Solomon Islands, where many of our 'boys are fighting today. -Gladys Deering, '44 CHICKEN EVERY SUNDAY by Rosemary Taylor It is hard to imagine how hilarious life can be until you have read Miss Taylor's ac- count of the many amusing episodes with the boarders at her home. I am sure that a book with sufficient humor could be written of the family alone. However, when there is a steady stream of strange characters to be ta- ken into consilderation too, one can begin to realize the constant turmoil in the family life. Mother had started in taking boarders a few weeks after she was married for she liked the extra moneyg father didn't object much lbecause he enjoyed spending the money. Per- haps an outline of a typical day in the house- hold would help in convincing you that there were few boring moments. In spite of Mother's apparent good nature, she was intent upon having things done her way. Consequently, she was always hiring or firing a cook. Father, a bit inclined to make rash decisions, was usually starting a new business or finishing a not too old one. As for the boarders, there were all kinds and types. Once, a religious elderly couple preach- ed sermons incessantly throughout the day. One woman boarder spent all her time cold creaming herself. A boy who wrote poetry and had been bossed by his mother all his life finally learned to stand on hi.s own feet during his stay at the Taylorfsi. Much to their excitement, they even discovered that they had had a German spy under their roof at one time. ' A fun-loving family, they represent the people who believe in sharing their joys with others and offering help whenever it is need- ed. Although many difficulties arose, the peo- ple who came to board with them always re- membered their stay at the Taylor's. They had chicken every Sunday and enough laugh- ter to carry them through the rest of the week. -Delma Smith, '45 I SAW THE FALL OF THE PHILIPPINES by Col. Carlos P. Romulo This book was written by Colonel Carlos P. Romulo as he witnesslesd the fall of each section of the islands. He was called The Voice of Freedom in the Philippines. He broadcasted in Manila until the very end. He was separated from his family when he was forced to leave Manila for Corregidor. The story of his life is typical of all Fili- pinos. He saw the rise of democracy under President Quezon and General McArthur. He once hated Americans, but the hatreds. entirely left him long ago. He was educated in Amer- ica and adopted its customs, taking them back to his homeland. He writes the same story of the final sur- render of Manila, Corregidor, and Bataan that we have all heard several times, but this is as clearly described as any motion picture could possibly show before our eyes. The agony, hunger, cruel treatment, anid the tor- menting hells of the peninsula are very vivid- ly pictured in this book. This book keeps the readers constantly wondering what information was censored from it. There are some sections which are almost meaningless because of the censorship. The parts we do read surely strike home. One can't help feeling that we on the home front are to blame for the destruction of these peo- ple and their homes, All valiant Americans should read this book, history classes should be taught about it. The Voice of Freedom there kept the people from quick surrender. Why can't it keep us over here from shirking? -Charlene Stedman, '44 BURMA SURGEON by Gordon Seagrave, M. D. Long before this war of ours was started by the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a surgeon was giving everything he had in the great battle of medicine. Dr. Gordon Seagrave was doing a remarkable joib with scarcely nothing to work With. When he and his wife arrived in the North Sham States, they knew scarce- ly a word of the native language. His surgi- cal instruments and supplies were poor. With no knowledge of the tribal customs, he was compelled to train native nurses to aid him. However, he was -extremely lucky in being aible to overcome many of the obstacles and in having luck on his side more than a few times. With his tremendous energy and will- power, he succedded in setting up a compar- atively modern hospital in the wilderness and rapidly decreasing the large number of deaths. Many died from diseas-es frequently found in hot climates such as in this settle- ment. Time passes. The Burma Road is built. An airplane fartory is erected near them. Dr. Seagrave learns that he and his medical unit are needed greatly in the army. He is com- missioned a major in the medical co1'ps and is appointed to the Chinese Sixth Army. Y Through days of terror he and his small unit p'8I'I01'I'1'1 operations among the flaming ruins or .Japanese bombs. Each and everyone labors at ms utmost skill to save the Wounded until they are forced to evacuate. Written on the pages of this book is the doctor's daily ac- count of the hard retreat to India. As he ends his great and fascinating story, he looks for- ward to giving more of his services in this fight for freedom. -Elwood Gray, '45 ii...- A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN Among the crowded tenements of Brooklyn there grows a tree. No matter where its seed falls, Irom it there grows another tree which struggles to reach the sky. It survives with- out sun, water, and seemingly without earth. It cannot be called beautiful, for it is too com- mon, ibut some call it The Tree of Heaven . It was this tree which became the inspiration for Francie, the young heroine. When Francie was a little girl, too thin from hunger, -she sat on a broken down step and lost all sight of her dark and poor sur- roundings. She forgot the cries of hungry children as she watched the tree flourish in the slums. Although her people suffered pov- erty and misfortune, they were fun loving people and their life holds excitement and color. From them .she inherited laughter, ten- iderness, and a strong spirit. However Francie Nolan possessed something else that was more important. This was a -deep craving for fknowledge, a love for writing, and a hope to possess finer things. During her teens, she was compelled to give up school and writing to became a la- iborer. She became acquainted with the heart- aches which fell upon her. For a long time all sense of beauty and warmth are lost from life and she learns to accept the hard things and bear them. When the pain is over and vision is cleared, her eyes fall upon the tree which is grown and aged. With her face up- lifted, Francie Nolan looks ahead to meet the years. with a stronger heart. ' My opinion: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of the most interesting novels I have 'ever read. Because of its very clear discrip- tion of the setting and its characters, a greater interest and a finer understanding is given the reader throughout each page of this book. -Delma Smith, '45 .4271- 4..-..,..,..-....-.,..-....-....-....-....-....-....-......,,.-....-...,-..........-,...-..........-...,-,,..-....-..........-....-....-..........-....- - - l FRENCH AND ! l 'I' MYTHOLOGY UP T0 DATE Cast of Characters Nurse ....,...,.....

La figure centrale est Jean Valjean, le forcat, le manufacturier et le philanthrope l'homme qui rembounse le mal pour le bien. A le commencement de l'historie Jean Val- jean etait un forcat qui venait d'elargi d'une prison. Sa vue de la, vie etait rude et cruel, et il 'detestait le genre humain jusqu'il a recontre l'eveque de Digne. Par ses mots gentils et pas ses actions l'eveque a rendu un peu de la bonte dans l' ame de Jean Valjean. Jean Valjean est erre environ la campagne jusqu'il s'est etabli comme Monsieur Madeline, -L 29 1- un manufacturier. Plus tard il a nourri une petite enfant, Cosette, lui 'charge a la. morte de la mere. Il l'a prise a Paris et ils y'sont restes jusque Cosette est devenue une grande fille. Jean Valjean et Cosette, en se promenant dans le parc, ont recontre un jeune .homme nomme Marius. Cosette et Marius sont deven- us epris l'une d'autre. A ce temps les emeutes de 1832 ont com- menc et Marius et Jean Valjean y engageaient. Marius etait blesse mais Jean Valjean lui a apporte a la surete par les egouts de Paris. Avant un long temps Marius s'est releve et il s'est marie a Cosette. Jan Valjean devenu tres vieux, Idemeurait seul. Il est devenue tres malade et il a de- sire voir encore Cosette avant qu'il meurte. Ce desir lui est accorde. Jean Valjean, l'ancien forcat, le philanthrope, et l'ami des humbles est mort en paix.

We all came with the expectancy of having the honor of the senior room . How- ever, we were soon separated, the boys in the auditorium and the girls in room 2. In the course of the year, we have lost eight of our classmates, three of whom are in the Navy and two in the Army. The class elected their oflicers for the year soon after school opened. They were: Presi- dent, Keith Cunningham: Vice-President, Charlene Stedman: Secretary, Joyce Plumer: and Treasurer, Beverley Wood. We seniors finally had our turn at officiat- ing at an initiation. The freshman were the victims on October 27. We could sympathize with them with vague memories of our own agonies four years ago. However, they re- ceived what was due with no partiality. We repaid them by the annual Freshman Recep- tion in the evening. The proceeds from the reception were 31328. Our class is well represented in school ac- tivities. Those participating are: Victory Corps Council: Keith Cunningham, Helen Moore, Charlene Stedman, Leslie Sher- burne, John Gee, and Joyce Thompson. Boys' Glee Club: Earl Cully, John Gee, Ivan Crocker. and Leslie Sherburne. Girls' Glee Club: Helen Moore, Beverley Wood, Baralbra Ross, Joyce Plumer, Hazel Devereaux, Virginia Inman, Nettie Withee, and Grace Roberts.

A -Charlene Stedman '44 SENIOR PLAY On February 10, the class presented a three afct comedy, Adam's Evening . The play was under the direction of Miss Stella Clifford, our English instructor. It was given at the St. Albans town hall, something new for us. The cast was: Adam Adams Anna Adams Ivan Crocker Helen Moore Mrs. Bean Charlene Stedman Casper Leslie Sherburne Gertie Joyce Plumer Dr. Fragoni Rosita Fragoni Elmer Green Mr. Cokes Mrs. Cokes Keith Cunningham Beverley Wood John Gee Earl Cully Gladys Deering Because of the fact that the auidience laughed at several of the right places and that only a few tomatoes made direct hits, -I 30 11 we feel safe in drawing the conslusion that our play was at least a moderate success. In all seriousness, we hope the audience enjoyed the play as much as weenjoyed putting it on. Flaws can be found in the greatest of works, as the philosophers say. Considering this statement as tru-e, I'm sure the mistakes in our great work were disregarded. We did have a few slip-ups, it must be admitted. Our sound eifects were slightly off at times. The play called for the sound of banging wa- ter pipes at various intervalsf No one, except Miss Clifford, seemed to know just when the pipes began and ended their noiseg unfortu- nately, she was on the opposite side of the stage from the noise maker. So, if anyone no- ticed the stage properties being heaved back and forth or heard any peculiar noises, it was only Miss Clifford notifying the pipe ham- merers that it was time to hammer. The play was so funny, they coulldn't be bothered to watch the book! Broadly speaking, the iirst and second acts passed: off well. I might add that upon the ending of the second act, one half of the audience was observed to be still awake. The .third act introduced numerous diiiiculties which confused us' players considerably. We managed to iumble the ldialogue so comnletelv that Miss Clifford was in a dither. Using an excess of ingenuity, we adlibbed ouselves in- to a pretty mess. Frankly, on a few oecasions we were left with our mouths Wide open, honing an appropriate sound would form it- self automatically. To be truthful it wasn't that bad, We ended on the right beat. Because of illness in the cast. we had to substitute. Due to this and other circum- stances, Cully found himself 'blessed with .three wives anid the nossiblity of a fourth! As much as anyone, Gladys should be compli- mented for doing so well the 'nart of Mrs. Cokes on just twenty-four hours' notice! We'er still wondering why John fitted into the roll of a nut so well. Was it. perhaps. that one last spree 'before the Navy scrubbed him down? And we were sorry that Ina Cook's illness kept her from appearing in our mas- terpiece. Confusion and all. we had heaps of fun presenting Adam's Evening . Joyce Plumer, '44 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The class of '45 entered its third year of studies on October 4, 1943.

At the first of the year, it was ldecided that dues of ten cents a week would be paid until December when the weekly amount decreased to live cents. This supplied sufficient funds for any initial expenses of the class. On March 3, a Sophomore Hop was spon- sored by the class, and about 520 was added to our treasury. As there was no immediate expense to be met, it Was voted to give S10 to the Red Cross and S10 to the Salvation Army. The sophomores are particularly proud of their part in the weekly bonld drive. The to- tal sales within our class on March 21 were s3,731.50. -Lois Seekins, '46 -Shirley Stedman '46 THE FRESHMAN CLASS The freshman class started its first year at Hartland Academy with an enrollment of forty-five. We were happy to welcome Mr. Shaw as our home room teacher. We elected the following class oHicers: president, Ethel Stone, vice-president, Lloyd Woodg secretary, Lyda Spauldingg treasurer, George Baker. James Mills was selected to represent us on the Junior Red Cross Council. The dreaded Initiation Day finally arrived. This is the day that all freshmen look for- ward to with fearful expectation. The boys wore girls' dresses and ankle socks. To com- plete their costumes, they wore kerchiefs and tunbans, fingernail polish, and carried large handbags. Some of them made amazingly at- tractive girlsi. The girls wore two sofa pillows with a dress pulled on over them. QA mighty tight squeeze for some of uslj The remaining accessories consisted of curlers, men's stock- ings anid garters, bedroom slippers, and we 'carried a candle in a candleholder. The cli- max of the day was the Freshman Reception in the evening. Most freshmen attended and had a much better time than at the morning's assembly for the benefit of the upper class- men. Outstanding performers on that occasion were: James. Mills, Marguerite Hart, Basil Brooker, Mildred Carson, Ethel Stone, and Frederick Towle. Naturally, we are well represented in the -extra-curricular activities, the following will explain: Victory Corps Council: Ethel Stone. Girls Glee Club: Barbara Goforth.

If anyone knows the size of room five, he knows that it is practi- cally an impossiblity to accomodate that many. We have lost one member, so the crowded condition has not lessened. The class ofiicers are: president, Ruth Pageg vice-president, Charles Russellg secretary, Mary Howell, and treasurer, Kenneth Pel- kie. Both boys and girls have participated in junior varsity basketball. The girls were Jean Holt, Arvene Ham, Coleen Stromback, Ruth Fox, Marie Smith., and Gladys Sherburne. The boys' team consisted of Charles Russell, Jus- tin Humphrey, Harry Dinsmore, and Linwood Wheeler. Students from the seventh grade were also on the team-s. Our class gave an assembly program at Thanksgiving time. Even though the upperclassmen think us very insignificant, they will be surprised at our future progress in Hartland Academy. We have really enjoyed our first year upstairs unvder Miss Philpot's guidance. -Linwood Wheeler, '48 -E 33 j..

The purpose of the Corps is to solve problems connected with the school. Reports of the progress of the different projects in school are made to the council. Suggestions for improvement. are made by the members. Each academy organization elects a member to represent it in the council. Those elected from the council to serve as oiiicers for the school year of 1943 and 1944 are as follows: President, Harlow Powers, vice-president, Virginia Wheelerg secretary, Elwood Grayg treasurer, Ethel Stone. Many different projects in school have been 'backed by the Victory Corps. One important project was the Magazine Drive. This year the proceeds were used to purchase a plaque. The names of those who graduated from Hart- land Academy anid are now in the Armed Forces are on it. The dedication was held April 19. Through the Stamp and Bond drive con- ducted in the school, a jeep has been bought. In the jeep is a plaque with the name of the school on it. By the end of March we also will have purchased a field ambulance. The schools that have ninety per cent participation in the Stamp and Bond Drive each month are allowed to fly the Minute Man Flag. Our school has been able to Hy this flag. The Junior Red Cross has conducted several salvage drives. Through the Victory Corps committees were elected to make the drives a success. -I 34 1- HACOMEC CLUB nl-awww, First row, left to right: Pauline Murray, Madeleine Hughes, Elizabeth Bunker, Virginia Wheeler, Lois Seekins, Joyce Thompson, Camilla Chute, Maxine Jones.

The Hrst of the year a Planning Board was chosen with CamillaiChute from the senior class. Madeleine Hughes from the junior class, Maxine Jones as the sophomore representative, and Pauline Murray from the freshmen class. Early in December the Hacomec girls pre- pared and served the annual Future Farmers' Banquet at the Grange Hall. That evening the boys presented our club with a generous gift of money. Programs for each meeting were decided upon by the Planning Board. These meetings were varied so that we had some of' education- al value, some to help others, such as the Red Cross, and some just for fun. At our Christmas meeting, we decorated a tree, ex- changed gifts, and sang carols. A fashion show was an important meeting. A group of girls from the club demonstrated proper attire for various occasions and the colors and lines suitable for different individuals.

She demonstrated glass etching, tooling of leather, and painting designs and pictures on glass and wooden bowls. A Valentine party was amusing, for each girl made a valentine to exchange, writ- ing iher own verses. Other meetings have fea- tured a quiz program and the history and manufacture of clothing, a spelling contest in- cluding nutritional terms, and amusing skits. A committee from the club served hot choco- late during one noon hour. Another committee carried on a popcorn sale. In February the F. F. A. andi Hacomec or- ganizations hafd a box social. The boxes were especially attractive this year. The profit was divided equally between the two clubs. The prizes were two door prizes, and one for the prettiest -box.

The members of the cast were: Patsv Hinton, Rowena Harris, Joanne Ballard, Paul- ine Murray, Barbara Ross, Dorothy Lawrence and Nettie Withee..

This an-cient festival was held in honor of the god, Saturn, and was usually observed with gaiety, songs, and the giving of gifts. Gifts were excxhanged at the meeting, and we sang songs and played games. Plans are being made to have a Roman Ban- quet in April. Food, customs, clothing, and en- tertainment will fbe as in the days of old Rome. This banquet will close the program for the year. -Patsy Hinton, '46 HI-Y The Hi-Y cluib had a very late .start this year, but it finally got under way with the following program committee: Elwood Gray, Mahlon Gray, Raleigh Stone, Dean Wiers, and Harlow Powers.

BOYS' BASKETBALL Hartland l Hartland On the first of December Coach Heddericg Hartland asked for boys to play basketball. Twelve Hartland lboys immediately came out to practice. We Hartland played our first game December 7, 1943, at Hartland East Corinth, which we lost by five points. Hartland Although we won only five games out of Hartland twelve, we thought we gained much! valuable Hartland practice. Through graduation we will lose one Hartland member, Leslie Shenburne.

Third row, left to right: Geralldine Sawyer, Eleanor Allen, Mr. Heddericg, Ethel Stone, Rae Jean Randlett. GIRLS' BASKETBALL At the beginning of the basketball season, it looked pretty dark for us girls. We had no coach! Of course, we had to have a team. H. A. would be lost without it. And after some persuading, Mr. Heddericg agreed to pitch in and take on the responsibility. We all ap- preciated it and had a lot of fun during the fseason. The opening game was a Round Robin at Newport. Hartland played two quarters, win- ning 6-5 over Hermon, and 14-9 over Newport. Our season was quite successful, and we were able to play many more games than last year. All of our old team was back with one exception. At graduation the team will lose Gladys Deering, Camilla Chute, Ina Cook, and Helen Moore. I'm sure the remaining girls will work hard and get along Well without us when the time comes. The letter winners for 1943-44 are: Virginia Wheeler, Estelle Randlett, Achsah Farrell, Gladys Deering, Camilla Chute, Ina Cook, and Helen Moore. Of this group, Virginia and Ach- sah were chosen to play on the All-Star team at East Corinth.

Human :beings are so constructed that they are healthier and happier using their bodies as well as their minds. Physical education is not, however, simply muscular activity. In the gymnasium, students are given experience in .self-direction, self control, leadership, fellowship, co-operation, unselfishness and sportsmanship. All these traits lead to a finer democracy. This year we have prepared a vscheldule so that every girl in school will have at least two hours of physical education a week. Formerly, we have had Very little besides basketball. One g'roup of girls is under the direction of Mr. Heddericg, and another under the direction of Miss Boutilier, while the third group is entire- nly carried on by junior and senior -student leaders with Miss Boutilier as aidvisor. During the year our groups have had work in calisthenics, individual stunts, couple stunts, group stunts, relay races, pyramids, and military marching. We have learned: to play a variety of new games: volley ball, ten- nequoit, mewcomb, and nine court basketball. -Virginia Wheeler '45 BASEBALL If the Hartland Academy athletic field ever dries up, the prospects. for a successful base- ball season appear bright this year. There are only three veterans: Floyd Austin, Raymond Ames, and Vernard Vanaldestine. However, the number of promising candidates makes us fairly confident of a good season. Candi- dates are: Catchens: Floyd Austin, Paul Hughes. Pitcher-sz Raymond Ames, Arthur Chad- Iborne, Harlow Powers, Vernard Vanadestine. Infield: Wendell Bufbar, Harry Ballard, Har- land Emery, Charles Siherburne, Earl Mc- Lean, Lowell Knowles, Allen Thorne, Marvin Lovely, Fred Towle, Arthur Chapman, James Mills, Richard Mower, George Baker, and Richard Lucas. . Outfield: Ivar Pearson, Raleigh Stone, Les- lie Duran, Blaine Mower, Donald Nichols, Robert Page, LeRoy Rollins, Ashley Parker, and Stanley Dyer. We hope to find transportation facilities to play our Central League games with Hermon, Corinna, East Corinth, and Newport. Coach Heddericg says that the battery set- ups are progressing so satisfactorily, that he will soon be able to take them south to Pal- myra for training. --Richard Lucas, '45 FRESHMEN BOYS' BASKETBALL The Freshmen boys' basketball team has :had a full season. We have won all the four games that we have played. Under Coach Heddericg we have been very successful.

I-Iartlardd Academy is proud of its many graduates in the armed forces of our country. We sincerely lhope this record is accurate. If it is not, please notify the Academy office. C. A. A. F., Box 55 Columbus, Miss. 25 March 1944 Editor of the Ripple Hartland Academy Hartland, Maine Dear Editor: In answer to your request, I am glad to outline briefly my present work in the Air Corps since May of 1943g Three days from Hartland via New York, Washington, and Montgomery, Alabama, I ar- rived at the Columbus Army Air Field classi- fied as an instructor in Navigation. Up to that time, my knowledge of planes anld their mo- tion through the air had been confined to one three hour watch on duty as an aircraft spot- ter on top of the Hartland Tannery. You can imagine that I approached this with al- most as much -confidence as I used to have when I faced Mr. Dunn over the ping-pong tafble. But after observing classes in the ground school for a while and spending a couple of months at Rand'olph Field, Texas, I was made an instructor-the Army way. Thus, I am ldoing much the same type of work as in civilian life plus the usual aldmin- istrative military duties that are connected with each of tihe hundreds of airdromes which have grown up from Florida to California. Wlxile actually the objective of the Training Command is to turn inexperienced cadets into experienced, disciplined men, skilled in the art of killing, my particular job is to help pilots keep themselves and their charges alive while attempting to conlduct a plane form one place to another. C. A. A. F. is an advanced twin-engine training post. This is the last trial for pro- spective pilots. A pair of wings and lieuten- nantis bars are awaiting them at the end of eight weeks. The journey through Pre-Hight, Primary, Basic, anid Advance schools is rather rough but the training is excellent and the work is not beyond the average aboy. I would like the pleasure of having a Hart- land Academy boy reach my classes some day. Maynard Moore '39 is on his way and perhaps others will become acquainted with the Mag- nolia State under a summer's sun. For those who reach this stage, transition school lies di- -rectly ahead and a pilot's job' on a B-17 or B-24 is not too difficult to visualize. I expect that each member of the Class of 1944 will have a direct share in the conclusion of this world conflict. My best wishes and hopes are with them. I wish to extend, also, to the faculty and underclassmen of Hart- land Academy congratulations for their ex- cellent work under the most trying of times. Sincerely yours, C. J. Cutts 1st Lt. AIC Sampson, New York March 16, 1944 Dear Classmates, I have just finished four weeks of boot training here at Sampson, New York. One more week and it will be completeld. I will be glad to get back to the good old State of Maine for a few days. The first week at boot camp is the hardest. When you arrive in Sampson you get a very heavy meal, a glass of milk and a sandwich. All the sailors will be shouting and saying, You will be sorry . Most of us are sorry any- way. After you have digested your sandwich, they give you a physical examination, and then you receive your clothes which are thrown at you from all directions. You are taken next to your barracks, which is your home while in boot training. The recruits that have been in camp a week ahead of you, call themselves old salts , and you 'fbarber baits . After your hair is cut, you are called skin heads . Another thing that they kid you about is when you are inoculated against diseases. Wait until you get the square needle or the one with the propeller , they say. A recruit's training is mostly drilling, go- ing to lectures which are like going to mo- vies. This is an idea of what Navy boot train- -I 51 1- ing is like. They feed us very well and have pleasant barracks. Hope to see you all on my leave. Wishing you the best of luck. Your classmate, John Gee, A. S. Camp Mackall, N. C. March 12, 1944 Dear Myrtle, I was very pleased to hear that the Ripple is going to be published again this year. I wish I was going to H. A. again as do lots of other H. A. graduates, who are on many posts all over the world. Many fellows are in the Air Force or the Navy, but here I' am in the Airborne. Airborne is a branch of the Army that isn't very well known. We rilde in Gliders and C-47 transport planes. The training is along the same lines as the Paratroopers. It is a hard, rough life, but it is fun anyway. I have an interesting job as Scout Corporal. Besides leading the Battery, I have a part to play in the surveying. I certainly appreciate the mathematics that I took at H. A. While I have been in the South I have traveled to several cities and towns. The ur- rban communities seem very poor. There isn't a place in this part of the South that could 'begin to compare with New England. On one trip to Charlotte, N. C., I met Max Baer, the ex-champion of boxing. Here in the Army you meet many interesting people from every part of the country. In closing I wish you all success in the com- ing edition of the Ripple . Yours truly, Cpl.
