THE RIPPLE Often one hears someone complain about the outrageously high price we charge for our yearbook. These people probably do not understand the cost of producing this book. I shall try to ex- plain some of these facts. To begin with, the engraving bill, as compared with that of several years ago, is about five times what it was then. At that time the price of the Ripple was 50 cents. Now it is 31.50. These figures compare somewhat favor- ably, but now comes the sad cpavrt. The cost of getting our yearbook printed has risen to about six times that of the previously mentioned date. This may sound terrible, but is it? Is the printer a robber? NO! He is doing the very thing that other businessmen are doing the world over, if he can get the business at his price, is he to be con- demned? Next, someone remarks, What about the advertisements? It is no pleasant job -to go out after ads. The people who give us these ads do just thatg they give us the money. Several years ago ads amounted to nearly 330000. The best we have done recently is 83250.00 It is hard to increase the sale of ads in a yearbook. Anyone realizes that a mer- chant will not sell many more goods just because he puts an ad in the Ripple. No matter how grateful we may be, there is not much we can do about that. In order to make ends meet we have had to cuft some things out of our Ripple this year. By doing this we hope to come out even. David R. Tibbetts '48 STUDENT GOVERNMENT What is Student Government? Why have so many schools tried to estab- lish this form of government? Student Government is exactly what is stated-government of the school by the students. It means that we, the students, shall participate in the mak- ing and maintaining of the l-aws. And also that we shall be a part of the school and such a part of it that we could not fail' to love itg that we shall work not for individual merit, but to raise the standard of our school to even a higher degree than it stands for now. Often has it been said that a school run by School Government can easily be detected the minute that one enters the s-chool. There is a quiet orderliness, a cheerful and 'business- like atmosphere that can not be ignored. Each year, more and more schools, large and small, are estab- lishing Student Councils. They have realized the great efficiency and value of this new form of government. What a grand feeling it is to know that the student body 'in our school can successfully conduct a Student Government. Ioan Perry '50 55'Q5IE5Il5LC1G5'Q-CIILJI THIRTY SECONDS OF ETERNITY 'Bill Bevans, an ex-Marine pilot, was iiying over the hazardous terrain sur- roundiing Turtle Neck Pond, a little north of Baldwin, West Virginia, in his new Bell Aronica. Bill had been up since noon and it was now close to four. The fuel gauge registered one-quarter full. This was plenty to return to his field, twelve miles away. He Hew fifteen minutes more. Now it was time to turn home- ward. Three miles to the south of the pond the rocky valley surrounding the pond broke up into the ragged peaks of the Eastern Rockies. This range of wind-eroded ledge stretched over eight miles of the distance between Baldwin and the pond. As Bill looked at his watch and saw that twenty minutes had elapsed since he turned his craft toward home, he heard a slight falter in his engine. His first thought was the gas gauge. It still read quarter full. It wasn't working. There wasnit enough gas to carry him home and he couldn't glide a hundred yards with the head wind he was fight- ing. He knew the -only thing to do was to give it full throttle and gain enough altitude to bail outf' His body reacted to his thoughts and up Went the frail little craft. Up he went, until he readhed two thousand feet, four thou- sand, and finally the five thousand level, when he leveled off and scouted around, in a few brief seconds, for the bes-t place to make a crash landing, if any could be found. A little to the left was a level spot, but there was a large boulder in the middle of it. He couldnit land there. just then the engine coughed once and died. No time now to sipot a place for landing. He must hit the silkf, Off went 'tlhe cockpit cover. Snap', went the buckle on his safety belt. Bill climbed out on the wing cautiously. The small craft was losing altitude fast. Billis rapid cacula-ting told him that it would take him just three minutes to fall to the ground, without a chute.', But he had a chute,,' so before he had a chance to think l'1.irther he threw himself into space. Down, down, he went. He was clear of the 'plane now, so he yanked at the rfip-cord. WHAT WAS WRONG? llis uchutef, didnit oipen. He was going down with much greater speed now, but he was too much concerned with his Chute, to notice anything else. .Below Bill, the earth semed to rush up at him. The only thing that broke the rough terrain was ta large pine tree. He could recall his childhood and his parentis, whom he 'hadnit seen for over five years. I-Ie saw visions of his exipelri- ences als a pilot for his country. Most vivid of all was his recollection of a similar experience over Guadalcanal. Bill fell through space for two min- utes and a half before the Chute finally caught, and held him like an anchor suddenly catches a ship. He fell for just thirty seconds before he hit the top- of the -tree, but it seemed like an eter- nity to him. It took Bill twenty minutes to recover from the impact in-to the branches, but he finally cut himself loose and hiked it back to the ainport. Today, Bill Bevans is no longer just Bill. He is Commodore Bill Bevans, be- cause he has full command of the Bald- win Airport. Richard Nichols '49 THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER I EVER MET Arthur Ashton is the most unforget- 'l '! l l l' I table individual I have ever met. Ar- thur was often censured by many, and accused of being eccentric, much to his displeasure, probably because the accu- sations were true. Arthur was i11 his mid-twenties when I last saw him: that awkward age at which the radical ten- dencies lof the radicals and the conserva- tive tendencies first manifest them- selves. Arthur could have been classed as a radical, since he 'was obsessed with the idea that he was obligated to eradi- cate the ills of the world. This obses- sion could be attributed to his infinite intellectual development and complete l-ack of emotional maturity which ac- counts for his capricious yet philo- sophical nature. Outside the sun had reached its height and was expending a few sur- plus calories, melting a cold dust- fietched icicle which dripped incessantly and much to the annoyance of Arthur, who was sitting in his lush drawing room. His brow Was creased by in- numerous interlocking wrinkles which rendered his countenance an omniscient appearance, which concurred with his immediate mood. Suddenly he stood erect and said in a half Whisper to him- self: 'Tll do it this very afternoon, I'll question some of my friends. They'll be able to tell me what I can do to be of some use to mankind. After I talk with them maybe 1,11 be able to pay society a great tributef' Arthur had barely stepped from his door wh-en he met his old friend and mentor, Professor Beatty, whom he can- didly asked after the customary greet- ings: Professor, what woul'd you most like to do away with if you couldfv' Well,,' replied the professor with an answer equally as candid, I would free the world of those infinitely boring in- dividuals which one often meets in the rush of a day who talk for an hour and say nothing.',' This reply appeased Arthur, for he knew that he was that type of person, but Arthur was not one to be easily vanquished. He continued his poll and each time he inevitably received an answer which cut him deeply. Finally, he returned home to consider the resultfs of his poll and make a decision, but not until he had given it sufficient thought, since his next move would be most important. Yes,v said Arthur to himself, 'Tll do my best to -help my friends and the world by eradicating a great ill, a great cause of trouble. Yes, I'll pay society a great tributef, So he shot himself. Bruce Dearborn '49 LIFE'S DARKEST MOMENTS Maybe you will fail to hear my weird story to its end. There are strange people and even stranger things in this world. Who knows but l am one of those people? Again 1 say my story is a weird one. It goes back to the dark past! It was a dark, storm-threatening night late in December. I was to meet three of my class companions at the club- house. We were to meet for our weekly session of cards. The time for our meeting was set at 8:00 p. m. Being the one that lived closest to the clubhouse, I arrived early, there was nothing queer in that. It had been my habit to arrive before the others for some time. I usually came early in order to dust the old table and light the lamaps. The boys knew this and de- pended on me to keep the place in order. 513333336 m e I finished my usual chores and looked at my watch, ei-ght-fifteen. Where were they? This was Thursday evening, wasnlt it? Of co-urse it was. Surely, the boys would come. They hadn't missed a session in ten years, but where were they? I finally decided to sit down and wait for them. I found a pack of cards and sat down to envelope myself in a single- handed poker game. I dealt the cards a few times and looked at my watch againg eight-thirty! Strange that they should be so late! Should I wait or should I investigate? It seemed that there was some invisi- ble power holding me there! A feeling came over me that I cannot explain to this day. I continued my game, and just as I finished dealing a still stranger feel- ing came over me! I turned toward the door. The door was closed. No one had come in behind me. I still had that feeling inside me. I turned back to face the table. As I turned toward the old scratched-up table that odd feeling became so strong that it almost made me blind! WAIT! VVhat was that on the table? It looked like a hand! It was turned back-up. The hand was blue, as if it had been chilled! I shuddered at the thoughts of it! I slowly gained courage enough to turn it over. There it was, on the front of the hand: spots and smooches of red! At the sight of this I nearly fainted! Never in my life, of poker rpflaying, had I ever dealt myself a royal straight flush, the ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of hearts!

Miss Wright had to leave us for a short time this fall because of illness, but we are glad that she was able to come back. She has given us much encouragement in all of our activities as a class. VVe are sorry to announce that we hav-e had four of our classmates leave this year. Those people are: Evelyn Lawrence, St. Albans, Pauline Wheeler, Douglas Moore, Clarence White, all of Hartland.

It was ap- proved by the Council and the debt was made up in nine days. The Junior Class has decided to hold its annual Prom', on April 30th. This is to be held at the Knights of Pythias Irlall. We are hopeful that this will be a great success. We are proud to say that our class has had a very large percentage of its enrollment out for the various athletics and clubs. Our class, as a whole, seems to ta-ke much interest in all of the ex- tra-curricular activities. Four of our Iuniors participated in a one-act play. These four students are Merlene Lewis, Virginia Fox, Virginia Salisbury, and Richard Nichols. On March 12 it was presented at the Acad- einy, with Williams High School of Oakland as guests.

Robert Mills '52 ---Qatar:--M STUDENT COUNCIL L I STUDENT COUNCIL The first meeting of the Student Coun- cil was held on September 9th, with Mr. Dummer as faculty adviser. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Linwood NV1heeler, Vice President, Charles Rus-sell, Treasurer, Edmund Seekins, Secretary, Arvene Ha-m. The members were chosen under the same set-up as in past years. The Coun- cil decided to use the money from the magazine campaign to buy a movie pro- jector and a public speaking system. Money from the sale of candy has been used to buy movies. Meetings were to be held every other Monday. This became unnecessary, as there have been few problems to come before the Council this year. Attend- ance at meetings has been compara- tively good. The grea-test problem has been that of assemblies. Lack of interest in get- ting up the assemblies has prevailed among the students. Numerous plans have been tried to carry out these pro- grams, but none have been successful. Any organization in debt has had the chance to sell candy to make up the deficit. Arvene Ham '48 , ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association was again organized in October 1948 and the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Kenneth Pelkie, Vice President, Ashley Parker, Secretary, Joanne Jamieson, Treasurer, Pauline Wheeler.

This year we decided to have the meetings the third Monday in every month in Room 8, and also have a few evening meetings. A cheerleading representative was added to the association for the first time this year. The association voted that everyone going out for sports must purchase a season ticket, the price of 'Which has been two dollars and forty cents. Our other source of income has been the coke machine. If any sports team runs over i-ts budget of fifty dollars the team may sell candy until the deficit is made up. The Athletic Association has proven to be a satisfactory setup this year and we hope it may continue in the follow- ing year. . Joanne Jamieson '50 DEBATING CLUB The Debating Club has ten members, with Clara Burdin president and Bev- erly Davis secretary.

Soon only a few girls were left and Mr. Pippin was kind enough to lend us two of his girls. Fortunately we had no casualties this year. With the exception of two for- wards, Coach Grant had to pick a new first team. The following were picked: Colleen Stromback, Faye Cool, Pauline WVheeler, Mariellyn Hughes, Joanne Jamieson, and Natalie Clement. Girls receiving letters outside of the first team were: Mary Ellen Stilson, Merlene Lewis, Patricia Carson, and Vivian Morgan Qmanagerj. We lost two games, thus losing the league championship.

A smaller number of boys than last year went out for the sport. This fact is explained 'by many of our boys be- eoming Junior Varsity. A promising forward, Kenneth South- ard, was our high point scorer. VVe were managed by Harold Car- son, who was assisted by Bob Knowles. Harold Carson N51 CHEERLEADERS A cheerleaders squad was organized this year, with Miss Grant in charge. Vivian Morgan, our coach, spent a lot of time with us and was very patient While we were learning. The girls cheered at every game this year and put a lot of energy into it. The following girls received letters: Sally Lucas. Vivian Morgan, Nathalie Estes, and Rosalie Gordon. Patricia Scribner, Dolores Stedman, Ethelyn Wfheeler, Ioan Morgan, Gwendolyn lVright, Patricia Bragg, and Betty Hop- kins received numerals. The numbers of practices you attend and number of games you cheer in determines whether you receive a letter or not. The group helped the morale of the teams. All the members were new this this year excerpt Sally Lucas, and with her voice you knew when Hartland had arrived.

The boys enjoyed a very successful season by cinching the league championship. We played M. C. I. and Monson, besides our regular league games. We won a trophy by winning ten out of our twelve games. The American Legion sponsored a banquet for us. During our season we were very fortunate in having our baseball dia- mond improved by the townspeople. We wish to express our thanks. Linwood Wheeler ,48 SOFTBALL Nearly every girl at H. A. goes out for softball. In fact, there are so many that two diamonds are used to provide for everyone at bat. Of course, after our team is chosen many must drop out. Now we will get prepared for our first game. What an exciting moment! Foxie is at the bat. Hooray. YShe is on first. Everyone heaves a sigh of re- lief when we are sure our runner is safe. Up steps another one. A hit for a home run. Gee, what a perfect game! The next game is to be played out of town. There is always our problem of transportation. Now, this .is the day. What . . . no cars yet? Finally at the last minute we manage to persuade a few boys to give in and furnish their cars. Arenit we lucky? Even though we lost our trophy by losing our final game with Corinna, we all enjoyed every trip. May the girls in the future have as much fun. Ruth Page ,48 TRACK Although track has never been a popular sport at H. A., it 'had a fairly successful season last year. A squad of about 15 boys turned out for regular practice, but were handi- capped by not having a track to obtain the proper practice on. The team participated in the Bates Relay Carnival and the State Meet at Colby College. Members of the team placed at each meet. We won a de- cided victory over Monson Academy here at home. Other meets were held at M. C. I. with Kents Hill, Lawrence High School of Fairfield, and Monson Academy. Plans are now being made for the construction of a track in back of the Academy. Mr. Knight is coaching track this year and he expects, with the full co- operation of each member, a winning team.
