oCiL erary Somewhere in Japan, There's a boy 1‘d like to see. He sailed across the ocean, Far away from you and me. He was home with us at Christmas, And here just once before, But still it‘s been a long time Since he left the ocean shore. He‘s missed in Maine and Ohio, and, From him we long to hear; The boy who's far away from us, The one we love so dear. There‘re other boys gone with him And their folks miss them, too. But soon the war'll be over, and, They'll start life all anew. I wish they'd prove to Russia That we are well equipped. The “Reds” would raise the “Old White Flag” To show us they were licked. Then towards home our boys would sail, Some wounded and not well. They all, then, would be free to shout: “We've served our time in Hell!” NATALIE PHILLIPS Class of ‘54 I take my pen in hand To write of days gone by; Of summer which has faded Against the autumn sky. To retell all the glory I found in summer days, And most of all to kneel before The Lord and sing Him praise. Summer in its glory Will soon be in the past. September brings fulfillment Of the dreams we hoped would last. And we begin to notice, Against the autumn sky: The fading marks of summer, The scene of days gone by.

FRESHMAN INITIATION The annual Freshman Initiation was held October 27, 1953. We feel that everyone had a good time, even the Sophomores who really had a tough time thinking of enough stunts for the great number of Freshmen. Some of the stunts were repeated from recent years. It seemed that at recess and at noon it was kind of hard to find a few of the Freshmen. Do you think they could have been scared of us, or were they being clever in hiding? I wonder if Ravena Lawrence and Eleanor Lindsey improved on their counting ability? They only had to count the people coming in and out of the building ! Do you think Gloria Goodspeed will make a good mother? She had quite a time feeding Larry Ormsby his dinner. I wonder why Christine Reed was crying the night of the initiation. ‘.Suppose it could have been because she was rolling an onion across the floor with her nose? Leland Nowell must be experienced at washing faces. He certainly did a good job washing Grace Overlock's. The Freshmen displayed good sportsmanship both during the day and the night. CAROLYN LINDSEY Class of ‘56 THE MAGAZINE CONTEST The Magazine Contest began on September 15, and lasted until the 1st day of October. The school's quota was $1400 but we were very successful in going over the top with $1556. The Senior Class won first prize of $35 for the class sales- manship award and the Juniors were runners up. Individual prizes were won by Danny Robinson, Priscilla Dole and Robert Reardon in that order. THE SPELLING CONTEST Jean Hill, Jean Pinkham, Carolyn Lindsey, and Ravena Lawrence represented Hermon in the League Spelling Contest held at the Hermon I.O.O.F. Hall November 6. East Corinth won the trophy. FROM THE EDITOR We wish to thank the Bangor School department for the use of the Mary Snow gymnasium until our new gymnasium was completed. Much hospitality was shown in letting the basketball teams use this building in which to practice. We also wish to thank the Triumph I.O.O.F. Lodge of Hermon for the use of their hall for the Senior dance and the Spelling Contest. This year being the first year in the new high school, we have become aquainted with new rules, schedules, and systems. Also, our new rooms and equipment, which we have lacked in the past, need special attention at all times to keep them in the perfect condition they (continued on page 12) Compliments of J.F.
