C. LSCROLL 5 iffllfll SPORTSMEN When we think of Pearl Harbor, it gives us a certain satisfaction and pride to realize that we cannot imagine our nation stooping to do the thing the Japanese did to us. ln America there's 9, sporting instinct that would make such an underhanded and clan- destine move impossible. The code that so prevalently would upho-ld us is A sporting, chance for man and beast. Summer and fall stretch ahead of us-the time of year when we all have a special chance to show whether or not we live up to this code, looked upon as one of our major characteristics. In spite of the stern condi- tions, many of us will be able to get into the woods, up on the mountain tops, out on the prairies, the lakes, the streams, the ocean shore, and drink in the peace and beauty of our land. But where d-:les the sportsman cfme in? Well, the person who follows the rules and laws, who releases the undersized trout, who fishes and hunts according to the conven- tional lawsg in other words, who gives the wild creatures the same sporting chance he would accord humans, is building up char- acter in the true American way. Hzw im- portant this devel-opment of character is during our school life! All students are con- scious cf some type of sportsmanship, not necessarily in the field with rod and gun, but in daily contact with our fellow men. The boy or girl cn the basketball couri, -:lr on any other field of sports who would rather play fair than win is laying a firm foundation of good sportsmanship which we find so essentially important as we prepare for entry into a career. Perhaps y:u are going to spend your sum- mer in war work, or even in the service of your country, thus giving up the long vaca- tion days or possibly years of your life in helping Uncle Sam in his great time of need. That in itself is as sporting a thing as you can ever do. Let's make whatever we attempt a worthwhile thing. regardless of its nature. N. S.. '45 DID YOU EVER THINK OF THIS? Why did you come to Higgins? Did you plan to have a good time, to study, or tc- dc both? You may think the first and second quite possible but you may frown upon a combination of both. Well, they go well ts-- gether. DOI1't you think most of the horor students have a maximum of enjoyment as well as of opportunity to study? The major- ity of h:nor students will agree with me. If you will refer to the Senior section of out yearbook you will notice that the honor students carried the extra curricular activ- ities. D:esn't that prove something to you? Now, to be a little more personal, look at ycur past activities and your future. In the undergraduates' remaining years here, they should pick out the extra curricular activ- ities they feel they would enjoy. Then they should stick by them. When you have four years of knowledge under your hat and the memories of many happy hours .spent be- yond the shade of a study hall or a class- rcom door doing other things, you can say. I've accomplished almost as much as 1 would like tc- have done. Further, tell yourself, Next year I'll do that little extra I couldn't dc- this year and then I can be proud--to plan more for the following year. How much longer is this? You're asking by now. Well, I've said about all .I want tc. Mull it over in your mind and find the moral to this editorial, if there is one. But then again, if y:-u've been polite enough to read this far you deserve to be told: Study and have Fun! P. L. B. '45 .. DETERMINATION To me determination is the quality most necessary for a successful career. We might ask- What is determination ? It is a pur- pzse, a resolution or the act of deciding. Throughout cur child life, teen-age days and after we have reached manhood or wimanhood, we promise ourselves to do various things. These promises are resolu- tions and each one tends to make uf: do better. H. C. I. SCROLL : 'I ' 4 , , ,..1.- We can have the ability to work and to succeed, but if we lack determination, what. docs that ability amount to? We can be in- dustrious, but still, if we are not determined, our willingness to work does not do us a bit of good. Anyone can be courageous and still not make a success in life. Some people would agree with Coleridge, no doubt, when he said that 'The manls courage is loved by the women'g but, I should think that the femi- nine would love the quality determination more, since without it even the courageous person accomplishes nothing. Again, we have the educated one trying to succeed. Anyone would think that if he had a good education, he would be very prosper- ous. However, if he didn't use the education to a good advantage what benents would he receive from it? He must be determined to use it. If we are to succeed in life we must re- solve to be willing to work and to be coura- geous, but back of all this, we must be de- termined to do our best in whatever we attempt. M. Bradford ,45 WORK The very first disagreeable task that we face we always title work Wcrk is one thing that no one in any walk of life is spared. It is to be found at some time or ether in the darkness and in the light, for the child as for the man, among the wealthy as well as among the poor. No matter how powerful or how weak the standing of a person is, there is labor to be dealt with. We must be careful in the assumption of the actual meaning of the word labor or work. Work has a number of various mean- ings. Work can be that which is produced by mental labor as a book or literary work. it can be the material which is to be under process c-f manufactureg it can be a struc- ture in engineering, as a fort, or it can be simply the exertion of strength in order to ac-complish something. Now we can realize from these definitions that the meaning of the term work varies as it does for all other terms, according to their usage. Let us enlarge upon the subject work meaning the exertion of strength in order to accomplish something. The truth of Success is the Fruit of all Labor, a quota- tion occurring frequently in literary mater- ial, should be brought to your attention by illustration. The adjective all', modifying the no-un labor clarifies and justifies the entire statement. Ordinarily labor, such as the simple employment of sweeping a floor can easily be the foundation of a broad suc- cessful career. At this point we are able to include all the other definitions of work that I have pre- viously given, no matter what part of speech it may be. The reason for this is because of all the meanings of the term work, whether used as a noun or a. verb, the result is the same. Again we can insert a familiar quota- tion Every act rewards itself to express a desired belief. One thing we must remember is that in work as in life, we cannot cheat or carry on the work unfairly. Those who do that mere- ly cheat themselves and deduct from the reward which they will procure in the end. Thou shalt be paid exactly for what thou hast done, no more, no less, is a fitting way to close this editorial. Fr:-m all work there is a return, according to the amount done. J. P. '45 .,l,.-..l- WHAT SHALL WE D0 WITH GERMANY? Everyone in the world today has the same question in his mind. That question is, What shall we do with Germany after the war? There are three important funda- mentals underlying the whole question: ill Permanently disarm and demilitarize. C23 Arrest and arraign all war criminals. C33 Compel the German people to aid in the re- construction and rehabilitation of the world. Let us enlarge on each of these. First, with respect to military occupation and military rule. The Germans should help work out their own solution. The manner of handling prisoners remains tn be worked cut, for the Gestapo has made certain that everybody with any quality of patriotic leadership has been killed. Can faith be placed in the refugees who have fled the fatherland? A study of these groups shows that While all may be anti- Nazi, the majority are still essentially Ger- mans. They damn the Fuehrer, but in the same breath they say that the Allies shculd adopt a new policy, strategy of mercy . Until sound building material can be found and tested, it would be as bad as a third war to recognize any German gov- ernment. Since might is all they can under- stand, let us show them might. The only hope of enduring peace is to completely dis- arm and demilitarize the Germans. After capitulation there will still be pock- ets of resistance. Gestapo butchers and Storm Trcopers will fight to the last. Mili- tary occupation won't doom c-ur men to foreign service. The recruited force will come from the United Nations as a whole and the call on the United States will be comparatively small. The majority don't like the proposed division of a defeated Germany into three zones, because there was the same divided authority after the last war, which resulted in quarrels. The United States wanted a. joint administration, im-- H. C. I. S 9 ROLL p 1 proved to establish uniform rules and regu- lations. Secondly, punishment of war criminals. Justice should be quick and stern or the hcrror of mass reprisals cannot be averted. It is Russiafs opinion that punishment is the sole concern of the countries that have felt the fc-rce of German savagery. The United States thinks in terms of political and mili- tary individuals, while Russia holds that big business is just as guilty as those whose hands drip blood . 'I'hird, with respect to a demand on Ger- many for reparation there is complete agreement. Some are for the destruction of German industries and compulsion of Ger- many to a purely agricultural state. But the occupied countries, looted and ravaged, wait to be rebuilt. The staggering cost should be borne by the Germans. If Germany is turned into an agricultural natio-n, how can they pay either in cash or kind? Some Americans think that German industries should be thrown into high-gear to produce goods for the looted countries. Germany, however, is not to retain her industrial su- premacy. There is no doubt that the Ger- mans will attempt every kind of deceit and evasion. An efllcient system can estimate German needs and shut down on the sur- pluses. German borrowing should be put under a magnifying glass before authoriza- tion. Summing up, these are the determinations cf the United States in respect to the treat- ment of the Reich. ill Military occupation to drive home the fact of defeat and to en- force permanent disarmament, until the Germans prove a capacity for self-govern- ment: 123 The punishment of war criminals by military tribunals, and C31 Sweat and sacrifice 'by the German people until the ruin caused by the German fury has been paid in full, and the process by which this is d-c-ne, safeguarded by Allied control 01 German industry and finances. W. Allen '45 WHAT SHOULD WE D0 WITH JAPAN? What should we do with Japan? That is one of the most puzzling questions that has come out of this war. The Japanese started their war against China, in 1936 and in 1941, spurred on by the Germans, attacked the United States. Now that the United States have the Jap- anese on the defensive the great question is -What shall we do with Japan after we conquer her? Shall we let her govern her- self? I would say No , very emphatically. I think that Japan should be given to the Chinese peo-ple. One reason for this is that the Chinese have suffered a great, deal at the hands of these barbarians, and should have a just compensation. Another reason why the Chinese should have Japan, instead of the United States, is because Japan is very near to China and wouldn't be so hard to control from there. If the United States to-ok over the go-vern- ment of Japan it would have to send over an army of occupation to control the country. This project would prove to be very costly and very troublesome. Probably the United States will have enough troubles at home without having to take care of thc Japs. Of course, the United States should pro- mote the Democratic way of living in that troubled country. We should send -sfver mis- sionaries, doctors and other essential pro-- fessional men to teach them our religion and new way of combating malnutrition, of which there is a. great deal in Japan. On the whole, I think that if Japan is taken over by the Chinese, with the help of the United States, she can build Japan into a country that will be not much different from our own. A. A. '46 BHDITARY TRAINING FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BOY This is 9, question ln many of the young men's minds today as well as in many other peoples'. A bill is now being taken up at Washington for the boys to have a year's training after the war. Does this mean that the boy that turns eighteen while in high school will have to go for his t-raining be- fore he gets his diploma? If it does mean that he will, I don't think it should be. Dur- ing war time and when they are in great need of men it is better for a, boy of eight- een to go rather than a man with a Wife and three or four children. It shouldn't be necessary, however, to take a boy out of high school when we have peace and break up his education. The year's training given to him would show him a little of the United States and maybe of the world. It would do the boy who is eighteen and out of high school some go-od, but for a boy who is eighteen and not out of high school, it would only break down his will to continue his education. The army would build the boy up physi- cally but not in character and mental abil- ity. The school is the best known character building place outside of the home. What good would it do us to leave high school to learn to kill and to learn more about blood- shed? The army gives a boy traits which make him seem older than the ordinary high school boy. Let the boys that don't care to finish high take the year's training now. But for those boys who want to continue school, let them take their year's training as S0-Urn as they leave high school. 8 H. C. I.SCROLL When this War is over We hope and pray that we won't have another. It doesn't bring very high hopes for not having another if we are going to get trained to fight and kill instead of learning things that would be both a benefit to ourselves and a. more peaceful nation. Yes, it is a good thing for boys to have a year's military training if they are eighteen and out of high school as we shall have to have army enough to pro-- tect ourselves. On the other hand let the eighteen-year-olds stay in high sch-ool until they get their diplomas if they have that much ambition and then give them the year's training. I know I will like it better if it is that way. I hope I'm not considered a fifth colum- nist, but give us a chance and we'1l Hnish our education and do a better job of living afterwards. O.

L64 aft THE PILKES' MANSION Overdecorated in the fanciful, ssmewhat grotesque style of the late Eighties, the Pilkes' Mansion st:-od like a solemn old judge watching over the remains c-f a once prosperous town. Withdrawn from the street at the top of a. low mound, the sentinel stzod shielded by mighty oaks cn one side and obscured on the other by a tall, wild hedge. The gray facade was open to the street. The exterior was Well preserved by a recent coat of dull paint. Three columns rose directly in front, two supporting the eaves, the third in the center. High, ornate win- dows showed behind these massive columns. 'Ihe Pilkes' Mansion represented portions -of Greek, Gothic and Southern Colonial Archi- tecture combined in an impressive manner. Inside the house lived the sole daughter and heir of the honorable Judge Pilkes who had once directed Graytown bef:re its fall into obscurity. The faithful child had lived al:-ne in the great hcme after her mother's death which came soon after the Judges. She would have lived in this self inflicted solitary confinement for thirty years, come spring. Following her mother's death she, never a mixer, had fallen into a dull round of routine that filled all her waking hours. Each year she seemed to Withdraw further into the innermost recesses of her soul. Each year marked the advancement of her re- moval from life's activities, those with which so many people try to cram their own lives. Life was a series of steps or rises, she once decided. At the time, she felt she could look forward to nothing more than a continua- tion of these steps. Her first few steps were entirely forgotten now: childhood, public school, and an unsuccessful year at a young ladies' foundation academy. Then came a secluded, sheltered existence as a young lady. Never on any of these steps was there a man, except for the hen:-rable Judge Princeton Pilkes who was a closer compan- ion and director than her mother of her daily life. She had loved her father deeply: he was the only love in the building of her stairs. Following his demise, she had gone on, broken in heart, living in a rnotdy state cs. with her grieving mother. The mother failed to realize her daugh- ter's condition because of her interest in her own intense feelings. Try as she might, the honorable Judge's wife never succeeded in throwing aside the veil that her daughter had succeeded in placing between them. The mc-ther, too, became a veiled soul and the two szrrr:-wing ladies were as two planetary bodies, revolving in a definite plane about one another. Their communication was hardly adequate to break the silence in the mansion and when one disappeared int: obscurity the other went on unobservant -cf the change. That is, inwardly the death and funeral cf the mother had no effectg out- wardly, a pitiful indifference was apparent. 'The pattern went on unchanged actually. Her singular life still followed a twisting, obscure plan. Looking at her destiny from a distance the same gloomy atmosphere shrouded it from beginning to end. The church had no place in her plan, she even stopped .saying her devotions after her father's death. For a few years after her mothers death she had a maid servant in daily but had suffered no conversation with her. Eventually this service was discontin- ued. For the past twenty years she had done her own meager cooking and housewc-rk. Twice a year cleaners came in to repair and to clean the house, in September and in March. Twice a year she kept to her racing, allowing nothing to break her fast of silence. Food was brought once a, week and left in the entry at the rear of the house. Her confinement became more and more complete. As she withdrew ever increasingly her destiny she led an ever simpler e':ist- into ence. She had come during the last five years to be partially blind. Her sight was failing from lack of prcper fc-od and, too, since she never used her eyes, from the perpetual dusk which she maintained in thc mansion. The shades and heavy drapes that covered the great tall windows had been drawn for a decade or more. The dark, silent interior remained in unnatural shad- cws constantly. Night was master here. The end of the stairs of Old Maid Pilke's H. C. I.SCROLL 19 3 5 2 5 :? earthly destiny was now just beyond sight. '1ruly, a sister to darkness, she rose each day to move about in simple tasks that had become routine. As evening drew near she always seemed to move with a little greater energy. Then as total black Hlled the very centers of the many vast rooms and cham- bers, she would pause to rest in the second parlor. Then, she ended her daily vigil with the ascent of the great front stairs. In her rc-om she slept once again, not from need, but from force of habit. Tonight marks the dramatic highlight of her steps. On this eve Old Maid Pilkes settles with Destiny and prepares for the morrow on whence her descent will start. Her steps add up now to form a great circu- lar staircase. The material is dull and color-- less-except for the top. That last one has stairs. She moved on, nevertheless, despite the fact that her f-:ct struck something to the right of the stai1's. She moved on to her own destruction for she toppled headlong down the staircase. How to describe that which is indescribableg how can words tell cf the end of a life. The end comes: there is no time between life and death. A 5-:fund comes: the pillow plumps halfway down the staircase. Now some writing can be read. The needle point on the little green cushion tells of life, how it is made up of steps. Since it is unfinished the remaining thoughts of this moralizing are, too. Old Maid Pilkes had passed -:Iver the tcp step to start a new flight of steps.

Does it n-:t fulfill her destiny perfectly? How extraordinary singu- lar that her staircase should reach to such an ironic conclusion. Old Maid Pllkes rose from the worn cush- ion of the second parlor's horseha.r sofa and slowly passed out into the great en- trance hall of the mansion. Here she paused as was customary with her to catch her breath before climbing the grand hall stair- case. Her ascension was painfully retarded and uncertain tonight. Her frail figure, wasted away to a shadow, like the seigeless ones she lived among, gradually made the grand sweep of the steps. Since the house was plunged into total darkness she passed invisible to the upper hall. Only the muffled scraping of her sh-ces gave a touch of life to the otherwise blank scene. How elcquent- ly those shuffling footfalls spoke of her weakness! As she reached the head of the stairs there came another faint sound. As she brushed by a window seat just to the left of the top of the stairs she accidentally kn-c-cked from it a small green scfa cushion. She went on down the hall unaware of the minor accident. The cushion had been laying on a corner of the window drape. When it fell the drape swung back and hung, leaving a small open- ing. All night the moonlight slid in thrc-ugh this opening making a narrow spire of light whose p-:int ended -on the green pillow. As the sun rose the hall took on definite shape. that is, objects became visible as to shape and size. More light came in through that opening than the house had seen since last fall's cleaning. A new day had begun. The Old Maid came from her chambers at eight and was startled into closing her eyes because of the light at the head of the X Peter is a hero today. Only twc- years ago he used to go hunting and fishing with me, and new he is one of the war's greatest heroes. When the war started in 1941, Peter en- listed in the United States Army Air Corps. After receiving his basic training, he was then sent to Randolph Fleld Where he was to receive his advanced training. After three m-:nths of strenuous training he was trans- ferred to the 109th Combat Unit, and was sent tc- Europe where he was to pit his skill and learning against our foes, the Germans. It was on his first flight over occupied France that he shot down his first German plane. I can imagine how he must have felt for he would never hurt or harm an animal or pers-:n if it could possibly be helped. Bu: even to Peter there was a greater reason than the thought of killing. After being in Europe for a year and a half, Peter was sent back to the United States with thirty-two German planes to his credit-a feat that has never been accom- plished by any other American flier. When I first saw Peter, I c:'uldn't help noticing the remarkable change that had taken place in him. He seemed to be years older than his actual age and also his hands trembled as he placed them upon my shoul- ders, but his voice was just the same, al- though his lips trembled as he spc-ke to me. Never will I forget the words that he spoke. Don, I have seen a lot in the past tw: years, but I would gladly exchange all of that for just one of the good times that we used to have and enjoy. But now that the war is nearly over, there is no jcy in it for me because Peter is gone. and all the medals that have been awarded to him cannot pacify me, for my brother is dead. Ted Farrell '46 20 H. C. I.SC'ROLL s-1 --- PASSING THROUGH Perhaps the most interesting scene in any large city is the hustle and bustle of a rail- road station. The business man, the service man, the traveler, the vacationist, and people from nearly every walk of life, are represented. I waited nearly four hours for my train one day and during that time I took notes on what I saw. 'I'he door opened from the right hand side of the room and on each side was a group of ten rows of seats facing the opposite group. The people walked down the aisle between them and up to the ticket booths. Immediately beside the doors were three telephone booths constantly in use. Through the door flowed a constant stream of people. I watched two very well dressed business men, distinguished by their briefcases, walk half way across the floor, pause to talk business, and then, when a vacancy appeared, step forward to buy their tickets. A cabby rushed in to make a phone callg he knew his number and didn't waste time looking it up. An old man, probably a small time business man, or maybe a doctor or a dentist also walked up to a booth, went in, and then remembering he didn't know the number he was to call, came back out, went to a window with a directory and spent at least five minutes looking up the number. Four well dressed women, perhaps averag- ing thirty years cf age, came through the door. They appeared to be sure -of them- selves as if they had traveled many times before. I imagined them as going to or re- turning from a convention of some so-rt. A sailor and two girls appeared. One I knew was his sister, the other his wife or sweetheart. The girls sto-:id together talking while he purchased his ticket. Then they all sat down for a last talk together. A train pulled in and hundreds of passen- gers thronged into the station. It did my heart good to watch the embraces of sweet- hearts, mothers and fathers as they wel- comed their servicemen home on leave. I no- ticed one extremely tall soldier, a private, as he walked through the throng flanked on one side by his father and on the other by his sister while behind him walked his mother with tears of joy streaming down her face. His father was a proud as a pea- cock, and why not! Of course there was the incoming business man always hurrying to reach the door be- fore someone else if he could and rushing outside into the maze of the city tc- lose himself in. the moving tides of people. Finally the crowd resumed its normal size and as I looked around I saw the same faces I had seen before the train came in. Of course there were new ones but the old ones still remained. A girl and her mother Walked in and I could imagine her returning to scho-ol from a vacation or a week-end home. Six sailors made a lot of noise when they came in. They probably had been on leave and were returning to their base. They rep- resented friendship and co-operation in the highest degree as they slapped each other on the back, laughed and joked as they left the social life for a, while. Suddenly over the loudspeaker came the announcers voice, Train leaving for somewhere in seven minutes cn track eight at the east end of the station . That was my train so I picked up my suitcase, the magazine I had bought to read on the train, and went out onto the plat- form and from there into the train, just another passenger, passing through. R. Cameron '45 Tl-IE VALLEY OF WINTER TROPICS During the days and years of the gold rush into the Klondike, late in the nine- teenth century, there were many stories told and invented and then retold to the civilized worldg these were prolific, erroneous as such tales are apt to- be. The tale of the Winter Tropics was one which aroused much curiosity and also dis- belief. 'I'he theme or leading topic stated that a valley, either in the Yukon or eastern Alaska, was nestled high in the mountains and that this huge valley was exactly the opposite of its surroundings. This basin was said to be exactly like the tropics in every Way! Graham Koran and Sam Little, soldiers of fortune, were so captivated by this yarn that they began to prepare an expedition by which they would explore a huge amount of territory in North America, from Hudson Bay to the coasts cf Alaska, in search of the Valley of Winter Tropics. Koran and Little even went to the extent of consulting geol- ogists to ascertain if such a place could exist. Early in the spring -of nineteen-hundred and seven these two men made their way northward and began their very arduous search in the great Northwest. Months and months wculd pass before these explorers entered a trading post. Always their answer was No in regard to the valley but never did their ardour become dampened. Late in the summer of nineteen-hundred and ten, Kc-ran and Little, wearied by fight- ing sickness and the hardships of the wil- derness, were about ready to admit how extreme a presumption their ideas had been. One day they were amazed as they passed H. C. I.SCR.OLL 21 h il- I I up a canyon and through a high-cut by what lay before them. It was the very ob- ject of their years of wandering and search- ing. It was the wondrous Valley of Winter Tropics was but an hoiu s travel down the mountainside. Truly, this valley was appropriately named, for snow covered mountains rose steeply on all sides. The valley was about thirty miles long and it averaged about fif- teen miles in width. Throughout was a pro- digious growth of ferns and jungle plants of all kinds. The temperature was very high and a great deal of precipitation fell. No- wlld animals were present except a form -or bird which had four legs and a trunk like an elephant. This animal co-uld fly very fast and it made noises very much like the mocking bird. This led to the theory that other birds and animals must have been in the Valley at some time because this bird imitated all the other birds and animals kno-wn. The explorers plotted their position with what instruments they had, very carefully, checked their course homeward, and collect-- ed some plant material to take for exhibi- tion. These hardy men were just ready to leave for the sub-zero temperatures when Koran contracted malaria and died. Sam Little then made his way back to civilization with his wondrous tale, his plant life, and the position of the Valley of Win- ter Tropics. When professors, in whom Little confided, plotted his position on a map, Little was astounded to see that his figures designated a point in South America, high in the Andes. Of course this threw Little's story off completely and he was proclaimed a liar. The explanation given by him was that the stars were exactly the same as the stars in the corresponding point in the Southern Hemisphere, and as he had to use the stars in plotting his position on a map he would be placed in So-uth America. Throughout the ensuing years a few men searched for this valley after hearing I.ittle's story, but never has anyone re-dis- c-:+vered the Valley of Winter Tropics. N. Soule '45 THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES Despite the vari-:Aus disadvantages of war- time living, my parents, last spring, agreed that my knowledge of historical points of interest around Boston was. like that of all Bost:nians, quite lacking. The result of the agreement was an unusual tour of Boston and its neighboring vicinity. Of the two weeks entirely devoted to sightseeing, one cf the most interesting lo- calities that I visited was Salem, the city of Witchcraft. It was in this city that I saw one of the most, exciting, unforgettable points c-f interest: The House of Seven Gables. As I swung off the paved highway into a tiny narrow street hardly wide enough for one car to pass another, I was moved by the contrast of the neighborhood which I had just entered with the one I had left behind. At the far end of the tiny street I co-uld see an odd-shaped, weather-beaten house and realizing that this must be the famous House of Seven Gables I drove toward it. The first thing that drew my attention as the car came to a stop opposite the house was the unpainted fence through which could be seen the famous Salem Elms, and beyond, the gray-colored structure. Pro- ceeding through the gate and toward the house I viewed a spectacular piece of archi- tecture. I noticed the large gable facing the street and walked around the house to counf, the remaining six gables. Thus satisfying my curiosity the first thing. My inventory hav- ing been completed, my attention was drawn to the small, somewhat out of date door that was in the front gable. As II again walked ar:-und the house I noticed the black moss which covered the roof, the var- ious slzed chimneys, and numerous cdd shaped windows in the building. The grounds surrounding this edifice were apparently taken care of by a caretaker, be- cause the grass had been recently cut, flower gardens were neat and the hedges trimmed. I wandered amc-ng the many tiny gardens for a few minutes but soon had turned back again to the little front dc-or, wondering how I could see the inside of the house. Upon trying the door I found it locked and in the corner of the window a small card-Visitors 2-5 p.m.-It was 5:30 pm. and my chances of seeing the inside of the house were lost en- tirely. But just to see the -outside of The House of Seven Gables was an advantage, and I left it with many thoughts that I have never lost. J. Peirce '45 THIS IS MUSIC?

For the benefit of the unenlightened, let mc quote a bit of a Cowboy song ffor that is the appelation they have given for want were finer of something better, if such a thing possible! I may miss a few of the points in my laborious description but even ardent adherents of that type of music will admit that I know plenty about the subject. We find our combination vocalist and in- trumentalist, two terms being used locsely, and watch him prepare for this rendition. He looks harmless enough, dressed like a house-fire in the attic with the gr:-und floor splitting from lack of support. He sings without music, as you'll soon learn. Attached to a strap over his shoulder is his musical instrument which he calls a gueetar but which we know is a, guitar by its shape. His face is contorted by expectancy of what is to ccmeg his mouth is -o-pen to a most re- vealing extentg his palate quivers with the first notes that will come our way soon. The number with which we shall be honored is a most solemn, sad, almost re- ligious ballad c-f western life: When Grand- pa hit Grandma with the Shovel, She Snuffed Out Like a Candle. Please don't cry yetg you haven't even heard it. With a 'I'wang, Twangf' a Twang-a-twang, and four twangy twangs we are precipitated into the solo. This lack of introduction is sup- posed to hide the fact that the recitalist Knows few variations of his Twangs. Whether for not we suffer or gain by the brief overture is debatable. But less talk and more description. In a tremendously sad voice our Lone Cedar Troubadour commences the piece. He has some tune, in fact, a definite -one which ex- tends to the end of the line. This same tune is repeated almost unchanged for the re- mainder of the wo-rk. However, with each successive verse we feel more unsettled. Right about the thirteenth verse people about us who have been a perfect audience, rapt in attentive awe at the hidden beauty of the opus, begun to sob hysterically. The raving of the homicidal maniac of a grand- father over the result of his brutal beating of his wife has moved them deeply. They weep convulsively. We listen as the horren- dcus tale unfolds. Oh, grampa how could you do it? The Children, so sweet, they asked. How could you belt poor grammy dead? We loved her to the last. Oh, young'uns kind, I do not know Why your grammy I did hit- With my best new shovelg It made a dent in it. On the twenty-second stanza we realize that the tale has been sung out. Now from that tearful dramatic song we expect tc- be released. But no-comes now the crowning event of the occasion. A series of tremulous whacks at the already sorely tried guitar forewarns us of a coloratura-like glorious finale. We get more than we expect. Our Lone Spruce Minstrel opens up ibut def- initelyil and belches forth a jumble of Yo- de-lay-eo-o's and various other unintelli- gible mad cries that oover the length and breadth of the known musical scale. We also hear some other sounds that must be mentioned as they form an integral part of the opus. These are indescribable wails of excruciating pain. The distorted face and figure of the victim Cat least, he is one? are proof of this. Just look. Then in a cataclys- mic c-:-mbination of voice, twangs, overtones and undertcnes we are precipitated from this sample work of art by a grand slam- bang twang on the gueetar to end all such twangs . And high time, too, you have to admit! My main reason for disliking this particu- lar type of music is obvious. The lyrics are absurd, poorly written, and of no conse- quence. Their mournful qualities are no-t apparent to me but some find these ex- tremely sad. I recall a song in particular, entitled, Old Shep, which ,I first heard when I was seven. I was bewildered. When I saw my friends weeping I couldn't connect the trashy lyrics with their plight. However, not wishing to appear different, I wept toc-. the next time I heard Old Shep. I haven't heard this since but I have been brutally exposed to -other similar works. I weep no more. A wave of disgust sweeps over me at the poor quality of the music and the atro- cious grammar embodied in the lyrics. How intelligent people listen is beyond me. I don't think really intelligent people can bear to listen. My reasons all add up to nothing, which is just exactly what these sings avail and merit. Exposed as we are to this type of music via. the radio especially, we may be thankful for the button marked OfI ! P. L. Bishop '45 l-ii..-li TRUE CONFESSION With great trepidation, I climbed on the bus that eventful morning. I was bound for the dentist's, who shall for obvious reasons be called Doctor X. I had been to Doctor X o-nly once before having previously been V. . ,. .. .....,,., .,, vw. H. C.I.SCROLL 23 -- n if- 5 attended by Doctor Y, a few doors down the Doctor X. hall. I have never enjoyed my visits to the den- tist, but I never c-:-uld evade making them. This morning I was unusually nervous. When the bus reached my destination, I dismounted and walked a few steps to the dcor leading to the upstairs part of the blc-ck. I o-pened the door and ascended the stairs, literally quaking in my boots. I walked down the hall to the omce d-3-or and, following the instructions on the door, I walked in. A My appointment was for an early hour, and the ofllce nurse had not yet arrived. The doctor came in and asked my name and if I had an appointment. He seemed quite astonished when I said, Yes, but he didn't stop to argue. I followed him to the chair. He started to work immediately. I twisted and squirmed in agony, but when he was through drilling, all he said was, Ah, ha! That didn't hurt much, did it? I glared in helpless anger. He now seemed to want to converse with me. Who did this other work? he began. Oh, that Doctor Y down the hall! I re- turned scornfully. Who? Doctor Y, did you say? Why I'm Doctor Y! You'? Doctor Y? I was horrified. In what sinister plot had I become involved? I glanced at him. He was Wrathful. My mind began running in circles. All I wanted to do was to get out. V I began edging out of the chair, buf, he made no move to detain me. I still could hardly believe he was Doctor Y! I almost questioned his sanity. Now I question mine. You are? I repeated. You're Doctor Y? I thought you were Doctor X , I added unnecessarily. No he grunted indignantly. I kept moving towards the d-cor but he had another question to ask me. Weren't you satisfied with my work? What did I do? I jumped in headfirst. Well-er-well, you see, all my friends were going to Doctor X and-well-, I couldn't finish it. I finally reached the door, but he had one more parting sh-ct-a mere matter -of a, comparatively large bill for ser- vices just rendered. Well, at least I was in the hall, blut I still had an appointment With Doctor X, and how was I going to explain those three gap- ing holes in my teeth? I thought I would try to be more tactful this time, so I locked carefully at the name plate on the door be- fore entering the right odice. Once in, I summoned all the courage I could muster and incoherently poured my pitiful story into the sympathetic ears of He laughed. He kept on laughing. He told his nurse. She laughed. There they were-- two laugh-stricken humans! What was I dc- ing? I was laughing and crying,-crying be- cause I had so brutally insulted poor Doc- tor Y,--laughing because it was funny. I am st-ill laughing. In fact whenever I think of it-I laugh. J. Baker '46 TONY December had come in all its beauty to Vermont and great banks of snow lined paths and roads. Banks so high that one could not see over them. In front of the large colonial type home the freshly piled snow matched the gleaming white pillars of the front porch. Inside everything was bright and Warm. Children were popping corn, making candy and singing. Older folks sat around the warm room talking. Lying before the fire drowzily blinking his wise, brown eyes was Tony, a medium sized brown and white fox- terrier. At the time of our story he was nine years old. Tony was passionately attached to the family and he actively resented any intru- sion on its privacy or on his own. Today he felt good, he was warm, well-fed, and his family was under his observation. He was contented. Finally he got up and made the rounds of the house to be sure that everything was as it should be. Tony was the sole watchman and protector of the grounds and he took his duties very seriously. He paused before the front window. All he could see was the end -of the path where it opened into the highway. Thoughtfully he gazed at the empty road. Suddenly he started. Was that? Yes, it Was! Simon, his mortal enemy, the neighbors' yellow tomcat! Tony began to bark and whine in such a. Way that finally he was let out the front door. Like a streak he was on his way down the path. Then to the horrified ears -of the peaceful young group came a loud screeching of brakes, a pitiful cry of pain and then un- broken silence. Instantly they regained their senses and moved with one accord out the front door and down the path. There in the road was a huge moving-van and a sober- faced man holding a. brown and white dog covered with blood. Tony had not had a chance. When he rushed down the path, he could see no truck and no truck could see him. He had been killed instantly. The driver offered to pay but no amount or money could bring Tony back. When a dog is killed, there is a large sense of loss. as there is in the case of death of a person in the family itself. M. Baker '45 24 H. c. I. SCROLL HARVEST MOON It is a clear crisp night in September and as we go from the camp down to the lake at ten -o'clock we are dazzled by the glistening water and the beautiful harvest moon. Not until this moment do we realize what a glorious evening this full moon has made. We launch the boat and go sailing amidst all nature's glories. I sit in the bow, which rises several feet above the water when the boat is in mc-tion, and from this miniature tower I have a su- preme view. The moon is directly over head and -occasionally a whispy cloud floats over its face, momentarily masking the scene. As we round the tip of a point, on which the clear white sand and the somber black growth o-f evergreens appear in startling contrast, a sparkling seven miles of water is before us. In the distance the gray forms of mountains stand cloaked in land fog. As we turn, the wake of the boat can be seen spreading in all directions and it sends the moonlight dancing in fantastic patterns on what has been a serene and placid sur- face. An hour has passed and the moon has dipped very little. Now and then a light twinkles from a distant shore, but otherwise we are the only persons who dare venture into a realm so peaceful and so appealing to the eye. N. Soule '45 FUN! FOR THE UPPERCLASSMEN! The old house appeared to be black against the moonlight. Its shutters were tightly nailed in the windows. Through a crack in the doc-r, the flickering light of a candle could be seen. A boy walked up to the front door and sl-:lwly opened it. After peering cautiously into the room and seeing only a lighted candle on the table, he entered. This boy, Henry Smith, had received a note in the morning mail telling him to be at, the c-ld Sanders place at nine o'c1ock that night. Curiosity winning out, Henry now was at the Sanders place five minutes ahead of time. In the five minutes before the time set for his strange mission, Henry decided to ex- plore the h-suse. He started up the creaking the top he stopped to listen. stairs. At Voices were singing in the distance. Henry's down into his boots, but he heart sank bravely hauled it back up again and yelled, Who's singing? Immediately silence settled over the house. When he repeated his cry, silence was still his answer, so Henry continued his tour of exploration. The darkness was intense except for the tiny glow of I-Ienry's pencil flash light. Then he saw two glowing spots in the further corner, but only for a second. Then they were gone. Now Henry was really frightened, so when he heard the front door open he made a terrific rush for a hiding place. Try as he wzuld to be quiet, chairs seemed t-sf topple over, doors would bangg but Hnally he felt securely hidden. Peeking through the partly open closet door he saw white figures troop- ing down the stairs. Until then he had never believed in ghosts. Henry stealthily tiptoed to the head of the stairs and watched five gh:-sts seat themselves. Again he heard the front door open and in walked two of his classmates. The first ghost spoke, Glad to have you with us, bc-ys. Here, John, you sit here and Paul, you sit here beside him. Expressions of surprise and terror on their faces, the bs-ys obeyed. Unfortunately for Henry, he became too interested in what was happening to John and Paul to look out for himself. Before he knew what was happening, two ghosts, one on each side of him, were leading him down-stairs to join the group below. Again the leader spake, Why were you hiding, Henry? Are you afraid of us? Henry stammered above the noise his knocking knees were making. N-n-o. 'Then make yourself at home, replied the ghost. A Henry stumbled over to Where John and Paul were sitting. He was 'glad to have someone he knew with him. The arrival -of a. few more of Henry's classmates made him wonder what was hap- pening. By the pfuzzled expression on I-Ienry's face, a ghost guessed what he was thinking and answered, You will soon find out. Quietly the ghost leader stood up. Now we will show these boys our home. First, to the attic. Come, boys. I'll take the candle. With that, ghosts and boys trooped up two flights of stairs. Gallant boys, trying not to show their fear. When the attic door was opened, little black figures darted through the air and at the group. There were bats in this attic, dennitelyg nevertheless, the boys were ordered in. The ghost leader spoke. 'fEach one of you must catch a bat before We can continue to gc through the house. Bring them back to us. Not really knowing how to catch bats. the bays went into the attic and did their best, just to humor the ghosts. After a per- iod of time, they finished their mission and went on their way. Going from room to room, looking about them always, these boys opened door after H.C.I.SC ROLL 25 door as they were instructed tc- by their hosts. As one door was opened, a blood-curdling scream vibrated throughout the hc-use. A skeleton collapsed from its place in the closet. Terror filled Henry and his compan- ions. T3-o scared to do or say anything, the boys just stood there and shook. Urged c-n by the ghosts after they were able to move, the boys went down into the cellar. It was a damp, musty cellar with un- familiar black forms lurking in the dark- ness. Mice hurried back to their homes, in- dignant at being disturbed. Peeking around a barrel were those same glowing sp:-ts Henry had seen upstairs. Look, he shouted, I saw those upstairs and now they are down here. What are they? Everyone looked in that direction. Then into the radius of the candlelight noncha- lantly walked a common house cat. Scared of a cat, are you? chided Henry's classmates who had been just as frightened as he. At this incident one of the ghosts became angry, If you are afraid of a cat, then we don't want you here. Get out before we lcse our patience. A' chorus of voices all talking at once agreed. Yes, we don't want you here. Get out! Be quick about it! Hurriedly the boys scampered up over the cellar stairs and out the front door, full speed ahead. After gc-ing a short distance the boys gathered together, recovered their courage and decided to go back to the house. Creeping up to the back door and peek- ing through the keyhole, they saw only a small light, but they heard voice.s. One voice said, I guess we gave those freshmen a good scare. Anc-ther added, 'R1ey probably won't come back here again. Freshmen initiation is all over now, put in another voice. This was enough for the freshmen -c-n the other side of the door, so they pushed the door open: and there sat the ghosts eating doughnuts! Jean Allen '46 NEVER AGAIN I walked up the rickety stairs, my heart in my mouth, and -knocked at the door. Stealthy steps on the other side of the d-cor warned me that the door might presently be opened. I stepped quickly back. In what had I become involved? The door cautiously opened and a, pom- pous little man stood before me. An eerie light from within shed a ghastly PHHO1' Cn his face. His eyes were bloodshot and pro- truded fearsomely. Ah, he was speaking! You wanted something, ma'am? he in- quired. I winced as his grating vo-ice penetrated my senses. Why-er-yes. I tried to be firm and de- cided. Well, then be quick about it! I have other things to do. After clearing my throat with great care, I said, I want-I mean, a friend wants you to do a little favor for her. Come in, come in, said the spider to the fly. He was suavely genial now. Please sit down. Do you have the -er- package with yc-u 7 No, Well, I mean, its downstairs. My heart slowed to the gentle, methodical beat of the triphammer. How many are there? he questioned in- terestedly. Four, I answered, feeling like a, can- spiratc-r. Four, he snorted indignantly. Get out! Get out! How dare you waste my time and risk my safety! I never do less than eight at a time! Please, I remonstrated, please listen to me. I-my friend thought you would make an exception, with sumcient reimbursement, of course. He brightened perceptibly. Well, he pulled his gcatee thoughtfully, under that cgndition, certainly. Jfnl decided to end this conversation. A guilty, hunted conscience was stabbing me. Will you send a man after it? I inquired abruptly. Yes. He now seemed as anxious to end this conversation as I. Leave it at the foot of the stairs. He moved ponderously to the door and I fc-llowed suit. He made no move to open lt. Then, it dawned on me. I opened my pock- etbook, preparatory to meeting his mone- tary demands. He scrutinized me closely. Twelve, he said and braced himself. Twelve! I repeated indignantly. Twelve, Three for each one done. Weakly gasping, I paid him and descended the stairs, still gasping. Twelve dollars for laundering four shirts! It was preposterous! I made several mental resolves. I would never again patronize a black market laundry-even under the assumed role of friend. I would never again pay such outrageous prices. I would do my own laundry after this. I would never, never re- peat this experience! g,,' J. B. '46 26 H. C'. I.SC'ROLL THE DISASTER. OF WI-II'1'E'S BRIDGE At Sebago Lake, Wh1te's Bridge extends across the stretch of water which connects Jordan Bay with the Basin. The bridge is an enormous, aluminum-colored, steel struc- ture which serves as a meeting place for all the young people in the community. Some of the most daring and adventurous of the crowd dive from the top of the bridge into the fast-moving waters forty feet below. It was a hot summer afternoon and a crowd of us were diving off the bridge and swimming in the lake. Some of us were try- ing new dives while others were showing off their skills. Amidst the gayety and laughter a cry for help was heard. Not much attention was paid to the plea because that is a practical joke among the lake crowd. The joke ceased to be funny as we saw Jim Churchile, our pal, sink below the surface of the water. Clayton Churchile, Jim's brother dove in after him and pulled him to the surface. O. K. brother, please stop fooling and swim ashore. After Clayton had swum ashore he looked back and Jim had disappeared. Everyone screamed for help as three of us volunteered to dive for him. I was nervous as I heard the panic-stricken crowd, but I plunged in- to the inky black waters. As I kept going downward I could feel the mc-tion of the water swaying my body back and forth. Then I saw his body standing upright on the 1:-:ittom of the lake, his eyes, like 9, crazy person's in a trance. I reached for his out- nung arm but to my despair I was about three feet above him. My lungs needed air desperately and I raced to the surface leav- ing his bo-dy behind me. As I reached the surface and gasped for air I shouted Down here! Another diver disappeared below the surface. Half an hour passed before Clayton fi- nally succeeded in bringing his brother to the surface. Jim's unconscious form was laid on a blanket on the beach and artificial respira- tion was immediately begun. Jim's discolored form, his twisted face and sunken sto-mach was a scene unbearable to the eye, and es- pecially to his intimate friends. After they had worked on him continu- ously for two hours without success, Jim's limp body was carried away, never to re- turn to his friends nor to the lake he loved so well. Go-lleen .Snow '45 UCK IS WHERE YOU FIND IT The four of us, Bud, Shine, Stanley and myself were seated around the fire telling of the different fish that we had caught dur- ing the day. The sky was clear, and it seemed as though we were a million miles from civilization. Off to the right of us we could hear the rush of the water as it made its way up over the rocks that lay in its path. In another h-our the moon would be up and then the trees would be clearly il- luminated by its rays. Suddenly a red squirrel began to chirp its warning cry off danger. And then with a rustle of leaves, a man stepped into the ring of light given off by our fire. He was dressed in the garb of a woodsman. His high leather bc-3-ts were hand made and on his head was a battered old felt hat. Hanging on his hip was a 45-colt revolver. Walking over to our fire, he asked if he could sit and talk with us until the moon came up so he could continue upon his way. We invited him to have some supper, but he said that he had eaten earlier in the evening. But as he t-ook his pack from his back, he took a piece of bread and a huge slice of meat, and began to eat them. Suddenly he began to talk, and as he spoke, we sensed a feeling of fear and un- easiness creeping over us. I-le told us that he had often spent nights in the woods, and that he had traveled from one range of lakes to ano-ther, sometimes going for months without seeing a single person. His eyes, I noticed them for the first time, had a wild, restless look, and he would often gaze at one of us and then look in back of him, as if he thought sc-mec-ne were behind him. Suddenly he picked up his pack, and without a word, vanished into the thick woods. When we had finished our fishing trip, wc packed our things and made our way out to the village where we had left our car. Walking into the general store to buy some tc-bacco for my pipe, I happened to mention our meeting with the strange man. The storekeeper looked up and said, The man that you young fellows saw was Old Man Mose. He has been wandering around in these woods for close to twenty years. May- be you didn't know it, but you boys got off darned lucky, for the last man who saw him is just around the corner of the church. Getting into the car, we passed by the church on our way back home and just around the corner was a small, but ade- quate, graveyard. , R. Watson '45 ALONE It was a bleak, stormy winter day, the day before Christmas, as To-mmy Matthews, a bo-y of ten, looked wistfully out of the window. He had just received a telephone call from his mother who told him that she and his dad would not be able to get home I-I.C.I.SC ROLL 27 ii 4 - that night because of the snow-blocked roads. They had gone twenty miles away that morning to see his sick aunt and planned to return in the. afternoon. She tcld him that he might stay with his friend, Red Dillow, that night if he wished. Even Tommy's faithful collle, Laddy, seemed to realize the terrible predicament they were in. Tommy, though, gave up the idea of stay- ing with his friend because he wanted to win R,ed's approval more than anything else in the world, except to get the jacknife and compass that he wanted for Christmas. It had been Tommy's ambition ever since the secret club, of which Red was president, had been formed, to win Red's approval that he might also become a member. He was still pondering over his ambition when Red came across the yard. Tommy re- lated his small tale to Red who listened very attentively. Red invited him to stay over at his house that night but Tommy re- fused. They talked and had supper. Red told a strange st-:ry about the superstiti-ons of the former owners of the house. The queer old people declared that on stormy nights they saw lights in the woods, heard terrified screams, and saw white-robed figures rise frc-m the earth. Tommy listened in horror- strlcken silence while cold chills ran up and down his back. As Red started to leave, he invited Tommy -over again. When Tommy refused, because he was determined now, more than ever, to prove he was brave, Red reminded him that it was a very stormy night. After Red's departure, a dreadful quiet settled over the house, but he wou1dn't give in and call his friend. He decorated the Christmas tree but even with this diversion he couldn't erase from his mind Red's story. It must have been eleven cfclock when he ascended the stairs with Laddy close behind him. Finally he summoned enough courage to get into bed and turn off the light. A fearful hour had passed when he thought he heard a noise outside the win- dow. It grew louder and louder until it be- came a steady thump, thump, thump! He dared not move! His body grew rigid! His hands became as cold as ice! But what did he do? In desperation he sprang from his bed, dashed tc- the window, and flung open the shutter! There a twig from a tree by the window was being dashed against the house by the storm. He was so relieved that he flopped into bed and fell into a deep slum- ber. 'I'he next mcrning he was aroused by his mother telling him to come downstairs and open his Christmas presents. He uttered a cry of joy as he opened a, package contain- ing a jacknife and a compass. About two hours later, Red came over to find out what he got for Christmas. Tommy was just about the happiest boy in the world as he heard the words, I know the gan will be surprised when they find out that we have a new member in our club. Joan Johnson '47 'THE SCREAM One summer if llved with my aunt and uncle in the country in a large, old colonial building. There was a. rumor that the house had been -used by many, long forgotten people, whose ghosts came back at regular intervals to haunt the place. Now I don't believe there are ghosts and, of course, I thought, all that the people said was foolish. There was one night, however. that I do not like to remember and when I do, cold chills run up and down my spine. This particular night my aunt and uncle had gone to town leaving me alone in the house. I picked up one of those exciting books which make one's flesh crawl. Well, after reading half the book, I kept getting more and more uneasy at every little noise I heard. I looked, this way and that, around me but as I saw nothing and which I fervently hoped I would not, I re- sumed my reading. aI was reading one of the most exciting parts of the story--something like this- The man suddenly raised his arm, slashed down, and stabbed the old woman to death. Just as I finished that sentence I heard the most blood curdling scream that one could imagine. Even in the movies one never hears anything like that. The scream started in a low pitch, quickly ascending the scale until it nearly broke one's eardrurns. When it reached its highest note it broke off as abruptly as it had begun and silence reigned. I sat up straight as a ram rod and held my breath. I was petrified. I could feel the short hairs on the back of my neck suddenly come to attention and I wished I were so-me place else. After that awful scream I read on more but at first tried to whistlekas though that would keep my spirits up. I was a failure at whistling, let me tell you. Every time that I puckered up my lips to whistle, I would hear a noise: and my breath would just wheeze out of my mouth. I turned on the radio hoping that a nice musical program would make me feel bet- ter. Every station to which I turned seemed to have a murder mystery so I shut the radio off. In desperation I finally resolved to hunt 28 H,C.I.SC'ROLL up this inhuman creature which could make such a scream. I hated, however, to leave that room. Should I wait in the rc-om until my aunt and uncle returned. No, I resolved. I won't be a sissy be- cause of the wind or a cat or -. I finally crept to the door, opened it and turned on the lights in my uncle's den. I went to a corner and selected one of his numerous rifles. I quickly loaded the gun with some bullets I found on a shelf and bravely started out to iind the source of the noise. I searched the rooms that I thought the noise did not come from, at first. This gave me more courage to explore the last room which was directly over the one in which I had been reading. I walked down the hall and stopped be- fore the door to the room. I started to open it but a sudden thought came to me. What if it is a ghost, I reasoned, one of the former owners? Of course, as I said before, I dion't believe in ghosts, but to be on the safe side I walked back down the hall. At last I got up from where I was sitting cn the stairs, and walked back to the door. I put my hand on the knob two -:-r three times but it didn't do any good to do that. So finally, musterlng every ounce of courage, I threw open the door-and found the room-empty! A. Ainero '46 MURDER, IN TI-IE NIGHT . It is midnight-a little foggy, perhaps, at a haunted mansion on a deserted island, far out in a bay. In this mansion there are three sets of winding stairs that creak, and floors that sink because of rotted timbers. There is also a small set of stairs leading to the tower. Down to the cellar we go. In this cellar there are two dark, damp rooms. The floor is of mud except for a block of cement in the middle of the room with the stairs leading up to the first floor. What was hid- den beneath this block of cement no one had been able to discc-ver. Out of this secret vault our heroine emerges. Unlike most heroines, she is not streamlined but somewhat plump. From the cellar she goes directly to the stairs leading to the first floor. She goes very cautiously as thcugh fearing to cause a disturbance, as she would in a deserted mansion. When she reaches the Hrst floor, she starts through the kitchen, then evidently changing her mind, she starts up the rickety stairs to the sec:nd floor. For no reason at all, she goes through all the rooms as though looking for someone or something. At last she decides to go to the third iioor where she stops be- cause there is no place else to go, except to the tower. She starts on this last flight of stairs. In the meantime the villain appears on the scene. He approaches through a win- dzfw. He is small with long arms and legs. He enters the cellar and not iinding what he is looking for, starts searching through the mansion as our heroine did. First, he gces through all the rooms on the first floor and the same on the second and third floors. Then he comes to the small set of stairs leading to the tower. There he hesi- tates, undecided whether to go up or not. He seems to be looking for the first visitor whom we left in the tower, but finally he goes up to the top and into the tower rc-om. There i.s a slight swishing noise, then silence. The spider has killed the ily. Dorothy Higgins '48 THE SCARE OF MY LIFE It was in the mountains of Kentucky that I got the worst scare of my life. I was traveling as a shoe salesman in mid-Sep- tember, which is the rainy season, and the roads were so muddy I had to travel by horseback. I stopped at a small inn about five o'clock one afternoon and had a light supper. After feeding and watering Sally, my black mare, I set out for Hadyville, a small town ten miles from the inn. When I had been travel- ing for a half hour, darkness set in and a terrific thunder-shower came up. The thunder crashed and banged and the lightning streaked through the pitch black- ness on both sides cf the trail. A large tree came crashing across the trail about six feet in front -cf us and it was then that I began to get a little shaky. I suddenly realized that we had wandered off the nar- row trail into the deep Woods. Knowing that Sally had a better sense of our whereabouts than I, I dropped the reins and let her travel where she pleased. A clearing soon came into view and Sally trotted towards a. set of old tumble-down buildings. I was leading Sally to the shed when a hunch-backed, snake-eyed moun- taineer came c-ut, carrying a lantern and a double-barreled shotgun, which he kept aimed at me until I explained, I am very wet and cold. Do you suppose there is any possible way for you to put my horse and me up for the night? He grunted and motioned for me to fol- low him. The inside of the cabin was just asdirty as the outside. The windows looked as though they had not been washed since the cabin was built. Even under these con- ditisns, I was content to stay overnight, for the lightning was still Dashing and the rain beat against the windows with terrific force. H. C. I. SC' ROLL 29 4 I Having partaken of a meal of corn pone and greens, I asked, Have you a spare bed where I might sleep tonight? There is an old cot in the attic, he gruffly replied. Then, taking his lantern he led me through a trap door in the ceiling to the attic. Oh, you seem to have another visitor, I said, as I noticed someone in a cot by the trap-door. Yes, but he is dead. He died of pneu- m-:fnia last night. Here is your cot over here. With this he left the attic and closed the trapdoor behind him. In the eerie glow of my candle, I stosped over and examined the dead man. To my great horror I discovered that he had been murdered, for there was a large lump on his head. The cold sweat stood out on my forehead as I sat and th-ought what might happen to me, if I should go to sleep. Then I noticed a small window in the other end cf the attic and without waste of time I crawled through this window to the roof. After dropping to the ground, I hurried t-3' the shed where Sally was patiently waiting. She seemed to sense the danger we were in and proceeded to carry me away at breakneck speed. When we were a safe distance frcm the cabin, I suddenly realized that I had just had the worst scare of my life. 'Ihe old mountaineer apparently discovered my es- cape, fo-r, when I returned the next morn- ing with the sheriff, he was gone and I have never seen him since. Harold Hanson '45 A HORRIBLE NIGHT My friend and I were passing the night in an old, deserted mansion out in the country because our car had two punctured tires and we had no way of contacting a garage in the city. While we were preparing for the first night, stamping feet were heard in the attic. Being greatly alarmed by these noises, we were afraid to do much ex- ploring. After we had listened to this dis- turbance a while, we decided to Hip a coin to see whc- would lead the way to the attic. As luck would have it, I lost. As I was about to climb the stairway, fl knife struck the floor a yard away from me. There was a note attached which read: I am warning you. Do not step through the attic do:r. Having no means of travel ex- cept by Shank's mare , we had to stay that night. I could not sleep much, want to. I lay awake and ways to catch the ghosts , were, but doing is better than saying, I in fact, I didn't thought of mmv or whatever they thought. Finally morning arrived. We started for the brook a mile away to catch s:me trout for breakfast. I was so upset that I thought there were creatures behind every tree and rock. An hour afterwards, when we had caught our limit, we started back to the house. Af- ter getting lost several times, we reached the house late in the afternoon. We knew we would have to spend the night there again. We ate supper and soon went to bed only to be awakened by a tremendous racket which brought us out of bed. This is the last straw, I said, listening to a board being sawed and ripped from place. We had decided to get rid of whoever it was or at least make an attempt. Again we flipped the coin and again ,I lost. Reaching f-:-r a brokeng piece of stair- railing, I bounded up the stairs. Mustering my every ounce of courage, I threw open the door, found the room empty, a window open, and a ladder -outside. Charles Priest '45 LIZZIE'S TRIP Lizzie was going to take a trip. In all her b:rned days Lizzie had never been c-ut of her own yard. Now she was going to see what was beyond that clump of trees and who resided over the top of the hill. 1'm sure that everyone experiences at one tgme or another, that same feeling of unrest which urges us to explore and to satisfy that intense longing for a change of scene. 'Ihat is what Lizzie felt and she was plan- ing a trip. Then she would be satisfied to return h-:-me and to stay there forever more. Finally she was ready and pulling up her stakes, Lizzie started out. As she slowly ambled past the shed and barn, through the fence to the road shc curiously looked all around her. Suddenly she heard a dog barking. Look- ing behind her she saw the neighbor's hound running after her. Instantly she began to run, but that was difficult for one so large. and the dog was s-:ion nipping at her heels in a very uncomfortable manner. Lizzie was becoming very panicky when the dog abruptly stopped annoying her, having tired of the sport. She sighed and continued on her way. Lizzie soon found that beyond the trees flowed a rippling brook and beyond that a dark wr:-od Was to be seen. She explored contentedly for some time. Then she decided to see what was beyond the hill in the other direction. CPoor Lizzie, if she had -only re- frained frc-m venturing further.l As she went up the road a great black 30 H. C. I.SCROLL object came hustling toward her. She be- came paralyzed with fear, as it swerved and barely missed her, or, so it seemed to Liz- zie's inexperienced eyes. fOf course, we know it was an automobile, but Lizzie had never seen one before..J Gradually she regained her normal pla- cidity and somewhat subdued bu-t still de- termined she mzved on. She was contentedly observing the portion of the universe visible to her slightly near-sighted eyes when a chugging sound attracted her attention. It grew louder and louder until it was right over her head. She looked up timidly and saw, to her astonishment and fright, a huge silver bird hovering overhead. She had seen birds similar to this one before, but never cne so near or so noisy. COf course, we know it was an airplane and probably this pilot was practicing low-flying or uhedgehoppingub. Lizzie had never been so bewildered and dumbfounded, and thor- oughly frightened in her life. She turned quickly and ran for home as fast as her four legs could carry her, determined to stay the rest of her life in her own small pasture, peacefully chewing her cud. Limie, the cow, had taken her first and last, jolur- ney into the modern, civilized world. ' M. Baker '45 MY PET AVERSIONU The thing that I dislike the most in life is gossip. A person who go-ssips is an idle tat- ler and news-monger. He delights in spreading personal tales and groundless ru- mors. He acts as a familiar friend to every- one but in actuality is one of the most de- structive enemies a, person could have. In every small town there are gossips who make it their business to know and broad- cast that of others. As a rule they are pess- imists and never want to see the bright side -:lf life or see the good. in people. A gossip seldom says anything good about anybody. If he does, it is not because he really wants to, but because he is afraid -of revealing his own true nature to the person with whom he happens to be conversing. He goes about prying into the affairs of -others, gathering small bits of this and that, weaving it into an unpleasant story, and then begins spreading it like wild-fire. Often if, is done because of jealousy, but in many cases it is done without the least provocation. One who gossips only lowers and ruins his own character instead of the -clne's whom he ridi- cules. He will put himself out to be excep- tionally nice to your face but when your back is turned he will stab you in the back. The invention of the telephone is a great disadvantage to a community as far as gos- sip is concerned. If you are on a party line, it is always in use when you want it and when the gossips finally do run down and you have the line to yourself, you have to be careful what you say because there are always interested people listening in. Women have the reputation of being the ones who do all the gossiping, but not en- tirely. For example, if there are any seats in a country store, they are usually -occupied by men. Although they won't admit it men like to talk nearly as well as do Women and they do not always talk about their Work or hunting and fishing experiences. Gossips in a town can cause a great deal of unfriend- liness and unhappiness and can do much to prevent the devel:-pment of a thriving and pleasant community in which to live. God gave man one tongue And twice as many ears In order to repeat But half of what he hears. Marie Scott '45 DAIRY OF DOLLAR BILL Sunday: Today I went to church with Mrs. Grand. She hid me in the bottom of her purse so that when the osllection plate was passed, she would not be able to find me. Then she could put a nickel in with a clean con- science. I was very much disappointed be- caluse Mrs. Grand does not allow me to see much of the world. I guess she likes me pretty Well. Monday: This morning she lost me behind her desk. My, it was dusty! I thought I would sneeze George Washington right off my face! There was a cute little spider down there, dear Diary. Her name is Arabella Spider. She and I are going to correspond. Tuesday: Mrs. Grand found me this morning. It nearly broke my heart to have to leave Arabella. Her last words to me were, Dear Dollar, I will spin a web to you and bring you back. Our love cannot end like this. Gracious, she sure is sweet! By the way, Mrs. Grand seemed glad to see me. Dear me, I do charm the women don't I? Wednesday: This afternoon I went to a bridge party. Golly, how those Women could talk? I could feel George Washington blushing. I was very much injured, though, when Mrs. Grand crammed two pieces of cake and a couple of sandwiches in on top of me. Some- times she is so very rude. Dear Diary, my heart longs for Arabella. I do hope I will see her soon. Thursday: Today she left me on her desk! My heart was thumping and bumping so, that I was afraid she might notice it and m-ovve me. She did not, however. I sent a message to H. C. I.SCROLL 31 Arabella and, let me tell you, it did not take her long to come to me. Our ,joy was incon- ceivable. I don't think I could ever bear to be away from her again. She had to go home in a shcrt time but she pro-mised to ccme back in the morning. I certainly do h:pe Mrs. Grand will leave me alone. I'm saving her extra change for an engagement ring. Bet you can't guess who it is! Friday: My, how this week has flown! Arabella was here this morning. She had on a lovely pink dimity dress. She is very beautiful. We pledged our tro-th. It's going to be very s-con. I guess Mrs. Grand is going to leave me here. Dear me, I hope so! Arabella Bill. W:n't that be wonderful? Saturday: I can hardly hold my pen to write this last epistle. I have aged a hundred years these past few hours. I hardly think I can put it in words, Dear, Diary, but I will try. Arabella, my own dear Arabella, was mur- dered this morning. Mrs. Grand saw her coming to see me and, right before my eyes, she killed her. I want future generations to know that once ,I lived and loved. N-sfw, all is ended. I am going to commit suicide. I am going to my true love. Please do not think me a coward, Dear Diary, and please do not be too unhappy. Good-by, fc-rever and ever. Lovingly, Dollar Bill Joyce Baker '46 NOT A FANTASY In the year nineteen hundred and forty- four A. D. in the month of May, one of the most startling of Nature's phenomen-ons occurred. This is a first-hand description as I saw it. While walking down Main Street in Ban- gor, I was pleased to see a very dear friend whom I had not seen in several years. I stopped her and greeted her cordially. I no- ticed that she seemed rather quiet, but as I had a great deal to talk about I attributed her silence to my offensiveness. We crossed the street, entered the Atlantic Restaurant and ordered lunch. As I continued to talk, I noticed more and more my compa.nion's si- lence. I began to wonder if she really was the person I believed her to be. I asked her if she had heard from a mutual friend lately. She replied, No, in a listless way. I asked her how her husband and children were and she looked at me oddly, replying that she didn't exactly know. I jumped in alarm and surprise. What had happened? Was I dreaming or was she suddenly men- tally deficient? Finally we separated and silently I promised myself to make discreet inquiries from her relatives, but I never did. V I continued on my way for I only had a few hours to finish my shopping before the bus left which was to take me back to Charleston. I went into F'reese's to buy a. scarf and inquired of the salesgirl for a particular type that I wanted. She was ex- tremely vague and rather helpless. I became angry at her and stormed away without making my purchase at all. This scene 'occurred several times in F'reese's. It cm- tinued in all the stores of Bangor. The peo- ple seemed rather vague and sleepy. In fact the Bangor populace became a sleepy mob of people aimlessly walking up and down streets, in and out doors and up and down aisles with no purpose at all. Automobiles, busses and street cars moved slowly and sometimes stopped completely where they were. Newsboys barely whispered the glar- ing headlines of their papers. A tremendous inertia had the city in its awful grasp. I became frightened and ran fearfully this way and that, not knowing what to expect next. There was no one to turn to in my di- lemma. You can imagine my terror and horrified unbelief when I began to- see people lying down where they had a moment before been standing, and falling into a deep drugged sleep. Cars went out of control, smashing into each other. Gradually all sound ceased and a dreadful, oppressive stillness settled over the now sleeping city of Bangor. I was panic stricken. I thought I would lose my mind. I began to scream, but my screams only echoed and reechoed in the still city. I began to run and continued until, breath- less, I arrived safelv here in Charleston, Where all was normal and as usual. No one believed my story and they still don'tg but I am passing it on to you. prove'it, lI can offer the fact that there were no morning papers the next day. Even the presses had been still all the night before. The only clue to my mystery is a clipping from the evening papers disclosing the discovery of an impurity in the city water. Fantastic! Unbelievable! You may think so, but to my dying day I shall never enter Bangor without remembering and reliving the horrible scenes I saw that day in May in the year nineteen hundred and forty- four. 'IWC' M. Baker '45 SOCIETY LADIES CAN It is a busy rendezvous with the tumult -of a number of garrulous women and the clang of tin cans. Then out of the hurly-burly we can dis- tinguish: Where is the candy thermometer? Who took my cup? When can these brownies 32 H.Cl.I.SCROLL go into the cven? Do you think this cake is done yet? Finally after each one finds her require- ments, the subject of conversati-:fn drifts. It seems that one of our good women has recently undergone an operation. She thcught she would die. They placed her on a stretcher, then put a sheet over her. They wheeled her into the ward where all the patients were bewailing audibly and she thought she would die. Then onto the ele- vator and before she knew it, she was right in the operating room. A curtain was pulled and there she was, all alone with that Saw- bonesf' He tied her feet and arms to the stretcher and she thought she would die. Then he gave her ether and she couldn't remember what happned after that, except seeing him take out a lang knife like instru- ment. She thought she would die. From the expressions -cn her listeners' faces, I think they would have been glad if she had. Dur- ing this dying time, Mrs. Jones forgot she had candy on the stove and Mrs. Brown's nose began to pucker up: Smf, smi, smf. I smell something scorching. Scon the hilarity of the students is heard and one of the wcmen rushes to close the door for one might forget his position as a sophisticated student and ask to clean out the dish. Our good Mrs. Widdle Diddle, having fm- i.shed her canning for the evening, thinks she must be going, as she has a wh-ole ho-useful of company coming: her daughter Celicia andl her son-in-law, Alden, and all their charming little children. Her grand- mother is with her now and, she is a handful, she watches me at everything I do, you know how it ls, Dora? Well, ladies as I said before, I must be trotting along. Five o'clock comes early at my house. She grabs her pocketbook and trips out. These are -only two of the conversations carried on and the others are similar, but nevertheless they have their canning com- pleted for the evening. M. Rozelle '45 DAIRY OF A GREMLIN Monday: I started the week off well by making a nice big run in one of Betty's only pair of stockings. Wasn't she mad! What she said was terrible! It even made me blush. Tuesday: Today I let the air out of Jimmie's bicycle tires. As he was hurrying because he had overslept, I made him late to school. Conse- quently, Jimmie had to stay an hour after sch-:ol so he missed baseball. He was even madder than Betty. You know how boys love baseball. I do. Wednesday: I took it easy all day. into a fountain pen so went to write I made a All I did was get when Mrs. Green splatteration all over her light blue dress. It now has black polka. dots on it. Thursday? ll got up this morning spiratic-n. Thought I'd like to see a nice crash! So I took out the coupling in a train. When the train went up the hill, the last car rolled off the track and over the bridge. I heard that quite a few people were killed but I didn't stick around to find it out. Friday: Here it is Friday, the last day of school for awhile. I got it into my head that thc-se kids weren't doing enough Work. It was a wonderful day for baseball so I just got the teachers mad and they pounced a test on those students and everyone flunked it. Saturday: Let me tell you what I did today. Mary's boy friend called at seven so I tipped Junior off. Well it cost Jim a, quarter before he got Mary alone. Sunday: Today I decided to be good, seeing it was Sunday so off to the church I trotted, but when I saw all those openings I just couldn't be good any longer. To begin with, that alto was altogether too good so I dis- corded her. When the usher passed the plate, by some known means he dropped it and all those pennies rolled right down front. The sermon was getting pretty dry when I saw my friend Mr. Mouse and asked him to do me a favor. He :an up the ministers pant leg and the minister got so excited he yelled Amen which brought the .sermon to a close. D'on't you think I'm awful? M. Knowlton '47 THE WANDERER One more little angle worm has been brought into the world. For an angle worm, the life of little Henry, as we shall call him, was very interesting. Henry lived in a village with his parents, his brothers and sisters, and several other families of worms. The first Dart o-f his life he spent in child- ish glee with his playmates, wriggling their way through the ground trying to see who could make the biggest tunnel, the little worms had their fun. Hide and seek was an- other of their interests. The first rain storm Henry learned a, les- son he never forgot. Water poured down the streets in torrents. Everyone was swimming to get to the top of the ground. This was the first catastrophe of his young life. Hen- ry was one of the lucky ones. His escape was due to his mother's sad fate but it taught him the way to save himself from drowning. As Henry grew older, his curlosity made with a bright in- H. G. LSCROLL 33 l 7 him want to see the world. He started for the unknown, one day thinking he would go just a short distance. He wandered through the ground peering questioningly at all the other bugs and worms. At a crossroad he was nearly run down by a huge angle worm with an angry expression on his face. Ex- perience is the best teacher sc- after that he slowed down at the intersections. All too soon it was time to return home so Henry turned and started to retrace his steps. After coming to several corners he didn't recognize, he realized he was lost- lost on the first day of his traveling. Used to making the best of situations, he sat down to think. He finally decided there was noth- ing for him to do but try to find someone to direct him. He set out again on his joumey but when he didn't find anyone at all, he just kept wandering. Finally he came to an- other village. There, he met many strange people who were mostly of a. rough, hard type. He lingered a few days with these ex- perienced men. They influenced his life a great deal in those few days. But, as law- lessness doesn't pay, they suffered for their wrongdoings. One day, a shovel was heaved at their little village and up went all the worms. Fingers picked them up and put them into a tobacco can half full of dirt. With many other worms, Henry went in a can to a fish- ing brook. He saw many of his friends taken away and put on a ugly hook, but when his cap- tors were not looking, he slipped over the top of the can and crawled away. Even though he had escaped, he was in a strange country and didn't know what to do. He finally dug a hole, made himself com- fortable, and thought over his problems. All of a sudden he heard the soft thud of rain on the earth above him. Remembering the tragedy of his youth, he hurried through the ground. By the time he reached the top, he was thoroughly exhausted and lay there to rest. The rain continued and he lay half cov- ered with water, waiting for his death to dome, but he recovered when the rain ceased. He was almost strong enough to try to flnd his way back home, when a small child saw him, picked him up by the tall, and threw him into a large trout. Henry drifted d-own about a foc-19 into the water, then ................ Snatch ! ................ Oblivion! . Phyllis Osgood '47 MY FIRST DOLLAR Oh, Bob, come here , called my mother, Mr, Macy has a job for you. I dropped my toy stilts and ran as fast as I could to where Mother was. I had never had a job before and, to me, a job would be something great. Mr. Macy just phoned and said he want- ed you to be his assistant clerk today, Mother continued. I rushed up the stairs, washed my hands and face and, in two minutes flat, I was ready for work. Mr. Macy was sweeping the floor when I arrived. He saw me and promptly handed me the broom. When I had finished sweep- ing, I went to Mr. Macy looking for more work. I have some groceries for you to deliver, said. Mr. Macy, Take them to Mrs. Swan, who lives on Park Street. I started out and had gone nearly four lzlocks before I realized that I didn't know where Park Street was! I stopped an old man and asked him for information. Could you tell me where Park Street is, Mister? I asked in a very timid voice. No, little man, I can't, he replied, but there is a man who lives five houses down Pine Street where Exchange and State Streets come together. He lives on the sec- ond floor in that big apartment house on ihe left. I'm sure he would know. . After two hours of continuous walking I finally came to the apartment house where The Man lived. Could you tell me where Park Street is? I asked for the second time. Why yes, little fellow, he replied, all you have to do is go back up this street five houses and go back to where Exchange and State Streets come together, then go to your lef- about three houses and there's Park Street staring you right in the face. I thanked him and set out down the street. I had walked nearly four more miles when J. finally found Park Street. When I reached my destination, I delivered the goods to Mrs. Swan and then asked: Could you tell me where Macy's Grocery Store ls, Madam? Why, yes, she answered, 1t's right over to vour left, you can see it from here. These words were an awful blow to'me, for I thought that I was at least ten miles from Mr. Macy's grocery store. And that's how I earned my first dollar. N. Cummings '46 HOME IN REVERSIA The land which I am about to describe is known to me and a few other poor, unfor- tunates as home, but to, you fellows I shall call it Reversia . To be sure this is a very queer name but I can think of no other that lite the land more perfectly. This land was. discovered by me and my three children four years before I was married. It lies about four hundred thousand miles north of the planet Mars and can be seen on a clear night through a mirror but not with the naked eye. This was the chief fact that led me to the odd planet. After studying the planet for many years, I designed a special rocket ship that was propelled backwards instead of forward. Had,it gone ahead my entire search would have been useless. It was a nice trip to Mars but from there 34 H.C.I.SCROLL 'T ::' 'l - to Reversia the trip was rather rough. We kept having trouble with the engines. The gas tanks kept getting full instead of empty and this made the ship exceedingly hard to maneuver because of the excess weight. We also had a little trouble with the propellers but we got out and put them on backwards so as to go ahead. I had a little difficulty with the threads on the bolts too. I had to take them to the machine shop and re-thread them so they would go on and hold. My oldest son found it very confusing to steer the ship as what had once been a left hand turn was now a right hand turn, and the hundreds of birds flying backwards dldn't help the situation much. Finally we landed. It was home sweet home at last. Yes, Sirf We were back in the good old days when a D was worth ten times an A and a rich man was always broke. Where a poor man had to work his head off to get rid of his excess money, and a fat woman gave away half of her diet books and ate constantly to lose weight. While I was there I went into a restau- rant and had a meal, when I came out the cashier paid me two dollars and I had to work all the next day to get rid of it. When I finally got done I found I still had two cents, which I swallowed. I went to the doc- tor and he made me cough up five dollars which he forced me to put into my wallet. One day I decided to take a train. It went so slowly that a moron next to me got off and started to walk ahead of the engine. He told me that he was going to commit suicide. He went half a mile ahead cf the train and laid down on the track tpoor fellow he starved to death before the train got there.j Last week I decided to go for a bicycle ride but found the bike had round wheels instead. of square ones and I couldn't go be- cause it was hot and I did not have my sheepskin coat with me. We finally said our hulloas and left on r. hot, winter morning. We did not have much difficulty in getting back to Mars be- cause we were bucking a stiff tailwlnd all the way. Ken Masse '45 HUNTING FOR. THE LOST TREASURE Oswald and Anthony had started a new profession. They were going to be detectives. They rented an office in their home town of Sunnyville and here they waited for their customers. They waited for hours and hours but they had no business. They began to get discouraged. About ten minutes before the office was to close, a humped over little man came in. Ho looked as though he were discouraged too, and tired of living. Oswald, who con- sidered himself president of the firm, stepped up and asked the man if there were anything he could do for him. The man re- plied, I had a sickness a long time ago and I have forgotten where I hid my treasure. I will pay you a large reward if you will go to my estate and see if you can find it. Oswald was delighted at this. He and An- thony took their belongings and started for his estate. They rode for miles and miles through woods and plains, wondering where the lit- tle old man's estate was. In the distance they saw a palace but the windows were boarded up. Ho did this so the people would- n't think he was rich. The three of them went in and began their search. They had searched everywhere and had begun to give up when the old man thought of the cellar. They began searching the cellar and suddenly the old man said, I have thought where my treasure is. Move that rock over there in the corner. They moved the rock and there was the old man's treasure ..... A pound of butter ..... A. L. Brown '48 WHO AM I? When I was new I was pretty. Now I am not so young. I have been through a lot in my short lifetime. It is the same old routine in and out, about and about, around and around. l'1rst, I will describe myself. I am tall and sylph-like. I have a streamlined figure that all girls admire. My feet are long and slim. My shoes are soft-soft as yarn. I am very popular in the dormitory as I visit all the rooms on the third floor every morning. Sometimes I play tricks on the girls, for I go around the rugs and hide under the bed. I have a great many dates though often I am stood up. Who am I? Why can't you guess? Girls, especially occupants of rooms on third floor, haven't you any idea as futurehousewives of the world? I am just an ordinary, little ole dustmop. . S. Green '48 TWENTY YEARS HENCE It was a day early in the spring that a little old man came to my house and asked if I would like to ride in his helicopter and see what would be going on, twenty years from now. Of course, I accepted the chance and it wasn't long before we were rising high into the blue sky. Higgins was our first stopping place. When we reached the campus, I was sur- prised to see another girls' dormitory where we used to play softball. This dorm was a lot larger than the other and had many large windows. We entered the Institute only to find things running pretty much the same with Punk Keith, Junior as Principal and Miss Hillman as head dean of the girls. Paul Bishop was teaching music apprecia- H. C. LSC 1 : tion and art and sc- he took me around and showed me the many improvements and changes. There had been much talk about making Higgins into a boys' schcol but at last it had been decided to make it co-educational lor the children of Higgins graduates ctnly. Paul told me about the dances that were hcld weekly with three formals annually. At last the bottom of the gym had been fixed lor bowling and other games. The garage had been built into a stable for riding h:-rses which the students may use in their leisure time. A much larger kitchen and a dining room have been established which must be a great help. Paul told me about where our old school- mates were. One thing that particularly in- terested me was that Eva Stinson and Vance Foss were married and living in Pros- pect Harbor packing sardines. J-:-Ann Peirce was admitted to the bar and has her own law office in Boston. Calvin Stinson became a doctor and spec- ializes in mental cases. He always said he wanted to know what made some people act the way they do. Trug has a large hospital and some of his nurses are Colleen Snlorw, Mary Shirley, Sylvia Green and Shirley Powers. By this time it was getting late but Paul insisted that I go uptown. 'I'here had been many changes, but some- thing seemed to be wrong with me. Bells seemed to be ringing and my eyes opened to find things exactly as I had left them a few hours ago. It was now 6:30 and the rising bell was ringing. I was in my own bed on the third floor in the girls' dormitory. Rebecca Merrill '48 TROOP SHIP EDITOR'S note: Bob came to see us when he was home last time, and he was asked to write a poem for this year book of which he was an editor last year. Not long ago he sent uf: this one, written while he was still on board the troop ship which carried him to Italy. The members of the Scroll board wish to express their appreciation and thanks to him for remembering us. The sea was pretty rough last night: It tossed the ship from side to side And dropped it in its seething depths And whipped it with its roaring tide. Last night before they cleared the decks, The white capped waves were running high: The Heavens changed from blue to gray And rain clouds filled the troubled sky. Inside and far below the decks, The soldiers sweated out the gale And cussed the rocking of the boat Or lay on sick beds, still and pale. .5- ROLL , 35 .a P- r -- Somc, as they lay there through the night, Were turned to thoughts of far away: Their homes, their families and friends,- The things for which they've learned to pray. Yes, even haughty soldiers pray When faced by death or seized by fright: And out from that strong stricken ship I know went many prayers last night. Day after day they've spent their time Upon the rolling, tossing foam, Aboard a ship which carries them To foreign lands far from their own. Yet on and on they ride alone Americans they are--and free, Seasick and lonely, far from home Aboard a troop ship, out at sea. Pvt. Robert W. Camercn Ex'-15 SOMEWHERE - A Fantasy In Blank Verse Snow falling, lightly and gently, Covering the country side-a film of white. From 'neath a hilltop rises a wisp of smokeg There must be people-somewhere. Trees, lace-like limbs gathering a breeze, Whisper of a summer that is past. And up there trembles a last leaf- Hope of a rcfbinfsomewhere. Rolling hills, a mosaic of misty whites and SYBIYS, And a shadowy sky, wintry dull, Where the fluffy clouds roll by. Beyond is the sun-somewhere. Ah, there 'tis, shining through the clouds, Setting amid glorious myriad cols-rs, Lighting the innumerable brilliants of the snow. God touches all things-somewhere. P. L. B. '45 FREEDOM Have you ever been down on a sea swept beach And watched the water as it rises and falls, Crashing unhurt on the coral reefs, Then crawling to the deep blue sea? There is peace, such as only the sea can find: The kind of peace not known to mankind. Man, fighting for the common good of all, Freedom from want, free speech, worship, and press--that's a beautiful aim. And there are men who would conquer these four freedoms, But they don't get as far as they did before Because Americans believe in freedom for all, With no country held as a dictator's thrall. Yes, sea, you have such beautiful freedom, If only mankind were not sc- dumb. B. Fish '46 36 H. C.

'I'he right to wait for the coming day When all mortals shall be at His side. But before we depart from this earthly scene, Where we all are judged by above, Let's. fulfill our tasks of righteous work, And be subject to His love. B. Conners '46 SPRING And all the birds have begun to sing. The grass is finally turning green, And the men of the households are putting on screens. X X After the winter, then comes the spring, Spring is also the time of year. That little chicks begin to appear. Tho hens are put outdoors in their pens And the cattle are pastured cfnce again. The boys and girls, they fall in love, When the moon or sun shines brightly above I wonder why the spring of the year Brings everyone so much cheer? M. Stanhope '46 SPRING ON THE FARM Once again the birds are singing, Old dread winter's cold is past, While our hearts with joy are ringing, As we conquer each new task. Lambs are capering, cattle lowing, As they smell the fresh spring air, O'er the hills the green is showing, Mother Nature does her share. Hors-es restlessly are tramping, Anxious for the trace and bit, You can tell by their stamping, For the spring's work they are fit. Farmers all are getting restless, Anxious for the time to seed, Then to trust in God and Nature, To provide their every need. M. Locke '46 SPRING HAS COME The birds are twittering, The grass is green. 'Tis the prettiest spring I've ever seen. T0 STAY Sap is running Freely from the trees. Bees start humming And sharp blows the breeze. Spring has come to stay. M. Mace '46 SPRING Snow cannot be seeng The grass is turning greeng That's one of the signs of Spring. The birds are singingg 'I'he church bells are ringingg That's a sign of Spring. Flowers soon will reappear, Filling every heart with cheer. These are signs of Spring. Ted Farrell '46 SPRING Spring is the busiest time of the year, But it is the time we all hold dear. Perhaps we have play rehearsal every night, Or maybe on the baseball field we iight. But in the spring, pleasure is mixed with work, And around each corner the sun does lurk. Maybe after school we can take a bike ride, It's fun in this way like a bird to glide. The birds merrily singing each morning bright, Greet us before the day is quite light. And all through the day we are happy and glad, As we see strolling each lassie and lad. E. Chase '46 A BASEBALL GAME IL's a red hot day in May And the sun is shining brightg It's a perfect baseball day, But the game isn't going right.

Now the bases are all loaded And there are but two awayg But Masse hits a homer And therefore saves the day.

SCRAWL The Scawl, which is the schcol newspaper and is published on Wednesday of every second. week, was first pub.ished in 1938. Since then it has been greatly enlarged and improved. It contains articles selected from the English classes, write-ups of athletic cvenis and activities of school organizations, school news, editorials, poetry, jokes and campus chatter. The members of the Board with the help of Mr. Keith, who is the fac- ulty advisor, print it on a mimeograph. The Scrawl has proved very successful and its readers find it well worth the price of thirty-five cents a year. It serves as an ln- centivc for worthwhile literary articles and offers excellent newspaper training on a small scale to those on the Board. It also gives an accurate record of all school events. On the Board this year were: Dorothy Libby, Margaret Bradfc-rd, Brad- ford Brown, Dorothy Hardy, Garth Folsom, Colleen Snow, Marilyn Trask, Phyllis Os- good, Jc-hn Keith, Joyce Baker, Mary Mace, Marion Rozelle, Paul Duplessis, Richard Watson, Kenneth Masse, and Ricardo Sham- well.

Many of the girls are enrolled in the course because they realize that some day the many things they learn will be of importance, re- gardless of what career they may choose. The Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors be- gan the first nine weeks by canning. Each class played a very aclive part in preparing the foods which they put into the cans. The Sophomore class began next to study fundamental topics, such as grooming, man- ners and personality. After completing this they began on their clothing project. In sewing the girls made very nice garments. They made the more simple things, such as, blouses, skirts, and pajamas. The foods unit gave them many experiences in learn- ing how to prepare and serve all types of breakfast food. They completed the course by taking Home Nursing, learning how to care for the sick, and how to make the well happy. The girls found their year of new experiences very interesting and helpful. The Junior class carried on their work by studying the composition and food-value of the various types and kinds of food. During this year they also had much practice work in learning how to prepare hearty foods, to make pies, cakes, and puddings, They also learned how to make breads of all types and how to make salads. All these things became very useful when they began to serve luncheons and dinners. These full oofurse meals are served to the faculty and all mem- bers of the class have some job tc- do. It is necessary to have a hostess, a waitress, a first cook, a second cook, a third cook and table girls, who decorate and prepare the table. The remaining girls usually assist in cleaning up. The Senior class continued their course of studying Dietetics and Advanced Nutrition. In class every other day members demon- strated by experiments the composition and reaction of various foods. Following a com- pletion of Dietetics they studied Child Care. This course included the preparation for, and care of a baby, child psychology, and family relations. During the time when they were learning how to dress, bathe and feed a baby everyone had the actual experience because they had a small child ifive months oldb with whom they worked. The advanced clothing class of the Juniors and Seniors have made a variety of the more complicated articles. Some of them were: coats, dresses Cwoolen and silkb, and sux s. For the most part, we feel that this course has proved exceptionally successful this year and we hope it may continue to grow as time goes on. V. C. '45 CANNING PROJECT Tho first nine weeks of school this fall the Home Economics Department carried on a canning project. It was a continuation of the summer Community Canning Center project. This was to preserve all foods that were ready to be canned at that time. There were 3,867 cans of food canned including corn, shell beans, tomatoes, pumpkins, caul- iflower. string beans, pears, apples, apple sauce, chicken and chicken soup. A large part of this was for the dormitory and school lunch use. The Home Economics Department opened its doors to let women of the nearby towns can cookies, candy, puddings, baked beans, brown bread, pickles, nuts, and other things which could be canned. These were to be sent to the boys overseas. Over 500 cans were sealed. SCHOOL LUNCH For two years the school lunch program has been sponsored by the Home Economics Department. The meals were planned by Miss Hillman and prepared by the parents who willingly gave one day a week. The charge for the lunch was ten cents a meal. There were about 120 children served. A portion of the food canned during the summer was set aside for this purpose. STUDENT TEACHING The Home Economics Department at Hig- gin.: Classical Institute was appointed as one of the student teaching centers this year. Miss Hillman served as the supervisory teacher. This gives the Seniors enrolled in the Home Economics Colleges some first hand observations and experiences in teaching. This will help them as they start on the road to their teaching the coming year. We have had two girls from Farmington State Teachers College. They were Misses Joyce Farrar and Evelyn Chatto who each spent six weeks with us. We have also had one girl from the University of Maine. She was Miss Helen Stacy who was with us four weeks. H.

The Hig- gins record for this season was three wins, three defeats and one tie. The varsity squad was coached by Mr. Keith with the assistance of Mr. Fotter. The players were: Captain Neile Soule, Mario DiFrederico, Richard Watson, Carl Young, Reginald Brown, Lester Stevens, Howard Foley, Chester Trundy, Parnell Hare, Vance Foss, Kenneth Masse, Ronald York, Norman Cummings, Bradford Brown, Harold Hanson, Wendell Russell, William MacDonald, John Keith, Fred Lucci, Or- mand Brown, Phillip Thompson, Carlton Lowery, Garth Folsom, Roger Dole, Coburn Johnson, Arnold Amero, Robert Duplessie, Earl Stevens, Jack Weston, Kenneth Cum- mings and Ricardo Shamwell. RESUME OF THE GAMES Higgins 6 Greenville 6 The opening game of the season was played against a fighting Greenville team on September 30 at Greenville. DiFrederico scored Higgins' only touchdown, but the at- tempt for the extra point failed. Higgins was on the one yard line when time ran out. The game resulted in a tie. Higgins 24 Coburn 0 The first Higgins victory was in a game played against Coburn on October '7 at Wat- erville. DiFrederico scored the first two touchdowns with the Higgins team showing plenty of fight. In the next half, Neile Soule intercepted a pass and with good interfer- ence went over standing up. The final score was tallied on an end-run by Reginald Brown. Higgins 6 Old Town 0 The hard fighting Higgins team tripped the favored eleven from Old Town, which was one of the strongest teams in this sec- tion. The game was played at Charleston on a rain. soaked gridiron and both teams con- tinually lost the ball on fumbles. The out- standing blocking of the Higgins team was the reason for their success. DiFrederico and Watson sparked on 85 yard advances down thc field. With the pigskin resting on the fifteen yard line DiFrederico broke away for the lone touchdown of the game. As the ref- Higgins again had the eree's whistle blew ball on Old Town's five yard line. Higgins 0 Higgins' spark Stearns outpaddled at Millinocket. The but was covered in Stearns 19 feebly sputtered, and them to a 19-0 victc-ry field was not only wet, places by six inches of water. The playing conditions were anything but suitable for football. In the second per- iod, Watson dropped the ball in attempting to score from the one yard line. Higgins 6 M. C. 1. 7 On October 28 Higgins lost a hard fought game to M. C I. in the mud at Pittsfield. The first score came in the third period when M. C. I. completed a forward pass for their only touchdown. On the next play M. C. I. plunged over for their extra point. Hig- gins came back in the fourth period to score, but failed to convert for the extra point. Stevens played an outstanding game, sparked the Higgins 70-yard touchdown drive. Higgins 18 Foxcroft 0 Striking back after a smarting defeat at M. C. I., Higgins lost little time in scoring against Foxcroft in a game at Charleston. Foss, DiFrederico, and Stevens scored re- spectively in the first three periods. Regin- ald Brown made several good gains. This was the last home game for Higgins. Higgins 0 John Bapst 6 In a nip and tuck game the Higgins squad lost to the Bapst Crusaders at Bangor. This Armistice Day game ended a good football season for Higgins. The Bapst score came when 2. substitute back grabbed a Higgins punt and ran seventy yards for the only touchdown. The best run for Higgins was made by Dick Watson in the third period. Higgins lacked the necessary punch to score when they were close to the Bapst goal. In the only J. V. game of the season, Hig- gins defeated Foxcroft Academy J. V.'s 7-0 on a. muddy gridiron at Charleston. Brad Brown kicked the point after, the only one made this season by Higgins. J. W. A. '45 1 1 I A ,1 .1 A 1 4 JZ , X V A V b, ,L .Q 7 Nd 15 H7 ,.

RESUME OF THE GAMES Higgins 20 John Bapst 31 On December 5 at Bangor, Higgins. lost. ts- John Bapst in a good game for the first one of the season. It was close all the way and the Higgins team showed great promise. Stevens got c-ff to a good start with six baskets. Higgins 38 Leen's Lectrics 41 Higgins bowed to the fast and clever pass- ing Leenfs Lectrics in a game played at Cfnarleston on December 11. Stevens contin- ued to be high scorer with twenty-one points. Higgins 30 Guilford 49 The improving Higgins team went down to defeat at the hands of a strong Guilford quintet on January 6, at Guilford. Guilford led throughout the game, but the margin of victory was rolled up in the second period. Foss helped the Higgins cause with nine points. Higgins 26 Coburn 32 In a game played at the Colby Field House, Higgins lost. to their Coburn rivals. The game was close and the lead see-sawed back and forth until Coburn clinched the verdict in the final frame. Stevens was the c-ut- standing piayer for Higgins.

Soule and Allen, who until this game were substitutes, showed great promise for the remainder of the season. Higgins 38 M. C. I. 22 Higgins continued on the victory trail with a decisive defeat over M. C. I. in a game played at Charleston on January 26. The M. C. I. defense was not functioning properly and the Higgins players were repeatedly in the clear under the basket. Stevens again led the scoring for H. C. I. with 24 points. Higgins 48 Foxcroft 34 Winning their third game in a row, the black and orange tripped the Academy boys at Charleston. In the third period the Dover players staged a comeback, but the Higgins boys remained in front by a comfortable margin. Stevens and Foss teamed up to score 32 points. Higgins 24 Stearns 31 Losing a hard fought battle to a fast Stearns quintet, H. C. I. vainly tried to make it four in a row. The Higgins boys tired quickly being unaccustomed to a floor as large as the o-ne at Millinocket. Pacing the Higgins att-ack, Stevens and Allen tallied eight points apiece. Higgins 37 C'oburn 29 In a game at Charleston that was very evenly matched, Higgins set back a strong Coburn team 37-29. Good ball handling and clever passing were displayed by both teams. Allen scored 15 points, to become high scor- er fc-r the first time while Stevens scored 14. Higgins 30 Stearns 28 In a very fast and exciting game at Charleston, the Higgins team defeated the Stearns' Minutemen, 30-28. Coming from be- hind in the third peri:-d, Higgins climbed within one point of their pace-setting rivals. Working smoothly together, the Higgins boys made their set plays pay dividends. In a nip and tuck fourth period which was not decid- ed until Stevens sunk a rebound shot in the clcsing seconds, the lead see-sawed back and forth. A packed gymnasium saw Stevens end his season in a blaze of gl-ory. Stevens, Allen and DiFrederico scored 22 points for the Higgins cause. Higgins 29 Guilford 44 In a one-sided contest, at Charleston, Guilford defeated the Higgins team, which was without the services of Stevens. The up- state team made it two in a row over Higgins, who didn't give up without a fight. Allen was high scorer for H. C. I. with fifteen points. Higgins 29 M. C. I. 36 On February 23 at Pittsfield, Higgins lost a hotly contested game to M. C. I. After battling evenly for three quarters, M. C. I. finally pulled ahead ts- clinch the verdict. Higgins' high man for the night was Foss. Higgins 40 John Bapst 23 The last game of the season resulted in the first Higgins victory since the depar- ture of Stevens, Higgins showed great im- provement in toppling John Bapst who had a place in the Eastern Maine tourney. At no time did Bapst threaten to take the lead. The H. C. I. score was evenly divided among their starting lineup. However, Foss and DiFrederico shared top honors with ten points apiece. J. W. A. '45 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The Higgins' J. V.'s had a good seas:-n, winning six of their ten games. Although the J. V.'s were outclassed in s:-me of their games, they won their share. Dunnett was high scorer for the season with 89 points, Archer came in second with 70, and Mac- Fadden third with 69 paints. Scheduled results: Higgins J. V.'s 17 John Bapst J. V.'s 21 Hgiins J.

The pre-game gossip expected a much closer game than it turned out to be. Archer was high man for Higgins with 14 points. Higgins J. V.'s 27 John Bapst J. V.'s 22 Higgins, using three of their second string defeated Bapst in a hotly contested game at Charleston. Bapst had been winning most cf their games and everyone expected them tc- have little trouble in downing the H. C. I. J. V.'s . After the first quart-er Higgins grab- bed the lead and managed to hold it until the end. Leading his team with 13 points, MacFadden held top honors. Higgins J. V.'s 38 E. C. A. 16 In the final game of the season, and their second straight victory over E. C. A., the Higgins J. V.'s closed their season in grand style. The game at Cc-rinth was easily taken by Higgins who made the best of their scoring opportunities. Dunnett was high man in this important game, scoring 15 points. In a preliminary game the second string J. V.,s nosed out E. C. A. 23-22. H.

Many of those participating worked towards earning their letters. SOFT BALL Soft ball was again started early in the spring by Miss Hillman. It was unusual this year to have such an early spring but the girls interested in sc-ftball took advantage of it. There were thirty-two candidates who in- clude: Dorothy Libby, Violet Call, Marion Rozelle, Marilyn Trask, Marilyn and Gwen- dolyn Grant, Marie Scott, Faith Harris, Col- leen Snow, Shirley Powers, Greta Scott, Ruth Smith, Evelyn Dunham, Dorothy Har- dy, Marion Stanhope, Harriet Mooers, Jean Allen, Phyllis Osgood, Eva Stinson, Joan Johnson, Marjorie Colson, Jean To-tman, Charlene Frazer, Joyce Call, Pauline Lime- burner. Alice Brown, Dorothy Higgins, Max- ino Scott, Rebecca Merrill, Sylvia Green, Barbara Strout and Dorothy Mace. They elected Evelyn Dunham, Captain, and Mar- ilyn Trask, Manager.

CURIOUS ORIGINS OF ' POPULAR SAYINGS Baseball fan - About a hundred years ago the owner of the St. Louis Browns called a certain man the greatest fanatic in base- ball he had met. Newspaper men started to call enthusiasts fan-atics and shortly thereafter just fans Gob - There is a Chinese word, meaning sailor, which sounds something like gobf'. When the U. S. Fleet first went into the Far East, it adopted that name for its sailors. Cold Shoulder - When you want to snub someone, you say you give him the cold shoulder. This was an actual custom in medieval France. When a guest outstayed his welcome, he was served cold shoulder and not the hot roast served to welcome guests. Crocodile Tears - We are apt to say this about a person of hypocritical attitude. It is based on an assumed tale that a crocodile devcurs a person and then sheds tears. So the term is used for people who express sympathies which are known to be false. Est Family of the Faculty Best Dressed Mrs. Grindle Handsomest Mr. Meader Speediest Miss Brown Wittiest Mr. Tracy Youngest Miss Hillman Calmest Mr. Keith Stateliest Miss Estev Cutest Mr. Fotter Kindest Miss Homer Mosquitoes: Consider thc mc-squito as an example. He rarely gets a slap on the back until he goes to work. The only individual who hasn't kicked about the extremely short skirts the co-eds are wearing, is the mosquito. A scientiiic expert now comes forth with the claim that fish kill mosquitoes. But who wants to take a iish to bed with him. Is That So? The steak was a la carte so the freshman told the waiter to wheel it in. Fill 'er up, cried the motorist to thc waiter as he dined with his girl friend. Seven days make one weak, said the coffee in the restaurant percolator. If, a.s a psychologist tells us, there is no such thing as pain, what is it some people give us? DOGS Did you hear of the little moron who wculdn't advertise for his lost dog because he knew the poor thing couldn't read? When a man bites a dog, it's his wife's pet chow. He calls his dog Jason because he is al- ways looking for fleece. Miss Hillman: t'Gooclness. Miss Chase. what happened to these cakes? Elizabeth Chase: Pm sure I don't kn:-w. Miss Hillman: They taste of soap. Elizabeth Chase: Maybe they do. You told me to fry them on the Soapstone grid- dle and when I couldn't find that I soaped the iron one. Little Alice Lou had never seen a dachs- hund before. Look, Papa, she exclaimed. See what gt long wheel-base that dog has got! Ted and York went hunting. A big bird flew up in front of them, and stared at them disdainfully from a tree. Ted drew a bead, when York shouted: Don't shoot yet, Ted. 'Ihe gun isn't loaded. w Can't help it, Yorkg the bird wcn't wait. Age Requirements From birth to 18, 3 girl needs good par- ents: from 18 to 35, good looks: from 35 to 55, personality: from 55 on, cash. Ladies, is this true? '72 H. C. I. S C ROLL Don't Look Now While one of our Higgins boys was fight- ing hand to hand with a slant-eyed Jap. Missed me, hissed the Jap. Did I? asked the H.C.I. boy. Just wait till you try to turn your head. Mild Slllggestion 'Ihe more than' usual lack of intelligence among the students that morning had got under Mr. Keith's skin. 'iClass is dismissed, he said exasperatedly. Please don't nap your ears on the way out. Extract Something Docky Libby: I can't stand it any longer: I am gc-ing to the dentist's this instant and have this tooth pulled. Marion Rozelle: Nlcnsense! Your tooth doesn't acheg it's only your imagination. Docky Libby: Then I will have him pull out my imagination. We Wonder What Would Happen If: Dick Watson lost Faith in life. - Betty Connors could catch no Fish. Charlene Frazier kept out of trouble. Irene and Ormie never walked campus. Girls never followed Lefty. Docky didn't smile. Ronald York couldn't go to Bradford. Ricky Shammwell kept his room clean. Neil Soule flunked an exam. Paul Bishop had his tonsils out. Butch couldn't argue. Violet didn't get iiustered in Chemistry class. Mr. Keith couldn't make the Seniors work. H.C.I. didn't have exams. Und Wie Mr. Meader in History class was telling the pupils what the people in different states were called. Now, he said, the people from Indiana are called Hoosiersg the people from North Carolina, Tar Headsg the people from Mich- igan, Michiganders. What are the people from Maine called? I know, said Stinson. Well, what are we called? asked Mr. Meader. Maniacs, brightly answered Stinson. Boys and Girls Education finds that girls lead boys-and a very merry chase it is. Boys will be boys-but the girls are giving them a hot contest for the privilege. You Don't Say! Kipling didn't know Blondie when he wrote The Charge of the Light Brigade. Paul Bishop: Do you know how to get mental exercise ? Walter Allen: Neg how do you get men- tal exercise? Paul Bishop: Go around jumping to conclusions. Mr. Fotter, in Algebra class: You can see more curves in Hve minutes with a sef, of French curves than you ever saw before in your life. Dole went to see his doctor. Well, Dole, the doctor greeted him, what can I do for you? If I knew that, I wouldn't be paying you two do-llars to tell me. Time Out! JoAnn: Why are you stopping the car? Frank, home on leave: The road bock says to turn north and follow the trolley. We'll have to wait for one. Miss Estey: So you finally decided to sweep out your room! Occupant, disgustedly: No, I'm sweeping out the dirt and leaving the room. Is your wife a club woman, Mr. Fotter ? No, man. She likes the flat-iron. Pedestrian: Say, you just mixed me! Driver: Well, stand still and I'll try again. Mary Shirley: Much as I hated to I gave up horseback riding and bought a second hand car. Leah Kane: How come? Mary Shirley: A doctor advised me to take more exercise. The First Slaves Ken Masse unexpectedly distinguished himself in a history exam. The question was: How and when was slavery introduced into America? The answer was: No women ever came to the early Virginia colony. The planters wanted wives to help with the work. In 1619 the London Company sent over a shiD10ad of girls. The planters gladly married them and slavery was introduced into America. If you have occasion to criticize a mule, do it to his face.
