They are select, because they were loyal enough and interested enough in their high school to support its magazine. Without their support, this North Star could not appear. Readers, notice who they are! There are two ways to show our appreciation - - thanks and business. Real patronage of these advertisers is our best appreciation. Let's patronize them - - go out of our way to do business with them - - and thus show them the best ap- preciation of all! 4+?94??+??++?+4+???+4?+?+?+++6?+++?4r ++4++??+??4++++++?W'?

Marsh Literary Department Poetry News and Oddities Clubs of H. H. S. Exchanges Alumni Notes Music Jokes Editorials Thanks Merchants and professional men of Houlton, we thank you for responding so graciously to The North Star's call for ad- vertising. As the result of this response, we are once more able to offer to friends of Houlton High a good-sized magazine which we hope will meet with general approval. In the year of 1931, the last issue previ- ous to this was published. Owing to the de- pression and to an accumulated debt, it was then thought advisable to discontinue The North Star until business conditions were more favorable. This year, we have made an effort to secure enough advertising to pay for in ad- vance the cost of publishing The North Star. With the profits from the sales of the mag- azine, we shall try to pay off our debts and leave The North Star free from financial worries. If we are successful, The North Star will be in a condition to grow and flour- ish through the succeeding years. We have done our best to put out a moderately-priced magazine which will ac- curately portray the student life of Houlton High. We hope it will prove a source of pleasure to all who hear it.-G. R. The Ideal Student Report cards have been given out again. Perhaps you have a friend who has received higher rank than yours. But don't envy him, especially if he has devoted most of his leis- ure time to studying, with practically no re- creation. He is not an ideal student, not one to be envied. There is another student who has re- ceived lower rank. But he grasps every opportunity that comes his way for the bet- terment of our school. He has shown him- self Worthy of praise by his enthusiasm and cooperation. He is one to be proud of and to stand as an example for the ambitious youth of high school age, for he is an all- round, balanced personality. So, even though you may not be espe- cially gifted with scholarship traits or ath- letic stamina, you may become what, in the estimation of most people, is more nearly an ideal student.-M. F. Opportunity There is an old word that has been bad- ly abused by our muddled thinking, but a word that manages to survive, and is certain to recover its former standing. That word is opportunity. It means the port, the open- i11g, or the door opposite you, and anything that is opposite you must be directly before you. The best observers of life have stated that there is always such a door, and that it is always accessible. There are many who say that opportun- ity no longer exists. Generally they mean that the door at present accessible is not the door they want. They think opportunity means a big door, or at least an inviting door, and this present one may be small and plain. Because they do not understand that it is their door, they say there are no doors. That is a great mistake. Even though it is a plain and humble door, every door, big or little, opens upon the same possibilities. There are three kinds of opportunities. First, there is the opportunity that MAKES you. Everyone has that. In youth, it is the opportunity to learn. There is not one of the facts learned every day that will not stand forth later as the very thing you need. The days are full of the sort of opportunity that makes you. Second, there is the opportunity that TAKES you. Many of the great men of to- day, when asked, tell you that their success was as much of a surprise to them as to any- one else. The secret is that they were ready! And, lastly, if you learn and prepare, you need never fear the third kind of oppor- tunity-the opportunity that BREAKS you. The worst thing that can happen to some men is to get a promotion, for they are not ready for it. Their opportunity is their de- feat. They are not ready. Look again at that opportunity which is directly before you. It may not be what you dreamed. But, once in it, you will go any- where you want to go--if you are ready. If you are not ready, beware of opportunity. --J. B. THE DEBATING TEAM Left to right: Lakin, Farrar, Hawkes, A. Friel, M. Friel, MacDonald, J. Mullen, H. Mullen, Coach Lambert. Debating By Merle Hawkes Last year, Houlton High School did not participate in debatingg but this year, be- cause of Mr. Lambert's efforts. debating was again started as an extra activity for jun- iors and seniors. The subject given us, Resolved, that the several states should adopt a system of unicameral legislature, was treated thor- oughly from every possible angle. After much practice in debating, March 18 finally came, and the negative team left for Millinocket, while the affirmative team remained to meet Eastern Maine Institute. Joseph Mullen, Elizabeth Farrar, Ada Friel, and Anna McDonald, supporting the affirmative, lost to E. M. I. by a unanimous vote of the judgesg but Joseph Mullen was chosen best speaker for the evening. Helen Ruth Mullen, Maurice F1'iel, Ar- dith Lakin, and Merle Hawkes, supporting the negative won at Stearns by a unanimous vote of the judges. Ardith Lakin was chos- Q11 best speaker. The negative based their arguments upon the following points: First, that the bicameral system does provide a definite check on all legislation. Second. that lobbying would be just as much in evidence in the proposed unicam- e1'al plan. Third, that the adoption of a one-house system would be a definite step away from a true democracy. Fourth, the adoption of the one-house plan would mean the adoption of what has met with general failure wherever tried. Finally, the bicameral system has been a success in a great many countries. The affirmative based their case on sev- eral points, as follows: First, that a small unicameral house would secure more efficient representatives. To a smaller, more select body, many capable men not interested in present-day legislatures would be attracted. Second, that, in the present system, no true check exists, This situation the affirm- ative would eliminate by the rejection of the conference committee, and by recording for the public the activities of the l'9Dl'B- sentatives. Thirdly, the affirmative maintained that their plan would decrease lobbying. -,,' 'fun s , H. 1, Ag BOYS OF '38 Goodby, folksg we're through. Highlights in the History of '33 On September, 1934, the dO0l'S of Houl- ton High School opened wide to let in 522 students. Of these, 128 were freshmen, timid, insignificant, and green. But we made new friends, became acquainted with new teachers, and turned from green to sunny-bright. At our first big social gather- ing. the freshman reception, the only indi- cation that we were still freshmen was green bibs tied around our necks. Starting activities immediately, the class of 1938 elected its officers, who were: president, Philip Paradisg vice president, Lois Holmesg secreta1'y, VVinnifred Leavittg and treasurer, Lynwood White. Blue a11d gold were chosen as class colors. This year, while boys like Lyle VViggins and Lynwood Clark we1'e making names for themselves on the cinder track, such husk- ies as Henry Cameron, Vernon Titcomb. Donald Griffin, Donald Albert, Hacker Put- nam, and others found a permanent place on the football team. Also, the boys' and girls' basketball teams needed material to build from, and the freshman class provid- ed this. Some of the athletes of this sport were Jeanette Small, Grace McCormack, Mary Anderson, and Albert Donovan. The baseball team, too, found many eager re- cruits helping to defend H. H. S. on the dia- mond. Among these were Henry Cameron, Donald Albert, Ralph Hodgdon, Gerald Gardner, Fred Monahan, and Carl King. As another year rolled around, we found ourselves now becoming sophomo1'es in- habiting the other end of the lower hall. A new boy, Claude Hutchinson, joined our class at this time and made quite an addi- tion to the football line. The third year in the histo1'y of the class of 1938 was definitely a year of public speaking achievements. Of course, the junior speaking exhibition drew much atten- tion, With the following students participat- ing: Elizabeth Farrar, Winnifred Leavitt, Margaret Smith, Lois Holmes, Agnes Mc- Intyre, Maurice Friel. Merle Hawkes, Claude Adams, A1'nold Henderson, and Joseph Mul- len. But the annual Spear speaking contest furthered the honors in this field. Joseph Mullen, who seemed to be making quite a career with his voice, received second place for his excellent rendering of Uriah Heap . Besides, Merle Hawkes and Maurice Friel traveled to Colby College and competed in GIRLS OF '38 You may wish you'd known us better. the Montgomery contest. Maurice Friel at the county contest received second place. This year has proved to be the most ac- tive one. The management of the school newspaper, The Houlton Highster, now falls upon us, and the staff of the school an- nual, The North Star, is largely made up of seniors, Class officers are again elected, and this time they are as follows: president, Joseph Mulleng vice president, Lois Holmesg secretary, Jeannette Berryg and treasurer, Merle Hawkes. We cannot forget the senior play, Spring Fever . All who saw it will never forget the t1'oubles of Howard Brant.. plavcd by Merle Hawkesg the ingenuity of Vic Lew- is, played by Philip Stewartg the chemistry lab of Ed Burns, played by A1'nold Hender- son: or the cute girl friend of Ed's, Lou Her- ron. played by VVinnifred Leavitt. Of the 128 students that entered Houl- ton High School back in 1934, 117 are left. In spite of the occasional additions to the class, it is a record to be proud of! Scholarship has always been one of the ideals of every class, and the senior honors for this go to Lois Holmes, valedictoriang Ardith Lakin, salutatoriang and Lawrence Tilley. third honor. VVell, at last we come to the end of the road, or at least the end of the road in Houlton High School. And, as we march happily along wearing our caps and gowns, we feel that we got something out of high school that cannot be duplicated. That something will live in our h9H1'tS as long as memory enduresg a11d, as we start out on another lap of life, we hope you will remem- ber us for what we did in Houlton High School. L. T. Fog By Mary Terrio Riding along early one morning, I was taken unawares by a large, steel grey ani- mal. He had long, wing-like armsg and, in approaching the car. he completly obstruct- ed my view. For an hour. l could see noth- ing but this monster i11 front of me. Just as I was about to give up hope of ever finding my way home, I saw in the distance a knight in shining armor. At his approach, this monster showed 1'esistance. The hot 1'ays of his sword soon conquered the monster, and I drove home with the sun shining on the road. THE CLASS OF 1939 Next fall, we'll be seniors. Class of 1939 In 1935, full of vigor, we began what seems to us the four most important years of our lives. Early in the fall, we elected as our class officers four outstanding studentsg namely. president, Ralph Watsong vice president, Robert Mooersg secretary, Mary Mclntoshg and treasurer, Blanche Kirschbaum. In November, we were feted with a freshman reception. Games and dancing were enjoyed, after which 1'efresh1nents were served. Probably the most interesting subject to anyone is athletics, and on that I bestow the most emphasis. In the junior class are many outstand- ing students, who, sometime during their three years of high school, have served on some athletic team. Those students are Francis Donovan, Delorde Martin, Dorothy Hawkins, Margaret Bates, Mildred Bither, Joyce Lambert, Frederick Farrar, Alfred McGowan, Carl Tomilson, Robert Huggard, Carl Wolhaupter, Dean Herron, Robert Law- lis, John Cassidy, Bernard Conlogue. James NVard. and Cecil Johnson. Practically everyone in the town of Houlton looks forward to the annual H. H. S. Circus. In 1935, one of the biggest honors of the year went to our class, when petitc Leola Kinney was crowned circus queen. Last year, ten speakers who showed ability in dramatics were Doris Dunphy, Irma Comins, Betty Gentle, Helen Ruth Mullen, Margaret Bates, Robert Mooers, Charles Hannigan, Everett Po1'ter, Willard Stevens and George Brown. The speakers representing the junior class this year were Irma Comins, Helen Ruth Mullen, Anna Mae Arnold, Helen Cumming, Lou Hughes, Robert Mooers, Everett Po1'ter. Allison Carson, Charles Hannigan, and Ray- mond Young. It would be well to l10t9 that Miss Irma Comins won the county Spear speaking contest this spring and spoke in Augusta May 6. Yes, my friends, the junior class has had ma11y bumps along the road to success, but there is much more to achieve before the goal is met. May each one of us do his part with a grin and come smiling through at the end! M. M. P THE CLASS OF 1940 Not too Green. not too Wise Class of 1940 High School! The ve1'y thought, before we entered, put fear and yet a thrill into our hea1'ts. We WQl'9 encou1'aged to en- gage in all sportsg and, as a result, we found that, in cross-country. we had the fol- lowing boys out: Clayton Berry, James Boutilier, Lloyd Boutilier, Lloyd Murphy, Lawrence White fvarsityl, William Adams, Donald Thorne, and James Skehan. Other boys also went out for track, including Har- lan Boynton, Frederick McCann. Leighton Bell, and Harold Helms. In baseball, as yet. we have only a few 1'epresentatives, as follows: Clayton Berry, Harold Hoskin, Thomas Donovan, and Jack Keith. But in basketball, the biggest sport of all, we have many-Bell, Berry. Boynton, Donovan, L. Boutilier, Murphy, Carpenter, Gagne, Stockson, and Howe. Tom Donovan has been ou1' best man in football. We are proud to announce the officers elected for the lirst three years: president, VVesley Carpenterg vice p1'esident, Lona Taggettg secretary, Thelma Gartleyg and treasurer, Harlan Boynton. Every class would be proud to have its candidate become circus queen of H. H. S.g but none were ever prouder than we, last year, to have our Barbara. Bell so chosen. Each class has a number of honor stu- dents. but we have been more than usually favored with students of high rank and good citizenship. The following pupils appeared on the last honor 1'oll: Doris Drew, Lona Taggett, Maria Putnam, Barbara Somerville, Phyllis Drake, and Ruth Edwards. They received an average of 90 or over. Although the class of 1940 will not be ready to take the leadership of the school for two yea1's yet, we have a few pupils be- ginning a promising career in basketball. Thomas Donovan, VVillian1 Stockson, and Leighton Bell have done fine work as 1ne1n- bers of the varsity basketball team. Of the sophomore girls, there are many promising young playersg but only two have taken the lead, Geraldine Kearney and Joyce Hovey. The five boys and flve girls who have been chosen to represent us for the sophomore speaking exhibition are Thelma Gartley, Barbara Bell, Mild1'ed Cla1'ke, Roland Mar- tin, and Phyllis McCormick, Harlan Boyn- ton, Thomas Donovan, Harold Hoskin. James Skehan, and Wesley Carpente1'. We are looking forward to a successful and happy futu1'e in which we will contri- bute much credit to Houlton High School. R. E. THE CLASS OF 1941 Eager, Ambitious, Effervescentn Class of 1941 Last fall, a large class of 165 freshmen entered H. H. S. Although still newcomers, we have begun already to make ou1' mark in the activities of the school. The officers who will serve us well for three years have been duly elected. They a1'e as follows: president, James Donovang vice president, Jean Crawford, secretary, Joyce Farrarg and treasurer, Philip Mason. We were very proud to have our candi- date, Doris Niles, elected circus queen for 1938. She made a lovely queen and carried out her duties with regal dignity. This year's freshman class is, on the whole, very athletic. A large number of boys made the freshman football squadg and to J. Donovan, M. Logan, and P. Mason, We give three cheers for making the varsity. In basketball, too, we shone. Many boys and girls played on the freshman teams. Laura Rossignol and Gwen lVIcGrew practiced with the varsity all season. A very small freshman boy, G. Newell, surprised all by his amazing win in the freshman cross-country meet at Presque Isle. Orchids to you, other future runners! Over twenty boys and girls reported for tennis practice last March. Mr. Sherman believes that among them are many stars of the future. One freshman girl, Mary Pom- roy, made the varsity tennis squad. At mid-year, we had the second largest number of honor students in the school. The following names appeared on the list: thigh honorsj Do1'is Brown, Jean Crawford, Rosalind Hodgdon, Gwen McGrew, Ruth Palmer, and Laura Rossignol, thonorsb Ronald Henderson, Orin Bither, LeRoy Brown, Catherine Callnan, Barbara Cone, Harold Conway, Robert Cumming, Frederick Doescher, James Donovan, Evelyn Dow. Elizabeth Estabrook, Mildred Haggerty, Sterling Hall, lVIarie Hatfield. Richard lrwin. Lawrence Ketchum, Mary Kirlin, Elizabeth Long, Helen McCormick, Leitha MacDonald, Donald Macllroy, Irene Mooers, Doris Niles, Harold P1'yor, Arthur Ritchie, Celia Sked- gell. Marian Smith, Donald Taggett, Muriel Steen, Richard S'Weet, Marjorie Talbot, Don- ald Thorne, Patricia Waalewyn, Vera Wat- son, Doris Whited, and Charles Wood. The class of 41 hopes that, when its membe1's, some day, take the lead in H. H. S. activities, they may carry the torch on to even higher goals than those already at- tained by present and former Houlton High students. G. M.

F ootball, 1937 This year's football team was the best that has represented the local school i11 a long time, and was equal to any in the his- tory of Houlton High. The Tibbetts-Peabody-Allen gridmen were undefeated, untied, and unscored upon, and were easily the outstanding class B team ill the state. The stars were Captain Lloyd Niles, at left half, who was 110K only a capable lead- er, but a consistent ground gainer: Peanut Gardner, at the other back position, a fine broken field runnerg Bob Ruth, at full back, not only a good lille smasher, but a fine tackler who took care of the throwing of aerialsg Tom Donovan. the field general of the team, a fine blocker and a strong defen- sive playerg Bud McGowan, a center who replaced Bob Lawlis when Bob was forced to the side-lines with injuries. McGowan fitted into the line-up nicely and did a nice piece of work at center. Paradis and Bates, the guards, opened holes in the opponents' lines each game that enabled the backs to get away on long jauntsg Hutchinson and McCarthy were fine defensive players. And what was said about the guards is also true about the tackles. The fine goal-line stand they made in the Orono game proved their ability. Bossie and Titcomb at ends were fine pass receivers and strong defensive players. Houlton set Orono back 6 to 0 in one of Houlton's most important games. This game was a hard-fought affair the whole way. Neither team scored in the first period. In the second period, after a forty-six yard drive, Bob Ruth scored to give Houlton the only score of the game. Orono made its big bid in the fourth quarter. King galloped 25 yards with a Houlton kick, placing the ball on our team's 14-yard line. The Orono team then ground out a first down in two plays. But the Houlton line stiffened and took the ball on downs, inches from the goal. The game with Stearns was played in a sea of mud. Our sturdy line, constantly get- ting the jump on the boys from Millinocket, steadily pushed them deep into their own territory. With Ruth, our battering-ram fullback, constantly breaking through for five to ten yards, the Houlton superiority was evident to all, and the 7-0 score was hardly a fair measure of the difference be- tween the teams. In the Greenville and Presque Isle games, Coach Tibbetts delighted the crowd by putting in the second string, including his pony backfield of Jim Donovan, Buck Logan, and Philip Mason, all freshmen, directed by Hacker Putnam at quarter. In- telligent leadership by Putnam and long runs by the midgets Mason and Logan sent the crowd into a frenzy time after time. These young players should be stars in the years to come, for they have the winning spirit. At the end of the season, Houlton was offered a chance to play off for the state title with Waterville. We were forced to refuse this offer, because cold weather and frozen ground hindered the team from practicing out of doors. The players to receive their letters in football were Captain Lloyd Niles, Gerald Gardner, Bob Ruth, Tom Donovan, Bud McGowan, Claude Hutchinson, Mike Para- dis, Howard Bates, Fred McCarthy, Hal Bossie, Don Griffin, James Ward, Henry Cameron, Willard Stevens, Arnold Stockson, Leighton Bell, Earl Tomilson, Hacker Put- nam, and Vernon Titcomb. The seasons record follows: Houlton 19 Mattanawcook Academy 0 Houlton 7 Stearns 0 Houlton 24 Greenville 0 Houlton 6 Orono 0 Houlton 20 Presque Isle 0 Houlton 25 Presque Isle 0 Totals: 101 0 Track Coaches Wood and Stinson look hope- fully to the 1938 track season. Five veterans are returning from last year's team. About thirty-five new members also answered the call. Everybody is hoping for a county championship this year. Claude Hutchin- son's ineligibility was a severe loss to the team. The following boys have shown ability before and are out to better their record this year: Lyle Wiggins, a miler whose record in cross-country speaks for itself, Mike Boynton, a sophomore half miler who will collect points for the team this yearg Leigh- ton Bell, outstanding freshman star of last year, who heaved the javelin over 118 feetg Don Mason, a 220 man who is capable of showing his heels to anyone in the county. The rest of the boys are Howard Bates, Al Donovan, Don Griffin, Bob Lawlis, and Paul Ayotte, all weight meng Ralph Watson a.nd Wesley Carpenter, 440 men, Hedley Pheeney, Deacon Murphy and Mickey McCann, distance men, Raymond Russell and Harold Helms, and many others in the jumps. In the inter-class meet this year, two cups were given to the boys getting the big- gest number of points, the boy getting the largest number of points and to the best boy of those who had never earned their letter in track.

Wiggins, Mason, Roben. .K Cross Country The 1937 cross-country season was a dis- tinct success, the team winning both the county and state chainpionships. This makes Coach Clyde Stinson's fifth state championship and one national champion- ship since 1930. We went first to Orono to meet the Maine freshmen. Here, at the hands of the freshmen, we suffered our only defeat in the state. This being the first race, we did not do quite as well as we should have. We won the next four meets in succession: Cari- bou, Presque Isle, the state meet at Orono, and the Aroostook County meet at Presque Isle. In the Caribou meet, Lyle Wiggins took first place, closely followed by George Roben. Near the end of the season, members of the Houlton Rotary Club gave money to 11 make it possible for the team to enter the New England meet at Providence, R. I. The team then made the trip to Providence, where it competed in the New Englands. In this race, the team got tenth place in a field of twenty-eight schools. Lyle Wiggiiis did fi11e work by finishing eighth in a field of nearly two hundred runners, Scores: Houlton 39 Maine Frosh 20 Houlton 20 Caribou 37 Houlton I7 Presque Isle 42 Houlton 50 Deering, 56 East Corinth 56 CSta.te Meetl Houlton 31 Caribou 54 fCounty Meetj New Englands: Houlton, 'tenth place l I , L AROOSTOOK COUNTY CHAMPIONS Left to right: Tomilson, Niles, Wolhaupter, Bither, Ruth fCapt.J, Donovan, Bossie, Mason. Boys' Basketball The 1937-38 Houlton Hoopsters dropped only eight games during a 24 game schedule against opposition that was plenty tough. And if their star forward, Hal Bossie, had been in the line-up during the first five games, they would have had even a better record. Although Houlton lost the Aroostook League title, there was no question in any- one's mind as to who had the best team in Aroostook. This shown by the way Houlton took Presque Isle in the tournament game. In the Eastern Maine finals at Bangor, Houlton met Wiiislow in the first game, and led until the last quarter, only after a heart- breaking rally was Winslow able to eke out a four-point win. The stars of this year's team were Captain Bob Ruth, a guard whose work in the East- ern Maine finals was highly praised by many newspaper reporters, Hal Bossie, a forward who was injured at the first of the season but recovered in time to bring the team to the topg Albert Donovan, center, a hard worker and good rebounder who scored a large part of his team's basketsg Carl VVolhaupter, fo1'ward, whose sharpshooting surprised everyone, and Don Mason, a fine defensive guard who always was given the task of guarding the other tean1's high scor- er. this Houlton loses six letter men from year's team. But with such players as Tom Donovan, Leighton Bell, Earl Tomilson, and Billy Stockson along with Carl Wolhaupter, Houlton should turn out another good team next year.

Girls' Basketball The girls' basketball team has just com- pleted one of the most succxssful seasons in its history. Under Coach Wood. the girls won 14 games, lost one, and won the Aroos- took League championship for the fourth time in seven years. Special praise should go to Coach Wood for his successful hand- ling of an inexperienced group of girls. Those who won the coveted pennant through the 1937-38 season are Joyce Lam- bert, Dot Hawkins, Frances Donovan, Peggy Bates, Jeanette Small, Grace McCormack, Phyllis Foster, and Mary Anderson.

With six veterans back from last year's team, it looks like a sunny season for tennis. Back from last year's team are Don Mason, George Roben, Bob Macllroy, Frances Donovan, Jeannette Berry, and Del Martin. Along with these veterans are the fol- lowing newcomers: Bild McGowan, a boy who will fit into Coach Shermau's team nice- lyg Ralph Kelley. a good player who played varsity tennis his frcshman year. Joyce Lambert. Dot Hawkins. Jean Jackins. Clair Bell, and James Milbery are also rapidly getting into form. The loss of Ronald Hawkins. Joe Mc- Kay. Elizabeth Hogan. and Marjorie Hat- field, all stars of last year's team, will be felt greatly. A fall tennis tournament was held last year to determine the best players in school and to aid in developing new players. The singles in this tourney were won by Don Mason and Frances Donovan. The doubles were won by Frances Donovan and Jean- nette Berry. and by Bob Mcllroy and Don Mason. Other new features this year are the freshman and junior varsity squads, which a1'e coached by Ronald Hawkins. These i11- novations are good. as Hawkins, a star him- self, can give the beginners valuable aid and help to insure Houlton High good tennis teams in the years to come. Girls' Tennis For two consecutive years, the Houlton High School girls' tennis team has combin- ed with the boys' tennis team to win the Aroostook League championship in an un- defeated and untied fashion. With such vet- erans as Jeannette Berry, Frances Donovan. Phyllis Lane, Delourde Martin. and new- comers Dorothy Hawkins and Joyce Lam- a third consecutive the able coaching of bert. prospects for championship under Mr. Sherman appear very favorable. Another tour of the southern part of the state is being planned for the racket wielders of H. H. S., which will include the stiffest of competition among schools like Deering High School of Portland, where ten- nis is a very popular sport.

Houlton lost seven valuable players from last year's team i11 McQuarrie, Adams, Bates, Miller, Carmichael, King, a transfer to A. C. I,, and Niles, who failed to repo1't this year. Vete1'ans back f1'om last year's team are Captain Bither. a southpaw pitcherg Ruth. a hard hitter and a good catcherg Captain Hodgdon. a good catcher and out- fielderg Monahan, a clever player who cov- ers secondg Bossie, a first baseman with no mean abilityg Cameron, a hard-hitting out- fielder. The rookies who are fighting to fill the vacancies left open are James Ward, Paul Ayotte, Jim Donovan, Tom Donovan. Earl Tomilson, Clayton Berry, Reggy Downie, and Kenny Taylor. The team will meet plenty of competi- tio11 this year in their games with Fort Fair- field and Presque Isle in the attempt to win the league flag. i 15 Houlton has played two games at the time of this writing I11 the first game of the season, Houlton defeated a weak Oaklield team. The score was 13-5. In this game all the players were used. The team looked good, considering that this was the first game. Houlton next met Ricker and went down 13-1 in an unoificial game. The team looked very ragged witl1 several exceptions. Houl- ton made plenty of errors, and Ricker was quick to grab these as opportunities to score. The big questions at this time are: can these 1'ookies who have had no experience stand up under fire and fill vacancies, and can the team hit as hard as last year? A junior varsity team to build material for the varsity will be coached by Charles Allen. This is the best sort of insurance of good varsity teams of the future. Young players like Phil Mason and Jim Donovan are thus given a year of training, instead of a year of waiting. 7,4 srfwx-sg xx xw : 'Fa X YT sighs! ag If SQ Wllllll ,Q ,f mfg, , g x,.,.f 2 T 10,110 0,11 1 ,411 111 :nuff Ulla lglflj N5 f ' x. - f .

Against the moon her figure looms As ghostlike as can beg She stays so still almost at will Upon the silvery sea. Many nights the harbor lights Have shone on Rosalie, She's as pretty a sight with her sails so white As ever sailed the sea. The tide has turned while the moonlight burns Almost as bright as dayg She'll slumber on till the coming dawn Shall break across the bay. The River at Sunset By Barbara Perry It was warm a11d fragrant that evening, as I stood on the soft green moss at the river's edge. Behind me we1'e many stal- wart fir and spruce trees sending delicious and spicy odors to my nostrils. Over the tranquil waters of the sparkling river came the last rays of the dying sun. As the fluffy Clouds sailed over it. they seemed miraculously changed from plain white to pale rose, deep gold, orchid. a11d flaming red. Then, as I glanced again at the river, I could see all of the beautiful clouds mirrored ill the depths of it. What a beautiful sight! Farther up the river could be heard the low ripple of the water swirling over some larger pebbles. In the sky, the sun slowly emerged from under the clouds in a flaming red ball. A minute later, it was gone. The river turned into a black, fathomless pool. and the trees stood like black sentinels in the dusk. I shivered as I turned slowly away. My Winter Companion By Ruth Dibblee I have the jolliest comrade that you ever did see. How I could get along without him. now that we are once acquainted, is more than I can tell! Yes, you've guessed aright. Itfs my annual winter cold that lasts till June. He's quite an artist, too. 'though I don't believe he ever studied in Paris. He wields his little brush with a surprising dexterityg and. presto-chango, before you know it, you have the most enhancing nose that has yet been created. He's very amusing. VVhy. he wheezes and grunts and sniffles until everybody is laughing behind my back. But his amusing qualities cease to be a joke when mother brings out all the remedies that grand- mother ever knew. Sometimes, when I'm bundled in bed and, not pnrspiring, but just sweating, I wish we'd never met. But what caps it all is when a long-awaited show comes to town and I have to stay at home to entertain my little friend! Then, when spring again sweeps into our little town, what sweet sorrow parting is! But always to be remembered is the fact that. next winter, we shall probably meet again. - -.. Close of Day By Merle Hawkes The silent hush of that interval when night and day seem to intermingle in dusky greeting is pervading the atmosphere. A few eager frogs are croaking their joyous welcome of the lengthening shadows cast by the nearby foothills. The trees by the side of the dusty, travel-worn road stand like giant sentinels, guarding the unknown. The brook close by the road glides by with fre- quent sighs like a careworn traveler who, having gone far and seen many sights, is glad of the seclusion and rest of night. A peasant walks wearily up the road, glancing neither to right nor left as he nears the small village. A gleam of anticipation lights his eyes and gives a firmer swing to the tired arm holding the heavy tools, as a turn in the road brings into view a small white cottage with a single dim light gleam- ing in the window. He looks at the darkening hills and the lowering sky, and a feeling of supreme thankfulness makes his steps lighter. A feeling of accomplishment lightens the bur- den of the scythe and rake on his shoulder, for had he not cut many bushels of wheat today? The wind, rustling the leaves of the trees, seems to murmur its agreementg and the departing day leaves behind its benedic- tion of peace. The Sea By Lawrence Tilley The blue rolling swells of waves that loom high and foreboding in the foreground, and the silent, endless waters of the sea roll- ing away in the distant, hazy horizon, seem to vibrate with a sense of immense depth and mighty power. This whole world of water stops for no finite man or unending time, but rolls on in silent majesty. VA huge wave, rising up, pointing its white tip at the sky and then sinking swiftly back to the sur- face, emphasizes the irresistible strength of the sea. Each tiny ripple and white spray of foam, riding on these immense swells, re- flects the completeness and perfection of the ocean in its simplicity. The cloud-studded sky seems to hang low over the sea, and its gray billows float along with the waves and disappear with them behind the horizon. Beneath this seething and ever-moving water, all is calm, peaceful, and dark. Its quiet is never disturbed by the upper rest- lessness, and its gloom is never brightened by the noonday sun. All is dismal, but all is vast and infinite. Thrill of a Lifetime By Gerald Gardner As the sun slowly sank behind the dis- tant ridges and the shadows were growing long, a lone hunter paddled slowly over the red, glassy surface of a lake. He was very tired and a little disappointed from a long day's hunt, which had brought him no bigger game than a lone duck. As the hunter push- ed his light canoe around a marshy point, his heart jumped, for there, on the opposite side of the point, silhouetted against the evening sky, stood a huge bull moose. He was, indeed, a king among the mighty monarchs of the forests. Veteran though he was, the hun'ter's hands shook a little as he slowly raised his rifle to his shoulder. He easily picked up, on his sights, a vital spot- just behind the shoulder. As his finger eas- ed back on the trigger, he thought of the glory that would be his when he showed that mighty head to his friends. As the report of the rifle rang out across the lake, the huge bull sank slowly to his knees, and then fell on his side and lay still in the shallow water. The canoe shot madly ahead, and the hunter, all fatigue forgotten, paddled furi- ously around the point to where his prize lay dead. Sunset By Mary Terrio What could be more beautiful than the sunset? Its many beautiful rays of red and blue shine on the many lakes and trees and mountains. Just before darkness, we see it shining in all its splendor. Sometimes it seems almost as if the sky were on fire. The bright red, flame-like rays seem to pierce the earth. The, trees reach up to touch the rays, the bright green contrasting very beautifully with the gold and red. How fortunate we are to have such a. work of art in Nature! The Planter By Merle Hawkes He reaps in joy, who sows in toil Throughout the fruitless years 3 A boundless wealth is his whose seed Is planted in his tears. A thousand banners mark the mound Where lies the earth's creation: A thousand tongues acclaim his hope, The building of a nation. Can this nation stand erect Without a granite pillar? Can we reach the coveted goal Without the muscled tiller? Then let us fight and live and learn, From na.ture's own rough hand, The lesson of good will and trust, In him whose life is land. To Write a Poem By Gerald Gardner When poets start to write a poem, They must have lots of time: They must think about their meter, Their story, and their rhyme. I haven't any meter, I haven't any rhymeg But there is one thing I've plenty of, And that one thing is time. It surely would be easy To write a poem for you, If I could tell a story Of something that was new. But since I can't think of a thing To write about for you, I'1l stop this poem now and hope That what I've done will do. l..-. i Policeman: Imagine a young boy like you, J. Boutilier, so drunk that you have to keep your arms around a telephone pole to keep yourself up. J. Boutllier: I'm not drunk. I was just seeing if I could get my arms around this telephone pole, because if I can I know that I'll be able to get them around Alice tonight. Autumn By Jack Carroll In time of years when summer wanes, And fallen leaves flood wooded lanes, When mellow moonlight casts its gleam 0'er golden field and wandering stream, Then let me roam through silent night, And watch the clouds in silvery flight. In time of year when summer Wanes, And kind earth yields her precious grains When through the Indian summer skies, The fleeing robin southward flies, Then let me roam through hill and dale, In search for Autumn's flaming grail. In time of year when summer wanes, And sky's clear blue the sunset stains, When drifting clouds of crimson hue Float listlessly in velvet blue, Then let me watch the sunset rays - Fade into evening's purple haze. In time of year when summer wanes, And southbound birds sing sweet refrains, When dying plants their pollen drop, From whence shall come October's crop, Then let me tread the fresh turned sod And silently commune with God. Reflections By Wlnnifred Sanderson I open the eastern window That faces toward the sung I hear the singing swallows And the brooks of morning run. The moon is shining brlghtlyg The sky is clear and blue. I hear the singing swallowsg They sing to me of you. Your eyes are like stars of morning, Your lips like a crimson flower! Good night! Good night! beloved, While I count the weary hours. Our English teacher's trying hard Of us, to poets make: Sorry to disillusion him, But I am just a take. -Margaret Smith The Night Run of The Overland By Ruth Peabody It was snowing hard in Valley Junction, all the houses were in darkness except one. The Fox home was lighted, for Sylvia Fox was sitting up with her sick husband. Be- cause Ben, her husband, had been sick a long time, she was asking him to put away his foolish pride, and let her write her fath- er. She longed to tell him where they were -no matter if Ben had forbidden it. But Ben refused to let her write the letter. After a few moments of silence, the spell was broken by the distant scream of a locomotive, half-drowned in the howling wind. Sylvia glanced at the clock. There's the 'Overland', she murmured. She's three minutes late. The wind is dead against her and she must have a hard rail. They both listened with loyalty to the dull roar of the oncoming train. Instead of the usual thunderous burst as the train would sweep by, the earth trembled as the train came to a standstill. They gave each other a startled glance. Soon Sylvia sprang to the door in answer to a rap. My name is Howard, madam, said the conductor. We are in trouble. Our engineer had a stroke of apoplexy fifteen miles back and I want your husband to take this train. But he's too sick, sir, Sylvia exclaim- ed aghast. What's the trouble? called Fox sharp- ley, from his bed. The conductor repeated the storyg and the room was hushed. I'm too sick to do itg but she'll take the train, sir! exclaimed Fox eagerly. And she'll take it through safe, too. The conductor, staggered at this amaz- ing proposition, gasped, and stared at the young woman. I'll go, but someone must stay here with Ben , she said, in a low, resigned voice. As the conductor and Sylvia neared the cab, the conductor said, You're a brave lit- tle woman. Don't lose your nerve-but make time, Whatever you do. Every minute you make up is money in the company's pocket. Besides, we've got a big shot aboard. All you got to do is to get us in on time. The fireman, a young Irishman, stared at Sylvia as she entered the cab. Sylvia glanced at the guages, climbed upon the en- gineer's seat, and soon the Overland was on its way. Sylvia kept the throttle wide open and the reverse-lever to the last notch. The fireman danced attendance on the fire, watching his steam guage and water. Faster and faster they sped through the night. Time, time, time was all that counted with them! Through town after town they pass- ed, bringing Sylvla nearer her goal. In the rear car sat Mr. Staniford, the president, and Howard, who was holding his watch in his hand, hoping that no ill would befall his prodigy. At last, Howard told Staniford that it wasn't Fox that was hauling the train, it was his wife. What is Fox's first name? asked Staniford. I don't know, but he is tall and dark. He runs a small engine, and his wife rides with him: so she knows all the road. The president grasped Howard's hand and said huskily, Charlie, it's my own little baby girl! Howard knew then, as he had read of Staniford's daughter eloping with an en- gineer. She's a heroine and worthy of her father's admiration! Howard said enthus- iastically. The operator at Valley Junction had flashed the news along the wire. Sylvia brought the Overland into the depot in Stockton twenty seconds ahead of time. A curious and enthusiastic throng of lay-over passengers and railroad men pressed around the engine. When Sylvia appeared in the gangway, her hair glistening with melted snow and her pale face streaked with soot, the crowd burst into yells of applause. For a moment she reeled, and then she saw her father pushing unceremoniously through the throng. President Staniford clasped his daughter in his arms, and Sylvia's over- strained nerves gave way under the double excitement. She sobbed, Oh, papa, call me your little red-head again! -A -Typical . Harvard-Yale Football Game By James Donovan One of the best football games I have ever seen was the Harvard-Yale game this year. Saturday morning, November 20, found a light fall of snow around Boston, which made the field in the Stadium soggy. At one o'clock, my brother and I left for the Harvard Stadium, where we arrived early, the large gates of the stadium still being flooded with incoming spectators. The game started shortly after we ar- rived, with both teams set on winning. Har- drives deep into vard opened up with Yale's territoryg but because of the efficient punting of Colwell, Yale's fullback, Yale was kept out of danger. Midway through the second period, Foley, Harvard's half- back, faded back and passed to Daughters, who caught the ball on the seven-yard line and scored from there. Harvard's try for the extra point was blocked. This ended the scoring of the first half. I wandered around during the half and had hardly returned when Yale started on a sixty-seven yard scoring drive, Clint Frank was on the scoring end of this drive, carry- ing the ball over from the two-yard line. Yale's try for the extra point was blocked. The score was 6-6. Harvard's other score came on a long drive, early in the fourth quarter. Struck, MacDonald, and Foley ripped off long gainsg but it was Foley who scored. He scored from the ten-yard line on an end run. Bos- ton converted, making the score 13-6. Toward the closing minutes, Yale open- ed up its passing attack with Captain Frank passing. Harvard was not to be cheated of its victory and knocked down all Yale pass- es. The game ended with Yale on the short end of a 13-6 score. The Harvard players who were out- standing were Struck and Foley in the backfield, while the whole line did a re- markable job at stopping Frank and the other Yale backs. Clint Frank, Yale's great captain, was outstanding on defense, stopping Harvard's running attack time and time again. All through the game, he demonstrated his sportsmanship as well as his athletic pow- ers. Even in losing, he proved himself worthy of the title of All American . Physical vs. Mental Qualities By Donald Macllroy ' There are two distinct types of laziness. These two types are physical laziness and mental laziness. Physical laziness is the most easily observed, while mental laziness is discernible only by those who seek to ob- serve it. The unbalanced person has a larger proportion of one of these than of another. A certain high school boy may play an out- standing game of football, yet fail to com- plete the greater part of his English, French, or science assignments. The boy who sits across the aisle may never exer- cise his body, yet be the valedictorian of his class. The first young man can be compared with a machine. His spectacular actions on the gridiron are merely plays which have been inserted into his mind by the coach. He, as a member of the team, is just an- other cog in a great physical mechanicism, controlled by plays which the players have memorized. His classmate, who never indulges in anything the least bit strenuous bodily, has an active mind and uses it to great advant- age. He gives all subjects a complete an- alysis and acts accordingly. He is often so studious that his intellectual ability greatly offsets his physical actions. In short, he's odd. The balanced person takes an interest in a variety of physical and mental activi- ties. He keeps regular hours and takes the proper amount of exercise and rest daily. He grasps all opportunities that will ad- vance his knowledge, when others would al- low these chances to pass by. - CLOUDS One very warm afternoon last summer at Old Orchard Beach, I sat idly on the soft sand and watched the clouds floating by on the beautiful azure sky. The larger ones seemed to go lazily across the sky like big white dogs that had been lying in the hot summer sun. The small ones played, jump- ed, and danced around the celestial heavens like little children who had just come out for their afternoon play. All of them Were so white that they looked like newly-shaken balls of angora disappearing over the wavy horizon.-Jeanette Small.

Whether they be large metal structures or merely little log platforms, they equally produce in one the great desire-to reach the other side. As the traveler approaches a huge sus- pension bridge with all its long cables and towers 1'eaching up into the sky, he feels an emotion of smallness surge Within him. As he starts out across the spacious straight Way With the opposite end a mere pin point in the distance, he feels safe. A real pleas- ure is his When the pin point in the distance. all of a sudden, looms into reality. The bridge has been conquered. Around the curve on a little dusty road stands, weather-beaten but faithful, a pine- board covered bridge. Its black entrance beckons the traveler to its mysteries, and he enters. As he walks over the boards, they rattle and rumble and create a fear of falling through. But bright light outside again revives him, and he feels ashamed of that suspense as he crossed. Once more, a simple bridge controlled the emotions of man. In times of long ago, men crawled over a log to cross a deep chasm, in the present age, men speed across mighty spans of steel. But in either case, every person who crosses a bridge will feel that it is telling him something, that it is c1'eating in him varied emotions, and that, though put there for his use, it is something bigger than he is. 1il Fire By Charles Hannigan Angry red flames lick their lips, pre- paratory to partaking in the dessert of their costly meal. Firemen play a futile stream of Water upon the burning roof, Which, upon receiving the liquid, hisses and roars, then continues to burn with undiminished fer- ocity. From within, a dark cloud of smoke billows forth. The great barn sways and totters on its fire-eaten foundation, then slowly crumbles and, with a great roar, col- lapses. Once more, man's greatest helper has rebelled. War By Gwen McGrew The flare of bugles, the beat of drums! The soldier thrills to his country's callg His head held high, he joyful comes, While the Stars and Stripes wave over all. Still gallant and gay, he goes forth to duty, Goes forth to war, some nation to save. While homeland fades in all its beauty, He faces, gladly, foe and grave. When years have passed, and war is done, Home the valiant warrior comesg But see! he's crippled, his course 'most run, And now there are no stirring drums. The boys are back! But what do they End? No work, no money, depression, and vice! And some are maimed, and some are blind, And some there are whose hearts are ice. If this is war, and what it brings, Then down with war, and let come peace! So out with the bugle, and let it sing The sweetest song, Let conflict cease! Clouds By Barbara Perry I love to watch those fleecy mists Glide slowly through the sky, I love to see them turn and twist, Then fade out by and by. One time, there came an angry bear, So big and black and gruff, He seemed to bristle every hair, Then raised his nose to snuff. The rain came down in torrent streams, The bear stood up and roared, His big eyes flashed like lightning beamsg Then the sun came out once more. The fleecy clouds once more rolled ong The song birds hummed a tune, The bear in the sky was wholly gone On this lovely day in June. Mr. Porter: What is a circle? Student: A circle is a point with a line around it. A Champion Team By Tom Popham Bossie, in his childhood days, Used to think of various playsg Now his eyes are for the basket, He shoots with accuracy fantastic. Ruth, with his light and curly hair, Down the floorboards he does tearg He thinks of Irma in her seat. The coach says, With Irma, we can't be beat. Mason, Don, with his serious face, After the ball he sure does chase, Into the basket he does shoot. A girl in the bleachers says, He's cute! Next comes 'tWilley , straight and tall, Willey too is after the ball. In his corner, pale, he stands, Waiting to lend a helping hand. Albert Donovan, he's so tall, That he can reach half up the wall To get the rebound, which is best, To pass to Bossie to do the rest. You have to hand it to coaches and men Who made the team, so it may again Win a championship to hang on the wall, In the great old game of basketball! Hunting By Everett Gardner A hunter needs patience, endurance, and skill. Not many hunters can get very near wild game without making a noise. Not many hunters can travel all day and still travel soundlessly and patiently. To be a good hunter, you have to be able to en- dure cold weather and long tramps through the woods. You must be able to go through the woods without making any noise and be able to shoot and shoot straight at a mo- ment's notice. If the agriculture teacher were unmar- ried and young like the two boys from the U. of M., all the girls would take agricul- ture. Youth By Jeannette Berry About the middle of September, the last school bell to be awakened from its summer sleep has begun to ring again. A little hand- bell sounding from the schoolhouse steps, or a big bell clanging from the tower, it an- nounces that Young America has settled down for another term of study. Those bell notes make us sense again the unforgetable aroma of the schoolroom-fragrance of apples mingled with the print-and-paper odor of brand new schoolbooks, the smell of freshly varnished desks blending with the scent of flowers on the teacher's desk. This year, as usual, some go as small children, led by their mothers to their first timid ex- perience of that strange place. Some a little older are seasoned school kids , speculat- ing about the new prof -we have heard that he is a despot, a tyrant, and a martinet. We come this year, thirty millions of us -almost every fourth person in the land- twenty-five percent of the American nation -not counting a million teachers-all back in school. In truth, we never have been away. Vacation also was a school. And what is more, we never can get away. The boy plays hockey, but he has only run away to an- other schoolg when he plays hockey at fifty, he still finds that to be true. There is no dodging the universal schoolmaster. The impatient student drops his schoolbooks for a .job, and discovers that factory, store, or office is but another classroom, and not so ready to help you, either. This reminds us that we all think that We are being overworked. We go to French class, for instance, and Madame Briggs says, I want to see everybody take his French book home tonight. Of course, this little speech was direct- ed at the boys. Girls always take their French home and know their lesson the next day--someone has to keep the class going. The dismissal bell rings. Every boy takes his French book from his desk and and puts it on top of the rest of his books. He immediately proceeds down the stairs and walks by Mrs. Briggs' room very slow- ly. She sees the book and smiles. She goes on with her work and thinks that she will have a good recitation tomorrow, anyway. Poor lady, what a disappointment! The boy then proceeds to the basement and puts the French book in his locker. The book is for- gotten until he calls for it to take up past Mrs. Briggs' room again. Madame is sitting outside of her door, and smiles when she sees the boy with the French book. and says, Avez-vous etudie votre lecon, Monsieur? Of course, he smiles rather sheepishly and answers meekly, Oni, Madame. To learn all that you can of what now is known, and use it so intelligently that new knowledge may come to mankind's relief- that is the counsel of the morning school bells and the afternoon school bells and the night-school bells, pealing from 250,000 schoolhouses over this land. Mining Commas in Dyer Brook By Hacker Putnam Mining commas is one of the greatest in- dustries of this country. The leading sec- tion where commas are mined is in Dyer Brook, a large manufacturing and mining town in Maine. . To mine commas, one must take an ex- clamation point and drive it into the ground, then withdraw the exclamation point and take a question mark. Invert the question mark and lower it into the hole. Pull the question mark out and probably there will be a comma on the hook of the mark. If this fails, drag two or three periods into the mine. This will cause combustion and soon two or three commas will bounce out. When the commas are mined, they are put in trains and shipped to schools. The commas are unloaded, and then the teachers try to get the students to use them. Try and do it! On Memorial Day Here's to the bodies across the seag They fought to save democracy. Their graves are bloody battle grounds, Their sermon-war's most gruesome sounds. Here's to the day that's set aside In memory of those men who died. They're all in our proud hearts set down As heroes brave, of world renown. -Maurice . Frlel The Problem of Relief By Frank Rogers Relief has come about in the last five years since President Roosevelt came into office. He was probably influenced a great deal by certain people known in common languages as Seb Sisters . These people are inevitably in the middle class. They feel sorry for the poor people, almost too sorry, in fact. These people are usually fairly well-to-do, but never contribute to the cause in which they are so enthralled. The immigrants are another cause of the increasing number of poor people in the United States. A certain number of immi- grants are admitted into our country every year. They come in the hope of making a fortune in a hurry. But they are wrong, and we know it, yet still we do nothing about lt. Pensions, in a sense of the word, help to do away with relief. In most poor families, there are generally elderly people who are old enough to receive pensions and so help that family to get along. Pensions also help old people who have to retire and would soon have to go to the poorhouse to live. There are many different kinds of pen- sions which are in effect today. For in- stance, the pensions for people sixty-five years or over are now in effect. The rail- roads pension their workers when they reach a certain age. There are many other pensions which are presented to the work- erg these, certain companies exert them- selves to produce. The money spent on pensions within a company is earned by the company through the efforts of the Workers. The money spent on the old age pensions is procured by tax- ing the businesses which employ more than eight people. The people are also taxed a certain amount according to their wages. This is called Social Security. The effects of relief are deteriorating. It forces men and women alike to become dependent on it, and they tend to become lazy. Their attitudes change, and they re- fuse good paying jobs so that they can get something for nothing. In other words, they would rather be on relief, leaning on a shovel, than working for a living. The people who are on relief are not in any position to strike, although in some ln- stances they do. When they strike, they de- stroy property, and a. number of people are often killed. The strikes really do not help the people, but hinder them because they lose money in wages. The number of people on relief ls un- known to me, but there are a great number even in our own town. In some instances, families who ask for relief need it less than others. Some are too sensitive to appeal to the town for relief. In cities today, you see children stand- ing on street corners begging. They were probably sent there by their fathers and mothers to get money for some of the luxur- ies for a dilapidated home. Some receive a basket of groceries to take to the imaginary baby who is starving at home. The children under this influence will no doubt become the country's future criminals and paupers. And what do we expect of these children who are brought up in this manner? We certainly expect too much of them. Government odicials say we are in re- lief to stayg and, with this in mind, the American youth probably faces the greatest problem of many a century. 438' Autumn Dresses By Marian Nelson In the autumn, the leaves don their best party dresses and have a two-months holi- day. They resemble the female sex of man in the way each endeavors to secure the prettiest dress. Some, finally, are clad in gold dresses, bright orange dresses, scar- let dresses, in a gold blouse and green skirt, or in a crimson blouse and gold skirt. No- where in the excited crowd is there seen anyone wearing a house-dress of solid green. The lack of tailored, black-and-white es- corts does not influence the joy of the gayly clad merrymakers. Instead, they all have but one escort, the ever-reckless breeze. No one is jealous because he takes turns mak- ing love to and dancing with the throng. They merrily follow in his wake, dipping, turning, bowing, and skipping. At last, for- saken by their playful lover for a new flame, they slowly and gracefully wind their way downward, to sleep forever on Mother Nature's most prized possession, her green, downy carpet.

Al- ready the rays of the summer S1111 stream through the windows of the east transept, falling horizontally across the great altar canopy, o11ly to vanish into nothingness in the corners of the opposite transept. But we cannot yet see clearly about us. The ever-increasing light presents us with ever- changing impressions. Now we feel our- selves as if in a great forest. The heavy pillars are the trunks of the trees. Above our heads, they break into the twining branches of the high vaulting. Above the branches hangs the dense foliage, through which only an occasional clearstory window admits light. But soon the sun disillusions us, presenting us with a scene of which na- ture clearly was not the architect. Rather are we in a paradise which represents the inspiration of an artist. When the dying rays of the crimson sun Merge in the wooded glen, It veils the earth with radiance- God's hand-wrought diadem. Merle Hawkes How to Teach a Dog To Bark By Dorothy Wood The first thing to do, to teach a dog to bark, is to procure the dog. Then pinch his feet or tail, and he will give a very undigni- fied yap. If you want a dignified bark, give the dog a bone and then take it away. If this doesn't work and he still continues to yap, a professor fpreferably an English pro- fessorl might be hired to teach him. Of course, the dog, like many pupils, may be a very stupid creature and slow to learn. In that case. it would be best to send him to a university where he would learn how to bark. Another scheme might be to show him a cat and then start the cat in the direction of a tree. This will always work. and the dog will immediately give forth a burst of barks of the highest quality-if there is such a variety. lt is no fun to write a poem VVheu you are not a poet. So when you 1'ead this little verse, You will doubtless know it. -Helen Fortier 'i , ,, l.4 T g Just a Dog By Barbara Perry What a wonderful Christmas gift she was! There could have been nothing given me that I would have liked better. It was Christmas Eve just before supper, when in came Daddy carefully carrying a cardboard box which he immediately set upon the floor. Of course, this act excited our curios- ity, and we all gathered around to see what this mysterious package contained. When it was opened, our first thought was, Oh, a baby kitten! But, at a second glance, we could see it was a little white baby puppy not more than four weeks old. She looked up at us with big, frightened brown eyes: and we all fell in love with her on the spot. Such a baby as she was! During the first week or two, she had to be fed with a little nursing bottle because she hadn't yet learned how to lap up milk properly. Every time I would place a dish of milk before her, she would immediately put her two front paws into the dish, stick her little pink nose into the milk. and try to suck it up. This would always produce disastrous results, as the milk would inevitably go up her nose, making her cough and sneeze until one would think she was about to suffocate. Every Friday, she had her bath. Of course, she didn't enjoy this procedure, but she would stand there and endure it. When she came out of the little porcelain tub, wringing wot, I always had to stand beside the tub with a big rough towel ready to clap over her, because, the minute she left it, she started shaking herself. Just one of those shakes was sufficient to cover the floor with water. To-day, she is about a year old. She has learned many amusing tricks. One of her pet tricks is to stand up on her hind legs and prance daintily all about the room beg- ging for some sweet tidbit we might be eat- ing. One can never resist her, for she has such an appealing way. Once a week, she is weighed on a little pair of grocery scales. When she arrived last year on Christmas Eve, she just tipped the scales at two whole pounds. To-day, al- most exactly a year later, she weighs the enormous amount of eleven pounds and one half. But I needn't worry. She is still grow- ing, Maybe, some day, she will be a big dog. The Bay By Philip Stewart From the water's edge, one could get a complete view of the bay. On the left, it opened into the boundless expanse of the sea. Overhead, the blue sky was flecked with drifting white clouds. Sailboats with spreading canvasses glided to and fro through the gently rolling waves. Motor- boats darted over the bay, making streams of rippling waves which spread from shore to shore. On the opposite shore, a light- house, tall and white, towered above the rocks, its glass windows glittering in the sunlight. To the right of it, several old four- masted schooners could be seen, lying idly at anchor, their masts and spars reaching high into the air. A village was situated on the inner part of the bay. The waterfront of the village was lined with wharves, where boats of all types and sizes were moored. Overhead, large swarms of screeching sea- gulls circled in the sky. -.'1TGb Boys' Basketball Scores Houlton Merrill 12 Houlton Island Falls 12 Houlton Danforth 15 Houlton Stearns 28 Houlton Island Falls 22 Houlton Sherman 19 Houlton Danforth 11 Houlton Fort Fairfield 14 Houlton Stearns 29 Houlton Presque Isle 33 Houlton Washburn 18 Houlton Caribou 31 Houlton A.

Morning By Gerald Gardner I rose early one summer morning to watch the wo1'ld come to life. All was quiet and peaceful, for the birds and flowers were still far away in the land of nodf, Then I saw the sky redden in the east. and the sun slowly climbed over the hills for his day's journey across the sky. The little sunbeams started playing over the glittering, dew-lad- en grass, a11d peeking i11to all the dark nooks and cralmies of the valley. Trees, bushes, hills, and other objects were continually coming into view as the sun pushed its light farther and farther over the land. Flowers lifted their faces, birds burst into song. and smaller animals gamboled in the fields. Everything was happy: and well it should be Oll such a glorious morning! Miss Daggett, after putting some rules on the board: Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Kenneth Elliott: I don't smoke a pipe. Miss Daggett: Your mother ought to be proud of you. I 27 A Little Old Lady By Bettie Smart The little old lady with her Persian cat sat on a small green bench beside a garden of old-fashioned flowers. She appeared to be a small statue carved in ivory, so motion- less she sat. The fiery sun, blazing behind her as it settled for its nightls rest, made a shining halo of her soft white hair. Gazing dreamily at the flowers, she seemed to have thoughts of the past--beautiful thoughts. thoughts that no o11e but her could ever know. The flowers, lifting their rainbow heads, fluttered in the breeze and shower- ed their sweet perfumes upon her. They seemed to whisper to each other that the little lady would always be happy while she could dream beside them with her cat in her a1'ms. Miss Daggett was standing on the sta- tion platform in Boston, when a drunken man came up and asked: D-d-d-id you s-s-see S-s-s-now White and the S-s-s-seven Dwarfs? Miss Daggett: Yes. The man: Which way did they go? A Student's Version Of The Twenty-Third Psalm By Doris Brown Miss Percival is my teacher: I shall not pass. She maketh me do hard problems in English class. She leadeth me to the board when I have not studied: She restoreth my quizzes with bad marksg Yea, though I walk through the halls and corridor, I shall Do no evil, for Mr. Peabody standeth there with his detention list and paddleg they comfort me C?J. She prepareth a quizz for me in the presence of my classmatesg She anointeth my head with knowledge: My brain runneth over. Surely to Goodness and Mercy I shall never graduate, And I shall go to high school forever. The Ballad of Russell Pond By Charles Wood, Jr. O, come with me to Russell Pond, A place of which I'm very fond. So many fish you catch to cook, As, 'hind the trees, you bait your hook. A moose swims out across the lake Whose picture we are glad to take. Behind the camp, deer sometimes walk, And eat the salt upon a rock. Once Milton B. went on the trip, And to go fishing took a ship. He tied it to a solid rock, And to his friend began to talk. The chafing rope let go the boat: The loosened craft was set afloat. Their cries for help were not soon heard, And so their rescue was deterred. The wind was strong, the waves were high, But the guide resolved to do or die. At last, he brought them to the shore, And they were laughed at evermore. Once every year, it is a treat To walk ten miles and get sore feet. But I still think it's worth all this, For Russell Pond is sportman's bliss. Romans 8:28 By Margaret Smith To mortal eye, what wonders be The height of sky, the depth of sea, From north to south, From east to west-H All made by God, who knoweth best. Then, God, who made all nature fair, From creeping things to fowls of air, On hill and dell, In sea, on land, Surely He must care for man! Yes, God does care for every man Though hard it seems to understandg So wayward, weak, So sinful, wrong, Yet in our hearts He'll put a song. If in Jehovah we will trust, Our God of Truth and Love is just! In life and death, In grief and pain, Triumphant in our hearts Hc'll reign! Not always will the way be clear, But oftentimes 'tis dark and drear. We'll walk in faith, Believe His Word: All works for good, thus saith the Lord. All things, together for our good, To them who love and trust the Lord, Then Him we'll trust, Our all we'll give: From now, henceforth for Christ we'll live! My Shadow By Louise McMonigIe I have a little shadow That goes about with me. It stays with me the live long day And keeps me company. It's not at all substantial, It's nothing I can graspg But still it can't be cheated- It follows when not asked. It follows me to the schoolhouseg It follows me to the parkg The only time I lose it Is when I'm in the dark. 28 l SENIOR PLAY CAST Front row. left to right: Dibblee, Be1'ry, Farrar, Currier.

The Advantages of Reading With One Eye By Gerty-Anonymous The advantage of reading with one eye is that you read much slower. This is an ad- vantage because it takes you longer to pre- pare your dearly beloved subjects. Besides, when the one eye gives out you can use the other, which means that you can study long- er. When you are reading with one eye, we naturally use only one-half of our brains. With the other half, we can be thinking of the basketball games or the movies. The only hard thing about it is that your lessons you prepare always get muddled up with the more important game or movie. On second thought, you could sleep with one eye and, therefore, you are never tired the next day. If we read with only one eye, the saying that you see too much would not be true, be- cause we could see only that which we are supposed to see. Themes By Lyle Wiggins I think that I shall never see Anything as difficult as a theme, A theme whose dreary lines are spent To keep the reader in suspense, A theme that's ranked by Marsh as 'A' And lives in your memory day by day, A theme that may in some place bear, Descriptive places here and there, Upon whose pages eyes have lain And enviously will remaing A pen is used by students like me, - But only Marsh can Write a theme. Perhaps you may think me rather numb To copy a poem that once was done, But I have been working here like heaven To get this done by January seven! Exams By Elizabeth Farrar How terrible are exams! Why do we have them? Do teachers actually believe in them, or do they give us exams just as a matter of form? Personally, I think they are very absurd, foolhardy, nonsensical factors. We students go to school for eighteen Weeks and then are expected to write, in an hour and a half, what we learned in the eighteen weeks. For two or three days before the mid-year or final exams, we cram our poor developing minds so full of a conglomeration of ions, verbs, legislature, exponents, names, vocabu- laries, and what not, that, when we sit down to write our papers, we suddenly find that our minds are perfect blanks! Exams arenot truly good ways of find- ing out how much a student knows. A teacher can better tell how much a student is worth by his daily responses or by fre- quent quizzes. A student may do large A for eighteen weeks and get a small b in his exam. He would then get a lower rank than a large A on his rank card. Perhaps he had a headache when he took the exam. Maybe he got a scolding before he left home and was still thinking about it. Maybe there was to be a ball game with a. strong oppos- ing team, in which the student intended to take a part. Youth should not be hampered with such things as exams. Of course, we sym- pathize with the teacherg but, more, we syru- pathize with ourselves. Will the youth of this free country always have to take mid- year or final exams? We wonder! A Friend By Ruth Edwards All is not gold that glitters. You may have a so-called friend who you think is very dear to you: but, when trying circum- stances and problems come your Way, watch your golden friend fly away. Every- body needs a friend that he can confide in and ask advice from, therefore pick your friend with the greatest of care. You Want one that will stand by you through thick and thin and who will keep your treasured secrets away from gossipy mouths. This kind of a person you need all ofthe time. Some of us like to be flatteredg and, if some sly person finds it out, you're likely to forget about your friend. This last per- son is not a friend, but only someone who wants something you've got and he knows he can easily getg so donft ,be easily fooled by the glittering gold that flashes before your eyes. H. H. S. News Oddities Did you know that- Mr. Lambert spends his spare time fwe wonder how much that ish at a camp in the Haynesville woods where he hunts, fishes, and sleeps? Ada Friel and Albert Donovan equal Mutt and Jeff? Every Monday evening Mr. Wood con- ducts a class? In this class, we would find prominent farmers of Houlton and vicinity learning how to get better results from their crops. Allston Smith, the principal of Houlton Junior High School, had made a great many improvements in the school, among which are: modernizing the library so that it is very much better than formerly, organizing various clubs which do active work, and numerous other things? And did you know that he had a master's degree in education from the University of Maine? The janitor of the junior high school, Mr. Roberts, is an excellent magician and has taught his son many tricks? Mr. VanTassel, whom most of us know as a janitor, is actually much more than that? He works with cement in the summer, he formerly worked as a foreman of the con- struction of bridges for the Bangor and Aroostook R. R., and he also Worked for some time for the Canadian National Rail- road. After all this, he still seems content to do janitor work for us. The week following graduation a group of teachers including Mr. Lambert, Mr. Wood, and others go to Mt. Katahdin and have a whale of a celebration? That Mrs. Abbott is doing very active work in the Girl Scout Program? A group of average-grade senior boys under the supervision of Mr. Marsh publish once a month a school paper called the Houlton Highster? These boys put in long hours at the printing machines for which they get a lot of pleasure from it be- cause they love their work. Much credit should go to these faithful workers! Mr. Woodworth is an ideal superinten- dent, a true friend, a popular humorist, a swell dancer, and works twelve hours a day? 30 and Oddities Within ten or fifteen years, we are apt to get a new school building? That there are incubators in room 2 every spring, where Mr. Wood raises chic- ens to sell, making about S150 for his Future Farmers club? News ? Hutch Went to Bangor recently to see Dot, but her mother wouldn't Iet her out! Too bad, Hutch! That is a long way to go, to get fooled! Ardith has had a terrible time evading her date . He seems quite insistent. Harold, isn't it bad enough for Willie to be constantly on Sunnyside Street with- out your being there too? May the best man win! Marjorie is the judge! It seems to be a matter of luck who shall get a date with Verna Pressley of R. C. I. We hear that Lyle and John succeed quite often. Poor Lloyd! He was torn between two extremes. You see, his sister and his latest flame were both candidates for the circus queen. It is a long way out to Athlyn's home, isn't it, Gerald? Do not rob the cradle. Vernon, take heed! After all, Helen is a freshman and rather young. ' If you remember correctly, you will re- call many girls awaiting their opportunity to see the minstrel show. Handsome Don- ovan, we believe, was the attraction. Ruth K. wants to borrow a car. It is a long way to Debec, and her flame can have the family car but once a week. George is quite undecided who THE girl will be, so we can't give any definite in- formation. Gordon is going around in circles! Keep a stiff upper lip, Gordon! Jeannette won't be ill all spring. No more noon lunches! Better give your attention to Alma now, Wesley. Virginia and Ralph did a lot of team work trying to win the birthday prize at the circus dance, but the award was given differ- ently from what was anticipated. Too badg she needs an alarm clock!

Those happy smiles and slightly insane actions. those days of mingled work and play. the cheery calls of friends, the distant, sounds of orchestra practice, laughter, and applause, our assemblies and games-even the teachers iGod forgive theinj-all combine to make thirty-six weeks of Houlton High School a busy, unforgetable year. Yes indeed-ffthose were HAPPY DAYS! 31 Clubs of Houlton High School One half of the students of Houlton High are members of some kind of a club. Among many various kinds, the school boasts of two scholastic organizations, the English Club and the Honor Society. The English Club was brought into be- ing three years ago by Philip Marsh, head of the English Department, to urge the students to take a keener interest in that subject. To limit the number of members and to make one work for a membership, only the juniors doing a work and the sen- iors doing B work are eligible. Therefore, the fifty-seven members have a right to con- sider their membership an honor. This club has been the most active of all the clubs. This year it has had two sup- pers and two evening meetings, at which Rev. Martin Storms and Mr. Flynt, of Rick- er, were the guest speakers. The members of the club were entertained by Ricker, and they have held their annual junior-senior party. Besides its many other activities, the club has sponsored a treasure hunt, and has published a four-page magazine, The Literator, Jr. Although the Honor Society has not been over active this year, it stands for more than any other club. To be a member of this club, one must receive twelve a's and only four B's for four successive semesters. This year the society, under the leader- ship of Mrs. Howe and Maurice Friel, presi- dent, has had two suppers, has sponsored a dance after a basketball game, and has had charge of the ping pong game at the annual circus. Of course, no school is complete with- out its letter clubs, and Houlton High is more than proud of its Girls' and Boys' H Clubs. To be a member of these distinguish- ed organizations, one much receive an H for some service rendered to the school. There are about forty members in the boys' club and about fifteen in the girls'. The members of these two clubs have held numerous dances after basketball games and several suppers in the home economics room. The thirty members of the boys' agri- cultural class, who call themselves Future Farmers, meet every two weeks to have a supper, at which they entertain a guest speaker. The twenty members of the girls' agricultural class meet once every month to have a supper. Until this year, the physics class met about once a month for a supper. Their cream pie suppers were the talk of the school. Naturally many of the boys and girls belong to the Scouts, who are very active in every community. This year, the juniors and seniors tak- ing home economics have started the Home Economics Club. These forty girls have had two suppers and several dances, and have sponsored the Sunlight Socials, which were organized to interest the students in social etiquette and how to dance. Another organization in the school, al- though not exactly a club, has an important function in editing and publishing the school newspaper, The Houlton Highster. Mr. Marsh, the faculty supervisor, began the paper in 1934 and hopes to continue to pub- lish this interesting and lively sheet. There are a number of students who may or may not belong to an organized club, but who take part in special activities. Sixty girls meet once a week to take an hour hike. Some of the boys like Claude Adams and Lawrence Tilley are keenly interested in photography. The members of the steno- graphic classes compete with other schools for various awards. Last, but in no way the least, there are the numerous members of the athletic and debating teams. On the whole, it is not too much to say that Houlton High is well served by clubs that are active, interesting, and useful units of the school.

We have an excellent high school orchestra, with which is associated a band: we are even more proud of our junior high orchestra, recently organized. Under the persistent drilling of Mr. Ivan Sherman, as- sisted by Miss Fowles, the junior group has come along surprisingly fast, and now boasts a repertoire of about ten pieces. The senior group plays about twenty, and has shown noticeable improvement since coming under Mr. Sherman's direction two years ago. In vocal music, we are deeply indebted Horace Porter and Miss Isabelle to Mr. Fairbanks, instructing boys' and girls' glee clubs respectively. Out of a large group of volunteers, Miss Fairbanks has selected forty-one, and Mr. Po1'ter eighteen of the best voices. These groups have entertained us many times at assemblies. Both clubs, along with the orchestras, broadcast last winter over the radio: both participated in the recent Music Nightg and the boys' glee club bore the major share of the minstrel show at the high school circus. The crowning musical event of the year took place on May 3, Music Night , when well over a hundred musicians and singers presented a splendid program in the high school auditorium to an audience of five hundred. With the two orchestras on the floor and both glee clubs on the stage, a rich selection of vocal and instrumental music was rendered, as follows: March, Salute Combined Orchestras March, US. I. B. A. High School Band March, Officer of the Day High School Band Fox Trot, Harbor Lights High School Orchestra Maid of the West Girls' Glee Club March, Bunny Parade Junior High Orchestra March, Class Leader Junior High Orchestra A Perfect Day Saxophone Ensemble Stars of the Summer Night Boys' Glee Club 39 Ove1'ture, Merrymakers High School Orchestra Piano Solo, Old Black Joe Elsa Bostrom Waltz, The Waltz You Saved For Me High School Orchestra Mandalay Combined Glee Clubs Waltz, In a Swing Junior High Orchestra March, Comrades Combined Orchestras I Love You Truly Junior High Trumpet Ensemble Waiting in the Shadows Girls' Triple Trio Fox Trot, There's a Gold Mine in the Sky High School Orchestra Instrumental duet Leo and Leona Crafts All Day on the Prairie Boys' Double Trio March, Triumphal Chorus from Aida High School Orchestra The Star Spangled Banner High School Orchestra Snow By Cedric Somerville When you see a snow flake falling, it seems to float from the sky. You might de- scribe snow as the Indians called pop-corn. The Indians called pop-corn-the corn that flowers. Snow could be called-rain that blossoms. If you look at some of these flakes under a microscope, you will be sure to find some that are perfect, six-pointed stars. The points will be veined and fring- ed like the petals of a flower. Most snow flakes are six-sided or pointed crystals. A lot of flakes are torn by the wind, or they get their points knocked off by falling against other flakes. So when it snows again, don't think of snow as an ugly thing but as a perfect example of nature's skill in designs. Times flies when you're happyg It drags when you're blue 3 So when you read this poem of mine, It will seem like hours to you. -Margaret Craigs L : E Q ' qlmu X X Q- f U Q X an x .

Varney, who was visiting the Church of England, spied the prayer stools: and, after a minutes thought, said: What cute little foot stools! John Lakin, finding a hankie on the floor of the auditorium, stood Waving it around in the air. Miss Fairbanks, seeing him, said: Do you have to stand there Wav- ing it at me? Put it in the basket! John turned around and around in the middle of the floor. The exasperated Miss Fairbanks yelled: If you can't find the basket, bring it to ine. Don't stand there like a dodo in the middle of the floor. Sit down! Mr. Sherman: How many kinds of com- position are there? J. Cassidy: Two. Mr. S.: What are they? J. C.: Good and bad.

Snow By Hacker Putnam Snow is a fickle, irregular thing. It sometimes comes like dusk creeping up up- on daylight, with its large, fluffy flakes pat- tering softly to the ground. Sometimes it comes with a rush like a dog running to greet its master, driving and swirling as if it would cover the very housetops. And sometimes it sends its little, feathery messengers, which announce the coming of the storm as the first birds announce the coming of spring. I like to see the snow come, because it covers the ground with a fresh, clean, white blanket. Snow changes swiftly and sudden- ly in its moods. In the morning, it may be like a big, peaceful white cat basking in the sunlight, and, in the evening, a drifting, sifting, whirling demon. Snow is sometimes friendly. It helps the lumbermen haul their logs out of the woods. It lays a smooth, firm surface on which peo- ple can ski and slide. Snow is sometimes an enemy. It piles the roads with almost un- conquerable drifts so that people cannot travel and are forced to stay at home. It makes men get out and crawl on their knees, shovel and sweat, and sometimes, I fear, indulge in profanity, when their autos get stuck. Some people dislike the snow. I im- agine boys regret to see the snow come fall- ing lnto their freshly-shoveled driveways. I suppose the truck drivers dislike to see the highways covered with a slippery, icy coat of snow. But everyone likes to see it snow at Christmas time. When I got to room 19, Mrs. Howe said, You are late. I went into the office, And Mr. Lambert made a date. -Fred McCarthy Friends, as we reach our destined goal, We must, as time does onward roll, Preserve, and keep, and closely guard The truths for which we fought so hard. -Ardith Lakin Mr. Marsh: All men are liars. I am a man. Therefore, I am a liar.

I like to walk under the street lights casting their awe- some shadowsg and,. as you walk from one to another, your shadow becomes long and then short with clocklike precision. In the summer, the street lights attract a horde of insects which throw their enlarg- ed shadows on the street below. In the win- ter, the lights are softened into a mellow glow by the softly falling snow. In the rain, they sparkle and flash like tall, one-eyed monsters. Street lights are loyal and faithful things, and always light your way until they are, perchance, smashed by some kids on Hallowe'en. -M'-5'-5 5 5''Q''i 5 5 2 Z 5 E 9'! 5 'v'5 ! 2 ! 5 5 ! 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 4 5 !
