Kennard HONOR SOCIETY A FLEA FOR TOLERANCE The United States public today worries about taxes, national and international politics, housing, food, and atomic energy. Yet we. who almost control atomic power and international finances, who have a major part in world politics and food prob- lems. do not have a fraction of the worries of European countries. Most Europeans and Asiatics, but especially the Greeks and people of India are starving. Many Ger- mans can't find a house, much less one in which to live. The Balkans and Near East are being threatened by Russia, and Russia thinks that she is being threatened by the Anglo-Americans with the atomic bomb. One thing that we Americans must turn our thoughts to and worry about is toler- ance. for a lack of religious, cultural, racial, social, and political tolerance play- ed a part in shaping up this past conflict. Wherever it is-present, intolerance creates dissention, a bad thing to have in any country or community. One of the first thingsthat Hitler did after coming into power was to enforce his intolerance of everything that might inter- fere with National Socialism. In his cam- paign of political intolerance he destroyed the opposition. parties, having already overthrown the Weimar Republic. He burn- ed the libraries in order to do away with the teachings of their books, hoping that through this cultural intolerance he could set up a new Nazi culture. Concerning re- ligious and racial intolerance, we all know how the churches were closed, public meetings forbidden, and Jews persecuted. You say This concerns only one half of the warg the Japanese didn't practice in- tolerance. Didn't they use racial intolerance to try to stir up the Filipinos against us with their Asia for Asiatics ? Were not the people of Japan compelled to have a Shinto shrine in their homes, be they Buddhist, Shintoist, or Confuscianist? The Zaibat- sun, the handful of industrial or business magnates who almost controlled Japan's actions, is a good example of social intoler- ance. Under political intolerance there was the Black Dragon Society which was looking for those who disagreed with the government policies. These examples have shown what in- tolerance can do to a country if practiced whole-heartedly, but even on a minor scale this evil has a very bad effect. The mid-western race riots last year ranked among the most shameful exhibi- tions in American history. Within days after the first riot, it seemed that every major city was having racial difficulties. Some sections even had to mobilize their state guards to quell the outbreaks. We have intolerance in governments, unions, and managementg but above all, we have it in ourselves. It is easy for us to place the blame for this lack of toler ance on larger groups, but we do not real- ize that we are the cause of intolerance in the larger groups. We must have toler- ance if we are to maintain the peace and security of the world, but intolerance will continue so long as it remains in the in- dividual. H. Baulch DESIGN FOR LIVING The immediate future cannot help but be an intensive period in the history of Olll' intricate world. As the events of yester- day are studied and compared by those who are alive today, so will the present events be pondered over by our descend- ents. Thus the far-reaching effects of our successes and failures upon the future will only be known in their true perspective by those who come after us. Our world can only be what we our- selves make it. Whether our country re- mains the strongest in the world, or wheth- er another country rises to claim the title we have lost is not important. Many na- tions have risen and fallen in the past, and the future, we may be certain, will prove the same. What really matters is the spirit in which we, as peoples of the world, meet the problems which confront us, and the wisdom with which our leaders solve our difficulties. If we are discontented and unsure of ourselves, such is human nature that we will listen to the unwise counsel of those who wish to use us and our coun- try for selfish and often wicked ends. As time goes on, new leaders will arise among us. It is up to us to understand exactly what these leaders plan and to give care- ful thought to all decisions. Only those with high ideals and ambi- tions should be allowed to guide us, for we have seen what destruction can be caused by misdirected energy and ambition. To each of us life is distinctly individ- ualized. Fate has taken us, as separate personalities, and placed each in a seem- ingly insignificant position. Separately, it is true, we are insignificant, for no man, however intelligent or powerful, can solve the problem of life alone. It is people col- lectively who make the world and have the power to control their destiny. We should have no fear of the straight, but often unpaved road that stretches end- ENGLISH CLUB lessly before us. Everyone of us, in the past, has been challenged by seemingly un- surmountable difficulties, which, having been conquered, have made us the stronger and given us a clearer insight into the meaning of life. We should believe that there are no problems too great for those who have learned to master previous ones with confidence. VVith thoughts like these we may ap- proach tomorrow with the greatest expec- tation that by using our talents to the best of our ability we shall safeguard tomor- row for all who follow us. Patricia Clarke Student Government The General Organization of Houlton High School was formed in June of 1945 when the student body ratified the consti- tution presented by a committee of stu- dents from all classes. The first student council, which has served faithfully and well this school year of 1945-46, was im- mediately elected. The officers Were: president, Roger Jackinsg vice-president, Richard Hatch: secretary, Clara Gartleyg junior members, Mary Skehan and Paul Millerg sophomore members, Cleo Boutil- ier and William Holdeng freshmen, Har- riet Bamford and Frank Totmang faculty advisers, Mrs. Fairley and Mr. Sharp. It is the duty of the council to promote closer cooperation between students and teachers, to carry out the demands and wishes of the student body to the best of its ability, and to do anything in its power to benefit the school. During the first year of its existence the council has undertaken a variety of activi- ties. The assembly committee with Cleo Boutilier as chairman arranged the sched- ule of assemblies for the year. The social committee with Mary Skehan as chairman planned the social events as well as direct- ly sponsoring two evening dances, two sun- light dances, and the dancing at recess to the juke box. The staff of reporters with Henry Baulch as chief sent news to the Pioneer Times each week. A committee with Billy Holden as chair- man has worked out a point system of awards so that those who serve the school in ways other than musical or athletics may receive recognition. A committee of Junior Boys, Richard Stanton and Melvin Hovey, has taken charge of the bulletin boards for the year. tContinued on Next Pagej l STUDENT COUNCIL All elections have been conducted by the council, as provided by a recent amend- ment. The council worked diligently to secure a recreation program for the youth of the community. As the council and the members of the G. O. gain experience, they will undoubted- ly be able to accomplish more and to take on greater responsibilities. C. Gartley Organizations Although the Honor Society, under the supervision of Mrs. Howe, hasn't been so active as it has been in preceding years, it is still one ot the most prominent organiza- tions of the school. Forty dollars has been earned, of which ten dollars was given to Mr. Lambert for the Red Cross. The offi- cers for the first semester were: president, Barbara Charlton, vice-president, Lois Tompkins: secretary, Vaughan Totmang treasurer, Thomas Martin. The officers elected for the second semester were: president, Barbara Charlton: vice-presi- dent, Lois Tompkinsg secretary, Vaughan Totmang vice president, Eleanor Haleyg secretary, Virginia Dickinson. In order to be a member of this club, one must have an average of ninety or over. The English Club, under the guidance of Miss Kennard, has again this year taken in many new members. The officers for the first semester were: president, Richard Hatch 3 vice-president, Madeline Dechaineg secretary, Virginia Dickinson. The second semester' they were: president, Richard Hatch: vice president, Thomas Martin, and secretary, Virginia Dickinson. The new members who came in .after mid-years were initiated after school, and all mem- bers enjoyed a supper prepared by the senior members and served in the Home Economics room. A junior must have an A for two consecutive quarters, and sen- iors must have a B to be accepted into the English Club. The Hi-Y Club, under its faculty advisor, Mr. Lambert, has twenty-five members. The requirements for this club are Q15 good scholarship, 123 .Christian character, and, 13,5 mga ethical standards. , The offi- cers are: president, Dick Hall: vice-presi- dent, Russell Taylor: secretary, Henry Baulchg treasurer, Vaughan Totmang chaplain, John Richards. The H-club this year consists of the out- standing athletes of the school. The offi- cers are: president, Jimmy McGatfing vice- president, Paul Millerg secretary, Henry Baulchg treasurer, George Pray. The Senior Red Cross, under the direc- tion of Miss Rowe, and the Junior Red Cross, under the direction of Miss Wallace, this year have taken the making and the sending of sunshine boxes as their project. These boxes are sent to schoolmates who are in the hospital. The Future Farmers of H. H. S. are part of a National Organization of boys study- ing ariculture. The boys, of whom there are about two hundred thousand in the nation, not only study in regular school classes but are also required to carry on farming programs outside of school sult- able to the part of the country where they live. The officers are: president, Fred Annettg vice-president, Melvin Hovey: secretary, Donald Sewallg treasurer, Carl Gray: faculty advisor, Mr. Wood. The boys again this year plan to plant several acres of potatoes. The Glee Club, a large group consisting of sixty-five of the H. H. S. girls, and the Girls' Chorus, consisting of sixteen girls, are under the able direction of Mrs. Arn- old. The snappy H. H. S. band this year with its black and white uniformed members is under the direction of Mr. Robinson. We all agree that H. H. S. would be lost with- out its band playing at assemblies and many other occasions. Barbara Charlton OUR CIRCUS IS BACK 4 V For the first time since 1942 H. H. S. has been able to have her annual circus. At the time that this article is being written the sale of tickets had far exceeded the ex- pectations of the office. Those hard to get articles like floor lamps, radios, and nylon stockings are being offered to the public as prizes. With scores of attrac- tions of every description not a dull moment is expected from the opening min- ute to the coronatlon of the Queen.

Let me introduce you to our teachers. We'll start with the junior high build- ing. Here in room 23 is Miss Tozier. She teaches math and English, and is a good dancer, too, the fellows tell me. Across the hall in room 24 is Miss Qualey. She's in charge of our library, and teaches Eng- llsh too. It must be rather discouraging trying to teach us to keep the books in order. Hear those machines screaming down stairs? That's Mr. Saunders' manual training class at work. He left us for a while to join the armed forces. It's awful- ly nice to have him back. This is Mr. Greaney's room. He was away for a while, too. We missed his pleasant smile. Let's go in and look at Miss Wallace's rocks and frogs. You'd never guess she teaches science. She's everybody's friend and not afraid of work. Now we'll go upstairs and see Mrs. Churchill, our dignified little math and science teacher. She doesn't have the heart to 'mark a. person late. In here in room 28 is Mrs. Hannon, who teaches math and English, and across the hall in room 27 Miss McLellan who teaches social science. We have just about time to go through the senior building if we hurry. There's Mr. Wood, our vice-principal. He teaches the fellows how to raise those famous. Aroostook potatoes. Down here in the gym, Mr. Terry rules. Right now he's working with the baseball team. Yummy, smell that. Miss Berce and Miss Rowe must be at work in the home ec. lab. Miss Rowe teaches biology, too. Speaking of biology, let's go upstairs and see the boys' biology teacher, Ken Sharp. He's as tall dark and handsome as ever. Across the way in room 13 we find Miss Wilson teach- ing bookkeeping. She sure is a whiz at red lines and figures. This is the guidance room where, to Mrs. Fairley, one so broad minded, our troubles we confide. Miss Bouchard is a new teacher. She is responsible for the great success of Young Mr. Standish and the speaking exhibitions. This is room 15 where Mrs.sHayes teaches the commercial students how to make those funny little crooksrand' curves and what- each one means. Through the glass partition you can see the typing room. That's Miss Black behind the desk. Her fairness to everyone we hold in high esteem. Ouch, get that awful odor coming from Dimples Wins- low's chemistry lab. He must be burning sulphur again. But just watch his smoke when he starts out with his track team. And this little room is Madame Greaves'. Do you like to sing in French? You'd better if you plan to attend her classes. This is Mrs. Terry's room. She teaches freshman and sophomore English, and do the kids think she's swell! Directly across the hall is Mrs. Perry, teacher of English and Latin. Let's go down and call on Mamma Fraser, the prim little lady who guides our social life. She also teaches 'math. Across the hall in room 6 is Miss Kennard, admir- ed for her wit and sense of humor grand. Nevertheless, just say this here or that there and see if you get by with it. This gentleman with the pretty curly hair and little mustache is Mr. Haggerty, a friend to all boys and girls. He very obllgingly came here to teach geometry and algebra when Mr. Bartlett had to leave because of illness. . You wouldn't know that that immacu- late gentleman coming from the superin- tendent's office was ever seen with pieall over his face, but he was. Hence his nick- name Pie. Yes, I mean Mr. Cumming. The lady standing in the doorway is his ever faithful secretary, Mrs. Fitzpatrick. No, the fire bell didn't ring. That's the way Mrs. Howe always walks to her sopho- more Ceasar class. We just musn't miss Kay. Take a peek at that beautiful ring on her left hand. It's new and we're afraid it means we might be losing her soon. Incidentally she teaches history and is she a good sport! But all the same, our history ranks sure got a. boost when Mrs. Judkins substituted for a week. Come into the office now and meet Mr. Lambert, our principal. He teaches geo- metry, trig., guns and fishing tackle. That little number at the desk is Winnie, par- don me, Mrs. Fortier, his secretary. There goes the bell, and I must hurry along before Mamma comes paging me. Be seeing you. Joyce Leavitt 1-1. 193, SENIOR PLAY CAST Senior Notes What has the class of '46 done while in Houlton High School? You mean you real- ly don't know? Well I'll tell you as many of the things as I can in this short space. We entered as freshmen in the fall of 1942 and were a little afraid of the upper classmen and the teachers. We soon over- came our fear of the teachers, and since then they haven't had a minute's peace while we were around. If we we1'en't throwing chalk, erasers, talking, whisper- ing. or just causing a rumpus, we were quietly passing notes and doing all the other things that annoy teachers. We be- gan early to occupy the majority of seats in detention hall, and we were able to hold them all through high school. We couldn't let any other class get ahead of us. No siree. - - VVe did settle down long enough our first year to elect the following class offi- cers: Oscar French, president: Nancy Hyde, vice-president: Roger Jackins, treasurer, and Joyce Leavitt, secretary. We became sophomores in 1943. Did we feel big? I'1l say!! We no longer had to go to the junior division assemblies: we now attended the senior division's. We were still looked down on and pushed 12 around by the upper classmen. We found ways to get back at them though, don't worry. We began to take our places in many of the school's activities. We were proud to have our musicians UD playing in the band and orchestra. We invaded other fields too. We even put on a speaking exhibition. It wasn't too bad, either. Then, believe it or not, we were juniors. Yes, sir, we were really growing up. Only the seniors were above us, but we were sure we were as good as they were. Were we? Naturally. fahemj This was the year when we could join the English Club and the Honor Society, provided, of course, if we had the rank. Many of our classmates made these organ- izations too. Other clubs allowed us to become members also. We put on another speaking exhibition too. It was as good as the one the previous year, if not better. Then we were seniors, honest to good- ness seniors. We had quieted down a trifle, but we were still the noisiest class in school and still had a majority in de- tention hall, with Al as the party leader. Our Senior Play, Young Mr. Standish , coached by Miss Bouchard, was a. big suc- cess, even if everybody had begun to won- fContinued on Next Page? JUNIOR DIVISION BAND der if it was ever going to be presented. It was postponed a number of times, but it was worth waiting for, wasn't it? Our class had its share of stars on the basketball team including John Richards, Eldaige St. Peter, Keith Antworth, George Pray, and last but not least, Dick Hall. We had a lot of fun initiating the new members into the various clubs. - There were seventeen of our classmates in the band. We had a good representa- tion in the orchestra and glee club also. We held elections again this year ani chose the following class officers: Eldaige St. Peter, president: Clara Gartley, vice- presidentg Francis Nason, treasurer: and Joyce Leavitt, secretary. Barbara Charlton was elected as our D. A. R. candidate. We hope she gets to Washington. She deserves to. Under the leadership of Henry Baulch, Jean Lambert and George Pray, this year's Curtis Campaign was the most successful one ever to be conducted in Houlton High School. These are a few of the things we have done during our stay at H. H. S. Many of these would have been impossib'le without the help and guidance of our teachers. I know I speak for the whole class when I say we couldn't have asked for better teachers or a finer principal than Mr. Lambert. We say goodbye to everyone who re- mains here and wish every teacher and student all the best of luck. Lois Barton Junior Notes The class of '47 can now be counted among the Jolly Juniors, and we are still doing our part to keep detention hall open. Although our junior rooms didn't hap- pen to be prize rooms in the Curtis Cam- paign, they added greatly to the grand total. We are proud to announce that Lois T. is the junior candidate for Circus Queen. Mary S. seems to just love to study geo- metry lately. Ask Jimmie W., maybe he could tell us why. There have been many upstarts of new romances: 0the1's have faded out: others are still going strong. fGood Luck-Dick and Jackiej. Carl and Mary are still hold- ing hands too. There is a large representation of the junior class in many organizations such. as: Basketball Team, Honor Society, Eng- lish Club, Hi-Y Club, H-Club, band, or- tContinued on Next Page! chestra, glee club, girls' chorus. The musi- cal organizations are all looking forward to a trip to the music festival held in Mil- linocket. Anyone interested in securing detailed information about this ask Jean- nette B, because she is too. The new class officers who have recent- ly been elected are: president, Nathan Rush, vice-president, Mary Skehan-Q secre- tary, Lois Tompkins: treasurer, Paul Miller. Our class rings, although they have been ordered for some time, haven't come, but we are still expecting them. It's fun being juniors, and we hope it will be as much fun being seniors next year. D. M. B. Sophomore Notes Well, by now the class of '48 has its feet firmly placed on the floors of I-I. H. S. and feels itself quite grown up, despite state- ments of the teachers to the contrary. The sophomore class has some fine ath- letes, but I hear that the best is Martin Smith. Right up there too are David Har- bison, Buddy Larson, Bradford Scott, and Donald Peabody. Keep your eyes on those boys: they'll be our stars soon. We have been pretty., busy this year with elections. Billy Holden and Cleo Bou- tilier represent us on the ,Student Councilg Janice Rand was our candidate for Circus queen, while class officers are: Buddy Lar- son, presidentg Judi Never , vice presi- dent: Wendall Peabody, secretaryg and Martin Smith, treasurer. A great many members of the band, or- chestra and glee club are sophomores. In fact, it's a question of where those organ- izations would be without us. We are always one of the top contribut- ors to the Honor Roll with the longest list of Honor students in the Senior Division. In the Curtis Campaign the occupants of Home Room 13 left the rest of the school far behind. Led by Phil Kenney and David Harbison they chalked up an admir- able record. Room 17 was the second room to be one hundred percent. Cupid doesn't seem to be very busy this year. However, many sophomore girls are smitten with the senior boys. How about lt, sophomore boys, are you going to let this keep up? Yes, it has been a busy year for the Class of '48, but we've loved every fun- packed minute of it. A. K. H. Freshman Notes Hello, Freshmen. Well, here's another year almost over and a fine one it's been. I think that about the busiest person in our class has been Ralph Tozier. Our elected representatives on the Stu- dent Council were Harriet Bamford and Frank Totman. The nominees for the freshman class president were: Billy Hyde and Frank Totman. There was quite a bit of competi- tion, but Billy won out. The other offi- cers were as follows: vice-president, Har- riet Bamford: secretary, Amy L. Tomp- kins: treasurer, Barbara York, and our faculty advisor was Mrs. Perry. Our Casanova this year was, I be- lieve, Wendell Wink Beaulieu. How the girls do go for him! Did I hear someone say Huba, Huba? There have been a lot of freshmen add- ed to the Varsity Band this year. Con- gratulations Kids! We seem to have two comedians in our class, Cedric Good and Charles Johnston. Well, that's all the news for now. So long until another year. A. Merrill , FACTS ABOUT I-IOULTON HIGH H. H. S. is the only school in the State of Maine that has won a major national championship. Our cross-country team under the coaching of Clyde Stinson won the national cross-country title on Thanks- giving morning 1930, at Newark, New Jer- sey. July 4, 1922, Houlton High defeated Portland High 4-2 in a baseball playoff for the state championship.

Although the boys were eager to play ball and the hopes that we might have a win- ning season were high, prospects for a successful season were very low. Pray and Hall were the only returning lettermen from last year's outfit and from this inex- perienced group Houlton had to choose a team that was to stack up against some of the best clubs of the state. Toward the end of the season, the starting line-up was shifted to make room for some promising sophomores and juniors who would lead next yea1 s team. The Shiretowners started off fast at the beginning of the season against small school teams, but when they came up against such veteran teams as Stearns, Fort Fairfield, Caribou, and Presque Isle, lack of experience and weak reserve strength proved to be the Shiretowner's downfall. The line-up was constantly changing in an effort to fill places of injured players and to develop a smooth combination: however, in the league games, Houlton started Smith and Richards at forwards, Antworth at center, Putnam and Captain Hall at guards. In the scoring, Putnam was high man for the season with a total of 114 points, and Smith with 110 and Pray 108 took second and third places. ,sa- 'fspmjj The Junior Varsity, composed of Lar- son and Harbison at forwards, Rush at center and Miller and Scott at the guard positions, was ranked as one of the finest J. V. combinations in the state. The J. V's. marked up wins against such teams as the Presque Isle J.V's., Caribou J.V's. and Ft. Fairfield J. V's. The junior shiretown- er's only loss came at the expense of a Ft. Fairfield club that was fortified with players f1'om the first string varsity. Next year will probably be another building year for Houlton, but the oppon- ents better keep an eye on the 1947-48 edition of the Shiretowners who are only sophomores. This class holds such boys as Martin Smith, who played varsity ball this year and Harbison, Larson and Scott who played stellar ball on the J. V's. The Junior Division team was compos- ed of Currier and Daniels at forward, Tozier in the center slot and Stanton and Faulkner in the guard position. The boys had a fair record of winning 3 and losing 4. Only two outside teams were played, Island Falls Junior High a11d Woodstock freshmen. Varsity Schedule H. H. S.

After the regular season, which Presque Isle 46 didn't turn out too badly, Coach Terry or- --. ganized an intra-mural basketball pro- 692 gram.

VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM JUNIOR VARSITY TEAM The first leg of the tournament was won by the Slingers who eliminated four teams. The second leg of the tournament was won by the Serpents who, like the Slingers, eliminated four teams. The playoff was between the winners of the two legs: the Serpents and the Slingers. The result . . . one of the best games of the entire tournament. The Ser- pents defeated the Slingers by a score of 17-16. Thus, the Serpents copped the title of Intra-Mural Champs of 1946. As a whole, the intra-mural program should prove to be a g1'eat help in organ- izing and maintaining Houlton High's win- ning teams of the future. TRACK For the first time in years Aroostook County will hold competitive track meets. Under the competent coaching of Mr. Winslow and Mr. Wood, this year's track team should p1'ove to be good. Last year Houlton placed high in the Presque Isle track meet. This meet was informal, however, and no titles were giv- en. Hardly anyone was lost to the track team last spring, leaving practically the same squad for 1946. The track squad started training late in March: therefore the boys should be in pretty good condition for their first meet. 39 The county track meet will be held here in Houlton this year and . . . well, who knows? Anything can happen, and it prob- ably will. BASEBALL Coach Terry has about 35 candidates out for spring baseball practice. The un- usual warm spell in March made it possi- ble for practice to be conducted out-of- doors, but since the recent snow and rain storms, battery practice is held daily in the gymnasium. The Shiretowners will be at a great disadvantage in stacking up against other Aroostook League teams, most of whom had baseball squads last year. The schedule opens May 3 when Houlton meets Hodgdon High. All of the games of the schedule are with Aroostook League opponents except the opener with Hodgdon. The 1946 baseball schedule is as follows: May Hodgdon May A. C. I. May at Fort Fairfield May Open May Caribou May Presque Isle May at A. C. I. May Fort Fairfield May Open June at Caribou June at Presque Isle The Inkwell Hello there Mr. and Mrs. Houlton High School. Here is your gossip-getter, Alta Squinchell, back again this year to tell you about all the little goings-on around school. Speaking of getting around, Anson Taber certainly does. Say, if there is a girl in H. H. S. whom Anson hasn't asked for a date or at least taken home, I'd like to meet the girl. She must be a cross be- tween Eleanor Roosevelt and Cass Daley. The first prize for character, personal- ity, and looks, plus honors in dramatics, ranks and writing should go to Barbie Charlton. The senior class should be very proud of its protegee. Not only is she pop- ular with the girls but notice sometimes the light in her eyes when someone men- tions Canada and Harrison McCain. While we are on the subject of nice peo- ple, Margaret Duffy certainly is on the ball. And it looks like Stevie Greenlaw thinks so, too. He just loves to put the window up in history class just to make Duff ask him to put it down. It's too bad, girls, I'm really sorry, but I guess our Moose Hall has finally pick- ed his girl. Well, Moose, we tried anyway. Congratulations to Joan Green on defeat- ing us. WANTED: NEEDED: and LONGED FOR: One man, any man, only he must be 5'10 , dark, and handsome. Anyone know- ing the where-abouts of such article please inform Betty Landers of such. Flash!! My, how Johnny Mitchell did give the girls at H. H. S. a jump. You're so cute, Johnny. What Happened? Did they all find out about your hobbies???? The sophomore boys are doing all right for themselves. Between Emerson Joy, Joe Moreshead, Billy Holden, and Phil Mc- Carthy, they keep all the young hearts beating fast. But, I think Brad Scott should take the cake. First it is Jackie Clifford he has out, and the very next day he is dancing with Judy Little. Take it easy, Brad, you can lose as many as you can gain that way. Speaking of sophomores Joyce Connors could be the pin-up girl for the whole school, and Freshman Gloria Mclntire is right up there with her. Someone really ought to open Joyce Leavitt's eyes to the fact that if she'd only stop trying to get all the men in H. I-I. S., she might get one. Looks like Lawrence has kinda stepped out. What happened, Joyce? Lawrence is pretty cute, isn't he gals? At least Gloria Mclntire will agree with me there. There are still a few girls who are being true to their guys. Joyce seems to be stick- ing to Bob McCormack, and except for just a little stepping out, Lois Barton is being true to Cecil. That's okay, Lois, I'll bet a guy as sweet as Cecil doesn't just sit on his hammock and read!!! Ah, and speaking of true love affairs, Jackie Hall and Dick Russell just couldn't be anything else. They are with each oth- er all the time, and just guess what he gives her at the end of every recess so that she won't forget him? ??? Speaking of variety Qand who was??J Virginia Dickinson, the so-called ANGEL of 46 seems to go for it in a. big way. ' She has her hook in the river for-let me see-Georgie, Kenneth, a. cou- ple of Johns, who are supposedly some re- lation, and a Donald. How's the fishing, Virginia?????? That's a cute little chick Paul Miller goes with. He isn't bad either, is he girls??? Here is the 564. question! ll Can anyone tell us what makes Beth Judklns go through the corridors without speaking to anyone? What happened, Bethie, did you lose all faith in the world when something broke up one of your love affairs? There are lots of other nice people in the world. How about giving us another chance and smile. Well, well, so Judy is after Bob Smith again. Maybe they will make a go of it this trip. Good luck, Judy. Love Thy Neighbor , the command- ment sayhs, and Pat Clarke, Gene Mann, and Beverly Phelps certainly obey that one, especially when the neighbors are from Woodstock. Right, girls?? Say, Jeanette McNair, just what's going on here? You wouldn't step out on the NAVY, would you? Oh, you would? Well, looking guy and Dave Daley isn't av bad you've got to keep that morale up some- how, I suppose. I thought that Carl were getting along fine until I saw Carl 40 and Mary Spain JUNIOR DIVISION BASKETBALL with his nose looking kinda beat up. What happened, Mary? Did he get fresh?'??? Oooh! That lucky Jean Lambert. Im- agine having two men and just saying, Shall I go out with Dick or Roger? And the boys aren't enemies, either. They con- sider it just a friendly race with a pot of gold as the prize. And Jean certainly is a pot of gold. I thought we'd really see fire works when Gordon Barton came home, but Vaughan seemed to win out. What hap- pened, Nancy? We thought you wanted the both of them. Maybe Jean L. could give you some lessons in keeping two at the same time. The Ink Well has run dry folks, so that's all for this year, but I'lI be back next year with a whole well full of ink and raring to go. Until then, I remain your Walter Winchell of the North Star.

Put- ' 118.111 42 'P A IREEEWM A DAY YVITI-I JO The sun came streaming through the window as I turned over, opened one brown eye, and went back to sleep. Back to sleep? Suddenly I remembered that it would be impossible to go back to sleep this morning. I had a job to do. Jumping over the side of my wicker bed and rushing from behind the stove, I sud- denly put on my breaks. But, alas, it was too late!! I skidded head-long into Jeep, the black cat of the household. As she made a pass at my nose and, thank good- ness, missed, I tumbled head over heels trying to get up stairs. Finally reaching the room I was seek- ing, I tried four times to make the bed without succeeding. This annoyed me very much as Jeep could always do it in one. Backing way up, I practically flew over the top!-and landed on the other side. At long last the feat was accomplish- ed, and I walked between the tiny blanket hills up to a face. Well, it really was only a nose. After cuffing it and blowing on it, I gently took it between my small, sharp teeth and bit. The entire bed jumped. Oh, Jo go 'way, muttered a voice from the depth. I want to sleep. Bow ruff, I answered angrily, know- ing my master had to get up. X It seemed forever before he finally be- came convinced he should move. Reach- ing one arm out, he gently scratched- just where a feller likes it most--behind my long ear. Jo, you're awfully hard to leave, he said. Those black ears and hair and brown eyes are so foolish lookin'! Even your feet and neck are too big for a little guy like you. I nestled for the last time against my master. Such things are hard on a feller, and two big tears appeared in the corner of my eyes. While Johnny dressed, I lay there thinking of the fun we'd had. He thought I was asleep: and when at last he closed the large suit case, he picked me up and carried me down stairs. My mistress, Johnnie's mother, gave me my favorite breakfast, but who can eat when your pal goes away? If only I weren't so small, I could go, too. Only Johnny once told me he wanted me home when he came back. It was a hard good-by. They said I couldn't go with them, and those foolish tears came again. Johnny picked me up and suddenly pushed me into a. big chair in the kitchen, walked swiftly to the door, slammed it shut and was gone. I wonder why he was angry. During the morning there was little to do. I chased a few chickens and went out to the apple orchard, but it wasn't the same. It wasn't Johnnie's voice out in the field, and it wasn't Johnnie's jacket on the hook. I rolled in the new hay and sud- denly, quick as a flash, it came to me. I'd go to Johnny. Then I lay down again and put both paws over my eyes. Johnny wanted me to stay at home. Dinner was good and after eating my fill-twice-I jumped up in the big chair only to find that stupid cat there. Well, I soon got rid of her and went to sleep. The sun was streaming in through the windows on the west side when I awoke fContinued on Next Pagel 43 and in the living room my mistress was talking-to whom? I jumped down and raced as fast as my short legs would carry me for a certain chair by a certain radio. Well, Jo, you didn't even hear me come back, did you? Johnnie's voice thunder- ed. What a sweet sound to my ears. Jump- ing up in his lap, I grabbed at his nose, ears, anything to show him how I didn't ever want him to go away again. Not ever. I only came back, he continued sadly, because you looked so down hearted, Jo. You may be small, but you certainly get under a guy's skin. When I thought of those eyes and how sad they were, I got off at the next station. You're so darn cute I couldn't even wake you when I came back. All the time he was talking, Johnny was scratching behind my ear. Our rendezvous soon came to an end though. Come, Johnny, you have to go now. The Navy wont wait and you have to see Mary for just a few minutes in Plains- field. 1 don't understand why you'd give up two or three hours with her just to come back to see Jo, she commented. We knew. Then he was gone again, but the loneliness went too. I knew he was really my pal. After supper, I went for a stroll. The chickens flew as I walked by, but there were more important things on my mind just then. I wandered out to the mail box and sat down thinking. Over in the or- chard, the sun turned pink and purple clouds into grey and finally black night. A few gold stars appeared, the wind grew cold, and I finally raced for the house. Crashing through my own little low door which swung on hinges and which Johnny had built for me, I headed pell mell for up-stairs, made the bed in one jump and cuddled up on the pillow. The bed may be empty, I thought, but as least I'm Johnnie's best pal. And after giving the pillow a lap, I fell asleep dreaming of Johnnie's being pres- ented the Navy Cross.

American Citizen tGold-Starred! Judi Nevers Nig'Ilflllill'l' I had bee11 sitti11g with my history hook opened before me for two hours. Cleve- land, Harrison, and McKinley were whirl- i11g around through 1ny much confused 111i11d. Suddenly, a warm drowsy feeling seemed to envelop IIIQ. It was such a beautiful castle. and as I slowly walked up the mossy path, I noticed a strange sort of tree stretching its bare arms skyward. Not only did the tree at- tract 1ny attention, hut there were two 111isty figures who seemed to be in con- versation sitting Illldf-'I' it. As I drew near- er, I recognized Miss Kennard as being one of the figures. The other figure. a strange so1't of man wit11 a long flowing beard. was dressed like a monk. As I drew closer, he said something to Miss Kennard. I tl1i11k that tl1ou wilt, fi11d these Eng- lish notes complete. If thou wish to dic- tate more to thine English class of 12A, I wilt be able to supply more information, he said i11 a slow. shakey voice. tContinued o11 Next, Pagel 0 VARSITY BAND Thank you so much, Mr. Chaucer, re- plied Miss Kennard smiling with satisfac- tion. Of course I was much surprised to see Miss Kennard and my old friend Chau- cer. I started to speak to them, but as I approached, I heard someone screeching to the top of his lungs, Come on Miller! I looked up, and there, in a pink, fluffy, doughnut-shaped cloud, Hank Baulch and Paul Miller were running like streaks of lightening. I thought that this must be the track meet and was assured of the fact when I looked up and saw Mr. Winslow calmly sailing by on an invisible cloud of helium. In one hand he held a bottle of carbon dioxide, and in tl1e other he held a test tube of lime water. He was saying to Mary Spain, who was very much inter- ested in the runners, And now, Miss Spain, can you tell me the test for carbon dioxide? , I tried to call to them, but two strong voices drowned me out. I ran to the edge of a cliff which overlooked the Mediterran- ean Sea, and there in a Corsican ship, I re- cognized Mrs. Greaves and Dick Hatch standing on the deck, their voices raised in the musical notes of Alouette . Miss Lancaster was at the wheel of the. ship. She called in a strong voice to Mr. Sharp who was in the crow's-nest, Have you spotted Columbus yet? No-o-oo-o, shouted Mr. Sharp. He said that he would follow us in the Santa Maria, explained Miss Lanca ter. Look yonder! There are two Indians now! shouted Mr. Sharp. I turned at once and expected to be seized by Indians. But, to my relief, I re- cognized Miss Bouchard and Mr. Haggerty, who were slowly making their way togeth- er across the drawbridge of the castle. I started running and called to them. They apparently didn't hear me. When I came within hearing distance, I immedi- ately discovered that they were in an ar- gument. I tell you that if that play is postpon- ed once more, we'll have to call it 0ld Mr. Standish yelled Mr. Haggerty. We 'won't! John Mitchell is still young, shouted Miss Bouchard. Oh, no, he isn't, corrected Mr. Hag- gerty. Just look up there. I looked up at the place to which he pointed, and there, stooping with age and with white hair flowing over his should- ers, was Johnnie. - Don't make a sound when you come in, John called down to them in a crack- ed voice. A I followed Miss Bouchard and Mr. Hag- gerty through the great wooden door. We found ourselves in a dark, dreary passage- way. We walked down the hall and came to a door with a large number 7 on it. Within could be heard a soft humming. I pushed the creaking door open, and there sat Mrs. Fraser, and in her arms was Al Astle fast asleep. A faint glow of light formed around his head like a halo. The angel of Room 7, said Mrs. Fras- er, continuing to rock and hum. I softly closed the door and was taken much by surprise when I heard a series of low pitiful groans coming from farther down the hall. I hurried down the passage, and, there to my horror, I saw that Mr. Terry was putting poor Mr. Lambert through the ex- ercises that he loves so well to give to us girls in gym. Now, Mr. Lambert, do twenty-squat- thrusts, calmly said Mr. Terry. Oh, but I can't ,. complained Mr. Lam- bert. The boys at the Rotary Club won't know me if I lose any more pounds. Mr. Lambert was saved when a piercing blast from a trumpet rang through the hall. What's that? exclaimed Mr. Terry. That's old Saint Peter at the gate of Heaven summoning St. Peter, Junior, explained Mr. Lambert. We looked down the hall, and there, with his hand in Mrs. Fairley's came St. Peter. She is going to keep him on the straight and narrow path until he reaches his destination, said Mr. Lambert. Suddenly, I was lifted in a cloud and carried far out over the sea. When I open- ed my eyes, was I relieved to find that I had been sleeping with my head on my history book! ' Barbara Charlton V 1 IT'S ALL IN A DAY rBang went the screen door! Willie',', a woman's voice called. Willie Robbins, you come right back here and shut that door quietly. Willie, a tanned lanky boy of about sev- enteen, lumbered back into the kitchen, grumbling, Aw gee, Ma, Joe and me are going fishin' this morning, and we wanta. get started early. His mother looked at him for a moment, hesitating before she said, You'll have to take your sister with you, Willie, because I'm going to busy today. Willie howled and threw himself into a chair sputtering, Aw gee, Ma, we've been planning this trip since Wednesday, and now you've got to spoil everything. I wouldn't mind so much if she wasn't a girl, and especially if she wasn't the brat she is, but jeepers, Ma, she is. At that very opportune moment, ten year old Judy Robbins strolled into the kitchen. She smiled sweetly at her mother, saying, I can go with Willie, can't I mother? Can't I? Willie glowered at her fiercely for a mo- ment and then looked imploringly at his mother, pleading, Just this once, Ma. Please? Even before he finished he knew what the answer would be, so he grabbed his fishing tackle and bolted out the door with Judy running after him. ,He clambered into an old Ford, threw the fishing tackle in the dirty back seat, and pushed Judy in on top of it. The car started with a leap and rattle and then cbugged down the dusty road. Willie stop- ped the car in front of Joe's house and nolsily houked the horn. Joe came run- ning out of the back door, and at his first glimpse of Judy stood dead still. Is she goin' with us? he demanded, looking helplessly at Willie. He made no effort to conceal his disappointment as Willie slowly nodded. Growling to him- self, he threw the fishing tackle in on top of Judy and climbed in beside Wlllie. iThey drove for about a half-hour when 'illie turned down an overgrown road afd stopped beside the river. Willie and Joe jumped out of the car and patiently sat trying toxuntangle the fishing lines, wthich Judy had managed to knot up. Judy began to beg them to let her fish, but Willie only nodded his head, desper- ately trying to untie a stubborn knot. As Judy began to cry, Willie remembered his promise to his mother to take care of his and grudgingly set about younger sister cutting down a stick to the size of a fish- ing pole. When he had finished putting the string on it, he handed it to her, saying You go over there, as he pointed to a spot far be- yond them, It's near enough for us to see you and far enough away so you can't bother us. .Toe smirked at her woebegone face and called after her, Don't catch all the fish, leave some for us. He and Willie both laughed at this bit of wit and settled themselves against a rock, with the lines lazily dangling in the water. The hot sun poured down on them until the heat became almost unbearable. Joe groaned and turned to look at Wil- lie, whose face was a vivid crimson. I thought you said this was a swell place to fish, huh! Willie didn't even bother to look at him but just slouched down further and ignored him completely. They sat in sil- ence for a while longer until Joe jumped up slapping his neck. Bugs, bugs, he cried, The bugs are bitin', but the fish aren't. By this time Joe was almost completely disgusted and suggested eating. This last statement brought results from Willie, and they both started towards the car. Willie reached it first and began to search among the junk in the back seat. I'm sure I put it in here, he mumbled to himself as Joe came towards him. Gee, said Joe, I'm starved, Well, where's the food? Willie looked at Joe for a moment and suddenly yelped, Where's Judy? She's probably eaten it all. They both looked towards the spot where Judy had been, but she was gone. Willie couldn't believe his eyes and just stood there and blinked. Where could she go? he questioned Joe, Where could she go? lContinued on Next Pagej k. 48 Joe threw his hands in the air and groaned. Trouble, trouble, thatfs all there is when you drag that kid sister of yours along. Do you .... do you suppose sheic-ould have drowned? gulped NVillie. Nah, no such luck, murmured Joe. saying the latter very low, for even he had to admit to himself that he was a little worried. They searelu-d everywliere but still no Judy was to be i'ound. Finally after about an hour's search they headed towards a clump of trees to rest. As they approached it, they both stopped horrified at what they saw. For under the largest t1'ee lay Judy. her hands and face covered with blood. She's dead, st-reamed VVillie, She's dead, and it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so mean to her, all this would never have happened. Suddenly an idea struck him, Everyone will think we killed her. But Joe wasn't listening to Willie. He was looking under a clump of bushes where an empty catsup bottle lay. Then he went over and grabbed Judy by the arm and promptly shook her. When VVillie saw Judy's eyes fly open, his own nearly pop- ped out of his head. 'tYou mean to say, you're not hurt at all? he questioned, obviously quite re- lieved. Judy mischievously looked at him be- fore explaining, 1 just wanted to put some excitement in the day. Joe and Willie looked at each other say- ing, You sure did. kiddo. You sure did. ll.

Beth Judkins VARSITY ORCHESTRA 49 HOMECOMING The snappy October wind whistled around the corner of the familiar old sta- tion house of Shelley. Inside sat a very attractive young woman, staring blankly at the wall of the timetables. Howdy, M's. Williams, greeted the station master as he appeared behind the barred window. Mighty cold day for Octo- ber, aln't she? Hello, Mr. Jackson. Yes, it is cold for this time of year. How have you been feeling lately? And how's Mrs. Jackson? Oh, me. I'm jist as spry as I ever was 'ceptln for me sore arm that never hurts no more. But now the Missus, well, she ain't so good. She's a claimin' it to work- in' too hard, but I jist don't think . . . Suddenly the shrill whistle of the train pierced Cynthia's ears, and she heard no more of what Mr. Jackson was saying. This moment, this very moment, was the moment she had been dreading for so long. And when he stepped on the platform and she was again ln his arms, what would she say, what would he say, and what then would happen? A thousand words stabbed at her mind, but nothing seemed to sound like her, the Cynthia Bob had left three years ago. As she stood on the platform, the engine roared by, and the wind tossed her auburn curls about. Bob, yes, that was Bob coming down the steps behind that elderly lady. Running to him, she knocked a suitcase to one side but could not stop even to apologize. The next minute she was in Bob's arms. Oh, Bob, Bob, she was half sobbing which was all she could do because of her excitement. After a moment or two they started to- ward the parking lot arm in arm with Bob greeting some old friends. As they rounded the corner of the sta- not that could you tion, Bob gasped, Cynthia, thing. I-low could you? How keep it going until I got home? this time Cynthia just laughed as by they had reached and were climbing into their favorite old jalopy. I thought you were going to sell it, continued Bob. Oh, I was, but, gee, I would have been so lonesome in a new car. I couldn't have driven with everything quiet and smooth. Well, here goes, come on Trail Blazer , he said looking at the jalopy which he had named thus, because he never knew where the thing would go. After a short ride they left Trail Blazer in front of their small white house. As they started up the walk, Bob with his arm around Cynthia, he stopped and star- ed at everything around for a moment. Home, he breathed and Cynthia knew how much it meant to him. Turning the key and opening the door, they entered. Bob then investigated every room only to find everything as he had left it. This was the wife and home he's dream- ed about so many nights in the filthy fox- holes of the Pacific Islands. After a little while of talking and rem- iniscing, Bob asked, Say, how about some of your good cooking, Honey? 'Course it won't be as good as the favorite old K ra- tions, he continued with the same old twinkle in his eye. With this he ascended the stairs two at a time to wash up, while Cynthia went to the kitchen to prepare a lunch. Here by herself she had time to think for a few moments. Why it wasn't bad at all, the meeting I mean, she was saying to her- self. Dear old Bob's just the same and we're going to have so much fun. Now let's see. Where's the butter and . . . Cynthia Where's my red plaid shirt? shouted Bob. In the bottom drawer of your bureau, she called back to him. Before long he was in the kitchen and at his familiar place across the bright red table in the little nook in the corner. I received a letter from Mother Wil- Hams this morning. She's expecting us to- morrow afternoon for a visit. Bob, we can go in Trail Blazer can't we? she asked. We sure will, answered Bob. I don't want to have to ride on any more trains. What time do we leave? Oh, about eight I guess. We can have dinner iir Lingsbury at the little Italian restaurant. After they finished the dishes, Bob dry- ing as usual, they went into the living room and spent the rest of the evening as one might expect. Next morning after hreakfasting Bob loaded suitcases in the back of Trail Blaz- er, and soon they whizzed down the road in the midst of happiness. Mary Shaw VISITING THE VVORLD BELOW I yawned, looked at the clock, then turned back to my Virgil. My mother's voice, sharp and clear, suddenly pierced my ears. Marjorie, it's ten o'clock3 will you go to bed'. As soon as I finish this page, I an- swered sleepily. As I began to read again, the lines blurred and vanished entirely. Then I had the sensation of falling, fall- ing- The way through Pluto's realms was like the earth's dreary woodlands when Jove had mantled all his heaven in shade and night had sealed up the beauty of the world. ' A shadowy elm stood in the middle court, spreading its ancient branches, and visions haunted and clung to its leaves. Then came strange prodigies of beasts, the centaurs, stables, and double shapes like Scylla. From here a way led to the Tartaron stream of Acheron, whose fierce torrent dlsgorged the neighboring sands. Charon, a ferry-man of gruesome guise kept watch upon these watersg this man with an un- kempt, gray beard, starring eyes of flame, stained and knotted clothing, falling from his shoulders, guides his craft with a pole and ferries the dead in his black boat. There streams to these shores a multi- tude - husbands and wives, fair virgins and youths: this throng is as numberless as the leaves that fall in the early frost of autumn. By this shore all stand be- seeching to begin their voyage across the Stygian stream. Many haunt and roam the shores for years until they win their passage. Across the Styx, Cerberus, a triple- throated monster, makes all the land ring with his roars. He lies full length in his cave with serpents writhing around his neck. From a distance comes the sound of sobs, and lisping cries of babes whom Dark Fate has taken from their mothers and plunged in the bitterness of Death. On every side lie the Fields of Sorrow. All tho e who wasted away ruthless love wan- der in unseen paths or in the gloom of a dark grove: they do not forget their grief even in death. One might sun find 'ry- rean Dido, her wound unhealed, roaming through a mighty wood. Next on the leftward cliff stands a mighty wall that not even the gods can overpower. Here Tisiphone, forever sleepless, guards the entering way. From inside, groans, fierce cracks of lashes, and trailing chains sound forth. Tityos lies stretched over nine hills: a. huge vulture tears at his immortal side with a hooked beak and makes his home on the Titan man. This monster gives no rest to the new born flesh. In a. prison house awaiting doom are men who hated their brothers, fathers, or tricked a. friend: and those who hoarded riches without sharing with their kin. Here are slain adulterers. 'Some roll huge boulders: some hang on wheels, lashed to the whirling spokes. Theseus sits here never to rise. One could never tell all the various shapes of sin or call by name the myriads on myriads of punishment they bear. Beyond are the arching doors of Cy- clops, where one who makes a trip through P1uto's realms, pays tribute. From here on, one's journey lays in a de- lectable land through joyous woods and fertile lawns. Immortal athletes play on the smooth green grass and dance on the dry sands. There l no fixed abode: all the shapes joyously roam at their will in shadowy groves, on flowery -banks, or in fresh meadows. Over a grassy slope lies another pleas- ant land, where trees are whispering, and the river Lethe flows forever. At this river all quaff long oblivion. Throngs move about waiting to be reincarnated. In Elysian each man is free, and he abldes here until time takes all taint away. Fin- ally, when the mlllennial aeon strikes, the gods call them forth to the Lethaean stream, here, all oblivious, they behold the heavens and return to shapes of flesh. Then a way through spacious fields of air beckoned me and pushed me gently through Sleep's ivory portal to the World Above. Marjorie, Marjorie! It's eleven o'clock. Go to bed. Yes, Mom, as soon as I finish this page. P. Clarke 51 THE CRITICS WERE RIGHT When Eric awoke, he saw the sunbeams bounce joyfully off the window sills and dance merrily about the room. An almost imperceptible sardonic smile crossed his striking face. He arose, put on his dress- ing robe and looked out the especially built, wide, spacious window. What a glorious day it was! The sky was of the deep, rich, blue that only makes its ap- pearance in a summer month and the bil- lowy clouds were as white as new snow. Eric laughed ruefully. He knew he should go down for breakfast. He had heard his wife descend long ago, fearfully, as if she were afraid she would awaken him. He went to the top of the stairway and hesitated a moment. He made an impres- sive picture, standing there motionless with one hand resting on the antique, hand-carved railing. He had rather long white hair which contrasted startlingly with his dark eyebrows. His intelligent, piercing, blue-eyes were deep set and his chin firm and strong. He was tall and had the robust physique of one who takes his pleasures in the great outdoors. Eric descended the stairs in a slow, methodical, stately style. His wife called from the terrace, Is that you, Eric? Come out here and have a cup of coffee. It's such a lovely day. Eric immediately demanded, Well, what did the critics have to say today? NO! Don't tell me. I know. Eric Van Cott, one of the greatest pianists of all times, is a has-been. He has lost his touch. Eric, interrupted his wife, what would you like for breakfast? Martha made some wonderful ..... Damn the critics, shouted Eric un- aware of his wife's remarks. He rushed into the house and sat down before the grand piano that never had been played by any other hands except his. The critics were wrong. Why he was as good as ever. Well, maybe he did have an off night or two but that was all. They said he couldn't take it any longer. Playing was too much of a nervous strain. Why that was funny. Very funny .... He began, gently at first, the music al- most laughed. Then it became intense . . . violent . . . The whole house vibrated. The music rang in the air and gave life to in- animate objects. Eric's wife was paralyzed. He had nev- er played like this . It was mad . . . mag- nificent . . . awesome. Then she heard a terrible discord that sounded like a scream from the depths of a soul in hell. She knew instinctively what had happened. The critics were right. Beverly Phelps -- GIRLS' GLEE CLUB 52 IQ March 13, 1946 Dear Becky: I I've only got a few minutes to dash off this letter to you, but I've got the most ex- citing news to tell.-You'll never guess! It's the most wonderful thing that's ever happened! Honestly, it is! Well, anyway, to get around to the subject, do you re- member last year when you lived here how we kept wishing some cute new boys would move here? You know, somebody new and exciting like-well, like Van Johnson or even Harry James. Well, Becky it's happened! ! It really has, and he's simply adorable! Gosh, Becky, every girl in school is swoonlng over him and why not? He's got everything--looks, per- sonality, charm--just everything! He's absolutely wonderful! ! But, Becky, what am I going to do?

Why, he's just about perfect, Becky!J I suppose I might as well tell you about the English Club initiation. That was super duper too tat least, I thought so, but I'm not quite sure what the ln- itiates thought!!j During the day the kids had to dress up funny, and you should have seen them--you would have died laughing! They were a scream! And the signs they had on their backs were ter- rific! They certainly fitted the person! The poor things couldn't speak to us all day! fWhat a strain for them, but what a relief for us!J Mary Shaw had an awful time though. She really did try to keep quiet, but when Hank Baulch walked into the room Monday morning bright and early lfourteen and one-half minutes past eighth and spoke to her, she had to an- swer him or else be rude and that isn't nice. All she said was Hi , but that Hank put her name right down in his little black book, and poor Mary had to write a great long theme. Of course, she had lots of company - it's surprising the number that had to write themes because they couldn't keep quiet-but that didn't help Mary out any! Another thing they had to do was 'to carry our books for us all day long. Boy, Betty Landers had quite a time trailing Barbie Charlton. She had to make four trips to 29 . I made Georgie Holden carry mine, and she was so slow that I was late for every single class! She'd go and dump her own books first, so she wouldn't have to carry too many! I don't dare tell you what went on be- hind the closed curtains on the stage after school! If you'd heard all the commotion, you'd thought it was something all right! And, my goodness, Jeanette Bates and Jean Lambert are still limping around. It certainly was a hectic affair fwhat a mild wordlj Gracious, I nearly forgot to tell you about the supper we had. I guess it was good, but to tell-you-the-truth, I ate so fast that I really can't remember! There weren't any crumbs left over though, so it must have been extra special. After sup- per we sat there and sang and sang. Poor Miss Kennard must have thought we were going crazy or something. It wasn't the supper though, Becky, truly, it wasn'-t! tAt least I don't think it was, because Clara and Shirley were carefully supervis- ed while they were preparing it.-I think, I hope-Heavens! What if they weren't!J Horrors, look at this long letter I've writ- ten, and I was only going to scribble a few lines. I've simply got to stop now, as I have piles of homework to do. You ought to see how the teachers mistreat us this year. They preach to us in Guidance to go to bed early, and then they dump so much work on us that we just have to burn the midnight oil. Becky, don't you think that school is just a place to prepare you for your next night's homework? Boy, I do! , Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Jimmy fyou know-that cute new guy! is in my chemistry class. He's an awful fpar- don mel very good influence. I actually, came up in chemistry this time! Becky, I do not sit anywhere near him. It's just that-well, when I look at him, something just happens to me and-Isn't love grand, Becky? Gosh! Oh heck, there's my mother yelling to me again. I suppose I've got. to go do that history, but I'll write just the second any- thing happens. 'Bye now, Your best friend, Janie ' P. S. Gee, he's cute! Marietta Doescher CHEER LEADERS l'0LUN.X ISIC-SI'l'l,X li UF POLAND ln his Sixth Polonaise in A Flat Major Chopin has truly spoken of Poland. Into this great work he has woven all the cour- age and romanee of his native land. The Poland he knew was a tragic Poland, torn asunder by three great powers, her peo- ple tortured and foreed into exile. All this is to he heard in the stirring st1'ains of his immortal melody. The most predominant theme. however, is the spirit that was prevalent in Poland at that time. The will to he free is strong, growing throughout the refrain, until finally here is one last triumphant burst, of defiance and the melody is over. Many articles were written at the time Polanaise was composed concerning Poland. Most of these are now forgotten. The Polonaise remains a symbol of the love a patriot, bore for the land of his birth. lt is a shrine as beautiful as a paint- ing by Raphael and as inspiring as a march by Sousa that Chopin's genius has left for all his countrymen to hear, and, on hearing . . take heart again . Poland. through all her enslavements, lived not only in the hearts of her people, but also in the Polonaise. Whenever that melody is played, the inusieian, whether he realizes it or not, is expressing once more, through music, the courage and faith of a people who have always refused to he slaves and will ever do so. Chopin has Spoken of Poland in many brilliant pieces, but never, else- where, can be found the true Hvoiee of a people , expressed through one great man as it is found in Polonaise-Speak of Poland .

PERSPECTIVE You are alone in an eerie, ethereal for- est. You feel violence all around you. Your heart beats wildly and a vein in your temple throbs. Grotesque shadows reach out as if to strangle you. Suddenly, a death-like moan pierces the air. You be- come panlcky. You must escape. You run blindly. The ground under your feet seems hard and unreal. Your breathing chokes you, and an incessant ringing reigns in your ears. You stumble forward. All of a sudden you begin to sink. You're in quicksand! You're caught . . . trapped. Wait! There is a branch over your head. If you reach for it, maybe . . . Yet it seems so far away. You're tired. It would be so lnuch easier . . . NO! You want to live. You have the branch. You pull . . . pull . . . Your muscles strain. Your body aches. Your whole being is drained in the effort. But you've made lt. Why you have made lt! You're on solid ground. You came near death, but you're alive. You turn and go back into the forest with complete calmness. No longer are you afraid. The shadows aren't gro- tesque. They are dark, but the moon is brighter than they are dark. Once more you hear the sound that you heard, but it ls not a death-like moan. It is only the cry of a greedy, unschooled, child. B. Phelps IN TI-IE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING In my house the clock was ticking slow- ly, calmly, and deliberately. The minutes whirled softly away. It was two forty- three. In my house all was still. Next door, on my right, a priest was pre- paring, for the final rites of a dying man: on the left a radio was noisily blaring out the latest jazz, while nine or ten young teenagers laughed and danced away the minutes. On Commercial Street, a police- man picked up a sixteen year old girl who had been wandering in the streets since early that morning: on Chain Avenue, a few blocks away, sleepy, starry-eyed Jan- just made her ice Chordman, who had debut in a big coming-out party, flopped into a big, soft, downy bed. On Court 56 Street in a small private hospital, Edward J. Cooper, Jr. was bellowing forth his first lusty cries into this world: while at this same time a ragged, wlspy-haired old wo- man was identifying, in the city 'morgue, the bloated, bleary-eyed corpse taken from the river a few hours before, as her hus- band. In a fashionable apartment house a prominent business man was sleeping off a drunk: while in the great cathedral at this same time his own brother was kneel- ing in deepest humility in his Lord's house praying for his brother's soul. Back in my house all was silent. The clock was ticking slowly, calmly, and de- liberately. It was two forty-three. - I fell asleep. Elizabeth Conway THE MIRRORED SUNSET The three of us, dressed in old clothes and laden with fishing rods, a net and bait, stepped into a ruby-colored canoe and pad- dled slowly down a shallow creek. We rounded a bend and suddenly found our- selves ln an enchanted land. We were on the edge of a silver dollar shaped pond. An unbelievably beautiful sunset was mirror- ed ln the motionless water. The fervid colors were like a dream in reality. The sun was singing a triumphant aria. The rhythm was set at a fast tempo, and the mood was ever changing. Oddly shaped gray tree trunks along the shore repeated themselves welrdly ln the pond as if in a distorted mirror. The earth radiated a misty light, and even the air about us seemed tinged with colors. We did not speak as we watched Mother Nature's breath-taking show with its even more spectacular reflected performance. It was impossible to utter words in this great outdoor church. Only loons and a few gos- siping birds dared to break the peaceful silence. Man could never imitate this gorgeous panorama. No artist could ever paint these sublime colors, nor could a photographer ever reproduce such grandeur on his two dimensional negative. B.

Carolyn McCloskey A SUBXVAY THE FANYONS' GAME Hearing a dull thunder in the tunnel, I stepped to the edge of the platform and peered into the deep black of the opening in the wall to my left . The silvery rails winked the lights of the oncoming train into my eyes as a rippling lake would re- flect the moon. The thunder grew in un- believable proportions and, as the crash- ing giant crossed a switch, its lights sud- denly went out while a terrific shower of sparks leapt up from the wheels. Then, with a crushing roar, the dark brown monster plunged from the tunnel into the close confines of the subway station, each car twisting and swaying so that the whole machine looked like a great serpent in motion. While brakes screamed like tor- tured banshees. the great snake ground to a halt. Choas reigned supreme as the doors slid open: people stampeded off, on- to. and around the train, pushing, crowd- ing, cursing, trampling, and holding the doors for those left behind. With a hiss and a grinding of wheels the serpent slid into the tunnel at the right of the station and was gone. H. Baulch Have you ever played ball? VVell, that is precisely what the canyons did with our echoes last summer. The procedure of the game was quite simple, for the same members of the team played in the same manner every day. Made of an extremely hard rock, the first canyon was a fine batter, for the ball struck him and flew into space. The right outfielder, being rather small, never suc- ceeded in holding the ball but catching it for an instant merely delayed its flight. One never saw the left outfielder, but was always sure he partook in the game, for the ball remained with him a full five sec- onds: he must, have been a deep pillow of ledge. ln this otherwise happy game the only disturbing action occured every windy day, for the wind, a rather boisterous and teas- ing fellow, liked nothing better than to try to catch the various balls struck down the canyon's walls by the batter. I was always afraid he might catch one, but in his hurry to catch it, he blew it all the fur- ther away from him every time. Nancy Hyde 1 H CLUB 58 Verse THE FATE OF THE NERVII In Northern Belgium, far away, The Nervians planned to fight one day, To fight for home and liberty Against the mighty Caesar. Alone they stood, excepting two Neighboring tribes, who were for naught. Alone they stood, alone they'd die Fighting alone Rome's might. They formed a. plan, which they all thought To be unbeatable and wise. In woods above the river Sambre Lay they, so strong and brave. And when the signal given was Each man went out to meet his death Went out to die, all unafraid. Swiftly they crossed the stream, In one great mass they stormed the hill. They turned the enemy to flight, They fought an army better trained And seemed to be invincible. Caesar himself rushed to the fray, Assembled ranks, put up a fight. Yet they might still have winners been If legions had not come To aid their Caesar, losing fast, To reinforce his battered troops, Attack brave men and watch them die. The Nervlans fought on and on And kept on coming, 'til at last They were attacking o'er the forms Of wounded comrades, bruised and dead. They hurled the weapons down, And from the mound of bodies they Fought 'til they could not stand. Then, seeing full their countries' fate, They gave to Caesar all- Thelr homes, their lives, and liberty. Caesar, that he might seem most kind, Allowed those left home to return With broken lives and hearts. But out of sixty thousand men A There were five hundred left to see The tragic ending of their tale And live their lives in memory. Anne Hannon ' THE FRIEND Do' come in for awhile, she said When for a talk he stopped: With funds all gone the next day He found the door was locked. Nancy Hyde 59 LONELY SOUNDS Did you ever hear lonely sounds? I've I've heard them-so forlorn. listened, when the air was thick with fog, To the grating, harsh foghorn. I've And I've And The The The The The The The The listened to a cat's meow the blood-curdling cry of a prowling coon. heard a dog's queer, high-pitched whine the crazy, laughter of a loon. hollow striking of a clock, sound of footsteps in the dark, lonely hooting of an owl, grey wolves plantive howl and bark. minor note of a saxophone, empty wailing of the wind, cavernous sound of an echo, noise of a train by night's storm dimmed. These sounds are beautiful to me However lonely they may be. Beth Judkins OAKIE Oakie is a pet grey squirrel. He lives in our big elm tree. We think he's very beautiful And as graceful as can be. Our neighbor has a nice tall oak. Although 'tis fenced around, '- Oakie walks right underneath And hardly makes a sound. He fills his tummy full of acorns, Then thinks he'd like a few to keep, So he brings some over to our lawn ' And buries them quite deep. Sometimes he forgets to 'dig them out: Then a tiny oakls born. In this way Oakie is helping nature Her beautyculture to perform. Joyce Leavitt i THE TUMBLERS SKIING THE BURGLAR Up the hill Down the trail Past the trees With the speed of a gale On two dark wings. Hark, that noise! Quietly he arose from the bed. Slowly and silently he slipped down the stairs And cautiously peeked into the room. The bright lights blinded him for a. moment So that he couldn't see who was there. He heard a voice chuckle with amusement. Then he saw a man listening to the radio. Softly he tiptoed across the floor And tugged at the man's sleeve. Daddy, I want a drink! By the rocks Over the jump Then careening With a sickening bump While your head rings. Under a. branch Around a fence Down the line Estelle Sidelinker With nerves all tense But your heart sings. ---- Henry Baulch TO LOVE iii. GIVE-AWAYS It doesn't work you know, That mask you hide behind, You wish to make yourself Invunerable. But .... If I could live for love alone, I would not live in vaing If I could ease an aching heart, If I could stop the pain, The movements of your hands, If I could comfort a lonely soul, YOUI' GYBS. YOHI' t0l1e of V0iCG, Or just find someone to love, Your face unguarded. I would love to live Your lips,. the way you walk, To uve to love. Are all give-aways. Beverly Phelps Elizabeth Conway 60 I XVONDER fThoughts of a Three Year Oldj wonder where the wind goes After it has blown. wonder what the seeds do After they are sown. wonder what makes seasons Know when to go and come. ' wonder how the spruce tree Can make such good -spruce gum I wonder how the moon and stars Know when to come and go. I'll answer your questions little man- It's God that makes it so. Beth Lee Judkins TRUE LOVE The night was dark, The moon was high, A tear escaped From Suzie's eye. This was the parting, They'd meet no more. He recalled the day, She'd tapped at his door. A melancholy sadness Encircled the two, A love like theirs, Was possessed by few. Why was he compelled By his mom and dad To part with his companion, The only one he had? He held her close And resolved that He couldn't part With his beloved cat. Mary Skehan MY DAY Up ln the morning at seven, Dashed to school at eight. Didn't eat breakfast- Couldn't be late! Breezed hello to my friends And gave a special smile to my chum- Who always Has her homework done. Chemistry came first- Learned to say, instead of water, H20 will quench thirst. History came next- Boy! Could I murder the guy Who wrote that text!! Then up came Latin- Slld by on twenty lines, Just sat and prayed and prayed She'd let me by this time. Wrote a poem in English, Sure was tough- Couldn't for the life of me Find a word to rhyme with enough. Sandwich and coke at noon Then back to school All too soon. Studied in the afternoon Did Latin and Chemistry Had to take home That - - history. Drugstore at four Sandwich and coke once more. Home at five Cooked Dad's supper Keeping time with jive. Dishes done at six While I listen to Tom Mix. Movies a.t seven Home at eleven. Tired? Dead!! Flopped into bed, Said goodnight to the moon- Huh? Can't be morning this soon! Up again at seven, Off to school at eight, Not eating breakfast- Can't be late! Elizabeth Conway There was a brave lad named Stanton, Who possessed a shiny new lantern: He was poaching one nite By the lantern light When a skunk came along and doused Stanton. 61 I.. fp Q N? cvs 'F' 2 4 fi.
