R obert Brackett SENIOR NEWS Entering school last September, we had an enrollment of thirty-one Seniors, two of whom, Beverly Thomas and Peter Doiron, have now left school. At our first class meeting, we elected the fol- lowing oihcersz President: Emerie Richard Vice-President: Paul LeClcrc Secretary: Claire Ouellette Treasurer: Gertrude Bergeron Student Council: George Doiron and William Ierry We are proud to say that Emerie Richard has been President of our class for all four years. Our first undertaking was the Freshman Re- ception, held October 15, with fifty-four Fresh- men being entertained. A capacity crowd at- tended and enjoyed seeing the Freshmen who were such good sports. We also have a class that can be very proud of its athletes. In football Dino DeSoto, George Doiron, Arthur Demers, Ioe Nemi, Gerald Maillet, Emerie Richard, and Iames Gilbert took part, in basketball, Clarence Bryant, Lau- rence Bryant, Dino DeSoto, George Doiron, Ioe Nemi, and james Gilbert, in baseball, Clarence Bryant, Dino DeSoto, Ioe Nemi, Iames Gilbert, Arthur Demers, Gerald Maillet, and George Doiron. The girls who played basketball were Claire Ouellette, Doris Legere, Marie Nemi, and Ger- trude Bergeron. Bernice Deshaies was man- ager. In softball Claire Ouellette, Gertrude Bergeron, Doris Legere, and Melina Maillet took part. The Seniors of the commercial class, with their teacher, Mrs. Morton, went to Lewiston on December 14, where they visited Bliss Col- lege and Auburn Maine School of Commerce. The working project which started last year with the Seniors is still in use. Many of our class have taken advantage of this chance to re- ceive on-the-job experience. Our carnival queen candidates this year were Melina Maillet and Gertrude Bergeron with George Doiron and Gerald Maillet as their managers. Doris Bryant was a member of the cast of An Evening With Stephen Foster M and other Seniors sang in the chorus. Gertrude Bergeron was nominated by the Seniors and Faculty as our D. A. R. Good Citi- zenship Candidate. This is quite an honor for her and the school. ln March she was a guest of the D. A. R. at a luncheon and a dinner in Portland. Under the excellent direction of Miss York, the Senior class will present its Senior play en- titled It Happened in Iunc at Murray Hall on April 8. The play cast will be Betty, Ger- trude Bergeron, Susie, Bernice Deshaies, Nell, Doris Legere, Mollie, Doris Bryant, Charles, William Ierry, Randy, Emerie Richard, Iim, Merwin Bean, Iarvis, Robert Brackett, and Evalina, Corrine Murphy. With the coopera- tion of everyone, we hope that it w,i-ll be as suc- cessful as that of last year's class. We hopealso to enjoy a class trip to New York early in the spring.

We have the tendency to believe that this form of government is relatively new, but this is due only to the fact that it was not until VVorld War II that a communistic nation played an important part in world affairs. Un- til then, communism was only thought of as the type of government which ruled in Russia, but now since the recent war communism has enveloped about half of the European nations and is trying to envelop the other half as this is being written. The communists in France, Italy, and Germany are trying desperately to throw the people and the governments into con- fusion, by strikes and other means, in order that they may more easily overthrow these govern- ments. In our American way we are apt to say, What does what the communists are doing in Europe have to do with us, and what is so bad about Communism, anyway? U As we all know, today Europe's business is our business: for with modern planes we are only about five hours' Hying time away, and should the rest of Europe fall into the hands of the communists, America would stand almost alone as the bulwark of democracy. The harm of a communist government is easily seen. It stands for everything opposite that of a democratic government. There is no free enterprise, for the government controls all the land, industries, mines, railroads, and all the equipment used in these occupations. There is no freedom of worship. The true commu- nists believe in no God, but believe the state or government to be supreme. Examples of their oppression of freedom of religion are the unjust trials and condemnation of Cardinal Mindszenty and fifteen ministers of the Protes- tant faith, who were held by them. We in America should be grateful for the blessing of being in a country which is free, and we must be on guard, for there are com- munists in America who are waiting for some page sixteen chance, such as an economic depression, to do all in their power to influence good American citizens to the doctrine of communism. Emerie Richard, Editor A NEW IAY HIGH SCHOOL I believe that the Town of Iay needs a new high school. I base my belief on my observa- tions while I have attended the present school for the last four years. I believe that the present school is inadequate in size and teaching staff. It should be large enough to take care of the students who come in from rural areas in the town. A new school should have the same subjects as the schools in the larger towns. Among these should be manual training. art, more lab- oratory work, and an agricultural course. It should have a large gymnasium for such sports as basketball, volley ball and physical gymnas- tics. I believe that the idea of both Livermore Falls and Iay getting together and building one large school that will Ht the requirements which they now both lack is very good,-but where will they put it? The proposed place, in front of the old Livermore Falls building, is inadequate as there is no place for expansion. There is no place in Ohisholm that would be large enough for a high school and gymnasium. The only place that I can see is the place where the present Iay High School now stands. This place has enough land surrounding it so that it may be expanded to make room for a gymnasium and a baseball diamond. The present high school now leads in com- mercial work but it is lacking in manual work and college preparatory work. It doesn't have a large enough laboratory to accommodate all of the pupils who want to take chemistry and it does not have facilities for the teaching of physics. The Town of Iay will have to do something very soon if it wants the students of Iay High School to be as well prepared as the students of other schools of the same class. William N. Ierry, Assistant Editor RIVER POLLUTION Many people have voiced an opinion on the question of river pollution. Some think most of the cause lies in the large number of private and public sewers which empty into many of our large rivers. Many think most of the fault lies in the waste products that are disposed of in our rivers by large paper mills and other in- dustrial plants. Some large paper mills have already taken measures to improve the situation. The Inter- national Paper Company of Chisholm, Maine, has constructed a lagoon into which it runs its waste products. This sixty-thousand dollar project was expensive and only time will tell whether or not the results are going to be worth the expense and effort. Of course it is common sense that if any real good is going to be done, all the mills on the river will have to follow suit. If one mill stops polluting the water and the rest continue to dump waste products into it, not much good is going to be accomplished. If all the mills on the stream could get to- gether in one wide-spread plan to better the con- dition of the water, I think much progress toward a cleaner river could be made. Merwin Bean, ,49 page seventeen LITER RY THE PINES The pines with their tall and gallant heads Stand majestic o'erlooking the big, wide world. With their boughs of needles so green and brown They seem as if they can't be cut down. They snuff out the other kinds of life Which try to grow within their midst. The green of their needles shines bright in the summer, But turns gray like an old man in the midst of winter. Oh! you gallant pines, with your heads so high, How tall and straight your frames do stand, Within the woods, so large and vast, That one can find you in one glance. -Kenneth Howes, '51 THE SEA The sea with its greenish waters clear Rolls everlastingly upon the shore. You can hear its whispering in your ear And see its big waves roll o'er and o'er. Oh, that sea has been wicked many a day. lt has no mercy for a child newborn But will drag it to its bottom far away And laugh with mirth while the mother does mourn. Oh, how can a sea be so merciless And still have the world enjoy it so? With those tireless waves beating on, endless, When a little breeze the wind does blow. -Kenneth Howes, '51 EVENING When the sun goes out of sight, The moon comes up, and soon it's night. The stars shine in the heavens above, The birds stop singing to their love. The Howers bow their heads in sleep, The world is quiet to the oceans, deep.

He'd traveled this same way last night, And many nights before. He wished the night would come, when VV ould roam the streets no more. Our George is very lonely, now. A man had been his host, But not a very willing one, 'Cause George is just a ghost. - Gladys Berube, THE LITTLE OLD LADY Out in the woods not far away Among the towering pines There stands a little cottage All covered with moss and vines. Here lived a little old Lady, VVho sat in her chair all day And mended for all poor children VVho had no money to pay. But as the years go passing by She has no sewing to dog For she is now old and feeble And the children are grown up too. The children will not forget her When she has gone away, But think of the kind old Lady Who worked for them each day. - Shirleen Gross, BOOKS You may get books in a library Or buy them in a store, No matter where they come from There is fun and fun galore.

The sun above me seemed so bright, The trees were swaying in delight. My heart was light, and 1 went on. I even saw a little fawn, His tail was white, his coat was brown, And when I stopped, he looked and frowned. He scurried then along his way, And so did I, this happy day. And then the sun began to sink. I turned around, and began to think- What else could be so fine to do, When the sky has its gallant hue, As to walk down a path alone, Admiring everything from tree to stone? -Marguerite Tibbetts, '51 page nineteen CLOUDS The soft white clouds seem to fioat along, With a free and easy glide. They seem to know just where to go, And when and where to hide. They look like a herd of lonely sheep, In a quaint meadow of blue, Who want to wander all the time, With not a thing to do. --Helen Tibbetts, '51 THE VICTORY OF THE MERCHANT SON The captain's footsteps sounded, There was heard his loud death cry As he plunged to the hungry waters- In his sea grave he would lie. On the Merchant, all Hring ceased, There was no one to instruct the men. They were weary from the fight And not far from the foe's death den. Up stepped a bold young comrade. He manned the deck cannon And commanded the guns to roar, for He had faith in the Merchant Son. The foe, they stood their ground, Chasing down the foamy wave, The half-sunk Merchant staggered, But the crew was strong and brave. And their courage brought them strength On the battle-field of a sea: And the crew of the Merchant Son Won a far-Hung victory. Then while the cries of victory Were ringing with hope and belief, The waves just calmly swept the deck And the Merchant was lost beneath. -Althea Seamon, ,il HENRY One day while I was out hunting I met a very interesting person. His name, which I found out later, was Henry Lee, the third. Our meeting came about like this. I had been hunting most of the forenoon, with my usual luck, when I came to a place that looked like a crossing point for the deer. As I sat down to wait, I heard a slight rustle down be- low me. Looking up, I saw a gray-haired man page twenty walking up over the lip of the ridge. He car- ried an old single shot, twelve gauge shotgun and he acted as if it were kind of heavy. As he came nearer, I whistled to him so as not to startle him. I-Ie looked up with his quite blue eyes and said, 6' Hello. I replied, Have you seen anything yet this morning? He said, 'A Iive run across quite a bit of sign, but I haven't seen anything that moves yet, outside of you. I replied, I've had about the same kind of luck but I still got my hopes. How many deer have you got with that old beat-up shotgun? He replied, I have lost count. I bought this old twelve gauge when I was a kid and have had it ever since. I bet it kicks like ten mules all at oncef' I said. He answered, I used to think so but after I had it a little while, I knew what to expect so I got used to itf, After a while when we had seen nothing and had heard nothing, we separated, wishing each other good luck. Many times afterward while out hunting, I have thought about this old man and his equally old shotgun. Probably he had shot more deer with it than I will ever see. -Merwin Bean, '49 HOOKED Elizabeth Andrews was just entering the col- lege library when the voice of her friend, Pro- fessor Bartom, interrupted her. Don't forget your special assignment, my dear. I have great hopes for your success in this research work.'I She had come to college to get ahead in life. She wanted a good job with good pay and realized that to have it there would have to be no men in her life, at least none that she could really care for. And here she was, head over heels in love with Michael Halloran, the hand- somest man in the school. He made her like him and she wanted to choke him for it. He knew her ambitions and the reasons for her artificial coolness, and still he persisted. He wanted her to settle down and be his housewife, of all things. Well she'd see about that! Ah! the library was empty, except for Miss Stickover, the librarian. Betty didn't like her. She was too nosy and she liked to pair people up, especially Elizabeth Andrews and Mike Halloran, Today Betty tried to slip in without letting Miss Stickover see her. No luck. Good evening, Miss Andrews, and how are you and the young man getting along? No quarrels lately? No? I havenIt seen you with him very often lately. Now what is his name? I-Ialloran, isnIt it, Michael Halloran? Fine young man, isnIt he? 'I IIm very well, thank you, Miss Stickover,II Betty replied coolly and left Miss Stickover quite stunned by her aloofness. Betty was boil- ing mad. After all, Miss Stickover didnIt have to be that prying. There was a limit to every- thing. She could hear Stick. greeting someone else, but she was too far from them to know who it was. A few minutes later, whom should she bump into but Michael Halloran. As was MikeIs nature, he took advantage of the situa- tion and the first thing Betty knew, they were engaged. Arm in arm they left the building to do their courtinI some place much more appro- priate, the campus park. To heck with Stick- over and the research. -Gladys Berube, '51 IOEY'S FIRST VISIT Ioey was a very sick boy and this was his first visit to the church. He liked it very much and asked many questions about it. Best of all, he liked the statue of Our Blessed Mother, for it was beautiful and looked so alive. How he talked to it, but his mother told him that the nice Lady wouldn't like it because this was the home of the little Iesus. Mrs. Turner started praying and did not notice that Ioey was gone. A few hours later, she noticed a little figure walking in front of our Blessed Mother. There was little Ioey talk- ing and laughing as he looked at the statue. Mrs. Turner wasnIt very pleased and went to get Ioey. Mother,II said Ioey, 'I the Lady talked to me and look at the beautiful book she gave me. She said that if I would learn the little prayers in this book I would never be sick again.II Mrs. Turner went to see the pastor and told him about what had happened. He told her to try it. A few weeks later Ioey's sickness was gone. It was by a miracle. Ioey later devoted his life to God and became a priest. -Florence Fournier, '51 MY LESSON It was agreed among us boys that we would all-that is, five of us-get ten dollars so as to purchase the 1932 Ford which was on sale at DawsonIs Garage. Of course, none of us had that much money on hand, but we had to get it inside of one week. That night just as the family sat down to din- ner, I asked Dad for ten dollars. II Ten dollarslII yelled Dad. ThatIs a lot of money. What do you want it for? I' I explained to him that five of us boys wanted to buy a car. I' We can get one for Fifty dol- larslI' I exclaimed. 'I You boys are too young to drive,I' Mom said. I'd be worrying about you all the time.II I know that weIre pretty young,II I tried to explain, but DickIs a good driver. He prom- ised to teach us all if we buy the car.'I I donIt think you should give him the money, Dad.II Iane, my younger sister, spoke up. In a car he and his gang will be a men- ace to soc1ety.II 'IA what? II I cried in high indignation. A menace to society,I' lane repeated. 'I And furthermore - II 'I Father,II I growled, 'I are you going to listen to this infant? Are you going to let her tell you what to do? II No, I'm not,II answered Dad. And IIm not going to let you tell me, either. As your mother said, you boys are very young to be trusted with an automobile.II 'I But, Dad,'I I pleaded, weIll be careful. And as I told you- I' I'1l think it over and give you my decision tomorrow,II answered Dad as he rose from the table. NVhen Dad left the table, I knew that I had lost the argument, and I eouldn't think of any other place to get the money, that is, until lane whispered in my ear, ThereIs a thing called working for your money in this world, Bob.II Aw, shut uplII I cried. YouIve caused enough trouble already.II I had never worked in my life and I was sure that I wouldnIt start now. But I did want the money, and Dad wouldnIt give it to me, so the only thing left was to earn my money. It sounded like a dreadful thought, but . . . Three days later I proudly entered the house with a fifteen dollar check in my hand. Show- page twenty-one ing it to Dad, I remarked, 'L It was surely a les- son for me to work for it. Now I know how hard it is to earn some moneyf' Dad replied, 'L Now, Bob, probably you won't be asking me for money every time you turn around. And I knew that I wouldn'tg because for the lirst time in my life I knew that money surely didn't grow on trees. -Bernice Deshaies, '49 HITCHHIKING Last summer I decided to go swimming as it was a hot day, and it would be nice to cool off after working all morning. The next thing was, how was I going to get there? As usual when l'm in a hole, I went to see loeg but it was no use, he couldnlt get the car. So we de- cided to hitchhike. VVe went down to our old hiking spot by the bridge and there we stayed for quite a while. Finally an out-of-State car stopped and picked us up. The driver seemed to be a wise guy, but we kept quiet. In about twenty minutes we were at the old swimming hole and we told him to stop. He didn't. He said, Where l'm taking you, you'll never hitchhike again. I-le Finally let us out about ten miles beyond our old swimming hole. We walked all the way back, swam for about fifteen minutes, then left with some of our friends who had ears. From that day on, I have left my thumb where it belongs, no more hitchhiking for me. NVhen I want to go some place, I'll wait and go with my friends who have cars. Hitchhiking is very dangerous, because you never know who's going to pick you up. There is too much kidnapping going on. It is best to walk. -Dino DeSoto, '49 EXCUSE ME The Fifth Avenue bus rolled along through the heavy tralIic while lim, sitting alone on the back seat, never dreamed that this was the day he had waited for for so many years, The bus rolled to a stop at the corner of one of the city's parks. A beautiful girl got on and finding no other available seat, started toward the rear of the bus. lust then the bus lurched fldgt' lll'l'f1fy-fll'0 forward sending the girl headlong toward lim. The girl muttered a weak, Excuse me, and sat down beside lim. Soon they were both talking and having a great time. lim found that she was the new girl who worked in an office just beyond his. After this day lim saw very much of this girl. I-Ie took her to lunch every noon and soon he was calling for her nights after work. This Went on for a couple of months with lim seeing more and more of her each day. It wasnlt long before lim and she were married. The moral of this story is: If you don't want to be an old maid when you die, you had bet- ter say, Excuse me, the next time you stum- ble onto a good-looking fellow on the bus. -William Ierry, '49 A TRIP TO MARS The weather here was fairly mild. Big, fleecy clouds hung high above. I was silently making my way along the winding roads when I heard a noise above me. I glanced up and saw the strangest airplane slowly descending toward me. Finally about ten feet from the ground it stopped. Three huge men climbed out and down a ladder which they hung out from it. I stood and stared at them till they reached me, They looked me over then, shaking their heads in agreement, lifted me into the air and carried me up the ladder. Shaking and screaming, I was put into the plane and left alone. Then came a startling jerk. I was be- ing carried far into space. I had been Hying almost an hour when I sud- denly stopped. Eagerly, I climbed out. The first thing I knew I was surrounded by strange men who were taking me somewhere. I looked around and saw what they were going to do. They were going to boil mel They were as bad as cannibals. I didn't know what to do. I tried to make them understand there was something else in the plane. Releasing their grip somewhat, they glanced back at the plane. I took the moment to flee. I ran over a hill with the little men close behind me. They were gaining, and be- fore I knew it, I was at a cliffs edge. Not be- ing able to stop, I plunged over. I felt myself falling, falling, falling .... Then all of a sudden I woke up. I was lying on the Hoor. It had been just a dream, and I guess that's the closest Illl ever get to Mars. -Marguerite Tibbetts, '51 TONY A few years ago Tony Brad passed away, but not to be forgotten. To most people Tony was just another old man who passed away in his little log shack, but to a few of us he was the most outstanding man we had ever known. The summer before Tony left us was one of the most interesting summers my pals and I ever enjoyed. Tony had come to this country in 1936 from Italy, where he was born and lived until he decided to come to America. The people in our town thought Tony was a simple man mainly because he couldnjt speak very good English and knew nothing of our way of living. Une day a friend and I were walking along the edge of Tonyis field when we heard him shouting at his horse, which was pulling a wagon loaded with wood. We looked and lis- tened, then saw Tony lying down pinned un- der the wheel of the cart. Seeing he was in need of help, we rushed over and got the horse to pull the cart away and release Tony. That was the first time anybody had been near Tony ever since he had come to America and also the Hrst time we had spoken to him. As strange as it may seem, we were friends in five minutes. There we were, sitting beside the cart with Tony rubbing his foot and laugh- ing in a manner that made us laugh too. He us time and time again for helping thanked him but mostly for being friends. Ever after that day we would go over and see Tony, and he would tell us stories of his life in Italy, with a smile on his face no matter what he said. One day we found Tony beside the brook, poor Tony had died. Looking around, we noticed a note in his hand. It read, HI want to be buried where I am, because this is where I found my friends, my very best friends. Tonyf' We did as he wished and shall always remem- ber Tony and his smile. -Paul Leclerc, '49 A DAY IN GREENWOOD FOREST My, these woods are large, I thought. I'd like to know where I amf' I started for- ward into the midst of a number of giant trees. As I slowly found my way in and out of my prison-like forest, I came to an opening. There was a strip of pasture. How strangef' I murmured. MI wonder if I'm dreaming or something? H 'K Nof' a voice thundered, you are in Green- wood Forest. Wh-who are you? I struggled to get out of my speechless throat. There in front of me stood a huge man, twice my size. I am little Iohnf, he said. Come with me. No, I have to go. But as I started to flee, he grabbed me up and began walking. I was frightened. Put me down, put me down! I screamed. Yet it was no use. I was being carried into an opening. You'll never have to be afraid with mef' he said. I help peoplef' Sure enough, he was carrying me to the edge of the forest. There he put me down and said, Here you are. You may go now, you'll find your way from heref, As I ran out into the open Held once more, I could hear the trees, the stones, the whole forest silently saying, U Goodbye, good luck, and come back again sometimef' -Marguerite Tibbetts, ,5l MY FIRST LESSON I got up bright and early on this particular Saturday morning. The sun hadnlt come up yet, but I just knew it was going to be a swell day for skiing. Io came over directly after breakfast, since I was expecting her. Upon arriving, she remarked, Be sure to dress warmly and don't forget your lunchf' I won't, came my muffled reply as I pulled my heavy woolen sweater over my head. At last everything was ready, so we departed for Gary Heights, a delightful skiing slope just right for novices. Do you think we can make it by ten o'clockP asked Io. Well, we've got a good start, anyway, and there's only three more miles to gof, Gee, Iid like to meet one of those handsome instructors the girls have all been talking about latelyf' I guess you won't do much skiing if you meet one of those wolves, and besides, I'm be- pagc' twenty-three ginning to wonder if you really intended to come skiing in the first place. No answer. Silence accompanied us the rest of the way. Reaching the foot of Gary Heights, we de- cided to take the ski tow. The scenery was so beautiful once we reached the top that one just had to stop and admire it. 'L What do you say, we eat our lunch right now? It's almost noon, and besides, I'm hun- gry after that long hike, I suggested. I' Oh, I suppose so, answered Io, casting a final glance around the hill and hardly paying attention to what l was saying. We ate with hardly a word. The only com- ments were about the delightful weather and marvelous scenery. Are you ready, Io? I' I muttered as the last swallow of hot cocoa went down making me feel as warm as a kitten. Yeah, who's going down first? if You may if you'd like, l'm not very good at making tracks. Okay, Babs, as you like, said Io, almost hesitatingly. Off she went, gliding first this way, then that way, round a little nook, over a small incline, now out of sight, then back into view, and fin- ally to a standstill at the end of the trail. Well, that's nothing, I conjectured. Here I go. I went downhill, gliding just as smoothly as Io did, first this way, then that way, round a little nook- Say, those tracks are easy to follow, just as simple as pie. -Over a small incline, then out of sight, into one of the biggest snow drifts this side of the Heights. I was still struggling to get out when I0 ar- rived at the scene. With her was one of those 'I handsome instructors, who had been admir- ing her skill as she weaved her way down the slope. Don't just stand there, do somethingf, I stammered angrily. One of my skis was caught, and I couldn't get up. I had lost both my mittens, and my hood had fallen off, causing my hair to blow in all directions of the wind. 'KWell, cried I angrily, are you going to let me freeze here all afternoon while you two page twenty-four laugh and make fun of me? I guess I need an instructor more than you do, Io. Finally, they helped me out of my misery, and Paul, the instructor, loaned me a pair of his mittens. The three of us trudged back to his cabin together. He made a fire in the fireplace, ren- dering a very cozy atmosphere. He served us hot coffee and cookies. Why not wait around for a few minutes, maybe I can find someone to drive you two girls back to townf' he suggested. Not feeling too energetic after the events of the day, we readily accepted the offer. He left the cabin for a few minutes, then re- turned immediately with his friend, Iack, who owned that new convertible club coupe that was parked in front of the inn. All set, girls? inquired Paul. Certainly, we echoed together. lack was a wonderful guy, we all joked, talked, and laughed together all the way home. Of course, he was told about my incident on the ski trail, we all laughed it off together, and I didn't really mind at all. -Gertrude Bergeron, ,49 A KITCHEN DISASTER Being alergic to swinging doors, I can hardly step through one without a mishap. On this particular trip my tray was loaded with watermelon and coffee. lean, the other waitress, was coming out of one door into the serving room and I was entering the dining room through the next one. Since we had a habit of kicking the door before going through, they both hit the back of our trays. lean, who had loaded hers with a stack of dirty dishes, broke nearly every one as they went crashing to the floor. As for me, I was standing in the dining room with an empty tray hoisted over my head, and dripping from head to foot with watermelon juice and hot coffee. -Gertrude Bergeron, '49 MOTHER'S SALE RESISTANCE During the part of the day when Mother was the busiest, the doorbell was given a sharp ring. Muttering to herself, she scurried to answer. Opening the door, she spied a small, grimy- faced boy with taffy-colored hair and a turned- up nose. He carried some clean, white papers and had a pencil behind his ear. Close beside him was a small, curly-haired poodle. 'A Hi, Mam, ventured the little boy, I'm Ioe, and I'm selling s-s-sa'scriptions for mag- maga-er-books. Iid like to sell you one if you want one. He was a very cute little salesman but Mother replied, I'm sorry, Sonny, but I have more magazines now than I have time to read. But can'cha buy jus' one? There are lots of dif'ent kinds. It says here that you cin git a Donald Duck Funny Book for on'y one dollar a year. Wont'cha even git 'at one? 'I he pleaded. Oh! I never read the funnies, Mother insisted. Ohl 'ats all right. I'll come over 'n read 'em for you, he offered, 'Un' b'sides I gotta earn some more money so I c'n buy ,at li'l bi- cycle in the store windowf' By this time Mother's resistance had given out and she took the hard-working boy by the hand, beckoned to the dog, and went inside. She gave the successful salesman a dollar for the subscription to the book plus another dollar to help him earn his bicycle. With gleaming eyes he replied, K' Thank you a lor and 1,11 come over to give you a ride when I git my bikef' -Ardena Cook, '50 WHY I LIKED BILL Bill and I grew up together. We understood each other pretty well. He was French but spoke English most of the time. In his house we had to speak French, because his parents wouldn't allow us to say a word in English. Bill was a tremendous ball player. He played football, basketball, and baseball. He was good in all three of them, but football was his specialty. He was built like a football player and he made use of it. The reason why I liked Bill is that he was a good loser as well as a good winner. He always set his heart on the game and put into it every- thing he had. I couldn't say that he was the quiet type, because he wasn't. He was out every night and enjoyed himself. Everything he did, I fol- lowed. We had lots of good times together. In his spare time he would take a bunch of young kids and show them every trick there is in a football game. He showed them how to tackle, how to carry the ball, the correct form of punting, and the blocking. He always did like kids and they loved him. He was well- liked by everybody. Today, Bill's married, has three kids and a swell home. He says that there's nothing in this world better than a married life. -Gerald Maillet, ,49 HITCHHIKING One day my friend, Ioan, and I set out on a little hiking trip to Lewiston. Luck was with us going down, for we met a traveling salesman and he took us in as far as Lisbon Street. The First thing we did on reaching the place was to enter the Steckino Hotel and enjoy a spaghetti feed. We couldn't ask for a better meal. Everything was wonderful, including the service. Then we went shopping for an hour or so and bought ourselves each a new pair of skates and a new dress. We also bought a few knick- knacks that one always picks up when shop- ping around. Since it was only about three o'clock, we de- cided to take in a show before heading back for home. The movie didn't turn out to be very good. It was all about cowboys and ranchers. We noticed it was beginning to get pretty dark as we crossed the bridge to go home. We walked and walked - past the new garages and past New Auburn -and we were still walking. Luck had sure deserted us on the return trip. Finally an old, beat-up Plymouth car pulled up alongside the road and we piled in. That ride was only about a half mile. So we struck off again, and it seemed to me that we walked for hours. Reaching Turner Center, we got another ride, this time with two old men whose looks didnit seem very inviting to me. But, nevertheless, we accepted. When we reached Livermore Falls, we asked to get offg but they kept on going without a word. At Chisholm, we asked again to get off, but the only response was a speeding-up of our pace. They took us almost as far as North Iay be- fore anyone spoke. Then they stopped the car and told us they had done this purposely to scare us. They warned us never to accept rides from strangers again, because one never knows what might happen. After thoroughly scolding us they brought us back home safely. All I can say is that I,ve learned my lesson. I'm through with hitchhiking for as long as I live. -Gertrude Bergeron, ,49 page twenty-five .hi AN INTERLUDE IN LIFE Many years had passed since the death of Marlot, David Williard's wife. As David sat by the table in his solitary home, it all came back as it had been seven years ago, and in his mind's eye he relived a time that will always be his most prominent recollection. The candle Hickered and a strange beam of light shone from a crack in the door. David! Are you there, David? David lifted his head from the table and his face was bewildered. lt was Marlot's voice. Marlot, Marlot! he shouted. Where are you? U Herel 'L You can't bel It was only a week ago that you died. He groaned aloud, his imagination was wandering. Maybe he was becoming in- sane. David, come and get me. Her voice died to a whisper. David ran from the room in high excite- ment, but the yard was dark. Twice he fell over stones and hidden obstacles and always the light was in the distance. He must follow it: maybe he had only dreamed that Marlot died. He ran through the long night and there was always the beam of light ahead of him. Morning came. David found himself beside the grave of his wife. Dazed, he Houndered back home. What was happening to him? As the weeks went by, he did his work and kept the house but he did not eat much. He seemed to be living in no-man's world. Then one day David knew that something had to be done. He was getting weaker be- cause he had no will to live. Why should one live with no reason for it? All the things David had sought had been snatched from him. He had no memories but had been captured by fate. Coming in one night from work, he sat down and counted his money. He had plenty, for he had no use for money now. He selected a few bills from the bag, all he would need: for he knew he was going to die. Tying the bag with a string, he set out for a distant house. Reach- ing his destination, he put the bag on the door- step. This family was poor and needed the money far more than he. That night David was awakened by a noise that seemed to go on and on. He sat upright. Who is it? i' he demanded in a weak voice. page twenty-six Then he saw the light. the same one he had seen when Marlot had called. A stricken look passed over his pale face. The voice was gentle as it answered. Fear not, I have come to help youf, K' Help me? David questioned meekly. No one had helped him for a long time. Yesl If you will listen. You must face life as it was planned for you. There can be no turning back in a world of Christians. Take life and sorrow as it comesg for often those who have come to believe they are down-trod- den are really just starting to live. And fear not, for you shall be greatly rewardedf' David pondered over this till almost morning. Then, dressing in his Sunday suit he set out for church. Who had talked to him he did not know. Maybe it was his conscience. As David came out of church that bright Sunday morning. his heart held a brightness that was filled with hope, and somehow he knew that he would be better from now on. -Althea Seamon, '51 THE MYSTERIOUS SHADOW lt was the night of the Home Economics Christmas party, which was being held in the Barker High School gym. Everyone was run- ning about excitedly in preparing the event. A program had been planned and a committee of girls was decorating the Christmas tree and arranging the gifts in the school gym, which was on the third HOOF, while the rest of the girls were in the basement with their advisor, Mrs. Given, getting the refreshments set up. Some were only fooling around and gossiping, waiting to be called to the gym to exchange gifts and get the fun started. When Claire Flagg, who was on the program committee. came to get these girls, Madeline Coombs, Ieanette Pettingill, and Arlene Dysart, who always wanted to see everything Hrst, started hurrying upstairs. Approaching the second flight, they were startled by the figure of a man. At once panic struck them and they rushed downstairs and nervously told Mrs. Given and the girls about the shadow. 'Klmaginel a man at school at night time and at a girls' party! So everyone slipped quietly upstairs to rescue the program committeeg but then they saw the man, so again everyone rushed downstairs. Some girls were crying, others shaking, some were going out the windows. No one dared to give advice on what to do or offered to get help until Madeline, Ieanette, and Arlene decided to go after the neighbors to investigate. A few men came and quickly went to the second floor. They found the man, who was no other than the Principal, Mr. Crouse, getting some water for his car radiator. The girls, including Mrs. Given, were ashamed of being so frightened, but they thanked the men for helping them and continued their party, which was very success- ful. -Louise Reed, '51 MY VOCATION The United States Navy is my vocation as far as I can see. After graduation in Iune I will enlist in the Navy for three years. After my three years are up, I will then decide what to do next, either reenlist or work in some fac- tory or mill somewhere. My hope is that I will like the Navy. If I do, it will be my career for sure. Twenty years is not so long when compared with the civilian's forty-five to fifty years before retirement. You can never compare civilian life to Navy life. ln the Navy, your room, board, clothes, and medical care is no worry of yours. You eat three times a day, you have a bed to sleep in, and you get paid every payday no matter what. The chance for advancement is greater than in civilian life, which means a larger payroll and a better job. Who in civilian life can start working at seventeen and retire at thirty-seven with an in- come about Sl87.00 a month, which is average for the retired Navy man? Very few, if any. The United States Navy is a clean life and an adventurous one. It's the Navy for me. -Paul Leclerc, '49 TRYING TO MAKE A COMPOSITION On a fine, bright day as you casually walk into English class, you are as happy as a lark, thinking of all the fine things to do after school. The snow is just right for snowshoeing and your snowshoes are just itching to be off into winter's wonderland. As these thoughts go one after another through your mind, you suddenly are aware of the fact that the period has begun and that the teacher is saying something about a composi- tion .... a two page one .... and for next day's work! From out of nowhere, a cold shiver starts going up and down your spine. Also, the air suddenly has a stuffy, oppressive feeling. Since such an assignment requires thought and concentration, your snowshoes will have to wait until another day. As the bell rings, end- ing your period, you trudge out like a con- demned man walking his last mile. After arming yourself with a pencil, pen, ink, and plenty of paper, you are ready to start your task. The only thought you have is, What will I write about? Will it be about the seasons of the year, my First job, or a complete life story of my dog? Finally you write something which to you seems wonderful but in reality doesn't make the least bit of sense. The next day you pass your theme in with the others, confident of getting a pretty good mark, well, maybe not too good, just so you can break your record of straight C's. Well, I suppose you have guessed it. A few days later, you have broken your record. You get a bright D. --Iacqueline Paradis, ,50 GOING OVER NIAGARA FALLS Iohn and lim were in their shop in the cellar where they had spent their time most of the summer. What they were doing was a secret no one knew but the two of them. At the end of nine weeks they emerged from their shop with a weird-looking, oblong-shaped contraption that looked like a barrel, and that was exactly what it was, but a very special one. lt was reinforced with steel and very well pad- ded with rubber and cloth fabric. asked them what they were When anyone going to do, they simply said they were going over Niagara Falls in their barrel. Everyone laughed at the time, but one week later, with- out their parents' knowing, they climbed into their barrel on the bank of the river and soon were headed for the falls. They went over the falls all in one piece, but the whirlpool was ahead. When they went into it, they went around so fast they became unconscious. When they came to, the barrel had stopped moving so they opened it up. It was very dark. They crawled from the barrel and soon discovered they were in a large cave with skeletons all around them. They lit a stick and started exploring for the entrance. After wandering around for half an hour, they Ptlgf ltllfflly-560671 suddenly came into a big hall cut in solid stone. It was filled with gold and jewels of all kinds. Iohn and lim knew the treasure was no good to them unless they could find a way out. They hunted for three hours for the entrance, mak- ing a map as they went. After much trouble they found that the passage came out under the falls. It was pitch dark when they got home. Their parents were overjoyedg for they thought the boys were lost forever. The following day the whole family went back to get the treasure which the boys had found the day before. They discovered that it had belonged to Black Iack, the noted pirate, and they all went home happy with their find. -Kenneth Howes, '51 OUR IOHNNY The last ray of the sun was sinking behind sleepily the blanket of darkness as Iohnny stretched across his hard floor bed. lt was still He had early, but Iohnny was very tired. worked immensely hard all day, only stopping for lunch, which was only for a few minutes, hard as and then he'd continued to work as ever. As Iohnny's rigid body lay stiffly, he thought of the day, long ago, when his parents had died in an accident, and he remembered having been placed in the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. He had been only five years old then, but it didn't take long for Mr. An- derson to teach Iohnny how to toil on the rich Alabama soil of his farm. Iohnny remembered that long ago the Andersons had had only three children, but as the years passed, the num- ber increased to seven. Day after day, Iohnny had worked for the Andersons, only to receive harsh words and whippings for little, ordinary, everyday mistakes. Probably all this happened because Iohnny was a different color from the Andersons. Iohnny was a negro. He was now fifteen years old, but didn't look much older than twelve, because of the unhealthy food and frequent, severe punishments that he received. Iohnny was a good boy, even though the An- dersons didnit like him and treated him like a slave. Many a time he yearned to run away and see how he could make out in the world by himself, but he always backed out on think- ing that he was a negro and wouldn't have much of a chance, anyway, in this white man's world. One day, when Iohnny entered the house after working in the field, Mrs. Anderson told page twenty-e1'ghl him that the whole family was going to town to do the weekly shopping, and that Iohnny was to stay at home. He was also forbidden to leave his little attic-room. This was one com- mand that Iohnny couldn't obey. As soon as the Andersons left for town, he tripped slowly downstairs to the dim-lit parlor, to the ances- tral piano, and laid his dark fingers against the white ivory keys. He touched the keys gently, and a beautiful chord rang through the air. Once more, Iohnny's life saw a little light from the darkness of his everyday chores. Yes, ev- ery week when the Andersons left for town, he would play the piano but steal softly back to bed as soon as he heard Mr. Anderson's horse and wagon in the distance. This was a secret that Iohnny kept to himself. All the lullabys that Ma Anderson sang to her children, Iohnny could play on the piano. He'd learned to play all by himself. He also added a great many beautiful notes to the songs and played them on this musical instrument. The melodious tunes filled the dingy room with happiness as Iohnny's limber fingers sped over the keys, and his heart opened to swallow all it could hold of the harmonies, for it was a musi- cal heart. As Iohnny struck lightly the last note of his soft lullaby, he suddenly heard a faint clicking in the distance. His bare feet swiftly pattered upstairs, for he knew it was the sound of the Andersonis wagon and clopping horse. No sooner had Iohnny reached his darkened room, than the door of the kitchen swung open, and Iohnny, pressing his ear to the floor planks of his little attic, heard Mr. Anderson talk to his wife. They were talking about some kind of ridiculous contest that was going to take place in town the next day. Iohnny's ear ached, because he was pressing it so hard on the roughly cut wood. Again, he heard Mr. An- derson talk about the foolish contest, saying that the people sponsoring it were certainly lunatics to come to a small town like this to try such a crazy stunt. Mrs. Anderson was now saying that she thought nobody around this part of the country was smart enough to win anyway. The kitchen lights went out and all Iohnny heard was muflied voices talking from another room. I'll bet they're still talkin, about that thar' contest, Iohnny thought. Wonder what it's all about? i' he was now gently whispering. Like most young boys, Iohnny was very in- quisitive and was determined to find out more about the contest. He dared not ask the Andersons for fear they would slap him across the face and tell him to mind his own business, so he climbed down from his tiny attic window and leaped to the ground. Then he ran as fast as he possibly could. This was the first time that he had run away, and he was really enjoy- ing it. Several hours passed before Iohnny reached town. By now, there were few lights in the houses. Most of the people were asleep. As he strode through the streets, he was suddenly blinded by a huge, bright light that hung on the corner of an enormous building. Below the light, pasted to the red, crumbling bricks of the building, was a colorful poster. Iohnny had never learned to read, but he saw the picture of a beautiful harp, a number of mouth instru- ments, and also a gorgeous piano. As he stood there gazing at the poster, a kindly old man came up to him and said, Son, aren't you out pretty late? lsn't it past your bedtime? This kindly man amazed Iohnny at first, for he'd never been spoken to gently before. Iohnny explained that he couldnft read and would very much like to know what the poster contained. The man told him that there was a musical contest to take place tomorrow in this big building. The person who wins the contest, the man was now saying, wins a four year scholarship to a musical institutionf, Iohnnyls eyes widened as thoughts sped through his mind very quickly. Sir, he cried, do yuh s'pose I'd have a chance to play the piana at the contest? Please, Sir, I kin really play, and l'll do ma' very bes'. Iohnny trembled as he waited for the man's reply. Well,,' drawled the man, I suppose you'd have to speak to the directorf, After johnny had pleaded with his whole heart and soul, the elderly man finally took him to see the director, a small, mean-looking indi- vidual, who was working late that night. He took one look at the ragged, young negro boy and said, Sorry, some other timef, Iohnny still didn't give up. He went into the manager's ofiice and begged, pleaded. The manager gave in finally. All right, you can enter the contest, he said. Only, be sure to be here tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.', Iohnny's heart sang as he spent the night doz- ing on the cold stairs of peoplels houses until dawn peeped out and until, finally, contest time arrived. Many people attended the amateur concert, and they cheered and clapped for every con- testant. When Iohnny appeared on the stage, the people just gasped when they saw a young negro raggamutlin. They fell silent, but when they heard Iohnny play, and when they saw the warm expression on his face as he played his gentle, beautiful tunes, they realized that Iohnny was a talented musician, and clapped and cheered until all that was heard across the street was a tremendous roar. Yes, a huge crowd that had shunned the bare- foot, ragged darky had now chosen him to be the winner. Yes, Iohnny had won the hearts and confidence of all these wonderful people, and today, Iohnny captures the hearts of mil- lions as he still plays his melodious tunes. -Anita Blais, '50 page twenty-nine ACTIVITIES Boudreau STUDENT COUNCIL The first meeting of the Student Council was held October 6, when the following ofiicers were elected: President .......... William Jerry Vice-President ........ Leo Legere Secretary ........... Gloria Howes Athletic tickets, sponsored by the council, were required for all students. The Student Council planned the Carnival Ball. Lloyd Rafinel was hired to play for the dancing. Miss York was in charge of the dec- orating committee for the carnival ball, with two students from each class working with her. The council voted to assume the responsi- bility for the general conduct of the students. The council also had charge of the punishment of some students. The council sincerely believes that this has been a prosperous and happy year at Iay High School. HOME ECONOMICS If you entered the Home Economics class- room, you would Hnd many things going on. The Freshman girls would be studying their books on child care. The Sophomore girls would be nervously trying their cooking for the first time. The Iunior girls would be busy sew- ing on skirts, blouses, and other articles of cloth- ing or embroidering some very beautiful stitches on pillow cases and other fancy work. The Senior girls would be preparing meals which make your mouth water. The boys also would be busy with their cooking lessons. During the year new drapes have been put up in the Home Economics room and they make the room look very nice. The girls also made drapes for the teachers' room and recov- ered the furniture. The Home Economics Department, with the help of its teacher, Mrs. Smith, is growing larger and we are looking forward to new and better projects in Home Economics. DINNER MEETING On Monday, February 7, 1949, Superintend- ent Neil V. Sullivan entertained the teachers of lay, the members of the School Committee and their wives at a dinner and afternoon meeting at Iay High School. The dinner was prepared and served by girls of the Senior Homemaking Class and was served in the Homemaking Room. The menu consisted of baked ham, mashed potato, peas, molded salad, pickles, bread, but- ter, Ozark pudding, and coffee. The tables were covered with white linen table cloths with centerpieces made of cotton snowmen sitting on fir sprays. After dinner was served, the teachers ad- journed to the main room where group singing was enjoyed under the direction of Mrs. Leah Petersen. Then the teachers were divided into three groups and each group went to a special meeting. These meetings were conducted by Mr. Bemiss, on social studies, Mr. Kibbee, on science, and Mr. Sullivan, on reading. STEPHEN FOSTER ENTERTAINMENT On Friday, November 19, An Evening With Stephen Foster was presented at Murray Hall with nearly one hundred students taking part.

THE SENIOR PLAY On April 8, 1949, at Murray Hall, the Senior Class presented its Senior Play, It Happened in Iunef' under the splendid direction of Miss Mary E. York. This play, which was written by Eugene G. Hofer, is the story of Charlie Atkins, a Harvard graduate, and his pal, Randy. The action takes place in the little village of Shady Grove where Charlie has been sent by his father to be kept out of mischief and tamed down. lncidentally an uncle, who owns a large chain of grocery stores, delegates him to force a rival store in the village out of business. When Charlie arrives in town, he promptly falls in love with Betty Branson, then to his horrified dismay he finds that she owns the store he has been sent to force out of business. Resigning from his uncle,s em- ploy, he decides to put Betty's store back on its feet with the help of coy Suzie, impish Nell, lazy lim Pritchett, and the Irish cook, Mollie. ln doing this, he finds out some things about old Iarvis Sneed, the skinfiint who has been managing the chain store and trying to swindle Betty out of some money.

Over the public address system, they began the broadcast of the old Christmas story of Scrooge and his nephew. This was rudely in- terrupted by a frantic father who wished them to help locate his missing son. After several in- terruptions of their program, the announcer, director, and sound man finally agreed to help. Bobby and his friend, hearing the broadcast in a radio shop, promised to return and a Modern Scrooge learned how to keep Christmas. Members of the cast were: Announcer, P. Therrien, Director, B.

Seamon, I. Spiller, M.- Morin, and F. Fournier. Other radio broadcasts wers studied and per- formed with members of the class only as audi- ence. These were very enjoyable and we hope to do more of these next year. FRESHMAN RECEPTION The Freshman Reception, that most dreaded event of the year for the incoming class at lay High School, was held in the gym on Friday evening, October 15. The large and talented class performed stunts for the entertainment of themselves and a large crowd which gathered to watch their initiation. Gertrude Bergeron and Robert Brackett were the emcees. ' After the program, dancing was enjoyed and refreshments were on sale. CARNIVAL BALL On the evening of Ianuary 15, 1949, lay High School held its annual Carnival Ball at Murray Hall. Arline Legere of Riley, a Sophomore, was crowned queen of the ball by Principal Howard D. Bemiss. The queen and her king, Bertrand Turmel, marched to their beautifully decorated thrones between their attendants, Melina Mail- let, Gertrude Bergeron, Louise Dubord, Bar- bara Babbie, Florence Fournier, ludith Farring- ton, Dorothy Iolicoeur, and their managers. Little Montress Preston and Kerry Thomas, both of lay, were the crown bearers. The queen was presented with a beautiful bouquet of roses and a ski-jacket. The hall was decorated in blue and white crepe paper, skiis, snowshoes, and strings of col- ored lights. The committee in charge was George Doiron, Gloria Howes, Barbara Babbie, Ianice Spiller, Eddie Legere, Paul Therrien, and Miss York. V There was a wonderful crowd present to hear the top orchestra in Maine, Lloyd Raffnel. A wonderful evening was enjoyed by all. page thirty-tlzree GIRLS' GLEE CLUB First row, left to right: Mabel Moore, Louise Dubord, Melina Maillet, Gloria Howes, Ardena Cook, Judy Farrington, Diana Frecker, Marion Cook, Gertrude Ber- geron, Jeannette Pomerleau.

STUDENT LEGISLATURE The Student Legislature has been formed by the people of certain States to give their children a chance to represent them in the State House for a day. A Student Governor 'l is elected by the stu- dents to preside over the State. Committees are named for the subjects which will be discussed at this meeting. These committees go through the same procedure that the regular committees do in drawing up a bill. Each high school in the State is allowed five representatives and one faculty advisor to rep- resent it in this legislature. Some of the stu- dents are given seats in the House while others are sent to the Senate. This year lay High sent Barbara Babbie, Maxine Allen, Emerie Richard, VVilliam Ierry, and GeorgelDoiron. I believe that this Student Legislature is a great help to all students who attend. It gives them a better understanding of govern- ment and makes better citizens of them in future years. IAY HIGH SCHOOL BAND This year lay High has added a band to its many activities. This band is under the super- vision of Mr. Myers of Lewiston, Maine. There are twenty-six pieces now - nine cor- nets, seven clarinets, three trombones, two saxo- phones, two snare drums, one bass drum, one French horn, and a bass horn. We hope to add more instruments each year. In order to make a larger band the Chisholm Grammar School plays with the High School. Mr. Myers gives group lessons on the instru- ments each Wednesday morning in the high school gymnasium. Wednesday afternoons we go to the grammar school to practice all the instruments together. On February 16, 1949, the following officers were elected: President ....... . . . Bertrand Turmel Vice-President . .. .... Edward Fournier Secretary ............... Richard Rowe Treasurer . .. . . ............. Joan Foss Next year we hope to have uniforms and make public appearances. We have talked about the color of the uniforms but have not decided as yet what they should be. Some want the high school colors, orange and black. As soon as spring comes we will learn to march. We hope to play at football games and other occasions next year. We think we are very fortunate in having a fine teacher like Mr. Myers. GLEE CLUB The glee club this year, under the able direc- tion of Mrs. Petersen, has played an active part in the Iay High School activities. The club has 85 members. A At the first meeting the following oflicers were elected: President, Laurier Fournierg Vice- President, Gertrude Bergeron, Secretary-Treas- urer, Maxine Allen, Librarians, Rita Bergeron and Louise Therrien. A During the fall the glee club learned the songs of Stephen Foster for the program held at Murray Hall on November 19. The musical part of the entertainment was: Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair Marie Laure Rheaume Some Folks Do Chorus Oh Susanna Gladys Berube with Chorus Beautiful Dreamer Janice Spiller and Girls' Group Camptown Races Chorus Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming Laurier Fournier My Old Kentucky Home Conrad Thomas and Chorus Old Folks at Home Chorus For the rest of the year the time has been spent on music for the annual glee club concert which will be held in May. The program will include: The Shan Van Voght, Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones, Madame lean- nette, Home on the Range, The Whiffen- poof Songf' and two unusual arrangements by Fred Waring of The Battle Hymn of the Re- public ', and Dry Bonesf, The glee club is trying to imprint in the stu- dents' minds an understanding of and love for worthwhile music. We want everyone to realize that without music there would be little enjoyment, for music is what makes the world bright, gay, and worthwhile to all. CHEERLEADERS Eight cheerleaders were chosen at the begin- ning of the year by the advisor, Mrs. Smith. Doris Reed was elected captain. Others in the cheering section were: Anita Blais, Iacqueline Paradis, Evelyn Beaulieu, Arline Legere, An- nette Perron, Peggy Tibbetts, and Priscillien Henry. New black and orange satin uniforms were obtained by the cheerleaders by raffling off a twelve-pound turkey. To go with the new suits, many new cheers were made up, in which the page thirty-five cartwheel was often done by all the cheer- leaders. A new cheerleader, Grace Couture, joined the squad in Ianuary in place of Peggy Tibbetts, who was permitted a leaveof absence because of illness. new cheers. Next year we hope to have many HOT LUNCH PROGRAM This year at Iay High School a new cafeteria has been added. This worthy project enables the students to purchase their meals for the week for the price of 31.00. Our cooks, Mrs. Paradis and Mrs. Howes, have done a wonderful job. Some of the Home Economics students have co-operated in serving the lunches and washing the trays. Our lunches consist of: potatoes or soup, vegetables, meat or substitutes, bread and butter, and a bottle of chocolate or whole milk. Also, some sort of dessert is included each day. We are sure that the faculty, students, and parents have found this project very successful, and, through the years, may it continue to be as successful. DO YOU KNOW MAINE? Radio transcriptions from the Bates Manufac- turing Co. series, Do You Know Maine?', have been used in some of the English classes this year. These recordings, originally broad- cast over Station W.C.O.U., were borrowed page thirty-six from the State Department of Education. They give, in fifteen minute dramatic sketches, infor- mation on the history and legends of Maine. Some of the most interesting recordings were on How Maine Became a State, Peleg Wardsworth, Hero of '76,', Battle of the Boxer and the Enterprise fbackground of Longfellow's poemb, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and two on Robert P. Tristram CoHin. Iay High School appreciates very much the generosity of the Bailey Brothers Garage for the use of the machine for playing these sixteen inch recordings. In addition to the slow-revolv- ing turntable, the machine is equipped with a projector for film strips, which add greatly to the vividness of instruction. We have used a film strip on the home of Shakespeare to accom- pany our study of him and hope to make use of more pictures in the future. SCHOLARSHIP Again this year Mr. Alfred Alfond from the Norrwock Shoe Company at North Iay will award a four-year scholarship to the boy who is most outstanding in both sports and studies. This encourages a student not only to make good in his studies but also to be an outstand- ing player in some sport. Last year Rodney Howes from the Class of 1947 was chosen. He is now attending Colby College in VVaterville. A I u L E T I J C S w 4. FOOTBALL Front row, left to right: Eugene Dubord, Kenneth Howes, Robert Hoppe, Emilio Breton.

The Tiger football team was rated the second defensive team of the State in the small school class behind Mad- ison, the number one offensive and defensive team. On the first day of practice thirty-two candi- dates reported. Coach St. Pierre introduced the shift and T formation which proved highly suc- cessful. When the team opened the season at home against Lisbon Falls on September 25, the teams were evenly matched and played to a 12-12 deadlock. DeSoto went twenty yards to score in the first period, but Lisbon Falls tied the score in the quarter then went ahead 12-6. Doiron intercepted a pass and ran thirty yards to tie the score. The Orange and Black traveled to Kents Hill the following week with new uniforms and won 13-12. After two Kents Hill touchdowns, Adrien Fournier passed to Arthur Raymond for a seventy yard touchdownf Doiron passed to Arthur Raymond for the extra point to make it -4i,.,, - fu fm-awry.:-.y,.v,. 12-7 at the half. The first touchdown came in the fourth period when Kents Hill was forced to punt after stopping a fifty yard drive. Em- erie Richard blocked the punt and Billy Ouel- lette jumped on the ball across the goal line to put us ahead. Littleton, New Hampshire, where Mr. Knowles is assistant coach, traveled to lay on October 9. The lay forward wall stubbornly held the heavier Littleton team to a scoreless tie. Each team had golden opportunities but failed to score. Davenport recovered a Littleton fumble to spoil their chance of scoring. Little- ton held for four downs with five yards to go in the final canto. K The Tigers romped to a 19-0 victory over South Paris. Demers -kicking and the forward wall kept the opponents in their own territory all afternoon. Maillet went over from the three yard line after a forty yard drive, and Doiron went off tackle for the extra point for a 7-0 lead at the half. DeSoto tallied in the third quarter in a fifteen yard end run. Maillet again scored in the final period from the thirty yard line. lay stayed in the unbeaten class by defeating Richmond 27-0 at Richmond. Demers went twenty yards for the first tally and DeSoto raced eighty yards with an intercepted pass in the sec- ond period. The Tigers tallied two more times in the second half while N. Doiron booted one point after. In a home game against Williams High of Oakland, the Tigers came through, after a slow start in a mist, to a 32-0 triumph. In the second quarter DeSoto took a long pass from G. Doiron from the Williams' thirty-five yard line to score the first touchdown. N. Doiron con- verted for the point after. Demers followed with a fifteen yard touchdown behind good in- terference. N. Doiron again kicked the extra point. In the third period G. Doiron connected with DeSoto, who went twenty-live yards for another score, and minutes later DeSoto soloed for forty-five yards for another touchdown. The play of the game came in the final canto when DeSoto ran sixty-five yards ,off tackle without being touched. On Armistice Day, lay received its only set- back of the season at Livermore Falls 14-7. lay took the lead when G. Doiron went four yards through the line and DeSoto rushed the extra point. Livermore Falls tied the score and it stood 7-7 at the half. The Andies went ahead in the third quarter and in the final minutes were pressing for their third touchdown.

Iay had pushed to the five yard line when the game ended. Maillet, the capable quarterback, sprained his ankle in the latter part of the game after playing magnificently. The All-Franklin County eleven consisted of DeSoto at halfback, Maillet at quarterback, Ouellette at center, Duguay at guard, and Ray- mond at end. Coach St. Pierre was chosen the coach of the season while G. Doiron, Demers, Richard, Gilbert, and Nemi made honorable mention.

They are trying to arrange games with Rumford and Kents Hill for this spring. The Freshman Class has some very promis- ing players. I. Purington will no doubt be a good relief pitcher, while L. Therrien is just the man H we need in left field. The players reporting for practice are: G. Bergeron, C. Ouellette, V. Gonnella, L. Ther- rien, I. Cheli, C. Roy, G. Bradeen, A. Pineau, B.

BOYS' BASKETBALL The Iay Tigers enjoyed a successful season on the polished surfaces this winter by winning fifteen games and losing eleven. The team en- tered the Franklin County Tournament and Western Maine Tourney only to be defeated each time by Farmington, the State Champions, in the Semi-Finals. In their first game of the season against Strong, the boys made a good showing with a 51-23 win. ' For the second time in these last two years, Iay won both games from Livermore Falls High School. In the first game, December 16, the Iay Tigers took over their old rival by a close mar- gin of two points. With fifteen seconds left to play, Lawrence Bryant shot the winning basket. The second Iay-Livermore game was quite different as Iay outclassed its rival 37-29. Clar- ence Bryant was high scorer with 19 points. Another very good game came on February 4 when Iay met Wilton and lost by one basket in an overtime period. The score was 34-36 with Toothaker of Wilton high scorer with 16 points. In the county tourney, Iay made a poor show- ing in losing two out of three games, coming out in fourth place. On the following Monday the Tigers played Lincoln of Newcastle, Maine, to see whether Lincoln or Iay would play in the State tourney. The Tigers defeated Lincoln easily by a score of 43-27. Iay met Scarborough in the first round of the State tourney and defeated them by one point. That put the Tigers in the semi-finals, but they could not stop Farmington, who defeated them 35-23. Next year, basketball prospects are good with the- return of Iohnson, Labbe, Ouellette, Four- nier, and Doiron.

The New Englander is famous for his indus- triousnessg the tramp is equally well known for his lack of industry. This is 'what happened one day when one of each, neither of whom was overly ambitious, met. Farmer Iones was looking over his huge potato field, proudly, and yet a little doubtfully. There were an awful lot of potatoes in that field to be dug up, so he decided that the only thing to do would be to get some help. As he was walking around the east side of the Held, he noticed a tramp ambling slowly down the tracks which ran along the field. Without thinking of the reputation generally given to such a person, Farmer Iones yelled to the man. Say there, he called, would you like to earn a few dollars and a couple good meals? Well, now, came the languid reply, what would I have to do? lust help me with these 'taters. They've got to be dug real soon, stated Iones hopefully. Wee-el, now, tell me, who planted them 'taters? inquired the tramp, leaning on the fence. Why, I did, of coursef' answered the startled farmer. Well, then, countered the tramp starting on, better you dig 'em 'cause you know just where they're atf' page forty-five ALUM 1948 Armandi, Irene - Employed Norrwock Shoe Company fofiicej, North Iay, Maine Balsamo, Corinna - Bryant S: Stratton Busi- ness College, Boston, Massachusetts Breton, Louise - Employed I.
