Class History FRESHMAN CLASS During our Freshman year we were well represented in sports with John Day and George Ritchie on the football squad. Merton Clark and Paul LeBrun also displayed their ability in bas- ketball. Joan Beane, Betty Coombs, Nancy Dav- is, Joan Hall, Barbara Jack, Edna Littlefield, and Pauline Thyng helped to make up our girls' team. Mildred Davis, Shirley McKay, Mary Lee Smith, and Nancy Wentworth cheered our teams to victory. Our officers for our first year in high school were: President, Paul LeBrun, Vice-President, Edna Littlefield, Secretary, George Ritchie: Our class still liked sports.

Those who really shone were Claire Adams, Barbara Jack, Allen Pawlowski, Donald Nelson, Joan Beane, and John Grace. Robert Bennett, Merton Clark, John Day, Paul LeBrun, George Ritchie, Robert Water- house, and Douglas Welch helped to carry that pigskin down the field. In basketball Paul Le- Brun, George Ritchie, and Robert Waterhouse scored for our good old K.H.S. John Day, Gil- bert Johnson, and Douglas Welch batted in those runs in baseball.

SENIOR CLASS After the Prom we were released from school for two months to prepare for the coming re- sponsibility of being Seniors. This was it! The year we had been so patiently waiting for-our last year together which would pass so quickly because of the innumerable things we as Seniors had to do. This year the Kennebunkport High School students were transferred to Kennebunk. What we would have done without them this year we do not know. The Kennebunkport students were: Frank Bradbury, Dana Campbell, Lewis Clough, Donald Dill, Celia Drown, Betsy Dun- ton, Joan Eldridge, Carolyn Nunan, Janet Sea- vey, Corey Thompson, Murray Ward, Theodore Wildes, and Joan Woodward. In football we had Robert Bennett, Merton Clark, Edmund Cooper, John Day, Donald Dill, Lindsay Going, Gilbert Johnson, Captain, Paul Lebrun, George Ritchie, Corey Thompson, Mur- ray Ward, Robert Waterhouse, and Theodore Wildes. In baseball we had John Day, Gilbert Johnson, Paul LeBrun, Corey Thompson, Murray Ward, Douglas Welch, and Theodore Wildes, Co- Captains. Basketball was supported by Celia Drown, Joan Hall, and Frances Black as the manager. Our Senior Play brought out a great deal of hidden talent in the dramatic field.

The first to be mentioned this year is the QUAM- PHEGAN of Berwick Academy. Their book has a very interesting and unusual front cover. The book itself provides very enjoyable reading. Next on our list is the M. H. S, BULLDOG of Madison High School. This book has an excellent literary section which includes many interest- ing articles. The OUTLOOK shows that the students of Porter High School have used originality in preparing their literary section. The Poet's Corner is especially good. Their jokes are also entertaining. At West Paris High School the students prove that they are interested in world-wide affairs. The editorials in the NAUTILUS are written on the current events of the day and make interesting reading. The CRESCENT of the Samuel D. Hanson High School at Buxton has a complete Alumni section. It must have required a great deal of time and patience to check up on all their former students. Very well done! This year we plan to exchange with the following schools: Madison and Biddeford High Schools, Traip Academy, York, Limerick, Winthrop, Hollis, and West Paris High Schools. l32l CLASS OFFICERS OF GRADE 7 Student Council President .. ,.

Great Britain had one in the day of King John. The Bill of Rights was not written at the time of our Constitution but a few years later. Of the twelve proposed amendments, ten were ratified in the year 1791. They bound only the national government but did not limit the power of the individual states. The rights are as fol- lows: freedom of religion, speech, and press, right to bear arms, the quartering of troops, protection against search, the individual guaranteed protection in trial and the right to his life, his liberty, and propertyg rights of an accused person in criminal cases, suits at common law, bails, rights not enumerated, power reserved to states and the people. Our culture is built around the idea for the square orrectangle. We speak of the four corners of the earthn, the corner post. The majority of homes are built with square corners. So too, do we think of this Bill of Rights as having four corner posts and these are: The Freedom of the Press, the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of Assembly, and the Free- dom of Petition. The Freedom of the Press is a right without which most people would be lost. The cartoons of men in high places that we like to look at and that tell us so much about them are good. All men in public life are likely to wake up in the morning and find themselves the laugh of a cartoon. No party can be sure that their political leaders will not be pictured for both good and bad policy. Cartoons help many people to choose party leaders, for they never read two sides to a story unless the cartoons are good enough to arouse the interest of the people to vote. Freedom of Speech! Now what is this freedom of speech? Congress may not, nor may any state or local legislature, deny us the right to speak freely on matters of public concern. During World War II, our late Presi- dent Roosevelt said, I say this: you have a most grave responsibility to the nation now and for the duration of the War. Freedom of Assembly: There has been some trouble in maintaining free- dom of assembly, for some local governments have sometimes been inclined to deny it on the excuse that it would interfere with keeping of order. A meeting must be peaceful, for there is no right of a riotous assembly. This freedom then means keeping within the law passed by the local state and national government. Freedom of Petition: A petition is a request signed by a few or many citizens to render the service required for the citizens of the locality in E361 which they live. In election years, such as we are in now, in the petition is the basis for obtaining candidates for office. What is this freedom that is talked about so much as if it were the only mighty and glorious thing in this world? It is the freedom for which men have fought, written songs, and sung hymns of praise. There were many different ideas about this at the time of the writing of the constitution and Bill of Rights, which are still puzzling the American people. Men like Thomas Jeierson and James Madison argued, from the writing of men before them, that all men once lived in a State of Nature, that is, without a government at all. They agreed to government only if they could keep the condition of this blissful freedom they had enjoyed. Today if there were no governments, what would freedom be like? Your home and belongings would be yours only as long as you could keep them from others who desired them. Your Freedom of Speech would be yours only as long as you dared to talk and could knock down the guy who told you to hold your tongue. If the rights we have today were like those of far past centuries, would you or I be where we are today in peace and opportunity or our nation in power and prosperity? But these rights of today will not be ours if we do not defend them at all times. So a right, either written or un- written, is only as strong as the public opinion which supports it. The Bill of Rights means something only as long as it is the confession of faith of the citizens of the United States of America. It has a reality only as long as the citizens keep a controlling and fighting interest in the gov- ernment so that this government will have to enforce those rights to the full extent. You by no means really inherit a right, you inherit only a willingness to defend and fight for a right which is yours by the WILL OF GOD. So a right is yours only as far as you dare to use it. Each right has two dangerous sides to it, too much freedom or too little freedom either is dangerous. You may do as you please so long as you do not carry the freedom too far. If every one did as he pleased, no one could do as he pleased, for he would interfere with other people's rights so much that all would get to fighting. So in defining your rights it is important that you do not interfere with other people's rights. For example, if I myself with a barrel for a stool perched in the middle of Main Street of Kennebunk reading you the bill of rights, would I be in- terfering with other people's rights! So letts be careful about using our bill of rights so they will last for ever to serve us and those that follow after us in centuries to come. .MIAYNARD WELCH, '50 I 37 l WHATS IN A NAME?

It seems that I can neither listen to the radio in comfort nor read a book without having to tell David to keep out of the cupboard, warn Arthur to stop picking fights with his sister, or beg Web to go outdoors if he wants to whoop like an Indian. The larger the family, the bigger the houseg and the bigger the house, the colder it seems to be. I-Iow cold it is about half past six in the morn- ing! Any sensible person would stay in bed for ten more minutes-fifteen if he dared. Ten minutes is my limit. At 7 o'clock I'm usually next to the fire, rubbing out the kinks and trying to absorb a little heat before someone else crowds me out. Every day in a large family is an eventful day, and every individual tries to relate his own activities at the supper table. Nobody knows what anyone is saying until Dad tells the rest to pipe down and one person gets the Hoor. In a large family accidents are common. On one occasion Web broke off his front teeth while coasting down over a hill on a pair of wagon wheels. The wagon stopped, but Web didn't. Result-missing teeth and unhappy Web. It was also quite an occasion when David hit John on the head with a shovel, and another bit of excitement when David hacked open his bare foot with an ax. None of us will forget the time Ma choked on a fish bone. We took turns whacking her on the back. No favorable results occurred until she drank a pail of water and ate three pieces of dry bread. No fish need ever again be afraid of my motherls eating him. Something we Cluffs are noted for is our supply of cats. They seem to multiply by the dozens. The family was started by Suzy. Every one thought she was a male until one morning she came carrying a kitten into the house. From then on we've had cats galore. Dad hasn't the heart to drown themg he even brings stray ones home. Two years ago, all of my brothers owned rabbits and raised them. First Robie would get sick of them and sell them to Arthur. Then Arthur decided that it wasn't profitable and sold them to Web. Since Web was rather neglectful of the rabbits' care, they fell to my mother and me. It was a happy day for us both when the neighbors bought them. At present our family is a little smaller. Some are working away on a farm. One stays with my aunt. Now I notice that my mother and father look my way sometimes-a new and delightful experience for me. Under the present conditions I think I shall stay home a while longer.

This endless waiting is enough to drive anyone mad. I swear the hands on my watch haven't moved for ten minutes. Hurry! Hurry! What in the world can be keeping the man? He was to be here twenty minutes ago. Do you suppose the rain has held him up? Maybe he won't come at all? No, the rain will not stop him. He's probably coming around the corner now. It only that hedge werenlt in the way, I could probably see him fighting his way against the wind to reach the shelter of the walk. If I could only sit down and relax instead of pacing the floor like a mad womani I Wish that wind would stop its constant screaming for a moment so that I could think. Who. in heaven's name, could relax, or even think, with that horrible scream- ing combined with the rain beating against the windows? I won't think of the past week of waiting. Yes, thatls all I've really done for seven days is wait-wait and hope-wait and hope-only to feel that hope die slowly as the days creeped by. I'm still waiting--not patiently now, not even anxiously, but desperately, quite desperately. Illl just make myself think of the enchanting days of last summer when all my hours from morning to night were filled with swimming, tennis, parties and all the other carefree amusements of youth. Those days seem years away now, and my carefree hours far, far behind me. A great deal has happened to me since then. and I have discovered that fate can be cruel and that the world really owes me nothing at all. I can remember distinctly that glorious night that Jim came into my life. Some- thing seemed to happen to us the moment we met, and from that time on every- thing was like a story. We danced until very lateg then Jim drove me home and we watched the stars gleam wickedly at us as the breeze tossed our hair merrily about our faces. That night marked the beginning and eventually the end of everything beautiful in my life. I 'can still remember Jim's asking me shyly if he could call the next night. My heart stood completely still, for I was so pleased that I couldnit even answer. Jim must have thought I was trying to say' no without hurting his feelings because he finally said I didn't have to explain if I was busy. It must have taken me fifteen minutes to make him believe that I really wanted to go with him. As long as I live in this cruel world, I'll never forget that wonderful night. The rest of the summer continued in the same manner. That glorious day of boating on the lake and that picnic in the mountains, the time we walked in the rain for an hour and both came down with a cold that kept us housed for a week, the time the canoe upset and we had to swim for shore in our best clothes, our first quarrel and the making up-I can see them all, running through my mind like a reel. Yes, everything was perfect. Life was wonderful then. Soon, however, it hap- pened, He had to go. They forced him to. He wanted to stayg I know he did, but they made him go anyway. Now . . . I-Iark! Is that someone coming? . . . No, itls only the rain. I wish I could see farther down the street . . . Wait! . . . Is that he? Oh, please Lord, it has to be he! Why does that hedge have to be in the way? Yes! Yes! Here he comes. I know he's old, but does he have to walk so awfully slow? Oh, he's coming up the walk. I must be a fool. Iive given up all hope now. I wish I were a thousand miles from here. There he goes back into the merciless rain. If I can only get away before I . . . What mother? Yes, I know it was the mailman For me? Oh, mother, I'm so happy I could cry. I just knew he'd write. I never doubted it for a minute. Oh, this is too good to be true. I can't wait to tell the girls at school tomorrow. Won't they be envious, mother? Imagine going to Harvard for a weekend party sometime. I'm so glad Jim talked his parents into letting him go away to college. Oh, mother, life is wonderful, just . . . oh, grand. CLAIRE M.

VAIL Under the direction of the Council four movies have been shown: Manhunt , Heidi , Lloyd's of London and f'Drums Along the Mohawk . Monitors were chosen to keep traffic moving one way and to stop loitering in the corridors. Chief monitor is Warren Wentworth. The Student Council helped Mr. Morton in his Outing Club, which has proved to be very successful. Donald Nelson and Nelson Wentworth represented our Student Council this year at Water- ville. They discovered that most Student Councils have the same problems as we do, and they gathered some suggestions in solutions of these problems. A general assembly was held on December 17, in the high school gym to get the students' opinion on bills and to get suggestions. The points for discussion were: fl? How can the student council better serve the students and the school? L21 Do we need a smoking room? Q39 Can girls' basketball games be played at night? L41 What is a merit system? This assembly proved to be very successful. Nelson Wentworth was nominated as a representative to meet with the faculty, when invited, to give the Student Council's opinion on problems. HIGH SCHOOL BAND The High School Band is having another successful year under the direction of Mr. Everett E. Firth and assistants, Mr. John Cella, instructor in Woodwinds and flutes, and Mr. Robert Ramsdell, instructor in percussion instruments. Although the band lost a number of its most valuable mem- bers in last yearis graduating class, it still has forty members who get a great deal of fun and satisfaction playing for various occasions throughout the school year. The band played at a number of football games in the fall, both on the home field and away. A few selections were played at the Senior Play in November. Christmas selections were played at the Community Sing, given by the Junior and Senior Classes for the benefit of the Washington Trip Funds. The local Lions Club were sponsors. Preparations for the Band Concert in March were underway early in the year. In the month of May the band went to the Western Maine Festival in Brunswick, Maine, and to the New England Music Festival at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. It will be remembered that in the spring of i947 the local Schubert Club, at their annual Music Week Community Concert, raised enough money to send two members to the Maine Music Camp. Those students, Nelson Wentworth, trombonist, and Jean Macdonald, clarinetist, came back and told of their experience with great enthusiasm. BAND MEMBERS Trumpets: Betty Cameron, Nancy Coleman, Ernest Edelstein, Barbara Davis, Jimmy Macdon- ald, Joan Maling, Bill Smith, Robert Stuart, Marlene Green.

For three days before the event the new members performed such feats as wearing comic dress, singing I Love You Truly to old members, and wearing bibs at lunch. In November, with Edna Littlefield as chairman, the new girls took part in a formal initiation. Rela- tives and friends attended, refreshments were served, and movies shown. In December the girls began money making projects. Pencils were sold to the student body. This club also makes an attempt to help others .not so fortunate. At Christmas, baskets of food and gifts were sent to two needy families. In January our Program Chairman read the program for the rest of the year's meetings as follows: February 9-Mrs. Gerritson will demonstrate knitting to the girls. March 8-A faculty member will talk on the subject of Learning to Apply the Budget Prin- ciple to Discourage Long Tasks, as well as giving a report on college finances for the average high school graduate. March 22-Personality tests will be given to the members by some of the high school faculty. April 5-Miss Hartt will tell the girls ways of getting the best possible vocational guidance, and members who have chosen their vocation will tell how they went about it. April 19-Members of the Senior Class will tell the club about their Washington trip. May 3-The topic of the meeting will be An Intelligent Choice of a Vocation, with a faculty member presiding. Meetings are held twice a month. The club limits itself to thirty members. Membership is open every fall to the three upper classes in the high school.

CHESS CLUB A club that holds unusual interest for its members is the Chess Club. It was organized four years ago by Mrs. Edith Nunan, who has also been the advisor since that time. This year's officers are: President, Robert Pickett, Vice-President, Warren Wentworthg Secretary, Ronald Roseg Treas- urer, Glendon Johnson. The thirty-five members, six of whom are girls, hold their meetings every Thursday morning during the Activity Period. At this time the club is fortunate to have Mr. Ephross teach the funda- mentals, strategy, and tactics of chess. For novelty he sometimes plays the members blindfolded. The students are very grateful to Mr. Ephross for his assistance and the interest which he has shown in their club for the last four years. A Rapid Transit Tournament was held on Open House Day at K.H.S. last fall. Matches with Sanford High School and one with a greater Portland High School have also taken place. Last year the annual school tournament was run from March to May. Robert Pickett was the winner. E451 ART CLUB DRAMATIC CLUB Art Club The Art Club is an elective subject for the Senior High School. Every Thursday morning, during Activity period the members spend their time with charcoal sketch- ing, water colors, and poster painting under the able direction of the instructor, Miss Gertrude Young. Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club opened its season in the fall with Mrs. Milton Hall as its director. President ......,..,.. ,..... D onald Nelson Vice-President .,..,. .,... N ancy Coleman Secretary .,..........,....,... .. .... Barbara Jack Thespian Secretary ...... . Mildred Davis Treasurer ..,..,.....,......,.., .. .,...,. ..... William Smith There are over fifty members, nineteen of whom are new this year. Dues are fifty cents per year. A costumed recital, presented by Wesley Boynton, tenor, and Morse Haithwaite, pianist, on October 17, was sponsored by the Dramatic Club. This program was made possible by the Teachers, Club of Kennebunk as their first step towards establishing a Scholarship Fund to help worthy K.H.S. graduates. Mr. Boynton rendered selections from five Guilbert and Sullivan operettas, as well as numbers from Carousel , Finian's Rainbowv, Song of Norway , and 'iBrigadoonl'. The program was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire student body. A quiz program planned by the club was presented at an assembly in February. Club members submitted questions and answers. The best of these questions were selected to be asked to a group of students, to be chosen from each of the senior high school classes. This was presented in the form of a radio program. Other activities the club participated in this year are the one-act play contest, the Thespian Initiation and Banquet, and the Spring Drama Festival. It is the aim of the club to raise enough money eventually to buy backdrops for the stage in the high school gymnasium. E471 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB BOYS GLEE CLUB ' Girls' Glee Club The Girls, Glee Club in the past few years has been directed by Miss Ruth Perkins, supervisor of music in the local schools. At their first meeting in September the following officers were elected for the school year: President . ........,....,.,........... ......... B etty Day Secretary and Treasurer ..,,. ......., J une Lindquist Librarian .................,...........,. .......,....,...,.,......,.. E leanor Meserve The club voted to assess fifty cents as dues for the year. Meetings are held regularly every Monday morning during the Activity Period. The club has fifty members representing all four grades in the high school. Constance Googins accom- panies them at the piano, and both classical and semi-classical music is sung. The girls sang with the newly organized Boys' Glee Club at the Community Sing, December 19. In March the club presented a program for the Webhannett Club. Appearances were also made at the Band Concert, the National Music 'Week program and graduation. The object of this club is to learn more about worthwhile music and to present it to others in an enjoyable and pleasing manner. Boys' Glee Club Early last fall a great deal of discussion went on in the school concerning a Boys' Glee Club. So much enthusiam was shown that Miss Pearl Hartt willingly offered to organize and direct this club. The boys have appreciated this and are very grateful to Miss Hartt for giving her time to them. Jean MacDonald accom- panies them at the piano. The following officers were recently elected: President .........,..,. ...,....., .,..,.,............. . . . ........,... Robert Pickett Vice-President ..... .,..,.. ,.....,.. J o hn Day Secretary-Treasurer .,.... ,.l. .......,.......,..,.,... ........ . . . Walter Day There are twenty boys in the club representing all four classes in the high school. Rehearsals are held every Monday morning during the Activity Period. They have worked on a number of songs, the most recent being The Lord's Prayer . At the Community Sing, December 19, the boys sang with the Girls, Glee Club. It is hoped that they will make more appearances in the future. E491 OUTING CLUB CARNIVAL QUEEN CANDIDATES Outing Club The Outing Club held its first meeting in September shortly after school opened. The following officers were elected: President ............,......,,...... ,...,..,.... D onald Nelson Vice-President .....,. ..,.... R obert Waterhouse Secretary , ..... , ...... ....................... ,........ M i ldred Davis Treasurers Warren Wentworth, first half year-Nancy Towler, second half year For the third successive year the club is under the able and enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Morton. This is the third year the club has run the towel service for the school's gym classes. Each gym class has a student appointed who is responsible for the towels used in his gym classes. Five cents is paid per towel, and at intervals the towels are collected and washed. The club has worked to build a skating rink behind the high school. The swamp was dug out, and boys from the club helped Mr. Morton flood the area. The rink is 200 feet by 85 feet. Both students and adult season tickets were sold as well as admission tickets to those who do not have season tickets. The rink officially opened January 15 with many people on hand to try their luck. Kennebunk was badly in need of a safe place for its young people to skate this winter. The Outing Club has worked hard to satisfy this need. Plans were made for the entire club to travel by bus to the Winter Carnival held in Rumford, February 7. This proved a Worthwhile trip, and the members will long remember it. The annual Carnival Ball put on by this group was scheduled for February 14 with Nancy Wentworth as chairman. Vic Firth's Orchestra from Sanford played, and the dance was run caberet style as it was last year. From candidates repre- senting the four high school classes a Carnival Ball Queen was chosen and her name announced at the Ball. The candidates were: Frances Lewia, June Bunnell, Betty Day, Betty Bolton, Iola Grey, and Shirley McKay. Yearly dues for the Outing Club are fifty cents. The proceeds go to the numerous club benelits. E511 x ., !

BASEBALL TRACK BASEBALL The prospects of the '48 baseball season for K. H. S. are very bright, with Co-Captains Ted Wildes, a veteran shortstop, and Douglas Welch, an outstanding outfielder leading the team. Other veterans include Warren Wentworth, who will probably play second base, and Murray Ward, a good bet for third. Although the schedule is not finished, probable games will be two contests with each of the fol- lowing schools: Berwick Academy, Old Orchard, Traip Academy, York, and St. Ignatius. In league competition are Sanford, Wells, and Eliot. With everyone but Dorance Evans, Freddie Town, and the Going brothers back from last year the season should be a great success. TRACK Very little needs to be said about the K. H. S. track team because every- one knows about their ability. Last year the boys eased through county corn- petition and went undefeated until the State meet, where the boys came up with a sturdy fourth place. With the exception of Boothby and Tomlinson everyone is back from last year. Although these two will be greatly missed, the boys will still be one of the finest track teams around this year. The boys traveled to Bowdoin Inter-Scholastics, where Captain Dyer ran third in low hurdles to give Kennebunk one point. Also the relay team should be one of the finest around. At Bowdoin they ran against Fryeburg Academy and would have won except that Captain Dyer, who was anchorman, ran his heart out and was in the lead but collapsed ten yards from the finish line to give Fryeburg the victory. As soon as the boys can get a workout and a little training, they will be the team to win. Although the schedule is not complete, probably meets will be held with Sanford. Wells, Traip, Old Orchard, Cheverus, Scarboro, and the County and State meets. The latter should see Kennebunk right among the foremost. Much credit goes to Mr. Hobbs, who has molded this track team into a team that everyone can be proud of. t55l FOOTBALL CHEERLEADERS FOOTBALL, N47 The 1947 football season got underway when K. H. S. traveled to Sanford and completely dominatedwthe play to whip St. Ignatius 20-0 at Goodall Park. The Bunkies showed plenty of fight and great prospects for the future. The second game saw Kennebunk at Berwick Academy. The resulting game was a hard fought battle, both teams holding the lead at different times. Time ran out with the team deep in Ber- wick territory, the score 13-13. The following Friday saw K. H. S. step out of its class to play Sanford High, a Class A school. The Bunkies, playing inspired ball under the arc lights, forced larger Sanford to go all out before dropping a l2-0 decision. Although the Bunkies lost the game, they made many friends for their brave efforts. Using the tactics of the previous game with Sanford, the Bunkies completely out-classed a strong Kennet team to the tune of 27-0 at Conway. The Bunkies, playing their finest game of the season, deserved to win. The following home game saw Kennebunk play host to Exeter High. The Bunkies, although not playing their usual game, played a hard ground game, but the superior passing offence of Exe- ter proved the difference and so the game ended 27-0. Determined to break into the win column, K.H.S. traveled to Hampton the following Satur- day. With Hampton leading 19-O at the end of the first half, the never-say-die Bunkies suddenly caught fire and ripped across two quick touchdowns and an extra point to almost knot the score, but once again time ran out to leave the Bunkies on the short end of a 19-13 score. The seventh game saw K.H.S. play its traditional rival, Old Orchard High. The game was played under very unusual conditions. The field was covered with about two inches of loose dirt and a strong wind prevailed. Under these conditions the game went scoreless for three periods, but late in the fourth period the Bunkies roared across the winning touchdown to clinch one of the hardest fought battles of the season. On Armistice Day Kennebunk played host to a classy Westbrook combine. This team was much the larger and ran off two quick touchdowns the first half before the Bunkies began to move. Late in the second half Kennebunk made a touchdown, but the rally was too late. Westbrook gained the victory, 13-6. The last game of the season was played the same week with a championship team from Win- throp, which passed and ran to a 25-0 victory over Kennebunk. Although beaten through the whole game, the boys refused to give in and showed plenty of fight throughout the game. We all should take our hats off to a very successful K.H.S. football team, the team of '47, In the group we will salute this year's lettermen: Robert Waterhouse, George Ritchie, Hale Whitehouse, Nelson Welch, William Smith, Robert Bennett, James Beauford, Robert Jackson, Murray VVard, Cap- tain Paul LeBrun, Wesley Gordon, Robert Sampson, Wesley Leech, Theodore Wildes, Russell Clark, John Day, Manager Warren Wentworth, Merton Clark, and many deserving stars of future years, Mar- shall, Boston, A. Stinson, Burgess, H. Black, Goodrich, Cantara, Bath, Snow, LeBarge, F. Black. But no salute to the team would be complete without one to our very able coach, Mr. Bod- well, whose never-ending efforts with the aid of ex-star Herbert Boothby, led the team ever for- ward. CHEERLEADERS At the beginning of the football season this year nine cheerleaders went to work to help make our football games a success, Many new cheers and formations resulted from practising diligently every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. The girls' uniforms, proudly worn for the first time in foot- ball season, helped to make these formations better. Several rallies were held, both during the football and basketball seasons. With Mr. Keans' help, all old and new cheers were mimeographed and distributed to the student body. This helped the students to give the cheerleaders and teams better support at games. Coaches and other faculty members gave helpful talks on school spirit, and one rally was highlighted by a demonstration foot- ball play. Moving pictures taken at a football game by Don Nelson were enjoyed at a midyear rally. With Miss Hartt's help the school song has become much better known and all students can now join in the singing of it. The cheerleaders feel that their efforts this year have not been in vain and are ready to give the same enthusiasm to the cause in the next season. The members this year were: Eleanor Burr, head cheerleader, Eleanor Joyce, secretary, Mar- jorie Gooch, treasurer, Barbara Thyng, Frances Lewia, Lorraine Plante, Marilyn York, Roberta Pom- erleau, Carolyn MacDonald, Barbara Jack, manager. l57l GIRLS' BASKETBALL BOYS' BASKETBALL GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year for the first time all girls' basketball games have been played in the afternoon instead of in the evening as in past years. The team is largely made up of Freshmen and Sophomores with only a few Juniors and two Seniors starting the season. In spite of some losses the girls show a great deal of promise as possible winning team for next year. Of the future stars the most outstanding one will probably be Varrell Gordon. During her year on the squad she scored 150 points. Estelle Plante and Astrid Bridle, the little forwards, are also prospective star players. The first game was with a new rival, Cape Elizabeth, to whom we lost, 24-35. As one old rival, Kennebunkport, is now a part of our school, Wells took its place as our important game. Kennebunk won both games played with Wells. The team played Traip Academy, December 18, and lost, 16-19g but it was a good game and showed good sportsmanship. Celia Drown, a senior, came through with ten of the sixteen points scored. June Bunnell scored the other six. The game with San- ford also ended with a close score, 18-22 in favor of Sanford. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The Junior Varsity of K.I-I.S. played preliminary games in a very successful season this year. They might have gone on undefeated if the Varsity had not drafted so many of them. The first game was with St. Ignatius at Sanford. The Jayvees had little trouble downing the inexperienced St. Ignatius five, 38-25. This was followed by two impressive victories over Class A schools, Sanford 26-20, West- brook, which was a thriller, 33-31, then another one with Traip 42-40. After these struggles Kennebunk had no trouble with York, turning them back 42-24. Dyer was the key gun for Kennebunk. After this came St. Louis with the boys in top form although without the services of Currier. This was a good contest with the Bunkies beating St. Louis, 48-30. Three more victories followed, Wells 53-18, Traip 32-18, and Thornton 46-42, to make it nine victories in as many starts. Then came Thornton again with a thriller of the season with the game ending in a tie as a result of a foul called on Kennebunk. The Cager from Thornton walked to the line and swished it through to give Kenne- bunk its first defeat in ten starts. The final score was Thornton 25, K.H.S. 24. I might add also that Kennebunk was without the services of Black who had been promoted to the Varsity. This was followed by two defeats at the hands Old Orchard and St. Ignatius, the latter by only one point, 19-20. Once again Kenne- bunk climbed back on its horse to run over York 46-24. Then came the return game with Old Orchard, which was a thriller, with the Freshmen easily outplaying the Jayvees who replaced them in the second period final score, 31-33, for Old Orchard. This was followed by two more defeats to make a total of six losses, the defeats being dealt by St. Louis, 23-42, and Sanford, 38-46. The final game saw Kennebunk wallop Wells 42-19 to close a very successful season for K.H.S. This team has surely shown some great prospects for next year's varsity. We should look for a championship team in '48-'49 . The Junior Varsity's record is twelve victories against only six defeats. BOYS' VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD With four lettermen back from last year's squad Kennebunkis basketball season got under way. The first game was with St. Ignatius at Sanford with Kennebunk dropping the encounter 40-51 after losing five men via foul route. After this fol- E591 lowed three defeats at the hands of Sanford, 28-50: Westbrook, 29-45g and Wayland, Massachusetts at the Boston Garden, where the boys put on a great show but were edged 23-29, with Baum and Waterhouse accounting for all the points, the former 11, and the latter 12. Next followed the Traip game with a J. V., Ralph Currier, scoring ll points in the second half to give Kennebunk their first win, 30-24. Then came the York game: York 47, Kennebunk 35. Again spurred by Currier, Kennebunk ran over Class A St. Louis to the tune of 43-34. This was followed by a madhouse game with Wells High, the Southern York County champions of '483', in which Kennebunk edged Wells, 40-38 with Jake Jackson adding the winning basket with but ten seconds to go. Kennebunk riding high, ran over Traip Academy for the second time, 58-32 at K.H.S. gym. This was followed by a 23-42 defeat at the hands of strong Thornton Academy, with Phil Hale and Jackson doing the work for Kennebunk. The fol- lowing Friday Kennebunk traveled to Thornton to avenge the defeat, but we turned back 22-32 after a great rally failed to halt the Sacoites. This was followed by a heart breaker with Old Orchard. With but 30 seconds to go, trailing 46-45, Old Orchard sent in MacDonald who promptly sunk a one-hander from mid-court to give Old Orchard a thriller, 46-47. Hale was outstanding for Kennebunk with 22 points. St. Ignatius came next. K.H.S. led by Herbery Baum, easily put down the Saints, 45-27. To make up for an earlier defeat. Once again Kennebunk met York only to be turned back in the final seconds when Bridges sunk a hard one from the mid-court, final score, 43-40 for York. Again Kennebunk was sparked by Phil Hale. Next came the thriller of the year, the Old Orchard game, with Kennebunk out to avenge the earlier heartbreaker. With the game about over and Old Orchard trailing 36-38, Coin swished one from mid-court at the gun to force it into an overtime period. With Hale, Wentworth, and Smith missing on fouls earlier in the second half, things didn't look too good for Kennebunk. As the overtime period got underway, LeBrun switched one to give Kennebunk a 40-38 lead, but then Blake came back to knot the score at 40 all. With the overtime period more than half over Farmer sunk a foul shot to give Old Orchard a 41-40 lead. The crowd Went wild. But with only a few seconds remaining in the game, Waterhouse threw in a rebound and the game ended with Kennebunk 42, Old Orchard 41. Next came St. Louis with Kennebunk fighting uphill all the Way. The final score was 43-54. In the last game of the season before the tournament, Kennebunk was walloped by Sanford, 37-62. The Bunkie-s were trapped in San- ford's match box hall. Holding a tie for a second in our league with York, Kenne- bunk entered the Southern York County Tournament held in Wells. The pairing pitted Kennebunk against Traipin the first game. Kennebunk had twice beaten Traip. This was an easy victory with Hale sparking the Bunkies-K.H.S. 41, Traip 29. The semi-finals saw Kennebunk's downfall when they were beaten by classy Berwick Academy team, 31-37, but much praise goes to team for fighting back from a 9-21 first half. In the consolation game Kennebunk was edged in a thriller 38-48, and so ended the season of 47-48 with Kennebunk winning 7 and losing 14. In spite of the predominance of losses it is to be noted that the Kennebunk schedule was the most difficult played in years. Noteworthy achievements were the defeats of Old Orchard, league champions, in one game, and of Wells Ctourney winnersb in another. So it is also to be remembered that St. Louis, a good class team, was forced to bow to Kennebunk by a handsome margin in another game. The team's main handicap was lack of experience and of a nucleus of veteran players. June should eliminate this problem, and with but two players of the twelve-man squad graduating, Kennebunk next season should be one of the outstanding Class B teams in Maine. E501 www s' 1 e,+f!,rf 'vr'?'W'f L . THE CLASS OF 1909 The Class of 1909 is the most famous and infamous for one and the same reason. We were that sagacious group who initiated the practice of graduating classes at- tending Washington, D. C., but that was when you could do it for !B25.00. That should be enough to establish our roleg but little did we realize that as an older generation, some of us would pay for such recklessness. The Class of 1909 is sparsely spread over the continent. Helen Hussey is in Arizonag Mary Dow fRangerD lives in Richmond, Va., with husband and two daugh- ters, Helen Thomas 1FosterD son and daughter lives in Waterbury, Conng and Helen Baldwin CCar1eyJ is in Connecticut. Margaret Tvedt CWrightl lives in Vermont and Etta Bowdoin CChappellD is in Biddeford. Florence Day is teaching in Brunswick High School. The boys-or shall I say old men -are in New England. Harold Bowdoin is with Upjohn and Leland Ross is an accountantg both of them in Boston. Lincoln Morton is in New York, with Richard Hudnut. Frank Taylor and I have held forth in the town for a considerable stretch, There are others whose where- abouts I cannot at this time determine, but needless to say, they are living up to the tradition of the honorable class-or more so.

Despite the fact that Kent now operates more than a dozen stores in Cumberland and York Counties, Ken- nebunk remains our headquarters, the site of our plant and of our number one store. Kent people are Kennebunk people and Kennebunk's youth are our sons and daughters. Soon some of them, too, will be Kent folks, and that is as it should be---fine towns fostering flourishing businesses which provide opportunities for the younger generation to take their turn at earning by serving. Kent salutes the K. H. S. Class of '48, and bids its members stand for the town in which they live, for by its homes, its churches and schools, its businesses, and its free American life this town represents all that is ine in the world today.
