PETERSON MISS DWIZLLIEY MRS. ANNE HALL Dear Mrs. Hall: The Senior Class wishes to extend many thanks to you in appre- ciation of the services that you have performed for us as class adviser for the past two years. Not only have you given your time and thought on our behalf but your Wise direction and careful advice has made you an outstanding guardian. Your judgement, attention and assistance in class projects has endeared you to us all. We feel that without you as our leader our success in Working as a unit and in obtaining funds for the Washington Trip would not have resulted so favorably. Your liberal understanding and prac- tical suggestions in every phase of school life has made things pleasanter and more heartening. The Class of 1949 Wishes you the best of luck, knowing that you helped immensely to make our high school years happy ones and that you will have many friends in future graduating classes.

We seemed to make a big hit with the Seniors espe- cially about initiation time. Our Sophomore year was highlighted as we flashed our class rings around. We entered our Junior year with a number of additions. Those who joined us from Kennebunkport were: Albert Goodrich, Kay Johnson, Cynthia Seavey, Vivian Stevens, and Hale Whitehouse. As yet, we can't figure out how we got through our first two years without them. Phil Hale, an outstanding athlete, entered our class after being transferred from Connecticut. Our activities included one social, a Barn Dance. which was a grand success both socially and financially. Junior Prize Speaking was a highlight in our career with Bob Pickett and Warren Went- worth taking home first prizes. Bob Stuart, Ronald Green, and Glendon Johnson tied for second place. while Esther Hutchins and Lillian Edwards came in close with honorable mention. A number of Juniors participated in other contests. Warren Wentworth, our only contestant in the Legion Essay contest, went as far as the York County contest. An amateur show put on by the Senior Class found another Junior in the spotlight as Vivian Stevens and Mary Jean Cluff received first prize for their playing and sing- ing. Bob Pickett and his artistic abilities took second place, Another big showing of the year came in the spring as we sponsored the Junior Prom in honor of the Graduating Class, The graduation decoration at the Town Hall was very graciously done by the members of the Junior Class. The seasonal contest plays, Teen Magic, consisted of nearly all Juniors. The annual community sing, sponsored by the Lions and the Junior Class, was a great success, The class officers for the year were: President, Bill Smith: Vice President, Tom Bailey: Secretary, Kathryn Johnson: Treasurer, Clayton Taylor. Wishing to start our Senior year with a bang. we had a bazaar at Washington Park during the summer. We appreciated the help of parents and friends in making it a great success. Our Senior yearf This is what we have been waiting for. NVe entered school in September with one addition and several deduc- tions. Pat Collett joined our fold as Clayton Taylor. Norman Gray. Barbara Mitchell. Don Dyer. Bob Stuart and Betty Noble left us. The Hrst highlight of the season was our Senior Play. A Date with Judy. which was a huge success. Our main aim now being Washington, we are earning money in various ways: selling greeting cards. candy and subscriptions. spon- soring food sales and suppers. Everyone is taking an active part in each of these activities. Class officers: President. Bill Smith: Vice President. Warren Wentworth: Secretary, Ellen Burr: Treasurer. Ronald Green. RoNAi-o GREEN.

Senior Play Cast Z4 lbafe Wil Jael, U Judy, that lovable teen-ager, was at it again and the '49'ers were the cause of it. On December second and third, the Seniors of I94-9 once more proved their outstanding ability by putting on a very successful and entertaining play, UA Date With Judy After six weeks of rehearsals, under the able supervision of Mr. James Connors, the cast put on a dress rehearsal for the grade schools. Then came the two evening performances. Back stage everyone was very nervous: but as if by magic when they entered the stage. they appeared completely calm and they kept the attention and interest of the audience throughout the entire play. But not all was calm back stage. even though those in the audience sensed nothing wrong as Judy and Randolph talked nonclialantly about Judy's friends. Ran- dolph's kite, and the weather. They did not know that behind the scenes a minor tragedy was taking place. The back entrance door got locked and there was no key to be found while back of that door some of the cast stood anxiously awaiting their rescue. Meanwhile Judy and Randolph were running out of topics. Finally someone opened a window and Mrs. Shultzhammer. whose cue by now was almost two minutes late, crawled through into the coachs room. This was no easy job as she was wearing high heels, silk stockings, a tight skirt furs, a lorgnette, and a large plumed hat, After some struggling she was lifted down, hastily assembled by many helping hands, and rushed to the stage. She entered the stage with all the composure befitting her role. Other things such as the vase Randolph broke accidentally and picked up at his mother's ad-libbed command: the time Mitzie nearly fell down the stairs with the scenery shaking dangerously: when Eloise stamped too hard on Mr. Martindale's toe: or the time Oogie and Judy ad-libbed as they fumbled with the corsage. Many things which would seem big to the usual inexperienced cast were handled smoothly by this group. During the performances not one line was prompted. This is a feat to be proud of in a long three-act play. The Seniors are proud of the cast for their first-class performance. Much credit should be given to Thomas Bailey, the stage manager and the oflicial bell- ringer, and Warren Wentworth, the general manager, who as usual did an admirable job in organizing all the business connected with the play. Praise goes also to the committees and prompters who so efliciently carried out their tasks. Mr. Connors deserves great credit and recognition. The Senior Class is grateful to him for his assistance in making their play a success, financially and dramatically. EMILY WATSON, '49. ,gif-5- gnc. - E7 f, vfrwf?

The linger- ing smell of burning leaves gave this fall night a familiar perfume. The stars blinked peacefully at the sleeping town, The dry autumn leaves crackled when a faint breeze ruffled them as I surveyed this tranquil scene. Far off in the distance the lonely whistle of a train echoed through the still night. A dog answered with a mournful howl. As l walked on. an old alley cat dashed among the dry leaves to the safety of the nearby barn, Then all settled down to the peaceful calm of an autumn night. Suddenly the dry leaves crackled and a twig snapped as if a prowler were sneaking across the lawn. I stood still, tensely peering through the darkness. trying to catch a glimpse of the intruder in this quiet scene. The dog harked. forgetting his loneliness momentarily as he rushed towards the unknown in- truder. The agile prowler scampered nimbly up a nearby tree to safety in the treetops, Seeing only a squirrel. the dog meandered back to his solitary watch and settled down in the silence. My heart regained its regular beat and l plodded on. A speeding car dashed through the deserted streets. A star plummeted from its lofty perch to show its disgust at the reckless driver. The roar of the car dis- turbed the watchful owl. He uttered a wistful Uwhooooooo- , and then settled majestically back to his meditation. These are the noises I heard one autumn night as I hurried along the deserted streets in the darkness to the safety of my home. EMILY WATSON, '49. An Amusement Park It is a humid summer night. The sky is bright with the glow of the amuse- ment park. High above the earth on a motionless ferris wheel I am seated. The breeze is blowing in from the ocean so that in my elevated position I benefit from its freshness. As I look beneath me, I am presented with a scene of confusion. The scurrying people below seem filled with animated joy. They talk, they laugh, and they sing: but only the fused noise reaches me. Vehicles of all shapes and sizes crawl along the boulevard and little figures in blue frantically gesticulate at them. The roller coaster is dashing hither and yon on a rickety platform. The lights of the pier reflect on the water. Many strolling figures dot the surface of the pier. The merry-go-round to my left looks like a musical top, creating an effervescent melody as it spins. On the beach I see winking fires like so many lightning bugs. The giant wheel upon which I am perched now quakes and slowly begins to move. It descends easily, the ground comes up to meet it. and the machine jerks to a stop. Once more on the ground I make my way to the other side of the street. As I walk across the Avenue and stand on the street corner surveying the red-faced Irish cop who waves at the oncoming motorists, he is no longer a a blue dot, but a vivid personality. I turn around to sniff the clean sea air. My nostrils are greeted instead by the tantalizing aroma of the American hors d'oeuvre, the hot dog. It Hlls the atmosphere and pulls me into the little white shop. After a brief transaction my stomach is at peace and I continue on down the sidewalk. As I walk along, varicolored booths and a strange assortment of articles present themselves to my eyes. Places of chance and skill along with horror dungeons rear their false fronts. I travel farther on to the white sand of the beach. Roisterers are cavorting around blazing fires: contented faces are shown by the fire's light. I seat myself and watch them, but soon I tire of them and look at the ocean. Of this I never tire. It thunders on and on, relentlessly pounding against the beach. It looks at human beings, laughs, and roars on. ROBERT PICKETT, '49 A Passing Glimpse The cool, moist air of November engulfed the main street of Kennebunk. Under towering elm trees, majestic houses faced the street. A southern breeze briskly stirred the few remaining leaves on their bleak and barren branches as I started to enter the town. I was struck by the straight, wide, illuminated thoroughfare. Lights of red, green, or yellow brought two sparsely populated traffic lines to a grinding standstill or signaled them to hurry to their destination. Four gasoline stations, clustered together in the town proper, radiated shafts of mellow light into the moonless sky. The blinking lights of a few taxis reminded the writer of his penniless pockets and the dreaded task of reaching home through the long, dark night. The mazda lights of the moviehouse flashed in pools of water and made gems sparkle as their beams streaked through a jewelry store window. As the nine o'clock whistle peeled its last shrill cry, the theater doors opened to present to me a cross-section of the inhabitants of Kennebunk. Small children were herded into autos by waiting parents, and other young fry flooded the candy counters of every open shop. The silent outline of a building under construction, with its protruding boards and deep, dark recesses, recalled visions of bad nightmares, The corner hotdog stand sent a groan through my starving stomach: and when its pungent odor reached my nostrils. it filled my mind with temptations. As I reached the extremity of a bulking brick building, I shuddered under the unexpected roar of gushing water surging over a hidden dam. I paused a moment to look into the swirling blackness and then left the roaring thunder to start out once again into the bleak darkness of a moonless night. WAIQREN WENTwoRTH, '49. Vacation Adventure It was vacation time. The sun had beaten down on our backs all day long. This was the kind of weather when little drops of perspiration were constantly dripping from the end of one's nose and down one's neck. Spending three weeks at the lake had been wonderful. There had been so much to do and so many new friends to meet. In two days we'd be going home, and then there would be only memories to look back upon. As Mother had said, It was lovely for the children to meet so many youngsters their own age. I agreed with her, all except her referring to us as youngsters. Why we were both pretty grown up now. Janie was eighteen and had seen Walt every day since we had arrived here. I would be sixteen in a few months, even though I hadn't seen anyone special. Of course. Dick had been around, but that was because Sally lived next door, or so I thought anyway. Sally and I had been lying on the raft when I saw Dick the first time. He and his brother had gone by with their Johnson 5. I don't know why he called it that, but it was a pretty neat little motor. Sometimes Dick would cruise around with the motor, go swimming with us, or just sit and talk with us. Once he told me about all the white perch and trout in the lake and how you could catch them with your hand if you dove down deep enough. Sally had gone home two days before: but Dick had gone swimming with me just the same, and then we talked about our vacation until Mother called me to help her with the supper. So I guessed that was the last I'd see of Dick. But here I am, almost forgetting to tell you what happened after supper. While Janie and I were drying the supper dishes, we tried to think of an exciting way to spend the evening. Things looked pretty bleak because prac- tically everyone had left for home. Then I happened to remember hearing Sally speak of a trail through the woods It was a trail she and her brothers had taken, always having to turn back because the road didn't seem to lead anywhere in particular, I didn't tell Jane all this but just suggested the idea of a walk in the woods. It was a warm night and the moon was full. Jane agreed. so we started off. Following the road as Sally had often described it, we ambled along just talking about life and all the good things it gave you, meaning just then, of course, vacations. Jane was busy describing in minute detail the sailboat Walt was making. If I hadn't known the difference, I would have thought she had made the boat herself: she knew so much about it. While I listened, I noticed a faint breeze stirring among the trees, The air had been warm and still, but now it was cool and breezy. Clouds were beginning to appear in the sky. When the moon ducked behind a dark cloud, Jane stopped talking and uttered a little cry of alarm, I realized this part of the road wasnt even in sight of the lake, as I had heard it was supposed to be. Suddenly, I felt I ought to explain to my sister that we had surely taken a wrong turn. Tall pines rocked furiously: the sky was as black as a pocket. Terrified, we stood wondering what would happen next. Then Jane grabbed my hand and we ran forward in a mad rush. It was as if we were being pursued by an evil being. Head on we went, into the blind night. I stumbled and fell. Jane pulled me up, and We started on, only to bump into another obstacle. We had run into a private cemetery, the kind that is enclosed on all sides except for a small gate opening. With more difficulty. we found the path, which at this point led abruptly downhill. Where did it go? I felt as though I were heading for a dark cave of some sort, The wind was so strong it seemed as though my shirt would be blown right off my back. I couldnt see Jane, but she clung to me, and I felt her body shaking in little hysterical sobs. She had always been afraid of storms. Oh? I thought, what will we do? A streak of lightning flashed across the sky, and simultaneously a tree cracked and fell across our path. We might have been crushed to death. At the same time that streak of lightning had given light to something else. At a short distance the clear outline of a cottage was visible. This time I took Jane's hand and started forward. By feeling our way along, we managed to get to the door. Here was shelter at last. But Jane was frightened. What was a house doing this deep in the woods? What would we End inside? I hadnt thought of that myself. As we stood there, neither of us realized that someone was opening the door. Then he said, Hello, what are you doing out on a night like this? And there stood Dick. Uttering a cry, I fell through the door. Soon Mrs. Wilson had us seated before the fireplace and drinking hot coffee. Perhaps you're wondering how we happened to come across the Vvfilsons camp so unexpectedly. In the first place we had taken a wrong turn which led us into Wilsons private drive. The electricity was off and that was why we hadnt seen the cottage before. When Dick offered to drive us home, we were laughing at the idea of get- ting lost so near home. VJhen we finally came to a stop in our own yard, Janie hopped out laughing. She announced she just couldnt wait to tell Mother about our experiences, thanked Dick for the ride home. and ran into the house. And there we sat, just Dick and I. The sky was clear now, and the moon seemed to look down in, what I might have called months later, an amusing and knowing manner, while her light fell softly over the yard, seeming to caress the treetops. When are you going home? Dick tried to make his voice sound casual. 'AThe day after tomorrow, I replied. My heart pounded like a bass drum, while I hoped I sounded equally casual. The next few minutes seemed like an eternity. There hung a question and its answer in mid air. Then Dick spoke. I've been thinking that perhaps you'd like to go to the country club dance tomorrow night. How about it, Judy? 'iI'd like to very much. Yes, I'd love to go with you. In the time that followed I didnt believe a few short minutes could ever seem like an eternity again. At the door Dick looked down at me. Good night, Judy, and for one Heeting moment his hand closed down over mine. Then he was gone. Yes, now I could say my vacation was complete. Gradually I realized this was something I had been wishing for since I had first met Dick on the raft. JEAN MACDONALD, '5O. The Whopper The smoke slowly curled up into the cold night air. The glow from the nearly spent embers cast faint shadows of the spruce branches in the glade. Seated beside the dying fire, three hunters recounted the events of the day, and the tales they told grew more lurid as the minutes passed. Oflicer Switzer took a long draw on his well seasoned pipe and slowly blew a cloud of fragrant tobacco smoke out toward the fire. Switzer was a typical woodsman who was known and respected as a law enforcement man through- out the backwoods country: his reputation as a story teller had also spread far and wide. His slow drawl started and the other two settled back for a real Switzer tale: 'Member 'bout five years ago when we had the jailbreak at Thomaston 'n' that murderer, Roberts, got away? Wal, me and John Pickford wuz out huntin'. We wuz walkin' up the tote road back yonder when we came to the spruce swamp. John usually forgot 'bout such things as jailbreaks, but this one he seemed not to be able to torget about because the day previous we had met the posse and had spent the night in the woods. Jim Harvet was in charge of the posse. This day that we cum into the spruce swamp Jim Harvet cum bustin' out of the woods and yelled to John that he wuz coming this way? I heard him shouting, ' 'Ere he comesf 'Ere he comesf' I peeked over the knoll to see John dive for the bushes, and as he hit the ground, a big buck broke through the brush, over John and right on out of sight. That buck is runnin' yet, l guess: and John ain't never got over the buck fever ribbin' that the boys bin givin him 'cause John didn't know that the murderer had bin caught the day before and the posse boys had been out a drivin' that day. DONALD KIMBALL, '50. Freshman Initiation In school on Friday, June looked neat Like most high school girls- l-ler clothes were cute, her lipstick on, Her hair in pretty curls. Over the week end she lived in dread, For each day she thought Of what would happen to her next week When respect to her was taught. On Monday. she arose quite early Twenty braids to make. She pinned her skirt above her knees Then found her Panda to take, Fill the school with music new And UCheer for our dear school, l'One, Two, Three, Four. She must Recite these and keep cool. That morning as she left her door To go up Fletcher Street. David Brown saw her and thought, Now, I'll turn on the heat. June, he called and her face turned red As low for him she bowed. You see she was a Freshman green, And he a Senior proud! On her way to school she met Other classmates many. All the boys wore lipstick bright But she couldn't wear any! All that noon she was kept busy Filling Seniors' wishes. Supplying water, napkins, straws, Carrying dirty dishes. Her friends, if they refused to do Willingly and well The things the Seniors asked them to. Sulfered 'till the bell. All week they were teased, Friday night too Every Senior a pest, But they're full pledged members now Of dear old K, H. S. NANCY COLEMANI 49 The Parade Twas festival time in old Brunswick town The Kennebunk Band was there. Along with all the other groups, Their music rent the air. They lived through their audition At the grand old armory. They hurried throu h their luncheon, g Part of the parade to be. The peo le lined the sidewalks p ... A goodly crowd was there- When all of a sudden through the streets Was music in the air. The Band snapped to attention, And hard they strained their ears Could it be the arade had started? p . Fifty hearts were filled with fears. They looked around in amazement. Then it dawned on everyoneg Their bus driver was missing And the parade had actually begun. How to get to the hi h school E Was the question on everyones lips, To take their assigned position Without further errors or slips. We must march to the high school: lt's the only thing to do: So strike up a snappy drum beat. And l'll go along with you. So spoke Mrs. Bartlett As she started them on their way. The drummers took up the street-beat And there was no further delay. Mrs. Bartlett held up the traflic As they proceeded single file Across the main street of Brunswick, Smiling all the while. They hurried along the sidewalk Never glancing from left to right. Intent upon their destination They scurried out of sight, The crowd looked and wondered At this strange sight in view- A Band intent on something But what-nobody knew. The Rumford band was just leaving As they panted to a stop. They got quickly into formation And were signaled ahead by the cop. That day is now passed and forgotten By many who viewed that parade: But for band members to whom this all happened An unforgettable memory was made. As'1'RliJ BRIDLE. '50 The Big Game The ball was booted in the air. The crowd gave forth a roar. The Blue and Vwlhlte ran down the field. Hoping to make a score. The Red and Gold threw a tackle. l-le hit the man so neat. The i'Bunkie struck the field quite hard. lt was our halfback Pete, But our halfback did not get up: He was knocked out completely. The crowd gave a sorry glance As they carried him oHf neatly, A hard fought game from the first boot. Both teams lighting to scorei And when the half was over at last. lt was Traip ahead-seven to four. Around Coach Ward the players gathered, Who still continued to smile. Do not worry, our good coach said. 'iWe will beat them by a mile. Listen closely to what l say. Use play 'two-eight' one time. We will beat them and good And run right through their line. And then the boys ran down the field. The second half had begun, And then the boys fought hard and hard. Almost the game was done. And then in came halfback Pete To call the play two-eight. The ball was given to little Pete, Who threw and not too late. The ball did fly forty long yards Into the arms of a man, And over he went for a touchdown. It was our end, Big Dan. But halfback Pete was hit again. The game was won no doubt. But the halfback Pete did not know this. The truth is, he was out. PHILIP HALE, '49, Worth Looking For An azure sea, sprinkled with foam bright, A blue sky with clouds very Heecy and white, The red of a maple on a frosty morn, The gold, like the sun, of the ripened corn. A chart of green I saw in a summer Held, And these are the colors Nature's artists yield. The chirrup of robins and other birds, The steady solo of wind-the song without words, The babble of a rock-studded brook, The whir of the heatbug in some secluded nook- An unending symphony l heard in a field, And these are the harmonies Natures masters yield. A mother deer and her spotted fawn, The night hawk which disappears at dawn, A fox with sharp eyes and white-tipped tail, A chipmunk pausing on an old fence rail- These things I've seen, l've heard, in a Held at morng For they are the displayed treasures Nature yields at dawn, JANICE CHAMBERLIN, 50 The Hunt Beside the singing brook. Where the trout lie revealed. A hunter crouched in suit of red Trying to be concealed. Several minutes before. A graceful doe did steal Quietly out of the forest. As she took her evening meal. The forest stillness was broken. A crash filled the quiet air, As the kingly monarch stag Shook his horns in despair. He had stepped forth from the forest On the trail of the feeding deer. The hunter had raised his rifle. His trembling hands showing his fear. The rifie crack shattered the silence: The monarch fell to the earth. The air was filled with voices, As the hunter showed his mirth. Wester LEECH, '49 A Domestic Problem There lived a man named Ludwig. Who dwelled in yonder glen. It was his habit to invite Company now and then. Said Laura to her cherished Lud, Now to the grocer's haste. Bring home the viands I must cook. And mind. no money waste. So Ludwig to the grocers went: His list was in his vest. He Hgured, Now if l do this. Shell have to do the rest. With cabbage. beets, and turnips. And other things galore. He turned him 'round and made his way. Home from the near-by store. On reaching home he sat right down To scan the daily news. He turned the pages here and there. To find the bit he'd choose. 'ANow, Lud, we need some wood, And there you sit. My land! You're the kind that will sit all day And never turn a hand, Yes, Laura dear, just wait a bit, Continued he to read, And so to all her pleas for wood, He never did take heed. Now, she thought, is just the time, To make him plainly see That he should turn about and help When he brings company. The kettle on the table set, She turns to greet his guests. Her plan will work, she has no doubt, And in that thought she rests. At noon-time when they sat them down And he began to serve, Well, Laura, what's happened here? You surely have the nerve! Well, Ludwig, don't you understand? A queer look she did dart. You have read the daily news, While I have done my part. CONSTANCE GOOGINS, '49. Initiators of Freshmen, Take Notice Last September, the Class of 1949 held its Freshman Reception. To the casual on-looker it resembled Freshman Initiations of past years: but it was very carefully planned, and the Seniors had a new goal in mind. They started what they hoped will be a new era in the method of initiating incoming Freshmen, Instead of putting on the act of superiority, the Seniors of '49, in the main, tried to impress the new students with their duties to their school and the im- portance of carrying them out. As each class graduates, new persons must do the work of those who have gone before. These students must be willing to work hard, sacrifice their time and energies, be loyal and show school spirit. Kennebunk High needs new blood and spirit. Persons in the lower classes must take part in the projects of the school: clubs, publications, essay contests, and athletics. With these objectives in mind the Senior Class, in their program of initiation, tried to impress upon the unlightened Freshmen the opportunities that were open to them and the importance of joining quickly the activities of the school and giving their services to put greater spirit into everything that is under- taken. The Senior Class Wishes that Freshman lnitiations in the future will be run along these lines so that instead of embarrassing and annoying the new- comers, the Seniors will give them a chance to adjust themselves quickly to their duties as good students and become successful additions to the school. , fu-'N T fwfr: l ,wg My y'-523: SCQIQQW SEMA wi,-.J yi, W4 '22- -'iv V 1 Q5 ji I QR' Jig 2 AP TE fl F7 i s E I . 3 fd' Q r:iI1lU jim .gzwlenf Counci The Student Council is made up of representatives from the various classes. who try to make a better school community Much of the work of the Council is truly representative in that they are asked to express their opinions on policies concerning the student body.

The Band practices every Thursday during Activity Period. This year the sec- tion practice has been given up in order to give that period to the whole band, thus allowing the Band two periods a week. The Band appeared at numerous football games this fall, both at home and away. Led by the majorettes they delighted the spectators by marching to form a K on the field. They also performed at the Community Sing, spon- sored by the Junior and Senior classes combined, by playing a selection of Christmas carols and marches. At the beginning of the New Year they began preparations for the Band Concert, the Community Concert, and the Music Festival, that are coming in the near future. The majorettes have added a great deal to the appearance of the Band. The new uniforms have made a colorful contribution. The majorettes have been practicing diligently, and the Band and the students are extremely proud of them.

Facing a new game schedule, the Bunkies had only two weeks to get ready for the opening kickoff with St. lgnatius of Sanford in September. With Jackson quarterbacking from the T-formation, Kennebunk showed a steady offense but had to settle for a tie when the Saints tied the ball game in the last period, 20-20. Hale, Gordon, and Jackson did Kennebunks scoring. With Clark and Gordon providing the punch, Kennebunk captured their first win by showing an offense, to come through with a l9-0 victory over Ber- wick Academy even though three key Bunkie players were sidelined with leg injuries. In the third game of the season and on the foreign soil of Traip, the Bunkies were upset by the Rangers, '54-7, The only bright SDOE for Kennehunk was a 55-yard run by David Snow in the second period setting up the Bunkies only score, which came on a pass from Jackson to Sampson. Meeting Kennett High of North Conway, N. H. on the following Satur- day, Kennebunk, featuring a new defense, held the strong New Hampshire team, 13-13. The Bunkies threatened to break the t?e in the final seconds. but a pass interception saved the day for Kennett. The next game was played at Exeter. N. H., against Exeter High. During the Hrst half the teams showed themselves to be evenly matched. YVith one minute to play in the initial half Hale grabbed a pass and went for a touchdown The second half the Bunkies controlled the ball most of the time but added only one more touchdown, winning l-1-0. Five weeks of hard practice was beginning to pay off. In very high spirits the team traveled to Vifinthrop. The game proved to be a bit one sided with Kennebunk leading l9-0 at half-time. During the sec- ond half Kennebunk was encamped on Winthrop's doorstep but was unable to score on account of penalties and fumbles until Jackson unleashed a pass to Hale that resulted in a touchdown. The final score was 25-0. Jackson. Gordon. and Smith paved the way for the Bunkie win. The following Saturday, Kennebunk met a strong championship team from Hampton, N. H. The game produced great defensive work by each side and proved to be a thriller from the start. The final score ended, 7-7, Kenne- bunk's third tie of the season. A pass. Baum to Sampson. introduced Kenne- bunk's touchdown which came in the nrst half, but the men from New Hamp- shire rallied for the equalizer. The next game proved to be the best of them all. Almost 700 fans watched the battle between Kennebunk and Old Orchard. During the first half it was a see-saw battle most of the way, but Jackson grabbed a Clark pass to score and put Kennebunk in a 7-0 lead at half-time. ln the second half. Old Orchard, using a reverse, made the score, 7-6, and scored again to lead. I3-7: but the Bunkies fought back, a pass from Clark to Baum which netted fifty yards to tie the score at 13 all. Later after a long, hard march up the field the undefeated Old Orchard team scored, to lead 20-13 at the final whistle. However, just before the end came, Smith broke away on an off tackle smash and had to be nailed from behind on the Old Orchard l5-yard line. The last game of the season was played with our friendly neighbors of Wells. The game proved to be very one sided with the score at half-time, Kennebunk 29, Wells 0. At the final whistle it was Kennebunk 57, Wells 12. Coach Ward believes that the team was at its best at the time of this game. Everybody was in on the scoring, and it was a great finish for a winning season. The season ended with a record of 4 wins, 3 ties, and 2 losses. Kennebunk had scored 174 points to its opponents' IO5. The Co-Captains, Gordon and Hale, led the scoring for the year. Next year's team will find many of the regulars gone: such as Hale, Gordon, Welch, Goodrich, Bailey, Davis, Went- worth, Baum, and Smith: but these boys wish the team luck for a bigger and better season. ,Q 11 51..f4.7f The Junior Varsity football team played 7 games, winning 2, tieing l. and losing 4. The iirst game of the season, with St. Louis, turned out to be a rout as game ended 44-7 in St. Louis' favor. Playing Sanford at Sanford the following week the junior Bunkies played great ball to hold the Redskins to a 0-0 tie. From there they went to Thornton and were beaten in a very close game, 7-O. Then came the game with Wells. Kennebunk had been picking up all fall and the team was ready to go places. They showed Coach Ward they had the stuff by routing Wells, 28-0. The last game of the season was a return game with Sanford. The lead changed hands a couple of times but Kennebunk came up with a 16-14 victory. The team showed great prospects for next year's varsity. If K. H. S. can always have J. V. teams as good as this year's, football will never be forgotten in Kennebunk. alnhitmwwi-fu ' 1 -.3 W.. 1 I f mg? I - Alix: T fm- W !' If Qffw' 4f1ur'Q5I 7?, A4 H. 2 x QMWKAA ,MMM ..

S, cannot be recorded in this publica- tion: but if they are anything like the first fourteen games, Coach Ward and squad can be commended on a victorious season. The record now stands with 10 Wins and 3 losses, lncluded in the lO wins was an 8-game winning streak Which was only snapped by a smooth-Working. high scoring St. Ignatius five, 53-36. The Bunkies started out by showing much promise as they soundly thrashed Porter High of Kezar Falls, 53-35, The game was well fought during the first half: but with Phil l-lale pacing the attack with l5 points, Kennebunk won. Up against a fast and rough Thornton Academy five, the Bunkies suffered their Hrst loss as the Nlaroon came from behind in the final seconds to squeeze out a 22-20 win. Baum was high among the Bunkies with 9 tallies. The Bunkies bounced back into the win column by rolling to a 57-36 victory over the Rangers of Traip. Kennebunk led all the way in gaining their second Win of the year, and again it was Baum and Hale for Kennebunk with l5 markers each. Jackson started on defense. Meeting their toughest rival of the year, the Bunkies next played St. l.ouis High at Biddeford. The first quarter found Kennebunk behind l4-6 as the Hrewagon of St. Louis went wild. ln the second period Kennebunk caught nre, pulling up to a two-point deficit at halftime, 20-18. St, Louis, a class A five, could strengthen their lead by only one point in the third period, 32-29, but managed to hit the basket with great accuracy in the final, winning out 50-36. Against Wells, the Bunkies started slowly, but with Ronnie Rose pump- ing in l4 points, they rolled to a 50-31 victory and the beginning of an eight- game winning streak. In a tight duel with Sanford, Kennebunk rallied in the last quarter to pull an impressive 34-25 win out of the fire over the Plushtowners. Jackson played superior defensive ball while Hale took scoring honors with l l points. In the Boston Arena on December 28, the Bunkies took home their first win from the Hub in four attempts. Playing on the large arena floor, Kenne- bunk rode to a 28-27 win over St. Charles of Waltham. The Bunkies jumped into the lead midway through the first period and led throughout. Kennebunk continued their winning and avenged an earlier loss to Thorn- ton Academy by taking the Maroon and Gold, 25-23. The game was close and thrilling throughout. Baum led the scoring with 8 points. Jackson foiled many Thornton fast breaks to keep the Bunkie lead intact. The next game with Old Orchard was rough and a bit dull but the Bunkies led throughout to take the decision, 31-21. The Bunkies had to iight hard to keep the winning streak intact in a very fast and exciting game with York, one ol our toughest rivals. It was only a last minute basket by Hale that snatched the victory, a 28-27 dazzler. York was leading 27-26 with seconds remaining, when Hale banged his second basket of the night off the boards to put Kennebunk ahead. With eight more games to play beside the tournaments and six out of the eight on foreign floors Kennebunk is going to be worked hard, but with the ability they have shown so far they are sure to beat. They are very evenly placed in the score column with no exceptional scorers. l if 7 fg .... fp f ..,. f W J J, f .M ff ,. Zi Q ! v,-,j 9 Iunior Varsity Squad unior 1!ar5ifg Ba5LefAa!! The Junior Varsity. who play the preliminary before the varsity games. have provided the fans with some red-hot, hard fought basketball. The squad is made up of Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. The team has played eight games to date, winning six and losing two. Rus Clark, Jimmy Beaulord. Nelson Wentworth, and Lloyd Robinson have all scored points and stood out on defense. The J.

After a week's trial, Coach Hartt thinned down the number to twenty-three, with eleven on the varsity and twelve on the J.V.'s. As practice continued, the girls showed promise of a good team with plenty of winning spirit. Aftcr weeks of practice the girls journeyed to Traip with high hopes. During the Hrst half things looked dismal for the Bunkies, but in the final quarter the girls drew to within three baskets as the game ended. In the first evening girls' preliminary game since 1945, the girls smacked the Wells group and gained back their confidence, but the next week Old Orchard's smooth champions walked away with an easy score. Another evening prelim showed the girls in top form as they won by one basket over the hard lighting York sextet. Old Orchard again took the Varsity game of the doubleheader in their return game at K. H. S. On a return game at Wells the girls dropped a heartbreaker by one point. The superior teams of Deering and Westbrook invaded the local gym and stopped the Bunkies drive. The Alumni combine led by the smooth working Wallace and Wentworth stopped the girls in an unscheduled game. Although the girls didn't win all their games, they played hard and proved to be good sports. The J. V. team played two games with Old Orchard and won both and then dropped two to Westbrook and Deering. Their team shows much promise for a future team at Kennebunk. l -14' FU 5 Y Plfldfvz Lf f Q! eff K all Girls' Varsity Squad Girls' Iunior Varsity r-oem - Conn fry Nineteen hundred and forty-eight marked the first time in Kennebunk's history that a cross-country team broke tracks through its fields and woods. The team record of 2 wins and 5 losses was not too impressive, but they showed great promise for next season with the whole team returning. The record was as follows: The first two meets were with Wells, which Kennebunk won easily. The next two meets were with Traip Academy, which Traip won by a very narrow score. The meet at Traip might have ended a bit differently if John Cannon had not been ill and unable to run. The next meet was with Ports- mouth, where Kennebunk made a great showing but lost another close one. Ralph Currier and Nelson Wentworth came in first and second, respectively, both setting a new record for that course. The next meet was with York, the State cross-country champions: and they proved to be just that, running away with the score. The last contest of the season was the York County meet. Kennebunk came in Hfth in a field of six. Letters were awarded to the following for the great work they have done this season: Captain Ralph Currier, Nelson Went- worth, George Lebarge, and John Cannon. Ralph Currier was made Honorary Captain since he was high man when the Hnal points were totaled. .Sinha Cllcamlaion jfac jeam This year our track team will have to go some to equal the record of last year's State Champion team. Last year two Kennebunk men participated even in the New England meet. Captain Donald Dyer was the only man from the State of Maine to win an event at this meet. He also placed in the broad jump. This Champion team started running in the middle of the winter, in order to get in condition for the Annual lnterscholastic meet, where in competition with some of the best teams in New England, Don Dyer came through with a second in the low hurdles for Kennebunk's only score. The first meet of the season was the interclass meet in which the Juniors had come from behind and won, 5925 to 572. The next week the Bunkies were all tuned up for a meet with Old Orchard Beach and Thornton Academy. Kennebunk won the meet easily, the final score showing Kennebunk with 9812 points, Old Orchard Beach with 2814 points. and Thornton Academy with 1814 points. Captain Don Dyer made 23 points himself. Then came Cheverus and Traip. The first blow was a first, second and third in the 100-yard dash for Kennebunk. Then more and more blows fell until the final score was announced-Bunkies. 77l'3: Cheverus. 27lQ: and Traip, 7. The York County meet took place May l5. Seven teams were entered, some that Kennebunk hadn't met before. that season. lt was a see-saw battle through most of the day-first Kennebunk. then Vfells: but Wells seemed to be taking more than its share of first places. The iinal score showed Kennebunk with 55 points: Wells, 47: Old Orchard Beach, 18: Thornton Academy, 8: Sanford, 7: Traip, 5: and York, 3. lt also showed that despite the rain there had been six new records set, two by Kennebunk and two by Wells. There was a tie between Kennebunk and Wells for the honor of the fifth record. Old Orchard set the other. The next meet on the agenda for the new York County Champions was the Bates Relay held at Bates College each year. Kennebunk sent a very capable relay team, who lived up to their name by taking first in one relay and third in another. Dyer and Black also won the broad jump and shot put. respectively. Now everyone was looking forward to the State meet held at Colby Col- lege. Could Academy was favored in class M competition with Kennebunk a close second. At noon, in spite of heavy rain. Kennebunk had won two firsts- Dyer in the broad jump and Black in the discus. During the afternoon. Dyer scored another first and a third. while Black added a first and a fourth. Vvfes Gordon came through with a tie for first for four more points: then David Snow added one more, making it a grand total of 28, more than sufficient to win the title. Black and Dyer had qualified for the New England meet. but Kennebunk wanted to send their Relay team, too To decide which team from Nlaine should attend the New England, Bowdoin held a trial meet. So what was there to do but to take off for Brunswick and give it a try? Kennebunk was paired with Cheverus, whom they beat rather easily: but Lewiston had a little better team so they went to the New England So ended one of the greatest years of track at K. H, S. But what of this year? lt is true we have lost Dyer. Black. Xyaterhouse, Clark and a few others, but we still have many of the champions left: Red Gordon, Fred Smith. Dave Snow. Ralph Currier. Ronnie Rose, Nelson XVent- worth, Bill Smith. besides others stepping up into the vacated shoes. l think Coach Hobbs will agree that Kennebunk can look forward to an even bigger and better track team this year. Qing, .xgfhgzfic .xdziriociafion The G. A. A. was formed early in September with all the girls in the Senior High School eligible for membership. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Elizabeth Bolton: Vice President, Nancy Kim- ball: Secretary, Mary Webber: Treasurer, Ginger Crosman: Advisors, Mrs. Maguire and Miss Hartt, The point system was established so that for 50 points, a girl receives a class numeral: for 100 points, a school letterg for 150 points, a State letter: and for 200 points, a State pin. The points are earned by various athletic activities. Under no circumstances may a girl earn more than l00 points a year, and these points do not carry over to the following year. Meetings are held once a month and yearly dues are fifty cents. This money is used for the awards that are given to the girls.
